tumorous ?epartmcnt. THE WAYS OF A NEW COUNTY. HaviDg been introduced to the sheriff, as I waited in the postoffice, that official kindly asked me to go around and take a look at the jail. On the way over he explained that it was a new county and financially poor, I couldn't expect to find anything like an eastern jail. The "institution" proved to be a .long, low structure built of planks, with wooden bars nailed across the windows. The sheriff's family occupied one end of the building, and there were accommodations for a 'tn'on nrioonArs in the other. As we entered the place we found one of the prisoners seated on a nail keg and smoking his pipe in the most contented manner. "Well, Bill," said the sheriff, "how are you getting on ?" "Tip top, Mr. Sayles," replied Bill. "I'm getting on so well that I wouldn't go with the rest of 'em." "Has anybody got out this afternoon ?" "Yes ; that boss thief pried the bars off a back window and skipped." "Did, eh ? Anybody else?" "Yes; that freight car robber dug under the floor and took a walk soon after dinner." "So he's gone, too ! Anybody else ?" "Yes; that slim, cockeyed chap who was in fur cow thievin' said he was homesick and battered off a plank and started ftir home." "I suspected he wanted to get out. Anybody else ?" "Yes; that lame cuss who was in fur settin' Are to haystacks got mad because I beat him five straight games of euchre, and said he'd be durned if be huug around any longer in sicb company. He busted the lock and went out o' the front door." "Why, that takes 'em all but you !" said the sheriff, after counting up on his fingers. "Yes, all but me, Mr. Sayles." "And what are you staying for ?" "Board and lodgings and the comforts of home, Mr. Sayles. I was sent here fur three months and hev got Dine weeks to put in, an' I hain't goin' to throw up my job to look tur anotner." "Bill," said the sheriff, after looking at the man for half a minute. "I took you for a mean and ungrateful critter when I first set eyes on you, and now I know that I didn't make any mistake. You can stay, of course, but let me say if you do you won't get but two meals a day, and those will be mighty slim. This is a new county, and she's $15,000 in debt, and the idea of keeping this jail open to accommodate a lop-shouldered, red-headed varmint who only stole a $2 hog, makes me hopping mad. Bill, you've got to git!" "Then gimme a quarter to git on 1" "Here it is, and don't you dare to come back at night and break your way in here!" He held the door open and Bill walked out, and after the prisoners was out of sight the official muttered : "She's a new county and $15,000 in debt, and this cleaning out the jail will save her $3 a day. The cheek of that man to hang around here and expect to be lodged and fed at public expense !"?M. Quad. MERELY NOMINAL. The Budget Saunterer's friend, tne doctor, has retired from practice. A few years ago he inherited a large fortune, and since then bis time has been so occupied managing his estates that it is impossible for him to continue bis professional work. Not only has he taken in bis shingle, but he also discourages the practice of calling him "doctor," so that in his neighborhood the title has been generally dropped. However, every few days the Irish maid-of-all-work, when she answers the doorbell, has to explain that though the proprietor of the establishment is a duly graduated physician, he is not at present practicing bis profession, and does not wish to respond to calls for his medical skill. It happened that one day there appeared at the door a caller of a very different kind. He was the agent of some religious society, anxious rather to bleed others than to be bled themselves. So, naturally, he was eager to post himself as to the church relations of his proposed subject in order to make the appeal more effectual. His first question began in the usual way: "Is?er?Mr. Hammersleigh at home ?" "Sure an' he is, sorr." "Can you tell me whether or not he is a Christian ?" "To Bridget this was something of a poser, but she rose supremely to the occasion with her accustomed answer: "Sure, an' he is, yer honor. But he's not practicing it lately." 9&~ An ancient resident of Willowby, whose conduct in one of the battles of the Civil war had brought him under suspicion of cowardice, used to declare, "I didn't run away and stay till 'twas all over, no such a thing; I retreated in good order, that was all." One day a military man heard the oft-repeated explanation. "Well, my friend," he-said, looking steadily at the hero of the retreat, "you say you retreated in good order, but I should like to ask one thing: About how fast did you go?" "Well," said the other man, surprised into telling the unadorned truth, "if I'd been at home and going after the doctor, I recken the folks would have thought that somebody was pretty sick!" tGF Little Mable?If you don't stop, I'll tell mamma, and she'll tell papa, and papa will whip you.

