advocating sentiment entitled to our ad-

Such is the course they are pursuing, and
such . course ought to have our cordial APP

them in compact unity and fiery valor, to

BURLINGTON WEEKLY HAWKEYE;

| A FULFILLED DREAM.-1n an obituary
notice in the NortAcestesn Advocate Of
the death Of Rev. J. McKendree Springer,
Of the West Wisconsin Conference Of the
NJ. e. Church, and Chaplain Of the Third
Wisconsin Regiment, who was killed at
the battle Of Resaca, Georgia. May 18th
last, we find the following curious MARIA
ton:
ssWhile ct Tullahoma, Tenn, on his
way TO Fayetteville, he had . rema1kable
dream, which Minutely presented the then
future circumstances of the march south,
the fight In which he was wounded, MS
being carried to Nashville, and bis dying
there. Subsequent events verified the
dream in every particular. The Regiment
started from Fayetteville on the present
campaign April 18th. On sunday, May
ton near Resaca, Georgia. Mr.. Springer
went into the line Of battle, to watch the
contest. Soon the captain of one OF the
companies was killed. In few minutes
the first lieutenant also fell, and soon the
second lieutenant (Orrin LongstafD was
wounded in his right hand and his SWORD
d1 ..PPPs 49,. ,..., - -.v.r . little. when
the Chaplain sprang forward, seized Lieu
tentant Longstaffs sword, forced his way
through the company to the front, before
the enemy, rallied the men by his shout
and presence, and led them in charge.
He was Q prominent mark for the rebel
sharpshooters, and soon fell, his right leg
shattered below the knee. He was con.
veyed to Nashville, where he received
proper medical treatment; but all IN vain.
The wonderful faithfulness with which the
dream or vision had been accomplished, as
seen by himself and Lieut.. Longstan. who
was his faithful attendant amer leaving
Fayetteville, but confirmed him In his I'M
preasions; and, though his symphonic were
favorable and his mind was always lively
and cheerful, yet he constantly insisted
that his work was over, and he was soon 70
die. On the 18th Of Juno he suddenly
raised himself in bed and said, "Longstaff,
come here, I am dying" After giving his
last messages and directions, be shook
hands with the Lieutenant and said =
ssGood-bye. Tell nay friends die IN the
Lord" He then sunk back in the bed,
closed his eyes, placed his hands on his
breast and ''fell asleep in Jesus"
chaplain Springer was young minis
ter of no ordinary promise, devoted
Christian and true hero. The occurrence
Of the dream and its exact accomplishment,
both attested to by persons perfectly relia-
BILE, was something very singular; and 1t
shows that sometimes there is more than
airy imaginatinns in these fugitive
thoughts Of the night"

The KEARsAR0E.-A name that Is to be
forever memorable deserves to be proper
~ spelled. Nearly all the papers print
the name Of the destroyer Of the Alabama
making it "Kearsage." The Navy Regis
ter, which is the proper authority, spells
it "Kearsarye." The ship was named af-
ter q mountain, described in Lippexcott' 5
Gazetteer, as being in Merrimack county,
New Hampshire, rising GAGS feet above
the level of the sea, its SUBMITS consisting
Of bare granite. It must be confessed that
Kearsarge is not a musical word. Nor
was the roar Of her guns musical in the
ears of Semmes and his Confederate pi-
rate when they blew in the side Of the Ala
bama with q broadside. But the glory Of
the exploit makes up for the want Of Gu
phony in the name. Henceforth the name
Of Kearsarge, ugly ~ it is, is to be upon
the roll of
1.-THE few. the immortal names,
That were not born to die"
A correspondent Of the St. Louis Demo
crdt, with Sherman's army, relates the fol-
lowing occurrence a. one Of the incidents
OF recent battle:
yesterday young man was brought to
one Of our division hospitals in an ambu-
lance from the front, severely wounded a.
he supposed in the foot. He was carefully
taken from the ambulance, and placed
upon the operating table preparatory to
the administration of chloroform. The
ball had torn the toe of his shoe entirely
of. The shoe was carefully taken off,
when ON examination it was found that not
q drop Of blood had been drawn, the ball
just glancing from the end Of the toe nail.
The young soldier was the BEST pleased OF
any one present, and when he found out
the true state Of the case, took mp his gun
and went back to his regiment without de-
lay-the 4th Wisconsin,"

TEE OLD F1oHr OVER AaAIN.-The af-
fhir between the Kearsarge and Alabama
was virtually tho old fight between Yam
kee and British tars over again. 1t was z

1917 reproduced. The Kearsarge was an
American; the Alabama was an English
vessel. The former was American built,
American manned, American managed
the latter was built in British port, out OF
Britain materials, mounted BY British guns
and manned by crew Of picked br1tlsn
sailors, and fought upon the Britain sys-
tenn.
Nor was this all. The Alabama was .
pet Of John Bull. He was proud OF her.
He boasted that she would run down any
Yankee craft that might oppose her. He
bestowed extraordinary care in her 0utfit.
The best gums in his arsenals were placed
aboard her. Her artillerists were trained
