    ADVENTURES OF A UNION SPY.
[From the Cbicago Journal. j
Quite accidentally, yesterday, a lady friend
Called our attention to an invalid occupying a
room at the Soldiers' Home. We called upon him
this morning and found him philosophizing hope
fully upon military movements and changes. A
portion of his narrative was sointeresting teat we
Will endeavor to reproduce it for the entertainment
of our readers.
"My name is Joshua W. Wood. lam twenty
four years of age, and a native of Philadelphia. I
enlisted in the 13th Illinois Infantry, Col. John B.
Wyman, in April, 1861. After participat ng, with
My regiment, in the action at Camp Jeaamon, Mis
souri, and the brittle of Pea Ridge, I entered the
Secret service.
"In order to ascertain the political status of the
Indian tribes, L was despatched to the Inema ren
dezvone, about one hundred miles from our out
posts. I succeessfully played the rebel, and re
turned in one month with the desire. information.
fly second trip was up the St. Francis river, sad
Vas devoid of sensations. 'The details of my third
trip are yet fresh in my memory. In my state
ment of facts, you will discover the reason
".1. had proceeded without tlifficul,y to Fayette-
Ville, Ark., when I was recognized by a rebel who
knew me and was aware of my vocation. He ap
prised General Hindman of my pres-nce, who
immediately ported a - chain picket to capture me.
carefully selecting my line of retreat, a negro was
despatched-from a plantation residence to iniorm
me that I was upon the wrong road, and I was
requested to dismount and tarry. I knew this
advice could only emanate from a friend,
Jisaaeteao complied. The planter shook my_
hancereartuy,
ene route for me to escaßltiettlai-Cl-e7„AI, bas
Miles distant being the key thereto. He accompa
stied me thus far, and wished me success. I rode
twenty miles as soon as possible. Here, in the
'name of the Southern Confederacy, I demanded
from a planter a fine bay horse, which he pos
sessed. Thus was willingly exchanged for my
exhausted gray, and I gave my rich black whis
kers a hasty burial in the mud. Another ride o
twenty miles brought me to a aospitable mansion,
where I stopped for the night.
"I was thoroughly conscious of the fact that a
detachment of rebel cavalry was in pursuit, and
an hour had scarcely elapsed ere they arrived at my
resting-place. Stimulated by excitement and
maddened by _my escape, they hastily asked infor
mation relative to a Yankee spy with heavy black
whiskers and a gray horse. My host was so deeply
exercised by their incoherent questions mat he en
tirely forgot his guest. They informed him of my
escape, audatated that the negroes owned by my
benefactor near the gap had confessed, under pain
of summary execution, that their master had aided
MP to evade their hospitality, whereupon he was
shot at once. Receiving the answer that a nom
men had passed in great baste that afternoon, they
spurred forward—first stating what roads bad been
guarded against my ultimate escape.
This reliable information relative to my pur
seers was quite refreshing to me. I started on
ward after breakfast, but missed my intended
route and came upon an ambush where about
thirty rebels were in waiting. I dashed past them
at lightning speed. receiving no injuries either
from their bullets or curses.' They pursued me,
with no success. I reached Helena, St. Francis,
and .t h.st Little Rock, in safety.
"Here was inaugurated a distinct era in ray his
tory. 1 was immediately captured by the lath_
Texas, having been recognized by one of the mem
bers of that regiment. I was handcuffed, placed
in a dungeon in the jail where I could not stand
erect, and led upon bread and water. After an
imprisonment df three months-1 was court-mar
tialed as a Yankee spy. Not appreciating my de
•votion to the Yankee cause, the court sentenced
Me to be hung. General Hindman approved me
;sentence . , and gave me Bye days to prepare for ex
ecution
"On October 13, 1863, the scaffold was in readi
ness in the State House yard. Nearly fifteen thou
sand citizens were collected to witness my dying
agonies, and the military were formed in hollow
square around my apparent death-bed. I was so
weak that 1 could not walk to the scaffold, and
Was accordingly conveyed thither upon a dray. I
fancy I sat upon my coffin with the usual grace,
for Ipreferted death to a dungeon. I was helped
upon the scaffold, and the black cap adjusted over
My eyes. Further proceedings would have been
indefinitely postponed by my acceptance of the
oath of allegiance; but I was always national,and
preferred to die thus.
'At this interesting period General Hindman
appeared at - the place of execution. He was ac
companied by General Joe Johnston, who had
;pest arrived to take command of the department.
'The latter was an old acquaintance of my fam
ily,-,and he at once recognized me. He asked my
name and then informed me that 1 was from
Philadelphia. He postponed the ceremonies for
tour days, and ordered that I be conveyed to hie
keadquarters.
"For nearly six hours we had an interesting in
terchange of opinion. He endeavored to ascertain
if I were really a spy, but certain questions of his
remained unanswered. He acknowledged that
slavery was the direct cause of the war, and ap
peared to be dont:Mut of the sasses Alf .sha-na
bellton.
"I was ordered to the jail, where I was placed
in an iron cage and very humanely treated. After
airimprisonment of five days I was released upon
paroTe, with the city limits far my prison walls.
Notwithstanding this leniency, General Johnston
privately stated that be believed me to be a spy.
'Through the influence of the Provost Marshal
at Little Rock, I was allowed to go to Arkansas
Post for the benefit of my health—the finest oppor
tunity to obtain information I could have desired.
On my return I was paroled and allowed to pro
ceed to Memphis. I was exchanged in January
last, but my arduous labors have so impaired my
health that I am yet unfit for duty."
DESTRUCTIVE RAIN STORM IN VIRGINIA.
[Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.]
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 10,- 1984. —The rain
storm yesterday and last night was the most de.
structive to the railroad of the seas on. The
streams between this place and the Army of the
Potomac, which were already very high, were
swollen beyond all precedent. Old citizens along
the line of the road say that they never before saw
such a flood. The railroad bridges are very
badly damaged, and the communication with
the army by rail has been broken, the train which
left Brandy Station at I:liven minutes to
eight o' clock yesterday being the last train that
has arrived here. The bridge over Bull Run,
near Union Mills, is entirely gone this morning.
This structure was one hundred and fifty feet long
and some thirty. five feet above the bed of the
stream. The bridge was at best but a poor
apology for one. it being of the famous, or rather
infamous Houpt pattern. Its loss is a gabs to the
Government, as anew one is already framed and
ready for raising as soon as. the water subsides.
Colonel Wentz thinks he will be able to eross the
Stream with a train to-morrow.
At Edsall's Station two or three trestles under
the bridge over Cameron run were washed away,
as were also see eral yards of embankment. Be
tween Edsall's and Burke' s Stations several heavy
landslides occurred ; but a large force of laborers
cleared the track, so as to allow the repair train to
pass this forenoon. The bridge over Broad run, at
Bristoe Station, is but slightly injured, and will be
easily repaired, The bridge over Kettle ran,
two miles west of. Bristoe, has moved down
stream about two feet. This structure is about
eighty feet long and sixty feet high, and is an ugly
customer The next damage done was at Cedar
run, where the lower section of trestle was carried
away. This bridge is a trestle-work, two stories
high, and one of the best on the road. The Rappa
hannock bridge is safe as yet, though large quan
tities of driftvrood have accumulated above it, and
great fears , are entertained that it will
have to. succumb to the pressure. Between
Alexandria and Washington the damage has
been slight, and the trains are running regularly,
though a portion of the 'track at this end of the
Long Bridge is under water. The flats on the Vir
ginia side of the Potomac are out of sight, and the
river is slowly receding. The army will not be
inconvenienced by these breaks, as sufficient sup
plies are on hand at the front to subsist it until the
road can be repaired. Colonel Wentz and Major
lereCrickett promise ,that the regular trains shall
run on Tuesday next.
A UNION* ORGANIZATION IN TEXAS.
[Correspondence of the Missouri Democrat.]
Our SMITx, April 6.—A letter, written by 'an
old gentleman in Texas to his son in the army here,
among other items, gives an account of the organi
sation of the Union forces under Henry Boren.
When Gen. Henry McCullough got wind of it he
sent word to Boren to come out from his strong
hold— the Journegon Thicket—and join the rebel
army. Boren told cO. he was doing very well
where he was. McC M ullough sent another order to
Boren to come out, or he would sen dQuantrell or
Parsons after him. Boren told him to go to h-11,
and send Quantrell. He wished no better fun than
to kill that great scoundrel. McCullough then
tried what virtue there was in persuasion, and
Offered a compromise. He agreed with Boren to
let him go to the frontier to fight the Indians, and
not employ him against Federal troops. -He was
to give all Boren's men a furlough for fifteen days
and furnish them with arms and ammunition at
the expiration of the stipulated time. Such great
'umbers or men flocked to Boren that McCullough
began to be alarmed and sent troops out in every
direction to intercept Boren' s men, and all who
were - caught were pressed into the rebel army.
'Those who refused were imprisoned, heavily
ironed, and not a few suffered death. Boren, how
.ever, still has a strong force defying all attempts

