SCOTT AND THE VETERAN.
BY DAY A U D TAYLOR
Ad old and crippled veteran to the War Department came;
Ho sought tho Chief who led him on many afield of fame—
The Chief whoshouted *Forwardl’ wnercVrhiad)anucrro»o,
And bore its stars lu triumph behind tho flying foes.
“Have you forgotten, General," tho battered soldier criedj
“‘The days of eighteen hundred twelve, when X was at your
side ?
Have you, forgotten Johnson, who fought at Lundy's Lane f
*TLs true I'm old and pensioned, but 1 want to fight again."
“Have I forgotten?" said tho Chief—‘
No’
And here’s the hand I gave you then, and lot it tell you so.
But you have done your share,my friend; you’re crippUd,
old and gray, -
And we have need of younger anna and fresher blood to-day.’ *
■But, General!" cried the veteran—a flash upon his brow—
Tho very men who fought with us, they say, are traitors
now;
They’ve tern the Flag of Lundy’s Lane—our old lied,
White and Blue—
And while a drop of blood is left, I’ll show that drop is
true.
“ I’m not so .weak but 1 can strike, and I’ve a gobd old gun,
To got tho range of traitors’ hearts, and prick them one by
one;
Your Mime rifles and such arms it’s not worth while to
try;
I couldn’t get tho hang o’ them, but I’ll keep my powder
> dryl"
,“God bios* you, comrade!* ' said tho Chicf—“Ood blesa
your loyal heart!
But younger men are in the Held, aud claim to have their
part;
Xliey’ll plaot our sacred Banner in each rebellious town,
Aud woo, henceforth, to any hand that dares to pull it
down!”
“But, Gcnt-rall" (still persisting,) the weeping veteran
cried:
“I’m young enough to follow, so long os you’re my guide;
And some you know mnat bite the dust, and that at least
can I;
So, give tho young a place to fight, but mo a place to die!
If they should fire 6u Pickens, let tho Colonel in com*
maud
Put me upon tho ramparts, with the flagstaff In my hand;
No odds UoW hot the cannoD-fcmokc, or how the shells may
fly,
ITI hold the Stars ami Stripes aloft, and hold them till I die'
“I’m ready, General; so you a post to mo be given,
Where Washington can eeo me, os ho looks Irom highest
Heaton,
And say to,Putnam at his side, or may bo GcnT Wayne:—
‘There stands old Billy Johnson, who fought at Lundy's
LanoT
“And when tho fight is hottest, before the traitors fly—
When shells and, balls are whizzing, and bursting in the
•kjr- ' *
If any shot should hit me, and lay me on my face,
My soul would go to Washington's, and not to Arnold's ,
place I”

Buckiiannon, Va., July 7, ’6l.
A gallant band of fifty Buckeyes, Third
Ohio Regiment, under Capt. 0. A. Lawson,
of Columbus, made a good record yester
day afternoon, at Middle Fork Bridge. —
On Friday afternoon, without Gen. Mc-
Clellan’s knowledge, General Schleigh or
dered Col. Morrow to detach fifty men for
a scouting expedition. Surgeon M’Means
accompanied the party —five men being
taken from each Company of the Regi
ment. The expedition proceeded by bri
dle-paths across the hills to a point on
Beverly pike, five miles this side of Mid
dle Fork Bridge, and encamped-for the
night. About midnight, Union men ap
pealed to them for protection against ma
rauding rebels who had pillaged their
houses, and forced their women and chil-;
dren to flee to the woods for safety. Law
son scaled mountain and crossed
Middle Fork in the morning, two-and-a
half miles above the bridge. He followed
the stream, .with great difficulty, through
unbroken thickets, until he reached a
good ambush within musket range of the
bridge, which was crowded with rebels. —
The enemy discovered his party, and an
advance-guard of five cautiously moved
towards him from the bridge, all ready
with their muskets. Ilis men stood up,
and both parties fired simultaneously.—■
Three of the rebels fled at the first round,
and the other two dropped immediately
afterwards. The enemy now opened upon
his little band from three tides— from the
[INDEPENDENT IN EVEETTHINO-]
bridge, behind its embankments, and the
thickets on the hillside.
.H. C. PEEK,
In order to get a better opportunity he
moved his men into an open space, seventy
five yards from, and commanding the east
ern entrance of the bridge, and poured
into the crowd of rebels a galling fire.—
The effect was, awful imprecations and
screams of “ murder.” His men obeyed
orders with absolute composure. A num
ber had already been hit, and one was
killed in the act of firing. After firing
four rounds into the bridge, he ordered a
retreat, and the lads backed slowly into
the bushes, carrying their wounded. The
enemy did not pursue, and his party re
crpssed the stream a mile-and-a-half above
the bridge. Capt. Lawson brought away
the musket of the dead soldier, but was
unable to carry off the body—the enemy’s
ambuscades from the hillsides being too
hot. He says his party was not much
harassed by the party at the bridge, but
the ambuscade was annoying
Those in the bridge and behind the
embankment would pop up their heads
and blaze away without good aim, but
those in the bushes were more deliberate.