THE BOAT ATTACK~OTJOMTERT BY REAR-ADMIRAL STEVEN8, U. 8. N. From The Youth's Companion. Many a boy and girl would be surprised to know bow often sentimental reasons were responsible for important operations during our late war. War between countries differing in taste. language and pursuit is, as a rule, cautious, deliberate and scientific; but what is known as civil war, or a war between citizens of the same state, abounds in operations intended as much to create a moral advantage as to gaiu a strategic victory. One of these sentimental reasons was at the bottom of the persistent Union attacks on Charleston, S. C., although the occupation of Charleston Roads by our fleet effectually stuffed up the enemy's blockade-runners and formed a valuable base of operations. The authorities were determined that Charleston's defences, and particularly Fort Sumter, should fall into our bands, not only on account of the moral effect which would be produced thereby in Europe, but on account of the spiritual elation and depression which would arise in the north and south respectively. The cause of Charleston's sentimental importance was this: From the firing on Sumter came the Civil war, and the citizens of Charleston were not only the first participants in actual strife, but the nucleus about which gathered the particles of secession. The city was responsible for the first attack on the f}ag, and was the actual stronghold of the early resistance to United States authority. Its fall was regarded by the Union authorities as a moral necessity. In order to gain possession of a position strongly fortified and so ably and valiantly defended, the most desperate ?*/)otriao^ art/1 Hal. llienauics VYCIO uawj uotiowu uuu MM. ly executed. HOW CHARLESTON WAS INVESTED. In 1863 Charleston roads was the anchorage of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, under the command of Rear-Admiral Dablgren. The wooden ships, the little monitors and the Ironsides, Commodore Rowan's ironclad flagship, anchored, when not engaged in bombarding the forts and the shore batteries, about three miles from the enemy's works. At intervals, acting on some plan of the admiral, they would weigh anchor and steam up to within close range, when the several vessels would take up advantageous positions and open a fire that lasted sometimes for many successive hours. * But this was no easy and monoto- 1 nous display of marksmanship. Forts Moultrie, Wagner and Gregg and the i batteries on Morris Island returned 1 our fire with interest and effect, while navigation was dangerous on account of the enemy's lines of torpedoes and obstructions. In the midst of all the turmoil, Fort Sumter squatted grimly j on the crown of her island, and only i an occasional shot from her walls, and the barred flag that hung over her, 1 showed that she was still in the hands of our opponents. ( Month after month our operations 1 went on, until at last, on the morning of September 7, the admiral received intelligence that the enemy had evac- , uated Forts Wagner and Gregg, and ( that Morris Island was in the posses- , sion of General Gillmore's soldiers. , The day of the 7th was passed in J active work against the enemy, and on j the afternoon of the 8th Admiral Dablgren decided that the time w$s , favorable for a boat attack on Fort | Sumter, as he supposed that the enemy , would be discouraged by the fall of , Wagner and Gregg. , Sumter herself had new assailants j in our guns on Morris Island, and her walls were battered and breached by , tbe bombardment to wmcn sne nau been subjected. The admiral demanded the fort's surrender, but received the reply: "The fort will be yours when you come and take it." . THE ATTACK PROJECTED. On the evening of the 8th of September, 1863, as I was smoking an afterdinner cigar with my friend Commodore Rowan, in the cabin of the Ironsides, the admiral's dag-lieutenant, S.W. Preston, was announced with orders for the commander of the Patapsco?myself?to report on board the flag-ship. On our way to that vessel Mr. Preston informed me that the admiral intended to send a boat expedi- 1 tion against Sumter, and added, "You | are selected to command." I was very'sorry to hear this, for in < my opinion the attack was certain to < be unsuccessful for many reason, among i them the following: We were with- I out trustworthy knowledge of the in- < ternal condition of the fort and of the practicability of scaling the walls; no i means for this last necessity had been < devised, and we had no scaling ladders I nor other appliances for climbing into i the fort; sufficient time had not been i allowed for organizing a force with so i desperate a mission ; the enemy had 1 been made aware that some demonstra- i tion was intended by the gathering of 1 the fleet's boats around the flagship, i and would naturally suppose Sumter I to be threatened ; and finally, if a l.J x 1 lougmem were eueetcu, mc cucuj^ a i ironclads and batteries above and i around Sumter could cut off our com- < munications and strave us out. < I made these representations to the < admiral, and asked permission to de- i cline the command. He made no direct answer to this, but said : "You will find nothing but a corpo- I ral's guard to oppose you. You have i only to go and take possession." i I then left the admiral's cabin and i went down into the wardroom, the i junior officers' quarters, where I had a i long discussion with some of my < friends and repeated my reasons for wishing to decline the command of the proposed expedition. From this I was dissuaded, and I finally signified my readiness to go on a mission that my judgment told me was almost without hope. THE COMMAND ACCEPTED. As soon as I bad notified the admiral of my consent to take command of the expedition, my energies were bent toward making the necessary preparations. The admiral's barge was placed at my disposal, aud Lieutenant Forrest, an officer of rare intelligence, was appointed my aid. One of my friends, the present RearAftmirnl Rhind. sucffested to me that one division of boats be sent around Sumter as a feint, while the rest should wait within easy distance of the fort for the order to advance. As such a feint would be likely, among other good results, to develop the strength of the enemy's- preparations for defeu ce, the