FIELD, FORT AND FLEET,
The Singular Combat at Sabino
Pass in 1863.
One of the most singular com
bats of the civil war was the as
fair at Sabine Pass. In September
fs63, the government deter
mined to possess ’’tseif of Sabine
City, situated on the river of that
name, about fifty miles from Gal
veston. It was considered a strat
egetic point of great importance to
the Union forces, and so carefully
were all the plans ‘laid and ma
tured that Gen. Franklin’s Nine
teenth Corps, accompanied by four
gunboats, left New Orleans with
out half a dozen persons having
the least suspicion of their desti
nation.
fuformati m h id been received by
the government that the Confede
rate defenses were of little account,
find it was confidently expected to
fake them by surprise and come in
to possession without much of a
n 'ht, The defenses consisted of
dirt foit, mounting six
guns, with rille T dts on the fi.au ku,
The garrison had st tinw num-
bered over sixty men, aim when
the advance of the Federate was
first sighted there were only fortys
four men, including officers, in the
works. The oflicers numbered but
two, and both were lieutenants.
Cunboats and transports reached
Sabine Pass in good shape, and ai>
ter several shells had been fired
into the fort without provoking
an answer arrangements were en
to red into for disembarking the
troops. It was decided that while
ibis was occurring the four gun
boats should move up and pound
away at the fort. If it was garri
soned the garrison would be driven
out. If it had been abandoned, as
sqinc of the officers seemed to be
lieve, the heavy missiles of the
gunboats would knock it to
pieces.
At 4 o’clock in the afternoon
the C7;fton, Sachem and Arizona
steamed tl'iward to engage the
fort at short idnge, and they had
only fired one shot each when the
Confederates returned an answer.
The Sachem hud the lead, and as
she steamed on she used every gun
which could be brought to bear,
and her protected sharpshooters
kept up a constant fire at the em
brasures of the fort.
The fourth shot fired at the Sa
chem struck her amidships with
terrible force, tearing off her pla
ting and crashing her timbers into
splinters. Iler steam pipe was cut
or broken, and in ten seconds her
crew were fighting an enemy more
cruel than shot or shell. The
capi.ng steam blistered, burned,
killed. Inside of two minutes her
Hag was hauled down and the
Sachem lay a wreck on the water.
The Arizona drew too much wa
ter to run in close, but as soon as
it was seen that the Sachem had
been disabled the Clifton steamed
•in to take her place, It was be
lieved that so long as she kept mo
ving any shot which struck her
would be an accident, but she had
scarcely reached close range posi
tion when she grounded on the bar
and swung into such aposition that
the Confederates could br«g four
out of the six guns so bear on her.
For ten minutes it was give and
ttakc. .Realizing that he was on
the bar hprd ami strong, the cap
tain of the Clifton turned all Ins
attention to the fort, changing his
shell for grape ami umuister when
ever Confederate sharpshooters
showed their heads above the par
apet. The gunboat was frequent
ly struck, but had sustained no
great damage up io the instant the
great calamity hefcl her. A pon
derous iron bold struck her almost
where the Sachem was hi*, crashed
through her side in the same mans
ner, and again it was the hot
steam from the boilers which fin
ished the work of wreck and sur
render. The Clifton hauled down
her flag, and the transports, which
had been following her in to dis
embark the troops, lost no time in
getting out of range.
The gallant action of the cap
tain of the Clifton in steaming up
within such close range, tnd of
giving battle white hard and fast
aground, was tarni-hed by his la
ter conduct. After a white tb-g
had been run up and the Confede
rates had ceased firing, he ordered
all,the guns spiked, an 1 wth his
own hands fired a soli 1 shot
through the center of the craft,
rendering her machinery entirely
useless. Nearly the entire crews,
together with over 100 sharpshoot
ers, were made prisoners by the
Confederates, and most of the guns
were soon made a/ailable. Either
crew ontnuml eied the men in the
fort, but upon tin? return of the
expedition the flowcry correspon
dents wrote of “3,000 rebels be
hind the works,’’ and added that
“the loss of the enemy was without
precedent in war." As a point of
fact that can be proved to-day, not
one single man in the fort was ev
en wounded.
For more than an hour and a
half the forty-two men were under
a fiic which never entirely ceased,
and were given solid shot, mon
ster shells ami liberal doses of
grape and cannister. ani yet not
so much as a drop of blood was
drawn. At no time could all the
guns be worked, and the crew at
such as were being used were
more or less targets for the sharp
shooters aboard the gunboats.
While the parapets were dug full of
ho’es deep enough to bury a horse,
not one of the guns was dismount
ed.
Aftei the ross of the two gun
boats the others maintained a long
range fire for half an hour or so
and then drew off- The force of
infantry aboard the. transports was
large enough to have taken posses
sion of the entire district and had
come fully supplied for permanent
occupation, but a council of war
determined on the abandonment of
the expod’fion and a return to New
Orleans. It seemed rank cowar
dice to retreat from a fort moun
ting but six-old fashioned cannon
and already knocked into a dirt
heap, but that was the result. The
Arizona outmatched the fort in the
weight and range of her guns, and
could have taken such position as
would have kept the Confederates
under file with no chance to re
turn it. But no such movement
was made. She could have pre
vented the Confederates from pos
sessing themselves of the two gun
boats-, bijt the idea was to get back
.to New (Means. She withdrew
followed by the well armed Cyan
ite State, and a Confederate steam
er cainG down the river and took
possession of the surrendered
crafts. The) secured 150 prisom
ers, sixteen fine cannon, a large
quantity of stores and ammunition,
and the Sachem was soon repaired
and added to their strength. There
were three prisoners to one guard,
and had there been any one to lead
a break for liberty most of them
would have made their escape.
Here were from 12.000 to 15,-
000 infantry, four gunboats and
twenty or thirty transports driven
off by less than fifty men An’cx
pedition costing hundreds of thous
ands of dollars and weeks of hard
work was rendered a burlesque. A
lodgement, at Sabine would have
given the Union forces the key of
half of two Confederate States.
Taking in ail particulars, a
strange engagement never occur
red in war. The defenders of the fort
were galled the Jeff Davis Guards,
and their bravery was eventually re
warded by a silver medal »w egc.h
man, suitably inscribed, and many
of the rank and tile were promoted
fioni the ranks.

