An Extraordinary Occurrence

A correspondent of the Hartford
Times tells a story of a volunteer il
one of the Connecticut regiments, who
in the advance Of the grand army o.
the Potomac, in 1863, was taken sick
died and was buried, the correspond
ent performing the last sad rites over
the remains of his dead comrade. A
Yolley was fired over the grave and the
soldier was left TO his long sleep. The
time passed; the var was ended; the
correspondent was honorably discharg
ed, and he had forgotten in the rush Of
events, his cQnrads eleeping by the
banks Of the Rapidan, when the other
day, in Hartford, who should appear
before him but the same dead soldier.
1t IS not strange that he felt a curious
sensation come over him; that he look
ed at the figure before him without
speaking; that he stepped aside when
the other advanced 20 him with out
stretched hand The denoumeat u
thus given;
"Old chum, don't you know me?'
Said ], Yes dol But what in the
name Of God are you doing here2 I
helped to tary you once, in Virginia.
81 know that some n buried me,
and l always thought that you was one
of them, IS you were always so kind to
mel But you see now" said he, offer
ing his hand to me, that l am flesh
and blood
shook hands with him, and he told
me that he was in a trance when we
buried him, and that he was digging his
cay ont, and had got his head out, when
the rebels came along and assisted him.
They then sent him 10 Libby Prison,
where they kept him in durance for a
year. They then sent him to Georgia,
where be remained till the war was
ended, when he was released.

pie of the North, when we state that
| notwithstanding Mr.. Bryan is a native
! of Charleston, yet from the opening tc

| been an u%nWavering supporter of the
| Union, the friend and associate of the
lamented patriot, Pettigru, and pOliti

Henry Clay, whose personal friendship
he long enjoyed
Judge BRYAN is descended from 8
| Pennsylvania family, many of whom
vet reside in this city and Pittsburg
His grandfather, George Bryan, Judge
Of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
whose remains now lie in the burying
ground on Arch street above Fifth, was
a gentleman OF eminence, and q lead
ing man in the early history of cur
| State. Prior to the revolution, he was
q representative to the General Assem-
bly, of this State, and a member of the
Congress which met in the cityof New
York in 1905, to demonstrate against
the stamp act and other arbi-
trary measures of the British Parlia-
ment. He was then elected a mem
Der of the supreme executive council,
and at the death of Mr.. Wharton, be-
came the executive head of the gov
eminent Of Pennsylvania In 1874, he
was made Judge of the Supreme Court
of the State, which Office he held until
his death. He was also one OF the
Council of Censors, charged to take
care that the laws Of the State as en-
acted were duly and faithfully enfor-
ced. In March, 1870, Judge Bryan pre-
pared the "Act for the gradual aboli~
ton of slavery in this State" which
provided that all negroes and mulat
toes held TO servitude born within the
State after March 1, 1880, should be
free ct the age Of u.

pointment and confirmation we have
obtained 3 gentleman and officer whose

or favor, having the Federal Constitu-
ton and laws, u~np0ilatod by political

The Right Way is a neat little
weekly published by Major George L
Stearns, of Mass, one of the solid
men" Of the "Old Bay State. 1t is
ably conducted, but unyielding in its
radicslism. Major Stearns is q of the
few radicals that are entitled TO respect.
lie Is honest in his opinions, and will
ing to make sacrifices for them. He
spent considerable time in this city, in
1864, engaged in the work of organic.
ing colored troops, and gave out his
money freely. We have heard, indeed,
that ne footed the bills Of his recruit
ing office, and did not call upon the
Government to refund. This showed
at least that he was willing TO blead in
behalf Of his opinions, and exhibited
his sincerity in the strongest light He
publishes and circulates "The Right
Way" gratuitously, for the purpose OF
promoting his views respecting the ne
gro and the duties Of the government
TO the negro race. He takes extreme
radical ground, and strikes boldly. We
had hoped that his experience in Ten
nessee would cause him to advocate
the admission of her members elect to
sests in Congress. But, he does not do
this. Once & friend Of President John
son, he now classes him with Benedict
Arnold Once a friend to Tennessee,
he demonstrates against the admission
Of her members, even upon the terms
of the Central Directory, because, he
alleges, that would be admitting the
wooden horse into the radical Troy, a
mistake which would end in disaster.

The Battle of Five Forks--G leneral
Warren's Defense.

Ndrren'S Defense.
Gen. Warren has published 3 pam.
phlet containing an able and pretty
| comprehensive statement of his side Of
the case in the matter of the Jattle OF
Five Forks, which he has fort lied by
several letters from, officers " no were
Immediately cognizant Of the facts in
dispute.
He claims in reply to Gen. Sheridan's
imputation that but for his failure to
move according 10 Gen. Graz ats expec-
tations, there would have been little
J chance of the escape of the enemy's
infantry; that his instruct ons were re-
| ceived entirely from Gen. Meade; that
the enemy held all the roa DIS necessary
for his escape, and Withdrew from Gen.
Sheridan's front early in the night,
when a broken bridge and a food in
! Gravely Run prevented Warren from
reaching Sheridan until.after daybreak.
He says that the tenor of Gen. Meade's
order was, not to prevent the enemy's
escape, but to succor Gen. Sheridan.
He claims that his own dispatches
show that it was his own suggestion to
intercept the enemy in case he kept in
Sheridan's front
The second imputatiOn against Gen.
Warren in Gen. Sheridan's report was a
far graVer one, and impugned his sol
dierly character in a vital point. Sher-
idan says that Warren's acts and man
ner gave him the impression that he
wanted the sun to go DIVA before
the dispositions for attack could be
completed. In reply to this Warren
publishes letters from each of his three
division commanders, and from Gen.
Bankhead, who carried the orders to
them to move. These letters certainly
vindicate General Warren go far as
they 60.
The third imputation is hat General
Warren did not inspirit his wavering
troops by rallying them personally. He
replies that Gen. Sheridan had no
knowledge of the part of Warren's
lines that suffered so severely, and that
there wa no part Of his command that
did not witness his exertions at one
time or another-his horse being fatally
shot under him close to the enemy's
works. We do not attempt to pro-
nounce any judgment upon the wis,
dom or justice of Gen. Sheridan's ac-
ton in the removal Of Gen. Warren,
but we think that the latter has sue
ceeded in clearing away from his mill
tary record whatever temporary blem-
ish may have been caused by the cir
cumstance of his removal in the field.
