THE: liElitEl. SPY.
-The other day I met a friend who was for
merly one of the. Red Devils. During the
' conversation which ensued he asked_ me ,
Whether I remembered Bill
serted - the regiment of Fortress Monroe.
"A-slender, dark-eyed young fellow, was
he not ?"
,'"The same," replied' my friend. "We
became chums from the first moment we met
at Port Scluyler ;land if you will give me
your a fevi moments - you shall hear
: hew he came to desert the ristiment, and a
felsoother facts that will surprise you."
,tucky all means," said I, - "let me hear the
story."
•
"Well," began my friend, "one day
were sitting in the shadow of a pine tree
rukir our encamprrient at Fortress. 3lonroe,-
wh4ri my chum commenced to speak of a
beautiful. girl in, the village of Hampton.,!
whcim'he-was in the habit of visiting occa- -
"
, She is a beauty!' he exclaimed, enthu
elastically ; 'and Jack,' he added, laying his
\ hand' upon my arm, 'you -5114/ ga with me
\ to see her."
\ ..tkt first I objected, pleading as an excuse
the modesty and.bashfulpess I - always expe-
AO:teed in the presence of, the fair sex.

"'That's nothing,' answered Bill ; 'we can

' "So at length 'I promised my chum that
1.-would accompany him to the village of
Hampton to see the beantiful quadroon.
"When night came) s and - we started upon
our - nocturnal expedition, we had no diffi
culty-in passing our line s of sentinels; for by
some means or other Bill had succeeded in
obtaining the countersign. '
task, accomplished, we now made
'onr,way to the river beach, and after we had
walked a short distance, my chum passed
near a - rock' that jutted over the Water, and
showed me a small skiff moored beneath its
shadow.' We. were soon seated in the skiff,
which
.11ew swiftly over , the waves before
the , vigorous strokes of our paddles. In- a
few, moments ." we reached the place of our
destination—a small, dilapidated" building
which stood a few yards back - from the spot_
'Where we landed. There was a small arch
way beneath the house, - which ;evidently led
intcr,,the cellar, and it was le: this quarter
that the steps of my chum were directed.—
Passint - through the archway, wefora; our
selves m 'total darkness but Bill Shouted
fOotrie on !' and so. I followed, although I
stumbled several times againSt some empty
casks,. and once came very nearly being pre
eipitated over a. barrel.
"'lt's all right!' shouted ;Bill. "Come
on !"
"'What the deuce tempted 'you to seek an
entrance this way ?" I inquired: "There is
a good stoop on the outside of the house, for
sate it."
"'lt's the shortest route," "answered my
chum. " - Here we are—lere are the cellar
steiii;" , he continued, catching Me by the
arm, puffing me towards him. "We were
soon at. the top of the steps, when Bill knock
ed at a door in front of us. A musical voice
.said :'Come in!' and we entered a . small.
neatly furnished room, in which were seated
an old negress and my friend's quadroon.
The latter was indeed a beautiful crea
ture, with long bright hair that-deseended,
'below her Waist, and eyes as 'dark and soft.
as a summer midnight... She seemed very
glad
,to see us=, Bill in particular, around
whose neck she threw her arms; kissing him
with all the warmth and fervor of her South
ern-nature, while he was not kt all backward
in returning the compliment. The old ne
gress,rose and left the room; and I was just.
coming to the conclUsion that it would be a
good plan for me to do the same, when the
unmistakeable tramp of horses hoofiapproac h
ing at a gallop saluted-my ears and drew me
to the. window. Looking out into the night,-
I caught sight of a number of grey uniformed
horsemen coming towards the home at a pace

moments.
.! The moon, which 'bad -hitherto been ob
scured by clouds, was now skining- brightly,
revealing every outline approaching

"''hero was no ansvier, ar d withoUt

both himself and n quadroon had deserted.

