STARTLING WAR HISTORY.

During the recent dredging of Fox river, in
Tennessee, the sunken remains of the once nervous
little gunboat, the "Yellow Jacket" were discov-
cred. The sinking of the "Yellow Jacket" was the
the most remarkable accident that ever occurred in
this country. The complete details of the affair
could not be obtained at the time in fact we are in
possession OF the only authentic account. Here it
is, told by John P. McLuskin, now a we'll known
physician of Coffee county, Tennessee
ait occurred" says the DOCTOR "when was
lad. There had been heavy snow, and several
boys, including.myself were providing about, hunt
ing rabbits. Along in the afternoon thaw set in,
and, we could find no rabbits, we began to
amuse ourselves by rolling snow ball. We were,
at this time, on the long hill, known as Benson's
Slope. We rolled the ball until it got to be as
large q hogshead and then, it easy to roll
down HILL continued to turn it over. To our great
delight, Ii became easier and easier to roll, and
suddenly, to great surprise, 1t broke away from
us and went bounding down the slope Then we
beheld startling sight. The ball grew so rapidly
that 1t soon looked like a rolling mountain. 1t
picked up a wagon and team, took upa negro cabin
and then, with tremendous bound fell into the
river, just in time to strike and completely bury
the gunboat yellow Jacket Not soul on board
escaped"
