EXPLOSION OF A LETTER Box
The London papers mention a singu-
lar explosion which occurred in an
iron-pillar letter box, sholt time
ago. A man, in passing one OF these
boxes, stopped to light fuse on the
top of the box, and directly tremen-
dout explosion took place. The box
was total wreck in an instant, the
front plate blown out, the smaller
plate shiyered, and the interior OF the
fittings rendered useless. Singularly
enough, although there were II let
tiers at the bottom of the box, not
one of them sustained the least inju-
ry. The cause of the accident is cas-
lily accounted for. A gas pipe is
placed under the box, il leaked, and
the box was filled with gas. When
the man lighted his fuzce on the top
of the box the gas ignited and the
box was partially destroyed.

ORIGINAL STORY.
Written for the Jeffersonian.
CAPTAIN DIS ESCAPE.
An Incident Of the Rebellion.
BY A. r.

DURING the terrible battle of Pitts
burg Landing, Capt. J. D., OF the
Seventy-th:rd Ohio Regiment, became
separated from his Company, with a
few others, who, seeing themselves
likely 10 be taken prisoners by the
rebels, scattered in different direc
tons in order to elnde their pursuers
Capt. D. ran alone, and was ma
king good time, when On nearing a
kind of morass, he heard voice call
ing for help. He looked, and discov-
cred fellow soldier sticking in the
mud up TO his hips. The man said ::
"Uncle Jimmy, for Gods sake help
me out"
Certainly, I wilI," said the Captain,
and taking the fellow by the hand,
with difficulty drew him out, and rec
ognized in him former unfriendly
rival. He was also wounded, and
unable to run. So Capt. D. shoul-
dered him up, and carried him to a
house, perhaps half mile distant,
while under the fire of his rebel pur-
suers. Leaving his helpless burden
to the care of the inmates Of the
house, the Captain again started for
his retreating regiment, but soon
found himself cut off by rebels, who
were thick in the strip of woods that
he had reached. They called to him
to halt, but the Captain had often ex-
pressed his determination not to be
taken q prisoner in rebel hands, and
did not at first heed the summons :;
but as they approached him quite
near, he turned and drew his revolver.
just then, as he was slowly retreating
backwards, his foot caught in some
thing, and falling with his back across
fallen sapling, he was unable TO rise,
from the injury he received. To use
his own words, his spine "cracked
like a gun-cap." The rebs came at
him with fixed bayonets, saying:
"Yank, will you surrender 2"
81 am in your power" said he,
with q mental reservation as to sur
render; for it will be seen that our
hero had pluck. The rebs seized and
disarmed him, taking his sword and
revolver. Two of them then started
with him toward the rebel prison rem
devious, but his back was SO painful
that he could scarcely walk. He told
them he could not march.
"Then, d -you,' said they, "you
know the terms; either march, or
we'uns won't bother with ye much.'
They continued to abuse and threa
ten him until his indignation knew
no bounds. They gave significant
glances at each other, and repeated
that they "guessed they wouldn't
bother much with him." He conclu-
ded that they intended to kill him.
They took him along little ravine,
through which ran q little brook.
"Say, Yank, amt ye dry 2" said
one of them.
The Captain, suspecting they meant
him no kindness, said he was not.
swell, / am," said one, and set his
gun against tree, on the opposite
side of the brook, while he retained
the Captains sword and revolver on
his person. Then, while the other
stood with his gun at "Order arms"
guarding the Captain, the first knelt
at the brook to drink. The Captain
had not hitherto seen the slightest
