In the summer of 1:1 Wirt Adamn's i cavalry, after an arduous campaign. rested to recruit men and horses m r Shepherd's old fields in Copiah cou':tv. Missis :ippi. Food and f.rage r abundant; the herses grew fat, anu (ate: lazy life soon wearied the men, V home was in the sidlle. Timue d: but Sergeant Heath's old Creeper A a diversion, one morning, by sLmped ing the brigade horses, which were all 1i looco at grass. Creeper knew a thing or two, and counted on fua when he lei his plans. Working around the two p thousand grazing horses, until all w t ee between himself and the camp in tLe woods, the old horse, whose wisdom was i known %nd acknowledged throcghout E the brigade, took his stana and surve"red m the ground. With a wild snort ant a ft ringg neigh he spravg into the nei. a2 What heintended to convey to the -n- se derstanding of his fellows I cannot a.y, t' but a panic seemed to seize each separ..te beast, and with thundering hoofs i-ey i bore down upon the camp. Then was a, 4 here "mounting in hot haste" the I :riendly trees beneath whose shelter we ja bivouacked. Mad, blind with an un named terror, and turning not as e, like an avalanche the flying squadoxn. swept through the camp. WIth i streamning mane and tail, head on hi, A and tashing eyes, that old demon Cre"p er led his frightened hosts. It was pant to see that he gloried in the mischief Le 1 had wrought. ATTACING TE. CAVALY.t The camp monotony was broken at v last when the outlying scouts reper: -d b< the advance of a Federal incursion from k< Bruinsburg, on the Mississippi riv:r. Thisforceof white and nigro ireeps, h: composed of infantry, cavalry, and f41id1 o. artillery, and amounting in all to abo-ut y 1,200 men, had been landed from trans- m ports on the river, presumably for ' e purpose of surpnLing and capturirg r force at Shepherd's old fields. Tim y C warning enabled General Adams to mn ':t m them more than half way. Eleven mies of south of Port Gibson is Coltman's lal, " in the county of Jefferson, and iere advance parties of the hostile forces m Hot skirmishirg and an exchange 0t cc shells from the field batteries on eit: erl side opened the engagement. Hee a n, curious, and perhaps unique, casua:ty i u occurred. Our cavalry was dismout- T] ing, preparatory to an advance on fco.0su An officer was seated on thc top rail oi a p% fence bordering the road. A shell fr a! the enemy struck the rail at one (d i; t without exploding. The rough rail was I to driven with tremendous force from un- i se der the officer, leaving a great splin-erIre three or four feet long, and of the thick- ce neEs of two fingers, transfjiing the un-! T happy man's tnighs and projecting a lo foot or more beyond each hip. T'c man swore with rage and pain, repeliag le all approaches on the part of frieu is, to until Dr. Martin coming up forcibiy . broke off one projection of the touh Vi oak and drew out the remainder from n< the other side. The wounds healed aind h< the captain soon resumed his duties. but he he heard not the last jibe on that "cross ed buttock" thrust uuntil be met a soldier's a death in the closing days of the struggle. se DBIvnlG THE FEDEA~ 'MCK. a The enemy had posted himself in ran about Coleman's dwelling, barns and outbuildings. Here we assaulted himre and drove him out and back after a shert resistance. The Federal force greatiy outnumbered ours, but would assur-edly have been captured had the white con tingent been as easily demoralized as; were the negro soldiers. Time after time these men, composing the reair gu!rl as the Federal commander drevwj off ln, forces, were broken and huriedt helter-skelter upon the main body, and only the stubborn fighting of the white troops enabled any portion of the comn mand to escape. Darkness fell while wea still pursued them, and the chase was' rot given over until near midnight,I when exhaustion compelled a halt. Da~y break found the enemy on board his transports, and the fleet steamed awvay for Natchez. I have often thought tat had the Federal force been skillfully' commanded on this occasion General' Adams would have found that this attack U was a rash venture. Had his force been Sthird larger not a blue coat would have s ce'aped. To the best of my knowledge .. Con-federate force did not exceedn .rhundred men, while I am sureI 2~c three times that number of the1 eeThey had also the gdvantage ton, taken as soon as mas aware of our approach. Our first rush,.however, drove them from it, and their othecers found it impossible fully to rally the negro troops. They would stand when we paused, but each succeeding onneth speedily broke their ranks. Their lireu was very high. Far above our heads the g minie bullets sang an angry chorus, and o: our loss was trifling. At intervals, when al crossing an eminence, a man would falljll in darkness. Andrew Battle, a ruggedn Irishman, went back for a horse to carry c: off the body of