And summer bi tls, in summer woodland singing,
Flood with soft music all the tranquil gloom.

EICHAEDSON'S ESCAPE.
Albert (1 Hichrdsox is about to issue
a uow work called "The Field, the Dungeon,
and the Eseape." It will be m-coliected
that Mr. Hit-hard jon was a correspondent of
the JVeiO York Tribune, and wascapturod in
an attempt to run past t lie rebel Latteries at
Vieksburg, at the time Gen. Grant was be
sieging that then rebel stronghold. The ex
tracts given below, relate to the manner of
niakiug his escape from the reb:l prison at
Salisbury, North Corolina, and will be read
with intercut:
''On that ftiindaj evening, half an hrur
before dark (the ia:e.;t moment atwhich the
guards could be. passed, even by authorized
persons, without the countersign), my
Iriends. MesMs. Browne and Davis, went
out to the llebel hospital, beyond the
inner line of sentinels, as if to order their
u.iuai medical supplies for the tick prison
ers. As they passed ia and out a dozen
times a day, and their faces were quite fa
miliar to the sentinels, they were not com
pelled to show their passes, and Mr. Browne
left his behind, with me.- ;
, A few minutes later, taking with me a
long box filled .with the bottles in which med
ical supplies were usually brought, and giv
ing it to a little lad who assisted me in my
hospital duties, I started to follow them.
As if in grent baste, we walked rapidly
toward the gate, while, leaning ajiaint trees
or standing in the hospital doors, half a doz
en ot our friends looked on to t-ee how
the plan worked. When we reached the
gate, I took the box from the boy. and said
to him, of course for the bei.eSt of tha sen
;ine! :
'"I am going outside, to get t hese bottles
filled. 1 shall be back in about fifteen min
utcs, and want you to remain right here, to
take them and distribute them among the
hospitals. Do not go a. say now."
he lad understanding the matter per
fectly, .replied : '"Yes, sir;" and I attempt
ed to pais the sentinel by mere assurance.
J had learned long before how far a ' man
may go even in,captivity,bv steer native im
p'udence by moving right along, without
hesitation, with a confident look, ju, as if
be had a right to go atid no one had any
right to question him. On several occa
sions, I absolutely saw prisoners, who had
procured citizens' clothes, thus walk past
the cnards in broad daylight, out of Kebcl
prison.
I think T c.v.ild have done it on this occa
sion, but for the fact that it had been tried
successfully two or three times, and the
guards severely punished. The sentinel stop
ped me with his musket, demanding :
"Have yoti a pass, sir?"
''Certainly, I have a pass," I replied,
with all the indignation I could ; assume.
"Have not you seen it often enough to know
by this time?" '.
Apparently a little contounded, he replied
modestly:'
"Probably I have, but they are very strict
with us, and I was not quite sure."
I gave to him this geuuine pass belong
ing to my associate : -Head
quarters 0. S. Military Prison, )
.Salisbury, N. C, Dec. 5, 1864.
Junius 11. Browne, Citizen, has permis
sion to pass the inner gate of the Prison, to
assist in carrying medicines to the Military
Piison Hosoitais, until further orders.
J. A. Faqla,
Capt and Assistant Commandant of Post.
We had speculated for a long time about
ray usiug a spurious pass, and my two com
rades prepared several, with a skill and ex
actness which demonstrated that, if their
talents had been turned in that direction,
they in ght have made first-class forgers.
But we finally concluded that the veritable
pass was better, because, if the guard had
any dou'it about it I could tell him to send it
into head-quarters for examination. The an
swer of course would be that it was genuine.
But it was uot submitted to any such in
spection. The guard spelled it out slowly,
then folded and returned it to me, saying :
"That pass is all right. I know Captain
Faqua's handwriting. Go on, sir; excuse
me. sir, ior ueiainiug
I thought him very excusable under the
circumstances, and walked out. My great
fear was that, during the half hour which
must elapse before 1 could go outside the
garrison, 1 might encounter some Kebel of
ficer or attach who knew me.
