CHAPTER XVII.
MEET WITH A HAPPY ADVENTURE

MEET WITH HAPPY ADVENTURE.
The rest of this signal victory-in which
seventeen hundred prisoners were taken, be-
side; the Maj. Gen. Chudlegh, and all the
rebels camp, cannon and victuals-l leave
historians to tell. For very soon after tho
rout was assured thc plain below full of men
screaming and running, and Col. John Digbys
dragons after them, chasing, cutting and
killing, wet muzze was thrust into my
hand, and, turning. found Molly behind me,
with tho groom to whom ] had given her in
the morning. The rogue had counted on
crown for his readiness, and swore the mare
was ready for anything, he having mixed
half pint of strong ale with her mash, not
half an hour before.
So determined to see the end of it, and,
paying the fellow, climbed into tho saddle.
On the summit the Cornish captains were
now met and cordially embracing. IT'S very
sad in these latter times to cali back their
shouts and boyish laughter, SO soon TO be
quenched on Lansdowne slopes or by Bristol
graft. Yet, O favored ones! to chase Vic
tory to grasp her futtering skirt, and so,
with warm, painting cheeks, kissing her, TO
fall, escaping evil days!
How could they Taught For me the late
passionate struggle left me shaken with sobs,
and for the starting tears saw neither moors

the next vale. The slope around ms was piled
with dead aud dying whereof four out OF
every five were rebels and cruelty they

steep hedge, under the which two or three

The Question OF Extending to be Voted on To-
Day-A Big Oder by Another Concern.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La, June lS.-The
question of extending the charter of the
louisiana state lottery came up to-day
in the house. The committee to which
the matter was referred presented TWO
reports-a majority, signed by six mem
bers accepting the 81 900, 900 offered by
the lottery company. and a minority
report signed BY those opposing it. The
matter will be discussed to-day, and
will be acted on tomorrow. During the
discussion Mr. Wells of Richland pre-
sented proposition from another COM
pany composed of New York and En-
glish capitalists, offering TO give the
state 81 ,250, 600 year, or
$3.50 ZOO more than the Louisiana
state lottery, for a lottery privilege.
1t also offered TO increase the bid to
81 800 900 a year. Messrs. Isadore
Newman and II aud B Beer of New
Orleans, and A. NeuERse OF London,
offered TO give security for the new COM
pany. Their offer has still further COM
pIlcated the lottery question, which is
being so holly fought over in the legis-
lature and which is taking up most of
the time of that body. In the Feliciana
election yesterday, which turned wholly
on the lottery question the vote was:
Decker, anti-lottery, $500; Irvine, pro-
lottery, 1868. This was a larger vote than
the district ever polled in any state or
presidential election, and shows how
great the interest felt in the contest. A
test vote in the senate to-day showed
twenty-five for the lottery, twelve
against. A two-thirds vote is required
TO carry the measure, so that the lottery
is apparently short one vote.
