••Te•A4ventnre ofa VirCinian.
The author-a- "Lee's Last Battles,"
"gtontAillt l hckson," "Mosby," &c.,
Sariailiiito the New York World an
gagresthig narrative of the experience
of It son of a distinguished Virginia
tainily, who was captured in the exten
sive and hard-fought cavalry battle at
Fleetwood Hill, near Brandy Station,
in June, 1863. His real name and con
nections belong, it is said, to an illustri
ous family; but he was taken in battle
as a private cavalryman, and with other
Confederates was carried across the Rap
pahannock and into the "Yankee"
camp, where he discovered in a Federal
soldier an old friend of his :
He was greeted with the utmost
pleasure, and the youths shook hands,
laughing like boys at the odd meeting.
From talk about old scenes, and things
of the past, the conversation glided to
the present, and the young Virginian's
unlucky situation. Relying, upon their
former friendship, the latter at once
broached the subject of his escape.
"1 wish I could help you" was the
reply, "but I see no sort of chance of
your getting away, W—."
"I think I can get off in the dark."
"Perhaps; but crossing the river is
in difficulty. The bridge is picketed."
The young Virginian, nevertheless,
determined to make the attempt. From
thatmoment he kept aclose watch upon
the movements of his captors. Having
eaten their suppers, they now addressed
themselves to the task of counting, as
sorting, and taking down the names of
their prisoners— The latter were drawn
up in line near the fire, and a federal of
ficer went along the line, taking down
their names and regiments in his mem
orandum book. Lieut. W was
near the head of the line, and having
given his name and regiment —the
Twelfth Virginia cavalry—saw the offi
cer pass on. I have called him Lieut.
but the young man was at that
time a private ; and at the announce
ment of his historic name the federal
soldiers began to laugh, one of them say
ing '"f he Old Dominion must he hard up
when her aristocracy have to go into
the ranks and wear a jacket like that !"
And he pointed to W--'s old, discolor
ed cavalry jacket. The young man was,
however, not thinking of the jokes of
his captors ; he was watching his op
portunity to glide out of the line. It
soon came. The Federal soldiers were
not looking at him; the recording offi
cer had passed around the lire, the light
of which thus shone for au instant in
his eyes; and dazzled him ; and Lieut.
AV-- saw his opportunity. The space
outside of the firelight was as gloomy as
Eblis, and in a moment he had stepped
from his place, and was lost in the dark
ness. He glided behind a tent, ran a
few steps. and then 'mused to listen.
Had his movement been observed
Would they go over the count again, to
verify the record': Then, one man
would be found missing ; he would be
at once pursued, recaptured, and re
warded for his attempt to escape by
painful or ignominious punishment.
He listened with all his ears ; he held
his breath and soon found that he was
not missed. The officer did notsuspect
the MSG which had been played upon
him ; and the prisoners were marched
off under guard. Lieutenant W
saw them disappear with profound satis
faction, and then all his energies were
bent to the hard task of getting out of
the federal camp and crossing the river.
Theprospeet looked sufficiently dispirit
ing. He was in the center of a city of
tents, where he could not stir a step
without attracting attention ; and even
if he succeeded in escaping the vigilance
of the men and the quarter•guard, the
road and deep current of the Rappahan
nock lay still in his path—the single
bridge heavily picketed. The young
man did not lose heart for a single mo
ment, howeVer, and like a good soldier
determined to " take the chances."
The first thing was to conceal his
identity from the men around the fires.
He accordingly took off his gray jacket,
and rolling it up, put it under his arm.
His pantaloons were blue, and his but
was of an indefinable color, which
might be either confederate or federal.
In his bosom, between his shirt and
naked breast, he concealed his spurs,
which he had unbuckled and hidden
when he was captured. Having thus
prepared himself, Lieutenant W
walked boldly on, and lounged careless
ly by the fires. One of the men asked
him what regiment he belonged to, as
if they observed something unfamiliar
in his demeanor; but his ready reply,
giving the name of some federal regi
ment, disarmed suspicion. So much
cavalry had taken part in the fight, and
it had been 'so much scattered, that
W--- was set down for one of the
Many stragglers; and walking by the
fires, and the quarter-guard who started
at but did not challenge him, he gained
the bank of the Rappahannock.