Before I had walked ten steps. I sa,
sauntering to and fro on the piazza of the
new head-quarters building, a deserter from
our service named Davidson, who recogniz
ed and bowed to me. I rather, thought he
would not betray me, but was still fearful ot
it. I went on, and a few-yards further,
coming toward ine in that narrow . lane,
where it was impossible to avoid him, 1 saw
the one rebel officer who knew me ; better
than any other who came into mj quarters
frequently Lieutenant Stockton, the postf
adjutant. Observing him in the distance, I
thought I recognized in him that old ill-fortune
which had so long and steadily baffled
us. ,
-- When we met I bade him good eveningj
and conversed for a few minutes upon the
weather, or some other subject, in - which I
did not feel any very profound interest.
Then he passed iuto : head-quarters, and : I
went on. Yet a few yards further I en
countered a third Kebel named Smith, who
was entirely familiar with me, and whose
quarters, inside the garrison, were within
twenty feet of my own. There, were not
half a dozen Confederates about the prison
who were familiar with me, but it seemed
as if at this time they were coming together
iu a grand convention.
, .Not daring to enter the llebel hospital,
where I was certain to be recognized, I laid
down iH3' box of medicines, and sought
shelter in a little out-building. , While I re
mained there, waiting for the coming of
the blessed darkuess, I constantly expected
to see a sergeaut, with a tile of rebel soldiers,
come to take me back into the yard ; . but
none came. It was rare good fortune.
Stockton. Smith, and Davidson all knew if
thev had their wits about them, that I, had
no more right there than in the . village it
self I suppose their thoughtlessness must
have been caused by the peculiarly honest
and business-like look of that medicine-box.
At dark, my two friends joined me. We
went through the gate in full sight of the
sentinel, who, seeing us come from the hos
pital, supposed we were Rebel surgeons or
nurses. And then, on thatdark, rainy San
day night, the first time for twenty months,
we found ourselves walkingfreely in apublic
street, without a rebel bayonet before or be
hind us.
So, on that cold night, when we were
so stiff and exhausted that we could barely
keep our seats on the mules they had so
thoughtfully furnished, those friends con
ducted us fifteen miles, and left us in a Union
settlement we were seeking.
It was now five o'clock in the morning.
Leaving my companions behind, I tapped
at the door of a log-house.
. - . . . i
. For many months, even before leaving
prison, we bad been familiar with the name
of Dan Ellis a famous Union guide, who
sinse the beginning of ti e war, had done
nothing but conduct loyal men to our lines.
Ellis is a hero, and his life a romance.
lie had taken through, in all, more, th ?n
four thousand persons. He had probably
seen more adventure in tights and races
with the Rebels, n lor g jmrneys, sometimes
bare-footed and through the snow, or swim
ming the riversfull of floatingice than any
oth -r man living.
lie never lost but . one man. who was
swooped up trough his own : heedlessness.
The party had travelled eight or ten days,
living on nothing but parched-corn. Dan
insisted that a man could walk twenty five
miles a day through snow upon parched-corn
ju-st 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 same opinion. He revolted
against the parched-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 houes, obtained the meal,
and was captured.
After we had traveled fifty miles, every
body said to us, "If you can only find Dan
Ellis, and do just as he tells you, you will be
certain to tret through." .
Vie did find Dan Ellis. On a Sunday
night, one bundled and thirty-four miles
from our lines, greatly; broken down, we
reached a point n the road, waited for two
hours, when along came Dan Ellis, with a
party of seventy men refugees, prisoners,
llebel deserters, Union . soldiers 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, Dar was a per
son of few words. When our story had
been told to him, he said to his comrades ;
"Boys, here are some gentleman who have
escaped from Salisbury, and who are almost
dead from the journey. They are our jeo
ple. They have suffered in our cause. They
are going to their homes in our lines. We
can't ride and let these men walk. Get
down off your horses and help them up."
Down they came, and up we went; and
then we pressed along at a terrible pace.
'
: To-day when we came on the hot track of
eight guerrillas, the Rebel-hunting instinct
waxed strong within Dan, and, taking eight
of his own men, he started in fierce pursuit.
S(rpn of tbn enemv escaDed. but one was
captured and brought to our camp a prison- i
er. !
