A TEXAET ABVENTUEE.
A short tune hefore the war hroke nnV, I Wits praelichig law iu Galvestou, Tc.^cas.
Importaiit husiness oalleil rae to a small town named Fairlielil, situateil ahout sevcnl.v miles north of Austin. I went from Galveston to Austin by rail, and, purchasiug n horse there, perform¬ ed the rest of my journey ou horseback. When I reached Kairticld, I found the town iu a stage of great excitement; a horrible murder had been committed there.
A young lady and gentleman had disappeared, and from circumstances connected wuth their disappearance, it wus evident they had been murdered, and their bodies tlirown into the river.
The supposed murderer had beeu ar¬ rested ; he was a young man named ArchieRayuor,theonlyson ofa widow, ami, strange to say, had been the be¬ trothed lover of Jessie Emory, themur- deredgirl. Thecircumstauces tliat had led to his arrest, were us follows:
Charles Harris, the .young man who had beeu mnrilered with Jliss Knioiy, had been u rival of Raynor, but Jessie had h>ved the latter, and had reimlsed tlie oflers of Harris. On Um evening uf their disappearance, Harris and she had been seen togetlier hy the side of the river; aud, as she did not come home,lier parents became alarmed, and search being made for her, on going to the place where they had been seen, they were horrified at seeing, lying ou the ground, her scarf, stained with blood. The earlh showeil signs of a desperate struggle; pools of hlood Hhiiued the gra.ss, aud a crimson trail led to the water's edge, showing tiiat tlie murderer had cast his victims inlo the stream.
Ou furtiier search a knife, stained with blood, was found ; the initials "A B," were graven on the blade, aud it was recognized by several its belonging to Raynor, aud several persons testified to haviug met hira tliat evening near the place where the murder had been committed. He was arrested, but de¬ clared that he was innocent. Jealousy was tho supposed cause; his mother was nearly heartbroken, and it was said that if he was convicteil, it would send her to her grave. Ou the cveuingafter my arrival, I was sitting iu my private room In the hotel, when the clerk en¬ tered aud said that a lady wished tosee me on important business.
" Send her up," I said, wondering who it could be.
He retired, and in a short time a lady dressed in black, and deeply veiii^d, en¬ tered, i placed a chair fur her and she sat down, aud throwing hack her veil, said:
" Vou are a lawyer, aro you uot?"
" I :im."
"I am the mother of Archie Raynor, the young man who is charged with murder," said8he, "aud I have come to .see if you will consent to defend him at his approaching trial. Oh! sir, if you have a mother, think of her, aud think what her feelings would be to see her only child, her sole stay aud sup¬ port, in a prison cell, with an awful doom hanging over his head. Oh! sir, I know that my son is innocent. I know that he, who is so kind and gen¬ tle to all, would not stain his soul with murder. He has told me that he is in¬ nocent, and he »;ei'ertoId me a lie. But come with me aud see him. Do not re¬ fuse a mother that jjoor boon '."
I thought the matter over a few mo¬ ments, and then decided to go with her and see the young man. We left tho hotel and went to the jail; she intro¬ duced me to the jailor as her sou's law¬ yer, and he, taking dowu a buuch of keys, showed us into the young man's cell. The pHsouor, a noble looking raau, was sitting ou the side of his pal¬ let, with his face buried In his Iiands.
He started np as we entered, aud em¬ braced his mother affectionately. She turned to me aud said:
"Thisis Mr. Clifton, a lawyer from Galveston. I have engaged him to de- feud you, mj' dear boy."
Ho shook hands with me, and in a siiort time hismothersaid: " I will now leave Mr. Clifton aud you together, aud I am sure that oif hearing your story, he will see that you are innocent."
,She then took her departure, aud I asked him to tell mc all the circum- staiiees connected with the alRiir,
" Well, ou tbe night of tlieir disap-
fiefirance, I did uot see Jessie. I wits to lave met her by the river, but I was prevented by business from getting there unO! near dark, and then I could not iind iiiir, so concluding she had gone home ; I went to my home, and being tired, weutlo bed at once. I slept lill near twelve jo'clock, and was theu awakened by tho constable, and accused ol murdering Jessie BmoO'- I I'rotested myianocence, but was told S would have that to prove, and I was In'ought here; that is all I know." " But what about the kuifu V" asked T. "Oh ! Iliad forgotten. Ilo.st thai knife four (iiiys ago, aud it must have boeii fouud by the murderer."
