Ever Since the road was laid, I'Ve traveled over it eve ry day, or nearly every day of my life. Per a gocid while I've had the+ same epgine in charge—the San Fransisco— the nrettiest engine on the road, and as wellhnanaged, if I say it, as the best. IL 'was a southwestern road, running we Will say from A. , to RI At A. my good old mother lives ; at IL I had the sweetest little wife under the sun, and a baby ;'iind :had always a dollar or two put by for a rainy day. "was an odd kind of a man. Being shut up in the engine, watching with all eyes and heart and soul inside and out, don't :make a:man talkative, - My wife's name was Josephine, and I called her Jo. Some people called me unsocial, and couldn't understand how a man could feel friendly without say ing ten, words an hour.: So.tho' I had a few figendsi-dear.ones.tool-I had not as many acquaintances as most people, and did not care to have. The house that. held my wife and babies *as the dearest place on earth to me, except:the other house that held . my minter at A.

He often rode melt . again with :to., Sfftrorice sad: " Yon ought 'belong title thilbrGueldon.!' "Never heard of it," said I. " I am a member," : ; said he.. " We meet Once a fortnight, and have a jolly good time. We want' thinking . men like you. ',We have some amongst us now. Propose you if youdike." I was fond of such things, and I had an idea that I might by worth some thing. But .then, an :.ngineer don't have nights or days to himself, and the club would take one evening . from To, I saiAl. " ask her. If she likes it, yes." " Ask whom ?"'said he. ".Jo," said . l. " every man had asked his wife, every man's wife would have said, can't spare you, my anti we should have had no club' at all," said Granby. • ,)But f Made no answer. At home I told Jo. She said : " I shall' miss you, Ned ; but you do love such things,:and thenlf Mr. Gran by belongs, they must be superior men." " No doubt," said I. "It isn't eyaiybacly who could be made a mem ber," , :said :Jo. "Why of course . ;,•01l Must say yes." So 1 - said yes, an'd ,;Gran by proposed me. Thursday fortnight I went with him to the rooms. There were some men with brains, and smile :without.— The real business , of. the evening was' 'the supper, and so itas w: 'i3very ,even ing. • ' I'd alWays been a temperate man. I actually did not know what effect wine would have upon me ; but coming to drink more of it than I ever had before at the club table, I found it put steam on. After'so many glasses I wanted to talk ; after so many more I did. It seemed like . .somebody else, the words were so ready. My little ideas came out and were listened to. I made sharp hits ; I indulged in repartee ; told stories ; even came to puns. I heard somebody say to Granby : "By George, that's a man worth knowing.— I thought him dull at first." Yet I knew it was better. to be quiet Ned Gueldon, with his ten words an hour,- than the wine made wit:l was. I was sure of it when three hours af ter I stumbled up stairs at home to find waiting forme With her babe on her breast. • -. " You've been deceiving me," said To. "I've'suspected it, but wasn't sure. A scientific club couldn't smell like a bar room." Which means I do," said I, waving in:the middle-of the room like a signal flag, at a station, and seeing two Jo's. And look like one," said Jo, and She went'and . locked herself and the baby in the spare•bed-room. One c,ald night, as I dressed to go, Jo :stood bilfore me. • "Ned," she said, "I never had a fault to*d with you 'before; I'll say that. ou've been good and kind, and loving, always ; but I should be sorry we eveirmet if you were to go on this' way. Don't ask me what r mean. You know." " JO," " 'tis only on ant) night." .t! It, will grow,"' said she. Whini - she• - put her arm around my neck. "Ned-,?' said: she, 1 ` do you think a thing so much like a bottled r up and strapped-down demon as steam is, is lit to be put in the hands of a drunken man `4 And some day, mark my words, the time will come when. not only Thursday night but all the days of the week will bi3' the same. I've often heard you wonder what the feelings of an engineer who has about the same as murdered a train-full of people mustbe, and .you'll know if you don't atop 'where you tire: A steady hand and a clear head have been yo r blessings* all these years. Don't throw them .away, Ned. If you don't care for my love, don't ruin yotirself." • My little Jo!, She spoke from her heart., and I bent over and kissed her. Don't be afraid, child," , I said, pain you again." BY A. W. ,FIELDER And If meant it ; but at twelve that night I felt that I had forgotten the promise and my resolution. I couldn't go home to Jo. I made up tiny mind to sleep on the club sofa and leave the place for good next day. Al ready I felt my brain reel as it never had :iefore. In an hour I was in