An Incident 0ftbe War.

After the surrender, and while waiting for
their ssParoles,,, near Salisbury, N. c., a
group of engineer officers were talking over
the result of the war, when proposal was
made that each should draw pen and-ink
sketch expressive Of his views Of the 'col-
lapse
Captain Ansley, a young Englishman.
Capt Ferguson Of Smith county, Tennessee
and Captain Herman Of New Orleans,
each drew drew sketch Ansley drew a
table, on which was solitary candle, burned
nearly out. and over it was hand closing
around it like an extinguisher-t drawn
muscles indicating the power put forth to
strangle the weak, Pickering light.
Captain Ferguson drew sketch repre-
senting a Confederate and Yankee on OPP
/ posite sides Of table, upon which bottle
was seen, and each held in his uplifted hand
full bumper of peace. A negro in the
distance served to indicate the cause Of the
quarrel which they were 50 happily adjust
ing.
The sketch drawn oy Captain Herman,
was unanimously declared to have won the
laurel, aud we think it eminently worthy of
place among the archives of the Confeder-
acy. .f. .~..
It is entitled tMrs. Columbia and her
Daughter and represents an aged female,
dressed in stars and stripes, who with vixen
countenance and furious energy is ''subju-
eating" her daughter who is clad in the
Chinese and bare-footed, with
dishevelled hair is weeping as if her heart
was breaking. She wears, however, in the
midst of all her sorrow delicate and beau
tiful wreath upon her head, indicating though
heart broken, no dishonor was written there.
Over her trembling form, the old lady
fourishes her broom high in the air exclaim-
ing $50 you've been frollicking eh Now

| All who passed through the trials and suf-
ferings Of the war can enter into the feelings
of those brave men in that hour when they
tasted the bitter cup Of humiliation, and
gazed for the last time upon s'the Starry
Cross which they had followed through SO
many scenes Of danger and of death.
2 Those days are passed and gone those
who were camp-mates then will meet no
more until the grand ''Reveile," when all
shall appear in line for the last time but
memory will treasure those recollections,
and fondly recall those who were dear to us
in those days of trial. Of the three who
drew sketches referred to, Capt. Herman
is in New Orleans, Capt. Ferguson, is liv-
ing near Dixon Springs, in Smith county
Tennessee, and Capt. Ansley is, perhaps in
4 England, comparing the delights Of Monar-
~chy with the bliss of such freedom as Con-
federates enjoy in "the best government un-