disease and dirt.
D«ath in a Foul Dish-Cloth-Dan
ger from filthy Soap-Timely
Advice.
Westminster Review.
Judging from all past expei
cnee, a visit from the cholera
scourge is only a question of time.
If through adverse storms a de
-1!U occurs in an attack from an in
vading army every hour should be
ntdized by taking such measures
as will aid in repulsing the ere
my.
Aided by favorable winds, we
have gained an extension of time
before the great plague makes its
onslaught. In every kitchen there
is one thing which should have at
tention froin this time on. One
source of disease which should at
tract the attention of every physi
cian, every nurse, and every man
and woman who cares for these pre
servation of health,is the dishcloth.
A foul dish cloth has wrapped up
in it the germs of more kinds of
malignant diseases than all other
things in a household. A foul
dish cloth is a perfect hot-bed that
breeds cholera, scarlet fever, ty
phoid fever, diptheria, etc. A dish
cloth which a housekeeper would be
ashamed to bring into hey parlor
to show to visitors is not fit for
use, and shonld be burned as soon
as this article is read; I, for one,
would not be willing to eat food
prepared in utensils wiped with it
or to eat from plates on which it
had been used. It is customary
for housekeepers to apologize for a
dirty, foul-smelling dish-cloth by
throwing the blame on their hired
help. This is doing a great injus
tice.
When a girl starts to wash dish
es she is supposed to have a clean
dish rag, a clean dish pan, clean
hands, clean water, a piece of soap
and a lot of soiled dishes; if the
soap does its work properly, then
at the end of the operation; the
dishes should be clean, and her
hands, her dish pan and her dit-h
rag .should be clean; the dirt should
be in the water, just as when a
woman is dme scrubbing a dirty
floor, the dirt shonld be in the wa
ter, and a clean house cloth and a
clean scriibbii g brush should be
the result, provided that the soap
which she uses has been made from
pure, sweet materials’
A girl cannot scrub properly
with a miserable apology for a
scrubbing-brush; neither can she
keep her - dishcloth sweet . unless
her mistress furnishes her with
soap which will do this, fur it is an
undoubted fact that when a dish
rag guts offensive, or a sponge or
a wash rag loses its sweet, clean
appearance and smell, it is on ac
count of the soap which is used.—
It Is tin unfortunate delusion on
the part of the general public that
“any kind of fat will answer for
making soap,” This is a decided
error; it is just as important that
the dishes from whjch weeatshould
be washed with soap made from
pure, sweet, clean materials as it
is important that the butter which
wu eat should be made from pure,
sweet, clean cream.
I housekeepers usually attempt io
overcome this result of the soap
they use making the dishrag filthy
by scalding oi boiling the dishlag,
but this is only a makeshift —use
a soap which is made from pure
material, and your dish-cloth will
tlipn not need cither scalding or
boiling, and once a week havfe the
dish-rag brought in the parlor, and
if not sweet, change the soap you
are using, and keep this practice
up until you come across a soap
that, will kt ep the dish-rag clean
Q,nd sweet.

