IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT.

1uTOuSuOuI VIC Wal VI SCSCSoioi
there was a portion of Southeastern
Kentucky, adjacent to the States Of
Virginia and Tennessee, which, while
pataking of the character of neutral
ground as between the two belligerent
armies, was in a condition of perpetual
social disorganization from the tuniults,
shifting fortunes, and alternate neigh
boring occupancies of Northern and
Southern camps Any established law
full order of things was impossible in
such situation. Taking license from
the powerlessness of all local constitu-
ted authority, the scattered population
became law unto themselves; and
hostilities in Virginia and on the Mis-
sissippi had not long prevailed before
this irregular angle of the much vexed
border country was at the mercy of
whatever individuals or bands chose to
domineer it with their hatreds or villa
MES. It was on a morning in June, Of
1862, when the state of things thus de-
scribable was at its worst, that young
man named Belknap left his h ONE on
the edge of one of the Cumbe rland val
leys, to carry to bank in the town of
B., about ten miles distant, the sum of
81 500 which he had lately received
from an expired mortgage on a neigh
boring estate. Unsafe as it must have
been to retain that amount of money in
the house, the widowed mother of the
youth dreaded the greater perils her
son might encounter in bearing it
through country swarming with out
laws, and begged him to forego the
journey. Confident, however, in the
bright summer sunshine, the speed of
his fine horse and his beliefin the good
will of all parties in the region towards
himself and family, the young man
laughed at the maternal apprehensions,
and gallopped gayly off with the prom
Use to be back at nightfall. But the
night passed without his return, and
another day also; and the mother, with
all her prophetic fears verging to
agonize assurance of evil, started forth
to seek tidings of the missing horseman.
The house nearest to the widows own
was that of squire Mosely, five miles
of, and on arriving thither she was
nomentarily comforted to learn that her
son had paused there awhile for
friendly call on his way to Bourbon
vile. The squire-an old family friend
md man of eminence in the county,
vas sure that the young man was safe;
lad probably been detained by unfore-
een business, and would soon reappear.
When after several succeeding days
here was still no news, the gentleman
himself dispatched messenger to the ;
own to inquire. But Belknap had new {
r been to the bank, no one could be t
ound who had seen him in B., and the t
nystery assumed suggestion in keep +
ng with the lawless terrors of the times.

She was expecting him Sunday night;
the parlor curtains were down, the old

90 to bed at 8 o'clock, and Johnny
bribed with cent to permit himself to
be tucked away at shutdown. He
sneaked up the path, one eye on the
dog and the other watching for the
"old man." who didn't like him any to
well, gave faint knock at the door,
and it was opened, and he was escor-
ted into the parlor. He said he couldn't
stay but minute, though he didn't
mean to go home for hours. She want

and he played with his hat. and she nib
bled at the sofa tidy. He finally said it
was beautiful evening, and she replied
that her grandfather predicted snow
storm. He said he guessed it wouldn't
snow as the moon was crooked enough
to hang powder horn on the end, and
she said she didn't believe it would
either. This mutual understanding
seemed to give each other courage, and
he wanted to know if she had seen Bill
Jones, lately. She hadn't, she said, and
she didn't want to. Then they went to
talking about the donation visit which
was to be given Elder Berry, and he

M0ONLI0HT MEMORIES.



rrbe following beautiful lines show that life
incidents Of the most pleasing and agreeable
nature may be followed by the most shockingl,
disasters. We can never be too
careful, no matter how bright and encouraging
the prospects before us:
By chance and moonlight years agone,
We met upon her fathers lawn.
Upon that moonlight lawn we walked,
And in the lovely moonlight talked.
All, then felt ne'er had seen
Maiden so lovely and serene.
Such glorious hair, by moonlight shown.
Might grace the mightiest monarch's throne.
Eyes that outrivalled heavens bright stars.
And brought to shame the light Of Mars.
A form with every grace replete.
voice divinely soft and sweet.
All, poets pen could never trace
The swset projections of her face.
Fen fancy in the plastic air
Meier wroughta being half so fair.
That hour in her bright presence spent,
New charms at every moment lent.
Betrayed by love and moonlights' power.
My heart surrendered in that heur
And lost 70 every eArtnly care,
blessed the charms that led me there.
So when that blssful walk was DER,
We parted at her fathers door,
And exercising lawful right,
begged ono kiss and good night
The boon was granted and the thrill
OF that kiss fingers with me still
Oh, ne'er can poets glowing line
Portray sensation so divine
Nor can such rapture e'er be guessed
As when her lips to mine were pressed.
And ne'er shall mortal feel again
Such bliss as thrilled my blood and brain.
Oh. never till ife's sun is set
In deaths dark night shall forget
The more than mortal joy and bliss
OF that delicious moonlight kiss.
For with that kiss SO warm and rich.
Your humble servant-"ketched the itch!"

The Indian War.

OMAHA, March 4.-Major Gen.
Ord furnishes The following extracts of
a letter from Agent Sayille to COL
Smith, Fort Laramie
No disturbances since last dispatch
Many Indians have left, some with
the unconcealed intention Of joining
the war party. Affairs are so COM
plicated among them that troops are
needed to protect the agency. Crazy
torse is on the war path. The Chey-
ennes seem determined to keep the
peace. Now is the time for troops to
reach the agency, but would respect
fully suggest not to depend Gu too
small force. Two thou sand Indians
could be concentrated here in short
time. A regiment once inside this
s'ockade could defend it against any
force they could raise, but the Difficult
ty is to get here The Indians have
sentinels all over the country, and keep
a line along the hills Of the Platte, so
that a force starting from the fort
would be preceded by the Indians.
i think that if troops start at sundowu
and ride through without delay we
could hold the agency till they arrive.
The Indians can be taken by surprise
now, but two weeks later they would
surprise US. We will stand on the
defensive till you arrive. [ would
suggest that you do not start until my
messenger arrives. as unless we are
fully prepared we would probably al
be killed before you could get here.
Troops here means war, though a
large part of the Indians now here
will accept the situation when they once
get here"
Mr.. Dear, Trader, at the Red Cloud
Agency. ran the gauntlet on Monday
night drive of ninety miles, arriving
at Fort Laramie yesterday morning.
He was assisted to escape by two
friendly Indians. He confirms Agent
Saville's report, and states that the
Minneconjou and Brule war parties
are on Hot River, twenty-five miles
north of the agency. The troops that
left Fort Laramie Monday will reach
the agency this evening or tomorrow
morning, and will relieve the employees
There seems to be no question but that
there vii | be war, but the scene of the
trouble is so far removed from the
settlements that no fear whatever is
entertained that they will be troubled.
The weather is reported good.
