10 avoid the collision, was severely cut in the
arm and face. The pony, however, was game,
ana, although very lame, seized the roam BY
the caeek, lacerating it in fearful manner.
AT the seventh encounter the horses came
!ogetner with fearful shock, the pony being
thrown, railing upon. his rider, but both i'm
medlately regained themselves. Watrous's
horse was fast bleeding to death from the stab
in the neck, and Watrous himself could scarce
keep his seat from the wound in the the thigh.
bigger succeeded in again sticking Watrous
IN M lhe thigh, and was struck in return in the
side; Several blows were intercbanged aud
eVaded, or fell odly npon the horses.

from the cuts in the face, back and arms bnt

on Watrous with the fury of fiend, and al
most in moment his knife had reached the
unfortunate gamblers heart, and Bradford,
seeing the fate of his friend, raised his pistol,
fired, and Bigger fell dead across the corpse Of
Watrous.
A free fight at once ensued, Charley Bigger,
No,'oM anu JACKSON Hring upon BradfOrd

wounded. The wounded were taken to cab

covery.

that has ever occurred, even among the law

ton will not admit of doubt of its truth.

The poor fellow, seeing how it was, gave in,

truth, his heart was with the rebels !"
Thots settled his hash. One held his horse

cut set her off Mt q gentle pace, as if no
thing had happened. The rider bled and
ached in every limb, and "cussed" aloud
when out of hearing of his tornentors.
He had got far on his journey, entered q
ford, where his mare drank heartily, giving
him time to reflect upon his latter end, and
had just emerged from the food, when nine
armed men leaped from the woods and
brought him to second halt. The same
questions propounded by his first captors
were repeated by his present detainers, and
answered, with fear and trembling, in o
similar manner. AS in the first case, he
found that he could not battle them, and
thinking it safest to try the other side, he
declared that while he did no fighting, his
"heart was with the Union men,"

and tying his innocent and unsuspecting

lacerated. Never mind-they would select
q spot not before cut, and with that assur-

energy amidst his roars and groans.
Once more dressed off, squirming win

His reflections were not calculated to give
him consolation; but at last, catching d
glimpse of the village, he thought he was

around with guns and pistols, suddenly ap-

person had no time for parley, and came at

begged to be allowed to 60 on. He had
already suffered severely-he had been cut
and slashed behind until he was almost one

whereupon the rider dismounted, and with
the tear of distress glimmering in his eye,
and smile of humility and supplication
on his face, he threw an arm affectionately
around the walking arsenal, and said,