were very dry and people were

thing has changed and we have

and now the people are complain
ing again. Did I ever write you
any poetry? I can write it and to
prove it will give you these lines
as samples.

He will ever get out of the grass or not.
I’his much rain reminds me of a
circumstance that occured when I
was a boy. It was during the war
and there was nobody at home save
a fewold men, boys and the women.
A severe di ought was on us, and it
was announced by the old Metho
dist preacher that on a certain day
there would be a meeting for spec
ial prayer for rain. The day came
and the meeting, if you will allow
the expression in a religions cons
nection, was very enthusiastic, and
before adjournment thunder was
heard and a cloud was seen and
the people became alarmed and
hurried home. The rain came and
was what the boys call a “trash
mover." Everything was badly
washed and much . damage done,
and an old lady living near us
named Martin, in talking of it said
she was “so vexed,” she thought
her garden was ruined and said she:
“it’s just like these old Methodist
preachers, they always over do the
thing.” Its. my opinion that the
M l .' as decided that the people I
’ ' •■' hard to please about
rain, and 1 (Al , it as
os, and ... • .j- ie grass
f; ? t
will work a*while
t i rc ' :,nd i
ot
aft and plenty of cider, 1
vegetables *and fried chicken, and
then enjoy a regular “happy-land
o’-caanan” time. I love to go to
the country then and go to meeting
with the people, go home with some
of them and cat such a solid din
ner as only a frugal and industrious
farmer's wife can fix up, and then
sit in the shade and argue script
ure, cat melons, drink cider and
talk of crops. Take a stroll over
the farm and go to church at night
and enjoy such a hallelujah time of
a meeting as only the country peo
ple know how tq boom up. I be
lieve, and always did, that die
country people have more and en
joy more religion than the people
in town. They don’t Vun after
style and fashion so much, are not
so selfish and “stuck up.” God '
Almighty made the country before
he did the town, and he gave it (
{pore advantages and blessings and
the people have been enjoying them
ever since. There is not but one
thing in connection with the conn
try and country people that I don’t
like and that is these all day Sun- ,
day singings. But lam not going i
to say anything against them 1
ii; the papers. I notice one of I
them wili break up every preacher’s (
appointment and every Sunday
school in five miles of it. 1 ;
am not going to write against them, ’
but there is one thing certain, no 1
boy of mine, or girl either, will *
ever, with my consent, run off to j
or.e of them, instead of going to . j
Sabbath school and preaching. I j
don’t think the Sabbath was ever 1 ,
intended to be made a day for j
courting and frolicking. Bn* 11 <
don’t wan’t a hundred fa sol la and 1
do re mi men jumping on me at
once and that is why I keep silent.
But everybody ought not to keep j
silent. The preachers ought to i
preach against them, and Sunday- t ;
school workers ought to work |
iigainst them and praying people ,
ougli* to pray against them and (
parents of boys and girls ought to ’
talk against them. The trustees
of the church ought to shut their
. I 1
houses against them. If this was ’
done they could bo remedied. But j
I am afraid to say anything against
them in the papers. When a follow
does, don’t they give him hail col- j
umbia? We have a few young I
men and ladies in Waco, who rath- ,
er stay at Sabbath school and ■
preaching than run off to one of
them. I say this to their credit.
We have tnmtnc l out the woods

