A VISIT TO MOUNT MANSFIELD.

Your correspondent has obtained an
unexpected eminence On my way to the
lakes a traveller discoursed about " Mount
Mansfield" with so eloquent tongue as
to divert me for day from my westward
course. The highest peak in the Green
Mountains is said to he second only to
Mt. Washington, If your 4th Of July
@ronaut, when about twenty times the
heighth of Bunker Hill monument, had
floated off at the level Of that altitude to
the north and west with brisk wind, in
an hour or two he might have stepped
from his aerial car onto our doorstep,
hitched bis balloon on the chin" Of Mt.
Mansfield, and dined sumptuously with us
at the hospitable Summit House. Re-
freshed by nights repose in this keen
exhilarating mountain air, he could greet
the morning sun rising beyond the ocean
OF mountain tops, and enjoy one of the
granjest and most extensive views to be
found in that blessed part Of the Creators s
e foot-stool' called New England.
On the west are the Adirondacks, more
to the north the waters of Champlain
with silvery thread oflight on the north
and the south, the Green Mountain range,
Of which this is the greatest elevation,
bounds the horizon; on the northwest,
Montreal mountain shows the region Of
the St. Lawrence, and sixty miles distant,
on the east, Mount Washington rises in
solitary grandeur.

HUCKLEBERRIEs.

People generally know but little of the
quantities Of this fruit gathered and sent

the Altona depot, one day this week, we
had an opportunity Of noticing and
learning what trade is carried on at
that one point. An agent who has been
there about three weeks, purchasing, in

from fifty to sixty bushels. They are
consigned to traders in Rochester, Buffalo,

EXPLOIT OF A HERO.

"Dunn Browne" in the Springfield
Republican, thus describes a scene in
the battle of Gettysburgh: 49 r.,J
To show you that all the gallant and
chivalric exploits are not confined to the
history of ancient battles, to the knight
Grant and feudal times, am going to
tell you of one little incident of the late
battle which know you will thank me
for relating, and for the truth of which
you may put me down rs authority. There
was huge barn right in the track of that
desperate charge of the enemy on the Sd,
whose blackened brick walls are doubtless
remembered by every visitor Of the battle
field as one Of its most prominent objects.
II is the same barn which a part Of the
18th New Jersey charged and carried in
gallant style on the evening OF the I'd,
capturing therein 97 prisoners, and at
another time two companies Of the l4th
Connecticut, also with similar result
but not so many prisoners. Indeed it was

Hoosier boys, so they went to work and
assisted the men to tie their old, weary,
worn out bones to the fences, and place
their saddles on the backs of their fresh
horses, which was soon done, and the men
were in their saddles, drawn up in line
and ready for the word. The boys were

they would stand fire ever afterwards
The old captain advanced, and walking
up to Morgan, said Captain, are you
all right now? 2" Wolford rode up on one
side of the column and down the other,
when he moved to the front, took off his
hat, paused and said, "Now. captain, am

whole column rushed through the crowd
with lightning speed, amid the shouts and
huzzas of every one present-some lead

their frail tencments of horse flesh tied to
the fences, to be provided for by the citi-
zens. 1t soon became whispered about
that it was Morgan and his gang, and

"On Saturday last, the order prohibits

quors TO enlisted men went into effect in
Yorktown. The bad quality Of the wa
ter in the Fort caused porter and ale tc
be used here pretty extensively as sub.
stitute. and as the supply from Baltimore
was scarcely equal to the demand, it was
seldom permitted to attain to a sufficient
age to be a wholesome beverage. The
more cooling drinks now supplied to sol,
diers, such as lemonade, mineral water,
sarsaprilla. etc., will, it is thought, be
more conducive to the health of the men,
or if these are, not rclished, "a sufficient
quantity of ice may be purchased for the
same amount of money that couple Of
glasses Of the exploded beverage have cost
to make the water palateable. The ra.
ton of whiskey now furnished by the
commissary department, will be found to
supply all the stimulant necessary to
health, and will prove quite consola-
to those who love their beer. Regular

conflict between the advancing and reced-

breathed out their lives during the three
bloody days. The incident | speak of oc-
CURED on the afternoon of the I'd. The
shirmisbers were firing very briskly and
those Of the enemy, heavily reinforced,
were pressing our line back. Eight or
ten of our boys were holding the barn,
but the envmy's line had come up even
with it and more, and it was evident that
our little party must fall back and let the
buttcrnuts gain the advantageous position
of harrassiug us. The Col. in command
of the I'd brigade, Sd division, I'd army
corps, called for an officer to volunteer to
60 down to the line and order our boys TO
fire the barn before retiring. Quick as
thought my hero put spurs to his steed
(most men would have crawled down on
foot to front where bullets we're buzzing
as they were there at that time) and dash.
ed down the slope with at least fifty skir-
mishers practising on him as target.
Right up to the barn he charged (Which |
have told you was flush with and even lit
tie beyond the enemy's line of skirmishers
coolly delivered his message, and then
turned and rode back to our lines, expos
ed to a redoubled fire. At the surprise
Of the rebels at his coming was over, they
had time to prepare and take deliberate
aim from both sides. Miraculously not
one of the hundred bullets that whistled
near him touched either rider or horse.
On reaching our lines (though by no means
out of range of the balls) he reined his
horse round, waved his hat in the air and
made a graceful bow to the unseen marks

sorry to see him escape unharmed. 10
make the thing complete, our nople Gen.
Hancock and several other generals we're
at that time passing that part of the lines,
saw the gallant deed done, and the gen.
eral lifted his hat in honor of the brave
soldier who at that moment rode up. l
have told you the story and now tell
you the name of the hero-Capt Postles
of the lst Delaware, acting inspector gen.
eral of the I'd brigade of our division.
Many more brave deeds may he live to
perform and escape as fortunately. /
neard practical man say that it was a
foolish thing to do; that the captain
might as we'll have effected his object by
going down cautiously on foot, &C., &c.
Away with such practical notions. The
example of such dashing deed as this
aud scores of other similar ones | might
mention is of worth inestimable in an
army. 1t is by such a high spirit of
courage, such scorn of danger, that the
tones of an army is to be kept up. l tell
you soldiers in trying hour will follow
such a inan as that wherever it is necessa-
ry to go, and it is positively necessary
sometimes to go into very dangerous pla-
ces indeed to gain battles.
