Lieut., McNeil's Exploit---the Captur

Lieut.. McNeil's Exploit Capture
of Gems. Crook and Kelly---Graphic
Description Of the Trip to. Cumber-
land, Md. &c.
We are indebted, says the Richmond
Whig, for the following interesting par
ticulars of the capture of the Yankee Major
Generals Crook and Kelly, t9 one of the
participants in that gallant affair:
After the surprise aud capture of New
Creek by General Rosser, Major General
Crook, of the Yankee army, was assigned
to the command of the department in which
that station is embraced. Major General
Kelly, who previously commanded the de.
partment, still remained in Cumberland,
Md, about 81 miles below, having his
headquarters at one of the hotels in the
town. Gen. Crook established his head
quarters in the same town at the other prin-
cipal hotel. As soon as this state of affairs
became known to Lieut.. Jesse O. McNcill,
upon whom has devoived the command Of
McNeill's Rangers, since the death of his
father, the lamented old captain, he resol-
we'd to risk an attempt to surprise and bring
off those two generals.
Having posted himself thoroughly ill re-
gard to the situation Of affairs in and around
Cumberland, the night of Monday, Goth
instant, he, with sixty trusty men, crossed
Knobby Mountain to tie North branch Of
the Potomac. Reaching this stream at a
point below the first picket post that over:
looked the selected route OF ingress into
Cumberland, he crossed, and ia few min.
utes the Yankees ou duty we're relieved
"Your countersigu," demanded Lieutenant
McNeill to bury Dutulman, with such
accom- paniments as seemed to inpress :he
fellow with the notion, that TO li7ulge it
was matter of self-preservation. "Bool's
Kaap," (meaning aBulps Gap') was the
quick response. ...--
Then Oh briskiy down the county road to
Wares town, near five miles distant, he NOV.

as tho old pike, soon, ehalt, who comes

Lieutenant. Having lately had his ankle
crushed, tie Lieutenant was not in con-

A'CURIoUs PRAYER.-A correspondent
Of the Western Christian advocate sends
that paper the following:
A reverend gentleman, direct from the
interior of Texas, stayed at my house few
days at the time Millerism was at its zenith
in Cincinnati. he related to me rumor
which he had heard in Texas of a man he
met in our streets as "a millerite preacher.
In Texas this man gotpermission to preach
in a school house, and took occasion to .:
buse all other denominations. He said
there were men whoprofessed to be called
and.commissioned Of God to preach the Cos
pei, but that be pretended to no such high
credentials. After abusing all who would
not say amen to his views; being about to
close, wag whispered to him, if he wish
ed some one to close for him to call on Mr..
h. He did SO. Mr.. Il took
the stand, gave out q hymn, and .aen pray
ed in this wise: g.
"Lord we thank thee that thou hast ever
sent thy ministas among us; we were a
very wicked people before they came; some
of US, however, have reformed: Westhank

Confcdsfates have unanimously dubbed him

The history of the Dutch Gap enterprise,
however, is not without its thrilling incl
dents. Ono fact'iS particularly worthy Of
note.
At point on tho canal about only sixty
FEET long by thirty feet broad, eighty seven
Confederates were put to work in August
and labored with the pick ard shovel fol
ten hours each day for week. At night
they were huddled in sman fly tents along
the banks of the canal. Yet, strange to say
the shells from our batteries always fell il
the canal at night and upon The banks du
ring the day. Thus, while our brave. boy:

Yankee guards over them we're during tht
time killed or wounded. -

8 EXCHANGE OF PRIsoNERs.-A CORES
pondent of the New York Times, writing
from Varina, February, 24th, has the follow.
ing:, .,.a4
Before left, Col Mulford told me, With
great exultation, of his having received ev-
cry man from the Richmond and Danville
prisons, and of his arrangement for the de:
livery of those from Columbia, Salisbury,
and a part of those from Florence, at an
early date. Most of these will be returned
to us at Wilmington. Those in Georgia
and Alabama prisons will be delivered' into
our welcome keeping,at Mobile, and those
in prisons west of the Mississippi, will be
received at the mouth of the Red river.
To-day, l 900 Of our poor fellows were de-
liyered from that hell upon earth at Flor
euce, which was 80 wildly described in
your columns in December last by one Of
our correspondents.
Col. Mulford also informed me that he
perfected arrangements with Judge Ould for
tbs release of the masters and crew of ves..
sells and all Northern citizens held in du-
rance by the rebels. 1t will thus be seen
that the state of the exchange question is
eminently satisfactory, and the public may
rest assured that the work Of resouing our
men will be prosecuted as rapidly as willing
hearts and hands can effect it, until not a
single one of the soldiers of the Republic
remain in captivity. As COL Mulford ex-
ultingly remarked to me: "Gen. Grant is
letting me go it wide opeu,' (to. use an en-.
gineering term, } and gives me all I ask for"
an assertion sufficient. in itself, to show that
the work gees brayely on. T..

in Robeson county, and, after spending
nearly an hour in the attempt, forced an
entrance by breaking down the front door.
Mr. william Stanton, of this county, was
staying at Mrs. M'Nair's on the night in
question, and being called by that lady to
her assistance, soon after the attack COM
menced, promptly "feported for duty
An exciting contest followed, Mrs. NJ
Nair and Mr.. Stanton both being provided
with Colts repeaters and rife, which
they used with fatal effect; one of the at
taoking party being killed and another
wounded in the breast. We regret to
learn that Mrs. M'Nair was badly burned
and her face otherwise injured by fragments
of glass and powder. Mr.. Stanton was also
slightly wounded. -, : :e.-.-
Mrs. M'Nair and Mr.. Stanton having
exhausted their ammunition, the latter, at
the urgent solicitation of Mrs. M'Nair (who
feared the desperadoes would wreak ven:
geance on him for the death of their com.
rade,) retired, and she remained alone to
brave their fury. On approaching her, the
Yankee officer in command was SO struck

that she was the first person, man or woman,

They carried off nearly all the yaluables
they could find, including silver ware and
jswelry, six thousand dollars in Canfede-

the pictures of Mrs. M'Nair,s husband and
son the latter of whom fell in defence Of

Of this noble woman savors more Of romance
than reality, bat the incidents given IN this

back to the days Of the Revolution, when

SECRETARY STATIONS GUARD.-A
Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes:
1t is singular fact that Secretary
Stanton cannot so far recover from
the belligerent attitude which so well
became him while we were at war, as
to dismiss the military guard from his
own private residence. Passing by
No. $40 K street, yesterday, about
noonday, [ encountered chap in
blue regimentals and dirty white
gloves, strutting up and down in
front of the ''palatial mansion" of
the Secretary of War, and in the
alley in the rear Of the house was
plainly audible the tramp, tramp, of
another armed patrol, who soon came
into view with bayonet on shoulder,
keeping guard over his side of the
fortitication. Isn't it remarkable.
that while the forts around Washing
ton are being dismantled and Lieu
tcnant-General Grant comes out and
goes everywhere unattended, the
Secretary of War should require to
be SO constantly hedged in by bayo-
nets? Our War Minister seems to be
the only man in the country who can
afford to keep q private battery on his
premises.
