Nat thereupon plead an engagement
and loft; but as soon as he was out of
oar shot of his joker friend, repaired to
Gray's stable, in Warren:street, whore
he hired a fast horse and a light vela.
de, and with which ho started, thro'
a by street, for the residence of his
friend Cale, on Long Island. On ar•
riving, he loft his horse and wagon at
a
public house, and proceeded to the
aforesaid residence , whore he inquired
of the servant if Mr. Meeks was at
home. On being answered, as he knew
he would be, in the negative, he said:
'This is unfortunate. I wanted to
pay him some money. If I could see
Mrs. Meeks it would do as well;. she
could - give a receipt in her husband's
name.'
Mrs. Meeks was frugal and industri
ous, and always attentive to her hue.
band's interests. As the last remark
fell from the lips of Nat, a fine looking
matron called from up the stairs to the
servant 'to show the gentleman in the
parlor,' where she followed in a few
minutes. Nat bowed, and said :
desire tciseo Mrs. Meeks, madam.'
'Very well,' replied she, 'I am Mrs.
Meeks..'
'Pardon me, madam,' said Nat, with
a doubtful shako of the head; 'but this
is a matter of some importance—the
payment of money;, and you are not
the lady Mr. Meeks introduced to me
as his wife last winter.'
'Not the lady? What,' shrieked
she, 'do you mean to tell me that—'
simply tell you, madam,' replied
. Nat, with icy imperturbability, 'that
Mr. Meeks last winter, in Broadway,
near Leonard street, introduced me to
a lady whom he called Mrs. Meeks,
and you are not the lady.'
'lndeed exclaimed Mrs. Meek, ber
eyes flushing fire: 'how old was she?'
'Well, about twenly:fiVo.' "
'Twenty—five! And how was she
dressed 1'
'She wore her hair in ringlets, had
diamond ear rings!'—
" 'Diamond car rings
'A heavy silk' velvet- dress, very
largo gold bracelets, a magnificent
watch and chain'
'Well, go on,' she said spitefully.
`Silk velvet bat trimmed with mag—
nificent laco, and a muff and boa.'
'Boa!' screeched out the now thor
oughly irate dame : 'you'd better bore
your way out of this house, sir, mighty
quick, or else somebody- will have the
headache! No, sir, I am not Mrs.
Meeks, and I want you to leave.'
'O, certainly,' said Nat, who saw the
tallest kind of a storm brewing, and
who had good reason to believe that
the sturdy dame might launch at his
head a conk-shell or some other heavy
ornaments which adorned the mantle.
Nat thereupon beat a hasty retreat
from off the promises, and placed him
self behind a stone, wail, from which ho
could command a view of the Brooklyn
turnpike: lie did not wait long before
he saw amiable Cale driving down the
road, all unconscious of the ambush of
Nat. The expression of Cale's face
was one of great amiability, and ex
emplified that he was at peace with
'all the World and the rest of mankind.'
' a brief space of time Cale's steed
was given in charge of a stable boy,
and unconscious and happy, ho entered
his domicile and shut the door. The
moment.he .entered, an attentive ear
might have iletected- the sound , of a
voice in no way mellow or expressive
of endearment ; and in an instant after
Cale hurriedly came through the door,
with amazement on his front and a
mop in his roar, the soft end of which
was under the direct and per - spnal su•
perintendence of a lady who was very
red in .the face - and_ very sturdy in
arms, and who strongly resembled Mrs.
Meeks: - The battle had commenced
in the passage way. Cale's castor,
Which shone in the rays of the setting
sun as he drove down the - rnad, was

noiy. : very much bruised, and out of

over Cale's amiable physiognomy.
'What in thunder's out ?' yelled Cale
'Twenty five years old l'-shrieked
the infuriate dame, and bang Cale
caught the mop ever his shoulders.—
',Corkscrew ringlets!' and punk he got
it over the back, with all the strength
which nature and anger had given the
enraged lady. ,
'Blazes take you, don't do that!'
But it was no use, he had to take it.
'Diamond ear rings punk ! "Silk

