Dis chile don't sleep dis night no how.

The above exclamation was made by con-
traband as the glass dropped by the side Of
Gen. Sherman through which he had Teen
looking at the storming of Fort McAllister.
This anxious darkey was neal fisherman when
half dozen battle flags foated grandly to
thesunset on the ramparts of the Fort our
brave boys had taken, Gen. Sherman drop
ped his glass and said, "Look it has halted
They waver, moi it's the parapetI There they
go again; now they scale it; some are over.
Look There is flag on the works Another,
auotherl It's ours! The fort is ours ~
Then this negro.shouted from the bottom of
his soul, "Dis chile don't sleep dis night no
how"
And there were thousands of other contra
bands who did not sleep that night. Let them
rejoice, for their day OF jubilee draws near.
'Tis better to be lowly BON,
And range with humble livers in content
Than to be perked up in glistening grief,
And wear golden sorrow
1t was sublime and beautiful spectacle to
see the flags of the Union wave over Fort
McAllister just as the sun was setting and
giving goodly token Of a pleasant morrow.
Well might Sherman and his brave army look
upon that sight aud rejoice IS the sun went
down on such glorious victory for the Uni-
on and for Liberty. Sherman had promised
to lead his brave boys from Atlanta to new
base hundreds of miles distant from his start
ing point. And faithfully did he fulfil that
promise. The storming and capturing of
Fort McAIlister gave him the new base for
which he had been marching SO many days.
No work which soldiers are called upon to
do is more fearful and appalling than storming
fortified places, and no warlike enterprise de-
mands drawer hearts and stronger arms. When
McAllister was invested, the line was in hall
centre, the river forming the other half The
Fort was located on the point or elbow ofland
Our troops were obliged to march Through q
narrow road IN the centre of swamp where
were buried many torpedoes for the purpose
of blowing up and destroying the attacking
force. But Yankee courage and Yankee In
genuity found no trouble In surmounting
such difficulties. A remedy was at hand.
The pickets who knew where the torpedoes
The Portland daily press., 1864-12-28

were placed, were captured and marched at
the head of the attacking column. OF course
these prisoners would not march directly on
these underground enemies, but would shy
of, and then their location was discovered
These captured pickets were forced to dig
up these Internal machines and thereby rem
der them harmless. The right of the line
charged over rice swamp in order to reach
the outer line of intrenchments, but the CEN
tire was more fortunate in having a more solid
foothold. Itdemanded stout nerves and de-
termined hearts to press forward IN tne iace
of such appalling dangers but our brave boys
were equal to the task.
Fort McAllister moupted twenty-three guns
and one mortar. There were three teninch
guns. (one hundred and twenty-eight pound
ersl and two sixty-four Founders. In the
garrison wors Major Anderson who claims to
No = hro,ser of Gen Robert Anderson, Capt
cI;ncb chief of field artillery, and several
o,h.r officers. Capt. Clinch fought like
bloodhound and refused to surrender after
our forces had the guns outside Of the Fort
he attacked captain OF infantry with the
sword and would not yield until he had re-
ceived three sabre cuts, two gunshot and one
bayonet wounds. Finally loss of blood COM
PEELED him to surrender. All the rebels fought
with desperation, and said they were ordered
not to surrender, and yet four troops, after
they had captured the Fort, magnanimously
ared their pieces in the air, and not into the
black hearts Of the brave traitors, who re-
fused to receive quarter.
This was magnanimity rebel soldiers have
seldom shown, but our soldiers are admirably
trained and are fighting the battles of Liberty
for themselves and the world, and they can
afford to be magoanimous as well as brave
Il IL q remarkable fact that our loss was but
twenty-three killed and eighty-two wounded.
So rapid were their movements, and SO sud
denly were the works carried, that the loss of
life and limb was mnch less than 1t would have
been otherwise. Our forces captured nearly
two hundred enlisted men and thirteen off,
GERS. 1t was great feat and performed adj
mirably. As our readers already know, the
capture Of this Fort formed a connection
with our feet and made the capture of Savan-
nah Of easy accomplishment. The work has
been nobly done, and the rebellion reels to
It's centre.

