Wade Hampton, is taken from tho August number of the Land a'e Love: Cant. John Esten Cooke, in his last book, "Wearing of the Grey"-a most interesting and captivating work-has given a chapter to this same subject. Ho gives various gal laut deeds and hair-breadth escapes as occurring to one of those brave men, whom I recognize well, though bis uatne is not mentioned, but ho j omits one exploit which was among tho most remarkable of his career. J lu supplying this omission, I shall preserve tho incognito of S-, tia Capt. Cooke boa not given his name, j Tho occasion to which allusion is j hero made, took pince when Meade 1 lind his anny camped near Culpeper ; Court House, and tho object wita to endeavor' to osoortain the position, : numbers, &c., of the Federal troops. H--. undertook to accomplish this object, and ho adopted apian worthy ' of his boldness-aud addles.--. Dis? guising himself an a country woman, he procured a small cart, which he loaded with poultry, vegetables, &c, and he drove boldly into tho Yankee lines, whero ho made application for 1 a pass. This he obtained; he then sold his stock, and after spending three days af Meade's headquarters, he left Iiis friends in blue, bringing in to Gen. Stuart all tho information i desired. This anecdote forms the ^>nly exception to tho statement .nado by mo previously. Tba* only such ns came under my pcrsoual ob? servation would be given. This oc? curred before S-~- was associated with ns, as lie was after Gen. Stuart's death; bnt I have every reason to bo . lieve that the affair happened just as has beai described. Solecling special scouts and parti- i cnlar incidents from tho whole num- | ber, as 1 propose to do, I beg now to introduce to your readers, Sergeant Sbadbou-ne, of the Jeff. Davis Le? gion, wbso exploits would of them- | selves icm a volume. Shadbourne i was dtAiled as a scout by Gen. j Hauipto, und he was constantly en- | gaged o? this duty until tho end of the war. He was a yoting man, of very prepossessing appearance, tall, active ad resolute. Ordinarily, he appearcc ta be only a handsome young fllow, with large, soft, mild oyes; bu as soon as a light began, he became transformed instantly into tho dosing cavalryman; his wholo soul scened to be in the battle/'and his blue, oyo blazed like fire. Armed with ateast two pistola, and often three, ? would dash against tho ene? my, ling with a rapidity and preci? sion, m surpassed by even Mosby, i who wi "very haudy with his pis- \ toi." ut in all the excitement of a i battle,Shadbourne was perfectly ! cool, ndy for any emergency, or to 1 avail hnself of any advantage. On ? occasiis of this sort, ho proved that 1 possessed qualities which only trded a wider field for their exerei to make him a leader. As Ulusteive of this, I shall give, first, an account of*one of 'his p?rf?tm nnces, which was ; witnessed by my? self. If you remember, Wilson and Kautz, with a large f oro?,. made a raid against the Southside and Dan? ville Railroad. At Stanton River Bridge, they wero repulsed and re? turned to join Grant near Petersburg. Near Stony Creek, they wero met by our cavalry and defeated with loss. Retreating towards Reams' Station, they were met by Fitz Lee and Ma houc, when their rout became com? plete and final. Kautz pushed down to cross the Halifax Road, so that he could get into his lines, while Wilson fled towards tho Nottaway River. Shadbourne was sent by Gen. Hamp? ton, just after the fight at Reams' Station, to find where tho enemy wero. Taking five men with him, ho moved up a country road leading from Halifax to the stage road. On this, he had not proceeded far, when ho met tho advanced guard of Kautz's retreating column. He at once order? ed them to surrender, when they bo? gan to deploy. Without a moment's hesitation, ho gavo orders in a loud voice for "two regiments to be brought up; ono on tho right, tho other ou the left." As soon as this order was given, tho Yankees said they would surrender. Placing one man on one side of tho road, and oc? cupying the other, Shadbourne di? rected the Yankees to advance and drop their arms. While doing this, tho main column of the enemy came in sight, and seeing the condition of their advanced guard, they charged to release them. But Shadbourne wu8 too quick for them. He put his prisoners in motion, g ci arded by three men on each Hank, made them gallop, then form fours, and all swept down towards our command. As soon as his prisoners were closed up, and charging from their own men, ho despatched ? man to inform Gen. Hampton to "look out, for thc Yankees were charging down the road he was on." The General im? mediately took a few men back ami soon met Shadbourne, who had brought oil'safely seventy-three pri? soners, the whole advance squadron of Kaiitz's command, and this, too, in full sight of the enemy! For thi.