Then Dan went to the nearest Union i
house, to learn the news ; for every loyal j
family in a ranee of many miles knew and
loved him. We, v ry weary, lay down to
sleep in an old orchard, with our saddles for
pil ows. Our reflections were pleasant. e j
were only seventy-nine nnles tromthe Union
lines. We progressed swimmingly, and had
even begun to regulate the domestic affairs
of i he border ! r
Before midnight some one shook my arm.'
I rubbed my eyes open andljoked up. There
was Dan Eiiis. tit
"Rn we. must saddle instantly. We
have walked right in to a nest of Rebels ; sev- :
eral hundred are within a few miles; eighty
are in this immediate vicinity They are j
layin" in ambush for Colonel Kirk and his
men. It is doubtful whether we can ever get
out of this. We must divide into two par
ties. The footmen must take to thetnoun- f
tains; we who are riding, and in much more
dangei- as horses make more noise, and
leave so many traces must press on at once,
if we ever hope to reach the union lines.
The word was passed in low tones. , Fling-1
ing our saddles upon our weary. horses, we j
were on our way almost instantly. My
! lace was near the middle of the cavalcade.
; The man just before me was riding a white
horse, which enabled me to follow him with
ease.
'-. Vre galloped along at Dan's usual pace,
with the most sublime indifference to roads
up and dowu rocky hills, across . streams,
over fences everywhere but upon public
thoroughfares.- . .' '. -
: I suppose we had travelled three miles,
when Mr. Davis fell back from the front,
and said to me:
"That young lady rides well ; does she
not?"
. "What young lady?" ...
"Tne young lady who is piloting ns."
I had thaught Dan Ellis was piloting us,
and rode forward to see about the young lady-There
she was, surely enough I could
not scrutanize her face in the darkness, but
it was fcaid to be couiery. I could see that
her form was graceful, aud the ease aud
firmuess with which she sat her horse would
have been a lesson for a riding-master.
She resided at the Union house, where
Dan had gone for news. The moment she
learned his need, she volunteered to pilot
him out of that neighborhood, where she
was born and bred, and knew ever yacre.
The only accessible horse (one belonging to a
Rebel officer, but just then Leptin her father's
barn) was brought out and saddled. She
mounted, came to our camp at midnight,
and was now stealthily guidiiig us, avoiding
farm-houses where the Rebels were quar
tered, going round their camps, evading
their pickets.
,, She led us for seven miles. Then, while
we remained in the wood, she rode forward
over the lone bridge which spanned the
olechuckv River, to see if there were any
guards upon it ; went to the first Union
house beyond to Jearn whether the roads
were picketed ; came back, and told us the
coast was clear. Then she rode by our long
line toward her home. We should have
given her three rousing cheers, had it been
safe to cheer. I hope the time is not far
distant when her name may be made pub
lic." Until the Rebel guerrillas are driven
from out their hiding-places near her moun
tain home, it will not be prudenL"
-. "The Field, the Dungeon and the Es
cape," will abound in stirring events never
before given to the public.
In view of the author's material, his well
known trust-worthiness, and graphic de
Kci iptive powers, the publishers feel justified
in predicting a work'of unusual interest, con
taining more of the Fact, Incident, and Ro
mance of the war, than any other that has
yet appeared.

The present wife of the arch traitor, Jeff.
Davis, who has been captured with him, is
his second wife, the daughter of Gen. Tay
lor having died many years since. Mrs.
Davis'maiden name was Verina Howell. She
is said to be a erand daughter of Gov. How
ell, of New Jersey. She is still a young
woman, with a family, we believe of four
children. .
Material for the history of the rebelion
will not be wanting. A dispatch trom New
bern states that eleven tons of documents
belongine to the Confederacy arrived there
from Raleigh on the 17th. and were forward
ed, under guard, to Washington.
Henry A. Wise now claims! to have been
a strenuous Union man, and only took up
arms when forced to do so by the North to
protect Southern rights! This certainty
caps che climax of rebel impudence.
In order to gather into the French ceme
tery, at Sebastopol, the remains of all the
French soldiers who are buried beneath the
walls of that city, it will be necessary to dis
inter 48,000 bodies.
