never before had "rid on a railroad"
who was passenger on one of the Yer
mont railroads at the time of a recent
collision, when freight train collided
with passenger train, smashing one
Of the cars, killing several passengers,
and upsetting things generally. As
soon as he could recover his scattered
senses, the conductor went in search
of the venerable dame, whom he
found sitting solitary and alone in the
car, (the other passengers having
sought terra frma, with a very placid
expression upon her countenance, not
withstanding she had made a COM
plete summersault over the seat in
front, and her bandbox and bundle
had gone uncercmoniously down the
passage way.

ductor.
"Hurt ! why 2" said the old lady.

severely injured"

both our men and rebel deserters! A
Savannah letter to the Cincinnati Ga
sette, relates this revolving case Of hui
man and brute ferocity: f Al
The parties who had escaped were
privates Crummit and Harris of thu
9th Illinois Cavalry; Martin Cloes, 81
Illinois, and Patterson, of the I'd New
York. Two of these soldiers were
eighteen years old, one twenty, ant
one only seventeen. They were chas
ed by fifteen dogs in charge Of some
twenty men. t...' ..
| Our men, finding the dogs close up
on them, and no chance of escape pre-
senting itself, climbed on the porch
of house and waited till the party
came up. Enraged that their thirst
for Yankee blood had not been gratifi.
ed, they made Cummit come down to
them, then knocked him on the head
with musket, formed ring, put the
dogs in it, and threw him in to them.
He was terribly torn, and soon after
died. Harris and Cloes were treated
in the same way and badly torn.
Patterson, being a mere boy, kneel-
ed down and prayed these human
fiends not to let the dogs tear him ;
but to no purpose. He was forced
down, and on undertaking to regain
the porch, was kicked in the face, all
his front teeth broken out, and he rem
dered insensible, and in that state
thrown into the ring. The dogs had
satiated themselves with blood, and
refused to touch him. This is only a
single case of many which could be

VIcKsBuRG, Miss, Feb. II, 1865

VIcKsBURG, MISS, Feb. II, 1865.
DEAR HILDRErH AS the 18th of this
month brings the draft, it, as matter
of course, creates quite stir in this
city from the fact that the military au-
thorities have decided that the same
old draft shall show itself in this re-
claimed city from rebeldom.
Many are the "draft associations "
and Offices for procuring substitutes.
As your correspondent is not a subject
he laughs much at the terror of those
liable. In the associations person
pays one hundred dollars, and if any
person is drafted, the association
agrees to provide an acceptable sub
stitute.
Your correspondent has received
splendid offers, as have all discharged
soldiers. But confess my blindness
to this proposition-I cant see it
| much prefer seeing every drafted
man compelled to travel for the seat
of war, and work out his own saliva
ton with fear and trembling. l might
volunteer, as have done before, but
when | go as a substitute for any
man let me be kicked to death by
mules, shot with sled-stake, or stab
bed with Bologna sausage. / strong
ly believe in the old school-boy motto:
Caesar or nothing"
Nothing of any Importance is now
transporting here. The "militial array"
as my friend terms it, is still very i'm
posing. But there are no rebels who
have the temerity to come up to the
breastworks and be shot. Sometime
ago Gen. Dana issued an order concern
ing one Miss Anna Lum, which Gen.
Grant has ordered him to revoke.
also understand that the President has
written to Gen. Dana and asked him
why he issued orders in direct conflict
with instructions from Washington. ]
believe that the same authority has
given Gen. Candy orders not to i'm
pose such restrictions upon trade. If
SO, God be thanked. for trade is dull
in the city assure you. w
Gen. Davidson, who made the ;m-fa-
nous raid, now commands in Natcbez.
By request, party of Spectators cross
ed the river to Vidalia with few
wagon loads of supplies to take to the
needy ones just outside the lines. AT
ter they had gone one or two miles be-
yond our piekets, party of guerillas
set upon them and captured all their
stores, and they came back sadder and
wiser men, with nothing to show but
Confederate parols. l rather think
that that kind of speculation is played
out.

old proverb, but this can be improved

A Horrible Story.

1t is said that General Sherman's
soldiers killed every dog found in their
line of march through Georgia. Thou
sands of the CANNES were made to
bite the dust and no marvel, for it is
in evidence that hundreds of our esca-

prisons have been hunted down by
blood hounds. They are kept at guard

THE NEW TRUcKEE DISTRICT.

A correspondent of the Enterprise, wri-
ting from this new mining District, about
eighty-five miles northeast of Gold Hill,
gives glowing account of the prospects
out there. He gives list Of forty-four
different mining companies which have
been organized, and have had claims re.
corded in the District, and upon many Of
them work is now being done in pur-
suance of the requirements Of the local
laws. The Truckee river is about twelve
miles from the mines, and wagon road
is to be constructed to it, as there are some
splendid mill sites on 1t. \ town site IS
also to be laid out, as it is believed large
settlement will spring up before another
year passes around. As yet, not much
rock has been taken out Of the different
lodges, which are said to spread over min
eral belt of about five miles square, the sin
dications' being sufficiently encouraging
Just to secure the claims and do the neces-
sary work to hold them. The great draw
back to prospecting and working the claims
Immediately is the want of water for the
use of laborers; but the Virginia and
Gold Hill Prospecting Company Is now
sinking well in the neighborhood, with a
good prospect Of getting good water. If
the ore is there, and We have seen some
specimens from there which gives US con-
6dence that rich mineral is "thar, or
tharabouts," water will be abundant in
the hills and mountains as soon as they
are bored with tunnels. Not drop Of
water on the surface could be obtained in
all Gold Hill before the mines were opened,
but now there is enough to support
population of five thousand. If gold and
silver is plenty in the new Truckee Dis
trict, water, grub, population, mills, and
everything else, will have an existence
there within year. (As we are the lucky
owner of two hundred feet in one of the
first locations made-Imperial Consoh-
dated-we shall keep lookout for our
future wealth in that direction.)
