ng no doubt to the fact that the owners of the two houses resided at a distance from them, were permitted to remain, and until nightfall proved a great attraction to Sunday loungers. Many bitter imprecations were vented against the unknown perpetrator of the scurrilous performance.--Richmond Examiner. the Lowell, Mass., people, when the news of the Banks's retreat came along, were so excited that they rang the (church) alarm bells. The fright could scarcely have been greater, if Stonewall Jackson had turned up on Boston Common.--N. Y. Mercury. the rebels arming their slaves.--The Nashville Union of the twenty-fourth of May, quotes from the Atlanta, Ga., Intelligencer and Confederacy the following passage, urging upon the rebel commanders the necessity of arming the slaves: We must fight the devil with fire, by arming our negroes to fight the Yankees.

where I left our men. Saw two men standing in the road, and their horses standing by the fence. I supposed they were our pickets. They didn't halt me, so I asked them if they were pickets? They said no. Says I: Who are you? We are part of Gen. Jackson's staff. I supposed that they were only joking. I laughed, and asked them where Jackson was. They said he was in the advance. I left them and rode to Front Royal, till I overtook a soldier, and asked him what regiment he belonged to. He saiJackson was. They said he was in the advance. I left them and rode to Front Royal, till I overtook a soldier, and asked him what regiment he belonged to. He said he belonged to the Eighth Louisiana. I asked how large a force they had, and the reply was twenty thousand. I turned back and drew my revolver, expecting either a desperate fight or a Southern jail; but the officers in the road didn't stop me, and I was lucky enough not to meet any of their pickets. But if it was not a narrow escape, then I don't know what is. When I got out of the enemy's lines I rode as fast as the horse could carry me to Gen. Banks, and reported what I had seen and hear

There were several little incidents connected with the battle, which are well worthy of note here. While Lieut. Robinson was directing the firing of his pieces, in the vicinity of the bridge, he was approached by a man in citizen's dress, who ordered him to take his battery across the bridge, and plant it on the other side. He was preparing to do so, when some one informed him that it was a piece of treachery of the rebels, and the man who ordered it to be done was none other than Gen. Jackson himself. Capt. Robinson, when he planted his battery at the bridge, ordered his brother, Lieut. Robinson, who had charge of a section of it, not to leave his pieces alone. A few minutes later, the rebels, with an overwhelming force, made a desperate charge, and our troops broke and deserted the battery. Lieut. Robinson, seeing that all was lost, drew his revolver and sat on his piece waiting for the rebels. This was the last seen of him, and it was supposed that he was killed while

56. Stonewall Jackson's way. Come, stack arms, men! Pile on the rails, Stir up the camp-fire bright; No matter if the canteen fails, We'll make a roaring night. Here Shenandoah brawls along, There burly Blue Ridge echoes strong, To swell the brigade's rousing song Of “Stonewall Jackson's Way.” We see him now — the old slouched hat Cocked o'er his eye askew, Thy shrewd, dry smile, the speec, “That's Banks — he's fond of shell; Lord save his soul! we'll give him” --well, That's “Stonewall Jackson's way.” Silence! ground arms! kneel all! caps off! Old Blue-Light's going to pray. Strrn? What matter if our feet are torn? “Quick-step! we're with him before dawn 1” That's “Stonewall Jackson's way.” The sun's bright lances rout the mists Of morning, and by George! Here's Longstre“Bay'nets and grape!” near Stonewall roar; “Charge, Stuart! Pay off Ashby's score I” Is “Stonewall Jackson's way.” Ah! maiden, wait and watch and yearn For news of St