He had thus:succeeded in his second
attempt; bvt obstacle No. 3 threatened
to be more serious. The river before
him was broad, deep, black and cold.
The bridge near by was guarded ; he
heard the sentinel pacing to and .fro,
and a second at the further extremity.
What was to be done? Kill the senti
nel by suddenly attacking and seizing
his weapon? That under other circu
stances, might have been done; but
there was the other sentinel who would
at once give the alarm—then recapture
and a "latter end worse than the first."
This plan was thus out of the question.
But one hope presented itself. The fu
gitive could swim the river, but if by any
means he couldclimb up to the floor of
the bridge indidc of the sentinel, he might
perhaps, crawl along without beingdis
covered, "flank" the sentinel beyond
and so get back to his friends. Young,
lithe, bud determined, Lieutenant W—
speedily made a reconnoissance of th.o
abutment of the bridge to ascertain the
possibility of executing his project. To
his great satisfaction he discovered a
pipe running from a tank above to the
water below—for this was the Orange
and Alexandria Railroad bridge—and
the rivets securing the pipe to the
masonry afforded him an excellent foot
hold iu climbing. Glidimr" beneath the
sentinel in the darkness, he crept into
the shadow, grasped the pipe, and, with
hands and knees, climbed foot by foot
up the abutment, until he had reached
the edge of the floor-way. His hands
were torn and his knees lacerated, but
he had taken another step toward
liberty.
What now remained to' be done was
to crawl along the narrow edge of the
parapet, under shadow of a species of
low railing, and, crossing the bridge,
pass around the other sentinel, in some
manner, and escape. This, however,
was the most doubtful, as it certainly
was the most dangerous portion of the
adventure. The bridge was very lofty,
the ledge narrow, slippery, add unpro
tected, for he must move outside of the
railing for fear of discovery ; a single
false step would precipitate him into the
river beneath. Even if this dangerwere
avoided, there was a sentinel beyond,
and a picket, doubtless, beyond the sen
tinel. Lieutenant W was revolv
ing = in his mind these various
circumstances, and had begun to
take a rather discouraging view of
things, when his attention was at
tracted by the sound of steps coming
from the directibn of the federal camp.
A detachment of dismounted men were
evidently approaching the bridge, and
in a few moments the voice of the sen
tinel was heard giving' the challenge.
"Relief !" was the reply, and then came
"Advance relief!" which was immedi
ately followed by the appearance of the
relief guard. The sentinel was relieved
from his post, and took his place among
the new guard, one of whom was posted.
and the detachment was heard tramp
ing across the bridge to relieve in the
same manner the other sentinels; as
they came on, tramp ! tramp! like the
Statue of the commander in " Don Gio
vanni "—theyoung Virginian conceived
an idea as bold as it was original. It
was difficult to travel along the narrow
ledge without falling into the black
gulf below ; and it was questionable
whether any friendly water-pipe
would enable him to " flank "
the sentinel at the opposite ex
tremity of the bridge. Why not " fall
in" in the darkness with the unsus
pecting detachment, pass through the
guard beyond,. and then take the
chances of making his escape? His
resolution was at once taken, and as the
guard came opposite his place of con
cealment behind the low wood-work of
the railing, he crouched lower, waited
until they had passed and then quietly
stepping over the railing fell in behind.
The movement had been undiscovered;
he was now advancing with measured
step_ to "assist," as the French say, at
relieving the " Old Guard " on the
.rldges--himself an honorary member
of the "relief!" " •
His ruse - was crowned with complete
suecess. He passed with the detach
ment, undiscovered, to a point beyond
the bridge; and - then, stepping out of
the ranks—a manoeuvre which_ pitch
darkness rendered by no means difficult
—he concealed himself until the un
suspecting Federals disappeared. He
then crawled on his hands and knees,
crouching close to the ground, by an
other picket which he saw upon the
road, and reaching a point where he be
lieved himself beyond range, rose to
his feet and commenced moving. All
at once he saw before him another picket
fire, and not knowing whether it was
that of friends or enemies, he again
crouched down and slowly approached
the fire, crawling upon his chest along
the surface of the ground.
