Scout Life.
Tho following sketch of scout life,
by Gen. 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.