The United States - Christian Commission has
seized toeprPgvnt-toutm opportunity of rm.
the Army to extent its work for the good of the
Soldiers.
STATIONS have been multiplied, each with its
chapel and store tents, free writing tables, and
clothing, comforts and reading matter for gra
tuitous distribution.
VOLUNTARY DELEGATES, in numbers
greater than ever before, have been sent to preach
the Gospel at the stations and in regiments, bat.
teries and camps without Chaplains, distribute
reading matter and stores, and labor for the good
of the Soldiers.
A PERMANENT FIELD AGENCY has been
sufficiently extended to establish stations an d
superintend the work.
THE BLESSING OF GOD rests signally on all
parts of the work. Many thousands have been
cheered, benefited and saved. Still a large part
of the Army remains unreached, and 'double the
number, both of stations and delegates, are needed
to meet the urgent demand for them.
The Christian Cominission offers to the people a
perfeetly reliable and wonderfully economical
channel to reach the entire army in all its various
fields. The money given goes in full measure. In
benefits for body and soul, directly to the Soldiers;
and stores also, immediately from the hands of
delegates from home, who add words and deeds of
kit &less to the gifts when bestowed.
Let the peorle give the Money and Stores, mid

The large corps of Delegates now in the field
will serve as a grand ccrps of relief when the
armies shall move and battles be fought, and the
greater their number the more prompt and-effec

Let not the present,_ work languish. Wait not
for the cry of the wounded and dying before pro
