On Saturday, we mentioned that the adven
tures of C'ilmor were lnterestiutr. A more
careful perusal hns confirmed that opinion.
The work, ulihomfli lisucd from the nmn houe
as that ol t'te notorious "Belle Uoyd," la one of
different calibre, and It It dot's abound in the
Munchausen style of literature, we Impute it to
lhe fervid rcmemlrances of exciting event.
Th SDmM of murdert perpetrated under the
authority of Glltnor Is really terrlfyinir. He,
bowever, seeks fo make hiuiMi'lf appear as depre
cating all bloodshed, a ud seeking to save life.
The following extracts will give a correct ldeawf
the work. The following incident is charac
teristic: I was returning by a shorter route when I
came suddenly on a "Jelo Scout," in a narrow
laue tout led out to Url tilth's factory. 1 had
taken the precaution to put around my neck a
white handkerchief, leaving a long end hanging
down over the shoulder, the badsfo by which the
"Jessies" distinguished each thiT. ftione
'Jessie fcoiub" were a body ot men dressed in
Confederate umiorms, organized by CMicrul
Fiemont. Tho icllow rode up cautiously, M
pistol drawn, but I pretended to be very uncon
cerned, showing no deposition to draw mine,
lie rede a noble dapple grey, and stopped when
our horses' heads were nearly together. "Wlier
are you gointr?" said he. "(oing into town,"
replied I, quietly, but in a 9rm voice. He ihen
inquired where I belonsed, and I answered.
"To tne same crowd votulo to Captain Purdy's
scouts."
"Why, F don't remember seeing you, though
I haven't been detailed lonir invsell."
"That is )ust'my cane,'1 1 replied.
lie then asked the regiment 1 was del ailed
from. I tuld hiin from the 12th Pennsylvania,
Captain Former, Company F. Thu satisfied
bioi; he put up his pistol, and as I rodo up
alongside 1 noticed a pair of handcuils loped
over the small strap that holds the ad lie
pocket to the Hap. 1 asked what he was void
to do with the "rutUe." lie replied. "There is
a Keb out lipoid Oriifith's, aud 1 am goiog alter
him." "Let me Iook at them," taia 1 L aud a
he stooped to tuke them off I quickly dfew my

There was gate lea-line Into alane near where
we stood. It was a little way open, and he made a
desperate etl'ort to pet through; but his horse
pushed it to with bis neck, aud the same iubtant
my sword went through nis body. He fell off
dead in Ave minute?, but not beiore he said,
"You sold me pretty weil, but I don't blame

gilmob's Acconur of isojiael day, the man
WHO WOCLDN'i' HAUL DOWN THE "STARS AND
STRIPES."
At daylight we croed the Bel Air and Hart
ford Roads, cut the telegraph wires, but had not
gone iar when I henrd a phDt ahead. My ord
nance sereeant. Fields, and another, were all
the advance I had out, not anticipating any
trouble here. I dasLed forward with lour men,
and met the companion ot Fields coming back
so rapidly that I supposed he had run into the
enemy. He called out to me that Fidds was
killed; and when I reached the house of Ishraael
Day I lound Fields lvhift on the ground, hw face
and chest tilled with bucKsnol. lie was perfectly
rational; told me that he Dad ordered Day to
pull down a large Federal flag, which he refused
to do; that he dismounted to doit huuself. when
Day seized a gun and shot him. The nieu weie
already looking lor Day, but he had eacaoed to
the woods: and while niiv attention was occupied
with Fields, the houhp was in flames, and soon
after they burst out also from the barn and out
buildings. Scarcely ever had I seen men so ex
cited; and I am sure it would have been out of
my power to save Day had they caught him.
It was a sight that made a lasting impression
upon me. Thero lay Fields, his head thrown
back, and a deathly pallor fast overspreading
his countenance, flecked here and there with
dark bluiBU-purple fpota, where tho buckshot
had entered. His shirt was thrown open, and
his manly breast wa? literally covered with
these pur pie spots. He bled very little. The
men stood around us at some little distance, in
violent gesticulation, swearing terribly.
