The Very Last Battle of the War Fought at Camp Douglas—Johnny Reb's Revenge—The Kentuckian and" the Dutchman. A Mississippi trooper furnishes the fol lowing account of his own experiences at the close of the war, to the Philadelphia Times: My regiment, the Twelfth Mississippi Cavalry, was stationed at Summit. Miss., in the winter of 1864-5, when in formation was received by the Colonel that a regular trade in mules, beef cattle, etc., was going on be tween the negroes on the plantations just above Natchez and the Federal forces along the river. 1 was one of a detach ment picked out to go on a scouting ex pedition to look into that trading busi ness, and that led to my taking up quar ters at Camp Douglas for the rest of the war. We knew Federal troops were on the lookout for us, but for my part I didn't expect to be nabbed quite so" promptly as I was. CAPTURED. YVhen it happened I was riding leisure ly along the road (having just come from a point on the river I had been sent to ob- ! serve), thinking of my home in the piney woods and wishing “this cruel war was over.” If I remember right 1 was whist- i ling, when just as I was rounding a point { in the road that led up a hill I heard the 1 sounds. “Click! click!” just ahead of me, and in the second utter the order, “Halt!"’ ■ I halted. Then an officer with six negro soldiers stepped out Into the road and ordered me to advance i and surrender. I did so, giving up 1 mv carbine and my mule, tor that was the ■ sort of a war horse the most of our regi ment was mounted on in the last year of I the war. The negroes cursed me scanda lously, and I was really afraid they would murder me in cold blood in spite "of their commanding officer. lie was a little un- 1 easy about it, too. They forwarded me on to Natchez, to- ! gether with some other prisoners they had j lately captured—a part of them from my own regiment— and at Natchez they put us I in the guard house until ij boat should be on I , hand to take us up the river. The ladies of : Natchez had given us a good supply ot 1 blankets and quilts, but all but one ! apiece were taken from us before we j went on board the boat. It was cold : enough on the river, and we needed every I blanket we could get. I reckon we were i about 50 miles below Memphis when the boat ran, in the night upon a snag, and it 1 was all over with her. YVegotoff on a sand-spit in the river i without, any loss of life, but there were 1 some officers on board and also some wo- I »men passengers, who had got out of their beds with only their night clothes on, and 1 they barely had time to do that. It was a j rude change enough for them from their | snug berths on board the boat to the wind-swept sand-spit, and they had to ■ walk around right lively to keep their blood circulating. About 8 a. m., an other boat came along and took us on the spit. At Memphis I found some friends, who gave me a little money and a couple of blankets that were not taken from me this time. We arrived at last at Camp Douglas, where we were put in quarters already occupied by some of Morgan’s men, then prisoners. CAMP DOUGLAS. The building we were put into was about 60 feet long and say 16 feet wide. There were rows of double bunk s—one above the other—running the length of the building, with an aisle between them. There was a door at each end of the house anti one in the middle. There was a stove at my end, where only two of us at a time were permitted to warm, and only for a few moments. We had to get back in a hurry to our bunks at the word from the men who kept guard over us. Most of us who had been brought as prisoners from Natchez had never seen snow more than four inches deep, and we were smartly bothered with the sort that took us up to the waist. YVe were not prepared for it either in the way ol clothes. But for all that we used to get sent into it in a hurry at the tap of the drum every morning, clothes or no clothes, for that was the time the roll was called, and when we were not right on hand, the guard had away of notifying us to be a little more prompt the next time. Talk about a white man when he can’t help himself not standing a licking like a black man! Why, I’ve seen the German guards take a big Kentuckiairwho had ridden with John Morgan and been in the habit, when free, of peppering his meat with gunpowder and picking his teeth with a bowie-knife; I’ve seen the Dutch men take a fellow like that, strip him down, buck him over the edge of a bunk and strap him with a soldier belt with the brass buckle at the end of it. Well, after a while news came of Lee’s surrender, and that the war was over. We did not believe it at first, but we were convinced when they set us all free on parole and gave us transportation home. We had been released from the prison and were sitting down in the shade along the sidewalk