Blake, one -of General "A. P. Hill's most daring and successful scouts, had rather a singulur and ludicrous udventure some days ago. lie tfas captured by tlie enomv and sent to City Point as a spy. Fortunately, he had papers, ou his person to prove who and what he wus. Having been capjured several times before, he did not lose his self possession, but uuuui uiiu 10 see wuctner he could Dot make good his escape as he hud done on so many previous accounts. He was not long in discovering a newly drafted man, whose up pearance showed he was well to do in the world, and-whose melancholy visage told unmistakably his dislike of the army. Blake made up to him immediately, and, entering into conversation, soon learned that he was the most anxious of living Yankees to return "to hum," and willing to run considerable risk to accomplish his purpose. Blake's ready wit and cool head quickly concocted a plan. They slipped behind u house and exchanged clothes, Blake assuming the Yankee's name and the Yankee Bluke's?the Yuukee intendiug to go down to Fortress Mouroe as a prisoner of war, take the oath of allcgiuoce, and return to the bosom of bis family and pumpkin patch. Just then it occurred to Blake that he hail gotten himself in?n .. ??1 ....v- - utuiuiuij uua scrape ? Said be to himself, f*If I go* to this man's company and- try to palm myself off us him, I will certaiuly be detected arid forthwith hung as a spy. That won't begin to. do. I Vvill '' walk up the road and see if something won't turn up." No sooner said than done. He had walked but a f w hundred yards before Ire met a Yankee, mounted on a horse and lend-' ing two others. - "Where did you get those horses?" enquired Blake sternly.* "Got'em ' up the road a bit," said the .Yankee ; "they are stray horses," he added apologizingly. Blake put. on him most peremptory-nianner. "Stray devils!" he cried; "you know they are not stray horses. If you don't get down Tuis instant, you rogoo, I'll report you to headquarters and. have you shot for a thief." The Yankee jumped" down as quick as lightning. Blake took his place, ami after some little trouble in avoiding the enemy's pickets, brought, two of the bosses safely into ou> lines. What became of tt^g poor fellow with whom he swapped clothes it Is impossible to my. Richmond Examiner. An Old Man who has Shot Sixty Per sonb.?The Cairo correspondent of the *St' Louis Rtpublicun tells tliis story : "At one point on the Tennessee river there is a place that has become a terror to steamboat men, and in passing it they always find some place to secure thcmseivcs till tin- boat passes. At .this point an old man, sixty odd years of age, lias made bis headquarters ?or a long time, and the peculiar 'crack of bis gun is "familiar to river men, and sends a brill of terror wherever it is heard. He has a long heavy barreled gun, originally a squirrel rifle, which ha9'been bored out three ^...vibiau tllllCt, UII 111 now the largest thumb can easily be turned in tbc muzzle, and the aim of the old man is one of deadly certainty. The sentinel is always faithfully upon his watch, and his retreat has so far baffled all to catch him, from the fact that lie is so surrounded with dense swamps , and deep ravines. WeH informed river men estimate that this old man has killed iu this way not less than sixty persons; and yet he performs his work with as much earnestness and vigor as when he first commenced."
