Thursday we spent at the live town of Hope. We have num- Der of friends down there, who be- lieve in liberal advertising, among them Sid Wood, White & Wood, Sam w. White, Jas. P.

 While at Hope last Thursday, we noticed that Sid Wood, the "Prince Merchanr was scooping in the most of the cotton brought in, and we learned he always Ouys very largely, more than any other two men in the place. It is known far and wide that he sells more goods than any merchant in this whole section. These things are not surprising, since Sid has enough energy for two men, and always keeps an immense stock of goods-has just received over s2O,' 900 worth of new goods.

must take the ship down after dark, so that the rebels won't see us.'
 "Stono's Island was only seven miles down the river, and it was not long before we were anchored there, and making every preparation for jovial spread.
 "Before daybreak on Christmas morning we were all startled by the sound of heavy
 firing in the direction from whence we had come, and soon realized that the Confederates were peppering the Earblehead. The brave little boat was receiving the fire of 16 pieces
 of artillery, supported by strong infantry force.
 Running into the Stono river and right
 opposite Johns Island was creek, and as
 we came sailing up the river I noticed this
 creek, and also observed that if we could run the Pawnee into it we could enflade mask ed battery which was situated on the point of land between the creek and the river. Captain, said, if we do get in there there is one thing sure they can't sink us.' "sGo ahead, replied the captain; do as you say.'
 GAS we came abreast of the creek, down l went the ships helm, and in we ran, high and dry and commanding the rear of the batteries. Two broadsides settled the bat tery. They did not wait for any more, and | began to timber up their guns and hurry | away When they left we went ashore and l captured two sea-coast eight-inch howitzers. | We were also assisted by the Williams, a mortar schooner. You can understand now ! hard the fighting was when I tell you that | the Marblehead was struck no less than 30 | times Our work was then to get the Paw nee off from where she was stuck. Thus you see we lost our Christmas dinner. | Capt. Balch was highly praised for this ! service. He was officially thanked, and the | orders were read on every quarter deck of l the fleet.
 "Thirteen years afterward," continued the
 captain, sI was travelling on the railroad to- ward Charleston when asked of man who
 was sitting next me what river it was that we were passing over. ''The Stono, he replied. 's Great Scott!' shouted, looking out
 through the window; lis that the Stono? What, do you know it' asked the stran- ger.
 l" Guess so. I remember it we'll in the late unpleasantness,' was my response. I was the executive officer of the Pawnee, and helped to scoop that battery Yes, and I was the captain of one of the batteries. Do you know we had for months been planning that battle. We in tended to sink you on Christmas morning,
 but for some unexplainable reason you left,
 and the Marblehead received your Christmas
 present 'D
