It seems an enormous number now, when by consulting the Congressional lM*rectorv, wo find there arc uono in nil this proud Republic. lJut twelve or fifteen years ago even that, Incredible as it may appear to us to-day, was considered a small number. They wore private soldiers; there were even hundreds of thousands of them. And they wore useful. They dug trenches ; they constructed long linos of breastWorks, aiul then, whou the enemy citnc within sight they climbed -over them, and went outside of them to fight. They worked and watched and fought.

Oh, they were useful Some historians have even gone so far as to maintain tint, without them the war could hardly have keen car licit on. They were really quite useful. And uow they arc all gone.

Hayes re- 1 turned tlio lire with a revolver, shooting Harris in the nock atul arm. Harris ran 1 and was overtaken about a mile from the house and returned to jail. As morning came, the matter was discussed. Crowds 1 gathered ut the Public Square and attempts 1 were made to foreo the jail. A mob organ- ? i/.cd and boarded trains to present the militia 1 or officers coining from abroad. The crowd 1 was all the thno^iucjteasiqg^ml * _r of Thomas, who was ' well liked. 'The wildest rumors went* 1 through the city and the mob became more 1 and more excited. About uoou a colored hoy was driven from the Square and fired at. lie got t wo shots in the back and head, hut was not seriously hurt. A,s evening approached, the mob with- 1 drew to the woods west of town, organized, masked, and waited until ID o'clock and ' then marched into town like Ku Klux, silently and in good order. The jail was ' guarded by men with shot-guus and one 1 piece of artillery, hut the guards wore t quickly overpowered, and Ilayes, the ? Deputy Sheriff, thrown down and the keys takeu away, while the mob" and crowd fired guns and revolvers, so as to create a panic. The foiir ravlshers, Win. Chau.fccT3, James, j Hood, J.

While the noise of the hammer sounded, old Harris was butchered in the corridor by relatives of bis victim, and tho pieces thrown down the privy vault, unknown to the outside crowd.