The above donations for the freedmen have
been collected in connection with the prelmin-
airy labors of organizing "Maine Freedmen's
Aid Society" Such organization has become
necessary in order to give unity and efficiency
in this branch of Christian effort, as also to
avoid the, danger OF collision between rival
societies and agencies which have occasioned
no little embarrassment in Maine the last
year. A meeting for such State organization
Is to be held in your city early in January, of

new poet had entered the field, who chose to be
called "Jean Ingelow.'' The owner of this in
scrutable name now in an eq ually modest man
ner appears in the ranks of prose writer's, and
her present venture promises to be as successful
as the former one. These stories are very un-
ambitious in design, but remarkably good in
execution, and show shrewd observation and a
nice power of sketching character, with entire
freedom from affectation or straining after effect
The style is quaint but pleasing, and the tone
always healthful and natural.

To most people wet day in the country
would be the dullest of all topics as well as of
all seasons; but the delightful TX Marvel makes
use Of it as conjurer's hat, from which to
draw endless entertainment. In this pretty
volume he sets before US not only the homely
poetry of modern country life, but much pleas
ant farm lore culled from old books, the very
names Of which are an unknown sound to most
ears. Here are juicy extracts from quaint au-
thors, from Homer down to John Keats linked
together by charming descriptions and much
pleasant discursive talk Of the authors own.
The book will be found very sunshiny reading
for these cold Christmas holidays.

COUSIN ALICE: A Memoir of Alice B. Haven.
/ vol. 16mo. New York: D. Appleton &

Memoirs written by the near friends of the
subject almost always seem exaggerated in their
eulogies, but in the case of the gifted and lovely
lady whose life is here outlined, we can well par
don such affectionate excess of coloring. A
brilliant mind, a fascinating person and manner,
and q character replete with all sweet and wo-
manly virtues made her in life the admiration of
wide role, and called forth the sincerest sor-
row for Der untinely death. Her biographer
has endeavored to tell the story of her life with
faithfulness, and the little narrative of her trials,
hopes and struggles is very interesting. The
book is finely printed and bound, and enriched
with beautiful portrait.

CHANGE or kAlL1OAD IINE.-On Monday
morning next, the new time table on the C.
4 3. l. and the n. 4 n. Railroads goes into
operation. Superintendent Kimball has
just returned from the Chicago Railroad
Convention, and from him we gain the fol-
loving particulars Of the change:
The morning train arrives from Chicago
at $50 a. IN, (40 minutes later than last
sumner) stops at this place twenty Ave min
utcs for breakfast, and arrives at Grinncll at
II 90 q. m
The evening train from Chicago arrives
at COS p. m.
The day train leaves Grinncll at 800 p.
III. and arrives ut Davenport at 8.l5 p. m.,
(samc as now stops here thirty-five min
utes for supper, and leaves for Chicago At
$50 p. m.
The morning train from Muscatine and
Iowa City arrives at Davenport At 500 4.
m., and connects with the morning train for
Chicago, which leaves Davenport at $50
=. m.
The accommodation train leaves Davcn-
port for Iowa City and Muscatine at 215 r.
IN. The accommodation train from Grin
nell and Washington arrives at Davenport
ut 445 p. IN.
Freight leaves for the West at g. 80 a. m.
New ARRANGEMENr.-Ncw arrangements
have been made with regared to opening
and closing the draw Of the railroad bridge
which will hardly give satisfaction to pre-
dcstrians The rule reads thus:
1.-The draw bridge will, in all cases, dur
ing navigation, be kept open. Conductors
and Engineers must understand this rule full
". The draw will be closed for the pas
sage Of trains, aud opened Immediately after
their passage"
This is reversing the order Of things
Hitherto the draw has been opened for the
the passage Of boats, and closed immediate
ly after, which gave the public an opportu-
nifty to pass over freely. Under the pres
cnt rule there can be no passage on foot un-
less you are at the draw when closed for the
passage Of train. 1t will also be closed on
Sunday all day, as no trains are running on
that day. This rule, wc presume, is made
at the instance Of the authorities OF the Is
land to keep people from strolling about the
island rs much US possible. There are
plenty Of other places to take q quiet walk
besides going to the Island.
