At the first battle of Bull Run, John
Meigs, son of Gen. MeigS, and West
Point cadet, seeing ho generals about,
assumed and for some time directed
the mo yement OF the troops, the officers
supPOsing he was an aid-de- camp, and
that the oeders came from the generals.
Seeing the enemy massing in the wood
to take Green's battery, Meigs ordered
Col MathewSoD tn move quickly with
his regiment to the support OF the bat
| terry. The movement was promptly
executed by the LIST California, and
then two other regiments were brought
up, | think the 3lst aud 32d New York.
| Later in the day the youthful general,
seeing the, field was lost, said to Col.
Mathewson. "Y0u had better fall back
toward Centreyille"
"And by whose authority DO you
give me suciii an order as that asked
! the colonel.
I "Well, sir" said young Meigs, 1.-The
truth is that for the last two hours !
have been unable to find any generals.
and have heen commanding myself"
| saw young Meigs on the field, and
he was wounded through the knee,
but remained on duty, although in ter
ribie pain and faint from the loss OF
blood. He was afterward killed by the
rebels in the Shenandoah valley.
IN the LIST IOWt there was il little
mite of II drummer boy named Edward
or, as he was more commonly called,
Eddie Lee. At Wilson's creek he had
both feet Shot:otf hy cannon ball. \
wounded rebel, who was shot through
the bowels and lay near Eddie, had
taken off his SuspenderS, and max ing
of them iigatureS, tied up Eddie'S
stumpS tO stop the flow of blood. Dur
ing the night the rebel died aud Eddie
lay on the field all night beside him.
In the morning, as soon as it was light,
the LIST Iowa were surprised to hear
| Eddie'S drum beating the reveille down
! in ravinc. One of the men. following
! the sound of the drum. went to him
and found the little fellow seated on
the ground. vigorously beating away,
his drum fastened to Il bush 10y his side.
Good morning, corporal" he said !;
''Oh, get me some water, | am so
thirsty"
! The corporal got the water, and
while he was giving the boy drink,
the enemy came up and captured them
both. A rebel hOrseman took Eddie
up tenderly before him and carried
him to the rebel camp, where his
stumps we're amputated and the
wounds carefully dressed, but he died
in few hours after the operation was
performed. Eddie Lees father had
been killed 10y rebels, and he was the
son of Il poor East Tennessee woman.
He went into the army to try and earn
/ il living for his mother.

The Exposition correspondent of the

Orleans on the l4th two days before the
opening of the Exposition) refers as fol-
lows to An important matter OF business
which will come up IN the Legislature,
and probably At an early day of the SEES
sion, as it demands prompt attention in
order that Florida's exhibit may be
improved and sustained during the COM
ing months, and that just compensation
may be made for service rendered by those
who give their time to work for the pub
lie good Other States have given wise
ly. for they gave literally, in aid of their
Exposition interests, and if Florida does
not do likewise she will not deserve the
benefits that they have right TO expect.
Says the correspondent
Undoubtedly an appropriation bill must be in
PRODUCED as so0n as the Legislature meets thai
our Stale may be fifty represented IN this city.
The result visible on Tuesday next has been
accomplished by individual effsrts, except where
the fund given by the nation has been used To

sideration, and II efefors, some idea Of the work
done By these agents As seen by the results
here should be gained by each member who
must pass Judgment In q matter SD important.
