Incident OF the war.

From the last letter of /" Russell" In
the Boston Tratter, we make the follow
ing extract:
Many Of the boys Of the Fifly.secon1
Massachusetts, Regiment who were with
Weiizcls brigade, when the charge was
made on tho works at Port Hudson, will
remember well the gallant defense which
three or four men made there, II
was expected this brigade would take pnd
hold until Iaine's division could come up
One Of those men, so native Of Port
Hudson, told us. resided on a plantation
about nine miles from The landins, near II
farm now owned by Mood Brothers, from
Massachusetts. None of the men who
saw him with his ..inusket clubbed,e that
day, will doubt his being brave man.

cago,"
This short letter, (Which was pristed in
tie Louisiana papers at the time) was
called TO mind one day Mt Camp Douglas,
when ! G WIS putting On the stockings,
and he resolved, for the fun of it, to
write to her and rcll her the history of the
pair Of socks. This he did, aud soon
after received call at his quarters from
Miss Gee aud her father. lie did not see
no hear from her afterward, until .lc was
.ain N the Southern army and stationed
at Harper's serry- There the company
in which he was a Lieutenant captured u
uad of c velry, and among the number
was the only brother Of Miss Lizzie V.
Geo. Every kadness which could be
done for youry Gee by his ncw acluaint-
zee, and when. shortly after, Gee was
parolcd, he was the sworn friend Of the
Confederate I.crtenant. When the wa
closed they had some CORES ,oDdence, and
the Confederate so!licr was invited up to
Chicago to end the wedding of young
Gees sister. When he got there, much
to his su prise, the ex- Confcdcra'c found
that Gee had two sisters, and that the one
q at to be married was not the one he
had seen. Tie rest Of tic story is told
in twinkling. He married tho sister
that knit the stockings. For the details
of the litter pat Of this romance, see
"cvery body's experience" such as signs.
FACILITATING hearts, a little moonlight, and
silly resolves "to die or win hes," The
matters which concern lovers were not
told to circulate. But the story itself we
feel satisfied is true one, as the address of
the firm in Chicago, Of which the BRIDE
groom is a member, lies before US i'll our
diary rs we write.

A Sucker on the +. F.'s OF Old Vir-

An Illinois Sucker took great dislike TO

low-passengcr with him on one Of the
Mississippi steamboats,. | was on the
boat, aud saw the whole Of tho affair.
The Nirginian was continually combing
his hair, brushing his clothes, or busting
his boots-to all Of which movements
the Sucker took exceptions as being what
he termed, "a leetlc too darned nice, by

"Whar might you be from ranger 2"

swcrcd the gent.
"Frcm old Virginia, suppose?' says
the Sucker.
"Ycs sir. old Virginia was the re-
ply.
! You air poorly high up in the pic
lures thar, supposed"
II don't know what you mean by that
remark, sir."
"Oh, nuthin," says the Sucker, '.but
that you are desp'ra,c rich, and hey ben
brought up right nice"
"If the information will crafty you, in
any way" says the gent, pa,rouizingly,
smoothing down his hair, II belong to

the Sucker, "bat ! never seed one Of the

We need not add that the Sucker rolled