waiting for papers to be made out, or something ot the soit, and on the opposite side of the street was an Illinois regiment that had lately got back from the seat of war. They had stacked arms and were lounging about just as we were. Os course, we got to mingling to gether and talking, for the men who had fought one another were always friendly when the fighting was not going on. It was only the cowardly home guards who were ever cruel to prisoners—prisoners being the only enemies they had a chance of meeting. FETCH AND KETCH. I forgot to say that the two Germans who had special charge of our barracks we named Fetch and Ketch, and it used to make them powerful mad when we called out their names in the dark. Fetch was a Corporal and the meanest of the two. While we were sitting out on the sidewalk, as I was saying. Fetch, who j was walking about there, kept stepping ; on the feet of the big Kentuckian, who I was lying stretched out in the shade, j “Please don’t step on mv feet again,” ; said the Kentuckian, whereupon "Fetch , i cursed him as he had been in the habit of i ■ doing in the prison. “I ain’t your prisoner no more, and I ' ! dare you to stan’ up and fight it out like | i a man,” said the Kentuckian. Fetch was no ways inclined to that sort ! j of thing and was for getting away at once, ; ' but some of the Illinois boys had heard 1 1 what had passed, and may be they I wanted to see a little fun. At any rate < | some of them hollered out: “That won’t do, Mr. Dutchman. You ■ I must stand up to the rack.” “Come, Johnny Reb. We’ll see fair ! I play.” They got up as pretty a little scrimmage ' | as one could wish to see, and although j ; the Kentuckian had been broth-fed for six i 1 months and was not himself by half, as he said afterward, he flaxed the Dutchman I out in no time. The recollection of the I soldier belt, with the big brass buckle on 1 I the end of it, was a powerful help to him. 1 That was really the last battle of the war. Advertising Enterprise.

Old Fort Fisher—Reminiscences of the Blockade—Heroism and Sacrifice—The Story of a Deserted Town. < 'orrespondenoe Xe>c York Evening Post. The Cane Fear rolls its majestic tide nearly thirty miles below AVilimington be fore finally mingling with the ocean. A sail down this broad entrance in the com pany of a gentleman familiar with every land-mark, who had played no unimpor tant part on the Confederate side in the events of the late war, so tar as they re lated to the Cape Fear, we found one of the most delightful .Southern experi ences. The shores are low and sandy and cov ered with interminable pine forests. Get ting well down the harbor, the Colonel pointed out on a sand-bank commanding the river a low, dismantled earthwork— all that remains of historic Fort Fisher. “Its strength as a defensive work,” he remarked, musingly, “was vastly over rated by the Federal commanders. It could easily have been taken by a con certed effort at the time of Butler's at tack in August, 1864. Its chief value to the Confederates lay in the aid it afforded the blockade runners in making or leaving the port.” Then, from intimate personal knowledge (havingcommanded one of the regiments in defense of the fort, he gave us an interesting description of the block ade runners and their ways. INCIDENTS OF THE FEDERAL BLOCKADE. “The blockade runners were English steamers built more for speed than freight capacity. They were painted a French gray or lead color, which blended with the atmosphere so as to make detec tion extremely difficult. They carried a pilot and signal officer, and when ready to leave port dropped down the river near the mouth of the inlet, waiting for a dark night to slip out. The guns of Fort Fish er commanded the entrance of the harbor, and no vessels could pass in or out with out the knowledge of those within the fort. Signals were consequently ar ranged and an officer placed on board of each ship in control of that branch of the service, and by such means those in com mand of the fort could easily distinguish friend from foe. In running into the har bor the same precautions were necessary. When a runner approached the fort, which of course was at night, the signal officer on board displayed a peculiar light or made a certain signal, which was an swered by the fort, and she then passed in without 'molestation. The blockading fleet lay some four or five miles distant from the fort, and the danger in running in or out was the risk of capture by them. In running in or out the ship showed no light and the most rigid discipline was en forced. It happened frequently that in the darkness they ran so near to the blockade as to be heard by them, the noise of the wheel betraying their presence. Rockets would be ‘immediately sent up and a tire opened. In coming in, a dash was then made to get under the guns of