a kind Of a stupr. It was morning. A waiter_ stood ready to brush my coat. I saw a grin on his black face. My head seemed about to burst ; my hand trembled ; looked, at my watch ; I had only live minutes to reach the depot. Jo's words came to my mind. Was I lit to take charge of the engine? I was not tit to ansWer,'l ought to have asked fipple sober man. As it was I only caught my bat and rushed, away. I Was:just in time. The San Francisco glittered in the morning sun. The cars were,filling rapidly. From my post I coul hear the people talking—bidding each other good-bye, promising to write and come again. Amongst them was an old gen , - tleman.l knew by sight—one of the shareholders ; he was bidding two tim 7 id girls adieu. " good-bye, Kitty—good-bye, Lou," I lie rd him say : " don't be nervous.— The,Sain Francisco is the safest engine in the line, Gueldon the most careful ogineer. I wouldn't be afraid to trust every mortal I love to their keeping.— Nothing could happen wrong with, the togetheir." I said, " I'll got through it somehow, and Jo shall never talk to me again."— After all it was easy enough. 1. reeled. as I spoke. I heard the signal. We .were off. Five hours from L. to D. ; five hours back. I saw a red flutter, and never guessed what it was until we passed the down train at a wrong place. Two minutes more and we should have had a collision. Somebody told me. I laughed. I heard him say, respectful ly, "Of course, Mr. Gueldou you know what you are about ?I' Then I was alone and wondering whetherl should run faster or slower. I did something, the cars rushed on at a fearful rate. Thq same man wbo had spoken to me btifore was standing near to me. I heard some questions. How many miles en hour were we making? . 1 didn't know. Rattle, rattle, rattle ! L was trying now to slacken the speed of the San Francisco. I could not remember what I should do. Was it this, or that! Faster—only faster : I was playing with the engine like a child. Suddenly there was a horrible roar— a crasL ; I was flung somewhere. It was in the water. By a miracle I was only sobered not hurt, I gained the shore stood upon the ground between the track i and the river's edge, and there gazed at my own work. The engine was in fragments, the cars wire in splinters ; dead and dying and twounded were strewn around— men; women and children—old age and tender youth. There were groans and shrieks of pain ; the unwounded be wailed their dead, and a voice unheard by any other, whispered in my ear, " murderer I', The news had gone back to A., and people, came thronging down to find their friends. The dead were,stretched on the grass. I went with some of the distracteuLto find their lost ones,: peat - wing tor au old man's daughter, I came to Ulla, f , ifific h no tt _a ; ,hrg.md five bodies ly ng ror—at. ”iti woman and young one, a babe and two tiny children. It was fancy—it was pure fancy, born of My anguish—Oh I great Heaven—they ) were my ld mother, my wife, my chil dren, all old and dead. How d d they come on this train ? What eh nee had brought this about ? No one !ould answer. 1 - groaned, I screamed, I clasped my hands, I tore my hair, I gazed on the good old face of her who had given me - birth, on the lovely features of my wife, on, my in nocent children. I called them by name. There was no answer—there never could be—never would be. And as I comprehended thi4, onthird up the track thundered another train. Its red eye glared upon me ; I fluilg myself before it ; felt it crush me to atoms I " His head is extremely hot," said sometody. I opened my eyes and saw my w:fe. " llow do you feel ?" she said, " a little better ?" I was so rejoiced and BO astonisthed_by the sight of her, that I could not speak at first. She repeated the question : I must be crushed to pieces, I said, for the train weft over me ; but I feel no pm." "There he weft about the train again" said my wife. "Why, Ned." I tried to move—there was nothing the mitten with me ; I sat up. I was in my own room ; opposite me a crib in whic!l two children were asleep ; be side ine was a tkny bald baby head.— My 'wife and children were safe ! Was I delirious, or could it be—? " Jo," said li , " tell me (what has happened." f "It's nine o'elock," said Jo. " You came home in such a dreadful state from the club that I couldn't Wake you. You weren't fit to manage steam and risk people's lives. T he San Francisco is half-way to A.; .I suppose, and you hale been frightening me to death with your dreadful talk." And Jo began to cry. It was a dream—only an awful dream. But I had lived through it as though it were a reality. Is th , ,re a bible in the house, Jo said I. "Are we heathens 'P.' asked Jo. Bile brought It, and I put my hand upon it, and took an oath (too solemn to be repeated here) that what had happened never should occur again.— It never has.