plan was adopted. So many things bad to he planned and executed that it was half-past ten by the time the watchword for the night bad been arranged, a tug secured to tow the boats up to the forts and our medical officer fully prepared for his duties. All being at last in readiness, the order was given to start, the tug moved slowly ahead and the boats were strung out in a long line behind her. Many farewells and words of cheer came to us from those left behind on the Patapsco as we moved away from her side, for all felt the perils of the duty which we had undertaken, and foreboded that many a close friend and good shipmate would return no more. It was a calm, clear, starlight night. The picket monitors Montauk and Lehigh were to be ordered to move up to support our attack, as the admiral had decreed at my request, and toward them we directed our course, The only sound after we left them was the steady thumping of the tug's propeller, and all that could be seen ahead was the sombre, half-defined outline of the fort. At last the master of the tug report* -? - - __ u ed tdat ne couia go iu uu mnuu. The boats were then cast off and formed into divisions, and the command of that one which was to make the feint was given to Lieutenant (now Captain) T. J. Higginson, a brilliant and capable officer in whom I placed the most implicit reliance. He started off on his mission, but had no sooner begun to move than the other division commanders dashed away also, under the impression that the order to advance had been given. I at once made every effort to recall them, but in vain, and nothiug remained to be done but to order all the boats which were left to make the best of their way to the fort. By this most unfortunate misapprehension all the good effects of Mr. Higginson's demonstration were lost. On our way in, the barge fairly flying under the strokes of the oarsmen, we observed a large number of boats lying on their oars. We hailed them, and directed them to pull in and join in the attack; hut as no sign of a movement was made by them then? or, indeed, during the whole conflict? we believed that it was a force of General Gillmore's soldiers waiting the result of our demonstration. NOT A SURPRISE. On and on we went until we were under the very walls of the fort. Suddenly a quick, loud*hail came from the sentry on the parapets. No answer was returned, and a signal rock?r of flftw from the fort, hieb into the air. As it made its graceful curve and exploded, a storm of shot and shell burst upon our astonished ears, a rattle of musketry began, and as we grounded under the walls of the fort the air was filled with hissing, shrieking projectiles. The James and Sullivan island batterries seemed alive with fire, while one of the enemy's ironclads had movsd up to within close range, and was now sweeping the approaches to the gorge and firing grape and canistershot into the approaching boats. The parapets and crown of Sumter were filled with men who poured a murderous fire down on our defenseless party, and their heavy missiles and bandgrenades helped out the work of destruction. Before this fire had fully developed two boats from the Powhatan and a few others bad effected a landing. Their officers and men were unable to stand against the storm of missiles which assailed them, and they were finally driven to shelter and made prisoners. All these things showed plainly how jompletely the enemy had been aware of our plans, and what thorough preparation had been made to frustrate them. The "corporal's guard" exceeded our own numbers. Admiral Dablgren, who was watch rig the operations from a boat in the listance, says in his journal : Moultrie fired like a devil, the shells breakng around me and screaming in chorus." What then must have been the mpression in the midst of the storm, where the air was blazing with bursting shells, and the ear was deafened with the roar of cannon, the rattle of musketry, the whistling of grape and the explosion of hand grenades? Under these conditions, officers aud men falling from the murderous fire, and the boats running imminent risk of being all stove in, but one expedijnt seemed left?withdrawal. The order to retire was accordingly given and was repeated several times. Drawing out in the barge from the vortex of the fire, we remained near the fort to render assistance to any of our comrades who might be disabled. The firing gradually died away, and as day broke, about 4 o'clock we pulled to the flag-ship to report the results of the attack and to determine the extent of our loss? which we found to amount to 124 killed, wouDded and missing out of 400 men. So ended our attempt. There was material in the command, both in officers and men, which would have insured success had that been within the range of human endeavor. Five thousand men could not have captured the fort that night. GENERAL BEAUREGARD'S OPINION. After the war General Beauregard wrote me some letters on the subject of the attack. He said, among other things, to give me an idea of the full preparations for defence on the eighth : "Sumter had been reinforced, and when attacked contained 450 men. One of our ironclads had been ordered trv tol/o nn o nnaittnn in atvppn fhp W VU(\V u^/ U J/Ws<IVI<'ll ?V w ( vv^ ? ? approaches to. the gorge with canister and grape. The. guns in the shore batteries were loaded and traiued upon the approaches to the fort, and the men were ordered to stand by their guns, lockstring in hand. At the given signal of a rocket from the fort, all the batteries were to open." And further: "If our guns had not opened so soon and fired so rapidly, we would have captured or destroyed your whole command." This is true. Only one other attack was made in boats upon Fort Sumter. I find in the "Memoirs" of Admiral Dahlgren, under date of November 20, 1863, the following: "Last night the army undertook to feel the force in Sumter, and sent 200 men in boats for that purpose. About 30 yards from the fort a dog barked and aroused the garrison, which fired, wounding two of our men. A few shots were fired by the fort, and then there was quiet." This was the last demonstration of the kind attempted against Sumter, and the Confederate flag waved over its ramparts until the fall of Charleston. w~r?oore & co> OUR HARDWARE DEPARTMENT.
