When he resumed, be. said "At the end Iry a fortni,t, traylin' by night au' sleepin' by day; an' livin' on darkies when my tisin's guy out s I got inter the Union lines abuvNashville." • Mr. Kirke goes on to say, tbat ! =-• Bible's intimate knowledge of the country, ancLacquaintanee with . the-loyal men of the district, enabled him_ to per form more aonal service to the Union cause than a regiment of ,men in the rinks, Hiding in the woods, or secret ing himself in the houses of his friends byd ay, he would sally forth by night; and penetrating far into the rebel lines, fre ,cluently gather information of great im portance to our army. Often days with ant-food, sleeping out in the cold and the rain, limited down by blood-hounds, be trayed by pretended -friends, waylaid- by a whole - regiment, the mark for a thous- and rifles, and with the gaßows ever be- fore him, hd wcnt on in_his peribus work with ' a single hearted devotion to his •eduritly, and an earnest, childlike roil• ane on God that would do_lionor to the ;belt !clinics in l.istory. ' flis scouting adventures would fill *a "Cunnel Smith uv the Fest Tennessee Nigger regiment---one old black man en' a-yeller 'ooman,"- - coolly replied the scout. "Go to —," shouted the surgeon, quickly drawing his revolver, and dis charging it directly at Bible's ace. The ball grazed his head, cut off a lock of his hair just above his ear, and lodged io the wall at his back. The report was still stiOnding through the apartment, when the uttered a wild try, sprang a few feet into the air, and fell lifeless to the floor I Tho negro had shot him. !'Come, gentlemen, 'none o' thet," said Bible, as coolly as if 'nothing had . hap. pened, "guy me the shootin' iron and surrender, or we'll sot the rest on yer ter his, wtick•—rakin coals for the devil's furnace—in less nor a minnit." 'Without' wore hesitation the rebel colonel handed the scout the fallen man's pito!, and then all, followed by the scout and the negro, marched quietly out of toe front door. The mulatto woman, holding the horses, was standing in the high tray. , "Hitch the nags, my porty g. 41 , 1? said the scout, "an' git a coil o' rope. An' ye, gentlemen, sot down an' say nothin -.ceps it mought be yer prayers; hitt them, I reckon, ye hain't lamed yit•" The negress soon returned with the rope, and while Bible and her husband covered them with their revolvers, she tied ttit± arms of the proqrate cliivl.lry When this was done, the scout affixed :. long rope to the waist, of the officer on either flank of the column, and, and tak ing one end in one hand, and giving the other to the negro, cried out : "Sogers uv the Fuss Tennessee ! Mount !" • The regiment bounded into the saddle. and in that plightthe planter and the eight captive officers marching on before, the self appointed ‘e.unnel" and his chief officer bringing op the rear, and the rest of his command —the yellow woinan—•- a straddle of a horse between tbem- - - - -they catered tne Driiun here Mr. Kirke ends this incident, but we think we have heit:d that on ble,'s arrival tciihin .our pickets, Colonel (uo.w _General) Stoughton:; demanded of him The delivery of his prisoners.

And he did nat. ,At half rest three o'clock in the morning he marched ..cdrpse" pp to headquarters, and made au ' , orderly awake the General. Rosen. crams came to the door in his night ap. pare!, and, on learnin ,, the real state.of things, went into explosions of laughter. The noise' attracted the members of his staff, and when a dozen ,or - mere thinly' clad gentlemen had gathered rolnd the General composed himself enough tag accept the delivery oldie pri4oners, rnd to appoint Bible Commander to-Chief of all the black troops, in his dePa:rtincnt. Mt.

"What !" says the master, "asleep, you{ idle dog, you aro not worthy that the sun:should Wee. on you." "I am truly sensible of my *unworthiness," answered the 'man, - "aud the elm laid myself dots° iu •the shade."' • FIOOPING FROCKS. -The- Poughkeep sie 'Press says:—Quite a rosy-looking girl from the country actually went into a cooper-shop in this city recently, and innocently asked one of the workmen tvhat he charged for pooping frocks.— Innocence visited to be in the fashion. A DAmrEtt.—At n. recent railroad dinner, in compliment to the legal fra ternity, the toast was given :—"Au hon est lawyer, the noblest work of God."— But , an old farmer in the back part of the hall j rather spoiled the effect by adding, iu aloud voice, "And about the scarcest." A'rtetuus Ward writes that he is tired of answering the question as to how many wives Brighatu Young has.' lle sass that;all he kpows about it is that he one day used up tho - multiplication tabii; in counting the long - stockings on a clothes line in . Brittliant's back yard, And went off feeling dizzy. WELL MATcuED.—An intelligent farmer being asked if his horses were well matched, replied, "Yes, they are matched .first.tate ; one of them is willing to de.all the work, and-the other is wit• linehe should "Better to be alone than in !bad com pany."