' TRAVELING STONES—They ha VC walking stones in Australia and, as we are informed, they have traveling stones iu Nevada State. Mr. Hart, from Panranagat, has shown the editor of the Virginia City Enterprise several pebbles, Il tat all curious in appear ance, but rather curious in action.— Hero is a c escription : They were• almost perfectly round, the majority of them as large as a wal nut, and of an irony nature. When distributed about upon the floor, table, or other level surface, within two or three feet of each other, they immedi ately began traveling toward a common center, and there huddled up in a bunch like a lot of eggs in a nest. A single stone removed to a distance' of three and a half feet, upon being released at once started off with wonderful and somewhat comical celerity to rejoin its fellows ; . taken away four or five feet it remains• 'Motionless. Mr. Hart says they are found in a region of country that, although comparatively level, is nothing but bare rock. Scattered over this barren region are little basins, from a few feet to a rod or two in diameter, and it h in the bottom of these that the rolling' stones are found. They are from the size of k a pea to five and six inches in diameter. The cause of these stones rolling together is doubtless to be found in the material of which they are composed, which appears to be loadstone or magnetic iron ore, NO- (2 CARTER SPEECH OF UEN BEAL FORREST OF FORT PILLOW. The Memphis Avalanche publishes the, following report of a speech made in Brownsville, Tennessee, last week, by,,Ueneral Forrest, who massacred the negroes of Fort Pillow. The numerous assassinations by the Kiiklux Klan has rendered the calling out of the militia necessary for the protection of all loyal citizens, black and white. In ease these amusements should be interfered with by the Governor and Legislature, "General Forrest and his associate gen erals thrlaten war and "no quarter:" Mr. President and Fellow-Citizens—l did not think that I would be called upon to address you at this time, as it was intended, and, I believe, expected that I would speak 'to you to-night.. I have been laboring under sickness for a few days, and have besuffering from a sore throat, so-that at the present time I will be only able to s y a few-words to you. Last week 1 received a dis li patch from Generals CI eatham, BreWn, gnarls and others to the effect that I was wanted in Nashville in regard to sonic important business in connection with the calling out of the militia, and when I received that dispatch, 'started at once. When I arrived in Nashville, I found fifteen Confederate generals engaged in. a conference with about thirty leading citizens. Great fears had been expressed about the calling out of the militia, as many were of the opin ion that it. would lead to bloodsheiVf a Very serious character. Governor Brownlow had stated in his message to the Legislature that all who belonged to the Kuklux Klan were to be declared outlaws, and he gave out, and declared that these Klaus were composed of sol diers who had been in the Confederate army. I believe that Governor Brown low thinks that all Confederatesoldicrs, and, in fact the wholeDemocratie party in the South belong to the guklux . Clan—[Cheers Auld laughter.] All are declared outlaws; for the governor says that he has no doubt they belong to the klan, if there is such a clan. TheLegis-, lature has passed some laws, I believ, on this subject, in which the militia are called on to shoot down all the Ku kluxes they may find, and they need fear no prosecution for doing so. That is, simply, that they may call a Con federate soldier a Kuklux, shoot him down, and no harm should befal any of the militia who may commit such an outrageous net ; for Governor Brow i i low has proclaimed that they were all out laws. [Applause.] When this is done. I tell you, fellow-citizens,‘ that there will be civil war. If the Radical Leg islature, with Governor Brownlow, arms the negroes, and tells them to shoot down all Confederate soldiers, -on the ground that they arc members of the Kuklux Klan, as they call it, and out laws, then, in my opinion, there will be a civil war in Tennessee [Applause.] It is not otrr policy to get intoanother civil war, or i war of any kind at the present time, as it would housed against us and Weaken our cause in the North, and I halve• advised every Confederate soldier whom I have met lately to do all in his power to prevent war of any kind taking place in Tennessee. [As there was a very large crowd in the court house square, Gen. Forrest was requested.to go outside and contin ue his speech, as all were very 'anxious taillelLAM.,,,#?,,,neST9//MIY did so, closed.] " Gen. Forrest .continued his remarks by saying : I received a letter from Gen. S. R. Anderson, of Nashville, a few days ago, and he stated to me in that letter that ho considered the _action of Gov. Browniow, in relation to the Militia, a declaration of war if the militia. were called out under liis proc lamation. This is also my opinion. l can assure you, fellow-citizens, that I, for one, do not want any more war. I have seen it in all its phases, and be lieve'me when I say so, that I don't want to she any more bloodshed, nor do I want to see negroes armed to shoot down white men. If they bring this war upon us, there is one thing 1 will tell you—that I shall not shoot any negroes so long as I can see a white Radical to shoot, for it is the Radicals who will be to blame for bringing on this war.- 1 can assure you, fellow-citizens, that I shall at all times be ready to go for ward and assist the sheriffor any other officer in carrying out the laws of the State, and in order to 'assist him tho roughly, I will get as many of my oil! soldiers as possible to go with I Ile. But if they send the black men to hunt those Confederate soldiers whom they 'call Kuklux, then 1 will say to you, "Go out and shoot the Radicals." If they do want to inaugurate a civil war, the sooner it comes the better, that we may know what to do. [Applause.] I do not wish it understood that I um inciting you to war, for, as I told you before, I have seen all the war ainl all the bloodshed'l want. I wish yCu to exhaust all honorable means l efore you do anything, and I would laefer that you should suffer before I should see civil war inaugurated in this coun try. We have already lost, all but out honor by the last war, and I must say that, in order to he men, we inust pro tect our honor at all hazards, and we must also protect our wives, our homes and our families. [Cheers.] I wish distinctly to state that I am not ifg, , ainst the colored man, neither have fever been against the colored man. II carried forty-five of them into the war with me, and alt but one re mained with medurit g the war. The next time I saw the o e who deserted, he was in the hands o 'the metropolitan police forstealing. [ heers and laugh ter.] I wish you to do nothing that will give the Radica party any pre tense to bring on a war. I warn you particularly against this. They woald like nothing better than a war, for through i tthey might carry the election, and by this means keep office and con tinue to rob and bleed us. If however, the war should come, and I hope it never will, I want no drones in my drum of bees. [Applause] If lam forced into a collision, I can tell you that every man shall be compelled to do his duty. They have got to take sides with us or the other party. We will have no neutrals; all must show what they are. If they are not for ti 4 then they will be'against us. ,Weinic.t he a unit on this tery grave quest ion. The militia will be a unit, and we nmst be in the same position. My fellow citizens, I assert it is a soletnn thing to think of, for I have no doubt that you -have all had enough of war. You have seen war and you know what it is, and therefore we ought, as I said before exhaust 41 honorable means to prevent It coming among us. But if it does come, I will do all in power to meet it, let the consequences be whatthey may. ,[Loud and prolonged cheering] I - now want to say a few Words to the black men who are hero before me, and what I wish is to ask them to stand by the men who raised you, who,nursed you when you were sick, and who took care of you when you were little children. I say, stand byhem who ,are your real friends, and 1 a your Loyal