Time's Changes.
“Washinnton, May 2l.—The
President to-day appointed R. M.
1. Hunter to be Collector of Cus
toms for the district of Tappahan
nock. \ a., on Mr. Hunter's own
application. Mr. Hunter is now
seventy-six years old. He was much
impoverished by the war, and the
office to which he is appointed pays
only $250 a year, with foes and
commissions, amounting in all to
less than SI,OOO. —[Special.
The vicisitudes of life and for
tune, of ambition honor imd fame,
could not be more strikingly illus
trated than thcj T are by the above
announcement. Du ring twenty of
the best years of the history of
this country Mr. Hunter occupied
a commanding place in its public
life. He was just turned of thirty
when elected Speaker of the Na
tional House of Representatives,
having enteied Congress at twenty
eight. From 1837 to 1861 he
served alternately in the House and
Senate, declining the mission to
England under one Administration
and - the Secretaryship of the Treas
ury under another. For ten years
he was Chairman of the Finance
committee of the Senate, and con
fessedly one of the geatest finan
ciers of an era which produced
men like Walker and Guthrie. He
stood in the direct line of the
Presidential succession, and but for
the war might have occupied the
White House.
Arman of great learning, bril
liant talentsand conservative char
acter, he is to-day the intellectual
•peer of any living Yet
in his vid age he is
glad to take tlkc&icnro post as
signed him, and the Administra
t»°n honors itself in recognizing,
even m so humble away, his
claim of wmfii and genius and ser
vice. -W® -
John Tyler, after he went out of
the Presidency, became a Road
master and Justice of the Peace in :
Virginia, and acquitted himself ,
handsomely in both positions, as
Mr. Hunter will undoubtedly ac
quit himself as Collector of Cus
toms of Tappahannock. The truth
is that in this country we do less
than justice to our old men. Mr.
Gladstone is o ] d and poor. But he
is Prime Minister of England. I
Palmerston was Premier at eighty.
Indeed, in Europe, age is the ' rule
rather than the exception, for the
occupants of great places. Mr.
Payne, of Ohio, is an eminent and
able man, and was never more ca
pable of useful public service than
now. But, if he were not a rich
man, would he be a Senator? Un- <
fortunately, with us when a man is '
old and poor the disposition is to ,
set him aside. It is true that men’s *
most brilliaqt performances arc (
done for the most part on the sun- 1
no side of fifty, but their most 1
useful often come after this.
In saying this, apropos of the
appviutment of Mr. Hunter to a
Federal office, we do no* mean to
commiserate. He is a man of too 1
sturdy a courage and too philoso
phic a temper to need mere senti- 1
mental sympathy. The age has
gone by him and has carried off .
upon its turbid waters his material J
fortunes, so that undoubtedly the
post of duty to which the President
assigns him will afford him a much
needed, though small, income. For
this he will return more than an
equivalent, and with it, we may be
sure, he will be better content than
many a money-king with his ill got J
millions.—Courier Journal. s

Short-Hand in Journalism. f
(Murat Halstead.)
When, as often happens, some
enterprising young woman calls
upon me, desiring to enter upon the i
work of journalism, and expresses
a willingness to take up its labors,
I invariably ask, '‘Are you a steno- i
grapher!” lam often asked, “If I I
am a stenographer can I get a situ- J
ation?" and I always reply, “If a f
first-rate one yes.” The first-class '
stenographer has a profession, is as
certain of a good living as the me
chanic, and has vaster fields before
either her or him, as the case may
be. But a smattering of phonoga
phy is as useless as a smattering of
music. If you learn to play on the j
piano or violin, you must play well. I
If you aie plonographer, you must
follow the fastest speaker, or the 1
most involved conversation, take
absolutely all of it, and write it out
in a good, plain hand. I can assure
the future of any young man or
woman able to do this and wiping
to work.
