Wade Hamptonss Attack ON Gen.
Fitzpatrick.
N. G correspondence ofN. Y. Tribune.

N. G correspondence Of n Y. Tribune.
After the men had gone into camp, Gen.
Hampton sent for his officers and arranged
bis plan of attack, which was as follows:
Gen. Wheeler was to have the right, and
right center; Gen. Y0l6g was to have the
left center, and Gen. Butler the left.
Their lines were formed in circle, almost
enveloping our camp. In this order they
moved their main force within one hun
dred and fifty, and at some points within
fifty yards of our camp fires. Our men
lay wholly unconscious of the presence of
the enemy or of danger, supposing, of
course, the piokets-if there were any
cause for alarm-would rouse the camp |;
but they, poor fellows, had been placed in
the center of Wade Hampton's lines, and
were all "gobbled in five minutes after
they had been assigned positions. The
rebels rode up in blue clothes, with bum
dies of forage tied to their horses, and
were of course taken for our own men,
who had just been sent out for forage.
Every man was captured and disarmed.
In the morning, at four o'clock, reveille
was sounded by our men. Immediately
after. Gen. Wheeler moved to the attack
on the right, with Gen. Young advancing
on the center. The MEN were aroused

From the saltwater Messenger.
Sergeant John May, former resident Of
this city, veteran of Company b, and at
present member of Company A, First
Minnesota Battalion, was captured by the
rebels in an engagement near Pittsburg,
Va, On the 22d day of June last. He
made his escape by jumping from the cars,
while being transferred from Florence to
Salisbury, N. O., via Wilmington.
We give below few incidents of his
capture, captivity and escape:
He was taken prisoner on the 22d of
June, as stated above, with 1000 of our
men, and taken into Pittsburg that night.
They were removed to Libby Prison next
day, where they remained two days, long
enough to be closely searched, by an Off
Ger connected with the prison, who took
from them money, pocket-knives, valua-
bles Of every kind, including sugar, coffee,
&C., which they happened to have on
hand, having drawn four days. rations the
day before they were captured.
THE SEARCH
was conducted in the basement, and John
being luckily located on the third floor,
received timely notice of the manner in
which the examination was conducted and
many were the ingenious devices resorted
to by the boys to save their greenbacks
from being appropriated by the thieying
sooundrels, who boast of their high sense
Of honor, and chivalrous treatment of q
conquered foe. Learning that their pork
was returned to them, many of them
scooped out q cavity in the meat, and,
wrapping up their money in a snug roll,
concealed it therein, and by that means
generally saved their money. One man
twisted up roll of bills, and thrust them
into the bowl of large wooden pipe, and
covered them lightly with tobacco; bu,
the examining officer, taking. a fancy t.
the pipe, appropriated it for his own use
and the rightful owner was not only lef
pipeless but penniless. Others sewea thei
money in the Innings of their garments
and were generally successful in saving it
Mr.. Mayhad skein or two of patent liner
thread, and undoing the skeins, and roll
ing ND his money-about forty dollars-iI
as small a package as possible, wound hi
thread carefully around it, and stuck hi
needles carelessly into it, and when th
officer, in turning his pockets wrong sid
out, saw the skein, he remarked that

THE MOUNTAIN STREAM.

In the waning light,
Of summers night,
While the whispering leaves Of the maple
We're coquettishly waving, the cool southern
Above and around,
Rose the tremulous sound
OF numberless voices murmuring low,
United In singing with musical dow,
And mystical diction,
Ewes sweet benediction,
Like the far of Ginning of distant bells,
Came the cadences holy and lengthening
As the gorgeous robes of the dying day,
By the weeping night were folded away.
Entraneed by the power
OF the magical hour,
was borne far away In . beautiful dream,
TO dim old forest, where Q mountain stream,
With silvery voice and o sparkling eye,
With its dancing feet went tripping by
TO the meadows green-far, far below,
Where the daisies wild and buttercups grow,
While the echoing shout of its laughing wild,
Through the green Isles ring like the voice Of
a child.
Oh! fearless and free as bird can be,
Or snowy sail on the foaming sea-
Was the springing bound and the merry song
OF that mountain stream as 1t leaped along.
What thrilling memories cluster DER
Each tangled, dripping and mossy shore
The tinkling fall Of each jeweled wave
Each reflected image its bosom gave
Each waving shrub-each stately sedge,
That gracefully leaned DER its grassy edge,
The shrinking flowers that modestiy drooped,
While the streamlet bathed each snowy foot.
Bright mountain stream bethink me now
OF faces as gladsome and gay as thou
OF floating tresses of shining gold,
More precious than rivers of molten gold
OF glittering bands of midnight hue,
That mouldering lie meath the cypress and
OF eyes that flashed in the morning light
Like the thousand gems on the brow of night
Of eyes like viOlets dripping with dew,
Earnest and trusting, tender and true,
That dropping in loveliness, bashfully hid
From the worshipping gaze meath the fringed
lid;-
OF voices so sweet, so thrilling their tone,
Once heard, in the heart reigned forever alone.
Zen the warbling bird, the breeze and the
rill,
By their melody charmed. were voiceless and
still.
All! the white hands that beckon, the pure
forms that gleam
In their wondrous light DER thy bosom, fair
stream!
Hovering, lowering, nearer they come,
Reckoning still to their heavenly home.
Would might ever thus blissfully dream
Of the forms that once loved thee beautiful |

Life too Short for Strife.

CHARLES DICKENS relates the following
of DOUGLAS JERRoLD,
Of his generosity I had proof within
these two or three years, which it saddens
me to think of now. There had been an
enhancement between us-n0t on any per-
sonal subject, and not involving any angry
words-and good many months had
passed without my ever seeing him in the
street, when it fell out that we dined, each
With bis own separate party, in the Stran-
gers Room of the Club. Our chairs were
almost back to back, and took mine after
he was seated; and at dinner q am sorry
to remember) I did not look that way.
Before We had sat long, he openly wheeled
his chair round, stretched out both bis
hands in an engaging manner, and said
aloud, with bright and loving face that ]
can see as I write to you:
"Let us be friends again. A life is not
long enough FIR thisl"
Jerrold was not Christian, but bis con-
duct in this case was worthy of the Chris
tian character. On dying bed, how in
sioniAcant will appear many things about
vbich we contend in bitterness and wrath
Life is so short, its inevitable sorrows so
many, its responsibilities so vast and SOL
emn, that there is indeed no time we
ought to spare in bruising and mangling
one another. Let not the sun 90 down
on your wrath. Never close your eyes to
sleep with heart angry towards your
brother and fellow-suferer. See him if
you can. If you cannot see him, write
him, If he Ia truo man and q Ohriatian
he will listen. If he B not, you will have
done right, and your soul will b. bright
with the sunshine of Heaven.
