number of farm animals drowned,
10,000; total square miles of

is a mineral as well as vegetable
life and that minerals also sprout
and increase like plants. He not ,
only thinks he thinks this, but .
he likewise says he knows what 1
electricity is. Here the common
sense individual feels that, it is (
time to draw the line on this
tremendous inventor, for tre- ]
medous he is, even though it be j
only stories he ii.vents. He says |
he has succeeded in growing gold

WAR REMINISCENCES.
About Island Number Ten.
BY "KNAPSACK."
In our school histories we read
of the bombardment of Island No.
10, the historians all making im
portant mention of it ; but none
as yet have called attention to the
fact that to-day vthere is no "No.
10." This has been true for many
years.
At one time in its history this
island bore on its proud bosom
several luxuriant farms, each one
having a large acreage and pro
ducing its quota of bales of cotton.
But to-day, these thirty-five years
since the great bombardment, it
lies submerged beneath the Mis
sissippi's inexorable waters, which
roll with cruel swiftness over the
historic spot. With stolid in
difference, the mighty stream
ba3 eaten away the fertile soil un
til nothing now remains but a bar
which lifts its head above the sur
face when the river is low in dry
summer.
Just thirty-five years ago "No.
10" stood above the waler sup
porting the proud works of the
Confederate battery. This was for
the purpose of guarding against
the encroachments of the Union
gun-boats, which were fain to pass
by and get control of the Father
of Waters. It had been the pian
of the Federals at the beginning
of the year 1862 to capture Forts
Henry and Donelson and thereby
get control of the Tennessee and
Cumberland rivers. This was ac
complished by Grant with seven
teen thousand men, aided by a
fleet of gun-boats. So now they
had possession of Kentucky and
a large part of Tennessee con
sequently they held NaahviLe,
Tenn, and Columbus, Ky., an im
portant fortress controlling the
upper Mississippi.
* *
*
Next step was to overcome the
confederates af. ; "No. 10" and
New Madrid, Mo, an adjacent
point, Batteries were erected
against the latter and it soon fell.
"No 10 was then bombarded
from the river," says a historian
"but tc no purpose." Pope could
not attack it; as it could only be
reached from the left bank, and
nt.
.'?bkr?. OU?; ?iC , -TIT
tr- -L S >-.? .J (r-W ??it-rr
iiiwU VW..? uunu me river to tne
upper battery located on the
Island, and spiked five guns and
a ten-inch Columbiad, before the
surprised garrison had time to
rouse itself and drive them off.
It is worth noticing that by thia
little exploit the Federals accom
plished more than in the .vhole
two weeks of firing.
Another dark night, two days
after the above exploit during the
terrible mixing of the elements,
a gun-boat, having a float loaded
with hay fastened on the exposed
side and a barge of coal on the
other to 'balance it, undertook to
slip the batteries. The night was
black with frequent flashes of
lightning, and the rain poured in
torrents.
*
As this Federal gun-boat came
even with the Island the sooty
chimneys caught fire and great
flames leaped ou t, but those aboard
realizing the danger of being dis
covered, immediately had the flue
caps closed. Strangely enough
this was not observed by the
sentry in the fort. However as the
awkward craft passed the upper
fort on the Island the smoke
stacks again caught Are and blazed
forth. Signal rockets arose from
the Confederate sentinels and im
mediately cannon began to fire
with continuous volleys into the
vessel. But her pilot bore her in
beneath the range of the guns.
Presently she escaped down the
river. A night or two later, another
boat passed by uninjured.
"Thus the doom of Island No. 10
was sealed."
The batteries in the Kentucky
shore were silenced shortly after
ward by the Federal gun-boats,
and the Island was taken. T'ae
Confederate commander, Gen Wm.
D. McCall, capitulated with two
or three hundred m< n ; the rept of
the garrison had fled and scattered
in the woods of the adjoining
Bhore. The Federal gun-boats
now had command of the Mis
sissippi to within sixty miles of
Memphis, by the fall of Island
No. 10. It ?ras the key to the
situation in the West, and with
its fall the Coufedereracy began
to decline.
Shortly after the war the old
fort or embankm?nt caved in, and
before many years the whole
island was divested of its alluvial
soil down to the lower clagey
?tratum beneath the water.
And now, standing as you may
it the little lauding on the op
posite shore, called "Bessie" and
observing the great clump of
[villows and cane through which
the mad waters go rushing and
swishing, one recalling its his
toric past, feelB ooutrained to
Itter with deep regret: "Alas!

