4 Fierce Clash of Cavalry.

As soon as Col. Dearing moved out so
as to threaten the Federal flank, Col.
Washburne charged him with his cavalry
and I never witnessed handsomer
charge than at this time led. Dearing
met him with the same undaunted, deter
mined pluck, and the most savage hand
to.hand fight ever witnessed was the
result. Dearing and Washburne were
both killed within three feet of each
other. Whether they slew each other I
cannot say, but many think they did.
Col. Boston and Major Thompson were
also killed in this cavalry fight and every
man in Washburne's command was killed,
wounded or captured; none tried to
escape. was unable, from wound
received through my left arm at Five
Forks few days before, from using my
sabre, but during the fight I rode among
my men and encouraged them by my
presence, which was all I could do, and
while 1 looked on I saw Major Jim
Breathard, of the horse artillery, attack
two Federal captains, Breathard with
pistol and the Federals with sabres.

portuuity to shoot, or if he shot be missed
bis mark, and when I saw him the Fed
erals we're cutting and striking at him
with their sabres and Breathard was ex-
ceediugly busy warding them off with his
pistol. Their horses were run against
Breathard's and he was finally knocked
of his horse, and in falling his foot was
caught between his horse and one of the
Federal captains and pulled off one of
his boots. Breathard then shot and killed
one of the officers and Courier Scruggs
dashed out from my side and killed the
other, and in a moment Breathard was in
the saddle again, with only one boot, and
again Joined in the fght.-Ma-Gcn.

= The officer who opens the Court is
called the "crier." On one occasion the
said officer had lost his wife, who had led
him an uncomfortable life, and he was of
course absent from his post. When the
Court came in, the Judge, as usual, said,
"NIr. Crier, open the Court" A young,
lacetious lawyer addressed the Court as
follows: May it please your Honor,

for us. Nota foot of lumber could be
had with which to build. But fortunate
ly Grant had left piles Of hewn logs,
which were intended for bridges, and
these my husband collected and soon
erected d "log cabin" which was very
comfortable.
The farmers of Madison Parish were
generally wealthy men, having good
homes filled with elegant furniture.
Whenever this furniture was left by the
fleeing owners it was seized by the Fed.
erals. The Mississippi River furnished
easy transportation to the Northwest.
In my musings 1 often picture to myself
"sweet Western girl" entertaining her
beau with music on piano which she
toastingly says "Papa captured in the
war;" While her mother dashes around
in a damask lined carriage that was once
q Rebels property, and the little children
of the brave Union soldier nestle togeth
er on confscated mahogany bedstcad.
Some may say, "Oh !! those were only
camp-followers and bummers who pill
laged your private residences" Not.
withstanding, the pulpit, the press, pub
lie sentiment urged and applauded every
indignity that was heaped upon us.
Those Union officers who devastated our
fields and burned our cities have been
rewarded with honors and princely
emoluments of Office, while others who
we're gentlemen are forgotten.
A lady, while visiting Minnesota with
her husband some few years since, met
man, holding an important office, who
boasted of the part he took in burning
Delhi and the private residences on Wal
nut Bayou. His recital of how he made
"the Rebels scamper" seemed to afford
him intense pleasure. After listening
quietly for time with suppressed ipdig.
nation to his adventures, she informed
him that her home was in Madison Par.
ish, and then giving him her opinion of
Yankee raiders in style that only an
"unreconstructed" Rebel woman is capa-
BILE of doing, left his presence. This
lady was the little girl whose steady
hand made a light when the midnight
raiders came to my house.
We have years ago forgiven all who
wronged US, but do not ask us to forget.
For
The terrible past
Ours with its ncmories-ours with its pail
Ours with its best blood shed like rain
Its sacrifices, all made in vain.
Forget? Never"

"A Washington correspondent of
the Neacs and Courier says: Vice:Pres.
ident Edmunds is very much pleased
with the course of events, and already
his friends are claiming that he will be
nominated at Chicago on the first ballot.
New York having declared for him 30
strongly is considered the best indication
of popular sentiment in his favor, and
especially since the Empire State is to
be the battle, ground of the campaign.
A Representative from Pennsylvania,
who has hitherto been outspoken for
Blaine, said o.day that the recent car.
toon in Puck, in which Blaine was tatooed
with "Mulligan Letters" and other char
ges, had done the greatest harm since
the campaign began. With Edmunds
and Lincoln for the ticket the Republi-
cans could wage an aggre.sI fight,
whereas with Blaine they would have to
be on the defensive, and already the
latter's chances are waning.
