The conflict for the possession of Peters
burg was raging, the undersigned had
the misfortune TO be shot down between
the lines. near battery Eve. The fire
from both sides swept the ground where
l lay, the works not being over one
hundred yards apart. So terrible was
this fire. that wounded men in some cas-
es received as many as forty bullets in
their bodies after falling. The prospect
OF such death was agonizing. / ap-
pealed to the Confederates near whose
works | fell, to bring me into their
trenches, but my appeals were in vain,
until young staff officer--an aid to some
General on the lines-aided by two noble
privates, at the eminent risk of their
lives. leaped their breastworks. and
amidst terrific FIRE brought me into
their lines. The Lieutenant and one
private escaped unhurt; but the other
Alabamian fell victim 10 his daring
In the heat of battle could only find
from my captors that the young officer
was Lieat. Jones Of General Gordon 8
staff. and my informant thought he was
from Alabama.
Having beard of your paper. and it
being published at the capital Of the
State, has led me 10 ask you to insert
this in your paper. If be is among tie

In com munities. as in individuals, there
exist physique and morale" muscle and
brain. We delight to welcome both
home. The dispatch which announced
the rehabilitation of The Hon. Pierre
Soule, probably gave more pleasure TO
greater number of our iellow-c citizens
than any act Of grace our noble President
done. 1t was well done. MFR. Soule
long stemmed the current which swept
this State into disastrous struggle, but
finding his voice unheeded, and bis efforts
unavailing. he cast bis lot with the State
of his adoption. Too prominent to be
overlooked, Gen. Butler seized his person
and sent him to Northern prison. Since
that time. Mr.. Soule has been an exile
from bis home. His princely mansion has
been sold. and sold 10 a QuaItermasler of
the Freedmen's Bureau; and be now re-
turns to commence his life anew. and de.
vote to practical uses that intellect which
so often made Louisiana glorious in the
Federal Senate, and shone so brightly

reports cotton still arriving very freely.
The Baton Rouge Gazette, Of the 3lst
has the following:
We take pleasure in noticing the re
turn of General Joseph Bernard and his
son. who reached here on Saturday from
Polk county, Texas, where for some time
past they have been engaged in their ac-
customed vocation of planting. They
came overland. and brought with them
a number Of mules and OK teams, togeth-
er with the most Of their hands. who were
unwilling to be left behind. but anxious
to get back TO the old homestead in this
parish.
We regret to hear that Gen. Bernard
has been quite i'll. since his return. His
son. whom we met on Sunday, is looking
in fine health.
The Baton Rouge Advocate, of the
30th ult., says:
We notice many small caravans from
the back country, accompanied by dogs.
sheep, horses, cattle, and no end of little
ones. crossing the river river at this point.
westward bound. They are hunting
better country than this TO live in. but
from all accounts Texas is not that better
land by long odds.

A FORTY-THIEvEs SENSATION.
A Strange Story About Cavernous
Graveyards and Burrowiug Burg
lars.

The New York World has a dispatch
from Nashville, dated Goth, which gives.
the following startling information
A startling discovery has been made
in this city within the last few days. A
large number of thieves have been de.
predating around the city for some time
past, and all efforts to catch them have
been unavailing until lately. Ii has been
ascertained that there are FIVE different
caves under the city, which are occupied
by thieves, burglars and counterfeiters.
The McNaly vault, in the graveyard, has
been put under guard. and men set 10
work TO effect an entrance into the cave,
AS fast as the earth is removed, fresh
earth is thrown up from the inside Of the
vault. This is the same cave that MUIR.
rell and his gang occupied when engag-
ed in running off negroes and horses.
The affair has been kept secret. but leak
ed out in spite of the military.
A year ago. it was reported that the
McNary tomb was used as a place to
store plunder and it is commonly report
ed that lake, covering FIVE acres and
very deep. is directly under the city.
One man swears to having thoroughly
explored the entire cavern from one end
to the other. A guard has been station.
ed over the Ackten and Harden tombs.
The locksmilh gives bis opinion that the
lock on the McNary tomb has been used
recently. The entrance to the cavern is
at the foot Of Summer street. The mill.
tary are determined to find out the
outlet Of the cave. The entrance looks
like a 6ssure in the rock.
The discovery originated from the fact
that quite number OF murders have been
committed in the immediate vicinity,
which led to an investigation. disclosing
the above fadts.

MAJ. GEN ]. G. BREcKINRIDGE We

the fact? lfit is, is not John G. Breck-

F If Mr.. Breckenridge is not pardoned,
and he wishes to be, we hope he will be.
No charge. so far as we can learn, lies
against him that does not lie equally
against all who were in rebellion. No
one has ever accused him Of inhumanity
TO prisoners or Of anything inconsistent
with the most kuighty courtesy and chiv-
alrv. -
To pardon such offenders as our Gov
eminent has pardoned, and yet to keep
Mr. Breckinridge 10 exile. IL he is willing
to come under the prescribed obligations,
is an unjust and unreasonable discrimin-
alton sccor ding to our opinion. Wedo not
know what Mr.. B. will or will not swear
or promise. but we will lay our life that

And none can doubt that, as loyal cit.
