Fremont was pushing iron the direction of Harrisonburg, Shields Up' the Luray Valley to cut Jackson off from Brown’s gap, which it seemed ho could do. Jackson faced this peril with his habituabphlcgm^tesulily reining to gel away front Shields, and when Fremout pressed his rear, striking, viciously at him. And in ono of these heavy blows at the enemy in rear Ashby met his death. • t, That morning he had charged and dispersed near Harrisonburg a force of ahout-2^M>b ¥e4*r*l eavafry, capturing- their commander, Sir Percy Wyndhani, an Ei.glish military adventurer who had made public his intention to “bag Ashby.’’ In the afternoon, as the enemy wore pressing on, Ashby formed the design at flanking them on their left, and rode to Gen. Ewell, command ing Jackson** rear guard, to propose ttV He and Ewell Consulted on the plan, and it was determined upon. A brave soldier, Gcnolhl Bradley T. Johnson, of Mary- ladd—ono of the truest sons of tho South, as well as tho most delightful of companions—afterwards spoke of Ash by’s appearance on this occasion. “His black face was in a blaze of erthusiasm. Every feature beamed with tho joy of tho soldier. He was gesticulating, and pointing out tho country and portion s to Gen. Ewell. I could imagine whaf he was sayiug by tho motion of his right arm. I pointed him out to my Adju tant. "r “Look at Ashby; see bow he is en joying himself !’’ —^ These words afford an accurate idea of the pcroonal appearance of the man and ora the cachet uf his individuality English Mixed Pickles—One- half p*ck of small, groen tomatoes; three dozen small cucumbers; two Leads of cauliflower; one-half peck of tender string beans; six bunches of oelary; six green pepport, and a quart •f small, white onions. Chop the veg etables quite floe, sprinkle with salt, and let stand over night; to six or seven quarts of vinegar add one ounce each of ground cloves, allspice and pep per, two ounces of turmeric and four ounces of mustard seed ; lot the vinegar and spioes come to a boil, put in the vegetables and scald until tender and a little yellow. The Champion Swindle.—On Inst Friday the cashier of one of our city banks received a letter from a highly respectable and intelligent lady in tho country, requesting advice about selling five shares of Georgia Railroad stock, which ho held in trust for her, with the view of investing the proceeds iu an in stitution which pledges one hundred per cent, per aonum.- The letter was headed ooufideutial, and the following extracts, published verbatim, we pub lish as a caution and warning to the un suspecting and unwary upon whom the swiudle is intended to operate: “It has very lecently been made known to me that there exists in this city a kind of charitable depository for money intended for the sole benefit of single ladies and widows of small means. No deposit less than f 100 can be made, and not over six hundred is allowed. The interest paid on money deposited is at the rate of 14 per week on every $200, amounting to $208, interest for one year upon $200 deposited. You will be incredulous about this, so I will tell you all I know of the institution, or at least all I can tell, for the design is to keep it a secret from the general public. The depoeitory is only a branch of a larger body, the origin of which is a fund left by some Quakers, but iu what place the great headspring exists, I do not know. The manner or mode of de positing money is as follows : Any lady who has a deposit there already, and who has become well known to the wo man who transact tho business, can privately inform any friend she may know as needing the benefit of sueff an institution, rad can properly apply for it. There must be a promise of strict eeerecy. If the informed person can raise the money, she can deposit at any time by getting her informer to vouch for her, that she has no husband, is a respectable lady and Las only limited means for her maintenance. The wo- m«} iffrt fri irrrfr the business told my " that she will on the let of September pay in advenes the Interest up to tbe’to^ef January next, ■o if I have $400 to invest before that date, she will pay bm back $13$ ($8 |«r week for seventeen weeks) as my l&frHt to Jtnaary."—Augusta Chroni cle and Constitutionalist, as a soldier on tho field. Ewell gave him tho Forty-eighth Vir ginia, a very small regiment, and Ashby hurried to the right, to make the cir cuit through the woodland, and attack the Federal flank. It was a beautiful evening. The fields were green with wheat, and the birds were singing iu tho thick foliage of the woods. The lazy clouds floated white against the blue summer sky. It whs a good place and time to die in, if one must die. Ashby advanced on horseback, at the head of his infantry, his bronze face full of the joy of coming battle, bis mood impatient at the slow march of tho foot- soldiers, so different from cavalry. Sud 'denly, From' the edge of the weed,' in front, a heavy volley was fired into their faces. By a singular chance, the enemy had conceived the same design as bim- •elt—to cxocute a flank movement—or had extended their left further than wa- expectcd. Ashby’s horse was killed— it was the same horse ridden by Stone wall Jackson at the battle of Manassas —and, rising to bis feet as the animal fell, Ashby led his men impetuously, -houting, “Virginians, charge!" Ashe uttered this cry he staggered, went a few steps forward waving his sword and fell. A Minic ball had pierced his left side near the heart, then his lifted arm, and this ball entered from behind. One of his own friends, iu the confusion of the sudded attack, firing wildly, had killed the best beloved of the Valley army. Planters, ATTENTION!