" Were Miss Emory and Harri frieuds"" airked I.
" No. sir. When sht refused his ofl'er of marriage, he told her tliat she would Bouie day repent it, aud she has avoided him ever .since. What surprises me," addid lie, " is thai Ihey should have beeu seen logoUier. iMiere is some mystery about iltljttt t enn't see lb rough. Tliere is one thing lhat I have Uiought of since 1 have been here. 11 may sur¬ prise you, but I canuot divest myself <jf the belief tliat Jessie is alive, and lias been carried odMiy Harris, for lie is bad enough for anything, aud I know thai he has sold .some iirojierly he had iu the town, and he lias lold several persons lhat he was going north. I Uiink he has carried lier oft' and tliat he had fuund my knife, aud sUiiiied it wilh hlood so as to make people believe they had been murdered, aud throw the guilt ou me."
** By Juve! young man, I believe you sire fight. I will wager that is the case. Can you tell me wliere Harris is from V" asked I,
"From the northern part of tho Stale,- I thiuk, but X am not sure"
After a few ejorequestions, Ibadetlie young man keep a good lieart, and I would do my best for him, :u,d then I left the jail and went to the hotel, aud going to the bar-room fouud the land¬ lord, and entered into conversation with him^ aViout the murder. " Did you know Harris?" I asked. "Yes, quite well. I have known him three years.'
" Of what disposition was he ?" "Awful passionate. I believe he never forgot an injury. I don't like to Bpeak ill of the dead, hut, to tell the truth, I never liked him. He had an evil look about hioi tliat always made me distrust liim.    He wouhl stop at
" No • h« cam» from around Parka- town, fean Jose county, about flfty mllea north of here," answered he. " He told me the other day that he was aolDg back there In ft week or two, but ther* was no such thing as believing him."
Tha next morning early I went to the scene of the murder. I examiued the ground carefully, and I soon came to the conclusion that no struggle had taken place on the spot. It was all too scientillcally laid out; the doers had heen cunnlug, but they hnd overdone their part. Tlie blood and marks on the earth were merely blinds. Any acute persou could see that no struggle had taken place, and that the traces were but blinds. I noticed also, lliat all the footprints had been made by ouo pair of hoots, aud that thoheelsof these boots had had nails driven into them In tho shape of a heart; for in every print there, the mark was plainly to be aeen. 1 was satislied that Miss Emory had been carried otf by Harris; so I re¬ solved to proceed thus: To go to Purkstown, Harris' native place, and make eflbrts to liud him, for I thoughl he would most likely have gone there witb her.
I went at once to Mrs. Raynor's and told hor what I iniended lo do, and telling her to he of good cheer, I bade her farewell, and went to the hotel. I borrowed aseven-shooter from the land¬ lord, mounted my horse, aud set off ou my uncertain search.
Tlie closeof the firsl day's ride broughl me toa little village, where I stayed all night. The next morning was a beau¬ liful one, .and I rodo briskly over the prairie until noon, when I slopped ata solitary squatter's cabin and gotdiiiiier. Here I was Jiuformed that Parks- town was about twenty-five miles dis¬ tant. The pros)ect was not inviting; the day, from a bright and pleasant one, had become dark and lowering, and heavy clouds wccegalheriugin the sky. But I determined to pusli on. The hospitable squatter gave me many directions as to the right road, and mounting my horse, I rode on until uiElitfall, when the slorin that had long giveu tokeu of ils coming, burst upon me in full fury. The rain fell in torrents; the lightningflashe<l, causing my horse to start and tremble, while the very eartli was shaken by tlie ter¬ rific peals of thunder.
