The following incident in {he > late struggle is told by a gallant Virginian, * late Brigadler Ooneral C. 8. A., while testifying to the noble generosity of tbe man, shows tbe true characteristics of that heroic soldier : . A During the retreat of the Confederate army from Mary laud, on the day after ,, the battle of Sharpsburg, General Max- I n - Kl |L. rJ cy coinninuueu ui? rcarguaiu of the Army of Northern Virginia, Gen. T.T. Munford commanding the brigade of Cavalry covering the rear guard.? When General Munford reached the Ford .General Gregg and his men were just entering the Water to cross to the Virginia side of the Potomac. Near by was an ambulance fillcd'with gallant Confederates (many of them terribly wounded and- torn m the battle of the previous day,) entreating* their cony, railes to " carry thorn back to Old Virginia." General Munforil seeing that the frightened driver had abandoned them, taking his harness ami loam With him, apd that they were unable to. tide behind bis men, called Urheml Gregg's attention to the fact, whereupon tho generous old Roman, uncovering his bead, said t6 Iris men, " boys, sco yonder your comrades who have been abandoned by n cowardly driver 1 They ap peal to us for help 1 You who havo escaped unhurt will not leave these poor fellows to their fato in sight of old Vir ginia," In an instant they woro transferring their amis nnd knapsacks. Ono genoious lad, supposed to belong to tho 14ill South Carolina Volunteers, catching hold of tho singletrees of the ambulance, exclaimed " we will carry ihcm back to old Virginia." In lesa time than it takes to tell it, thirty of South Carolina's bravest sons were up to their waists in the water, bearing their comrade8 safely over the river," ambulance and aU?tho sid nnd glooiny countenances of tho unfortunates seeming almost to forget their wounds as thoy caught up the strain, "Olf carry ttie.back to old Virginia, to old Virginia shore." Those who were too weak to sing waving their bats and handke>chiefs, i and all were safely pbtced out of harm's way. As soon ns this had been accomplished General Gregg replaced his hat and rode away to eec that they were cared for. Aiany who were witnesses of this fcette will, no doubt, recnll tho remarks of tha\ erallant band of Virginians. . "What a m-ble old fellow T lio'lT do to tia to."-?

' ' . wfc 1t ,** VV, ? ft. ~ 4 t M B From tk# Albinj Argue, August 14. A Ghoit Story. A. house on Ida 11 ill, Troy, has for many years borne tbe reputation of being haunted, nnd .as the past few weeks have brought out new deveiopementa, we lay tbem before our reader*. The house 1n question stands on Fourteenth street, a little distance from Christie, and is a plain two story brickhouse, with back basement and enclosed stoops for each story, 'two families occupy the house, tioth of whom testify to many strange things, both concurrently and diveise. No buildings adjoin it on tbe south, but on the north two new ones, recently erected by Mr. William Cnry, are within a distance of a few feet. A good lock is on the front door, and the same on the back, and two or three doors always locked in the mgld time, must bo passed through to go from ono part to the other. The owner of the building is a well-known tanner, living on the Hollow road, and ho has owned the building for ^out eight scars, pmokn>ing it Jar below its vidua on nccooul of (ho reputation it thwn had. The neighborhood is veiy quiet and orderly, and very leW disturbances ever take place there, and as the families iuC neither rich, it.is scarcely probable that any burglar would tuke the trouble to enter, evbn if he knew the way was clear. The original inventor of tho place, it is said, was killed in some -unknown manner, and for three or four years after lire erection of the building, families could not be got to stop in it fdfr nioro than a month or two at a time. The mother of the fiwit ily up stairs, Mrs. X., has known the reputation of the house for a long lime, and has, at times, observed strange tilings which could not be accounted for, but has kept the information from In-r family* The family down stairs, that of Mrs. Y., have also known of these things for a long time, but have considered these disadvantages counterbalanced by the consideration of a ehcap rent. The most remarkable manifestations they has witnessed was three weeks -ago. Theodore X*. who is in ill tu>?l?l> had gono to Sacntog? to spend A short liinw. He usually "idopt at home in a 6uiall bed room oil' the back piazza, in a bed with bis brother Smith. '1'he former is about twenty one years of age, and the tatter about eighteen, nod Smith is, moreover, a stool and aclivo boy, allowing his mind to dwell on no nonsense. -On Sunday evening, when all but bimsoif and his mother were at church, he went to his bed room, and turned to sleep there tonight." She, knowing Do reason for Lis action, began ridi culing him, and he yveiti again to his rooty, soon -returning, however. .?SI?r iinquiied what the* niattpr vwi*, lypdlfe ; Said that hg shouldn't sleep-in that apartment. Jly, diut of-percua.-iont>he induced liiot agirin to go to.his d..rfoi-l toiv, lint on hi* /etuttf ihe-thiid time he saidt n Mother, I didn't waul to tell ydu before wiry 1 don't want to sleep there. The tir-t Ume 1 went out I met Theodore, face "to fcico ; the second, lie waVjust going into eur room ; and the third, lie win* lying -down on tb.e bed."- ' In accoidant'o with bis . request, * although 1J5 mother did not believe it, and tiled to dissuade him l - _ _ vill 111C OU litf, a bed wtja mad/in another fwrrt of "the bouses and lie scop went to sleep. At the conclusion or the church ?ervice", llio young htdies'of :he lioace cifme borne and went to "wilnyul seeing $nrith. A\>mit pndnigbl, tbo , heat being overpowering, tbev.gol ujr < and mjide tlieir bed on t lie fhlor of thfl k itch err, iuid bel-ween 12 ftnd I both bring awake aud looking ike same ,i direction, the door opeijpd wild a man walked in with nlow and sideinn tread. j Turning around aher lie enteied llio room, |?e walked to the fo rt of (ho4>ed i and put bin band ot> both of (hear.? < Tbiat lio did very quietly and -slowly, i with an abilrrftt Joofc. Dltp of the girl* I said be had a gash tw- tho side of bis face, aiij^ the blood eras (Towing from it d. wn on hi* shoulder ; but tbo ether, I who had a I/utter view, declared that the | blood down to iris fe!et. On.bii J tonciring tlieru, they atfeamctf nimulta- t neoualy, having been too much fright- 1 encd before, and tire figure raised up < from the door and floated out of the window at a point some eighteen feet above ground. t In another room, the mother, who f was alone, had her bed moved and set ( down again. The Ix d occupied hy the 8 brothers was examined in the morning, nod no appearance of any one lying p Iniarv J' ...oic was discoverable. All the t< Joors were lurked as iimiaI, and ik> w marks of any visitor were to be seen. n I ho apparition seen by tbe girls did not r< rsemble I lint viewed by the brother, as Ij t was < f n innn much taller, and of a ir lift, rent figure. nr, The AAiue nigftt at Saratoga, be* w ween 12 and 1 o'clock, tiro brother here saw a bleuk form, but without die- *' inguishaMn shape, in rive out of the v indow wit lion* apparent effort, and the *' riudow being a considerable distance bote 'ground. ft1 It is proper to state tbal this family i a wellduiown one in Troy, of un w ouhiod veracity, and their wtfid is le yi ood as their oath. The mother is a 1* leuiber of the Congress-street Church, nd has been for ttiany years, and tbe m hole family bears tbe higheat charae- m >r. They are personally known tolhg riter of lliis, and their names will lir jven to any one desiring to gratify a Ot gitimate curiosity.
