Being in fair view, they were recoeni-

with shell from battery near. which
Gen. Sherman was s.andiRg. The she'll
struck close BY Gen. Johnston. As soon
as the piece could be reloaded, another
shell was dropped by the FIRST, when Gen.
Johnston said; Bishop vs. have seen
all We desire i let US retirs;" aud walked
rapidly back to where the horses were
left. Gen. Polk seemed lost IN thought,
and instead Of following Gm. Johnston to
the rear. walked to the face of the hill,
and received the tl,ird shell which fell upon
his side. carrying of his viscera. His
two staff officers sprang forward, and re-
ceiving him in their arms, carried him to
conveyance BY which he was immediate-
ly carried to Atlanta. where he lay in
state for time, and was then taken to
Augusta for burial.
Having seen it reported so often during
the war, that siuce he became soldier,
Bishop Polk had been guilty OF usin-
strong drink, aud also of using profaue
language. l asked my host and hostess
concerning the truth of these reports
With an carnestness which brought tears
to their checks. they both exclaimed -
"No, o, no ! never never Hia Chris

SCRAPS or HrsroRv Little By litelo
the score: iafsmJ Of Stanton's nilitssy
administration is being made -public.-
The New York World, criticisiug Judge.
Blacks defence Of Stanton in the Galaxy,
introduces the following incident. ; ~
Nor is i. amiss here to stste q fscs not
generally known. but susceptible Of proefy
that when, on the trial of Wirx, JudRs
Ould, tho Confederate Commissioner Of
Exchange, came to Washington as & wit-
ness. under subphcna. to prove tho facts
we have stated. Stanton sent him word
that if he did not return homo st once his
parole would be determined. He wont
away and Wirz was hung!
To which tho Savannah (Ga.) Repub.
liean furnishes tho following historical
continuation ..f rrs
To which We would add Che additional
fact, not generally known, that Gsu. Rs-
bert Il. Lee and Gen. Howell Cobb. wsce
also subp0naed and ordered to Washing
ton ~ Witnesses for the sccused, but wSfs
subsequently met on route BY ;dispssshes
from tho Government, ordering then sos
to come on. Gen. Cobb got - far - Sa-
vannah, and, receiving his dispatch, turn,
ed back. The prosecution had both thsse
gentlemen rejected as witnesses on che
ground that having engaged in rsbelien
they were personally Infamous, and Hot
to be believed on oath -.,~
We may also state. a. an interesting
fact in this connection, that Gen. COBB,
who was ID command at Macon during
she year 1864. had he been allowed q
reach Washington. would have seslissd
that upon receipt Of a. very large nuubsr
Of wounded Confederates from . recent
battle. more than could be accommodsted
In Macon, he wrote to toAndersonvilles 70 have
. quantity Of inmbsr that had been col.
lected there sent up immediately. TO- be
used in the construction Of Temporary hos
pi.als. wirs refused to let il 20, alleging
that he had been trying long aud had pfo-
cured it with great difficulty in order to