the fort; if going out all steam was raised and a chase of the most exciting character began, the ships dashing through the water at a tremendous rate, the blockader firing continually at the fleeing runner, hoping by a well-directed shot to disable her, and the latter using every means that skill and ingenuity could suggest to effect her escape. A great portion of the cargo was frequently thrown overboard to avoid capture and in stances were not infrequent when large amounts in gold, which were shipped out for foreign purchases were tossed into the sea when escape became impossible. In the early days ol blockade-running, the ships engaged were seldom captured, as thev were much taster- than the blockad ing" fleet, having been built expressly for the business, but very soon vessels equal ly fleet were obtained by the Federal Gov ernment, rendering escape much more dif ficult. It is remarkable when the risk at tending the running is considered, that so little damage should have been done to Hie or property. So far as I remember, there was but one life lost during the en tire term and scarcely any were injured. Some ships were run upon the beach to [ avoid capture, but none were sunk out right by the blockading fleet. “Individual acts of heroism were fre- I quent. I remember on one occasion that | a ship, commanded by an officer of the Confederate Navy, had passed the fleet and was approaching the bar. The pilot had gbeen taken fill before leaving Nas sau with what proved to be yellow fever, and was confined to his berth. The Cap- ■ tain went to him and asked if he was able to take charge of the ship, and run her in. ‘Carry me on deck,’ he said. He was lifted from his bunk and placed in an arm chair near the wheel-house, supported on either side by an officer, while his head rested on the shoulder of a third. In that condition, and scarcely able to speak loudly enough to be heard, he pointed out the different bearings and the proper course to be steered, and when the ship had safely passed in, and as her anchor dropped in the roadstead, he was seized with the black vomit, and in a few min utes was a corpse. It was an act of noble self-sacrifice,tfor it was the exposure that cost him his life.” From the fort we hear the sullen boom ing of the surf of the bar, and in a little more than an hour reach the mouth of the river. It is an eerie place. Numerous shoals and sand islands rise above the sur face, continually being cut away and built up by the water. Masses of seaweed and kelp, broken timber and wreckage, float in the vortexes of the currents. Out in the offing sails are seen, tacking and fill ing in their efforts to follow the somewhat intricate channel, into port. Near by, commanding the main channel, is Fort Caswell, built of stone, once thought one of the strongest fortifications on the At lantic coast, but now in ruins, having been blown up by the Confederates when they evacuated it on the fall of Fort Fisher. A short distance above, on the north branch of the river is Smithville, the county seat of Brunwkick county, a Southern village of the old type, with its ancient court house and tavern, and wide Main street lined with stores and pleasant substantial dwellings. The town is a favorite summer resort for the citizens of Wilmington. Modern Life in the Grecian Capital. Providence. (R. I.} Star. The following extracts from a private letter recently received by a Providence gentleman from an American student in Athens, Greece, will prove of general in terest: “I live in a Greek family,” he writes, “where we speak only Greek. The house is on -Eolus street, with Socrates, Euripides, and Hermes streets not far off; so that you can easily imagine the hallowsd associations that are daily suggested. Our ‘maid of all work’ is named Athena. There are 28 newspapers in the city. I cau count a dozen dailies on my fingers, and I presume there are others of which I have not yet heard. With that number of papers and 250 law yers, as many priests and a dozen thou sand soldiers, the 80,000 people in Athens are pretty well supplied with these ap purtenances of life. The city is very mod ern, though in some parts it does not look so;but where dirt is allowed to accumu late it soon makes things look hoary. I suppose Athens is a type, or better than the type, of all Oriental cities, and that where people can make a meal off a piece of bread and a bunch of grapes industry is not necessary. But I have not seen a manufactory in the city, aside from the little shops of a few handicraftsmen. The whole town has grown up about the pal ace of the King. The rich men are those who have made or are making fortunes elsewhere, and live here for society. The University of Athens has 2,500 students, 1,500 of them in law, and two-thirds of them destined to be farmers—for many of the law