A CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE

(From Lippincots's Magazine.)

(From Lippincots' 5 Magazine.)
During the greater part of the
war 1 lived i'm Richmond. AS ca
lamities increasr d / could not help
observing the growth ofsomcthing
akin to superstition. In the pres
ence of evils which human power
seemed wholly unable te avert, the
return of this trace OF aboriginal
fetishism was but natural. Impor--
lance was attached to potents, and
people watched the skies with alb
sorbing interest. 1t was remem-
bered that the comet of 1861 ap-
reared, from General Beauregard's
headquarters, to hang just over
what was afterwards the held OF
battle The BATTLE Rainbow"
which appeared a day or two be-
fore the seven days lighting
around Richmond, was made the
theme of John r. Thompson's
verse. Az aurora of CHASTITY lur-
i,Ire-e flushed the skies in Inc al
.,r.lon of Fredericksburg a night
on two previous to the great battle
which occurred in and near that
town. A spell of desperately bad
weather marked the fall OF Donel-
son and Roanoke Island, and there
were not wanting those who be-
lived that bright skies were aus
pieious for the Confederate arms,
while lowering heavens betOkened
Victories for the banners OF the
Union.
What struck me most was not
the continual temperance of the
s'reliable gentlemen" of the news
paper reporters who was forever
coming down the CENTRAL rail-
road with pleasing ir telligence for
the authorities in Richmond" but
the almost invariablc occurrence OF
rumors of great victories imme
diately before signal defeats A
lapse Of ten years has clouded my
memory not little, but am una
ble to recall a single Confederate
Tepulse that was not preceded by
this ominous symptom. lam sure
Il occurred just before Antieiam,
and again just before Gettysburg,
aud it continued until the final ca
tastrophe at Appomattox; can
never forget that at Danville,some
twenty-four hours before the news
ofGeneral Lees surrender reached

lated to the effect that the South

plete victory over Gen. Sheridan's
forces thereby ensuring Genera

gate majority Of 1,949 for Goodin,
against 1895 for Cobb, with six

believed that the returns from
these counties1 will modify the
result in Cobb's favor, but not

no very great interest. Not more

and. as believe, for the foolish
purpose above indicated.
An incident OF wholly differ
ent nature still seems to me Curl
Gus. Seated one night with a
friend on the steps OF a row OF Of
fees on Bank street, facing The
Capitol Square suddenly there
came, without no of warning,
and apparently not more than thir-
ty or forty feet overhead, the pc
cuiiar, rushing, Kissing sound of a
shell in RAJ id motion. Profound
~ startled, my friend and myself
sprang 10 our feet, expecting
momently to hear the shell ex-
plode in the War Department on
Ninth street, at which it see II ed
evidently to have been aimed. The
sentry at the postoffice tGoddin's
b Il i | d ing cried out in
alarm; the captain Of the guard at
the Capitol ran headlong down the
nill to inquire into the matter,
and soldier Y no had been asleep
on the grass in the square bounced
up in state of extreme agitation
There was no explosion. There
had been no sound of a gun pre-
vious TO the noise of the shell.
The nearest Federal batteries were
so far way that their shot and
shell and rarely if ever reached
Church Hill, and Bank street was
mile farther off. The Confeder
ate guns, though nearer than the
Federal, could hardly have shot
so far. Surprising them to have
had the range of the famous
"Swamp Angle' before Charles
ton, what earthly motive could
the gunners have had for firing
this solitary shell into their own
city? Could it have bsen an acct
dent? Then a shell must certainly
have been fired. But it is not
certain that shell was fired. Not
only no explosion took place, but
no house was struck, and dilligent
inquiry in the upper part of the
city Jailed to elicit any information
whatever about the shell. IL
could hardly have fallen in
the most densely peopled
streets and in midst of private
dwellings,, without attracting a
particle of attention. After all,
was it shell? NO one saw it: the
fuse was mot burning. Could it
have passed entirely over the city!
Impossible, in my opinion. What
was il? The mystery was never
| solved.
