Wc Lavo received a few of the advance
sheets of a work of this title, by Albert
G. lliciiAiiDSON, a correspondent of the
tribune who waa captured in an attempt
to run past the batteries at Vicksburg
when Ge.v. Grant was besciging that
stroughold.. We give below a few char
acteristic extract, which may assist our
readers to form tsome conception, of the
interesting character of the work,-
'On that Sunday evening, half an hour
before dark (the latest, moment at which
the guards could be passed, even by au
thorized person without the countersign),
my friends, Messrs Drown and Davis,
went out to the rebel hospital, beyond
the inner line of sentinels, as if to order
their usual medical supplies for the sick
prisoners. As they passed in and out a
dozen a times a day, and their faces were
quite familiar to the sentinels, they were
uot compelled to ehow their passes, uul
Mr. rownc left his behind with inc." -
A few minutes later, taking with nic a
long bos filled with bottles in which med
ical supplies were usually Drought, and
fiving it to a littie lad who assisted me in
my hospitol duties, I started to follow
them. ,
As ii in great haste, we walked rapid
ly toward the gate, while, leaning against
trees or standing in the hospital ' doors,
half a dozen ot our f riends looked on to
sec how the plan worked. When we
reached the gate, I took the box from the t v t -it
where I was certain to be recognized. I

The lad understanding the matter per-
cetly replied : "Yes, sir; and I at
tempted to pass the sentinel by mere as
surance. I had learned leng before how far a
man u:ay go even in captivity, by sheer
native impudence by moving right
along, without hesitation, with a confident
look, just as if he had a right to go and
no one had any right to question him.
Ouc several occasions, I absolutc'y

the guards severely punished. The sen
tinel stopped'mc with his musket j de
manding: "Have you a pass, sir?
"Certainly, I have a pass," I replied,
with all the indignation I could assume.
"Have you not seen it often enough to
know by this time ?"
Apparently a little confounded, he re
plied modestly :
"Probably I have, but they are very

Cer'i. and Ass't Commandant of Post
We had speculated for a keg time
about my using a spurious pass, and two
comrades prepared several, with a skill
and exactness which lcmonstratcd that,
i f their tab tits had been turned in that
direction, they might have made first-
class forgers, l'ut we finally concluded
that the veritable pass was better, because,
if the guard tad any docbt about it I
could tell him to send it to headquarters
for examination. The answer of course
would be that it was genuine.
But it was not submitted to any -such
inspection. The guard spelled it out
slowly, then folded and returned it to me,
saying : .. .. ,
"That, pass is alhight. I know Cap
tain F aqua's handwriting. Go on, sirj
excuse me, sir, lor detaining you."
I thought him very excusable under
the circumstances, and walked out. My
great fear was that during the half an

Before I listd walked ten steps, I saw,
sauntering to and fro on the picza on the
new headquarters building, a deserter
from our senica named Davidson who
recognized aad : bewed t to( , iqc). , .1
rather thought he would cot bctrcy me,

thought I retognized in bin; that old ill
fortune whiei had so long aud steadily
baffled us. ...
AVhen we met I bade hiui good even

upon the veather, or some other subject
in which I did not feel any very profound
iutcKst' Then lie "passed into headquar

furticr I encountered a third liobel
named uith, who waa entirely familiar
with me, and whose quarters, inside the
garrison, were within twenty feet of Eiy
own. There were not half a dozen Gun
federates about the prison who were fa
miliar with me, but it seemed as if at this
time tney were coming together in a
grand convention. - -

