An AnooUot.* *>r War One of the best known character* In ©on. John H. Morgan’* cavalry divis ion was Parson W■ —% lie was nn e\- collcnt man and an excellent soldier and his piety was ns true as his patriot’ Uni. Still, with all his good qualities, the parson was exceedingly eacentric, ami, perhaps, as opinionated and stub born 11 citizen us the southern confed eracy had in her bonier*. Ho wa* the most uggrossive, the fiercest, the most tenacious disputant that ever dissected the resolutions of or knocked n man down for not readily discerning the distinction bi tween “•occasion” and “co-operation.** His sincerity only made him the more obstinate. On account of his nerve, astuteness, larg<* acquaintance iu Ken tucky, and thorough knuwl dgo of tho country, lie wag very frequently sent jby Ooil Morgan into tho stato to ob tain tho information required, not oulv to guide his own operations but for the use of tho army, upon these expedi tions he was generally accompanied by Dan Uiv, a gal ant, splendid fellow, as intelligent and nervy as the parson, but tho soul of good humor. l)an never engaged in argument, except to start the parson and grainy iD fun-loving disposition at the latter’s expense. One day tlmv were riding along to gether, somewhere in southern Ken tucky, when the conversation turned on a practice very prevalent at that time among thoso who “jined tho cav alry,” and, it must by confessed, car ried to its fullest extent in “Morgan's command.” They began to discuss “horse-pressing.” Dan mildly excus ed and even advocated it, upon the ground that it was a “military necessi ty,” out admitted that it was some times abused. Tne parson condemned it in toto. He would not acknowledge that it could be defended or padiated umlor any circumstance!, lie stated that G*m. Morgan's countenance of such a practice was tho one thing whic.lt pre vented him from entertaining nn other wise unqua.ilicd admiration of that of ficer. lie said that ho prayed daily and nightly that his comrades might bo forgiven for it, but intimated in strong terms that he didn’t boliovo they would he. Hi; concluded by as serting that it was tho great national sin, 011 account of which the southern confederacy wou.d uo destroyed, it it was fated to fail. li iv prudently lot tho matter drop, ina-iimcu ns the parson had got warm ed up almost to tne lighting polhu Oil the next day tho parson w as com pelled to have hi* horse shod, and the clumsy smith pricked one hoof so bad that the animal iu u few hours went dead lame. This was a.serious matter under the circumstances, and both Dan and tho parson became very anx ious and apprehensive. Just when they had about concluded to retrace their ftteps to a point far iu the rear, where the parson mijjht procure u remount— n proceeding which would have involv ed unfortunate and perhaps d.tngerom* delay —a well-to-do looking man name riding down the road on a remarkably liue horse. Tho sight of *uch a hor*9 was enough to make a cavalryman’* mouth water, and rmtuco a scruple, if ho hud one, t> an intiuitesimal degree. Tho parson looked, longed, and let down. It was predealinud, he felt, that he sluuid have that horse. Ho gracefully opened tne prelimina ry conversation to tne “swap” ho had already determined on by Haying: “Thai’* a migiity likely horse you*ro riding, sir—a Tiw/hty likely animal.” “Yes,” was UlO response, “he’s i> right peart nag.” •‘Bound, too, ain’t lie? Nothing tho matter witnhiiu?” “Well, fttrangcr, he’s sound from his eyes to ii s hoot*. Tmir ain’t nothin’ soli about him, f Ido say it mysed.” “Imu’.s a good chunk of a horse, loo,” said tin; parson, pointing to his own. “He’s by Denmark, and his dam was by Drcunon out of a Whip mare, lie 6 n go nil the gaits when he’s well, but a fom of a blacksmith pricked him this morning.” “Full his shoes off and let him stand in the wet gras**.” “l haven’t got tho tinv*. I am en gaged in tho public service nnd must get on rapidly. So I’m compelled to swapforyoiirlior.se. You can doctor this fellow. You have leisure, and seem to ho nn intelligent man.” “The h— II you snv! Well, at ranger, you'r the drunkest man, to hide it so well, I ever see.” “Don’t uko profane language in my presence,” shouted ilia parson, “hut help me to shift sadd es. You’re gel tin’ much tho host of the tratio. Thorn ain’t such a single-footed walker as my horse, that is to say, as your horse— for now ho is yours—in all Kentucky. Don't multiply words,” ho continued, as the other party to tho "mv p” Mid protested, “but <• iiub down and shift saddles. Your horse, there, sir, needs attention. Take him homo and doctor him.” And ho enforced obedioi oo by drawing an array Colt. Tho bargain was concluded; tho par son mounted his now Metal, and the pair pusned on. After riding some union in silence, 1< y lomarked. very soberly, “J have been pondering what you said yesterday, parson, about horse-pressing, and I'm compelled to admit that you wero right, i arn sut islicd that it can hoi bo defended or * “Dan tt ty," broke in tho parson qui etly, but with very sign ficanl empua fci, “I don't want to hear you discuss a mailer you don’t understand. Your mind hasn’t been tr.incd to consider questions of this nature and to draw proper distinctions. That matter back yonder wasn’t a case of ‘horse-press ing.' it was a compulsory trade, made necessary by the unsettled condition of the times and country, and because the laws regulating the making nnd en forcement* of contracts arc rather si lent just now. 1 could demonstrate this without tho Icagt difficulty to any assembly accustomed to lira discussion of such questions.

Olio night I call to mind especially. It had boon blowing a galo for two days; tho sea was making a clean breach over tho ledge, nnd every time it hit the house it would jump GO or 100 feet into tlie uirand come down on tho roof like rocks. On tho ledge were four or five bowlders that must have weighed ever two tons, and tno nrst thing wo knew one of them follows cuiuo at tho door, burst it in, and iu a second we wore all n-swimmiug.
