The Swamp Angel is the one which
has had the pleasure Of sh, Hing Charles
ton. Why it has such celestial appii-
cation az "Augel' / am loss to con-
ceive; but Swamp" is right and to The
point since the battery which it graccs
was built in swamp which Northern
farmer would view with horror dcubly
horrible.
Col. Serrell, of the New York Engi-
neers, had the charge of its construction,
and being of an energetic constitution
himself, and not afraid t. enter swampa,
you can imagine his surprise when ono
of his lieutenafas, whom he had ordered
20 take twenty men and enter the swamp,
said that he "could not do it--tho mud
was too deep" Col Serrell ordered MIN
to try. He did 80, and the lieutenant
returned with his men covered with mud,
and said
"Colonel the mud is over my men's
heads; | can't do it"
The Colonel insisted, and told the
Lieutenant to make a reputation for any
thing that was necessary for the safe
passage of the swamp. The Lieutenant
made his requisition in writing, and on
the spot. Ii was as follows 81 t0alt
tlOonty u,ea, eighteen feet long, 10 cross a
stOamp fifteen feet Deep"
The joke was good one. II secured,
however, not oubit to the stature OF
the Lieutenant, but rather his arrest for
disrespect to his superior. The bate
ry, however, was built with the aid Of
wheelbarrows and sand. Like Jonah'f
