GALLANT DEEDS.
INSTANCES OF HEROIsM WHICH THE AL
ExANDRIA CONFLICT REVIVED.
Chicago Inter Ocean,

Chicago Inter Ocean,
The dispatches from Alexandra en-
large upon the wonderful devotion and
extraordinary bravery Of the gunner on
board one of the British vessels who
picked up a shell with burning fuse
and immersed it in bucket Of water.
This was a courageous act but it was
not "more gallant than anything Of the
sort ever before chronicled. " During
our own war for the Union hundreds Of
cases as deserving of mention occurred.
At Stone River when Croft's Brigade
of Palmer's Division was pursuing the
routed rebels on the I'd Of January. they
came suddenly on a reserve battery that
opened on them with surprising fury.
The men were ordered to lie down, and
dropped in the soft mud of a corn6eld.
The rebel artillerymen had the range,
however, and poured shot and she'll in
to the advance line in a way that tore
some unfortunates in pieces and covered
nearly everyone with mud. In the midst
Of the terrific fusilade a shell struck be-
tween two men lying fiat on the ground
so near to their heads as to stun both.
Dozens Of men, the bravest there, closed
their eyes in anticipation of the terrible
scene that would follow the explosion.
But one Of the soldiers at whose shoulder
the smoking shell had struck. digging up
q handful Of mud, held it aloft for mo-
ment while he said coolly, "Ten to one.
boys, she don't bust" and then with a
sort Of gleeful agility he brought his great
wad Of mud down on the shell smoking
in the shallow hole, and "she didn't bust. "
No one thought George Hunt, of Com
pany c., First Kentucky Infantry, hero
for doing that, but possibly he ranked as
high as the courageous gunner On the Al
exsndra.
Another case: When Sherman Vai
getting ready for his move on Atlanta
great quantities Of ammunition were
stored in the railroad shed at Resaca.
One day in the midst Of q thunder
storm that dismsntled the camp. the am
munition building was struck by ightn-
ing. Hundreds Of the bravest soldiers
ran blindly away as they saw the boxes
Of shell thrown about, saw the gua<di
drop As if shot, and saw smoke issuing
from the top Of the great pile Of explo
sives. But one man, clear-e yed and cool
headed, saw that the smoke came from
tow in which the shells were p. cked, and
climbing to the top, seized thu burning
mass, and holding it up. shout ID, "Al
right, boys; no fireworks this time.
His intrepidity and alertness sase,t tn
ammunition and possibly many Lives
and his record should be kept as gree
IS that Of the gallant gunner Of the Al
exandra.
These are only sample cases. Th'
American war for the Union brought
hundreds of such gallant deeds into tn
clear light, and there is no good rea sol
why they should be forgotten.

THAT QUAKER BABY.

After | had taken my seat | looked up