Bewildered by the blinding rain, I let the horse make its own way in lhe darkness, fori could not see the path ; and on we weut, stumbling and slip¬ ping, unlil I was suddenly startled by hearing therushiugsound of waler, and before X could stop the horse, he M'as in tlie stream up to tlie girth. Tiiere was nothing to do but let him go on, which he did, walking slowing unlil he lost his depth, and was forced to swim. The current was strong, and I expected every momftit lliat it would carry the noble animal away. But he struggled on, and soon touched hulluin again, ami wilh asnort rusiied up the river's bank, and wilh renewed energy pushed on through the darkness.
I wus now certain 1 hud lost my way, aud had made uji nij- mind for a uiglit ill the woods, when to my great joy, I .saw through the liliiidiug rain, a light in the distance. Willi renewed bope X urged my hur.se on, and <:uiie tu the hou.se whence Ihe ligbl came. 1 drew up at the dour and gave two or three Joud raps witii jny wJiii>. Jt was upen- cd by a woman whose appeaiance did not impress me very favoralily.
" I am seeking shelter. Can you lodge me for the night?,'
" X guess so. Cuine in. Here, Sam, take this boss 'round lo llie slable ami feed him."
Sam, a hoy of about seventeen, led my hiu'se away, and I followed the woman into the house, aud going up lo the lire, took oH" my overcoat, ami drawiug a chair up, s:it down and dried myself at the generous blaze, while the woman prepared some sujijier. Look¬ ing around, while sitting at the fire, I saw for the Hi-st lime a beautiful young girl silting in a corner. Her face was pale, and her eyes had a frightened look in them that filled me wilh l)ily. 'I'he elder woman, looking around, saw that I was lookiug at the girl, and said sharply:
" Go UJ) stairs, gal, and stay thar till I call ye."
She obeyed aud went up stairs. Shortly after, the door was thrown open, and live men armed to the Icclli strode iu. Four of thom were rough, ugly-looking villains; the fifth was a short, thick-set .young man, aud looked rather more refined than tlie otliers, but there was a look of the devil in his face that I did not like. Thoj' looked inquiringly at the woman, on seeing me, and she said :
" He is a traveller that has lost hia way in the storm."
"Where is the girl?" asked the young man of whom I have spoken.
" Up stairs," answered sho, and turn¬ ing to me, added:
"Corae inter the next room, mister, aud I'll fetch ye yersupper."
I followed her into the next room, and she drew a lable into the middle of the floor, and spreadiug a coarse cloth on it, went inlo the outer room again. I began lo feel rather uneasy al my situation, for I did not like the looksof the men. I examined my re¬ volver, and delermined lo be earefiil.
Boon tne woman entered, accom])a- nied by the girl, and placed some corn bread, a plate of fried ham, aud some coffee on the table. I noticed lhat the girl looked at rae in a peculiar manner, as if desirous of speaking lo me. At last, as she poured out the coffee, she slipped into my hand a small piece of paper. She theu v.-eut out, and was followod by the woman. I unfolded the paper, and read the following:
" Do not touch the coffee; it is drug¬ ged. You may eat the bread and meat. These people are robbers, and intend to rob and murder you. I am kept here against my will. My name is Jessie Kmory. X was stolen away from my home by a mau nainsd Harris. Ifyou will aid me in escaping, X will contrive to saddle two horses and tie them out¬ side, and if we can once get to them, we are safe. We will have to go through the outer room lo escape, for there is only one door. Contrive some means lu let me know what you intend to do.' I was never so amazed in my life. Though X liad thought it strange to see so beauliful a maiden living willi such peoplo as these, yet the lliouglit that she was the inissing Jessie Kmory had never crossed my brain. X tore a sheet from my note-book, and wrole these words:
"Have the horses ready, and I will do my best in aiding you to escape."
I threw the ilrugged coffee inlo the ashes, and hearing the woman coming, I raised the cup to m.v lips as if in the act of emptying it, and set it on the ta¬ ble just us she she entered. She gave a quielk look at Lhe empty cup, and I noticed a gleam ofsatisfacliun flit over her face. X gave her tbe cup, and .said : "Your oofjee is gooil. Please fill my cup again."
