STORIES OF THE WAR- Olimpees or the Campflro, March and Battlefield. The following atlrring account of one of the battles of the seven days around Richmond fought June 27tb, 1862, is republlahcd by re quest. It originally appeared in the Richmond Dispatch The fight began early in the afternoon and was raging with great fury, while Hood's brig ade was yet at a considerable distanco from the scene. Marching rapidly through the woods and fields, apparently with a view to turn the enemy's extreme right, the whole brigade was halted about four o'clock and formed in line of battle, in the following or den 18th Georgia, 1st Texas, 4th Texas, 5th Texas. The position of 4tb Texas was subse quently changed to the right of tlio 18th Geor gia. In this order tbo brigade advanced through the woods which, bcingso very thick, we soon Joat sight of all, except our own regi ment. Advancing across a deep, muddy swamp, aud tip a steep ascent, they were plac ed in a position to support a bittery and or dered to lay down. Hero they were just In rango of a heavy battery of the onemy, and the missiles fell so thick that our battery soon Locarno disabled and hod to withdraw. An other came, but was also compelled to retire after a few rounds. Aftor which, the regi ment was ordered to change position, moving by the light fiank at double quick. Tlioy re mained behind this battery about thirty min- nfes ami lust some twenty or thirty men in killed end wounded. After marching by tho flank for a half mile they wore halted in an open space to tho right of a piece of woods, in rear of an apple orchard and formed in lino o'* battle. Then advancing under a shower of shot and shell down a long slope, which was completely commanded by a body of tho ene my's infantry on their loft, and ported on a wooded eminence on tho opposite side of tho ravine, at the foot of the slope. Here we lost many more men, but passed on without re turning the Are of tho enemy poured into our ranks, and crossing tbo ravino at. tho point where tho 4th Texas had w gallantly driven tho steep hill on for the first time, 1o work that then remained for them to do. Sevoral regiments claim to have taken batteries, and no doubt Justly, too, for there were enongh for all to have a showing. Several had boon taken np to the moment the 18th Georgia reached tho crest of tho hill, but tho main battery on the hill, in tho field, said to bo the Hoboken battery of fourteen splen did brass pieces, which was filling the air, with ita deadly missiles, and doaling destruction all around, tho one, whoso posi tion, la said, to have been chosen, by General McClellan, himself, aud whoso guns, according to the accouut of numerous prisoners and* wounded men, had heen directed by him, was still playing with terrible effect. It was sup ported by a large body of infantry in the rear, and a detachment of the second regular cav alry on the left, besides tho approach to It was completely commanded by his othor batter ies. Bo Admirable was this disposition of tho forcea and the natural conformation of tho ground that McClellan is said to hayo assured the men it was imprcgtmblo. In front of the Eighteenth, at the moment it came insight of tbo battory, lav a long sloping hill, at the foot of which somo throe hundred yards distant waa a deep, and in somo pieces an impassable ditch, then a quick rise, which afforded some protection from tho guns abovo. 1'rccedJng regiments had dono their work well, and gallantly had thoy driven tho enemy fiom somo of his strongest nooks, and taken several batteries. Somo hail even advanced on thla battery, but found their forces so much scattered after crossing tho ditch that they became powerless and could do little else than seek protection under tho crost of tho hill from the guns above. Down this first •lone tbo Eighteenth advanced, in aplondid order, at double quick, under a cross fire from two batteries on the right and left,,and a ter rible direct firo from tho battery Jn front. ■Sunt after ehOtlOI wuero i no it a jcxm wui g tho enemy back, •d'anced np t the opposite side, and hero, foi oLt-*ntd a view of the torriulo wide gaps, which were quickly rcloMKlnp.