youoyal Leagues, i where you, Ire taught, to refuse the franchise to those whO have always proved your friends: I tell you that if you will only, stand by us that we :will always stand byjyou, and do as mgch for you as any white men can do for you. Yo can have no interestwitli any scalawags and carpetcbaggers, [Loud cheers and laughter.' All they want from you is the little money you have got. The Northern people -.say that these scalawags and carpet-baggers were ithieves;and robbers in their own section of the country. [Applause.] Then what can you expect from them ? [Applause.] voice. General, there are a few Southern carpet-baggers and scalawags also here. General Forrest. Yes, there are, and lam ashamed to own it, that they were nurtured on this soil. They are too lo* for me to speak about, and I have no words to Fxpress'my contempt for such persons. I feel to-day that Governor 13rownlow:is one of thatclass. [Hisses.] He has escaped to this time because he has been shaking with sick ness and weakness, and is considered crazy, but if he inaugurates civil war in this ,Mute, then 1 tell hint he must stif fer the consequences. [Cheers.] When.the war closed i surreidered honorably and desire to do my d ity to my country, but I love the soldiers and those who fought with me during the war. i love them as I love my own life; and I never intendythat they shall be shot down 50 long, as I have an arm to raise in their defence. Nireat cheer ing] Fellow soldiers, we haVe stood by each other before, and now I want to know if you will stand by hie and by the other Confederate generals in what we did a few day ago at Nashville. [Cries of "We will we will," and great cheering.] (lent 'men, 1 feel I am getting hoarse, an I have lately suffered roan 0 severe cold! and I fear I will not be able to spea to you much lon ger. [Cries 01" G )on,General,goon."] Well, I now wish to speak to you a few minutes about Ike Democratic Con vention lately held in New :York. While I was present at that convention! I learned that some of those who called us their friends were not in favor of enfranchising the soldiers of the South who fought in the late war. Now, I want to know how that is. I was taken cheerfully by the hand by the leading Democrats of the North, while I was in New York, and they showed me the greatest friendship and displayed the greatest kindness towards me. !That is the reason I want to know whether it is true about the remarks that! certain parties that are against enfranchit..infr, the :,okliers. One of that patty k Mr. Leftwich,) has been nominated here to-day, and I want him to come form, and . and state whether he has ever said that the Southern soldiers Should not be en franchised, or whether lie is opposed to giving us all our rights. When I hear him deny this rumor I stand ready to support him, but not till then ; but without it I cannot do it,, and neither can you. [Great che'erint.] 1 have - la letter in my pocket from Washington, and I am sorry to learn from it that Mil. Johnson is said to, have pone' against the Democratic pally and against the South, on the ground that we of the South who Were delegates of the eon ventibn did not press luS nomination. I did press it, and used all my influence with the Sou Bern delegates—General. Hampton an . others—and procured him fifty votes. 'We saw, however, that lid could not be nominated, and we had, therefore, to change,, after sev eral ballots had taken Pace. The oth ers would not contimervoting for Mr. I Alinsorr, and I di , of think there NrctS any !love yr . -..f.....-4....tdui. ...f...... several ballots hat been cast. Since that time he has se it me my pardon, for which I am tro y thankful. Now, fellow-cif ens, I think it is right for Mr. Leftwich to declare this evehing whether' he is in favor of en franchising the Southern soldiers or not. r feel it is important that the Southern soldier& should know whether you have nominated a man vliose sympathies are wit those who fought for the "Lost Cause," and is prepared to give us all our rights, [Cheers.] If he tells you frankly and freely he is,' which I he liev,e be will, then I for one am willing to And him to Congress.