She called .Tessic, and told her to bring the colfee-pot. Hlie brought it, and while filling my cup X managed to slip the note intu her hand. She went out witii tlie woman. X dispo.sed of my fresh coffee in tlie same manner as the first, and finishing my supper, put on my overcoat, drew a chair up lo the lire, and waited for Jessie to m.ake Iier appearance. 'I'he rnblinrs in the next room were very quiet. I was fully awake to the dangerous character of our enterprise. We would have to make oiir way through theonter room, iu tlie face of flve men o.aeh armed to the teeth: but I calculateil ou laking them by sur¬ prise, aud I knew that, if by a sudden rush we could get outside and reach the horses, we couhl bid Ihem ileliance. I had sat a short timei when I beard whispers iu the outer room. X walked cautiously lo the door and placed my ear lo tlie key-hole, aud heard the wo¬ man say: "Gal, go in an'see if he's asleep yet." The door opened, and Jessie entered. "Are you ready ?" whisiiered she. " Y'es,*" ausweretl T, cocking my re¬ volver. I had placed my left arm around her waist and whispered :
" Cling to me. If X fall, run for the horses and try to escape. Now!" and throwing open the door, we sprang in¬ to the outer room. Harris spraug to his feet and yelled:
" Shoot hira! Curse him, shoot him! He's trying to run oft'with the girl'."
"Standaside!" cried I, raising my revolver.
The other men ran to get between us and the door. Harris drew a bowie- knife, and flourishing it, yelled: "Drop her, or I'll kill youj!" Quick as thought I took aim at him and fired. The ouUet crashed through his brain, and he fell to the floor. The others drew back, and we ran acrriB
After them, ye cowards I Shoot him down!   Don't let him escape!
I cried to Jessie:
"Run for the horses! I will keep them back.   Run!"     , ^        ,
The brave girl obeyed me, and ran to where the horses were tied. One of the villains fired at me, and the ball went through my hat. Xflred, hut with a belter aim tlian he. The hall entered his breast, and throwing up his hands, he fell forward on the ground. I turn¬ ed and ran to the horses. Jessie had uniied them, and was mounted on one. I sprang on'the other, and we gallujied away. Tho rufllans gave a yell of rage aa they saw us escaping, aud lired sev¬ eral shots after us, some or which whis¬ tled rather close to us, but we weresoon out of their reach.
The storm had ceased, hut llie uight was very dark, and wo rode-on, not knowing where we were going. But luck attended us, for we soon struck a beaten road, which we followed all night, and as the sun rose iu tlie morn¬ ing we rode iuto Parkstown, the town to which I was going when X so provi¬ dentially lost my way. We went at once to the ouly hotel the town nflbrd- ed, and I told Jessie of her lover's im¬ prisonment on the charge of murder¬ ing her. Slie said that Harris had told her so, but she had not believed him, as she thought that he said so for the pur¬ pose of frightening her. She was great¬ ly o.xcited on hearing that it was so, and wished to proceed at once to X'air- field ; but X iusisled on her remaining at Parkstown a day to rest. She theu told me her adventures.
She had gone to the riverfor thcpur¬ pose of meeting Raynor, when Harris mother. Sho was going on, when he stopped her aud suid he wished to beg her iiardori for the words he had used loher. He said he was going away from X''airUeld, and that he wislieil to leave none but frieuds behind him. She, deceived by his pretended penilen- cy, readily forgave him, and as it Was nearly dark, turned homewards, he ac¬ companying her.
As they were walking towards the village, he suddenly seized her and pressed a handkerchief saturated with chloroform against her mouth and nos¬ trils, and she knew no more. When she regained her senses it was broad daylight, and she was iu a hoat, going down the river, with Harris and two of the men whom I had seen at the cabin. They went a great distance down the river, and then landing, were met by another of the gang, who was await- iug.thein with horses.. She was placed on one and taken to the cabin iu the woods. Here she was kept a prisoner hy Harris, wlio ofl'ered her no insults, evidently hoping to win her consent to their marriuKe witliout force.
After hearing her story, X went to the ollice of the Juslice of the I'eace and told hlni the circumstances, anda body of men went at onco to the jilace, but the birds were flown. Two graves were found, showing lhat my last shot had proved fatal.
