there was no peace DISASTROUS END OF A GOVERNMENT SURVEY IN FLORIDA. Lieut. HartftulT ami m Handful of Hol< tiler* Surprised by Recreant Seminole*. Bloody Fight In the Swamp* and a Wonderful Struggle for Life. [Copyright by American Frees Association.] v, KETCH CD by a friendly baud the 1/ m soldier career of Gen. George 1a t Hartauff. U. S. A., | haa been gummed up aa follows: “Brought to the very verge of death five times in the direct and im mediate c o n 8 e quence of the per formance of mili jPtary duty; with " ^ many ar^arH and — B — with two bullets in hi* body receivetl inbaUle; without ever having been arrested or subjected to reprt maud; with a reputation, in abort, free from apot or blemish.” There may now be added to this that he died from injuries received in his country’s service, and an at tained a glory that the warlike ancients set high pri/.e upon. The story I have to tell of u deed of dar ing which in youth marked the manhood of Hartsuff has not the background of w arlike scenes to lend it dramatic splendor. There were few actors, no spectators and no hope of glory as a prize. It was an era of profound peace—1855—and the region where the action took place had enjoyed a long term of quiet, such reassuring quiet as follows a wholesale expatriation of hos tile people. Florida was freed from the domination of the ml skinned Seminole* and was the last place in the Union to look for stirring adventure. Lieut llartsulf went to Florida in 1854 as a lieutenant in the Fourth artillery, and a year later, at the age of 25, was authorized to explore the swamp regions and moke surveys as a tojiographic engineer. During the year already spent in Florida he had passed through the territory which he had been ordered to survey, and had frequently met with the few Seminole* who still clung with pathetic fondness to the lands of their fathers, so rich in game and fruits. Osceola, their old chief, wits dead, their people scattered beyond the Mississippi, and what could lie more natural for a brave soldier, armed to the teeth, with a powerful government to sustain him, than sympathy and kindli ness toward this forlorn remnant of a once mighty race? HartsufT came and went among them, sometimes alone, generally with ouly oue man ns escort, and he found the savages comj>ctent and willing guides in regions where no whites had ever trod. HartsulT's exploring party left the Ca loosahatchie on Dec. 7 and marched tow ard the interior. The number all told was eleven men, and two of tbei. rode un armed, being detailed as teamsters for the train of two wagons, w hich carried sup plies. Fight armed men rode on horse back behind their mounted leader A few miles of march, the establishment of camp a hunt for game and a trip for exploration and reconnoissunce made up the record ot each day. Deserted Indian villages were frequently found, and so also were the ruins of old forts and blockhouses of the Florida war. These citadels, once the refuge of white men, hod been burned by the few Indians who remained to roam over their old “happy hunting grounds’ after the soul of their nation had departed The lingering Semiuoles hud l>eeu per milted under various pretexts to delay their pilgrimage to the reservations set apart for them fart her in the west, ami up to the date of Uartsutl’a adventure had proven worthy of this leniency. After u march of ten days the lieutenant decided to return to the starting point. Fort Meyers, on the Culoosjjhatchie. The country was much flooded oy recent rains, and the absence of Indians to act as guide* on his surveys led to the conclusion that nothing could l»e gained by penetrating the everglades under the risk of becoming mired and without the opportunity of fix ing localities and routes for future settlers On the morning of the 20th the camp was under preparation for the return trip For two days the resting place of the party had been a piece of open land, surrounded by water varying in depth, and adjoining a slight elevation whose sandy soil was timbered with large pine tree*. Anothet elevation known as a “hummock.” also surrounded by water and grown up with wild trees, plants and fruit vines, was only a few yards distant. About daylight the situation in camp was this: The teams were ready to la* hitched to the wagons the armed men had eaten their breakfast and were ni>out to saddle their horses, and ilnrlsuff was in his tent, the only oue not yet struck, preparing his toilet His break fast was ready at the campfire. There had uot been au Indian nor the fresh trace of one in sight during the whole trip, and although the party moved well armed ami maintained camp guards at night, it was a mere matter of form, and if any comment had been made on the sub jeet of Indians by any of the company when they awoke that morning to retrace their step* it w’ouid have been regret at not seeing them. The Indians uot only lucw the richest lands ami the best path ways in the intricate thickets and treach erou* swamps, but also tbe haunts of the ; load um musket* ana pass thtnrto'fctm to ! fire. After several shots a bullet struck him in the side, twirling him around with a stagger. Feeling for the wound, he saw that tbe bullet had been stopped by hi* pistol While rejoicing over his escape and cheering hi* men, another bullet pierced his side into to the lung, and he soon gave up from loss of blood and crawled away to the hummock, telling ids men to do tbe same, and that if once they could reach cover they could whip all tbe savages yet. The unknown ami Hanna staid at the wagons and fired several shots to cover Hartsuff’s escape. Then the unknown said to his companion: “My last cartridge is iu my rifle, and our legs must save us.” These two now left the wagons and reached the hummock, hut, not Amiing the lieu tenant, started across the swamps toward Fort Meyers, where they arrived after thirty-six hours’ journey, exhausted with their long march. HartsufT reached the hummock and i crawled rapidly to the inte> hicket for shelter, but he fell Into a ueep pool and was unable to rise for some time. While in this position he heard an Indian say | “Come out! come out!” But by keeping very quiet he threw the copper colored enemy off, ouly to find himself beset by a swarm of alligators that scented him by his fresh flowing blood. Several times he arose and after walking u few yards fell again from exhaustion. Alternating be tween enforced rest when fie could not rise and spurts of motion forw ard by draw ing and pushing with hands and feet, he passed the whole day and at night he d» sparingly gave up the struggle, in which he had not progressed a mile all told. He now lay helpless for forty-eight hours DABMNOTON’S WHOLESALE MEKCMAiVTo Wc have in stock ami to arrive in a few d.ivs. One car load ot Bacon. “ •* •• Corn. “ “ “ Flour. •* Molasssi-s.