students will never practice that profession. There are hundreds of wine shops always well filled. The streets are full of bustling men, but they are bound for nowhere. At the Piraeus'[the harbor city] there are 25,000 people engaged in active industry. Besides the foreign shipping there Is a considerable coasting trade in farm produce. The people here are very proud, but the glory of a dead past is only a bond of unity and patriot ism,not a support of in dividual life. There are no parties on public questions, only cliques supporting certain leaders with their policies, w hich may or may not be different.” What it Did for an Old Lady. Coshocton Station, N. Y., Dec. 28,1878. Gents—A number of people had been using your Bitters here, and with marked effect. In one case, a lady of over 70 years, had beefl sick for years, and for the past ten years has not been able to be around half the time. About six months ago she got so feeble she was helpless. Her old remedies, or physicians, being of no avail, I sent to Deposit, forty-five miles away, and got a bottle of Hop Bitters. It improved her so she was able to dress herself and walk about the house. When she had taken the second bottle she was able to take care of her own room and walk out to her neighbor’s, and has im proved all the time since. My wife and children also have derived great benefit from their use. AV. B. Hathaway, Agt, U. 8. Ex. Co, TRUTH IS MIGHTY. How the Truth Astonished the Colo rado Liar. Oct in Kansas, Nov. 20.-- Editor of The Tribune: Night caught me at a coun try hotel in AVestern Kansas. Around the office stove were gathered ranchmen from Colorado and Kansas. Among the ranchmen were swearing cowboys from Texas and cultured Englishmen grad uates from Oxford University, who knew so much Greek and astronomy that they couldn't earn a living in England; so their rich fathers had “set them up” on a Kansas sheep ranch. In the crowd was the usual Colorado liar. I can always distinguish this pro fessional Colorado liar. He is not a free talker. He does not waste words with every man in the room, but he sits with a scow l on his brow and his slouch hat pulled over his eyes. Occasionally he lifts his eyes f.om the burning cigar stub on the hearth and makes a solemn remark. When he does speak everybody listens. He has something important to say. AVhen I first noticed him he had his eyes on the hearth, but one ear was inclined toward an English rancher from Oxford University. “Speaking of seeing long distances,” remarked the Englishman slowly, “I have often observed while standing on the cliffs of Dover, that I could see clear across the English Channel to Calais. France, and aw—aw’’ “Seventeen miles across, ain’t it?" in terrupted Colorado Bill, as he brushed up his hat in front. “Yes, sir—seventeen miles.” “Why, that ain't nothin’, stranger. You kin see twenty-five miles anywhere on this Kansas prairie. But if you want to see a long distance—if you want to see a hundred or two of miles—go over into Colorado. Why. over in Colorado on a clear day we kin see Pike's Peak. 150 miles off. Yes, an'by ginks! Silver Bill says he's stood on the top of Pike’s Peak and seen the Missoury river—seen 'em slaughtering hogs in Kansas City, an* playin’ poker in St. Jo, an' ” “Why, that ain’t nothing ’tall!” ex claimed a Kaaterskill Mountain Yankee who was drumming for the Methodist Publication Society. “’Taint!” growled Colorado Bill. “No, sir. Why, we can stand on the roof of the Kaaterskill Mountain House and see—” “See the North river, 'bout 20 miles off,” interrupted Colorado Bill, contemptu ously. “No, sir—further’n that I” “P’raps you kin see the Berkshire Hills, and mebby you kin 1 iok over ’em and see Boston an’ the 'Lantic Ocean?” repeated Bill ironically and with an idea of expos ing to the crow d what a bungling liar the Yankee was. “Further’n that—further’n that!” ex claimed the Yankee. “Betchew five million dollars y’ can’t,” yelled Colorado Bill, cramming his hand down into his pocket and hauling out a handful of nickels and 10-cent pieces. “Why. stranger,” said the Yankee, as he edged himself nearer the door, “on an ordinary day from the Kaaterskill Moun tains we can see mor’ii fifty million miles, and ” “O you git out, you lying fool!” “Why, b’gosh, gentlemen, we can see mor’n ninety million miles; we can see clear to the sun, and—” “AVell, dogon me!” yelled Colorado Bill, “es you haint the first darned'ten derfoot’ who ever backed a Yankee lie agin a Colorado truth ami rattled it back to Colorado!” Eli Perkins. AV as it a Ghost? Carolina IS. C.) Spartan. John Fant, a colored man working for Rev. R. C. Oliver, states that last week, about midday, he was passing between Mr. Oliver’s house and the Chapin house, and, bearing a noise, he looked around to see where it came from. He saw in a window up stairs