Ants that XIII Snakes and Build Boats.

Driver ants not only build boats bat laneh
them, too; only these boats are formed of their
own bodies. They are called drivers be-
cause of their ferOeity. Nothing can stand be-
fore the attacks of these little creatures. Large
pythons have been killed by them in a single
night, while chickens, lizards and other ami
mails in Western Africa fee from them in ter
rOr. To protect themselves from the heat they
erect arches under which numerous armies of
them pass in safety. Sometimes the arch is
made of grass aud earth and gummed together
by some secretion, and again it is formed by
the bodies of the larger ants, which hold them
selves together by their strong nippers while
the workers pass under them. At certain times
of the year fTeshets overflow the country in
hablted by the drivers, and it is then that these
ants go to sea. The rain comes suddenly, and
the walls of their houses are broken in by the
flood, but, instead of coming to the surface in
scattered hundreds and being swept off to de-
struction, out of the ruin rises black ball that
rides safely on the water and drifts away. At
the first warming of danger the little creatures
rush together aud form a solid body of ants,
the weaker in the center; often the ball is
larger than common base ball, and in this
way they float about until they lodge against
some tree, upon the branches of which they are
soon safe and sound.

The Blunder at White OAK swami.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / have been
watching your paper for some time to see some
thing about the blunder that happened at
White Oak Swamp, Va, during the seven days
retreat from in front of Richmond. Our bat
terry, the Sd \. Y. i. A, known as Motifs ceie-
brated battery, of the Sixth Corps, acting with
the rear-guard, was on the tramp all night.
We crossed the swamp over gabion bridge-or,
as we termed il in the army, corduroy bridge
just at daylight, and was assigned a position
III plowed field 10 cover the engineers in their
work of tearing up the bridge. They COM
pleted their work and retired, we still holding
our original position. We could see rebel cav
airy going in and out of a dense woods on the
opposite side of the swamp, and which turned
out later to be rebel artillery getting in posi-
ton TO give US a surprise, and right royal
surprise it was In 20 minutes we lost 26 per
cent. Of our men, 40 horses, all our caissons,
and one gun. Some of our men had small
pocket spyglasses, and could see that something
out Of the regular order was going on at the
edge Of the woods before the rebels opened ON
US. II our officers had had orders from head
quarters TO fire ar occasional shot now and
then, we would have been better prepared for
action; but some of the men were asleep under
the guns, some were after water, and others
scattered around in different directions 1t
was estimated that the rebels opened upon us
about 80 pieces Of artillery at given signal
from one gun on the right. 1t was a terrible
Ere for about half an hour.
If any comrade of our battery, or any other
regiment or battery, can explain why we were

One Of the LoeomotIrs Cnptorr.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: After reading
the work called Capturing Locomotive" it
recalled the following to my mind;
Soon after the war / WAS employed as an
attendant in the State Lunatie Hospital at
Worcester, Mass. While employed in this
capacity there was rather tail, slim, dark
cOmplexioned, good-lOoking man, perhaps 40
years old, admitted as patient who claimed
to be Robert Buium.
His insanity was of peculiar type, in fact a
casual observer would fail to detect anything
in his conversation TO denote insanity; even
some of the attendants in whose charge he was
placed intimated that il was a shame to eonfne
such man in an insane hospital. Yet anyone
at all conversant with the insane could easily
detect conclusive marks of insanity.
While there / almost daily came in contact
with him, and he often told me the tale Of how
he and few others went into the enemy's
country and took q locomotive; how they were
overtaken, lncarcerated IN dungeon, many
hanged, etc.
At the time I was not acquainted with the
facts and supposed it TO be partially magma
ton; but on reading the history of the expe-
dition ! deem il more than probable that he
was the Robert Buffum of the adventure Poor
Buhum! he was ia the hospital when left,
but / have learned that he was afterward dis
charged, and that in company with a young
man who was discharged at the same time he
went 70 tHS young hidu nome, somewhere IN
New York, where, IN revenge for some fancied
insult, he shot the father Of the young man
through the head while at dinner
In all probability Robert Bufum's insanity
was produced by the terrible ordeal through
which he passed, with bloodhouBds and starva-
ton, in slave-pens, and with tbs gallows con-
stantly before him. he is now, if living prob.
ably an inmate of some lunatic hospital. Who
knows?-C. L. NASH, Co. f, 18th VT, West

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In answer to
w. r. Wilkins's question in your issue of June
q as to the Proyidential Spring in Anderson
vile, have TO say that or about the 10th
of August, 1864, there came great storm, dur
ing which said spring broke out. 1t was in
deed proyidential to the thousands of men who
had no interest in the private wells, and were
compelled TO use and drink the filthy water
from the creek. To those men it was God
send. The storm was so severe that on the
side hills it washed the earth away, SO that
it undermined the tents $50 called, plowed
great gullies two, three and four feet deep, and
from one of these gullies inside the dead-line
the spring emanated. Previous to the storm
the spring, without doubt, came up in the
creek 30 40 or perhaps more feet below. While
we considered the coming of the spring provi-
dentia it did not, as a great many supposed,
break forth without any natural cause. Ii
came in great rain storm, and the breaking
of the banks opened the spring further up the
hill, where we could make use of it, and many
were the thanks to the invisible power for
having sent the storm. Thus came the famous
Providence Spring, with large stream of pure,
cold water.-R B. McCuLLY. Drummer, Cos b