An Irishman in the party says it was “ hot
as hell!” Lawson says his men behaved
splendidly; not a man flinched, and they
obeyed orders just as promptly as if on
dress parade.
The men say that the Captain himself
animated them by his cheerful voice,
which was heard above the din of the
conflict. Dr. McMeans says the Captain
was as calm and collected as if he were
playing soldier.
The casualties were as follows;—Samuel
W. Johus, of Hamilton, Butler county,
shot dead by a ball through the breast ;
corporal High, of Columbus, shot in the
right foot by a rebel from the hillside.—
The ball struck the top of his ancle, and
passed downward, shattering the small
bones of the foot. The surgeons hope
to save the foot, but it is doubtful. High
was in the front of the battle, and fell
exclaiming—“ Captain, I’m „ bit, but I
must have another shot; rising aud stand
ing on one foot, he loaded and fired twice
more, when, being faint, two of his com
rades assisted him into the bushes. Nich
olas Black, a Brighton butcher boy, of
Cincinnati, was struck in the forehead,
over the i;ight eye, by a buckshot, which
lodged between the skull bones —a severe
wound, but not dangerous. He fell, but
rose again and took two more shots at the
enemy. George W. Darling, of Neward,
was shot in the left arm ; the ball entered
at the elbow, and traversed the muscles
of the arm seven or eight inches, plough
ing up a ghastly furrow; the bone was
not broken. David Edson, of Barqcs
villc, Belmont county, slightly wounded
in the right 'arm. Joseph Backus, of
Newark, slightly wounded in the left leg.
William Dening of Hamilton, Butler Co.,
had the skin above his right car cut by a
ball. Seven .or eight of. the men received
scratches, and had their clothing riddled.
Captain Lawson says, Mr. Miller, of Wor
thington, was tho coolest and pluckiest
fellow in the fight. He was the last to
quit the field, and left the bushes twice
to get a fair shot; but Dr. McMeans said
every man of the party displayed good
pluck. The wounded were brought to
the hospital in wagons, this morning, and
are comfortable. Captain Lawson and his
men are confident that some were killed
on the bridge. Seven were killed outside
of the bridge. AIJ accounts agree that
the rebels were about 300 strong, mostly
Georgians, including forty horsemen who
were armed with Sharpe’s carbines.
General McClellan is much pleaied with
the gallantry of the men, but severely
censures the expedition. Lawson gives
valuable information about the topography
of Middle Fork.
•“my breve old soldier,
We are indebted to James McFetridge,
Esq., late United States collector at Pem
bina, for the particulars of a bloody fight
between the Sioux and Chippewas, ot
which he was an eye-witness, at St. Jo
seph, on the Pembina river, on the 10th
of June last.
Last summer, while the lion. Charles
Grant was encamped with a party of hun
ters, on Mousd river, twelye horses were
stolen from him by a party of Yankton
Sioux. Nothing was heard of the horses
until the 10th of June last, when a party
of thirty-two Sioux warriors accompanied
by two squaws, arrived at St. Joseph with
the stolen property, for the purpose of re
turning it, in pursuance of a recent treaty
made between Pembina half-breed hunters
and the Yankton Sioux. The delegation
with the stolen horses arrived opposite St.
Joseph about two o’clock in the afternoon;
they immediately crossed the river and
proceeded to the residence of Gov. Wil
kie a member of the Territorial Legisla
ture.
Unfortunately, a large party of Chippo
was, and also parties of Assiniboincs and
Cres were encamped at St. Joseph, and
the Cbippewas fired on the Sioux when
they were in the act of entering Governor
Wilkie’s house. The Sioux took posses
sion of the house, and, removing the
“ chinking” from between the logs, re

turned the fire with effect. From this
time until midnight a constant firing was
kept up between the Indians. Six Chip*
pewas, three Sioux, and two Assiniboines
were killed during the struggle. Gover
nor Wilkie’s daughter in passing within
range of the combatants, was severely
wounded in the thigh by an arrow.
Mr. McFetridge describes the scene as
terribly exciting, and relates instances of
great individual bravery. One Chippewa,
a son of the Chief, Bad Bear, was shot
three times in attempting to ! enter the
house; at each shot he fell to the ground,
but raised himself, and pushed forward;
his progress was stopped at the treshold
by one of the Sioux cleaving his head
through to the chin with an axe.
The House occupied by the Sioux is
about two hundred feet from the river.
The Chippewas surrounded it, and, to
make their escape, the Sioux were com
pelled to ruw that distance, and wade the
river to the south bank, in the face of a
constant fire from, their enemies. This
they did aided by the darkness of the
night, with but the loss of one warrior,
who was found dead by the Chippewas in
the morning, on-the south badk of the
stream. The Sioux left behind them thir
ty-two horses in addition to the twelve
stolen ones, and the dead bodies of three
of their warriors.