~ feat, Shadbourne was highly euiu di mented by his coniniaudiug officer, and ho was recommended for promo tion, on the ground of his "extrabr diuary skill and gallantry," shown bj him iu his conduct of thia affair. On one occasion, he was betrnyet by a negro, while sleeping in thc limos of the enemy, and was captured While his captors wero taking hin off, he requested them to look for hi hat, which had bee . dropped. Ii the pretended search for thia, he go near u wood, when uashing throngl the surrounding enemy, ho mad* into it, followed by a volley from tb ?whole party, and a vigorous pursuit whioh proved fruitless. Subsequently, he, with anot-he bravo scout-young Swan, of tho ls .North Carolina Cavalry-was cap tn red in Fr?der?cksbnrg. They wer baud-cufled, and sent by water to th guard-boat near Fortress Monroe with the constant assurances fron their humane captors that they woul be surely hung. Not likiug thi prospect, they managed to slip thei hang-cuffs, dropped over-board swam to a small boat anchored neal and after several hours' hard rowing reached the shore of the Jami River. Here they found a sum party pf our men on signal duty, an Shadbourne also ascertained that company of negro cavalry was in IL htibit of patrolling a certain rou every day. Getting tho signal part to join them, our two scouts forme an ambush for the Yankees, attack* them, aud killed nineteen, besieh their commanding officer. This a fair gavo arms nod horses to Sha< bourue and his scouts, so getting h men together, he brought them Gen. Hampton, in North Carolin . where ho served until tho surrend I of Gen. Johnston, killing und ca j turing Yankees to the close, with pt ^ Severence and most untiring energ [ Such are a very few of the in< dents iji the career of this galla young' soldier. Brave, skillful, de* voted, he was unsurpa ssed in bia line of duty, and much, of the information which reached the- Army of Northern Virginia, as to Federal movements, came through him. Jcrnniilem-Present and Future. It is difficult to say what degree of truth there may be in tho late report to which the European correspond? ents at Belgrade have given currency -that wbilo the Turkish opuncil wero considering by what means they might obtain money to defray the expenses of tho Sultan's visit to Paris, a proposal was made by oue of tho high officers to sell Jerusalem to Russia, and that Turkey is be? lieved to be willing to sell both Jeru? salem and Jaffa for 100,000,000 of piasters. Even if the report be trne, which wo are inclined to donbt, the Western powers, upon whom Turkey depends for protection against the aggrandizing schemes of Russia, would have something to say before Russia would bo permitted to obtain possession of tho Holy Land, ?ind Europe, which fought so hard to ex? pel the Turks from Jerusalem, might light as bard again to keep them there. Besides, the Sultan is, after all, only tho nominal owner of tho laud, for tho Rothschilds, Monte- I Hores, and othor wealthy Jews of Europe, have liens upon it for money loaned to Turkey to u greater amouut than tho finances of that Government can ever repay. It is not likely, therefore, in view of their equitable ownership of the soil, that the Sub lime Porto will undertake to transfer tho property to Russia or tiny other 1 purchaser, or that, if it does, such u ' proceeding will bo submitted to. Whether the report be true or not, j we cannot but observe how often, of late, some event or circumstance is j mentioned in the European journals j calling attention to this most remark? able and interesting of all lands. Overrun successively by Assyrian, Persian and Roman, and afterwards Subjected to tho ride of the .Saracen and Moslem Turk, it has boen, for the last 1,S00 years, destitute of phy? sical or moral fruitfulness, while yet the religious influenc?s winch pro? ceeded from it havo survived the lapse of ages, and live so strongly in the hearts of mankind that the men? tion of Jerusalem has, to the Chris? tian world, all the interest of a house? hold name, while the children of Israel, wherever scattered, will never forget it till thoir right band forgets its cunning. There are some note? worthy facts in connection with mo? dern Jerusalem, which givu reason for hope that something of its former prosperity may again be restored. There are numerous steamers plying the Mediterranean, and putting into Jaffa, u good seaport, anciently called Joppa, and, wo believe, a railroad from Joppa to Jerusalem, so that a 1 man can travel by steam from nli tho groat commercial cities of tho world almost, if not quite, to the walls of tho Holy City. Tho pecuniary inte? rest which tho Rothschilds, and other wealthy Isrnclitish capitalists havo in the country will form a powerful im? pulse to efforts on their part to im? prove its condition and increase its population, which is their only chunco of realizing their investments. These a.* j two facts, taken together, which tiive color to the idea that those efforts will not be entirely with? out sneenss. Thus, we see, on one hand, powerful influences desiring to attract immigration; and, on thc other, dispersed through all lands, aro n peoplo whoso identity bas been miraculously preserved, who abso? lutely refuse to amalgamate with other nations, who have no geogra? phical ties which cannot be readily relinquished, and who, industrious and prosperous, with their wealth in a portable shape, aud a prevalent conviction that their race will one day return to their fatherland, stand in an attttudo of readiness, and, many of them, of willingness, to aid in restoring to its former prosperity a land which is capable of recupera tion, and which was once the glor; of the whole earth.-Baltimore Sun.
