Life In TeXHs.

The revolver and bowie knife are siill
the srbilers of lrr1ng disputes in The
"I.one Star State" A correspondent Of
The Memphis Post, writing from Iious-
ton, under date of the l6lh, gives the fol-
lowing sketch Of life in that delectsble To-
caliiy
We had a regular Texas street fight TO-
day. Two men were waiting an hour or
so at a hotel for ono man. When he
came ouI one Of the Two pulled a DrTrin.
ger, fred and missed ; then drew six.
shooter and empucd every barrel at the
advancing man, who was shot in four
places, and who ihen, in spite of wounds,
pulled bowie.knife and made Two "inser-
lions" in the Iefl breast Of Brown, the
commencer Of the row, whose compsn-
ion then pulled revolver and absolutely
broke TIE skull Of the bowie-knife msn
and laid him low. Brown bTealhed his
last in about fifteen minutes. Pruiu, the
other man. fingered for three days. The
fuss was about pretty milIIner, named
Sallie ST. Clair, who by the by, nursed
Pruill until his death.
From Up the country, we have news
OF "beaullful little fghT-two men on
a side, ell armed (as is usual in Texas'}
with the inevitable "six-shooIer. They
amused themselves in playful manner un-
Ill two were instantly killed, one mortal
ly wounded and the olher-a man nearly
eighty years old-was "bored" with
three bullets only. Bu! il was "besuIl-
ful lrlle fight though.

After the battle OF Sharpsburg,and when
the last of Gen. Lees army had recrossed
the Potomac q, ShepheTdsiowD. large
body of The enemy advanced and attack.
ed our rear division, when fierce though
short and bloody conflict occurred. The
engagement was very near the lille vii
lsge, and some Of The stray sho! and shell
passed through and over II. In the midst
OF the excitement and enthusiasm that pre-
vailed among the ciHzeG', Tor reports
came that We were driving them, two
young ladies', who names am not at LID
erty TO give, determined in spite OF the
danger, 10 proceed short distance down
lie uver and witness lhe engagement
from lie flank OF the con,endng forces.
They went. and led on by the interest OF
the occasion, advanced nearer and nearer
until they were within a few hundred pa.
ces Of the scene OF action, and within
vsw Of the Combatanis. While standing
upon little hiIlock contemplating with
superb awe and anxiety the bloody scene,
and vainly endeavoring by voice and ges-
lure 10 encourage our gallant troops as
they steadily and surely pressed lheir op-
ponenIs beiorme them, as occasionally
they could be seen AMID the dUsI and
smoke OF battle. their attention was sud-
denly arrested by movement al the foot
OF the lille knoll on which they were
standing. Imagine their surprise and
fright al finding themselves within few
rods of company OF Federal sodiers.
What were they to do OF course the
first impulse was flight, but The Yankees
were between them and home. Their
retrea, was cut of, and 10 advance down
the river would have been 10 expose
themselves to q most terrible fTo OF mus
kerry. A momen, decided. The elder
advancing with all the courage she could
summon, displaying at The ssme time a
small pocket pistol she held in her hand,
demanding in finn tone-"Hali sur
render or you die !" "Ho!t," cried The
sergeant in command, ~ hat The thunder
does this mean Surrender 10 whom,
and who will kill US you p "Fbrow
down your arms at once and surrender 10
me, or you will every one bs killed." con-
,inued the lady. "By Ned, boys, This
looks mighty suspicious | guess we'd
better nolrsk it, there are stronger arms
than those about here, so let's give up
down with your arms Now, mss,
where shall we 20 :" The latter part OF
this speech was uttered in tones Of some
alarm and anxiety. Come along and |
will show you where to go" The young
heroine had now completely gained her
composure, and seit~possession, if ever
che had los, it. A very few PAGES brought
them in sight Of a squad of patriots NOV
ing al a rapid pace, which lho other young
lady, with the same remarkable presence
of mind, ha ran ard brought TO her COM
panons relief, from The neIghboring town,
dutiu her psrley with the soldiers. II |
remember Alright the company numbered
twenty-seven men, who,wben they found
their rboPs were defeated, were trying
to make their way in body TO their own
side OF the river.

THE LONELY GRAVE.
BT MRS. c. A, gALL.

In sheltered nook on Potomacs shore,
Where the earth is darkened with Southern
gore,
sparEles and bubbles little spring,
Which never ceases its lay 10 sing
O'er lonely grave.
'Tis spot that was made for peace and rest
Where nature in richest robes is drest,
Where the birds all fearlessly build their nests,
And the weeping willows wave.
Many wounded Southern brave
Has dragged himself here his brow to lave
And 10 drink of the waters clear and bright,
Which flashed and cleaned in the moons soft
light,
Unheeding his anguished moan.
And the carpet of green around it spread,
Has pillowed full many weary head;
And many soul from that grassy bed
Has PASSED 10 the dark unknown.
Yet only one hillock, mossy and green,
By that Joyous, dancing spring ia seen,
Where the signing winds wake mourniul wall
And the riDg-dove means through the evening
gale,
And the frs their tall heads rear,
or the countless hosts who in battle fell,
Or of those whose death-hour none can tell
Whose souls passed out from this shaded dell,
But one lies buried here.
And who was he brave young boy,
OF his southern home the pride and joy
The pet and darling Of every heart,
Who in his bright life had shared part,
And but seventeen summers old.
Oh what 4 terrible grief was theirs,
AS back in their soul, they crushed their fears,
And sent him forth with prayers and tears,
From the parental fold.
Precious was the boy to all,
They gave him up to his counlrys call
Honor to him was dearer than life,
And he painted to enter the field Of strife,
And to shine on the roll Of fame.
With a crown Of blessing upon his head,
He to the field Of glory sped,
The blood Of lis pure young heart TO shed,
And TO win himself a name.
