GEN. JOE JoHNsToN's STORY.
A Soldiers First Sight of His Four
Year-Old Child.

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
Perhaps the most touching incident
arising in connection with the war that
/ now recall came to my notice On a
railway train which also bore a pas
senger, the very pretty young wife of
a soldier, who by daring bravery had
secured promotion from the ranks to
q Confederate captaincy. The wife
was a Pennsylvania girl, whom he had
met while visiting in the north, had
married and taken to his southern
home just before the breaking out Of
war.
He was one of the first to enlist in
the Confederate army; and to devote
himself more completely to the cause
he sent his wife, at the first boom of
the guns at Fort Sumter, back to her
parents in Pennsylvania, to remain
till the great struggle was ended.
Now, in 1866, five years after their
separation, she was or her way south
to rejoin husband and place in his
arms their four-year-old daughter,
whom he had never seen.
1t was not long before all the pas
sengers on u car knew the story,
and there was not a man among us
who did not feel a tenderness for and
o protecting interest in both. There
nsver was a woman whose heart was
10 ore full of love and joy. She could
do nothing but talk of the captain,
and wondered If he had changed so
that she could not recognize him, or
IL he would know his little daughter If
he met her in the street by her resem-
blance to himself, which, as he had
never set eyes on her, did not seem
probable. Throughout that long days
ride we all entered heartily into that
dear little woman's hopes, fears,
doubts and joys, and shared them to
such an extent that we were quite as
anxious to see the captain as she was.
We reached our journeys end, and
before the train had fairly stopped a
tall, elegantly ~proportioned fellow of
81 came bounding into our car The
little woman gave such a scream OF
Joy as I a never forget, and in less
time than / can tell 1t, was standing in
the cal aisle clasped in the young
soldiers manly arms, and tears of JOY
ur utterable coursed down two beauti-
full young faces as their lips met. For
my own part, my own eyes were so
fun Of binding moisture that ! could
see nothing when the proud and hap
py. young wife and mother led her
husband for the first time to the place
where their little child lay sleeping.

dered the express messenger to opeI
the door. But the messenger refused
to do 30. The robbers uncoupled the
express car, returned to the engine
and backed the train, leaving the ex-
press car separated. Meantime the
express messenger had seized the OPP
~portunity to step out of the CTR.
After breaking the train in two the
robbers returned to the express car
and with heavy charges of dynamite
blew the door open. Entering the car
they attacked two small safes which
they succeeded in opening. The mes
ssnger thought the robbers did not
succeed in getting into the big safe
and consequently they could not have
secured much money. The mail car
was also visited by the robbers and
registered letters taken.
The explosions set fire to the
car, and when the robbers left it was
a mass OF flames. The train crew
worked like Trojans, but were unable
to save 1t. The car and contents were
almost totally destroyed.

shaken up and frightened, but no INT
was injured.
