horseman, andhad fallen atunned and
senseless to the ground, and when he
had recovered his wits sufficiently to
gaze around, the tide of battle had
swept away, and not even sound Of
firearms gave him signal where were
frisnd or foe. He had risen and shaken
himself, and found TO his delight that,
though bruised in body, no bones were
broken. But he was not alone A few
feet away strange scene had presented
itself. Prone on the ground, with his
face to the earth, lay the figure of a
man, while a horse, with torn bride
aud tnrned saddle, stood over him, sniff
fing with distendcd nostrils the pros
trate form Of It's master. The animal
had not run away at Franks approach,
but had permitted him to capture and
caress him without sign of nervous
ness. Having tcthered the horse to- q
tree, Frank had turned his attention to
the man, whom he found to be young
Confederate cavalry officer, shot through
the leg and literally bleeding to death.
1t had not taken him long to fashion a
rough tourinquet of leather strap
and piece of wood, and to revive the
wounded boy with water from neigh
boring creek; SO when he had done all
to make him comfortable, he had
mounted the horse and sped for assist
ance.
And now he found himself, after
hours Of useless riding cut off from
further hope by this turbid stream
"A cold day in latter March had passed
away; pale and cheerless sun, that
had cast no heat on the leahess scenery,
had sunk, and the darkness of q stormy
night was coming on rapidly. On the
brink Of the torrent he had reined up
his weary and Undiscovered horse, and
by the light of day that yet fingered
in the sky, had seen far away on the
opposite bank the indistinct outlines OF
a house.
"Swim the river / must" he NUT
tered, "but death may be the pen
atty"
He knew that in his rear, the way
they had marched lay wastes of mo-
rasses and dense pine woods, inhabited
only by the few wild animals civilian
ton had driven to its recesses. As he
looked anxiously at the house, the abode
evidently of some planter, its out
lines disappeared in the gathering
gloom Of night; but lights were begin
ming to sparkle cheerfully through its
mnay windows. Could those who were
comfortably, perhaps luxuriously, seat
ed within but know that there was a
fellow-being on the eve perhaps of per-
ishing helplessly amid the dark flow of
that deep roaring river! Again and
again be hallooed loudly, but in vain.
"Ah, II l should perish here-such a
fate" thought he, shuddering. "To be
cast drowned corpse on some lonely
swamp, and TO be found and stripped by
some reckless woodsman who will never
even send word Of my fate to the dear
ones at Meltonburg."
With brief invocation on his lips, he
gave the horse the rein, and with a
fierce and angry snort the gallant beast

"What news from the river, Winters?''
1.-THE worst, General. Six gunboats
have advanced-two are disabled and
are drifting helplessly down the stream,
while the others seem likely to follow"
'Ahl then, after all, the blow must
be struck on land!'
And General Grant passed on, a
strange, cold CLEAN of determination
lighting his usually impassive features.
Meanwhile It was faring but badly
with the hapless garrison. On the
night of the 14th council Of war was
held by the beleaguered commanders.
They had done all that mortal men
could do, and knew that the end was
come. General Floyd turned over the
command 10 General Pillow, taking,
however, his brigade across the river,
and Pillow turned 1t over again TO Buck
ner, succeeding, too, himself, in escap-
ing in a wood scow.
At daylight Grant was ready for the
Anal assault. But scel the white flag
waves and an officer comes from the
beleageured ranks with offers Of capitu-
iation. Grants terms seem hard:
Nothing but unconditional and Inn
mediate surrender" he cried, ''or | will
move upon your works."
Then Buclsner sent back the bitter
message: Necessity compels me to &c

CHAPTER x.
IN THE TOLLS,

But bark! Louder sounds the thun-
dering storm of battle. From far and
wide the mailed clans are gathering for
the fierce struggle that shall battle so
many fields in blood. The South is wild
with the alarms Of war. Johnston has
marshaled his troops at Corinth, where
Deauregard has concentrated forces,
Bragg has come from Florida, Polk from
the Mississippi and Price and Van Dorm
are marching at the head of thirty
thousand men from Arkansas.
And the Northern heroes muster for
the fray by thousands. sherman has
joined the Tennessee expedition, Buell.
Is hurrying from Nashville, and Smith,
with forty thousand soldiers and seven
ty transports, has pitched his tents at
Pittsburgh Landing, an obscure spot,
whose name ere long shall darken the
page OF history; and Grant is there, a
shadowy picture in the background at
FIRST, but soon to take the leadership Of
that vast array. Like two huge, angry
monsters, those great armies lie, but
thirty miles apart
On q plateau, two miles from the
Landing, stood log Westinghouse,
known rs Shiloh Church, which has
4 given its name to the bloody battle
fought near its peaceful walls.
Smith was in the throes of death, and
Grant was in command, with Sherman
for his ssaunch right hand, while on the
other side of the river Buell. with forty
thousand men was but few miles dis
tant.
And Beauregard and Johnston at
Corinth knew that their only hope was
to crush Grants army before Buell.
could reach it.
On the third Of April the Southern
host stole noiselcssly from. their strong
hold, and on the fifth camped on the
wet gound, without fires, at q spot
scarce mile from the Federal piclzets.
At dawn on Sunday morning, while
Grant, little suspccting the danger that
threatened him, had crossed the river to
consult Buell., the storm burst; for
hardly had the pail OF night lifted than
from the woods poured forth the South

At eight o'clock Grant returned to

night at IL o'clock, aged % years.
TIE young man was taken sick about

pected for two or three days, He
was a quiet, exemplary young man,
and was much admired by his asso.

Free silver is as much fiat money

traction of the currency" but it does
not favor the issue of silver money

Come, Bro Brooks; you ought to
go and talk with Secretary Foster
about this before you write any
more. He says this fiat silver you
are talking about, which costs the
government 100 cents per ounce or 70
cents on the dollar is on parity with
gold and that free coinage would
make this same silver worth l29
clnts per ounce or 100 cents on the
dollar. Now where is your fiat sill
