While he still stood gazing on the works
OF the enemy, some one said;
Look down the riverW
Turning his eyes toward the river, which
was in full view, he saw the Commodore's
little feet Of FIVE guns-boats steaming
towards the fort The st. Louis, Louisville
and Pittsburg were iron clads, and the gun
boats Tyler and Conestoga were OF wood.
Captain Mason expected the conflict to
commence at once but in this he was mis-
taken, for after the exchange OF a dozen
shots the boats fell back, and it was three
o'clock in the afternoon before the Commo-
dore began the battle IN earnest. -.

CHAPTER VIII.

On the 7th Of November, 1881, the Missis
suppl river was low, 80 that the banks were
higher than the heads OF the men standing
on the upper decks Of the steamer. From
cornfield, woods and all along the shore
Confederate rlfiemen were blazing away at
the retreating boats. The rebels were back
some distance from the river, so their hre
was high and did but little harm. The
smoke-stacks were thickly peppered with
bullets, but only three men were wounded
after reaching the boats, two Of whom were
soldiers, and one a member of Captain
MAson's company
On reaching the boat, BiackhAwk, the
negro wonder, had laid down his musket
and resumed his place N fireman ut one Of
the great furnaces.
On reaching the deck General Grant, al
most completely worn out by exertion and
the nervous strain, went TO the captain 3

ing through the air, now darkened with
smoke.
For an hour the boats were enveloped in q
dark vapor from which the sullen flashes OF
fire and death issued. While the gun boats
were making such sad havoc among the
land batteries and dismounting gun after
gun, the feet was getting considerably
pounded by the rebel guns.
The leading boat was within two hundred
yards Of the river, and the roar Of cannon
incessant. At such close quarters the exc
cution must be terrible, and Luke saw one
boat after another dropping down the river
vsibly disabled. The whole feet soon fol-
lowed, and the engagement for the day was
over.
The wild cheer from the rebel works gave
evidence that they supposed they had gained
q victory.
Captain Mason was still watching the DIS
abled boats when the Adjutant came gal
Looping by and told him TO form his men.
Fall n" cried Captain Mason.
"Oh, thunderl more mud tramping,"
growled Corporal Max.
The regiment was soon in line, and head
ed by the iron-gray- haired Colonel, who
went on foot leading his horse, they moved
on TO the right until they came TO McCler-
nand's division, which they had been or
dered to support.
Two or three regiments joined the divis-
ion, and all prepared TO pass the night mis-
erably enough.
The sun went down on the night of the
l4th OF February, 1852, leaving the army
confronting Fort Donelson in any thing but
comfortable condition The weather had
turned intensely cold; the men were with
out tents aud could not keep fires.
An occasional firing had been kept up all
along the line Of works, and Berges' sharp
shooters had during the day kept line Of
batteries silent
The ground froxe hard that night, and
the soldiers, without fire or blankets, suf-
fered severely. Not being able to lie upon the
ground, most preferred standing or stamp
ing or dancing TO keep their feet from freez-
ing

all live. Look this point up and the
reader and the local dealer will see
the advantage sought to be fostered
by this paper. And it has all along
been so.
The streets Of Wahpeton have been
lively the past few days, the rain
having given the people chance
to rest the threshing crews and come
to the city and trade. The Wah-
peton dealers are loading up in large
proportions to accommodate the trade
tributary to this city, and this is
right. The Wahpeton dealers should
buy carefully--dividing the trade so
as to be handled advantageously, and
then selling at as moderate prices as
are consistent with prudent business
principles, every man would thus do
his part in proving to our COM
munity friends that il pays men to
come to Wahpeton to trade. Wal-
peton's business men must get to-
gether in q commercial sense, sup
porting that which is deserving, and
then with a steady and long pull

will take permanently upward ten

John p. Reeder Nominated.

The convention acted wisely, yes.

Reeder for commissioner for this
district. Mr.. Reeder is compara-
lively pioneer citizen. having been
extensively engaged in merchandise

or more, and in that time has built
for himself a name second to none in
the county for integrity and business
prudence--and the unanimity with
which the Democratic electors of the
city settled upon him, is indeed very
complimentary to him.
Some people imagine that the
acceptance of this nomination and
the election to the dwties imposed.
will be a damage ia Mr.. Reeder's
business. But he incidentally set
these points at rest the other day in
remark to The TIMES, that '.if a
man accent such position and do
his duty, honestly and conscientiously,
it ought not to he a hindrance to
him--nor do him any harm at ALL"
And another thing, said Mr.. Reeder I:

might be In it for him. And OF