THE OTHER SIDE.
Affidavit Made by J. Wm. Thur
mond, Esq.
The story of Solicitor J. Wm.
Thurmond, who recently killed
Will Harris, at Edgefield, has
never been given. At the recent
hearing of the motion for bail an
affidavit from Mr. Thurmond was
read as follower
"Personally came before me, J.
Wm. Thurmond, who being flrst
duly sworn saya, that late in the
afternoon of the 24th instant he
left his office for the purpose of
going to the office of Mr. Padgett,
with the view of spending the rest
of the evening at target shooting
-as he apd Mr. Padgett had often
done before.
"That on his way lo the office
of Mr. Padgett, he met Mr. Will
Harris, shook hands with him
cordially, exchanged pleasant
words with him and passed on his
way, not having the faintest or
most remote suspicion that any
truble would arise. Leaving Mr.
Harris he went on to the office of
Mr. Padgett, finding Mr. Padgett,
too much engaged to get out de
ponent went to postofflce with the
view to returning to his office.
"In going back to his office he
stopped at i he store of Mr. Lynch
and walked in without knowing
that Mr. Harris was in tho store,
if indeed he was in the store, for
the deponent does not recall whet
her Mr. Harris was then in the
store or came in afterwards, but if
deponent had known that Mr.
Harris was then in the Btore he
would not have hesitated co stop,
for then or therefore nothing had
occured to excite his apprehen
sion that anything unpleasant
would arise.
"When Mr Harris came into the
store-if he was not then in the
store-he addressed deponent *tnd
said you belong to the d-Till
mauite party.
J "Deponent cannot recall all that
i was said, but Mr Harris Paid furth
er, 'You got on your belly and
crawled, like a d-dog for office
and pledged yourself to support
Tillman aud his party nnder all
circumstances, andd-you he will*
kick you out when you fail to do.
"Deponent replied quietly.
"That ie false.' Thereupon Mr
Harris quickly jerked out a large
knife and opened it. Deponent
stepped back. Mr Harris walked
to where another drummer sat and
said : 'I have a d- good knife and
a Colt's pistol in my pocket,' and
came back towards the front door
and out on tbe pavement, where he
had a short talk with another
drummer. Mr Harris came back
into the store to a barrel by which
deponent was standing, and fl nur
sed his knife in the face of de
nent.
"With the view of ending the
..lk, in order that no difficulty or
. nplcasantness might arise, do
, ouent walked oui of the store and
went direct to his office.
J -TIT reatr enan n r&mrrjut?s arter
^ononeut reached- his office, Mr
is and Capt DuBosa came
y down the sidewalk which
s *a deponent's door, and said
to the deponent: You evaded the
question up yonder.' Deponent
asked: 'What question.' He ans
wered, The question about the d
Tillmanite party, and d-you,
you ran away from there, so that
I did not tell you what I think of
you.' Deponent said : 'Will, what
is the matter with you?' He said :
'You acted the d-scroundrel and
stinking dog to my father.
"Simultaneous with these words,
with his knife in his hand, he
sprang as if to rush into the door
and assault deponent, and de
ponent kicked him backwards from
the door. Immediately and quick
as thought Mr. Harris threw his
right hand under his coat, and to
his hip pocket, and instantly
deponent fired. Mr. Harris threw
his right hand to his breast, there
being no pistol in his hand,
deponent fired no more.
"Mr. Harris's movement of his
right hand to hip pocket was
distinct and unmistakable, and
deponent did not doubt tbat he
would draw and fire instantly,
hence deponent fired as quickly as
possible.
"Deponent did not doubt that
he was in imminent peril of his
life and that the promptest action
upon his part was a necessity, in
order to save his own life.
"Deponet solemnly assures the
court that he fired under unquest
ioning conviction that instant
action was necessary for hta own
protection."