He had succeeded too well up to this
time to risk anything, and he according
ly continued to "snake along" toward
the fire, in order to discover, before
making himself known, whether the
group around it were friends or enemies.
In this slow and cautious manner he ap
proached until he was within ten yards of
it, where, hidden behind a stump, he
attentively reconnoitered. The result
was indecisive. He could not possibly
succeed in discovering whether the
pickets were federal or confederate ; and
in relating his adventure afterwards
Lieutenant W. declared that his heart
now throbbed with greater anxiety than
at any other 'time during the whole af
fair. He continued for some time thus
crouching behind his stump, and his
doubt was painful protracted. At last it
it came to an end ; he breathed freely
again. One of the men rose from the
ground, yawned, and said : " I don't
believe there will be a Yankee on this
side of the river by the morning."
Whereupon Lieutenant W— rose
up, approached the fire d and, with a
laugh, made himself knoWn, to the
profound astonishment and confusion
of the sleepy pickets, who had thus re
ceived a practical illustration of the ease
with which an enemy might approach
and send a bullet through their hearts.
They, however, received Lieutenant
W with military hospitality; gave
him a portion of their rations; divided
their blanrels; and overcome with fa
tigue, he lay down and slept until day
light.
lielbre sunrise he was at Gen. Stuart's
Headquarters, and was relating his curi
ous ativenturi- to the huge amusement
of the laughing cavalier. He was with
out horse, arms, or other clothes than
those which lie wore ; but lie was free,
and he had his spurs, carried through
out, against his naked breast.
Snell was the adventure of Lieuten
ant W , and such the means he
used in making his escape. The narra
tive may appear romantic, but I assure
the reader that it is literally true.
Diary of llenry Wirz
His Protestations of Innocence---Como-
passion and Contempt for His Accusers
---R lng Co t on the Trial.
Npecial Dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune.]
WAsiiiNGToN, Monday', Nov. 13,'G5.
The following is the diary kept by
while in prison during the pro
gress of the trial:
OLD CAPITOL PRISON, Oct. 1, 1865
Everything is quiet around me. No
sound but the measured stops of the
sentinel in the corridor can be heard.
The man who is sitting in my room is
nodding in his chair. Poor, short
sighted mortals that we all are. This
Wall is put iu my room to watch me, to
prevent any attempt I might forcibly
make to take my own life. My life—
what is it worth to any one except my
self and my poor family, that they
should be so anxious? I think I un
derstand it very well ; they are . afraid
I might cheat them and the pulic at
large from having their revenge, and
giving, at the same time, the masses the
benefit of seeing a man hung. If that
is all, they are welcome. I have no de
sire to live; perhaps there was never a
more willing victim dragged to the scat'-
: fold than I am. Why should I desire
to live? A beggar, crippled, and with
my health and spirit broken—why, oh
I why, should I desire to live? For the
sake of my family? My family will do
as well without Inn as with me. Instead
of- providing fur and taking care of
them, I would be a burden to them.
And still knowing all that, why do I
not put an end to my life? Because, in
the first instance, what I suffer now is
the will of God. God—how much is
not in this word—what tower ofstreugth,
or consolation ! Yes, Heavenly Father,
if it was not Thy will I would not be a
prisoner. I would not be looked at,
spoken of,as a monster such as the world
has never seen and never will see. If
that which I suffer now was not put on
me by Thee for some wise purpose,
would be as free as the bird in the air.
Thou and I—we two alone—know that
I am innocent of those terrible charges.
Thou and I, we both know that I never
took the life of a fellow-man—that I
never caused a man to suffer and die in
consequence of ill-treatment inflicted by
Inc ; and still I am tried for murder.—
Men have sworn that they saw me do
it ; they have called on Thee to witness
that they would tell the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth, and
still they told a lie—a lie black as hell
itself. Why did'st Thou not send a thun
derbolt from the high heavens—why, oh
God, why ? Because it is 'Thy holy will,
and in humility I kiss the rod with
which Thou seest proper to chastise me.
The second reason why I did not de
stroy a life which is a burden to me, is
because I owed it to myself, my family
my relations, even the world at large, to
prove that there never existed a man so
utterly devoid of all humanity, such a
fiend incarnate, as it has been attempted
to prove me to be. I see very well that
I have no earthly show—that I am a
doomed man ; but thanks be to God that
I am enabled to say with holy Stephanus,
Lord, lay not this sin to my charge.
