Description of the Blowing Up of the City q

Madison by Comrade Present by Substitute.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
Wagner. of Tyler, Tex, wants somebody,
who was there, to write concerning the ex-
plosion which occurred on the City of
Madison, at the levee in Vicksburg, soon
same as Grover Cleveland was in the
army, and was blown up by substitute, as
he served his country. 1t was like this: L
was, during the siege, ordnance officer of
the Thirteenth Corps, and after the sur
render was detailed to inventory the ord
nance and ordnance stores then in the
rebel forts and intrenchments, which duty
was duly performed. My headquarters
were on the steamboat Metropolitan,
which boat was loaded with the captured
small arms and artillery and sent to, /
think. the Rock Island Arsenal. My head
quarters were then transferred to the City
of Madison, and she was loaded with the
captured ammunition. In the meantime |
was taken sick and sent to Memphis and
placed in hospital, and Lieut.. Mitchell,
Of. think, the 18th Ohio Battery, was de-
tailed to attend to my duties until l should
return. He was on board the boat when
she blew up, as were all the records, books
and papers pertaining &c the business of
the Ordnance Department of the Thir-
teenth Corps, as well as the copy of in
ventory of captured arms and ammunition
and most of my personal effects.
Comrade A. II. Pratt, Of the Chicago
Mercantile Battery, was my clerk, and
was Oh the levee, near by the boat, when
the explosion occurred, and but for the
protection of an old barge, which was out
of thewater, would undoubtedly have been
killed by flying missiles. lie is now living
in Chicago, and could, If he would, give a
graphic description of the event. AS to
the true cause of the explosion, it will
never be known, but is was supposed to be
from the careless handling of percussion
shells in the hold.

morning, and we are up on top of noun
tain, across the river and overlooking the
town of Chattanooga. We moved late
yesterday, and are here for the purpose
of keeping the rebs off in this direction.
In town the churches, houses and all pub
lie buildings are filed with wounded, be-
sides those who are only slightly hurt. who
are to be seen everywhere walking about.
We are short of rations, and had Meth
er coffee nor crackers for breakfast, only
a small piece of bacon each-coffee and
sugar gone totally. All baggage KNAPP
sacks, tents, etc. were left at Bridgeport,
and we can only sleep during the first part
of the night on account of the chilly morn
ing air.
Sunday.-Yes, it is Sunday at home,
but very little of it can be seen here. We
have no clean linen to put on this morn
ing no backing to use on shoes, no church
bells to listen to, and we are about camp
the same as any other day of the week.

For Tobacco Plants.

One Of the best plans to push the
growth Of young tobacco plants, says
Z. NJ. Pace in the Wilson IL. C.) Mir
ror. is as follows Take barrel that
will hold some fifty gallons. till a
gIano sack half full Of good, rich ma
nure, tie the sack half way up. and
then put in the barrel with swamp or
branch water well water is not so
good unless you draw it and let it
stand all night; raise the bag several
times and let it down in the water,
using it as pump. Then lift the
bag above the barrel. putting two
sticks under the sack large enough to
hold it and small enough to make the
weights bend the sticks, 50 as to sag
in the middle. to let the liquid drop
in the barrel. Remove the bag when
the dripping is over Now YOU have
a barrel Of liquid. which is too strong
for your plants. So fill the barrel
with swamp or branch water and
after pumping it with a hoe it Is
ready for use. You might if you will
add three pounds Of nitrate Of soda,
which can be had for about three
cents pound from any merchant
who handles fertilizers. Apply this
liquid thus made every other evening
for three evenings, or three times a
week, rain or shine. When this is
done you can stand by and see the
plants grow. A barrel OF water