He felt that he was dying knew that I could
not stay, aud begged me not to let him en
cumber me. I gave him water from a tin cup,
and received hia dying messages, which were
very clear. He even recollected to tell me
where in the Valley he had left some papers. I
Sut Fields in one of Day's carriages, and sent
im to Wright's Hotel.
A RUN FOR LIFE.
The enemy were now completely mixed up
with us, all cutting, and slashing, and pistoling
right and left. The race continued over three
miles, and throughout the whole distance this
scene of horror was going on. I was at tho
rear of my command, and almost surrounded.
My cousin (Hoffman Gilmor) and John Gary
were all of my men who were near me at the
time that I can now recollect. My name was
called. I looked back, and saw an officer
making for me, pistol in band, shot after shot
coming lrom it rapidly. I had not a load in
mine, and expected every instant to get a ball
in my back. I knew he was closing up, and,
while looking over my shoulder, I saw him in
the act of leaning over to put his pistol against
my body. I leaned over all I could, hoping to
receive only a gluncing shot. I f elt him puih
the muzzle against my side, and stemed to feel
the bullet crashing through my frame. What a
mangled condition would I be In alter the pur
suing column had ridden over me !
All this passed in the flash of a moment.
Thought was busy, interrupted by the clink of a
pistol's hammer fulling upon an empty tube!
My sabre flashed u rear cut; he caught it on his
pistol Dnrrel. At the 6amo instant his horse
bounded alongside. I rose up in the stirrups to
give a cut in Iront. in the former stroke I was
obliged to turn the sabre in tierce, and hart not,
time to take the proper grip, theretoro more of
me nat man ot the edge struck him, breakmg
the blade in the middle. The blow was a heavy
one, and would have clolt his head open to the
throat had it struck fair; as it was, the concus
sion must havo killed him but lor the thick felt
army hat. The man rolled from his horse, but
was on his leet in an instant. At the same mo
ment i saw some one Ipan over on his horse and
shoot him through the head.
STONEWALL JACKSON.
On the 8unday morning alter the battle or
MCDoweii, wane the whole ol the stonewall
ungade were deployed on the front as skir
mishers. General Jackson'a Adiutant. Robert I,.
Dabney, preached a sermon, surrounded by the
army. The place selected was an open bottom,
well up to the front, for every shot could be
heard distinctly, aud occasionally a stray bullet
would come whizzing by. Mr. Dabney stood on
the ground uncovered; General Jackson a few
pacej in front, r-sting on one loot, with tils hat
off, shading his lace from the sun. I watched
, him closely, and saw not am uclo change during
the whole icrvtce. The sturdy soldiers, browned
in many a hard-fought field, weia lvinir u.rmm.1
on bunches ot hay, taken from the stacks nar
by; and although au ince-sant skirmish tire was
going on, all listened attentively, with every
eye fasteued upon the great chief. Few hav I

A Karrativb of Andbrsonvillb. drawn from
the Kvidrnce elicited on the Trial of Henry
Wlrr, witn the Argument of Colonel N. B.
Chipmnn, Judge-Advocate. By Ambrose Soen
cer. Harper A Brothers: New York, Philadel
phia Apt nts: J. U. l.lpplncott A Co.
Any book, however well it may be written,
unless lis Isctt are new, interesting, or Instruc
tive, Is a wnste of time, paper, cloth, and prin
ters' Ink. "Andersonvitle" is such a waste.
Why Mr. Ambrose Spencer, of Americus,
Georgia, saw tit to write a book upon the evi
dence elided Ht a trial, all of which was l iid
beiore the public, is to us unknown. Ho gives
us nothing new. His details were all brought
out beiore the military commission. His
descriptions are of little Interest, and hi
work or.ly seeais to drag lorth the snonl
deriug coal and rekindle the horror
and the haired which such barbarous
tyranny caused. We had hoped to have sunk
into oblivion all recollections of that earthy
hell, but they are once more piesent"d, with all
the glosMiig and gloating taxi lutions of a
veritable Jenkins. Tho book can do id good,
it will do linr-n ; and if. Mr. Spencer, .f Amortein,
Georgia, had leit It unwritten, the prolilction
would never have teen missed from the literary
world. The author himself Is not blind to the
evils which will naturally follow his work, but
pives us in his preface the a-uirance that "My
object In this publication is not to minister to a
motbld curiosity, but to place on record how
outrages and minders havo been committed
Glider the fJctiti tus plea of a struggle for indc
pendence." We have heard enough of such
horrors, and we therefore deprecate the ex
huming of the buried hatchet.
