We are informed by prominent lawyer
of this city, that while sojourning in Amboy
last night, he passed pleasant hour in COM
pany with former rebel officer who was at.
tatched TO Stoncwall Jsckson's division Of the
Confederate army during the war, pnd who
related an interesting "Reminiscences Of the
death Of General Kearny, of which sad event
he was an eye witness. THE gallant Kearny,"
he said, received his death wound from a
private In my command, and when he fell
from mia horse, FASTENED, with many others,
TO the poin, where he lay, not supposing that
his wound was n mortal one. just as we
reached his body, however, his limbs gave
ono convulsive culver, and then all was over.
Seeing that he was Msjor-G General, word was
sent to headquarters to that effect and Gen.
crai jackson coming 10 the spot Immediately,
gave one glance at the dead officers features,
and exclaimed, Ny God boys, do you know
who You have killed? You have shot the
most gallant officer in the United States
army. This Is Phil. Kearny, who lost his
arm in the Mexican war He then volun-
tarily lifted his hat, every officer in the
group following his example, and for mo-
ment reverential silence was observed by all.
Subsequently, the body Of the dead soldier
was placed upon two boards and whom being
removed to headquarters, was followed By
Gen. Jackson, Gen. Ewell, and other Officers,
while rcgimental band preceded il, playing
. dead march" -Ncscdvk IN ~ Courier.

were aroused from their slumber by violent

one, false although long continued and per-
sistcnt. II was not false, however, for a
Waterman connected with the transit wharf

known. The kitchen Is a two story brick ad-
dition, standing at right angles with the Sec
ond street L, and 10 nearly concealed by the
over-towering walls Of the main building.
For this reason, and because Il caught on the

the place, however, without any difficulty,
and water being handy they we're soon play

was the work Of only few minutes to drown
the fire entirely out. This done, il was dis

John Ph~nix and JeGerson Davis.
When MIR. Davis WAS seoretarv ~ w.,

When Mr.. Davis was Secretary of War,
he issued circulars to all the army Of
hcers, asking of them specifications for
new uniform. PhOnix, who WAS an ex
cellent craftsman, set to work and pro.
duced design. He made no great
change in the uniform, but he proposed
revolutionizing the entire system Of mo-
dern tactics by an iron hook This hook
was to be attached to the seat of every
soldiers pants. It applied to every arm
OF the service, cavalry, infantry and ar
tlllery. He illustrated its use by a series
CT weii-executed designs. He quoted
high medical authority, proving its ad-
vantages In a sanitary point of view. The
neaVy knapsack, Le argued, induced
STOPPING position and very great con-
traction of the chest. But hung on a
hook by a strap connecting with the
shoulder. it would brace the body back
and expand the chest. The cavalry thus
were to be rendered more secure in their
seats, hooked to ring in the saddle. All
the commissioned officers were to carry
light twenty foot pole, with ring at-
tached to the end. This was to be used
during an engagement in drawing the
stragglers back into tho ranks. He il
lustrated terrific battle, the generals
and co!onels being thus occupied run
ning about hauling stragglers back to
the ranks In many other unheard of
ways did he expatiate on the value of his
hook. Mr.. Davis was enraged. His
dignity was wounded and the service in
suited. He instantly made out an order
directing Phoenix to be court martialcd
for contempt. Marcy was made aware
of Ph1nix's transaction, as we'll as the
cloud hanging over him.
He looked over tho plates. He saw q
regiment, their backs toward him, drawn
mp in line, knapsacks, blankets, hams
and all manner of camp equipage, pend
ing from each soldier. Marcy broke
down. Said he to Davis: Its no use
to court martial this man. The matter
will be made public; the laugh will settle
entirely on lis, and besides, q man who
has the inventive ingenuity here dis
p'ayed, as we'll as this faculty of design.

to the service to be triflcd with" John

does not appear, however, that they