Lieutenant John Graut, command ing company II, was also wounded and loft the command devolving on First Sergeant Cot ton. On rcarhiug tho ditch tho linn war ne cessarily broken, tbo men being compelled to get across as best thoy could. Advancing a short distanco they found therosolves under coves of the hill, in company with a detach' ment of various other regiments, who wore in a broken and disorganized condition. Sotuo had lost thcirleadcre, somo their regimonts, and all, for tho timo being, scorned to have lest their organization. In front of all these, tho colors of the Eighteenth Georgia were planted, and tho men quickly rallied and formed. A short consultation among tho officers was held to secure concort of action, aftor which a small detachment of tho 11th Mississippi, under command of Colonel Lid dell, formed in support of tho right, and an other from tho Fourth Texas, under Captain Townseud.supported the left. Thus supported at the conimsnd "Forward," the Eighteenth moved steadily up tho hill, in tho Tory jaws of death itself. Aa soon as they wore discovorod tho mcmy'i cavalry mado a dosporato chargo at the right wing, which might have broken and ruined tho line had they not boon receivod with so much coolness and deliberation by tho gallant men composing companies A, B and C, commanded respectively by Captains O'Neal, Stewart and Lieutenant Callahan, who held their fire until tho onemy were within good range, and thon poured in a deadly vol ley thnt broke their (rent and brought down their leader, and so discomfited thorn that they changed their direction and endoavored to make their escape, but before they suc ceeded In doing so scores of their saddles were emptied, aud mauy a crippled ateed left hob bling across the field. Just as this chargo was made, the left wing had come up within rango of the guns,when one of them delivered a volley of grape full into the ranks of company K, in stantly killing Lieutenant Dowtou and wound ing several others. Tbe whole lino hatted to deliver their fire, which they did so effec tively that for a moment the firing of the bat tery ceased, and the infantry began to fall back. 8cizing the opportunity, Colonel ltutf ordered the charge, and rnshing to the front, hat in hand, waved tho boys ou ward, and in less time than It takes to write it niuo ploce* of the battery were theirs. At this moment the scene in front was indescribable. Cavalry men, artillery limbers, caissons and iufantry, all rushed away in ono wild sea of confusion, running for dear life. Some few cannouicrs, however, stood to their guns, and continued to load. One man waa shot at the piece while ramming down a cartridge. An- other, while adjusting a friction primer, was shot down by Private Monroe Windsor, of company H, and his hag of friction primers raptured by him. Lieutenant Lanes, of com pany D, with four men, rushed forward and abut the men at ono piece, while they were on the eve cf firing it. Corporal Fpster, of com pany F, deserves great credit for tho gallantry with which he bore the battle (lag, to the front ever foremost. When he reached tho battery he mounted one of tho pieces, and waved his flag in triumph, but as soon as tho regiment was again ordered forward iu pursuit of the enemy, he took his place and rushed on. At this point(\doucl Ruff, seeing that his regi ment had pierced the enemy’s lino to a con siderable distance, left Major (Griffis in com mand and stopped to rally stragglers, who were constantly ootuiug up. and turn their firo to the left, whence the enemy were pouring a hot fire on the men about the gnns. Tho reg iment followed and drove tlio enemy about fonr hundred yards in the woods, when it was thought advisable for them to fall back, as they were entirely unsupported, and had I reiscd the enemy's line about a mile, and there was a considerable body of the en»*wy ia the rear, both on the right aud left. Fortu nately our forces drove these back about night, and the 18th Georgia held its position for the night, aleeping between the pieces and the enemy. The regiment was under fire about three hours, and lost 118 in killed and wounded. Two officers killed and six wound ed; carried into action 507 men. Every officer and man acted with great gallaotry and cool ness. CaptAln Armstrong, seeing one of tho guns aimed at his company, saved them by an oblique movement to the right in doable quick. Captain Maddox led life company through the fight though so badly wounded aa to have to retire to the rear immediately after the engagement was over. Lieutenant 8. V. Smith, company K, led his comnany with great coolness, notwithstanding his loss was very heavy. At the ditch, in front of the battery, le found fugitive yankern so thick that he bad to make them get out of the way and al low bis men topafs. Lieutenant Hardin, c»m- manding company F, maneuvered his com pany finely, and did splendid service. Orderly Ramsons, commanding company G, acted very gallantly. Tho regimeut took about 2>') prisoners, among them one colonel and several captains and lieutenants. The commander of the cavalry that charged our lines, and who fell into our hands a wounded prisoner, de clared he had as leavo charge a wall of fire. "CiilCKAIIOMlNIR." John Watson.

Tbo adjutant and colors wore about eighty or one bundled yards in front of tho lino of battle, when tbe blue lino of tho enemy were observed, crouching or kneeling in tho bashes, quietly awaiting the attack impending. Adjutant Watson turned and called to his command, " hero they are boys, chargo ’em/ and as he turned again to the enemy, they flrc< a volley, and the gallant adjutant fell dead, a ball having entered his forehead, whilo the color bearer stood untouched.