Ed Sueduskie, a mess- t. mate. "Whom have you there?" he wa aked' from a bank on the roadside. ii "Poor Ed Sueduskie, as dead as h--!" b~ he answered. "That's a lie, Battle!" n replied his questioner, who was none il other than Sueduskie himself. Down ft went the unknown dead upon the e groun 3, and Battle, witha an oath stronga ly suggestive of isgust, resumed his place among the pursuers. A youngt cavalryman, intent un glory, went, contrary to orders, mounted into the I action. Soon he was seen on foot rumh-t ing to the rear. "Hello, Jones, where now?" "My horse was shot from under I me and I am going back for another." Agin he tlies to thae rea and agai ri - ports his horse killed. Five separate!i times that day and night his horse was "shot through and through." Next asy all five of these unfortuuate animals we found unscratched, peacefully graziang among the slain.

Authentic in rmation said there should be two de rters thereabou&. Two of our par.y y all night under the house listening the conversation of the inmates, but >t a word was dropped of advantage to ir quest. Openly in daylight the use was visited and diplomacy used in in. The women woul not be led into traying their lords, but received with en suspicion and reserve all our ad nces. Surrounding and searching the >.se in the small hours after midnight ly gave us our labor for our pains. Nt the men were knoein to be at least . communication with their homes, and ir orders to take them were imperative. e visi1e membtrs of the househoid nist d of a bedridden old woman, two iddle-age d women, and a small army white-haire-d scions. A second tizmc i-s were pwcd under the house, ai out m4 ght one of theim came to te nde.'ous and rep(;rted that L and h;s Lpa nin ad heard !eing ovei .ad, and believed! they had detected a an's voice. At once the house was rxounded and admittance demanded. ae door was opened, and the women llenly demanded why we continued to xrsecute them. They asserted in the rongest terms that the where.abouts of eir husbands was absolutely unknown them, and declared that they had not en or heard of them for montLs. Dis-: garding all their protestations, we p! o ded to turn the cabin topsy-turvy. he scant furniture was moved and tie ft ransacked in vain. Nothing re ained but the bed on which the he.,) ss old woman lay. When called upon rise that it might be overhauled, she ept and her daughters remonstrated olently. They vowed that she could, >t get up, and to move her would kill r. The lieutenant approached to lift; r, when she sprang at him and attack !him with the ferocity and celerity of: tigress. Leaving him to dcfend him if against her long talons, we tore. way the bed clothing, and under the: >ards was revealed a box-like structure herein lay the objects of our search. he were wretched, craven-looking ea~tures and shivered and whined as we: -igged their limp carcases out. IN FEM1ALE ATTIRzE. We watched another house for days id assed a small field where two wo en cultivated a crop of corn. The man e wanted was not to be seen. The omen gave no indications that the~y 2ew the nature of our errand, but ould talk at any time with apparent ankness. The wife of the deserter said zat her husband had abandoned her id that she and his sister, who lived ith her, had a hard struggle to keep the ol f from the door. We were all but vinced of this fact, and should hav-e en wholly so but for the direct and thentic manner in which we had been iformed to the contrary. Finally we ere compelled to abandon this case -om sheer lack of any clew to work pon, as, in spite of constant and rigid pionage, we made no headway and tw no suggestive action on the part of e two women. The detective instinct ust have been utterly lacking in every iember of the- squad, for we learned >metime after that the alleged sister-in w with whonmwtr a frequently con acwhom we had many times en at work in the field, was simply the, serter himself, clothed in one of his ife's homespun go-vns. A TErannrr sIUrr. Another case was that of a man who sd no family. He was a shaggy, arded giant and owned two old ne coes, who guarded him and the secret his haunts with a sagacity and fidelit y most supcrhuman. His habit was to e out in the woods, seldora approach zg the house, and the negro servants mtrived to provide for his daily sus nance in i-pite of all our eil'orts to pre et it. It would have been easy to event the negroes from going to him y placing them in duress, or by re ovg them altogether from the scene. ;t this might have defeated our ends, r we knew not how close the hider ght be lying and had no assurance a we ourselves were not under his ob rvation, for the dense woods and ikets encroached directly upon the aall clearing in which the house stood. a default of a better plan we at length sok measures to keep the old servants nder close surveillance for twe-nty-four ours uininterruptedly.