As, however, it has been published, we must
give the author credit tor a perspicuous,
pleasing style, and a good supply of imagery.
We will quote some of his passages describing
the very climax of the horrors In the priaon:
"It wilt readily be supposed that, unaer ciroum
stances euch us havo been nutrated. wuere no re
gard was hud tor toe couil'ort or health of tbo pri
soners, and whore thu simpiojt aud most obvious
laws ot liigiono were not only overlooked, but most
tysteinaticully disregarded, that a corresponding
tlluct would ho produced, and exhibit itseli iu the
conduct and in ilu mi mis ot the prisoners. A
body ot men, counted by tens of thousands, uestuuto
of clothing, destitute of shelter, starving, unre
strained by any authority bevond what was requi
site to keep ilium penuod up, except tlieir own un
regu.ated impulses, could not be herded together
lorany great luncto ot time without manifesiuig
some oi lhe very worst features of human uutu'e,
and rapid y retrograde to the normal condition of
the specie, and diupiay ail the characteristics of
t-avages.
"auch, indeed, was tbo effect produced by the
treatment oi tuese prisoners ut AudorsouriUe. Tho
daily, hourly degradation to which they wore
loiccd; the withdrawal or withholding of all moral
restraint; tne nuny, grovelling 1110 which the led,

slowly sunk them ueup r and ueepor into despon-
utLcy, lumoa me r mannoou into apathy, and do
bareu their courage into brutality. They wore con
verted into so many wild boasis, and each was am
mated but by ono purpose ioutiht to acoomplisn
nuiouooujuoi pro ouging luotr mieerao e lives by
pi eying upon tteir couirados in misfortune.
"Wirz had caretully marked the aradual develop
ment ol these dangerous tendeuoios, and was at last
eauslied that they had culminated into tho utter do
mora ization of tho wretched sucjects which be
comrmicu, ana no oegau, cowara as he was, to lear
their sudden exhibition towards hluipolf. tlis visits
to tho inside ot the stockaue, never lrequpnt, wore
now seldDin inude, uud thon with oxtreino precau
tions lor his own satetv. Ho well appreciated the
danger ol tbrusanii bimsolt into tho midst ot these
sturviDg, mudaeued, reckless men, lor he knew
that his life would not be worth a minute's uurohasa
in the hands oi these unutterably wrongod soldiers,
ana ne was, in cons quouce, scon only upon tne
platforms of tho sentme-s, outside tne walls. Ho wai
niraid ol any unusual assemblage of tho prisoners,
aud his orders to tho guards were imperative t
prevent t heir congregating touother. and to hinder
any compilations lor an escape, lie kept vigilant

stockade, and patrols, armed to tiiu teeth, made fre
quent explorations withiu tae prison lor that
purpose.
"inis Fcrutmy was not always unrewarded, for
frequently excava ioun and tunnels were discov
ered, witn channels leading lrom them, in a state
of completion which would soon insuro a freo pas

ties which Wits Inflicted, beoaust he reserved for
himseli th luxury of using his own engines to
punirh those who rebelled against hi authority
they must not be monopolized tor the protection of
th prisoners against their own members; they could
not con-lstentlv and salotv be turned loose again
alter having been cnnvio'ed of such heinous crimes,
for this would be making a mockery of tbe Juttioe
which their fellows had invoked; it was therefore
adjudged that they should hung!
"1 he day rame upon which those mlse-able men
were to expiate the crimes of which ihav had been
proven guilty. Wirz had ordered a rough gallows
to be erected within the stockade, and in the pre
sence of all the prisoners, with tbe sentinels' plat
forms arowded by soldiers, and the adjoining bills
lined with carious spectators, eagerly watching the
scene, these f ur wretched, debased men were exe
cuted, maintaining to the last thoir preforenoe lor
death, tven such a death as that, to living snob a
lile as they had led in that prison.
