Adventure Of Two Young CavaIrymen In Rebel Territory
Hunting for Their Regiment.

Editor National Tribune: During the fore
part of March, 1854, while the rebel army
under Longstreet was lying at Strawberry
Plains, Tenn, !, with nine others OF my
company, under command of Serg't Jas
Anderson, was sent to relieve squad OF
cavalrymen stationed at crossing OF the
Holston River, about Is miles above Straw
berry Plains. We were there five days,
and during that time | had obtained IN
formation that an old rebel living some
seven miles farther up the river had a
quantity of bacon and ham secreted in a
log hut in the dense timber and brush,
some distance from his house. As we
were in those palmy days of war living
on cornmeal straight, short ratiOns at
that, | determined to have some of that
hog meat. Tapping the Sergeant to see
if he was hungry for ham, and finding
that he would not permit anyone to leave
our post, | then held counsel with my
mess -cilum, Amasy Meyers, and we ar
ranged a plan whereby we made center
shot, and also came near losing the num-
ber of our mess.
Orders came for our squad to report to
Company, at Blain's Crossroads, prepara-
tory to joining regiment and brigade, when
were ordered to march to a point in Pow
ellis Valley some IS miles northwest from
the Crossroads Now was the opportunity
for Meyers and me to make our raid Tor
grub. Being relieved about noon. we

Dewey's Great Popularity.

Twenty-eight pOstOfficeS in as many
States have been named Dewey after the
hero of Manila. This is only four less
than those named after Washington.
Over 800 other applications are on the
postal files. Seventy new Tennessee
offices have asked for the name. Ken
lucky wants so and Alabama 45. Only
one Office in each State can bear the
name. Out of the 2S granted two had
been named before the battle of Manila.

the meat ranch.

no information about
anything. We entered
the timber, and after
rowling around awhile
truck a trail, and soon
sighted the smokehouse:
The nut was hanging full
of choice ham and bacon.

During July, our last month in the
service, we were astOnished several
times by being required TO drill. Our alb
sent officers returned to us from detached
service, rolls were made, our equipage
turned over to Uncle Samuel, and on
July 20, 1865, at Goldsboro, N. c., we
were mustered out, after four years of
service. What relief from an almost
unbroken strain, Did the boys reioice'

assuredly they did. But the curtain drops,

The turning in of our "two-tOwel

is said that many, in the hurry and ex-
citement of the occasion, actually lost
their half-tents, but later discovered they
had inadvertently pocketed the same as
kerchiefs! No time was lost, for we start

The Department of Agriculture will in
troduce into the United States the great
honey bees found in the Philippines
These bees are twice as large as those of
this country, and produce five or six times
as much honey. They have extra long
tongues, and can reach the nectar in
many flowers that our own variety can
not. While this move will be of material
benefit, it will not be any more so than
HcStetter's Stomach Bitters, which
reaches and cures many ailments that
ether remedies fall short of. Among them
biliousness constipation, malaria, wasting
diseases, and affections of the kidneys
and blood. We especially recommend the
Bitters to men and women whose ner-
vous systems are shattered.

~ NEWS OF NORFOLK ON PAGES TWO THREE AND SIX
brought. There was n judgment for
plaintiff and defendants appealed.

Tie court says.
Inc plaintiff alleged in his petition
that the ordinance was demonstrations
nj and we presume the trial court took
that view OF it. The contention of APP
pcllee is that, rs the Legislature and
courts OF this State have recognized
dogs rs property. the said ordinance is
in deroSation OF the constitution pro-
vision requiring taxes TO be equal and
uniform. and therefore void. The tax
levied by the ordinance is not an ad
valorem tax. but Is the exercise of the
police power With which the town is
invested. These powers 10 levy an ad
valorem tax. and to prescribe certain
regulations for the public good. though
co-eNistent. are distinct. The exercise
OF the latter is not restricted by the
former. Tho great weight of authority
is tha: a license tax upon dogs is the
exercise of police power, and is not i'll
conflict with the provision of the con-
stitutlon in regard to taxes being equal
and uniform. which provision is con
tanned in majority. if not all. of the
state constructions. After a careful
consideration of the question we have
reached the conclusion that the ordi-
nance is not unconstitutional. but valid
its enactment being wiyhn the proper
exercise OF the police power with which
the town of Bells was invested. The
ordinance being valid. and the writ be
me- issued by the proper authority. and
regular on its face. it afforded protec-
ton To appellant. and he is ndt liable
for false Imprisonment.
We VIII now consider the other
branch of the casc.-that of malicious
prosecution. 1t is conceded that if
Nidd acted maliciously. and wthou;
probable cause. in making the COM
plant which was the basis of the war
rant of arrest. he would he liable TO the
plaintiff for the consequences o: his act
ana the regularity of the warrant
would not shield him. But the sure
Ties on his official bond would not be
Liable. for they are only Responsible for
wrongs perpetrated by him in the cx-
crcise of his official capacity. and the
making of the complaint was not the
exercise of an official function. The
court therefore. erred in instructing
the jury. if the prosecution was malic-
ious. to find against AL the defend
arts