"Watch and chain !' she shrieked,

Now fell the blows thick and cast op

apparel of the other Mrs. Meeks,
ing the utterance with - a blow upon
her proetrato and bleeding spouse.
But all•things must have an end
The violent exercise of the arms and
lungs, in which Mrs Meeks had indul
ged, had somewhat exhausted her.—
She rapidly ran through Nat's imagi•
nary dekription, and feeling her
strength departing, gathered herself
up for one grand and final effort. Cale
looked with horror on the upraised
mop : he hoard the words :
'O, tho huzzy I' shouted in a vigorous
tone, he beard a hurling, whizzing
sound in thi: air, and the next instant
Cale's nose was as flat as any other
part of - his face. The mop and his
sweet tempered wife retreated into
the mansion and left him alone-in his
gore. Slowly and with the most keen
sensation of pain, he raised himself to
a sitting posture, and with many a
groan of agony, proceeded to inspect
his personal condition.
'l'll bo hanged if this arm ain't bro
ken ! 0 ! and this left shoulder must
be dislocated I 0 0 ! and good gra
cious! what a nose! That woman
must be crazy ! I shant be able to go
about for a month ! 0, Lord, how
sore I am l'
Now Nat, with the most pleasurable
emotions, bad, through the crevice of
the fence-, observed the whole of the
littlo family jar which I have so feebly
described, and ho now stood looking
over the fence, at the. back of his dear
friend.
'I say, Uncle Cale I' shouted Nat.
'Hey!' said Cale, as ho turned, in
some little astonishment, a look upon
his comfier victim. •
'I say, Cale, how do you feel about
It now?'.
.0, you ---1' (I shall leave it
bt"t9 the enraged Cale, as he
sprang to feet — and — made for--the
house; fix your flint."
But Nat didn't want his flint fixed,
and therefore made his way, with all
possible celerity, up the road.
Soon after there appeared upon the
green award, rendered Sanguinary and
sacred by conjugal endearments, a
lame man with a.shocking bad bat,
and who had taken possession of a
fowling piece loaded with buckshot.—
If the lame man meant to shoot Nat,
ho reckoned' without his host. That
worthy, thanks to a long and thin pair
of legs, was out of gunshot range.
Cale from that time forth, and until
he filled the grave, eschelied dry-jok
ing, and was always sensitive on the
subject of mops.

