BY SIR ARTHUR JAMES LYON-FREMANTLE,
KcM G. c. B. new Lieutenant-General, British Army

/ called on Capt. Matthews. and told him
my earnest desire 10 get on towards John-
ston's army at all risks. He kindly intro
duced me to the conductor of a locomotive,
who offered to take me to within few
miles Of jackson, if he was not cut of by
the enemy, which seemed extremely prob
able | seated myself, in company with
about 20 soldiers, on the engine, and we
started towards jackson.
The conductor stopped the engine at !
o'clock, and put us out at spot olstant
nine miles from Jackson; and as ] could
procure no shelter, food or conveyance
there, ] found myself in a terrible fix.
At this juncture French 10y rode up
on horseback, and volunteered TO carry
my saddle bags as far as jackson, If
could walk and carry the remainder.
Gladly accepting this unexpected offer,
] started with him 10 walk up the railroad,
as he assured me the Yankees really had
gone; and during the Journey he gave me
a description Of their conduct during the
short time they rad occupied the city.
At tie entrance 10 the town the French
boy took me to the house Of his relatives,
and handed me my saddlebags. These

Having read numerous accounts of persons
making money easily, prompts me to give
my experience. During the past few years
i have tried selling various specialties, Dish
Washers being included, but usually met
with failure until | tried the Imperial Dish
Washer. Since taking up this work | have
made from $lO0 to $3.50 per month, and only
worked part of the time.
1t requires little or no ability to sell the
Imperial Dish Washer, as it is only necessary
to show it in operation to make sales When
the housekeeper once sees it wash dry and
polish the dishes in 3 minutes without the
operator wetting her hands, it requires little
or no argument to make SALE
If any of our readers desire a profitable
and genteel employment | would strongly
recommend the business of selling these Dish
Washers. Ladies can do the work as well as
men. No experience is necessary.
You can secure full particulars and get o
start in the business by writing to the I'M
perial Dish Washer Co., st. Louis, Missouri.

Says another eyewitness:

Shells burst with the greatest rapidity in
every portion of the work, hurting the loose
brick and stone in all directions. breaking the
windows, and setting fire to whatever wood
work they burst against. The solid shot
firing OF the enemy's batteries, and particu-
larly of Fort MOultrie, was directed at the
barbette [unsheltered] guns of Fort Sum
ter, disabling one ten-inch columbiad,
lthey had but two, one eight inch column
bad, one fortytwO FOUNDER, and two
eight-inch seac"ast hOwitzers, and also tear
ing large portion of the parapet away
The fire from the batteries on Cummins'
Point was scattered over the whole of the
gorge or rear of the fort till it looked like q
sieve. The explosion Of shells, and the guam
tity of deadly missiles that were hurled in
every direction end at every instant OF time
made it almost certain death to go ont Of the
lower tier OF casemates. and also made the
working OF the barbette or upper uncovered
guns, which contained all our heaviest metal
and by which alone we could throw Shells
quite impossible.
During the first day there was hardly an
instant of time THAT there was a cessation of
the whizzing of balls, which were sometimes
coming half a dozen at once. There was not
a portion of the work which was not taken in
reverse from mortars.

nished her quota of troops under the
two calls, Governor Holcomb entered
a protest to the acknowledgement at
Washington, and received a reply ex-
planning the mistake. The false report
caused a rush of offers from persons

the affair as Nebraska had furnished
