THE HAVERSACK.
Our next anecdote is not verv com
plimentary to the Old North State.
It comes to ns from a gentleman in
Raleigh, N. C., who says that he can
not vouch for its accuracy. We know
part of it to be true. The rest of it
was probably made upon the poor
fellow, by the wits ol Botins’ Alabama
brigade. In the last days of the Con
federacy, the story was often told and
religiously believed.
At the battle of Kinston, the Junior
Reserves (made up of lads under 18)
were sent to force the crossing of Soutli
West Creek and drive the enemy away,
to make good the passage of our troops.
1 his they did very handsomely, but
encountering a severe lire, a portion of
one regiment sought a safer place. As
they wcic streaming to the rear, they
met the Alabama boys and were <rreet
ed with shouts ol laughter. A general
officer, in no laughing mood at their
beha\ ior, took steps to stop the disor
der and with his own bauds seized one
of the fugitives.
General. “What arc vou running
for”?
Junior. “Oh, General, thcyankces
were shooting at us”!
General. “Why didn’t you shoot
back again? Aint you ashamed of
yoursell ? \on are crying like a
baby.”
Junior. (Blubbering) “I wish I was
a baby. Oh ! I wish I was a gal
baby”!— l y hc laukl ft'c I^ovc,
From our (kind friend P. E. P. of
Matagorda, Texas, we are indebted for
the next incident.
There was an officer in the 6th
Texas infantry, (a regiment which was
engaged in the battle of Arkansas Post,
and was there captured,) who had as
a valet a certain aged negro-man, call
ed briefly by the “name and style” of
“old Dock.” He. was quite an oddity
and withal a very honest, faithful, old
fellow.
On the morning of the first day of
the battle, the regiment was sent down
the river to take position and dispute
the passage ol the gunboats up to the
fort, as much as possible, by picking
off pilots and annoying the gunners.
Old Dock was left at the camps to take
care of baggage, and cook up rations
for his maa-fer. But just as the gun
boats were moving up, and had nearly
reached a point, whence they could
open fire on the regiment; old Dock
appeared ort the scene, with his old
blue, longtailed coat and smashed bea
ver hat and looking very earnest and
determined, lie was at once accosted
by his master,, —“Dock, go back, sir,
and stay with the baggage, you’ll get
the top of your old head peeled off bv
a bombshell directly. The gunboats
will open in five minutes!”
“No sir, no sir, dis chile is bound to
take care of you. My old miss told
me to take good care ol her son, an
bless de Lord I’m gwine to do it!”
“Yes, you’ll get shot, that's what
you’ll do,” said a soldier standing near,
“one of those 32-pound shots will raise
you into the top of a tree.”
Searching deep into the arcana of
one of the pockejs of his longtailed
blue, the valorous African drew out
the stock and barrel of a pocket pistol,
which lie proceeded to screw together,
with a countenance fierce us a wild
boar whetting his tusks, remarking
“Oh ! l’se prepared, I ain’t aleard ! let
’em shoot dcir sling-shots, and bung
shells, and bless de Lord, I’le hurt one
o’ dem gunboats for true ! Fie shot
Tun plum froo wid djs pistol, 1 will, 1
ain’t one o’ dat kind wot git scared;
no sal), let Tim come on!”
Boom—bang —whirr-r-r—and a large
shell exploded quite close to this ebo
ny Mars, causing his knees to shake
and his eyes to roll wildly in his head;
and another another followed in quick
succession, each one adding to old
Dock’s terror. A fourth one felled a
tree with a tremendous crash, in twen
ty yards of our hero, who forgetting
all his martial ardor and anxietv for
his master, dropped his terrible weap
on, and minus his hat, with his coat
tails standing out like the train oi a
comet anti bis eyes set in a ecstacy of
terror, he fled to the rear. As was af
terwards learned, he stuped not at the
camps, and never “drew rein” until
he reached Bine Bluff, seventy miles
away, and from there continued on to
his home, whence no threats or ner
suasious could ever induce him to re
turn to his master.
Boor old Dock ! I wonder what
freedom brought him ? May his shad
ow never be less ! r. i:. i>. — The Land
We Love.
An expression was very common in
the Army of Tennessee, without anv
one being able to explain how it start
ed. A soldier sends us an explanation
of it from Warrenton, Va.
When R’s brigade of cavalry was
first organized, it contained some rath
er excitable individuals, who were
accused by Forrest’s men of making
more use of their spurs than of their
swords. The brigade, eventually, be
came distinguished for its gallantry,
but at the time oi which we speak, it
was a laughing-stock nt>t merely to
Forest’s veterans, but to the yankees
themselves. One day, on a train in
Mississippi, the rear car was occupied
by soldiers clacking their rough jokes
upon one another. When their fun
was at its height, a very ungainly
looking **reb,” with clanking spurs,
long uncombed hair, and a general ap
pearance ot long disuse of a “Idled”
shirt, stalked to a window and thrust
his carbine out of it. Then he stop
ped, and looked around, as though
apprehensive that he was doing some*
thing wrong, and inquired, “is thar any
of R’s men aboard this shebang” ? Mo
answer. “I say, boys, does any of
you belong to K’scavaly”? At length
someone spoke up, “I belong to R’s
cavalry.” “Axin yer pardon, strait"
ger,” said the uncouth individual; “my
old gun is dirty and 1 wanted to clean
her out, I'm jist gwino to pop a cap.
Don’t be skeered, honey”!
From this, started the taunt so often
