Touching Scene In Fort PioksrInG-
Thrilling speech By Mrs. Bootb,

ThrhhnH bpeech by mrs. Hootbl.
On Tuesday last. the widow OF Majo,, Booth,
the late commander at Fort Pillow, arrived at
Fort Pickering, below the city. Col. Jackson,
Of the Sixth United States Heavy artillery, had
bis regiment formed Into lipe for her reception.
In front Of is centre stood fourtegn men. "A
fne, brave fellows a. trod the o. rth. They
were the remnant Of the hrst baJ.tallon now
drawn up-All who had escaped the hendlsh
scenes OF Fort Pillow, scenes that have stamp ped
yet deeper blackness on the Infamous brow Of
treason.
Mrs. Booth came forward. In her hand she
bore nag, red and clot'.ed with human blood.
she took position In front Of the fourteen
heroes, so lately under her deceased husbands
command.
The ranks before her observed silence that
was full OF solerAnity. Many q hardy face
showed by twitctAng lids and humid eyes how
the sight OF the 'oereayed lady touched bosoms
that could meet steel, and drew on tho foun-
tain OF tears that had remained dry, even amid
the piteous 81 ghts witnessed on the battlefield
after fierce action.
Turning TO the mon before her, she saldi
"Boys, have Just come from . visit 10 the
hospital At Mound City. There ! saw your
comrades-Wounded at the bloody struggle 10
Fort Pillow. There found this nag-you re-
cogniEe It, One Of yoNr comrades saved II
from the insulting touch OF traitors at For

the Dag that waved Its proud defiance over
tho works Of Fort Pillow
Soldiers! this nag I give to you, knowing
that yor will ever remember the last words OF
my nobIS husband: 'Never surrender the nag
to traltorsl'"
Col. Jackson then received from. her hand,
on behalf Of his command, the biood-stained
nag. He called upon the regiment to receive
II as such q gtft ought to be received. At that
call he and every man OF the regiment fell
upon their knees, and, solemnly appealing tc
the God OF battles, each one sworn to avengt
their brave and failen comrades, and never
never 70 surrenr rIer the nag 70 traiton.

number. Walker, Wise b Co., publishers.
This is q history Of the early life Of Hon.
Salmon P. Chase, Secretary OF the Treasury.
The author, Mr.. J. T. Trowbridge, says, ir, his
preface, that the materials from which his mar
ratlve ls composed have been drawn from au-
thentic sources, but that he has chosen to q i've
the spirit Of the scenes and incidents described
rather than dry details, and to this end he llss
introduced, when necessary, imaginary con-
versations and fictitious circumstances. At
the same time, the most conscientious care has
been used in depicting, without suppressr on
or exaggeration, those strong traits Of char ac-
ter which rendered the subject Of the biography
remarkable among boys, and afterwards dis tin
guIshed among men,"
Those who are familiar with the writings OF
Mr.. Trowbridge will readily believe THAI he
has made an interesting volume Of this biogra-
ply. There is something like romance in the
early life Of nearly all the public men who have
risen to distinction in this country, and nothing
iS more interesting and pro6tableto the young
than these examples OF eminent position, at.
taInod after q struggle with difficulties such az
surround the youth who has nothing but his
hands and brains to work with. This hand
some volume will be read with avidity. It II
