TIE CAPTURED MUNITIONS.

Upon an inventory being taken of the cap
tured ordnance and ordnance stores, it was
found to consist of As cannon of various cali
bers, two of which were 24-pound rifled
Blakely (Englishl, 6,2l2 unprepared and 874
prepared proectiles, 40700 pounds of gum
powder, and miscellaneous quantity OF small
arms.
Col Olmstead, the commanding officer of the
surrendered garrison, struck all who came in
contact with him as man of superior charac-
ter lie was apparently not over 80 years of
age, tall and well shaped, with ahigh forehead,
calm and reflective countenance, and mild and
gentlemaniy in manners. The conversation
was entirely confined TO the events of the siege,
and did not take a political shape. He enter
tanned the National officers in his own quarters
while they were awaiting the arrival of the Com
manding General, with courteous hospitality
and subdued geniality which won their
hearts. Gen. Hunter gave him back his sword
as compliment to his gallantry and courtesy
as a soldier and gentleman.
During the bombardmeBt 5,215 shots were
fired from the National batteries of which 1893
were from rifled cannon. The distance from
the batteries to the fort varied from $50 to
3,400 yards. The total loss on our side was one
man killed. None of the pieces were struck.
The appearance of the fort after the bonn
bardment bore convincing testimony to the
terrible efficacy of the fire of the National bat
teries. Most of the barbet guns were dis
mounted or rendered temporarily unservice-
able. and the fort was completely preached.
Exposed to such an ordeal, it is no reflection
on Southern valor that the gallant Confederate
Col. Olmstead was forced to surrender. Thus
ended one of the most remarkable lombard
ments of the present age. For the complete
ness of its arrangements and the speedy effect
of the firing, the investment and reduction of
Fort Pulaski stands without parallel in the
annals of military engineering.

81 HAS A CLOSE CALL.
His Adventures With Co. @ Guarding
a Forage Train.

Company Q's bin detailed to go out m help
guard q forage train tomorrow" said the Or
derly one evening at roll call. I" You fellers
wants to all be up n dressed bright N early,
with yer cartridge-boxes full n days rations
in yer haversacks. Be sure yer guns is in good
order, fer likely's not We'll have a squirmish
afore We git back!"
The 20Oth Ind had been lying in camp for
two or three days. and the ambitious heroes
who composed that regiment were getting tired
of loafing about. Nothing chafed the raging
patriotism of the new troops like a condition,
however brief, of mastery inactivity. They
refused to be comforted unless they were on
the warpath all the time. Their ideal of a
soldiers life was to take rebel battery every
morning before breakfast, storm line of works
to give them an appetite for dinner, and spend
the afternoon charging with cold steel the SER
ried columns of the foe, aad wading around
through seas of gore
So Corporal Klegg and Shorty and the rest
of the boys betook themselves with alacrity to
the work of preparation for the duties Of the
morrow. Members of the other companies
watched the proceedings with jealous eye.
They almost turned green with envy because
they were not detailed for the expedition in
stead of Co. Q.
"Say, ST." remarked Shorty, thoughtfully
"hadn't we better write letter home2 Who
knows but Well be as dead as mackerels to-
morrer night"
Fiddlesticks!" said 81. "Whats the use O.

let III hit me, nuther. If we're goin' to be
killed we can't help it, so let's not fret our
gizzards!" And ST crammed handful of hard
tack into his haversack.
Sis CHEEKY view of the case was not without
its effect upon Shorty. Indeed, it cannot be
denied that there was great deal of common
sense in his homely, good-natured philosophy.
Sooner or later every soldier who did not "peter
out" came gradually to adopt Sis idea as the
governing principle of his military career.
Shouldn't wonder if you was bout right,
after ALL" said Shorty, as he sliced up some ba-
con to have it ready for an early breakfast.

A mile further on those who were in the
lead, rising to the1 crest Of q hill, saw-oI
thought they saw-a few vagrant cavalrymen
far ahead The train was halted and disposi.
tions were made to meet any emergency likely
to arise. The men were ordered to tumble
out" Of the wagons. The main body was
formed in advance. A line of skirmishers was
deployed in front and fansers were thrown out
on either side Thus protected, the mule
drivers again cracked their whips and the pro-
cession moved cautiously forward.
Nov keep yer eyes skinned" said ST to
Shorty, as they trailed along through the
woods and fields and over fences, On one of the
danks. eff any of them raskls comes dodgin'
round here let's try n have the first crack at
'em, m git the bulge on the rest o the boys ~
Keenly alert, with muskets loaded and
capped, they crept carefully along poking their
noses into every thicket and peering around
every building. 1t was clear that there would
not be anything in the nature of surprise if
the whole line was as well taken care of as the
particular point guarded by Corporal Klegg
and his faithful friend Shorty.
Its some like huntin' squirrels up in the
woods of Posey County, amt it, Shortly" said
ST, as they forced their way through patch OF
brambles
"Wall, yes" replied Shorty I" but this pears
to be rayther more excitin'. Ye know squir-
rels doesn't shute back at feller like them
pesky rebbes does, an the fun s all on one
side. l reckon eff squirrels cd shute there
wouldn't be so much huntin' of 'em!"
1t was really disappointment to Si that he
found no opportunity to squint along the barrel
of his musket in range of a foe. If any of
his misguided fellow citizens were in the
neighbOrhood they considered discretion the
better part of valor and kept out of harms
way.
In due time the Scroggs plantation was
reached. A hasty examination showed that
there was an abundance Of corn on the place to
load the wagons, and arrangements for a sud
den transfer of the property were quickly
made. third OF the force established a cor
don of picket-posts around the marauding party,
covering all the avenues of approach, with re-
serves at convenient points. The remainder of
tho troops stacked arms and entered briskly
upon the work Of confiscation.
Part of the harvest had already been gath
cred, and the first assault was made on a we'll
filled corn-house-one of a group of dilapidated
outbuildings a little way from the dwelling.
"Old man" Scroggs protested with profane vehe-
mence, reinforced by the "Old woman and the
entire family of children. We say "entire
family" because there could not well have been
more numerous progeny in one household
anywhere outside of Utah.
The head of the family cursed and swore,
and his wife and the big girls looked as if they
wanted to do the same thing, as they stood

ming himself on the fence, and whose principal
occupation seemed to be chewing tobacco aud
distributing the resultant liquid around in a
pfomiscuous way.
Good morning stranger" said the officer
"have you any corn on your place?"
!" Haint got dog -goned ear left!" was the
surly answer. Some O youunses men wuz
out here yisterdy m TUX every bit he'd"
This may may not have been true. IN
quiries of this nature always developed the fact
that it was mans neighbors who had plenty
of corn; he never had any himself.
"Thars ole man Scroggs," he continued; he
lives a matter O. two mile from hyar. l low
yell git sum if ye go thar. He growed a power
o. Gavin this yeah he sold heap, but reckon
he's got right smart left"
During this time couple of men, sent for
that purpose, had been making G hasty exam-
nation Of the outbuildings OH the place. They
reported that they could find nothing in the
way of forage. If the man had any corn he
had carefully concealed it. The train started
on to pay visit to ole man Scroggs"
Say, old pard," asked 81 as his wagon drove
past, is there any rebs round here?"
