On the 18th Of July, 1854, an attempt
was made TO carry Fort Wagner, near
Charleston, by assault. That the at
tempt was failure and resulted in dis
aster 20 the assaiants, does not In the
last dim the glory OF the men who made
il.
The colored brigade was beaten, but
not TIN it had planted its flags on the
walls OF the fort, and in the assault and
retreat one-half the force was killed or
wounded.
Sergeant Carney regarded the colors
intrusted TO his charge much as one OF
his ancestors on the Congo regarded his
tribal fetish. Disgrace 10 that would
mean objectionable profanity to him.
The assault began, and when within
one hundred Yards of Wagner the man
carrying the flag fell, and Sergeant
Carney seized il on the instant and
dashed forward. He was by the side OF
the gallant young Colonel Shaw when
be leaped the ditch, little thinking that

men Swarmed up the earthwall, only to

Carney was shot in the head and a
bullet passed through his leg below the
knee, smashing and tearing 10 In a nor
rible way. lie succeeded in getting in
out Of the ditch carrying the colors
with him.
When our beaten and demora.ized
forces reached their original lines, they
saw United States flag now and then
rising above the swaying sea grass, and
as il came nearer aud nearer they knew
that the men who bore il was creeping
The firing from Wagner rendered IT
unsafe for the men to venture out. Still
nearer and nearer came the colors, now
rising, now falling, but never out OF
sight for long.
At length, out on the-road in front Of
the Union works, the color bearer ap-
peared. He was on one knee, dragging
his broken leg after him, and his face
was so covered with blood that it was
impossible 20 tell if be was white or
black, for the blood OF all heroes has
the same hue.

ined his papers, or rather Bells papers,
carefully, and be was shocked to learn
that the man whom he represented had
an uncle, colonel in the War Depart
ment, who was awaiting his arrival, and
was ready to Eelp him through.
To meet this man would be disastrous,
so be changed his mind. and determined
to examine the ground and make his
way through as soon as possible TO the
Union lines.
He put up at q retired hotel, where
be remained quietly for week, and
then, one stormy night in early NoVem-
Der, he started to make his way through
to Fortress Monroe.
The story Of his adventures on this
trying journey would make most In
teresting book. At length, after being
out ten days and nights, he ran into the
Union pickets near Williamsburg on the
peninsula
He was taken In as q deserter, but
after time he succeeded in establish
ing his Identity. and was sent on 10
Washington, from which point be sub
sequentlY rejoined his command. Sad
to relate be was killed few months
afterwards.

Told by EZRA u. BnlInes.

agree with one of your writer's who
says il is easy TO be brave in crowd,
and intimates that the true test Of cour-
age is where one is thrown entirely on
his own resources, and his nerve Is the
outcome Of deliberate thought.
Arson Watts was a private in the
Eleventh Kentucky Union Cavalry. he
was of good family in Hardin county,
and might have had a commission
when the regiment was raised in 1862
had he been so inclined, but he chose to
serve 10 the ranks.
Watts was well educated, a good
horseman, and as brave as they make
them. But the incident In cOnsidera-
ti0n shows an amount Of nerve that
apalls when one considers that there
was really no good reason for running
into such a danger.
Watts was captured at Camp0ells
Station in East Tennessee, and had he
not been wounded he might have been
sent directly on to Belle Isle with the
two or three hundred men taken in that
action by Longstreet's advance In Octo-
Der, 1853.
Like many OF the other prisoners,
Watts had been despoied Of his boots,
hat and tunic, and compelled to attire
himself in the grey but dilapidated
clothing Of his CaDtOrs.

I have spoken with Confederate and
Union soldiers who took partin the deS-
perate battle of AlIatOona Pass, In
Georgia, on the 5th OF October, 1864,
and an are agreed that for the numbers
engaged and the bloody nature OF the
work. 10 has no parallel In the history
OF our war.
General John NJ. Corse, late a resi-
dent Of Boston. with about two thouS-
and men, was pressed in by General
French, Of Hoods command, with a
force estimated at nine thousand, all
trained and tried veterans.
Although hardly one-fourth the enc
my in numbers, we had vastly the ad-
vantage in position, and thanks to
Colonel, afterwards General Tourtelette,
who had had command before We came
down from Atlanta, the place was well
fortified, though it was deficient in ar
tulery and particularly In artillery am
muuitiOn.
The hymn Hold the Fort FOR I Am
Coming" had its origin in this fight
Knowing that CorSe was pressed in,
Sherman, twenty miles away, signalled,
for the telegraph lines were destroyed,
"Can you hold out, help is comiug?' To
which 10 is said Corse signalled back the
confident but rather proiane response,
"TU hold out till HI freezes oyer.'