Te Cott.u Moveueit. The New York Financial Chronicle, in its review of the movement of the cotton crop for the week ending on the night of August 26, says that the total recelots have reached 19,270 bales, against 9,649 bales last week, 7,270 bales the pre vious week, and 1,409 bales three weeks sidnce. The exports for the week reach a total of 22,315 bales, of which 17,585 were to Great Britain, 2,548 to France, and 2,182 to the rest of the continent. The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 387,000 bales. For im mediate delivery the total sales foot up 11,276 bales, including 5,475 for export, 5,801 for home consumption. The imports into continental ports for the week have been 1.3,000 bales. There is an increase in the cotton in sight of 83,324 bales as compared with the same date of 1886, an increase of 58,576 bales as compared with the cor responding date of 1885, and a decrease of 313,958 bales as compared with 1884. The old interior stocks have increased during the week 284 bales, and were, Friday night, 21,384 bales less than at the same period last year. The rceeipts at the same towns have been 727 bales less than the same week last year. Although the receipts at the outports the past week were 19,270 bales, the actual movement from plantations was only 19,-510 bakLs, tue balance going to iLeresse tlio stceik at the intLrior towns. Last year the receipts from the plant ons'for the same weck were 12,207 bales, and fcr 1,85 they were 12,621 bales. The fifures from i;omubay show a de creae coamuared with last year in the week's receiuts of 2,uOIJ bales, and no change in shipments, and the shipments since January 1 show an increase of 46, 000 bales. Since January 1 the total ex ports of cotton to Europe from all India have been 1,332,000 bales. The Chronicle says that cotton for fu ture delivery at New York for the week under review has been sluggish, and re stricted almost wholly to the brokers aud reguiar operators on the floor of the Cottou Exchange, attracting very little atttntion from outside parties. The feature of the week was the sharp ad vance on Saturday last, on a demand to cover contracts, arising from the belief: that "bear" influences had been exhaust ed for the present. Monday and Tues day saw the loss of part of this advance under sales to realize. Foreign advices and crop accounts had little effect, be cause not very decided in their character, but the increased receipts at the ports were a depressing influence on Monday. On Thursday notices were freely issued for deliveries on August contracts, ssith a very depressing effect upon options fo this month and weakenmng the whole market, to which the fall oi needed rain in Texas and liberal receipts at Galves ton in some degree contributed. Friday there was a further decline and a very unsettled feeling. Cotton on the spot has met with a good demand for export and home consumption, and quotations were advanced on Saturday, Tuesday and \vednesday--1-16e. each day. Friday prices receded 1-16c., middling upiands closing at 9 13-16c. The Chronicle's weather reports indi cate that beneficial rains have fallen inj portions of Texas during the week, but that at some points the drouth continues. The correspondent at Columbia, Texas, reports that in consequence of showery weather, caterpillars have become nu merous and are doing much damage. At other p uts in the South the conditions haebe fairly favorable. Picking is A Remarkable case. John H.