Tho color bearer made his escape, tearing the flag from tho staff and stuffing it in the haversack. . . . After the surrender tho men commenced tho woarv tramp through tho desolate regions of North and South Carolina, and reaching Greenville (or AbLortUv) wero indulged with a short rido toward home on an old freight train. Whilo waiting for the train to start, an old gentleman approached and asked "If any member of the Oth Ala. was on board." Learn ing there was, he continued.

Wallace. An Engineer'll Experience. I was talking with an old confederate engi ncer tho othor day. who Is now in comfortable cir cumstances. Paid fie: "One of tho most exciting eplrodcaot my life was tbo timo when tho Central railroad removed all Its rolling stock from Macon In anticipation of an attack by tho federal troops. Mine was the last englno left Iu tho shod. For what to me seemed hours and hours'I sat with my hand on tho lever, the Arcs burning and everything ready to mako the race. My train consisted of but two or tlireo cars, Just enough to carry the confed erate officers it at loncd in Macon. I knew that the balance of the boys had their trains scattered along the line In a itato of tho wildest confusion, and I might crash into somo of tho trains at any turning. My wife and children were at my homo In Knst Macon, and 1 sat with my gazo fixed on tbo hills beyond tho river, expecting at any moment to hear the crashing of artillery, and to see tho blaso of burning buildings. Other families were leaving in a panic, but 1 instructed my wife to remain at every hazard."

Siegert A 8ona Strange Bnt True Stories Clipped from Our Exchanges. BURIED IN A OTONE JAR. Near Burkcsville, Ky., on tbe Cumberland river, a man named Raven was one day fishtug off the bank. Tbia was in 1*66, or a year later. The tank was of clay, six or eight feet above the water, anti Raven eat with bis legs hanging over. He had been sitting there for an hour, swinging his face:* against the bank, when bis boot struck K'JiictbJiJR which gave out a curious round, and be instinctively looked down. Between his feet be raw a stone ‘ar, or at least a portion of one, protruding from the bank. It at least four feet below the surface, and he had considerable trouble to unearth it. When he had done to. however, and removed the wooden cover fastened over the mouth, ho found the contents to contist of a gold watch, three or four gold ring*, s/x silver teaspoons. ?500 In Kentucky state baak bills, fte in gold, 120 in silver half dollars, and •bout a quart of dimes and five-cent pieces. Although the jar was tightly corked, tlio dampness had got in and mildewed tho bank notes until they fell to pieces In his hands. Ilod they been all right, however, they would have been of no intrinsic value, as all the state bank circulation had given place to greenbacks. Speculation as to who planted the jar brought no cluo to tho owjer fin the r than that It could have been no resident of tbe county. It had probably been in the ground many year*, for the river had been eatiug away at the bank with each freshet, and finally brought a portion of the Jar to light. It must have been buried fix or tight feet from the bank at first. XON/.Y AND WATCHES FROM THE SEA. Ore of the moat curious finds on record occurred on Dauphin island, ou the coast of Alabama, right or nine years ago. A fish boat containing Warren Miller and Charles Adams, the latter a colored wan. was upset within a quarter ol a mile of the south end of the irtand by a sudden gust. Tbe negro became entangled with the sail, and * ‘ * id body win carrlea A “ ““ “ .bile Mi: bis dead body was carried out to sea with tho beat, while Miller managed, after an exhausting swiiu, to make bis way to tbe Island. He was so tired out that he lay on the beach for half an hour before he could s'and on his feet, lie was about torhe, when he noticed a wooden box about nine inches sqare by six deep lying on the beach At •tout high watermark. The appearance of the box proved that it hod not long been expose! to either water or weather, and it was with consider able curiosity that Miller forced olf the ild. The person who puckcd tbe box had been meth odical and in no hurry. Abont a dozen corks from champagne bottles ban been placed on tho bottom. and a falser “* * ’ ‘ — *~ give ‘ had | Isc bottom laid over them. This was to live increased buoyancy to the box. Tuu packer had placed on this false bottom a wallet, wrapped in oil skin, which contained French paper money toibe value of about SAGOO, with a lady’s gold watch at one end and a man's at the other. More cores were ured to chink arouudtho articles and then came a board Just fitting over them. Between this board nnd the cover wero corxs as clorc as they could be wedged. Watches and wallet were of American manufacture. When tbe numherr of tne watches came to be traced, it was found that both had been sold In New Orleans three years before, but to whom the dealer did not r the smallcf t bit of paper. to ferret out tho mystery. 