From this well protected spot he had in

until his fire becoming so destructive a
battery was ordered to direct several
solid shot at his temporary abode. One
of these caused a splinter of stone to

sharpshooter was found in his last sleep
with peaceful smile on his face, while
the rifle with which he had done the
damage was leaning up against the

A FRuIrLEss EXPEDITION.
Disastrous Raid by Gen. stoneman in
Georgia in July, 1864

Disastrous Raid by Gen. stoneman in
Georgia in July, 1864.
In July, 1864, Gen. Sherman sent out
several cavalry expeditions TO destroy
the railroads in the vicinity OF Atlanta,
Ga Most Of the raids were successful,
bnt one undertaken by Gen. Stoneman
ended disastrously. The object Of this
particular expedition was to cripple the
Macon and Western road. Gen. Stone
man had an effective cavalry force of
five thousand men. So confident of
success was he that at the moment of
starting he asked leave, after fulfilling
his orders, to proceed TO Macon and An
Jacksonville and release the prisoners
held there. Gen. Sherman after some
hesitation consented On the 9th of
July the command started, and, reach
ing the Georgia railroad, followed that
line as far as Covington, whence il pro-
ceeded south toward Macon, arriving
in the vicinity of that city on the S0th.
Here a large number of bridges and
locomotives and several trains loaded
with quartermasters' supplies were de-
stroyed. Hearing that the prisoners in
Macon had been sent on to Charleston,
Gen Stoneman decided to return the
way he had come without trying to go
TO Andersonville. On the morning of
the 31st when about twenty miles from
Macon he met a heavy force on his
front The ground being unfavorable
for a cavalry battle, he dismounted part
of his command and threw them for
ward as skirmishers. He soon found
himself surrounded, and after several
fruitless attempts 10 make head against
the enemy gave orders to the greater
part of his force to break through the
opposing lines if possible, while he,
with several hundred men and section
of artillery, occupied the attention of
the enemy. He was, after a sharp bat
tie, compelled to surrender with about
half his force. The remainder escaped
and reached the federal lines in safety.

MUSICAL RATTLERS.

Reptiles Whose Sympathies We're With
the Southern Cause.
81 once knew an old southerner in
Arkansas who had a colony of rattle
snakes that were trained to play Dixie
with their rattles to his intense edifca-
tion," said Col. j. S. Evans, of Meridian,
Miss. THE man belonged to my regi-
ment during the war, and he had a rat
tlesnake that followed him all through
the Louisiana campaign like faithful
dog. He didn't join the army until
near the close of the trouble, and he
brought his snake with him. When the
reptile got tired on the march her mas
ter would coil her around his neck and
trudged along with his pet until camp
was struck. At night he put the snake
in circle formed with a hair rope, so
as to keep her from crawling around to
the dread of other soldiers. During
battle that snake would dart in and out
between the ranks of the fighting men
until she found her master, when she
would stick her tail straight into the
air and rattle off the first few bars OF
Dixie with pronounced distinctn IS
anu tlc ulOSb ccbldLlC utllHnt+ ltti
master had, of course, taught her to 10
it. After the war he took his snake
back to the Arkansas farm, and in
little while her progeny was wonder
full When l went 10 see him fifteen
years ago his barnyard was given over
to rattlesnakes, and on signal from
him, by ringing a bell, the reptiles
would dash to the center of the yard,
and the clang of Dixie that the swift
movements of their tails produced was
as deafening as it was inspiring.
haven't told this story before, because
it sounds preposterous, but am willing
to make affidavit to its truth My
friends farm lies in what is known as
Laconia Circle, on the west side of the
river, opposite Concordia, Miss. He is
dead now, and the widow and children
have rid the place of the band of
snal1es-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