When ti money was promptly paid, th kidnappe persons were usually reh-asEd, accordinv to promise; but in many instances fresh demanid was made, followed bi another, and another as long as ther were the slightest prospects of furthe gain. A ILOOD-CIuDLXG- TALE. One of the most celebrated cases o this kind was that of Geneiel Cervantes which occurred, 1 bt-lieve, in 1874. H< was a proniine-nt politieh.n, in the prim( of life.~belng to a fimily of grea wealth and inrliece, and the miscreant who captured him aell knew that hii people would move Heaven and earti for his release. Well, days and weeki went by, and though the country wa: scoured for the missing man no trace o him was discovered, or was likely to b< so long as a penny could be gained b3 his retention. His family spent thou sauds of dollars in the vain search, and in repeatedly depositing large sums oj money for his ransom, as indicated b3 mysterious p-lacairds, until they wer( completely impoverished; and then, moved by the tears of his distracted young wife and the prayers of his aged mother, the government offered a con siderable amount for bis restoration Bat stillno Cervantes appeared. At lasi by the merest accident he was discover ea-in the heart of the populous city and within a stone's throw of his own dwelling-under the floor of a deserted house, lying flat upon his back in a place barely wide enough to hold him, gauged, bound hand and foot, with several well-sharpened daggers thruet within a hair's breadth of his body, so that if h. should have stirred they would have pierced him. Having remained so long in this terrible condition he was barly alive when found, and it was only after weeks of careful nursing, during which time he lay speechless and his life hung by a thread, that he was able to tell his advetures; and meantime, of course, the miscre.nts had ample oppor tunity to escape. It seems that late one evening he was standiug in his own door, when sudden ly a zerape was thrown over his head by some unknown persons and drawn so tightly as to prevent any outcry; then he was placed in a carriage and driven rapidly a very long distance, as he sup posed. Doubtless the rapid drive, they having returned to nearly the same point w-hence they started, was intended for a "blind," and he never believed himself so near home. The faces of his captors he never saw, for they were closely masked, and they visited him only at night by the dim light oF lanterns. Hav ing gagged and bound him, they first talked of taking down a portion of the wail and bricking him him up, leaving a loose place where a brick or two could be removed when it was necessary to feed him; but, fortunately for him, they decided upon the tloor as less trouble some to thiemselves. Tearing up a plank and placing him under it, he was found to be too corpulent, despite all their crowding, to allow the board to fit in the place again, so a little earth was dug out to accommoda.te him with a living sepulchre. A few small holes, bored above his face, admitted sufficient air to keep him in existence, and there he re mained for weeks, helpless, voiceless, antombed alive within sight and sound of his home, while his friends were ran sacking the world for him. Every night his captors came, removed the plank and haled him up, and with the point of a dagger at his throat took out the gag and gave him food, and then walked him up and down the room awhile for exer cise. B3yand by hegrew so weak as to be incapable of outcry or resistance, and then his keepers forced stimulants down his throat, and dragged him about for needed exercise, desiring to keep the breath of life in him as long as money might be forthcoming. Finally, be lieving him about dead and that all re sources of profit had been exhausted, they added mental torture to his misery by assuring him that his friends had re f sed to pay anything for his ransom, and crowdling' him under the plnk agai, they left him to die at leisure. It happened that very night that a heavy storm came up, and a beggar entered the deserted dwelling for shelter, by chance seating himself upon the boarud under which Cervantes lay. Hearing faint moaning, apparently proceeding from the lower regions, the fellow was frightened nearly to death, believing i it came from some ghost, and he ran sfrizdghtway to the nearest priest. Strangely e'ugh, in this lazy country, where superstitlts fancies are of coin mon occrrence, seareZ was instituted, and what remained of poor Cervantes was rescued-not an hour too soon. -- F-eel So WeHi." --r w~u - 1lhi-k 3 ou r~ tellingr ine of I a.Pier.6 avorite P rese-iptio,- wie buyw frie:d.