After a day's rest, we mounted our horses aud set o:i t for Fairfield, which we reached iu two days. X need not describe the joyful meeting of tbe par¬ ents and ehihl, who had heen so strange¬ ly separated. Archie Raynor was in¬ stantly released from custody and re¬ stored lo the arms of his now happy niolher, and ill three weeks he was married to Jessie Emory, I being groomsman, and Lhe dearest friends i now have are Archie and Jessie E:iy- nor.

" Where did he come from ?  Is Ileal the room, flung open the door, and itive of this nlace ?" 'sDranirout. Thewnman velloH florpolv^
sprang ouj, fhe woman yelled fiercely;
I was al the Cupe on sick leave. Wheu I .sailed from India, I w.ns as l.-mgnid ami yellow-visugeil :is lhe must lisLless nabob lhat ever supplied material for a farce or novel. A sinarl I'unt of jungle fever makes one see the world and all ils advanhiges Ihrough a diminished lens, and when X crawled from the Afasoulah boat up Lhe sidi! ladder of the good ship Jlaiy .Xaiie, I should not huve been in the least excited liy the news of my a|>iioinlment to the ollice of governmenl. general. But a few months at the Cape, whero the dry air and the puro skies absolutely seemed lo impart vitality lo an enfeebled frame, made a wonderful difference iu me both mentally aud corporeally. As my strenglli and appetite returned, so <lid mj' inlercst iu sublunary mallei's; and now tliat X was convalescent, X became a victim lu boreilom. There are few lilaces in which one may enjoy more hearty, honest dulliie.ss than at the Cape "of Good Hope. No doubl an Xing- lish market town, .a cathedral eil.v, a decayed watering place, are lulerably lifeless, especially in hot siiiiimer weather, when dozing dogs liave the pavement to themselves, and tlie bhic- bollles that haunt the hulchci's sliop seem lo monopolize all tho activity of tho place. But Cajie Town!—Cupe Town on a regulur baking day, before the breeze springs up may compete with it ou the score of monotony.
One day as I was yawning about the jiier, looking up uow and then at Ta¬ ble Mountaiu to see if the cloth was spread, aud any elemental frolic proba¬ ble, a salute was suddenly banged out by the Flagstaff battery. As quickly as was natural to a man who, for the last day or two, had no pleasanter prob¬ lem to busy his miud than an attempt lo solve the question why Cape horses cannot trot, but must gallop or canter, X siniu round aud asked for iuformatioii. "A king's ship, sir, wilh prize in tow, a slaver belike," said a seafaring man, the mate to some merchantman, and very civilly handed me his glass, through which X could make out a fri¬ gate " clawing" into the bay in com¬ pany wilh a large suspicious-looking black brig. Meanwhile signals were being rapidly exchanged between the frigate and the shore, und soon the ru¬ mor spread thai lhe new comer was the Lynx, SG, Captain Homo. X^ynx, Cnpt. Home! Here was a chance for me, for Home was an old friend, a sort of Welsh cousin of mine, and X had over been a cruise in the Lynx. Here was a remed.y for the Cajie bhie-devils, for a few days anyhow. X should dine with Home, and Home should dine wilh me, and then I should join the gun¬ room mess, nnd hear seme yarns nol absolutely threadbare. But here is the gig pulling fast for the pier-head, and iu the stern-sheets sits the weather- beaten naval commander, Capt. Home, full fig, on his w.ij'lo tiie Governor's. To my surprise he seemed in wretciied spirits, and winced when X congralu- laled him in his success iu the anti- slavery line.
Wlien he came outof the government house—the "residence" as the natives called it—Home, who had agreed to dine with me, passed his arm through mine.
1 asked him what maile him wear such a liaugdog look, being lucky enougli to have caught a slaver.
"Caught a slaver"?" he exclaimed; " caught a lurlar would be neari.'r tbe mark I'm afraid. I wish she hud been under fifty fathoms of blue waler before uver I heard of her."
A liltle pressing, aud I heard the whole slory.
