idea of how fast one did go. During

Confederate governmet. 1t was my
duty to carry telegraph operator, who,
at different points, would cut the wires
aud send dispatches. We were running
at a rapid rate one day, when, upon
rounding a curve,I saw thousand gun
barrels blaze in the sunlight. L also
saw that a number of cross ties had
been piled on the track. To stop in
time was an impossibility !; to 90 on
seemed certain death, for even if we es-
capped being killed by the wrecklng OF
the engine we would be shot to death,
for we were regarded as spies. decid-
ed in a second what to do Telling my
companion to lie down in the tender,
seized the throttle, and, in locomotive
parlance, threw her wide open. The
engine jumped like rabbit. threw
myself fiat in the tender, expecting ev-
cry moment to be hurled to an awful
death. Bang, bang, bang went the
guns. Then all was silent, saYe the
whir whir of the wheels. Could 1T be
possible that the engine had knocked
off the distractions? [ arose and look
ed out. We had passed the enemy and
had scattered the ties. My companion,
as much astonished as myself, got up.
l looked back. and just abOYe the ten
der / saw what took to be swarm OF
big black flies. I reached out and took
hold of one. Gracious then discov-
cred what they were. They were
shower of bullets that the enemy had
fired after us. Well, we ran along at
this rate until all the bullets fell be-
hind. Then we Stacked up.' The gen.