He attended to Iuh wounds, bind ing and rebinding them, and nourished himself on whatever fresh water he could fiud on the way Over three days had been passed without food, and finding his strength so low that he could not make more than half a mile without exhaustion, he liegan to think of death in that vast swamp as his certain fate. In order to insure some account of his disaster should his remains i>e discov ered, he took paper from his pocket, and using his own blood for Ink wrote the story of his experiences and pinned it to his breast. After another halt of thirty six hours he again staggered to his feet, and in the edge of the evening of the fifth day from the fight stumbled upon a party of the soldiers of the fort who were search lug for him. HartsufT* recovery from his wounds was so complete that he went on a campaign in 185*3 against the Semiuoles, and the treach erous vagabonds who had attacked his camp in the cypress swamp were driven from the country The gallant lieutenant was, however, too severely injured for a continuance of hardship in the field, and was made instructor at West Point acad emy His last wound in the sw’amp never ce.-uted to distress him while he lived, and probably was the origin of troubles that ied to bis death This did not take place until 1874, after he had won the stars of a major general of volunteer* and the high est brevets in the regular army for gallant conduct on the field during the civil w »r In the war HartsufT rose gradually from a captaincy in I8t*d to a generalship in 1802 At South Mountain, Md., SeptemU'r, 1802. he led a brigade iu the column that storm ed the mountain under Gen. Hooker. A few day* later he led his brigade in one of the bloodiest encounters on the field of An detain. Hooker’s corps made a bold attack on the Confederates around the famous Hunker Church woods and the cornfield I in front. Here the Union general Mans field was killed. Hooker was wounded and thousands of brave men went down. Hart ' stiffs brigade engaged in desperate work and their leader wa* severely wounded ear ly in the fight. On his recovery he was for a time com mandcr of the Twenty third Army corjis iu Kentucky and personally headed the 1 mounted columns iu pursuit of Morgan the raider, on his famous ride into Indiana and Ohio In 18(33 In 1805 he commanded | on the works in front of Petersburg For his gallantry at Autietam.

TUK ATTACK. ilrcr and turkey which the .oldien, loved to make their game. When, therefore, while the men were acattered mnking their preparationa to atait, a warwhnop and a rifle ahot rang out on tbe air, the laat thing thought of to aceonnt for it wua Indians until the eyea of tbe man, Meklng natu rally tbe diatant surrounding*, discovered a number of savage* among the pine trees on the Island adjoining the camp. Tbe In dians were armed and In warlike attitude, >nmc of them taking aim, and then began a most desperate light for life in that wli- dorues* morass. Three of the men who were at a distance from the wagons saddling horses could not reach their comrades and escaped, leaving seven alone against several times their numlwr. HartsufT, wiio might have fol lowed the eontemptllile custom of parley and conciliation, rushed from his tent, pis tol in hand, and opened lire on the Indians, shooting down two and receiving a ball in hia arm. Keacbiug the wagons he found three men, one of them wounded, fighting desperately. These were Privates Hanna and Murtagh and one whose name is not recorded. "For Uod’s sake." exclaimed the lieutenant, who knew none of the his tory of the moment, “where are all the lueut Were they all killed at the tlrst flret” "These two |Hiinna and Mu.tagbl are all I hare seen,’’ said tbs unknown. Two men lay ilead at the wagons and two more, mortally wouudod, fell in the camp. The fate of the three with the horses was at this time a mystery to tbe aUi-Yhorsat tbe wagons. Just as the lieu tenant ruuched the plucky trio ilaima was ahot down, the unknown was disabled by a shot in the thigh and Murtagh was al ready wounded and crawling off to tbe wild cover of the hummock An Idol Destroyed. “There has been a great deal written about the wonderful memories of hotel clerks, but let me tell you it’s all bosh." said a well known member of the craft. "Of course a clerk has to have a good memory, but so has any man in busi ness. And it is quite true that training one’s memory in a certain line makes it more agile in that direction than the memory of a man of different vocation is likely to be. But what I refer to is the talk about the memory of tiie hotel clerk being phenomenal, and, to prove it, citing instances how seeing a stranger once the clerk recognizes and calls him by name ten years later, though not hav ing seen him in the interval. It's non sense. And though the guest in ques tion may answer ’tis a fact, he is but de ceived by the regulation trick. You take sharp notice some time and you will see a man approach the counter. “If that man has ever stopped at the hotel before he will recognize the clerk And the clerk, seeing the spark of recog nition in the eye of the guest whose name he doesn’t remember from Adam, holds out his hand ami grabs that of the guest, shakes it heartily as with the other hand he shoves the register tie ward him and gives him a pen, at the same time firing nt him a lot of ques tions such as •Well, where did yon spring from this time? Where have you been all this time? Y’ou are looking well; family ditto? How's business? Want room with bath?' and so on until tho guest lias registered. Then the clerk rings iu the guest's name before the own er has time to see if it is spelled right. It’s a simple trick: but its is-rformance not only caws the one u;k>u whom it is played to feel more at home, but to mar vel ever afterward at the wonderful memory of the hotel clerk.”—Chicago Post.