It is said that ex-Governor Wise chafes a
good deal and even foams at the month,
because his house is used by old John
Brown's daughter as a school house for
teaching little niggers. '
When Jeff. Davis was captured he niay
be said to have embodied all that remained
of the once arrogant Southern Confederacy.
He was the body-politic, and his wife's dress
formed the outskirts.
Two rebel rams and thirteen steamers
have been cartui-d in the Tombigbee river,
Alabama. They were taken there after the
evacuation of Mobile.
Jeff. Davis was captured disguised as a
woman ! Jeff, was never a very good look
ing man, but it appears his wife's dress made
him captivating.
We have heard a great deal about "petti
coat government," b'lt not until Jeff. Davis
was heard from recently did we appreciate
what it meant
Maj. Gen. Terry has been rewarded with
the honor of a brigadiership in the regular
army, being the only volunteer thus distin
guished. '
The rebel General Lee a id his family are
now living in Richmond on government ra
tions, regularly served out to them.
"Once more into the breeches, my boys VJ
as Jeff, said when requested to take off his
wife's dress and put on his own. .

Securing a Housekeeper for Life.
The Hartford Courant tells a story of
farmer near that place, who lost his wife a
bout seven weeks since, and was left with
six children to provide for. He washed,
dressed and fed them and attended to their
wants seven weeks, when he concluded that
it was too much work for one man, and start
ed to the city to find a housekeeper. ; After
a long and unsuccessful search he was refer
red to a young woman who would be suita
ble for the place. She was called on, and
after hearing the farmers statement, replied
that she had no objection to do the house
work of his establishment, or attend and
here she hesitated slightly provided she
went as his iclfe ! The reply was a poser, but
the remembrance of six faces to wash, six
heads to comb and pants and petticoats for
six to mend, settled the matter. A Justice
was called in, and the farmer went horn
with his '.'housekeeper."
Tue Irish Exodcs to this Cottntbt. -A
Cork paper says that emigration has com
menced again more actively than was ex-,
pected. The Erin, of the National Line,
took away 850 persons from Quccnstcwn on
the 26th ; the Inman steamer 450 on the 27,
and over 300 could not be accommodated,
were left behind. The Inman steamers ara
fully engaged up to the middle of May, ev
ery berth having been taken a week ago.
A correspondent in the county of Kerry states
that the emigration from Ireland this year
is likely to exceed that of any past year since
the famine. The persons leaving the coun
try are all young and able-bodied, and com
fortably clad. -
The Easiest Way to Pull STUMT3.-r-Mr.
Carpenter, in reply to an inquiry, said
that he had tried several plans for getting
rid of stumps and the one he found the
cheapest and most satisfactory is to let the
tree pull its own stump at the time it is fel
led. Instead of chopping off the tree above
the surface, the ground is dug away, and
two or three of the principal roots are cut
off at sufficient depth to escape the plow;
then the first moderate wind blows the tree
over, stump and all. I think the expense
is no greater than that of chopping the
tree in the usual way, and I get an increase
yield of wood.
Rebel Diabolism. Wm. P. Ripley,
Esq., of Rutland, Vt, has in his possession
an ingeniously contrived torpedo, made to
exactly resemble a large lump of coal. This
was the artful contrivance employed with so
much success by the ' rebels in blowing up
our transport on the Mississippi, and it is
suspected that the awful disaster to the Sul
tana was accomplished by one of these dia
bolical things. The one in possession of '
Mr. Ripley was sent to him from Richmond
by his son. Brevet Brigadier General E. H,
Ripley, and was found in the private cabi
net of Jefferson Davis after his flight from
the city. ' ' :
A drunken soldier, in the army in India
having been lately confined in the blackhole
for intoxication, felt something crawling o
ver him. Knowing it to be a serpent, and
fearing its deadly bite, kept quite 6till, while
the reptile crawled inside of his jacket and
coiled himself up for a nap. When the guard
came to release him some hours after, a snake
a cobra quickly glided away. The guard
noticed with , surprise, that the prisoner's
hair 1 ad turned white, and he died a few
hours after telling his story.
