Kearney Tho "One-Armod Devil. i"

hHO DGNhs
Of the many noble Generals who
took part in the battles of the PENN
sula, one of the most active and eff
cient was Gen. Kearney. He was
always formost in the fray, and many
times it is said he was observed with
his bride in his teeth, while with his
right arm, the only one he had, grasp
ing the sword, he charged at furious
rate among the enemy. The Confed-
crates styled him the "one-armed
devil, and at the battle of Williams
burg he was watched by them and
their officers, some of the most
accurate sharpshooters being ordered
to draw bead on that one-armed
devil;" yet they did not bring him
down. Finally, Rebel Colonel
ordered his entire regiment-accord-
ing to the statement of a prisoner
taken at the battle--to withdraw their
fire from everything else and center
it ION that officer with one arm" His
order was obeyed, and the entire regi-
ment-the Fifth Northumberland
volley at Gen, Kearney, but ne was
unhurt

The treaty between Grant and Lee,
which terminated the war of the re-
bellfon, was signed at Appomattox
court-house, on the property owned by
a man named Mclean, concerning
whom a Confederate officer told me an
Interesting story. It would seem that
Mr.. Mclean, though striving to keep
himself aloof from wars and rumors Of
wars, was pursued by fatality from
the start to the finish Of the great con-
dict, says Kate Fields Washington.
AT the outbreak of the war Gen.
Beauregard's headquarters were near
Mauassas, on the farm owned by the
same Mclean. There the first engage
ment of moment took place. Gen.
Longstreet and corps were also en-
camped there for a time. When the
firing began there came a volley from
the Federals, which literally tore to
pieces Gen. Beauregard's dinner,
spread on table in the garden at the
rear Of the house. At the close OF the
engagement Mclean picked up such
goods and chattels as remained and
moved to Mississippi, where in course

DeliriOus Bravery of Southern HOtspur.
On the last day of the battle at Pea
Ridge, while the force under Gen.
Sigel was CALAMITY charging the
rebels, and driving them from the
heights they had occupied, one rebel
officer, Captain of a Louisiana company,
seemed resolved to throw away his
life. AS his fellow soldiers retreated,
he advanced further towards our troops
until he was almost alone. He waved
his sword and cried in loud ringing
voice for his men to follow
him, denouncing them as cowards
If they retreated. They needed not
his appeals, and seeing himself deserted
he ran towards our advance, shouting
like mad man and saying something
that sounded like, II am brave as
Cesar. If we are whipped, l do not
want to live. Come en-, you -
Yankeesl' The Union infantry were
anxious tc take this Southern hotspur
prisoner, and would have done so had
not one of their batteries opened from
the left, and its storm of iron swept
down the single life which, so full Of
fierceness, ebbed itself away in the
solder and IMPLYING ground. He was
the son of sugar planter living up
the Bayou La Fourche, and was given
to drunkenness--which, perhaps, ac-
counts for his delirious conduct.

Eeven Rebels oaptured by One Fed.

One of the neatest exploits during
the war, was that performed by Capt
Drake Mckay Of Gen. Mansfield staff
while waiting the Generals arrival at
q house CALLED Moore's Ranch, kind
of summer hotel kept by man named
Moore, at Ocean View. All the white
men and most of the women had fed
1t is said by those who they left be-
hind-to the woods, to prevent being
forced into the rebel service. Capt.
Mckay, while supper was being pre-
pared, mounted his horse and deter
mined to explore the country, followed
only by his negro servant. AS he was
passing a swamp toward evening he
came suddenly upon seven of the Sc
cession troops who were lurking by the
roadside, and were armed with double
barreled guns. The Captain turned in
simultaneously and shouted to his Jim
aginary) company to prepare to charge
and then riding forward rapidly, re-
volver in hand, told the men they were
his prisoners, as his calvary would soon
be upon them, ordered them to dis
charge their pieces and deliver them
to him, which they did without delay.
He then informed them that his only
company was his negro servant, and
directed them to follow him to camp
An hour later, just after Gen. Wool
had returned from Norfolk, the Cap
tain rode to the beach and informed
Col. Cram, as chief of the Generals
stag, that the seven prisoners, whom
he had marched to the beach, were at
his disposal Their arms were taken
away, and on promising to take the
oath of allegiance, the men were at
once dismissed. One of them proved
TO be Moore himself, who came over to
his house, where he found half dozen
Feds in full possession and just pre-
pairing to discuss most comfortable
supper which his obliging colored cook
had got ready for them. Like nearly
all rebel soldiers in that section, he
said he had been forced into the serv.
Zoe, and was only waiting a chance
to run away; but his statements on
this point did not obtain, to say the
least, any more credit than they de-
served.

Mr.. Thomas Nelson Page, in his
book, 'SFhe Old South" has much to
say in praise of the wives and mothers
OF the old regime. The master Of the
plantation, he says, might shift much
of his responsibility upon competent
overseer, but the mistress had no such
means Of relief ''She was mistress,
manager, doctor, counsellor, seam
stress, teacher, housekeeper, slave all
at once. Such woman was told by
her husband that oneof the gates was
broken. swell, my dear" she
answered, eff could sew it with my
needle and thread, would mend it for
you."
In another place Mr.. Page says that
some years ago he was shown worn
and faded letter, written on old Con-
federate paper with pale Confederate
ink. 1t had been taken from the
breast pocket Of dead private soldier
Of Georgia regiment after one of the
battles around Richmond.
1t was from his sweetheart. They
must have been plain and illiterate
people, for it was badly written and
badly spelled. In it she told him that
she loved him; that she had always
loved him since they had gone to
school together in the little school
house in the woods; that she was sorry
she had always treated him so badly,
and that now, if he would get q fur
Tough and come home, she would
marry him.
Then, as if fearful that this tempta-
ton might prove too strong to be re-
sisted, she scrawled a little postscript
across the blue Confederate sheet;
"Don' tcome without furlough, for
if you don't come honorable, l won't
marry you"