They judge from what they hear and I
must abide by it.
It makes me feel very sorry, and at
the same time I could almost smile
when I see men like Col. Parsons and
Capt. Wright give their testimony; how
careful they first weigh every word !
how afraid they are to say something
which might, perhaps, implicate them
selves ! I pity them. A day will come
when they will be sorry that they took
not a more manly stand than they did.
Perhaps one of the hardest things I have
to bear is when I hear such men speak
now and recollect what they have said
and how they acted a year ago. Then
they did not say that they did not wish
to associate with me. Oh! no ; then
they visited my house and invited me
to theirs. But enough. I despise and
always have despised a coward.
My wife has tried again to see me to
day, but could not because Gen. Baker,
who, by order of the Secretary of War,
has to be present at the interview, is
still sick. I think it is pretty hard;
because a man is sick, I have= been de
prived now for two weeks of almost the
only joy, to see my poor wife. It looks
to me that, among the hundreds of
officials at Washington one could be in
trusted with the fearful responsibility
to let a sick prisoner see his wife, talk
with her for thirty minutes about their
dear children, their domestic affairs.
But why should I grumble or have any
bitterness in my heart. I think I ought
to be proud that a Government like the
Government of the United States con
siders me of such importance to take
such extraordinary measures.
For five weeks have I asked in vain
to have the permission to see a minister
of the gospel—to get such consolation
as I thought I needed. Part of the time
I was at death's door; and finally, on
yesterday, I was allowed to see the Rev.
Father Boyle; but during the whole
time, except during confession, the offi
cer was present. I think it is high time
to blot out the eagle in the American'
escutcheon, and substitute a buzzard. I
have heard, when I was a boy, that the
eagle was the king of birds; if he is,
how is it that he stoops so low to tear
with his talons an humble Captain, and
is afraid to strike men such as I could
name. Poor eagle, I pity thee; thy acts
are more like those of a buzzard.
OCTOBER 2, 1865.—Again a day has
passed. I am tired and worn out;
whichever way I turn my eyes every
thing looks gloomy and dark. Can it
be possible that, knowing what I do
know, I shall fall a victim? But why
do I doubt? What right Lave I to
grumble, as if it was a thing unheard of
in history that men suffered the death
of a felon as innocent of the crimes al
leged as I am; and if I dare to make a
comparison between our Saviour and
myself, did not He also suffer death?
True, He died as an atonement for
a sinful world; true, He died wil
lingly ; He had a holy mission to ful
fill; but I? Why should I die? I can
only say, because it is God's will. Oh,
God! our Heavenly Father, - give me
the grace, give me thepowerto bear the
cross which Thou seest fit to lay on me:
Have I not often sinned against Thee,
and neglected Thy holy e immandments?
If I suffer now innocently, can I dare
I say, I never offended Thee? There
fore, be cairn, my poor heart. Give
thyself into His hands and say Abba!
Father!
OcroBER 3, 1865.—What a mockery
is this trial. I feel at times as if I
ought to speak out aloud and tell them
why do you wrong yourself and me
too? Why not end the game at once?
Take me and hang me, and be done
with it. A few days I asked to arrange
my defense: it was refused on the
ground that I had ample time. Ample
time indeed ! May the day be far dis
tant for Gen. Wallace when he may
plead with grim death for a day, and
receives the answer, No! I just received
a note from my wife, allying she has
tried in every way to see me, but im
possible. She says she is going to he,
mother in Kentucky, and hopes to be
able to do more for me there than in re
maining here. Poor, deluded woman,
what do you expect to accomplish,
what can you do for me but pray? Oh,
what a consolation is it to a person in a
situation like mine, that there is in the
wide, wide world at least one being that
will pray for me. Yes, pray, but pray
for thyself; the road thou hast to travel
is a hard one ; when thou findest out
that when thou pressed my hand two
weeks ago, when thy lips touched mine,
it was in all probability the last time,
then dost thou need all the comfort
prayer can give. May God bless you,
and take care of you and the dear, dear
children. I must end. Everything
swims before eyes. God, oh, God - have
mercy upon me.
