SECESH OUTWITTED.

Squire Bailey had the biggest, and
best, and most docile mule in Marlin;
Bottom, and Martins Bottom is about the
biggest and best neighborhood on Green
brier River. Squire Bailey was inclined
to be a Union man, and did not entirely
conceal his sentiments, Notwithstanding
the presence efi Floyd's army in the
vicinity. About the time of FlOyd's "tu.
muItuous fight" from that region, he was
very much in need of transportation, and
according to the established usages among
seoesh, he proceeded to levy .on the
teams of the neighboring farmers. Oi
course, Union man, like Squire Bailey
was not to escape; but Squire Bailey
taking time by the forelock, very quietly
one night removed TO a safe locality all
bis live stock except his favcrite mule
which he kept for hauling wood and going
to mill. This mule being apparently the
only support of large and increasing
family, Squire Bailey fondIy believed the
secesh would not be heartle8s enough tc
rob him of it,
But Squire Bailey did not understand
Secesh. One fine morning along came
Quartermaster Blife, accompanied by
half a dozen armed men, from Floyd's
army. Squire Bailey was standing al
his gate when Quartermas.er Bhfe ap-
preached, ana commenced conversation
with him.
Good morning, Mr.. IA
Bailey suggested the Squire.
Yes, Bailey; good morning Mr., Bal.
ley
'MOrnin,' said the Squire.
4 understand, Mr.. Bailey, that you
have number of horses and mules tha;
you wish to dispose Of to our glorious
COnfederacy.'
Mistake, sir said Bailey; 4 have
none to sell to anybody
But, Mr.. Bailey, some gentleman in
formed NE yesterday that you had quite
number of horses and mules

ing through the cracks. You'd be ask
ing fifty for that mule, s'pose. Well,
its big price, but if you won't take less,
Ill have to give it: Corporal, just write
a note for fifty dollars, payable in Florida
swamp lands, at twenty-five dollars an
acre, two years after our glorious Con-
federacy achieves undisputed independ
ence.'
But, Mr.. Blife,' demonstrated the
Squire, IF you take my mule, my family

Western eloquence continues to i'm
prove. A Wisconsin reporter sends the
following sketch. A lawyer in Mil
wauke was defending handsome young
women acused of stealing from large
unoccupied dwelling in the night time,
and thus he spoke in conclusion.
Gentlemen Of the Jury, 1 am done.
When gaze with enraptured eyes on
the matchless beauty of this peerless
virgin, on whose resplendent charms
suspicion never dared to breathe; when
| behold her radiant in this glorious bloom
Of lustroUs lovellness, which angelic
sweetness, might envy but could not
eclipse; before which the star on the brow
of night grows pale, and the dimonds of
Brazila are dim; and then reflect npon the
utter madness and folly of supposing that
so much, beauty would expose itself to the
terrors of an empty building in the cold,
damp dead of night, when innocence
like hers is hiding itself amidst The
snowy pillows of Tepose; gentleman Of
the Jary, my feelings are too overpow-
ering for expression, and throw her
into your arms for protection against
this foul charge, which the outrageous
malice of disappointed scoundrel has
invented ssblast the fair name of this
lovely maiden, whose smile shall be the
reward of the verdict which know you
will give.
The jury acquitted her without leaving
there seats.

up, the road at the top Of bis speed he'll
10 Mr.. Quartermaster, the enemy is
coming right dSwn on our camp, and the
General wants you Immediately. Our
army is rnnning like all possest, and the
General wants you to help save the plum
der. Hurry back as hard as you can run,
or the enemy will be beswixed you and
our fellers.'
Blife waited to hear no more, but
broke for his camp like a quarter-horse.
When he arrived, and found that the
story was all false, terrible was the ven
'geance he vowed but before he had time
to execute his threats, Fl0yd's army was
in remote part Of the Stats.
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
messenger who sent the Quartermaster
off SO precipitately, was an associate Of
Jacks and that Jack had turned The
Quartermaster's horse with his head Up
the road, and by sharp cut with a whip
sent him out of sight before Blifs recov-
cred from bis confusion.
Squire Bailey gOthis mule again, little
the worse for Jacks tricks, and he is as
quiet and useful an animal as there isin
all the country. The double eagles Jack
returned with the mule, taking the
Quartermaster's horse as compensation
for his services.
Jack Phillips says he would like to
have an opportunity of inquiring of the
self-sacrifcing patriot Of the glorious
ConfederaCy whether il hurt much when
the mule kicked his hat Of.-Wilkes'

to church to be christened, and had
chosen for it the name of Lucy. Unfor-

what name she had selected, she replied,
'Luthy, thir.' Understanding her to say
'Lucifer,' the man of clericals robes was
very naturally, considerably shocked, but
