BRIeANDIsu.-On Friday of last week,
the l1th inst, Cornelius Baker, of John
son, while on the way from Montgomery
to Belvidere, at about o'clock in the
evening. when about half way through
the 4-mile woods, was accosted by two
men in the road just ahead of him, and
ordered to stop. The night was very
dark, and the place very lonely, and fear
ing that the reason for which he was or
dercd to stop might not be such as he
would approve of, he struck his horse SO
as to get ont of such company as soon as
possible, when one of the men said to
him. with an oath, " You aOiU stop" and
made an effort to seize the reins, the other
saying IN blow your brains out, if you
don't STOP" and at the same time snap
ping a pistol at him, which however miss
ed fire. Young Baker said in reply
BLOW, and be id" Urging his
horse, he got by them, when two shots
we're fired at him, one whistling in disa-
greeable proximity to his ears. After
passing the rufians, they muttercd some
thing, but being in hurry. Baker did
not stop to learn what, and left them to
try the experiment on some more willing
subject.

WORK FOR THE SOLDIERS AID SOCI
ETIES.

Great battles are pending in the South
West. Florida has many hundreds Of
wounded. From the various Divisions
we may expect to hear of hundreds more,
but it is not easy to gather from the re-
ports just what the present number is. 1t
is larger by hundreds than we can aid as
we would wish. The Sanitary Commas
sion is in want ofsupplies of made-up gar
mehts and bedding. The patriotic wom-
en- have been so much occupied in the
absorbing work of the Fairs all over the
country, that the stock of fanel shirts
and drawers, stockings, slippers, and old
linen and cotton is much reduced. The
women of our Aid Societies. and all those
who are not members of Aid Societies,
can do direct work superior to that of
getting up Fair, at this time, by making
garments and putting up hospital stores
throughout the spring, for the pressure
on the Commission at best, will be i'm
mense.
The following from the N. Y. Branch
of the Commission tells what they are do
ing. Our N. E. Branch will soon have
report to make that we shall rejoice in.
While we must work earnestly to help
supply the stores thus sent away:

they had done there for the relief of the
wounded on that occasion. Starting with
a four horse wagon of supplies, being un-
able to get a train, they met the cars with
seven hundred men at Baldwin, where
they established themselves temporarily.
All but seventy Of the men had been at

vile, when word came from the General
that he was going to evacuate the place,
and that the Rebels were close at hand.
They chose to run the risk of being car
ried to Richmond with their suffering
charges, rather than to desert them, and
SO staid dressing wounds, and minister
ing to them in different ways.
Before the enemy appeared. however, a
train came in, whick took them, stores
and all, back to Jacksonville, sixty hours
from the time they left that place. For
ty-two hours of this time they were &C.
lively engaged attending to the men.
There was no help at hand but theirs,
and no supplies but medicine, came from
any quarter but the Sanitary Commission.
They had fortunately all that was wanted
morphine, chloroform, &c. but they
want more at once

Western man. He is a native of YER
mont, and graduate Of West Point in
the class of 1916. He has for some time
been serving in the Army of the Cumber-
land, where his reputation as keen and
practical strategst has been of the high
est order. 1t was he who planned the
movement, executed in part by Gen. Hook
er. for the crossing of the Tennessee river
near Bridgeport, and the dislodging Of
the enemy from the south banks, which
gave us the possession of both railroad
and river routes to Chattanooga, and real
ly enabled our army to maintain itself
there. 1t was substantially turning the
key which unlocked the whole position
for us in that pasticn for us in that vi
cinity. The rebels saw 1t in that same

for us to say how much truth there is in
the current rumors respecting the retire
ment Of Gen Meade from the command
of the Army of the Potomac; but should
they prove true, Gen. Smith, according to
the present appearance, would stand the
best chance of becoming his successor