"However this may be, the cflent of this summary
vindication of personal rights was plainly evident
trom this timo lorth, and a greater degree of safety
lor person and property began to bo felt In tbe
prison But nothing cou d soften the hard heart of
the Jailor ol Andersonviilo, or force him to change
his policy towards bis luckless prisoners. Gaunt
lannne stalked more ghastly within and around that
pen; disease continued with. increasing strides to
claim its victims, while the shouts and imprecations
ol miserable maniacs harried the ears of the discon
solate men who Dined away there, and foreshadowed
their own late. It would beimpos-ible to say how
many were insane, or how few there were whose
intellects were not disordered by the troatment they
received.
"Tbe recollection of the sights In that prison will
hnnnt ti e mind years after its last post shall have
lotted ar ay , and grass has grown upon the graves
of its humble dead. Tbe sight of one whose lightof
reason has been extinguished is sad at anytime;
but sadder Iar is it when the mind Is foroed to an
eclipse through cruelty, starvation, and dlsoase.
Within ihe limns of that twenty-sevn acres of
peopled life they could be seen, with idiotic stare
and drivelling simper, wandering about, or gazing
in listless apathy around; nowshonting an insane
defiance to some imagined toe; now stealthily hiding
in tatirrcd garments some well-polished, often
gnawed bone; now sitting aloot while insensate
tears glided down their expressionless cheeks as
some ray lrom their far-off home lightened up their
darkened minds, or weakly summoned memory
lack ; now tramping to and fro in gloomy haggard
hi ss, while they raved with Incoherent curses, or
laughed with maniacal glee at a misery which made
strong men weep. All this and more could be wit
nessed here day after day, until the sights almost
became lamiliar, and ceased to awaken the horror
their exhibition would otherwise suggost,
"To this condition wero the prisoners at length
rtduced. Starvation, nukedness, cruel treatment
bad done thoir worst, and these were the results
upon brave and neroio men. For they were brave
men all ; and thoy were heroes too, who had taken
their live in their hands thoir once young and
ha; py lives, blight with the dreams of anticipated
success, joyous with tender loves who had been
calm amidst tho roar ot musketry, quiet when the
shriek of the wounded and dying arose around
them on tho battle-field who had lacod honorable
death with a Bmile."
The only port ion of the work which we can
heartily and truly commend, Is the argument of
Colonel Chipruan. Able, lucid, and comprehen
sive, It well merits the nattering comments be
stowed on it by Judge-Advocate General Holt,
and it was a grave error of Mr. Spencer to cur
tail it to make room for his moral reflections.
In lact, when you have read the entire argu
ment of Colonel Cbipman, you have read the
entire contents of the book, tor tho narrative,
as given by the author, is nothing more than an
amplification of tho legal summing up of the
Judge-Advocate. The work is neatly bound,
and is for sale by J. B. Lippiucott & Co.
Running the Gauntlet. A Novel. By Edward
Yates. Lortng, Boston, Mass. Agents: G.
W. Pitcher, Mo. 808 Chesnut street.
A thoroughly sensation novel Is a very good
literary tonic in its way. It is like the sensa
tional dramas, ridiculous because of the yellow
flames, unsuspected claps of thunder, and con
stant succession of murders; yet, lor all that,
it is frequently entertaining. The groundwork
of fiction, in which there is little prooability, is
not always an object'ot ridicule, "Running the
Gauntlet" Is one of the best novels of the illegiti
mate school that has fallen under our notice.
It is told with spirit, and many portions of It1
are probably drawn from real life, yet it is ot
the sensational order, and if the red flames are
repressed, w e can at least see their reflection.
It is a tale ot London fashionable life, exciting,
entertaining, and of a kind to awaken and keep
awake the interest of the reader. The character
of Laura Mason is, we repeat, too common for
us to doubts its truth. We admire the way in
which Mr. Yates deuls with her influences, and
can recommend the work as moral, yet dealing
with the immoral. The author Is a rising writer,
a frequent contributor to the various British
penodiciils, and is evidently improvlug In style.
'Running tbe Gauntlet" is a work better knit
together than "Broken to Harness." All the
readers of the latter cannot f;iil to admire the
lornier. It is lor sale by G. W. Pitcher, No. 808
