Tine Mule OF Sumter,

When Dahlgren's iron-clads began op- eratioas in Charleston Harbor, the Tenth Army Corps made a sudden dash and drove in the thin lines cf pickets which the rebels had posted on the eastern end of Morris Island. When daylight came every gun which Beauregard could bring to bear upon the new work began to rain shot and shell, and from daylight till noon there were lively times in and about Char leston Bay. Shortly after noon Fort Sum- ter opened furiously, and it was feared that an attempt was about to be made by the enemy to advance There were enough men there, it was thought to hold it, but there was a deficiency of ammunition, and so muie-driver volunteered to Ce y1r the ammunition. The only road was the smooth and sandy beach along the bay, and the distance between the two points about a mile and a half. Half that dis tance was within easy range of Fort Sum- ter, and Battery Wagner's guns covered all the way to the sand hills, behind which was the Federal camp.
 l am describing this incident as it ap- peared from the shipping in the bay, and what called attention to it was the sudden waking up of every gun on the southeast angle of Sumter Looking to see the cause of the furious cannonading, every body was surprised to see mule team tearing up the beach in th,. direction of the new work. The driver was laying the lash on, and that mule had its ears laid straight back and was making its legs go, Occa- sionaly a shell would touch the beach, bound up, and explode, and the mule would then hesitate and try to turn back.
The Arizona sentinel., 1877-12-29

But the driver would lay the cowhiie on
 with reu ewed yigor; then the mule put on
 another squirt, until at last it became en-
 tiiely demoializcd by the explosion of a
 n-iuch shell almost under its belly. Ev-
 cry glass in the squadron was levelied at
 the spectacle. The driver got fl his seat,
 took the animal by the head, whirled it
 around once or twice and started it up the
 beach once more. Fort Sumter flashed and
 tlamed, Battery Wagner belched and
 thaudered. and still that daring driver
 urged his mule along, though the way was
 swept by at least thirty guns.
 ] At last he reached his destination, but
 he could not stay there, and in moment
 he was turned around and exhorting that
 animal to do his level best. The mule did
 not need to be told 10 step out, for in its | rear there was roar and racket, and about ! its ears were flying sand and scrap-iron, which seemed to stimulate its heetness. Down that hard beach flew the mule, the light cart bobbing and swaying, and the ! drivers arm rising and falling as he dealt
 out lash after lash. At last they near the ! friendly shelter of the sand hills In anoth-
 CT minute they viii be safe, but just as ] they near the place to turn aside a shell came screaming from Sumter. Everybody could see the huge mass of iron as it roar ed through the air. It struck the beach directly III the rear of the mule and with a bound 1t overlook it and exploded with terrific violence. A general exclamation is heard from Dahlgren's flagship, where the Admiral and his staffare earnestly gag ing at the adventurous mule and his dar- ing driver. Fort Sumter's ramparts are black with men, they, too, willing witness es of Yankee pluck. Along the swell of Morris Island, and covering every eleva- tior, can be seen the Union soldiers, who stand with bated breath, anxious and full of suspense, and every eye intently taking i'll the scene. When the shell exploded circle hid the mule for moment, but when the smoke cleared MT. Mule had his ears laid back, and, with head down, and legs flashing wildly out, he was making kind ling wood of the cart, which had been bad ly demoralized by fragment of the she,l. Presently the driver is seen limping to the mule; i'll a second the mule is free from the cart and. with the driver OH his back. and a farewell whislz of his tail, disappears behind the cover of the hills
 The thousands of boys in blue unite in q long and hearty hurrah; the sailors wave their hats and shout themselves hoarse, and, hark! the rebels have caaght the in- lection, and are cheering. too.-l Hartford Times.

of the balls.

AIr. Butler was the star performer in to- days debate. His physical grotesqueness is constant source of fascination to mem- bers. Whenever he begins to talk, every one wheels about and gives the most marked attention. Mir. ButleTs talk indi- c0tes that he is rapidly growing old. He is now very fat, and his movements are waddling and clumsy. His voice comes thick and cholcd. He labors in speech Ike locomotive gong up steep grade. He puffs and belches out his words in a muffled way that requires the closest atten- ton 10 determine what he is saving. He "esticulates vigorously, but clumsily.