used to cowards, “lie down. I’m gwino
to pop a cap.” —The Land // c Love.
To explain this anecdote, it will he
necessary to premise that a “muley” is
a cow without horns.
Rebel impudence is a phrase now
very ollen in Jacobin mouths. It
would have been applied, very appro
priately', to the rebel soldiers during
the war. Imagine a grave, dignified
gentleman stopped by a ragged rebel,
who seems anxious to gain some im
portant information.
Rebel. “Mister, did you ever see a
cow”?
Lofty gentleman. “Yes.”
Rebel. “Did she have homes”?
Lofty gentleman. ‘Yes.’
Rebel. “Well, then, I speet she
warn’t a ‘miilev.’ Goodby!” —The
Land IVc Love.
When our regiment was organized at
the beginning ol the war, Judge ,
an old man, but a prominent and tal
ented lawyer, was chosen Major. llis
efforts to learn tactics verified the
adage “you can’t teach an old dog new
■tricks.” Unfortunately, the Major was
quite deaf and in re-echoing the Colo>
nel’s commands on drill would some
times make very laughable mistakes.
One day, the regiment was on skirmish
drill when the Colonel gave the order
—“rally by plattoons.” The Major,
in his deafness misunderstanding the
command, looked very much puzzled,
but at length sung out m stentorian
tones —“rally by raccoons”! He nev
er tried skirmish drill again,
c. o. l. — The Land tVc L,ove.
On the campaign from Dalton down
to Atlanta, several hoys were seated
on the ground playing “draw-poker.”
General lla-dee, who always addressed
soldiers courteously, passed by and
not knowing how they were employed
said “how are you, boys”? One' of
them looked up and said “losing badly,
General, losing badly”! —The Land
We Love.
Ox Hood's retreat out of Tennessee,
a ragged, dirty high private, who had
last his gun, cartridge-box, knapsack,
canteen, haversack and coat, was set
ting on a fence by the road side re
flecting on the fortunes of war. The
nature of his meditations may he judg
ed of by a remark, he let fall in a
subdued undertone, which happened
to be overheard by a passer by, “well,
the Army of Tennessee is scattered,
that ar a fact, but this child uint, no
sirree”! —'The Land We Love.
In one of the first disasters of the
war, a regiment of cavaly was trotting
to the rear in very respectable speed,
when a cry came up from the rear
“gallop”! The leading files prompt to
obey such an order broke into a gallop,
when the Colonel, an old militia offi
cer, verv fat and very full of the im
portance of his position, shouted ‘halt!
Who gave that order”? “It came from
me rear, Colonel.” “I reckon, lam
the Colonel of this regiment. Who
dares give it an order, without send
ing it through me ? Halt ! 1 say halt!
Stop or I’ll shoot you”! Just then a
cloud of dust was seen to the rear of
the regiment. Tee indignant Colonel
felt his wrath subside at the sight.—
“Well,” said he “I expect that order
was a very sensible -one after all,
gallop ! boys, gallop!” And away they
went like a whirlwind. The fun of it
is that the enemy had no cavalry
whatever to follow up his success, and
his infantry even was not in pursuit.
The clould of dust, which had changed
the Colonel’s indignation into timely
prudence, was raised by some of our
own fugitives.— The Land We Love.
—A country fellow came to the city
to see his intended wife ; and lor a
long time could think ofnolhing to say.
At last a great snow falling, he took
occasion to tell her that all his father’s
sheep would be undone.
“Well,’ said she kindly, taking him
by the baud, “I’ll keep one of them.”
Jackson, 'lV.nn., Feb 17, 1807.
To Governor Urownlow:
Sir— l learn that you and the tower
house of your Legislature have passed
a law to allow the colored people of
litis State to vote. So far, so good
Hut, sir, you have, at the same tune,
provided in the law that they shall not
holt! office ! Now, what docs such leg
islation mean 1 lam a colored man,
and have wool on my In ad, hut you
and your white trash can’t pull that wool
over my eyes. The darkies ot Ten
nessee, generally, will understand what
you are after, and will put their bro;
feet down upon you.
This act reminds me of the car'
where a white man and an Indian wen
hunting, they killed a turkey and a buz
zard,and when they came to divide, flic
white man, to satisfy the Indian that
he would do the fair thing, made this
proposition : “I’ll take the turkey, and
you may take buzzard —or, you mav
take the buzzard, and I’ll take the tur
key.” The Indian hung his head for
awhile, then looked up, and paid to his
sharp companion : “Every lime tin key
for white man and buzzard for Indi
an.” Oh, yes. you want us to go vo
ting with you, but every time office for
white man and vote fur nigger !
1 learn further, that the bill has been
sent to the Senate, where, it is Dw be
hoped, the restriction against mj pim
ple will be wiped out. In that event,
and at the warlli solicitation of many
friends, I do hereby announce myself a
candidate‘for Governor. I expect you
to be my competitor, and I propose to
open the canvass at an early day. and
will join you in your list oi appoint
ments from Carter to Shelby. I pro
pose to conduct the canvass’like states
men, but I notify you, in advance, that
I will hold you personally resposible
for any insult you may offer me. I
shall take along your debate with my
friend Mr. Fry no, and shall prove
from it that you have been a greater
persecutor ol my race in Tennessee
than any other man ; and 1 charge that
your present course is out* purely of
selfishness.

“Sister.” said one of the brethren of

“Yes, deacon. I fed as though I

“Not in Belzebub’s bosom.”