in the Chapin house, now vacant, a man beckoning to him. He looked at him, and when the man mo tioned the second time he went to the house and went up stairs. The man pointed to a certain place in the ceiling where there was a small crack between the plank and disappeared suddenly and mysteriously, going neither through door nor window. He had on a dove-colored suit of clothes. He did not get to see his face. His hand was white. After he had vanished Fant says he went to the wall which had the slope of the steep roof and ran his knife into the crack and felt something there. He cut a hole and pulled out a common buggy whip. He saw that there were oth ers there. He went to Sarah AVilkv, who cooks for Mr. Oliver, and told her the circumstance. They carried an axe and pried off the plank and pulled out thirty seven buggy whips, theie being several varieties. They were wrapped in brown paper. Nothing else was found. This is about the story as Fant relates it. Mr. Oliver has them in his possession, and any one desiring may examine them. They are apparently new, some of them looking somewhat shop-worn. There are several theories in regard to this matter. First is the ghost story. Fant has never been a believer in such, but he says it must have been a ghost that motioned' and then disappeared so suddenly without speaking. I’here were about ten tramps that were prowling around this deserted house, and they may have left the whips there. Another theory is that thev were kuklux whips stored there for ‘use in former days. Laugh and Get Well. Spectator. In the treatise on laughter Joubert gives a curious instance. A patient, be ing low with fever, and the physician in attendance at a loss as to how he should produce reaction, had ordered a dose of rhubarb, but after the medicine had been prepared, fearing its debilitating effects, the order was countermanded. Not long after a pet monkey belonging to the pa tient, that had been in the room all the while, seeing the goblet, slipped slyly up ’and toughed it to his lips. The first taste was probable novel and he made a comi cal grimace. Another sip and he got the sweet of the syrup. Aha! His vision brightened. He cast a glance around, and then drank it to the bottom, where he got the full strength of the rhubarb. Mercy! AV hat a face he made! The visage of the disgusted money spoke volumes as he tried to spit out the horrible taste, but finding that impossible, he seized the got let and hurled it to the floor, smashing it into a hundred pieces. The scene was so ludicrous that the sick man burst into a fit of laughter that lasted until his nurse came in. And when he tried to tell he laughed again, until he sank back exhausted in a profuse perspirat on, which lasted until he fell asleep. AVhen he awoke the fever was broken and he re covered. An American Poet Loose Abroad. London A thenamm. Under the title of “Leisure Hours in Russia” Mr. Wickham Hoffman, late Secretary to the United States Legation at St. Petersburg, and now Minister resident in Denmark, has reprinted some'of his contributions to periodical literature. They contain descriptions of St. Petersburg anil of Finland, and some account of the superstitious beliefs of the Russian peas ants. But the greater part of the volume is occupied by translations, chieflv from tha Swedish of Runeberg. The following extract will probable suffice to give an idea of Mr. Hoffman’s poetical powers: “The castle’s proud hostess then stood there dum founded. Prince Pontemkin, the Count, said naught, But from the great crowd of the serf people arose Glad cries as they stood in the court. Catharine. Russia's mother, the great Cesa rinna, To her nobles turned, who stood near, ‘My lords, for my journey you’ll give at once orders; Since my suite has grown so here, Further to-day we will not trouble our hostess, And I long for my Moscow dear.’ ” Vanderbilt lias a Heart. F'fcts&wrfl' Herald. Mr. Joseph Genella, father-in-law of Mr. D. C. Atwood, and who lives at At wood’s factory, Kosciusko, was before the war one of the rich men of the South, but like many other such he lost his wealth when the fate of the Confederacy was decided. A few weeks ago he re ceived a letter from William 11. Vauder bilt containing a check for five hundred dollars. Long years ago. before the war, in San Francisco, Cornelius Vanderbilt, the father of William H., became involved in a law suit, in which it was necessary for him to give a $200,000 bond. Being a compara tive stranger at the time he could not easily find a bondsman acceptable to the court, and was about to despair when Mr. Genella volunteered to go on his bond. He was accepted, and ever after Mr. V anderoilt was his firm friend. The son, hearing ot the circumstances of his father’s friend, sent him the above stated i amount. HORS FORD’S ACID PHOSPIIA TE.
