ns5g~ The feat of running the blockade
at Vicksburg by the Queen OF the west
is unquestionably the most daring eX-
oloit of the war, and few other men than
Col Ellet would have undertaken a task
so hazardous The following vivid ac-
count of the feat will give some idea OF
the perils and dangers undergone by this
heroic officer and his crew:

should run the blockade this morning at

did not raise steam at the proper time,
nor ioin the attempt, and the Queen did
not ret off as soon as expected. AT SIX
o'clock she started under a full head OF
steam. She was under command OF CoL
Elet. who aided in capturing Memphis

EDS. JoURYAL-Aboht two weeks ago
a man wearing U. S. uniform, calling
himself Capt. Freeman, of the llth Ken
lucky Regiment, came to this city, and,
being at a loss to create a sensation, cir
culated report that Lieut.. W. W.
Combs, of the 42c Regiment Indiana
Volunteers, was not in the battle of
Stone River, Tenn, on account of coo
ardice; that he was with him every day
(during the battle), promenading the
streets of Nashville. That he told a
willful lie he well knows; and no one
but a low, mean, contemplate, lying
coward would have slandered a young
man like Combs, who has been all devo-
ton to the Union and his regiment
since its organization. To those sweet
