AECJT ARMY HORSES.

A contributor to the Independent
writes: &" | used to admire the horses in
the army. Well-traincd cavalry horses
would always understand the buglc, and
never make mistakes. The men were
sometimes confused, and would rein the
horses the wrong way. have seen
horses rear straight up rather than obey
the rein against the bugic. Turn the
horses loose without riders, and at the
sound of the bugle they would form
themselves into line and 90 through
their parade. At the battle of Corinth
| watched the artillery horses. They
came in on swift run, drawing thir-
ty-two FOUNDER and on the instant
the signal was given, they wheeled, the
piece was unlimbered in a moment, and
then at another signal, they wefs away
again on rnn. The gun was in good
position and did good execution. Bnt
the rebels ilanked US, and we were COM
PEELED to leave the gun and fall back
lightly rods. There we reformed in
good order, and with fixed bavonets
charged back upon the rebels. They
were in disorder and fed. We took
the gun again; but knowing that we
could not long hold the ground, our
object was to bring off the gun. So
we opened right and left and the bugle
sounded for the horses. They came
dashing up again on the run till they
reached the gun; they wheeled, waited
a moment TO be hitched, and then
whirled it away in no time and saved
it. l stood there, though the bullets
were whizzing around me, and looked
in perfect admiration at those horses.
Had they no riders to guide them? ?
Yes, but they obeyed the bugle.
Their riders could not control them.

BY A PRISONER.

At last the glad release came to us.
Sherman had started on his "marah
to the sea-" The rebels were perfect
ly ignorant of his intentions. They
feared he would come and recapture
us. So as an act characteristic to them
.they further reduced our rations, Civ
ing us but little more than pint of
coarse corn meal, with a pinch of salt
nothing more. Doyou say men could
not live on that? Well, we did live.
Perhaps hope kept us alive. We
knew as much of Sherman as the rcb-
els did, and twas plainly seen that the
days of the confederacy were drawing
near to a close-an ignominious close,
disgraceful to all who were in it.
On the 26th of Nov. the first thous
and were ordered to be ready to move
on the morrow. They went outside,
when the sick were taken on the cars
and the rest sent back. This looked
like exchange, but we had been de-
ceived so many times, our faith was
weak, and we thought we were only
to be taken out of Sherman's reach, to
another prison. In a day or two the
sick who had been taken away were
sent back in. They said they had
started for Savannah, but found the
railroad had been cut by our men.
This was good news, for we thought
now we would be released by ex-
change, or else by recapture. At last
on the 7th Of Dec, the sick of five
thousands" were taken out and sent
away. The ninth thousand, to which
| belonged, received orders to be ready
on the next day; oh, how we dreamed
of home that night. How many hopes
and fears alternated in our hearts. I
could hardly believe ! was to be talk
en-, as I was not sick at all, though
considerably reduced in flesh. Morn

hundreds. A certain number were to

Soon after taking his seat in the
Senate, a fire-eating Southcrner, in
debate, grossly assailed Free State
Senator. As noalluson was made to
him or his State, Wade sat still, but
when the Senate adjourned, he said
openly fever a southern Senator made
such IN attact on him or Ohio,
while he sat on that floor, he would
brand him as a liar. This coming to
the ears of the southern men, Sena-
tor took occasion to pointedIy speak,
few days aftcrward, of Ohio and her
people as negro thieves. Instantly
Mr.. Wade sprang to his feet and pro-
nounced the Senator a liar. The
southern Senators were astounded and
gathered around their champion, while
the Northern men grouped about
Wade. a feuler was put out from the
southern side looking to retraction,
but Mr.. Wade retorted in his peculiar
style, and demanded an apology for
the insult offered him and the people
he represented. The matter thus closed
and fight was looked upon as certain.
The next day gentleman called on
the Senator from Ohio, and asked the
usual question touching the acknowl-
edgment of the code:
81 am here" he responded, Gin
double capacity. l represent the
State of Ohio, and / Represent Ben.
Wade. As Senator, Pm opposed to
dueling. As Ben. Wade L recognize

"My friend feels agrieved," said the
gentleman, "at what you said in the
Senate yesterday, and will ask for an
apology or satisfaction"
81 was somewhat embarrassed"
continued Senator Wade, "by my po-
sition yesterdy, as I have some respect
for the Chamber. / now take this OPP
portunity to say what / then thought;
and you will if you please repeat it.
Your friend is a foui-mouthed old
blackguard."
Certainly Senator Wade, YOU do
not wish me to convey such message
as that ?"