swept through a broketi,znne of: glass and
blew out the , candle, leaving me in 'total
darkness.
" Again I stepped to the window and look ; '
ed out. The horsemen had- halted a few
• ards from the house, "and were dismounting.
Presently I saw three of them advance to
the stoop, .and_heard, the_olattering,
sabres and - the noise l of their heavy boots as
they ascended the steps: - I could also-hear
some of them coming up from: theeellar ; so
there was now left to me but ono way of re
treat from the apartinent, the same by which the ,Old negress had' made - her exit. 'As 'I
passed- through the doorway, I Stumbled
against , the bottom;; of ,a staircase. This
immediately commenced to ascend as noise,
lessly and as swiftly, as possible. Arrivin. ,
at the top, I discovered a docir which I
push
ed-open without ceremony, and found myself
in a small• apartment halfdighted bfthe rays
of a latnp which streamed into . it from an
other room-connected with this one by a door
which had been left open. The murmur of
voices, coming front `the other apartment,
fell upont - my can I looked through the
open doorway; and beheld a sight which-sur
prised me. Seated ''upon a sofa at one end of
the room were three figures. One was my
chum Bill with his arm around the
waist of the quadroon, and her head upon his
shoulder; while' the other was a tall figure
in the uniform of a rebel lieutenantof cavalry.
-" 'So Magruder !doesn't want the village
burnt yet?" remarked Bill, as he stroked his
whiskers. 'There's an excellent opportunity
to do it, if he does;l for the pickets are very
small around Hampton at present.' •
know, that, captain,' answered the
lieutenant, 'but Magruder will-wait until
he sees how long the Yankees are going
to stay: If he scei;a prospect of thc,ir going
into winter' quarters here, you may depend,
dpon it he'll burn the town?'
• '• I shall keep My eyes about me,' said
Bill, 'and report Matters as usual.,
'But when , a,fe you - going to rejoin ns,
captains inquired the rebel.
•' As soon as 'Magruder thinks fit, an
swered Bill, -'though to -tell the truth I'm
about tired - of playing the 'spy. It wlis a
deuced good idea of his—my going to New
York and enlisting in the Fifth Zouaves—
hal hal hal Captain s—, of the rebel set ,
vice, a Red Devil.:;
'24:t that moindnt Bill happened to turn
his head toward the door. Our eyes met
and-he sprang-to his feet with an c7laina- -
tion. At the same moment the lieutenant
rose and drew his sword. , _ -
"You have overheardus?" said Bill. i
"Ay, traitor every word." I answered.;"
"I
"I mighthave foreseen this," said Bill, - in
a tone of chagriti, "but that whiskey of
yours"' he added, turning to the lieutenant,
"made me carelesS."
"He shall not leave this house alive," e:x 7
laimed the Ueuteriant; drawing a pistol from
his belt and pointing it at my head. ,
"But I had picked up a chair as he drew
firth the weapon, land now With the quick
kness of lightning I librled it at his face. ',The
.pistol was discharged, but the contents whiS
4led harmlessly over my: head. I- darted,
from the room, rushed down stairs, and nerv
ing myself for a 'desperate venture, dashed
across the upartarient below, in the direction
of the cellar stairs. The room was filled
with rebel cavalrymen, but my
-sudden ap
pearance-so astounded them that they made
no to arrest my progress. By the
'time Iliad reached the cellar, however. they
had recovered from- their surprise, and as I
;lied onward ^I heard the report of two Or
three carbines • behind me, followed by the
whiz of ballets is they flew past my ears.
The next moment I had passed through the
• archway into the open air, and with two or
three, bounds reached the skiff. Unfortu
nately, by the ebbing of the tide, it was now
high and dry upen,the beach. I seized the
stern With both
,hands and by a great effort
of strength succeeded in launching it. ••But
the time occupied in this manucevre enabled
the feremostof my- puesuers to gain upon me.
With his piece clubbed and elevated on high
to deal me a powerfnl blow, he „came on.
But while he was yet a -few yards distant 'I
stooped and quickly unfastened the rope of
the skiff from the stone lu which it was tied.
'Lifting the heavy:piece of rock, I suddenly
rosonpright and hurled it with all - my force
at the head of my pursuer.
"It struck him on the temple, and he drop
ped to the beach like a log. •
' "The skiff was now drilling away from me;
but I darted into the water, and being an
eseellent'swimrner, soon succeeded in reach
ing it. I Clambered into it, and then looked
toward the beach. Cavalrymen, were drawn
up in line, with; their pieces pointed towards
Inc.
"'Fire!' exclaimed a voice which I recog
nized as'that of:the lieutenant.
"But the sharp report of the carbines rang
u t upon the air, I dropped quickly to the
bottom, of the skiff, • and the storm of. lead
passed over me and flew hissing into the wa
ter beyond.
"I now sprang to my feet, and with a
shout of &Aimee seized the only oar the boat
contained, and adopting the sculling process,
sent the light vessel shooting through the
water like a rocket. Assisted by the tide,
the skiff flew Over the waters so rapidly that
. before the men could reload I was out of
range.
"Half an hoiir afterward I arrived 'isafely
in camp, and Was just in time 'to take my
place in the ranks, for, having heard the
firing, and supposing that,our picket was at
tacked, the bilieers had ordered the men un
der arms. A message from the front, how.
ever, must soup have convinced them that
this wits not' the' Case; and the men were
allowed to ' , break ranks" and disperse to
their quarters)
"Well, Coma" continued my friend, "this
isn't the end of the matter; fur I saw Bill
again at.the battle of Big:Bethel. Yon pro
bably remeniliered that, during, the fight; 'a
troop of rebel cavalry attempted to make a
dash upon us, but were driven back ?"
I . answered 'in the affirmative, and my
•
'friend continued:
"At ;the head of that troop rode Bill or
more properly : speaking, the rebel captain.
I saw him as plainly as I now see you. But
it was Only for an instant. • He tumbled from;
his horse the nest moment, with his head'
torn from his shoulders by a shot from one of
our brass pieces. At his side rode a rebel,l
who upon seeing the 'captain fall, drew
pistol, aimed it' at his own heart and fired.
The horse becothing unmanageable, galloped;
into our lines, dragging:the rebel after him,
the foot of the dead 'soldier having becorrie
entangledin the stirrups'as'he fell. As the
steed.daghell wildly about the field the reb ! , _

