It is the la tv of the faithful ehrotti- 1

oaueeption of the Yankee*. It was'
the fettle table fire of hrit » -hat.*, which

Iteiug, like its ttaoKssake, under the
rigorous bivciath', they tletennined to
alienee its beliigerniit batteries by
taking away the amuiumtioH.
All the bricks were gathered up
dtud started out front the prison pen.
The ndxds looked on with interest,
and a few nights later, a small
party charged the fence. They broke
thwowgh t -v»t escaped, leaving Mm tstt*

Jt A-hot lies and tin cujts, securely
bnllaatotl with .sand.
A rajiid aaecvsKtmt of succeMtfbl
asxaulta by lireaelting purtie*, itnpcra
tively enjoined a ftirthvr tax on Fed
eral ingenuity, and mint her brilliant
coti(-option struggled into life. At
four o'clock, every afternoon, the axes
of the priaonor*, were told by careful
count, and if one w»« lacking, u vig-
YttotiH search was inxtitutod and con
tinued until the missing implement
was delivered up to Federal custody.
On a few occasions the whole camp
wax kept standing in line for hours,
while a fruitless search weut forward,
ami alter both Federal and Confed
erate patience were well nigh ex
hausted, the delinquent article was
found Itcside the wood-pile of some
careless Yankee.
Usually, however, every axe waa in
it* rack by the ap|x>lnled time, anti
the ollh-er* composed themselves
nightly m confident security. Hut
the veteran rail splitters of the Mis
-tsstppi valley smiled grimly, as in
the secluded recesses of the barra.-ks,
lltey fnsUiotied «Wm waul*. The
first trial proved that they were a
, det ided improvement on tlu- axe. A
Ki-uluckiati, npprehentled in the net
vAlinishiiig one of these effective im
i piemen Is of battery, was punished by
a long imprisonment in the dungeon.
When lie was finally restored to his
i companions, us a check upon his
I irrepressible proclivities, his right leg
| wax hampenxi with u ball hitfl chain.
| Within three days he sawed the irons
off. organized an cacaliade, and led
it■ ft* fiurly throtigh the fence. He
mn<lc the hrench himself, and knrxtked
out almost half a plank with the ball
and chain the Yanks hud forged upon
Admonished by such exploits, the
opposing mind expanded ut last suf
f’n iently to embrace the situation.
'I he fciiea was doiihki and cross*
plunked, nml in the absence of urlilery,
or a battering engine, a breach became
iinposxihle.
A few- men afterwards escaped by
keniilt , but the Ini/.ard of this inode
I of exit was too extreme to be risked,
saving at long intervals, when pr<x
I traeUxi seasons of unrewarded vigi
| lance had inspired the. gun®s with
careb s conlbiettee.
Th f t i tig achievement, after
the donbl. q i ,iking of the fence, was
the i •( ape of c! 'ilia of the Second
Kent ui y Cavalry, ami an Italian
v in-Mr tc i.c i.- not jtt l now reinetn*
l-ere I. ’ f. by the tvay , was after

('it,. H tii Romance seemed to at
lach t-'f tiutriially t>> tlie name of
Ute itaiiau. I !«• rejxtrt followed him,
a* a : ado", that ho was of wealthy
and it dile parentage, an exile from
tite sunny laud of his birth, for a dcs
p. r ite dud of blood Wliatever ho f
had lx*. at, it was enough for us to
know thar he was steadfast in his j
allegiance to the starry cross; and
the instance about to be related, ex-,
tu I dished that he possessed a full
share of dauntlesa courage—the sure ,
password to the soldier’s heart.
Workmen were engaged in repnir
ing the leaky r«x»f of a barrack near]
the fence. They went to dinner, leav
ing a ladder standing against the
eaves. .Shultz and tlie Italian seized
it, and in broad noon-.lay, rushed to
the fence, planted the ladder against
the wall,and jumped safely over, amid
a shower of bullets and the cheers of
all the prisoners who witnessed the
daring feat. Before others could fol
low, or the prisoners fairly understood
the meaning ol the commotion, bayo
nets glistened on every sale, and the
long roll resounded through tlte Fed
eral quarter*, alarming the peaceful,
inhabitants of the snhurim. . j
The audacity of the deed was the
scen t of its complete success, for the
nearest sentinel*' were •<> dumbfounded
that they did not even fire.
Not long afterward* a small party
sent into the Federal square to work
against their will, by some means got
possession of a ladder and tried a like
experiment. Hut the surprise was
not so complete ns before, anil of tlte
half dozen, several w ere shot, and all
retaken. Although a less daring act
than the first, it stirred the blood of
tlie whole camp. From the top bunks
of the barracks, next to tlte southern
fence, many of us witnessed it all. It
thrilled us to see our comrades run- 1
ning for dear life out on the sandy
•pi.xt* - BoMaS- Mue gentry banif, bang,
Imaging at them front nil quarters,
like so litany sportsmen at six hunted
bi«h ttpou the wing. Poor fellows—
we knew that with a good gun ami
half a dozen rounds apieee, they could s
turn on their pursuers and chase
them itick into the <len as readily as
they could drive them from their
ports with brick-bats—all that were
not slsit down were headed off and
taken. After that, forced details sent
down into the Federal square to work,
wero closely guarded.

working of lynt-li I*wr, at tlfe same
time. The nlttht of o«r advent at
Cairo was lit up by the tires of an
execution. A ncgVo, it seems, was
the owner or lessee of an old wharf |
l«.at, wlticlt had been utoored to the.
levee of that town, nnd which he had
turnod to the uses of a gambling
saloon. People who had been enticed
into it itsd never been seen or heard
of afterwards. The vigilance com
mittee, then governing Cairo, had
frequently endeavored to lay hold of
the negro and bring hint to trial; but
he had secret passages from one end
of the wliaiT boat to the other, hy
which he always eluded his pursuers.
Having no doubt that, he was guilty

When the wharf boat was well into
the stream the negro appeared boldly
at the place which, middle of
all river craft of that wind, is left,
o|K-n for the reception and discharge
of freight. Aml now a scene occurred,
so sensationally dramatic, so easily
adaptable to the stage of these latter
days, that 1 would not dare to relate
it for truth if I had uot witnessed it
with my own eye*. The negro was
not discovered till he had rolled a
large keg of powder iuto the middle
of the space Just mentioned.
As he *1.10(1 in the light Os Itis burn

darkness that envelo|K-d the majestic
river, wilh his cocked musket still i:i

lunn, w ith a piercing eye. Hu said
that he had not the heart to shoot the
“nigger," because he showed such
pluck. Hu even confessed that, for
tlie aninc reason, he felt almost sorry
for the victim, after the explosion had
