there was one volunteer with a stiff
wrist who was rejected Ii was a
severe blow TO the young man, who
could not refrain from shedding tears.

country, and accordingly obtained a
situation as cook When the regi-
ment went into action he left his
pots and kettles, obtained a gun and
Joined in the advance.-When a
charge was made he came face to
face with an officer of the rebels,

DR.. j. H. Irwin surgeon of the End
Wisconsin regiment, was chased by
one of the Black Horse Cavalry, who
fired when within ten feet of the sur
geon at the same time shouting,
Surrender, you id abolition scoun-
dreI!" The ball grazed the head Of
DR.. l.. who, at the same time, made a
big leap into a clump of woods, The
trooper rode round to head him off
but his opponent meantime managed
to load his rife, and when the troop
err next appeared shot him through
the chest. He fell sideways. the sad
die turning with him and the fright
ened horse galloped off with its dead
or wounded rider dangling by the
stirrups.

One of the enemy's cavalry rode up
to wagon containing wounded
German soldier of Captain Lang
worth's company, Second Wisconsin
regiment, and dragging him out by
the hair of the head. pierced him
through the body with his sword,
yelling, 'Ill teach you id black
Aboltionists to come down here to
fight u.s." The trooper then rushed
upon the driver of the wagon, and,
with a back cut of his sabre, nearly
severed the mans head from his
body and he fell lifeless among the
horses.

the fight, than were killed during the
REGULAR engagement.

Among the melancholy things
which contributed to the great disas-
ter of Sunday is the fact that one of
the highest officers of the day was
in such condition that he could not
give orders for the reserve of ten
thousand men to check the retreat.
Col Miles who commanded the res
erye division, is now under arrest.

During one of the charges of the
Fire Zouaves upon the Mississippi
Rifles a Zouave and a Mississippian
came in contact on an open space,
both with discharged rifles. Stimuli
taneously they attempted to draw
their revolvers, and the Mississippi
an having succeeded before the Zou-
ave in drawing his, the latter cried
out: Blaze away, Mississippi, I'll
take the last shot" The MISSISSIPPI
plan instantly did so, the Zouave,
having drawn his weapon, discharg-
ed it at his foe, piercing his heart
and instantly killing him.
Tho officer who took Mr. Pryor
prisoner says that among the other
prisoners taken was a very badly
wounded rebel officer, who wore the
eagle of colonel on his shoulder

Grated from the band so cut off.-His
left arm had been shattered above
the elbow, and the useless member
was dangling in his coat sleeve. He
was also bleeding profusely from a
wound in the side, yet waving his
sword in the air, and would not give
up until surrounded and a big fellow

His sword then dropped from his

THE PRESENT CAMPAIGN.

There is disposition on the part
Of mary to line all the candidates
upon tile question Of United States
senaOorsh'9. This is a bad idea,
There arc only Two officers hal have
any bearing On the senatorial question,
and those are senator and legislator,
As to the other Offices, they have
nothing to do with the senatorial
matter, and in voting for other officers
the people should select the most
honest, worthy and capable men, re-.
eardIess Of whom they favor for the
United States senate.
As to the candidates for the legis-
Iature and the senate, the people will
in all probability, require the candi,
dates to express a choice, and it is
probable that those who favor Varda-
man for the senate will vote for men
who are for him, and on the other
hand voters who favor the otoer
candidates, will vote for those who are
Tor Percy or Alexander.

nine loaded steel coal cars crashed

the helpless victims in a mass of
wreekage. The heavy train was load

Aleer has practically signed Paul
Cobb, brother OF Tyrus There is a
little hitch In the way as another big
league club has an option on his ser
vices, but owner Noyes OF the Wash

obtained the Georgian from the Lin

the news in big type in his own news
paper.
Bob Ungtaub tipped off McAieer
that Paul is ripe for fast company.
He is better than a 800 hitter in his
league and is fielding well this sea
son. Lincoln is the club formerly
managed by Jimmy sullivan of the
Richhaond team.
Washington dispatch says that
McAleer is going 10 turn catcher Aim
smith into an outfelder because of his
hitting. He has, turned Henry into
a first baseman and finds that the
coliegian whom he signed 10 go be-
hind the bat is the best man he has
for the place. If McAleer places Aim
smith in the outfield Doc GeEsler may
have to go behind the bat unless
Mack can find someone to help out
Gabny Street. Doe has played al
most every other place on the team.

can catch balls thrown from the top
