, they broke into a swift canter. Their road lay along the river bank, which here led in a southeasterly direction. Turning to the negro at her side, the lady remarked: Now, John, we have a ride of ten miles before us, and we must be at Glendale as early as possible. All right, missus, rejoined her sable companion, dese hosses will take us through in good shape, I know. They followed the course of the stream, whose waters glistened in the rays of the morning's sun like polished sifaces that their ride was being undertaken for other purposes than pleasure. The riders pressed on, scarcely slackening their speed until in the near distance could be seen the tall spire of the single church in the pleasant little village of Glendale. They now drew rein and brought their smoking steeds to a slow walk, and riding leisurely onward, they stopped before a neat little inn located on the outskirts of the town. An old, white-headed negro took their horses and led them away, wh

the night before and had informed Mrs. Braxton, the landlady, that these parties would take that route from Richmond-and had left a note to be delivered to Mrs. Lawton, which contained instructions of her future line of travel. The trip from Glendale was one attended with great risk, as the country, on that side of the river, was filled with the scouts of both armies, and if captured by the rebel scouts or pickets, the chances were that detection would be followed by serious consequences. Aer of the room he saw the pack and several articles that had been worn by the peddler, which left no further room for doubt in his mind as to the character of the individual he had been watching for so long a time. He accordingly set out for Glendale, where he arrived just as the sun was sinking behind the western horizon. He narrated the particulars of his chase to Mrs. Lawton, who as convinced that the peddler was a rebel spy; but the question was-Was he upon their track? Did he suspect

the benefit they might derive from them. In a few days, then, having completed my arrangements, Curtis started to Richmond, by the way of Wilson's Landing and Glendale, he having decided that, provided as he was with his pass from the Secretary, it would be perfectly safe, and at the same time a much shorter route than by the wleader, who now entered the room, and approaching him, said: Mr. Harcourt, I have orders to place you under arrest, so you will prepare to accompany us to Glendale at once! What crime have I committed? demanded the old man, now perfectly calm, that you dare enter my house in this manner! You will know that soon enou the circumstances was admirable, bustled about the room, getting together a small bundle of clothing for her husband to take with him on his enforced journey to Glendale; and anon, while doing this, spoke soothing words of comfort and encouragement to the younger children, who, white and speechless with terror, were crouching in

Taking the route by Glendale, he, towards evening, arrived at Richmond, without any event worthy of notice, and put up at Miller's Hotel. A few weeks later found him on his return to the Army of the Potomac, and in his possession important dispatches that he had obtained in the rebel capital. As he left Richmond, the news reached that city of the evacuation of Yorktown by the rebels, and their retreat up the peninsula towards Williamsburgh. The effect of these tidings was anything but encouraging to those who had