OCTOBER 4, I`36s.—What• a mockery
this trial is. They say that they are
anxious that I should have justice done
to me, and then when a witness is put
on the stand to give testimony they try
everything to break him down ; if they
cannot do it they try to assail his pri
vate character. When they had their
own witnesses up, they not alone were
allowed to state every th i ng I said, every
thing I done, but even what they heard
others say that I had said so and so,
done such and such things, and now,
when I wish to prove by my witnesses
what I also said and done, it is said it is
inadmissible. I just as well might be
put on the stand myself, as if I had said
those things now and not a year ago,
when I had no idea that should be
held to account hereafter. But so the
world goes, and all I can say is, Oh,
God, give me strength to bear with pa
tience and humility what Thou seest fit
to put on me. Be Thou my judge.
OCTOBER 5, 1565.—When I left the
court-room to-day, I heard a lady re
mark : I wish I could shoot out his
eyes," meaning me. Foolish woman !
The time will come when my earthly
eyes are shut up ; are you in such a
hurry? But it is very natural that
people do think and pass such remarks.
For weeks and weeks they have heard
men testify to cruelties done by me,
and now a very slim chance have I to
contradict these statements. It seems
to me as if Gen. Wallace had a personal
spite against me or my counsel, or he
would not act the way he does. If he
has one against Inc, I pity him that he
has not more magnanimity of soul than
to crush/me in such an unheard of ar
bitrary way ; if he has a spite against
my counsel, it is a cowardly act to do as
he does, for in the end lam the sufferer,
and not my counsel.
°UMBER B,lB6s.—Another day passed.
I wish the trial was over. I wonder
what unheard-of resolutions the Court
will pass again to-morrow. I did not
feel it so keenly to day as I felt it other
days, and I have to thank God for it in
permitting me to partake of the Holy
Communion this morning. I feel less
contempt for those who are sitting in
judgement over me. If it is God's will
to open their eyes and hearts. He alone
has the power to do it. I am certain
that none of the Court, nor the Judge-
Advocate, considers and believes me
guilty. They all know that the whole
thing is a farce. Cruelties have been coin
mitted at Anderson ville ; someone has to
suffer for it; they have me; therefore,
I am the one, voila tout. Talk about the
Roman Catholic institution of Inquisi
tion. What is the difference ? There
they forced an innocent man to confess
crimes he never committed ; here they
bring witnesses against him who swear
downright lies, and when he tries to
defend himself, lie is curtailed as much
as possible in his privilege to do so. If
anything, I prefer the first ; there, at
least, ie was plain that the object was
to punish a roan ; here the object is the
same, only a thin veil drawn over it, so
thin, so airy, that all who wish to see
can see through it.

A HAN OF A THOUSAND.
A CONSUMPTIVE CURED.
Dr. H. James, a retired 'physician of great
eminence, discovered, while in the East Indies
a certain cure for Consumption, Asthma.
Bronchitis, Coughs Colds, and General Debility
The remedy was discovered .by him when his
only child, a daughter, was given up to die.
His child was cured, and is now alive and well,
Desirous of benefiting his fellow mortals, he
will send to those who wish it the receipt, con
taining full directions for making and success
fully using this remedy, free,:on receipt of their
names, with two stamps to pay expenses.
There is not a single symptom of Consumption
that it does not at once take hold of and dissi
pate. Night sweats, peevishness, irritation of
the nerves, failure of memory, difficult ex
pectoration, sharp pains in the lungs, sore
throat, chilly sensations, nausea at the stomach
inaction of the bowels, wasting away of the
muscles.

the lungs, and through them carried ipto the
blood, expelling all impurities from the sys
tem and healing any and every disease with

this method finis been attended with the best
results ; its action upon the lungs being direct

up as incurable, who have only to breathe oxy
gen to have new life Infused into them. This
is a compound medicated inhalation. It is
perfectly harmless, having been administered
to thousands of patients with the happiest re
sults. Thee inhalations are unlike any other
ever given for remedial purposes, and can be
obtained only at the offices which we have es
tablished Su various parts of the country. An
office will be established in every city in the
State.