NO. 36. FORT SANDERS, D. T. Aug. 17th 1868. ' To THE AGITATOR : Thinking per haps a letter from the great West might prove interesting to-the readers of your valuable paper, I know of no better way to pass away a leisure hour or two, than by giving you a brief history of the doings in this section of the coun try, and what I have seen since I came here. On the Bth of June, I left the city of New York, bound to St, Paul Minn. my,route being via the Suspen sion Bridge, through Canada to Chica- , go, thence by the North Western, and Minnesota Central Rail ways to St. Paul. While there, I paid a visit to i the FM'S of St. lAnthony, and Minne. i haha (Laughing Water) made famous in song by Long fellow. From St. . Paul, a pleasant ride down the Mississ ippi River to Clinton lowa, and across . that State, by rail to Omaha, Nebraska, found myself at the Eastern terminus of the Union Pacific R. R. Stopping one day in Omaha I took the cars on the evening of the 18th for a ride across • the Prairies, to the Western terminus of the road : Twenty-six hours sufficed, to bring us over 573 miles of raid from Omaha to this post. At that time the express trains only ran ae:far as Lara mie city, one and a half miles beyod here, they now run to Benton city, o e hundred and ten miles farther wes , ik and the track layers are,' moving. 'for ward at the rate of three miles a clay ; the company exp . ect to complete _the , road to the Salt Ilake Junction before winter sets in. 'ls,Tow I return to this pest arid its vicinity ; Fort Sanders, , was lard out and built by a Battalion - i of the 36th U. S. Infity a little :more than two years ago ; being inten ed as a protection to the laborers, on tit U. P. R. R. It is at present the ead- Quarters of Bret. Maj. Gen. Gibbon ComtVg the Rocky Mountain Military , District and is garrisoned by Co•.i C. & ' D. &E. of the 30th and Co. D. Of the i 36th U. S. Inflty. It will probably be maintained as - a Military post, so long as there are any apprehensions of In- dian depredations, along the line of the i road. Ltieamie city was laid out by the R. R. company in April last, and ground brok .11 for a Roupd House, and Hotel, both of which are now near completed. On the7lst of May the track layers ' ar rived within five miles of this post; it was on a Friday, and the contractors were anxious to stop at this post over Sunday. So they made the laborers of double wages for the day, to show their skill in handling rails ; bright and ear ly they were at work, and before . sun down they were passing the post amid a salvo of Artillery from the Battery stationed here, at sundown they stopp ed work, having completed kib miles of track ; a feat f believe unprecedented in the history of Rail road construct ing. Then the city of Laramie sprung into existence, and in six weeks time had a population of 3000, composed of Rail-road employes, dealers iu dry gOodS; groceries, liquors, &c., with mi ners, speculators, .gamblers, horse thieves, and a goodly number of Cyp rians. My first visit to the city was the evening of the sth of July, a Sun; day evening ; all the stores and drink ing saloons were open, and appeared to be doing a thriving business ; hearlog a Bend playing in the street, I walked that way, and found myself infront of what was called the big tent, occupied as a gambling house ; looking in I saw a Bar at which were standing a num ee.--„, -- ,,, .....1.-.aedelesethe-i-trialz neooes sary to fit them for the hands .of the :amblers who were plying their voca tions on all sides ; monti, faro, rem), I sweat, vingt-et-un, each had ts Vaariee, who were fast losing their money, and their senses, Turning away, I I saw the four or five dined houses, well patron ized, plenty I ding found who were fool ish enough to spend their dollar for a dance of ten minutes concluding with the call of promenade to the Bar. One , dollar being the fee for a dance and drink. Disgusted with what I had seen, I turnd homeward having a walk of a mil and a half across thel Prairie,. which by, the way is not always safe ;if l a melees known - to carry much money about with him. There are to be found in this country, Men, who, do not scruple to take life, in their attempts to rob the unwary. A few Weeks ago there was in Laramie a saloonnd dance house known as the Diana; ept by a . couple of young men, whose it characters were not above suspicion,;,, men went to the Mayor with complaint - that they had been robbed in-the place, hut le the absence of proof they were_ al ways acquitted, finally two or three men were missing, and the mutilated body of one being found on the banks of - the Laramie river, and traced to the Diana saloon, the p'roprietors wore ar rested, and confined at this post ; One was released in a fewi days ; the •other whose mune was Kidd, was held until the 91 I) of- the present month wherajhe" e as set at liberty, on account of the — db-; settee o f proof directly implicating him ; the ( same night he-attempted to kill - a soldio at this post, and fired at the Deputy , U. S. Marshal at -Laramie; he Was arrested on the 12th :,again, and the same right was taken from the oil eers, by a Party of Vigilanters, and the next morning was found hanging by the neck in, an unoccupied building just out of town. A few weeks ago, four horse thieves were hung near the North Platte about 40 miles west of Isere, the Vigilanters only acted a little more promptly, they would be doing the country a great service. Last night, a party attacked the mail carsick s from this post ; but they- pre sented their revolvers •at the wrong man the one who was carrying the mail being unmolested, put spurs to his horse, and reached the post in safetY, the other thinking discretion the better part of valor, surrendered his horse to the highwaymen, and footed it into the Fort. A squad of Cavalry was at once scut out, but did not succeed in finding the man or!horse. But I fear I am in truding onf•your space, so I will close with the promise of another soon. !
