In August, 1864, the Fifth Army Corps,
of which l was an humble part, and
the Ninth Army Corps, a part OF the
Army Of the Potomac, had been sent to
destroy the Weldon railroad. one OF
the main lines running from the South
to Petersburg. Va We struck the
road at the yellow House, six miles
J from Petersburg, and after some sharp
lighting, lasting three days, we des-
troyed the road and telegraph lines az
ithat point and we're well entrenched
across the road. On the 2lst of
August, the last day OF the fight, the
Confederates made a desperate attempt
TO dislodge us.
On that day the Blue Hens Chickens

at daylight. Their line came within
twenty feet Of our works. Several Of
their color sergeants were only ten

great loss. Our brigade captured
seven battle flags.

NOT THIS TIME

1t was tantalizing to have the Fed
eral patronage within his grasp, and
lust as he was about TO close his hand
upon It. to see It vanish beyond his
reach. This was the experience Of ).
Edward Addicks. 1t was also bitter
disappointment to those who have
hoped, that in addition to the little su-
p.nd and Eake-olfs they nave bSen re-
ceiving. the Federal offices would come
their way. Within an hour after the
news came that the President had ap-
pointed Mr. Byrne, every postonice in
Delaware was pre-empted. 1t was an
awful blow to learn that this appoint
ment was personal, and did not carry
with it the recognition of Addicks.
The patronage having vanished into
thin air. there is a return to the de
mand that AddiclSs shall be elected sen
ator. Addicks said the other day tha
two senators would be elected, and tina
he would be one Of them. The cry wa
taken up by every subsidized papel
and lol we have the assurance that
will be done. Yet. there are nine or te
Republicans elected on the distinct VI
derstanding that they shall never vo
for Addicks. and when we regard the
character and unwavering loyalty
Republican ideals, We are as certain
we can be of anything that contains q
human factor, that these men will 1
betray their constituents nor stult
themselves. Addicks cannot be Gle

PACK CARRIERS IN SOUTHERN

l A striking feature of these roads is the number of human beasts of burden" you meet The roads are so bad that there is very considerable risk in con- veying goods of any kind-risk both to the goods and the pack mule that car ries them; consequently large numbers
 of Indians make a living by carrying
 The Mexican Indian carries his load on his back, slung by broad leather belt
 across the forehead. Thus all his limbs
 are perfectly free, and he carries ~long, light stick, like an alpenstock, to steady
 himself in going down steep places or
 in crossing streams. These men will in
 good weather carry load of from one
 hundred to one hundred and fifty
 pounds, over the worst of roads, for a distance of twenty to twenty-five miles a day. They wear no clothing except a
 pair of cotton brooches rolled half way up the thighs, and a pair of leather sandals on the feet; and each man car ries a blanket to roll himself up in at night They eat no meat, their only food being posol (boiled maize ground and mixed with sugar, then rolled into a ball and carried moist) This they break into bowl of water, mix up well to the consistency of thin gruel and drink; and their only fodo consists of this posol and tortilas. The power of endurance displayed by these carriers is onderful.--Chambers Journal.