1 bis Lome In Richmond, Va., than he set on foot the most persistent inqnlrtus, even writing a his- toiy of Hie ease for the Faria papers, and describing the articles minutely. Nothing ever came of his efforts, and so far aa knowu the articles are still in bis poMculon. That the box was thrown into tho resell' tho coast waa conceded by all, for tho waves surely brought it where It was found, but why it should have l»cen thrown, or from what ship, will probably ever remain a mystery. JUST AS HE WAS (UilltO TO UANO HIMSELF. Not far from Fort Dodge, Iowa, In 1867 or there- tbouts, lived a man named John Emmerson. Somo relatives of hla in the cast had put him on a piece of land to mako a living, but he was sickly, had a large family to support, and between doctors’ bills and poor crops was finally ground down until he was little rhort of starving. Ono morning, after taking tbe whole night to deliberate, Emmerson aro»c, took a rope from the shed and started for tho weeds. He had eome to the conclusion tohanghlm- self. Indeed, his wife, who waa fretful and fault finding under her trials, had often fluug outat him that any man who could not make a living for hla family had better choke himself to death with a rope. Emmeram entered a piece of woods on his own land, and|was looking around him for a con- I ndent limb, when he saw alrabblt run into a hoi- iw log. Strange salt may seem to the averago reader, this trilling incident changed the enrreut of his thoughts, and he flnng down the rope and ran and plugged up the end of the log so that tho rabbit could not escape. It was a pretty old log, but the iiollowioniy extended half iu length. The man returned to the house for his ax to chop the rabbit out, and aa he cut through to tho hollow he heard the clink of metal against the blade of the ax. A few more strokes and an Investigation brought to light enough ten sad twenty dollar pieces to foot up tbe gross sum of M,900. The coin* bad once been enclosed in a canvas bag, but only a few decayed remnants of tho cloth remained. Emmerson wna an honest man, and let hla find be I Down, bnt no owner was ever obtained for it. The invistlgatlon by legal authorities discovered that an old country immigrant, who J*udedut.Jfilw«tti- kee three or four years before had complained of tho )o a of a bkg containing g'l.ooo in gol tho to a of a bkg containing »r».oo0 in gold, but h > had long since passed from sight, and no ono could tell whither ho had gone. If it wa* his money. the thief had taken out >100 for current expenses ar.d thon hidden the rest, but an tho robbery oc curred between Chicago and Milwaukee, and as lined betwet , be gold waa found hundred* of mile* away, .. .rouid have been difficult to prove the connection. Emmerson waaleftlnfall poxscislonof his find, and ho soon removed to a dlrtant state. The Divining Rod in Crime. From All the Year Round. Of tho employment of tho divining rod for the detection of criminals there are many case* on record, but the most famous in comparatively re cent times Is that of Jacquce Ayuixr, of Lyons. Tho fall details of tho doings of this remarkable n are given by Mr. Baring Gonld inhla"Cu- Myths of the Middle Agos;” but the story, as told there, ia too long for us to repeat. It will do, to serve our purposes, to quote the following con densed version by auothcr writer: "On July 6, 1692, a vintner and hla wife were found dead In the cellar of their shop at Lyons. They had been killed by blows from a hedging knife, and their money bad been stolen. The culpri s could not be discovered, and a neighbor took upon him to bring to Lyons a peasant out of Pauphine, named Jacques Aymar, a man noted for his skill with the divining rod. The Ueutenant-crimlncl and tho procareur du roJ took Aymar into the cellar, furnishing him with a rod of the first wood that came to hand. Ac cording to tho procureur dn rol the rod did not move till Aymar retched the very spot where tho crime had been committed. HU beat and the wand twisted rapidly. tlou. Aymar Aymar now pursued tho track of the . _ sins, entered the court of the archbishop*! palace, left tlic town by tbe bridge over tho Rhone, and followed tho right bank of the river. He reached agarduer'* house, which he declared the men had entered, and some children confessed that three men—whom they described—had come Into the • on Sunday morning. Aymar followed the track up the river, poiuted out all the places where tbe men had landed, and, to make a long story khort, itopped at last at the door of the prison of »matl theft. The hunchback was taken to Lyon*, and he was recognized on the way by tho people at all the stages where he had stopped. At Lyons he was examined in tbe usual manner, and con fessed that he had been an accomplice in tho crime and bad guarded the door.
