JOHNSON HAGooD.
NUMBER TWO.

The hero of the second incident was
Confederate soldier, private in one of
the companies of Gen. J. B. Kershaw's
brigade. I do not know his name, and
his story, so far as it could be related by
my informant, was q brief one. Perhaps
Gen. Kershaw or some one of his old
comrades will supply his name and
better account of his daring deed.
The facts as told to me were that dur
ing the battle Of Fredericksburg, and
after the Federals had been repulsed with
frightful loss, in one of their attacks on
Mary's Heights, a private of his command
appeared before General Kershaw with
number of canteens in his hands, or slung
from his shoulders, and asked permission
to 90 over the breastworks for the purpose
of carrying them to the wounded Federals,
whose piteous cries for "waterl waterp
could be plainly heard above all the horrid
din of the battle. The ground where they
lay in front of the works, was still swept
by the incessant fire of the opposing forces,
and Gen. Kershaw naturally declined to
allow the man to expose himself to such
seemingly certain destruction. 1t was
not safe, indeed, to present the slightest
target over the top of the earthworks to
the deadly hail that was poured upon
them. The brave fellow replied simply
that he "could not bear to hear the cries
of the wounded men," and would take
the risk if allowed to do so. Permission
was granted with some reluctance, and
in another moment the soldier was over
the works and busily engaged in his haz-
ardous task of ministering to the suffer-
ing and frantic Federals around him.
The firing was steadily sustained on both
sides while he was thus engaged, and
scarcely minute elapsed before ball
from the front nearly tore off one arm
and left it dangling uselessly at his side.
Nothing daunted by his own severe
wound, the noble fellow kept steadily on
his errand of mercy, and moved about
among his PROSTATE fellow-creatures dis.
tributing the water they so much craved
as he went.
The singular spectacle seemed at last
to have attracted attention in the Federal
ranks, and several officers could be seen
intently watching him through their field
glasses, as thoug to satisfy themselves
that they were not mistaken as to his
purpose. Recognizing the work he was
performing, and the danger he was in,
they suddenly stopped the firing in his
direction, which had indeed increased
upon his first appearance. The Confed-
crates followed their example, and in q
few moments more a number of his COM
rades had joined the brave man in his
self-imposed task. When it was accom-
plished all returned to their own lines,
and the battle was renewed.
The sequel is sad one: The same
courageous spirit prompted the brave
fellow to attempt like effort In the bat,
tie of the Wilderness little later, and
he was shot down in his tracks and in
stantly killed, almost at the outset of his
attempt, with the cantcens yet in his

listers in all Liberia; but they are men
from the Liberian College, and they are
young men, and under them the work is
growing. On account of my acclimation

my mission; but thank God that we are
not without fruits in the way of saving
souls. Write me the news. May the
good Lord ever keep his smiles over you,
and his grace in you, is the prayer of
your brother. II. N. BoUEY.

A Letter that Gen. Gary Cannot Afford to

Hon. John G. Haskell, of Columbia,
son-in-law of Senator Hampton, in the
following communication to the Able

made to a correspondent of that journal
by Senator Gary, of Edgefeld. The
charges were simply reiteration of
those heretofore made by Senator Gary,
and with which our readers are familiar:

MY DEAR SIR-Your communication
of the 7th instant, requesting from me
sworn statement Of the facts connecting
you and myself with the combat, on the
2lst of August, 1864, upon the Weldon
road, with the view OF being used by you
in an application for pension, was re-
ceived few days ago.
Enclosed you will find an affidavit of
the facts as l saw them, and which in all
important particulars l believe to be cor
rect. 1t is made out from memoranda
taken at the time.
I have never before given detailed
statement of the incident to any one, nor
have any of the publications upon the
subject emanated, directly or indirectly,
from me. Capt. Young, to whom you re-
fer, was not member of my brigade,
and do not now recollect ever having
met him. His account is based upon
the general army rumor of the day. l
made very brief official report of the
part my brigade took in the action, which
may or may not now be in Washington
among the papers of the Confederate
War Office.
Will you permit me to express the

There was an error in the statistical
statement concerning the Blue Ridge
Railroad published yesterday. The tun,,
nelling which is avoided by the new and
easy line is the War Woman tunnel in
North Carolina, not the tunnels in South
Carolina. No tunnelling in North Caro-
lima will be required. The Stump-House

made injuriously heavy.-Ne,cs and COu-