DETAILED ACCOUNT Or THE
OCCUPATION.
CONDITION OF THE CITY.
TEE FIRE AND TEE EXPLOSION.
The Feeling Among the Citizens,
Wo make the following extracts,
from a letter to the Cincinnati Commer
cial, dated Charleston, February 18 :
Last night, about midnight, General
Gilmore left Hilton Head on the flag
steamer, the W. W. Colt, and I was
permitted to accompany him, my de
sire to do so being doubly strong from
a conviction that the crisis about
Charleston was fast, ripening. The
General gave orders to run to Bull's
Bay, which is about twenty-five miles
north of Charleston, and the immedi
ate hase of operations for a force of
Gilmore's troops under the command
of General Potter. •
After describing the approach to
Charleston and the placing of the flag
on Sumpter by Capt.' Bragg, the cor
respondent proceeds:
But the eye did not dwell long up.
on the network of defences which line
both shores of the harbor above Fort •
Sumpter, or on the burning wreck of
a rebel tug, beached above Moultrie.
It wandered back to the city lying
quiet, and save the column of smoke,
lifeless, in the calm afternoon sunshine,
with its five Or six white steeples, its
empty piers, and silent rows of houses.
The harbor and the city itself, from a
distance, reminded ono vividly, in min
iature, of Now York, from a like look
out, which, like Charleston, as. I need
hardly say, is compactly built on a
narrow strip at the confluence of two
rivers. We soon passed the obstruc
tions which, so far as we could see, are
simply-piles-drtuen_partlitly ma.tue
harbor a mile from the city, with am
ple room left in the channel remaining
open to admit two or three ships
abreast. We saw our flag,--a small
otieflattering fpgrix the cupola of the
olepostoffice. At : one of the piers
were two of our smaller tugs; at .an
other, one of our light-draft gunboats,
and at anchor, a short distance front
the dock, was Admiral Dahlgren's flag
boat. The Colt, the fifth vessel to
reach Charleston, swung beside-a-orazy.
old pier, to reach which first, two of
the officers of the' Colt had a playful
scuffie, the result of which verified the
maxim that the battle is not always to
the strong. The motley crowd of some
hundred on the pier to which the tugs
were fastencd,seeing a handsome trans.
port land with its
. two large white
stars on a field of blue, flying the jack
staff, deserted the little crafts and the
Admiral, and rapidly_ made a detour
to the pier at which we rode. A lot
of urchins, in worn Oat rebel jackets,
were the skirmiihers ; then negroes, of
both sexes, who rushed to shake hands
with such of the; crew as were already
ashore; then ton or:fifteen stragglers,
all Irish or Cerman, front the rebel
army, who had hidden to lan into our
hands, and looked on without demon
stration ; and, lastly, a squad of five
young ladies, of. German extraction,
pretty , well, dressed for - Charleston,
twenty per cent of the five being rosy,
plump, good4Ooking and,-all not in the
least afraid of the Tankees. In all,
GcneralGilmore's committee of recep
tion numbered barely one hundred,
and was :composed as nave stated.
Along the whOle liee of • piers not an
other sent was visible, save a few of
our colored soldiers. The streets down
which we could:look: were • deserted,
not a horse or a vehicle in sight. No
smoke arose from the 'chinaneyS, no
blinds were 'thrown open. But the
piers , told the, most eloquent tale. of
decay. They were crazy, neglected,
and a sorry tomb-stone to departed
traffic. On none of thorn was there
the slightest eiidence that any corn
.merce had been carried on there in the
memory of man: Thepileil were awry,
the planking warped "and dismantled,
and in 'places removed altogether.
EVea the rings worn on the stanchions
the old-time cables were no longer
visible. Around the piles, and for a
short distance out in the harbor, float
od clots of halfloonanined cotton,. sent
nearer shore; by every impulse of the.
flood-tide, and - not.ati all ;detracting
from the aspect of cOiatnercial ruin. -

The smoke from the upper end of the
city (which was caused by the confla
gration of about six thousand bales of
cotton piled in the yard adjoining the
Wilmington depot) had already set the
garrisons on Morris and , Janies Islands
on the qtti vice, and skirmishers went
forward at an early hour, on the latter
island s toward and into Fort Johnson,
which was of course, deserted. Some
delay occurred in getting small boats
ready ; which, however, was at length
accomplished, and the boats filled with
both ' white and, colored troops, the
whole under command of Lieut. Col.
A. G. Bennet i of the 21st U. S. Colored
Troops. 'The boat fleet pushed over to
Sumpter, and found that empty; they
then headed towards Charleston, for
which the crews pulled heartily: At
half-past eleven the boats grated on the
beach at Charleston; Lieutenant Col
onel Bennet was the first to jump
ashore, though his detachment closely
contested that honor with him. Very
few citizens were on the piers while
our boats were approaching, and no
demonstration followed the landing.
Mayor Mcßeth was close at band who
made the usual plea for protection of
life and property.
The roar guard of the enemy, which
had lingered to pillage rather than
serve, any military purpose, did not
leave the outskirts until half-past elev
en ; and it does not seem to have been
their design to molest our occupation
of Charleston, even with a small force.
General Schimmolpfennig arrived
shortly after, and took command of the
city. Admiral .Dahlgren arrived short
ly in his flagboat Philadelphia, about
two P. M. and it was nearly three when
the boat of General Gilmore touched
tho wharf.
General Schimmelpfennig reported
that the number of guns, in all, that
nearly two hundred ; all of which wore
spiked, but very
,few dismounted. The
guns are mostly heavy, and a number

