The officers in garrisons at Uskub
and three adjoining towns recently
sent a joint petition to the sultan
pointing out that they had received no

petitioned.

Gen. Fred Grants son, L. s. the
third, is at West Point, now first

in his course his father was somewhat
anxious about him and wrote to an
official of the academy, contemporary
of his own, asking how the lad was
getting along. He received this reas-
surfing if somewhat assembling re-

stands higher in everything than you
did in anything" The general tells

II reported to have done. I believe,
however, that when he was Dragging
in Stevensburg about being "a deserter
from Capt. So-and-So's company of the
Second South Carolina, it was noted
by the citizens. SO, when that captain
came along with his company, most Of
the officers being known in Stevens
burg from being camped there pre-
viously and at this time two weeks,
some of the old citizens FASTENED to in
form him that man who claimed to
be deserter from his company was a
prisoner at the crossroads, and so he
went up and recognized him.
The deserter was shot to death near
the Second South Carolina camp, on a
ridge southeast of Norman's MILL and,
as the regiment was ordered away i'm
medlately, they left the body lying on
the ground covered by a blanket

son, not knowing that Longstreet
ranked him, and therefore would not
receive any orders from him. His re-
mains were removed to the Culpepper
national cemetery after the war. He
was tried and executed over four miles
from SteYensburg, toward redericks-
burg.
The confederate deserter, ! was in
formed, belonged to the Second South
Carolina cavalry, and went to the
union army and enlisted in cavalry
regiment in the tall of 1862. Soon
thereafter he was with union scout
Ing party which came to Stevens burg,
not knowing that his former regiment
and other confederate cavalry were
camped near by. As he sat on his horse
in the streets of Stevens burg, he boast
ed to the citizens that he was Il de-
serter from the confederates, and was
going to make it hot for them. Soon
after his party left the village and
was pursued by detachment of the
Fourth Virginia cavalry, who picked
him up down the road and brought him
back to StevenSburg.
The old citizens tell that while the
detachment was at the crossroads at
Stevensburg to allow the Second South
Carolina cavalry to pass coming from
Raccoon ford, this man saw his for
mer captain at the head of his com
pany, and shouted to him: Hello, Cap.
Don't you know me?" The captain
hearing a familiar voice emanating
from a man in blue uniform, rode up
to him and recognized him. and he
was tried and executed as a deserter
near Norman's mill.
My opinion is that no man would
be such fool to TO do as this deserter

THE FATE OF A SCOUT.
Daring Deed That Cost the Life of
of n Brave Man During the
Civil War.

When Lee moved his army northward,
going to meet his repulse at Antietam,
he sent Longstreet's corps across the
Rapidan at Raccoon ford on August
20, while Jackson's corps proceeded up
the Orange turnpike on the south side.
Fitz Lees cavalry preceded Long
street, while Stuart, moving directly
forward, passed through Stevensburg
md had fight with Bayard a Brandy
on the goth, the latter falling back to
Rapahannock station and resisting the
crossing of the Rapahannock there.
AS Longstreet contemplated crossing
at Kelly's, Fitz Lee took a crossroad
near Stringfellow's and reached the
Fredericksb urg road near Shepherds
grove, down which he turned toward
Jack Stones mill, says writer in the
National Tribune.
Next morning, 21st, he found his ad-
vance sharply resisted, the union cav
airy having a good position and bat
terry in service on the ridge north of
Mountain Run. AS Longstreet was
close up his column had to halt on the
road, extending back some miles. He
was near Charles Doggett's house, on
the road, talking with Pickett, and had
just ordered Hemper's brigade for
ward to help the cavalry clear the
ford at Jack Stones, when a man in
the uniform of a confederate captain
rode up to where he was, surrounded
by his staff. The man saluted Long
street, and said "Gen. Longstreet,
Gen. Jackson sends his compliments,
and directs you to withdraw to Ger
mama Ford" Longstreet looked at
him keenly and said: Does Gen. Jack
son order me to withdraw to Ger
mama by you?" Eyes, SIR" replied
the man, whereupon Longstreet
seized him by the collar, and his staff
soon had him prisoner.
About half an hour before Long
street had sent message to Jackson,
informing him of the resistance he
was meeting at Rapahannock, and
Kelly's, and the courier was killed at
Lick Branch by this spy, and the dis
patch taken from him. 1t was found
on the spy when they searched him,
and he admitted killing the courier
four miles back on the road. Long
street ordered a drum-head court
martial at once, which convened in
fence-corner and speedily sentenced
the spy to be executed. They were
about to suspnd him from a cherry
tree in front of Charles Doggett's, but
Doggett and his wife protested so
earnestly that they took him al put
100 yards away to Barnes branch and
swung him there. have never been
able to ascertain the name or
regiment of this union scout
and spy. Some say it was Mar
tin; others say that he belonged to
the First Maine cavalry; but he was
certainly a daring fellow. His object
was To detain Longstreet's advance,
yet he committed the error of de-
Gvering suppository orders from Jack

SCHNEIDER TWIN s1X-INCH GUNS.

SCHNEIDER TWIN SIX-INCH GUNS.
Going little further in this di-
rection the Messrs. Schneider
have established system that en-
ables two cannon to be mounted on
one carriage; thus the two pieces &C.
cupy the minimum space and can con-
sequently be contained in a turret of
minimum size, or may be used be-
hind simple shield. This means
economy in weight and in space at
the same time.
But these advantages are not all;
there is another whose Importance
is yet more considerable. The two
guns are, in fact, mounted on a single
steel support, and being thus solidly
connected need not be aimed sepa-
rately; thus the rapidity of fire is in
creased as well as its accuracy"
The two guns may be fired either
both at once or separately and either
by percussion or electrically. They
have, OF course, all the latest appl-
ances. The system including the
twin cannon, their support, and all
the mechanism for aiming them is
supported on a cast-steel base that
turns on ball-bearing. Says Col.
Delaney in closing:
This invention, which is charac-
terized by so great simplicity, has, as
we have seen, inestimable advantages,
realizing great economy of weight,
and enabling us to make the fire
more effective in a notable degree.
Presumably the arrangement. which
has been already applied to cannon
of O.1j meter caliber (siX inches) will
in future be used for even larger
pieces. The power of naval artillery
when such progress shall be realized
on shipboard."