"X was hovering about the South' American coast," said Home, "keeping bright lookout for any stray Brazilian that might be filling for a trip to the sluve coast," but uot one could I fiud. Eilher the crafts were invisible or the negro trade wasa myth, one would huve thoughl. At last—you kuow X always paid highly for good informalioii, and jiickiiig up more prizes in that way llian would olherwise have been gained —at hust X w;ls informed thata brig wils filling oul iu Buenos Ayres harbor and would sail shortly. She wasaY'ankie, and a 'cute one. He had been obliged to take on buurd a suspicious quaiilily of water casks, salt provisions, und so lorlh ; but he had hidden the shackles Old Nick alone cun telLwhore, and on the slavedeck he had placed six horses In pens, as u jiretexl for his voyage. .Ship's jiapers, manifest, invoice, were all beautifully regular. He was an hon¬ est trader, dou't you see? carrying on a Iraflic in horses; though I shall be able to prove that forthree-fourthsof thcold screws he took out he must huve paid more iu Buenos Ayres than he could possibly sell them for on the African coast. Besides these nags the Y'ankee had a cargo of hardware, guns, nails, tools, metal rods—the proper things to barter with the natives—aud he was to brliiE back produce, so he says.
" Well,hesailed. I kepcabrightlook- out, aud never lost sight of his topmasts during the voyage."
"Hiscourse was evidently towards the Bight Benin; but when we got within eighty miles of theGuineacoast, the old fox doubled, and ran down iu the night towards Cameroons. The brig sails fast, as slavers always do; but the Lynx is the tightest, trimmest little boat on the wind. In the whole—"
"There, there. Home; I know all that."
"Well," resumed Home, "X was com¬ ing up with him, hand over haud, so round ho went, running around some saudy keys made for the Calabar river. X gave chase, and he steered for the Bend. 'X'his would never do; a squall, a fog, even a dark night, aud he would escape me, and carry his cargo of ebony safe to America. So I ran down, flred a gun, and sent a boat to fetch the skipper. He met me wilh a provokiug grin, andsaidj as he squirted tobacco over my clean white decks:
" Well, cap'en, you'vegotmo; X hope you like me. Y'ou'vo captured me, X guess; but toget the brig- condemned is another and a 'nation different slory."
" And so it is Ned, aud I'm afraid I h.ave only burned m.y fingers by my precious capture, 'i'lie mixed court won't condemn heron bare suspicion. .Tlie crew ure aS: close IUS wax, aud the Y'aukces keep walch on lhe Spanish sailors so no one can split if he wanted to."
" And ifyou don't get her condemn¬ ed, llorne'/" said I.
" If I don't, I'm a ruined man, that's all," he returued, wilh a quiver in his lip very unusual to him. " I'm a poor man, j-ou know ; and if my prospects are blighted, what is to become of my wife and poor boy? It was for their sake I was so anxious to get more prize money, and I thought that this ship would liave paiil for James' three years in Cambridge, and left a handsome nest egs too. But if the brig's declared an honest trader, I must pay compeusalion for seizing her, aiid delaiuing her ille¬ gally, and dockyard men, laborers for the search, fees, wages, and what not until I'm a begger. Worse, too, I shall be in the ' black books' of the admiral- tj-, and perhaps never getanothership, aud then?" And the honest fellow slopped, for his heart was too full to al¬ low him to say any more. Day after day the slaver lay in Table Ba.v, and nothing came to light. No seaman peached—no shackles were found. Tho Yankee skipper grinned triumphantly when he met us on the iiier. Y'ou would havo Ihought him the captor, and poor dejected Home the prisoner, to have seen them both.
The mixed court could uot come to a decision. There were the water casks, the salt pork, andso on, butnoshackle- bolts or leg-irons. " Why don't you search the hold?" said I daily to poor Horno.
" I daro not," was the answer; " for there is a heavy cargo; and what with tho wages of dockyard-men, and com¬ pensation to the owners for breaking bulk, tile search would cost me a hun¬ dred dollars."