uos remark. • They did not appear to
care a pin about the matter, and seemed
so well prepared for it that they took
the approach of our boats,-and landing,
as a matter of course.. The first land
ingwas witnessed byjust such a crowd,
as to nth:fib - ors - anti cumposi Lion, as flock
ea on the pier when General Gilmore
landed. • -
A dreadful calamity Occurred at the
Wilmington depot, in which a quanti
ty of coMmiseary stores bad been i left,
and which a motley crowd of people
—men,. women and• children, were
appropriating. • While the depot was
crowded by those pillagere, a quantity
of powder in it was ignited in a unac
countable way, blowing the building
to pieces, Wiling and wounding a large
number. Some_ of the citizens with
whom "conversed estimated the num
ber at two or three hundred, which
possibly is exaggerated. ' The Wil•
mington depot is in the upper part of
the city, and General Gilmore's 'visit
was so brief, hardly an hour in dura
tion, that I had no opportunity to
visit the scone of disaster. It was this
explosion that we bad witnessed at
Bull's Bay.
I descended from the Colt and en
gaged in conversation with three des
erters. The spokesman of the party
was a deserter from the Palmetto
State, one of the rebel iromclads in
Charleston harbor. The fleet, consis
ting of the Chicora, four guns, the
Palmetto State, four guns, and the
Charlestcn, six guns, were run a short
distance up Ashley river and there
destroyed, early in the morning.
Beauregard, the report ran, had evac
uated Charleston for the purpose of
concentrating to give Sherman battle,
and it was the impression that one of
the greatest battles of tho war•. would
be fought somewhere in South Caroli
na, provided Sherman did not speedi
ly retrace his steps. These men had
heard nothing of reinforcements' arri
ving from Lee's army, and they wore
of the opinion that by the time Har
dee and 'Beanregard concentrated;
Sherman would have his hands full.
'I singled mit: in the crowd on the pier,
ti, man whom f :judged from the dress
and appearance; to have not much in
common with the poor people around
him. Ile informed the that he had
Secreted, in his store and dwelling

another, al ways receiving. ivith• Tiqu-

°us • indignation any hint that connect
ed their departure with amilitaryerisis.
And so, some went to Colaintria, some
to North Carolina, some to Rielimcin'd..
During four or five days preceding
the evacuation the mask was thrown
off. Sherman's daring was terrifying,
and his rate of speed, per diem, not
the modest average day'd march
through Georgia.. The mantle of dig:
nity fell oft the sham., and die skedad
dle (I don't like the word, but it is
good enough for Charleston), rapidly
culminated: • • •
The reads: to .Wilmington, being :the,
only ones not trapped by Sherman;.
were thronged.
The Military evacuation commenced
in earnest about three days before
General Sherman captured."-Columbia.
Militia was thrown over into the
forts, and the regular troops with
drawn and sent to Wilmington. The
Firemen's Brigade, numbering . three
or four hundred men, were sent to
James Island. All this time General
Gilmore was - worrying them at a half
dozen different points. General llnteia,
with his coast division ; Wag making
mischief south of the city, at Comba
bee river. General Potter with a
strong detachment, made the
.enemy
uneasily anxious concerning Bull's
Bay, north of the city. General
Schimmelfenning seemed big with 'dis
quietude, on James Island. All these
operations by forces of unknown
strength, with Sherman decidedly in
the rear,hastened matters sensibly du
ring the last days of Charleston under
Confederate rule. Confusion became
apparent.• When the operations at
Bull's Bay began, the Firemen's. Bri
gade. was ordered from James.. Island
to thaVregion. They refused to run
with - the military machine any longer.
Theyswore they 'Wouldn't go to Bull's
