A Kentucky newspaper, the Harrodsburg Democrat, says that some “ex-Confederates” were swapping war stories re cently, when one of the follow ing, which conveys a wholesome lesson against hasty judgement: Just before the battle of Mur freesboro a detachment of Mor gan’s command was guarding a mountain pass a few miles from Bradyville, Tenn. A portion of the valley leading to the pass was densely wooded and swam py. The marshy ground abound ed in bullfrogs of huge propor tions, and the trees afforded a roosting place for numerous owls. Among the soldiers was a stripling by the name of Spree leer. It was a wild and windy night when Spreeler was called upon to do guard duty About 1 o’clock when the sky was of a leaden hue and the wind sighed fitfully through the trees, an owl on a nearby limb hooted: “Who—who—who are you?” “John Spreeler,” exclaimed the sentinel, trembling in his boots. Just at that moment a bullfrog in deep bass tunes, seemed to say : “Stir—sur—surround him !’’ “I’ll be hanged if you do,” exclaimed Spreeler, as he fired his musket and broke for camp, which had been thrown into the wildest contusion by the alarm, which was supposed to mean that the enemy was attacking the outposts. When the true state of affairs was understood the other men made life a burden for John un til the battle of Murfreesboro, when the Lincoln county strip ling was promoted for conspicu ous bravery. He was afterward assigned to Bragg’s army, and died like a hero at the “battle above the clouds” wh’le in the forefront of the charge, trying , to c pike an enemy’s cannon.