I olfered him all the assistance in my power, but he was a proud man, and de¬ clined it. So the case went on, aud the naval onicer,lpoor man, was on his trial as well ius the rascally slaver. Mauy a captain luis let a negro trader escape rather than run such a risk. 'J'he duy oftho filial trial came, and the Y'^uukee skipper was in court, and snajiped his lingers ut us. He did not take the trouble to sham innocence, confidenthe could not be xirovod guilty. Without suying a wonl to Home, I slipped out of cuurt, rail tu the pier, und was pulled on board the brig. I soou secured au ally ill the midshipman who command¬ ed the prize-crew, and we unule a raosl irregular onslaught on the contents of thu lirig'.s hold. Strange to say, wo found the sliackles! 'J'hey had been wrapped in tow, and headed up in casks appurcntly full of salt meal; su lhat, but for an accident we migiil have searidied lill doom day in v:uii. But lhe discovery w:us useless afler all;- for, when 1 relumed in triumph, I found Horno rndianl with joy, and llie Yan¬ kee crestfallen and quite subdued. Un¬ able tu agree, tlieBrazilian and English juilges iiad agreed to " loss up" heads or tails of a (lollar, fur condemned or ac- (]uilled. Heads came up, and thus most jusl l.y, though by sheer accident, llie vessel was coiulemued.

INCIDENT OF AEMY LIFE.
During thespring of ISGO I was on dulail al General Ord's headiiuartci'S, and freijuently carried disiialches to General Grant. He knew uie as oue of Geueral Ord's orderlies. Wheu the latter was traiisferreil from the north to the soutli side uf the James Jtiver, aud operated with General Sheridan in the rout uud cai>tiire of Leu's army, I was ofteu compelled to ride through the Kiealer jiarl of onr own troops before I could Iind Grant and deliver uiy dis¬ patches.
Oneinoriiiugin Aprill received .some captured letters and orders, and some copies of reports of scouts and rebel de- serleis, aud was direeled lo Iind Gen¬ eral Grant and deliver them lo him. After riding several hours, I found him between our lines during one of the front and rear attacks wliich the enemy made upou our left, near Diuwiddie Court House. This rear attack pro¬ duced not a little confusion in our troops. Here and there was hurrying lo and fro, riding in hot haste, giving aud changing orders, taking new posi¬ tions, or changing frout. As yet the llring was desultory; a few had been killed, aud several wounded. General Grant, accompanied with one slaft-olTi- cer and an orderly or two, was assisting the divisiou and brigade commanders in the suitable disposition of their forces, he having come upon that part of our line soon after these simultane¬ ous attacks ^vere made.
While eugaged lu these arrange¬ meuts, three soldiers passed near the Geueral, carrying a dead man, wrapped iu a blanket, from the skirmish line. Grant rode up to Ihem, aud, ordering them to slop, said: Whom have you here?"
Oue of thom replied : We have the body of our captain. We are taking it to the rear. He was just now killed on the skirmish line." They were young meu, rather tail and fine-looking, and appeared from eighteen to twenty-four years of age.
" You remember, my brave bo.vs," sa^'s the Geueral,'* that the llrst duty of a soldie"r, in the hour of batlle, is to secure the victory ; that acquired, there will be sufficient time to care for tho wounded, collect the captured property, and bury the dead."
" We know that. General," .said the oldest, glancing at the. stars of the Lieuteuanl-General; " bul he was onr father, too. Wheu we .set out for the war we all jironiised our mother and sister that whoever should die tiie sur¬ vivors wouhl send home to, be buried on tlie bauks ofthe Kalamanoo."
•' II call mnke but liltle diflereiice to your brave fallier where his body lies," snid Grant, " while the more than Spar¬ tan patriotism and sell-denial of your mother and sister will not permit you to leave the post of duly inau iiour like llii.s."
Tliey nodded assent, but "were too ileeply allecled lo reply. They laid the body of their father al the roots of a pine.tree which stood nearby, and half running, half walking,rcturiied to their regiment. Tears glisloned iu tho eyes of their comiuanding general as lie re¬ marked tltelr earuest though sorrowful reslgnalioii, and he often turned lo catch a glimpse of Ihem as thoy sank iu Lhe littlo valleys aud rose "ou the hills, hurr.yliig baek.
Within less than two hours the bat- Lie for the day was wou. The three hrothere came out unhurt. Thu body of their father was embalmed at City I'oint, aud sent lo Parma, Michigan.
A liltlo more tbau a month afterward, when that part of the army passed Ihrough Iliclimoiid, Lhe two younger brothei-s were the junior ollicers in their father's company, aud the elder was the adjutant of their regiment.
