Incidents OF the Wharf.-The Last
Eight ofthe War FOubht by Har-
rison's Brigade of Cavalry.
Fromthe Louisville Courier.l
Bcntonvil.c, the last pitched genera!
cngagoneat between Joe Johnston and
Sherman had been fought, Lee had sur
rendered, and we lay three miles from
Raleigh. in obedience to an order from
Wheeler to move forward to that point,
feed aud rest
'.Balny sleep, tired natures sweet
rostorcrr.' None but a soldier can
know how well we were enjoying our
S~ieSka-our first cooked meal and regu-
lar rest out Of the saddle in many days
But it was destined to be short. Horses
unsaddIed, blankets spread to warm

rare occasions when exhausted man
and brute together slcep--snch was the
scene Suddenly broken in upon BY the
clash of arms, Buffers division Of
Hampton's Virginia cavalry, whose
jealousy or envy we had strangely pro
vokcA, had passed by as we slept, their
rear guard and all, without giving the
customary information chat We were
uncovered to the. approach Of the enc

The enemy had been pressing Johnston
who was forcc-marching forGreensboro
vigorously for several days, and coming
suddenly upon our brigade thus, it
would seem at their mercy, with wild
yoIls, sabres cleaning above heads,
they rushed upon us. The eleventh
Texas, being from the order in which
we we're campcd nearest to the foe, rose
pistol in hand and met them on foot.
The enemy had made Il terrible mistake.
He had charged with drawn sahres, n
thing which the Texans always laughed
at. Now, the rangers mounted i'll less
time than it takes to tell it, with their
uncrring" navy SIX were at work upon
the head of their column, and, though
rainforcemcnts blued the whole back

begun and only ended when the enemy
checked further pursuit by a strongly
formed liDc behind a fence, and the

The CHOLERA IN New YoRK.-The ep-
idemic of cholera in New York is steadily
increasing as the season advances, though
! it does not as yet prevail as apestilence.
THUS farsit has obeyed the laws of cpl
demic contagious closely. From the foul
dens of the tenant house and cellar popu-
lation it has gone by natural law to the
almshouses and prisons, and to the de-
pots for troops on the islands near New
York. From these latter depots it has
been carried on army transports to Tybee
Island and to Galveston, and recognizing
the portable character of the disease the
Secretary of War has forbidden the re-
moyal of troops from any Of the islands
about New York, and has placed them
all under rigid quarantine The Tribune
of Saturday says:
1--WE regret to state that the cholera
does not diminish. but, on the contrary,
has very materially increased during the
past week. The total number of deaths
in the city, including the public inStitu-
tions, for the week ending to-day will
not I've known before Monday, but one
hundred and twenty had occurred up to
5P. M., yesterday. The vlrulencc OF the
disease can only be known by compa-
ring the number who have died with the
number who have been attacked, and no
accurate or trustworthy returns of the
latter class have yet been made. Day be-
fore yesterday there were seventeen
deaths and seventeen admissions into the
cholera ward Of the hospital on Wards
Island. Three persons had been dis
charged and forty-one remained under
treatment. On B!ackvell's Island, where
the disease has been particularly malig
nan:, the best account that can be given
from the rather incohercnt reports thus
far rendered, shows fifty deaths
on. of cighty-two cases, which is very
large mortality"

Mysterious Hospital PATIeNT.-Our
exchanges, by answering CIR query, may
hiring joy TO some fvnd heart, that
,Douros as dead aH unfortunate man
3 whom wo saw At the hospital in this
place on yesterday. So sad picture as
his anxious face presents it has not often
been oar lot 10 look upon. No acc
whatever can be gathered Of himehere.
When the United States forces took pos
session Of Tallahassee they found this
man in the (then) Confederate hospital.
and he has not been heard TO speak since.
His face ever wears an expression oGmgt
anxious care The moment any one
enters his room he turns with an implo-
ring glance, intensified By an expression
of fear Oh! that look can never be for
gotten-so full ofpeti.ion, dread and woe
He wrings his hands necessarily, and
seems just uttering some earnest1equest,
but never speaks. Repeated efforts have
been made to induce him to write. But
he takes the pen mechanically, as he
does everything else, and gazes up into
your face with that same earnest look of
underlined supplication and dread.
When he is left alone with his food he
eats heartily, and until recently his gene
raj health has been good. He is now
little emaciated. Occasionally he has
been known to creep stealthily to his
window, and open it cautiously. But in
doing so be seemed to dread some
catastrophe.
We have made considerable inquiry
about him in the city, and can gather no
clue as to the exact time when he was
was brought to Tallahassee, or from
where. One account supposes that he
was brought up here month or two be-
fore the surrender from the hospital in
Monticello. Another says that some
Confederate soldier, who has seen him
here, remembers that he saw him in the
Natural Bridge fght-that he was then
wearing Majors star, and that he fought
bragely. He supPc>es that the explo-
sion of a shell near his head paralyzcd
his speech and deprived him partially Of
reason.
1t is strange shat he should have re-
majned here so long without being idcn-
ti6ed. He is o man Of commanding fig
0re, we should think six feet one or two
inchesin height, if strong and robust
would weigh about 163 pounds, seems 10
be betwcen 35 and 20 years Of age, has a
prominent forehead, dark hair, large
gray eye, and rather prominent nose.
He is as docilc as E child, obeying me-
chanicaliy every conmand-and with
such an expression as would move a
haart Of stone -Yallahassee Sentinel.

The Confederate Flag.

Take that banner down, 'tis weary,
Round its staff tits dropping dreary,
Furl it, hide it, let it rest
For there's not man TO wave It,
For there's not a soul to lave 1t
In the blood that heroes gave 1t.
Furl it, hide it, let it rest
Take that banner down, 'tiS tattered;
Broken is its staff, and shattered,
And the valiant hearts are scattered
Over whom it foated high.
Oh! IT'S hard for us to fold it
Hard TO think there's none to hold it.
Hard that those. who once unrolled it,
Now must furl it with sigh.
Furl that banner, furl itSadly;
Once six millions hailed it gladly,
And ten thousand, wildly, madIy,
Swore it should for ever wave
EUOre that fOeman'S sword should never
Hearts like theirs cntwined 6isseyer,
And that flag should float forever
Der their freedom or their grave ]
Turl il, for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly claSped it,
Cull ard dead are lying now;
And that banncr-it is trailing,
While around i, sounds the wailing
OF is people in their woe;
For, though conquered, they adore 1t,
Love The cold, dead hands that bore il,
And weep for those who fell before il.
OhI how wildly they dcplore ic,
Now to furi and fold il SO.
Fcrl that banner, true It's CORY.
But 'tis wreathed around with glory,
And Twill live in song and story
Though its folds are in the dust;
For lis fame, on brightest pages
Sung by poets, penned by Sages--
Sbal! 90 sounding down TO ages,
Furl its folds though now We must.
TuE1 that bannar-sof'ly, slowly;
FnvI il gently, it is holy,
Eor it dr0Ops above tic dead.
Touch it not, unfUrl it. never.
Let it droop there, fQrIed forever.
For its peoples hopes are fed.