i know the story has been told be-
fore, but one who knew the little hero
7 venture 20 tell it again. We associate
timidity with childhood, yet one OF the
most gallant soldiers i ever met with
was a private TO the Second Florida. l
have forgotten the youths name, but
he was only fourteea, and we found him
still rlucky. though wounded, trying 10

had fled from the crest Of Missionary
Ridge.
johnny elem is the hero OF whom /
write. When I first saw him ia the
fall OF 1868 he was a drummer In the
Twenty-second Michigan, frequently,
when there was no drumming TO do,
carrying the guidon and acting as
marker.
AT this time be was thirteen and
small enough for his age: indeed, i
never before nor since saw such mite
of boy in uniform and attached TO a
command that was ready for business.
It was understood that he was an
orphan, born in Ohio, and that in some
way be drlfted OH till he fell in with
the gallant Michiganders, who fairly
idolized him.
The boy must have come OF good
stock, for he was gentle 10 his manners,

farm house, where they remained for
several hours. On the following day
the engagement was first made known.
The Emperor sent a handsome purse
some years later 90 the old farmer whose
house, ten years before, had sheltered
him and his future wife. In an address
not long ago be spoke OF the Empress
TO marked terms OF affection, and there
is no doubt that their married life is
happy, and they are deeply attached TO
each other.
The Empress Of Russia, Marie Fec
dorovna, sister OF Alexandra, the
Princess of Wales, was one of the three
daughters OF King Christian, OF Den
mark, the remaining one being Princess
Thvra. These charming girls were
brought no in the plainest manner and
with less luxury than the daughters or
any noble house in England. Princess
Dagmar was engaged TO be married TO
Nicholas, the father Of the present
Car. and was present az the deathoed
OF her betrothed at Nice, where be died
OF consumption, when the dying
man bes0ught her 20 become the
wife of his brother Alexander. she
was discOhs0late, but time smOothed her
sorrow somewhat, and she was re-
ceived pleasantly at So. Petersburg
where through her lovable disposition
and great tact she became everybody's
.favorite. She was married 40 81
Petersburg October 2S, 1866, and since
then she has rested in the affection OF
her giant lord and master, the Car OF
all the Russias. Her son, the Caro-
witch, resembles her much more than
his royal father, and her other sons,
George and Michael, have ciose resem-
bIauce 20 the mother. Heg deuel. ters- the
Princess Nenia, and her younger sister,
the Grand Duchess Olga, almost invari-
ably accompany her. The Car is
model husband, and no breath Of SLAM
der has ever touched their married re-
.ali0as Recently the venerable Arch
bishop NIkanor OF Odessa said that the
august couple could DO pointed TO as an
example Of an ideal Christian union.
The Czarina delights 10 visiting her sis
Ter Alexandria, and best loves to do so
40 their old girihood's home in bright
Denmark. There are few happier and
more beloved women In the world than
the Empress OF Russia.

There may have been more desperate
battles than Chicamauga, but / must
confess II was never in one. 10 is par
ticularlv memorable 70 me on another
account, and that is, that for the
first time j felt that we we're badly
licked. something that had not hap
pened To- the Army OF the Cumberland
up 20 this time, and which was5deSJined
not 90 be repeated.
Attic battle Of Chicamauga Johnny
Glenn lost his guidoD, but instead OF
going 90 the rear, as he was told, be
picked up musket, there were thou
sands scattered about that awful sum
mer day, aud braVely took bis place 10
the ranks
Johnuv's regiment did a good deal OF
firing lying down that day, and ne fol-
lowed the fashion OF his comrades and
loaded sud fred as rapidly as the best.
Late In the afternoon the regiment
fell back 10 the hill which Thomas
made immortal, but Johnny did not
hear the order. he was loft almost
alone in the whirl of the battle, and did
not discover his danger till he heard
the weI-known yels OF the enemy
about him.
Johnny had his piece loaded, when
he sprang TO his feet and started TO run
fer the bin, which was now a core Of
fire. A mounted Confederate officer
who must have. been sLrpried and
amused at sight OF this little mite OF a
soldier in blue, refined ia and shouted:
surrender YOU little son Of a -.
As Johnny looked up he brought his
niece 90 an "Order arms" slipped his
hand Co the hammer, cooked 10 and as
Quickly raised the musset and fired,
and the officer reeled aud fell from the
saddle.
ME next minute the boy. with a
hundred others, was Scooped up q
prisoner. but before be had gone back
a hundred yards be was reCaptured by
his own regiment, as were his compan-
ions. and carried up the hill amid ring
ing cheers.
After the battle General Rosscrans
made the BOY sergeant, and be wore
the chevrons with as much pride as ever
a general felt ia his stars. Secretary
Chase forwarded him a silver medal
and the bov would have been sent 20
West Point, but he lacked four years Of
the legal age.
After this Johnny Glen became an
orderly as headquarters, and be per