coming of the blessed darkness, I con
stantly expected to see a sergeant, with
a file of rebel soldiers, come to take me
back in the yard: but none came. It
was rare good fortune. Stockton, Smith,
and Davidson all knew if they had their
Wits about them, that I had no more right
there than iu the village itself. - I sup
pose their thoughtfulncss must have been
caused by the peculiarly honest and
business-like look of that medicine-box.
At drk, my two friends joiucd me.
Wc went through the gate in full sight
of the sentinel, who seeing us come from
the hospital, supposed that we were Rebel
i surgeons or nurses. Anil then on that
dark, rainy Sunday night, the first time
for twelve mcnths, wc found our
circs walking freely in a public street
without a rebel bayonet before or be
hind us. 1
. .
So, on that cold night, when wc were
so stiff and exhausted that wo could bare
ly keep our seats on the mules they had
so thoughfully furnished, these friends
conducted us fifteen miles, and left us in
a Union settlement wc were sdeking-
It Tas now five o'clock in the morning.
Lea ring ray companions behind, I tapped
at the door of a log bouse.
.
For many months, even before leaving
prison, we had been familiar with the
name ot Dan Elms a famous Union
guide, who since the beginning of the
war had done nothing but conduce loyal
men to oat lines. :
Ellis is a hero, and his life A romance.
He had taken through, in all more than
four thousand persons. - He had proba
bly seen more adventure -in fights and
races with the Rebels, in long journeys
sometimes bare-footed and through the
snow, . or swimming the rivers full cf
J Coating ice than any other man living.
IT -t il. .
ue never lost out one man, who was
swooped up through his own heedlessness.
The party had travelled eight or ten
days, living on nothing but parched corn.
Dan insisted that a man could walk twen
ty five wiles a day through snow upon
pan ed-coro. just as well as upon any
other diet if he only thought so. I feel
bound to say that I have tried it and
don't think so. This person held the
ssme opinion. " He rovoltcd against the
parehed-corn diet, vowing that he would
go to the first house and get an honest
meal, if he was captured for it. ; He went to
the first house, obtained the meal, and
wis captured. ' ' ' " . - .
After we had traveled fifty, miles, efcr'y
tody said to us, "If you' only find Dan
Ellis, and do just as he tells you, you will
be certain to get through.
' AVc dt'tl frnd Dan Ellis. , On a Sunday
night, one hundred and thirty-four miles
from our lines, greatly broken down, we
j reached a point oa tho road waited r for
I two, tours, rhen alonj-nw Daw Ellis,
with a party of seventy men refugees,
prisoners, Rebel deserters, Union 3oldiers
returning from their homes within the
enemy's lines, and escaped . prisoners. '
About thirty of them were mounted -and
twenty armed.
Like most men of action, Dan was a
person of few words. When our story
had been told to him, he said to his com
rade s: ...
, ' J'oys here eri.ome geutlcffien who
havo escaped from Salisbury, and who
are almost dead from the journey. They
are our, people. They have suffered in
our cause. They arc going to their homes
in our lines. ., We on't.,ride and let
these men wlk. .Get down off yottr
horses and help them p." . ;..
. Down they came,-and tip wo went ; and
then we pressed along at a terrible pace.
' ' ' ; ..- .! ... ,
To-day whttt vre came on the hot track
bi" eight guerrillas, the Rebel-hunting
instinct waxed strong ; ritlun Den, acd,
taking eight ot hts own men, he started
in fierce pursuit. Seven of the enemy
escaped, but one was captured and brought
to our camp a prisoner. ..v
Then Dan went to the ne .rcst Union
koii.se, to learn the news ; for every loyal
family iu a range of many miles knew
and bved him. We, very weary, lav
down to sleep in nn old orchard, with
our saddles tor pillows. Our reflections
were pleasant. We were otly .seventy
nine miles' frohi the Union lines. We
progressed swimmingly, and had even bc-
guq:tr regulate the domestic . affairs of
the border 1 ...,-.- ..
Rcfore midnight soma one shook
my arm. I rubbed my eyed. . open
and looked up. There traa Dan Ellis.
"Boys, we must saddle instantly. .We
have walked right into a" nest of Rebels ;
several hundred are within a few miles ;
eighty arc in this immediate vicinity.
They arc laying :n ambush for Colo
nel Kirk and his men. It is doubtful
whether we can ever get out of this.
We mast diviae into two parties. The
footmen must go to the mountains; we who
are riding, and in much more danger as
hctscs make more noise, and leave so
many traces must press cn at once, if we
ever hope to reach the Union Hues.'
The word was passed in low tones.
Flinging our saddles upon our weary hor
ses, wc were on our way almost instantly.
My place wasjiear the middle of the cav-
al cade. The man just before me waa ri
ding a white horse, which enabled me to
follow him with ease.
We galloped along at lau's usual pace,
with the most sublime indifference to
roads up and down rocky hills, across
streams over fences everywhere but
upon public thoroughfares.
I suppose we had travelled three
miles, when Mr. Davis foil back from the
front, and said to nic :
"That young lady rides well , dots she
not ?',
"What young lady?"
"The young lady who is piloting us."
I had thought Dan Ellis was piloting
us, and rode forward to see about the
young lady.
There she was, sure enough. I could
not scrutinize her face in the darkness,
but it was said to be comely. I could see
that her form was graceful, and the ease
and firmness with which she sat on her
horso would have been a lesson for a
riding-master.
She resided ia the Union house where,
Dan had gene for news. The moment
she learned his name she" volunteered to
pilot hiui out of that neighborhood, where
she was born and bred, and knew every
acre. Tho only accessible horse (one be
longing to a Rebel officer, but just then
kept in her father's barn) was brought.
out and saddled. She mounted, came at
midnight, and was now steadily guiding
us, avoiding farm houses where the Reb-,
els were quartered, going round their
camps, evading their pickets.
She Ice! us for seven miles. Then,
while we remained in the wood, she rode
forward over the long bridge which span
ned the Nolechucky River, to see if there
were iny guards upon it; went to the
frst Union house beyond to learn wheth
er the roads were picketed; came back
tcld us the, coast was clear. Then she
rode by our long line toward her home.
