DREAM REMARKABLY FULFILLED,-Rev.
l. W. Lewis, in his "reminiscences Of
the War" now being published in the
Texas Christian Advocate, relates the an
nexed remarkable instance as literally
true. The battle referred to was that of
Prairie Grove, in North invest Arkansas,
fought December It'll, 1862: .,l ~
A curious fulGllment of a dream occur
ed at this battle, under my own eye. a
man by the name Of Joe Williams had
told dream to many Of his fellow-sol-
diers, some of whom had related it to me,
months previous to the occurrence, which
lnow relate.
He dreamed that we crossed river,
marched over mountain, and camped
near a church located in a wood, near
which terrible battle ensued, and in a
charge, Just as we crossed the ravine, he
was shot in the breast. On the ever
emorablc It'll of December, '62, as we
moved at double-qnick to take our place
in the line of battle, then already hotly
engaged, we passed Prairie Grove church,

land Presbytcrians. was riding on the
flank of the command, and opposite to
Williams, as WI came in view Of the
house.
"This is the church, Colonel, ! saw in
my Dreams" said he made no reply,
and never thought Of the matter again
until in the evening-we had broken the
enemys line, and were in full pursuit,
when we came upon dry ravinc inthe
wood, and Williams said "Just on the
other side of the hollow l was shot in my
dream, and i will stick my hat under my
shirt" Suiting the. action to the word
as he ran along, he doubled il up and
crammed it in his bosom--sc scarcely had
he adjusted 1t before minnie ball knock.

his head, and shouted, I'm ell right
The ball had gone through four thick

bis heart, and dropped into his shoe,'-

AaOUr %WHARFAGE.

Unless something lie shortly done in
mitigation Of the severe ordinance
whereby steamboats, are heavily mulcted
in landing tithes, we are likely to "get
the go.by" from every respectable craft
that plies the Mississippi between New
Orleans and up-river ports. We heard
of several cases of steamboats, refusing
to take freight for this point on account
of the heavy wharfage charges; and
with the few thatdo, we learn it has be-
come a common practice to "stiek their
noses" in-shore and Ego ahead on the
outside wheel TO keep her up to the
bank" while freight and passengers are
being landed in that way ~obviating the
payment of any, even the smallest
amount, OF wharfage. 1t seems that
custom, having the force of law, forbids
any wharfage charges unless the "line"
is made fast. Here is something for u
city Solons to think CT.