GRAPE, CANISTER, SHRAPNEL, AND

•
Grape consists of nine shot arranged in
three layers, which vary in size according to
the calibre of the gun; they are held toXether
by two plates of about one-fourteenth CC an
inch less diameter than the calibre of the
gun, two rings, a bolt, and a nut. The ca
vas bag arrangement is too old for this war;
it is not so simple or durable, and has not
been used for years. Canister fora gun con
tains twenty-seven small cast-iron balls; ar-
ranged in,layers," the top of six, the remain
der of seven each ; for the same 'Calibre you'
will see that the case for canister is a tin
cylinder, closed at the bottom by a thick
cast-iron plate. or a wooden sabot, and at the
top by at sheet-iron plate with a - handle at
tached; the - interstices between the balls are
closely packed with saw dust to prevent
crowding when the piece is fired. • titirapnel
consists of a very thin shell which is filled
with musket halls; the interstices are then
filled by pou'ringin melted sulphur; a hole
is then bored through the mass of sulphur

"shrapne " or "spherical case" and a "shell."'

Peceive from the charge in the guns A shell
is made very much thicker than' the envel
ope of . a shrapnel, and is nearly filled with
powder, and will do great execution if it ex
plodes on the ground, it having destructive
qualities in. itself,. aside from the discharge of
the gun. A shrapnel shell has only half of
the charge of powder that a shell proper has;
thus a twenty-four pound shrapnel contains
twelve musket balls and six. ounces of pow
der. A twenty-four pound shell has twelve
ounces of powder. A sixty pounder shrapnel
has thirty-nine musket balls, and twenty-five
ounces of powder.
