Impudent Endorsement.

An old Washington gentleman tells
a story which he overheard President
Lincoln repeat and which he believes
has not been published. During one
of his busy reception hours, when the
president was talking first to one, then
to another of the many who filled the
room in the white house, a gentleman
asked If any news had been received
from John Morgan. whose confederate
cavalry were raiding Kentucky and
Ohio. We'll catch John some of these
days." replied Lincoln. 81 admire him,
for he is bold operator. He always
goes after the mail trains in order to
get Information from Washington. On
his last raid he opened some mail
bags, and took possession Of the on
cial correspondence. One letter was
from the war department to q lieuten-
ant in Grants army; it contained a
captains commission for him Right
under the signature of A. Lincoln the
audacious Morgan wrote: Approved,
John Morgan, and sent the commits
sion on its way So there Is one Off
Ger in our army whose commission
bears my signature with the approval
OF that daredevil rebel raider

The adventures of Corporal John C.

who afterward became sergeant and
hrst lieutenant, were equally strange
and interesting. He was in the assault
OF Port Hudson, and whenNne assailants
were driven back and dispersed, he
found himself so near the enemy's works
that he concluded that his safety would
best be promoted by lying low" He
did so all through the blistering hours
OF that June day, and when darkness
began to gather he attempted to with
draw from the field, says the American
Tribune. He heard a Halt. there,
fank! and he found that he was COW
cred by rifles thrust over the top of the
work, while the same voice invited him
to come in here!" The invitation was
more peremptory than hospitable, and
Stoughton would have preferred to de-
cline 1t, but prudence compelled him to
accept, and thus he became a prisoner.
He was reported in his company as
missing, and was thought to have been

killed Hundreds were buried three or
four days after the assault, as soon as
truce could be obtained for that pur-
pose, whose faces were black and be-
yond recognition from exposure; and it
was supposed that Stoughton was among
them. On the 9th of July the enemy
capitulated, and our army marched in.
Great was the surprise and delight of
his comrades to find Stoughton alive
and well. He was quiet fellow, using
few words, but always keeping up
busy thinking, and there was flavor
OF dry wit in his brief account of his
three weeks captivity.
1T seems, by the company report"
he said, that 1 was dead and buried
three weeks, but l was the last one to
hear of it. After a day or two the
rebs wanted to send me out on parole.
but l thanked them kindly and told
them 1T wasn't worth while, that the
rest of the Yankees would be in in
few days. You see, knew they were
hard up for rations, and 1 wanted to
help them out. At first my daily al
lowance was four ears of corn. After
ward they gave me some mule meat,
which was first rate eating, of its
kind"
For his gallantry and cleverness at
Cedar Creek, Stoughton was made SER
geant He was captured in the morn
Ing, while bravely fighting, and night
hurried up the valley with nearly 1000
prisoners. for the tide of victory had
turned Most Of these men were taken
to Richmond or further south. and en-
dured long Imprisonment. Some
shrewd escapes were made-that of
Stoughton, among others. He secured
hat and blanket from an exhausted
confederate straggler, got himself
cursed and ordered out of the column as
one who had no business with the pris-
oners, gladly obeyed, lurked awhile in
the woods, and the next day, in half
confederate costume, made his appear
ance at the roll call of his own company.
He received a slight wound in the
cheek before he was captured. He was
among those who were highly COM
mended in general orders for bravery.
He was in every engagement of the regi-
ment. and was made lieutenant three
months before the close of the war.