Mr. McFctridge states that the resi
dence of Gov. Wilkie resembled a slaugh
ter-house, on the morning after the con
flict. Five Chippewaa and two Sioux
were lyiug dead on the floor, which was
covered with their b100d... The Sioux did
not scalp the dead Chippcwas in the house
nor mutilate their bodies. The Chippe
was were more brutal; they cut up the
dead bodies of their foes and burned
them.
Although the half-breeds of iSt. Joseph
refrained from taking any part iq the fight,
they arc apprehensive of an attack from a
body of Sioux, now encamped at Devil’s
Lake. The Sioux promised to return and
settle accounts with the Chippewas, in
numbers like the' mosquitoes—a very for
cible simile in that locality.
Congress appropriated, a year or more
ago, §50,000 for the erection of a fort on
Pembina river, to prevent such outrages
as this. We submit that the occurrence
here related indicates the necessity of im
mediate action on the part of the Federal
Government. There should bo a perma
nent military post located at St. Joseph,
or in that vicinity, immediately.
Two Forgiven Deserters. —A lady
of Alexandria narrates the following inci
dent, which affords a striking, but sad il
lustration of the effects of civil war. The
lady in question has resided with an. only
daughter for many years in Alcxandaia. I
About nine months since, a mutual friend
introduced a young gentleman of Rich
mond to "the family. The young people
soon became intimately acquainted, and
quite naturally fell in lovo. The parents
on both sides couscnting, the parties were
betrothed, and the marriage day was fixed
fof the 4th of July, inst. In the mean
time, however, Virginians were called up
on to decide upon which side they would
stand. : The ladies declared themselves on
the side of the Government, hut the gen
tleman joined the forces of his State. No
opportunity' was afforded for the inter
change of sentiments between the-young
folks or anything settled as to their future
movements. Matters thus remained until
the 4th of July, when exactly within an
hour of the time originally fixed for the
marriage, intelligence was conveyed to the
residence of the ladies that the young man
had been shot by a sentry two days before,
while attempting to desert and join his
bride. His betrothed did not shed a tear,
but standing erect, smiled, and then re
marking to her mother, “ I am going to
desert too,” fell on the floor, while the life
blood bubbled from her lips, and on the
Monday following her remains were con
veyed to their last resting place.
A Singcxar Dxvice. —In the Superior
Court, a few days since, a colored individ
ual, named James Preston, was sentenced
to eight years in the State Prison. Pre
vious to his removal, and while in the room
assigned for prisoners, he was visited by
his wife, whose peculiar appearance ex
cited some sympathy for tlxe case. In the
illness at which her appearance hinted she
would be without the comforting and con
soling society of her husband, and she
must struggle, unaided, to obtain food for
another mouth. She satf her convict lord,
but what transpired during the interview
is unknown, further than that she unwound
from about her person a long strip of bed
ticking material, sixty or seventy feet in
length, with a hook upon one end, and
with this article Preston tried to make his
escape. Ho placed the hook upon the
window bar and jumping suddenly out
was in the qct of descending to the ground
—-from the fourth story and in broad day
light—when Constable Smith’ caught him
I hy the wooi and hauled him back to the
| room. The whole affair caused much ex
-1 citcment, and its more amusing features
will not soon be forgotten. Mrs. P. is “as
well as could be expected.’ 7 —Hostou Post

A Knowing Contraband.—A num
ber of “ contrabands” are in the camp of
the Connecticut regiment, at Falls Church,
Ya., where they take to work very cheer
fully. A little ten year old came in the
other day, who had evidently learned fast
of late. Says a letter in the Hartford
Press.: “Who owns you?” said I. “flOr
body don’t own me," said he, (i I owns
myself.” Treasonable —very. Ho says
he “ don’t like the Virginny soldiers.”—
I asked him how he knew we would treat
him well. “ Oh, I tnowed,” said he, “ and
I seed oder folks a cornin’ yere.”
Jtas“ A female military company named
the Hnioh Captivators, has been formed at
Falmouth, Ky., and over- thirty of the
young ladies of the place have joined the
organization. The uniform is an apron of
the old fashioned cut, made of red, white
and blue—that part covering the bosom
representing the stars and the lower part
the stripes.
During the trial of the Holbrook
divorce case, at Dedham, Mass., one of the
lawyers proposed to narrate a history of
the case. “ Don’t want to hear it/’ said
Judge Metcalf, “ I havn’t heard anything
else for two years.”
Sometime since, a letter was re
ceived at the Chicago post office, directed
to an “Honest Man.” The chief clerk -
sent it to the dead letter department, with
the candid confession that no such a man
lived in Chicago.
“My son, haven’t I told you three
times to go and shut that gate?” said »
lather to a four year old. “Yes,” said
Young American, “and havent’t I told
you three times that Iwould’nfcdo it? You
must bo stupid.”
