BX JAMES FHANKXIN FITI8. IN the same week that saw the fall of Petersburg and Richmond rBand the surrender of C. 4 the remnant of tho Army of Northern Virinnia, Mobile was itaken by the Vnioa "a- forces, alter a long an d hard-contested series of operations. Coming so lab and at so reinota a pointrfroia tlifl mojt -important llipater of military events, the comboiedtuks of our niriny and navy nKn tho widely separated defenses of Mobili? hardly attracted the attention o: tho ccuntxy. Yet it was a long-continued and bravely fought contest on both sicles, and the losses were severe. Inside or outside of Mobile it was not known in the first days of April, 1865, that- ths war was about to end, and those who fought there were as determined and as gallant at any soldiers anywhere. Individual acts of heroism were performed there that ought to have place in tho annals of this war, but which have never been told in print. One of the most daring th; ae was a recennoissaace undertaken by a Lieutenant with a sergeant and private, all of .the signal corps, which will now be related oa well as it can be by one who merely heard the thrilling description of the extraordinary events of that night given by those who were engaged; in them. Many of those who fought in the Mobile armies could give an accurate, description, wljich I cannot pretend to do, of the situation and importance of Battery linger, t which was part of the defences. It was a strongly built earthwork somewhere on .the Bay, armed with heavy artillery, and having a largo garrison. It was located a niilt) and a half from the shore upon a mud foundation that had boon strengthened for the purpose, was surrounded by reeds and water-grass, and was approached from tho bIioki only by a narrow-built causeway, a mere footway of plank elevated above the marshy soil, which a single cannon of tho earthwork could sweep. Pioket-boatB were sent far out from this work, and it had been for some time impossible to discover by am means short o.f a gunboat attack (which it was not just then considered advisable to make) what was going on behind those high earthworks. Indeed, tho belief prevailed to some extent at the headquarters of the besieging forces that Battery Huger had been evacuated. What led to this opinion, and whether it was anything more than a guess, cannot be known. What concerns this narrative is, that some time before Mobile fell it became a matterof great importance, to ascertain definitely whether there was a garrison in Battery Hager, and whether it was held in jorce or only by a picket. For this da ngerous service a Lieutenant of the Signal Corps was detailed. He wits ordered to take such help as he might desire, and to make so thorough a rcconnoissance that the questions proposed would bo settled beyond doubt, lie Knew something 01 the topography of the sitnalior , and that a boat would be indispensable. Ho merely took with him a soldier to row, a sergeant to assist him, and several large rockets. It was arranged between hira and the headquarters from which he received 1m instructions that ono roolset sent up by him would bo for the purpose of attracting attention, two more, in quick succession, would mean that the battery had been evacuate.!. The b3at was silently rowed down the bay in the night time, and was brought into the weeds and grass nest the narrow causeway, perhaps midway between the shore and the battery. So jar, so good. That the adventurous boat had not, been discovered before this seemed, in the light of later developments, something quite wonderful. Charging the man at tho oars to remain quiet and not to change tho position of tho boat, whatever might happen, the two others with their rockets mounted to the causeway, and crept cautiously along it. For nearly a milo lihey traversed it, their precautions against possible discovery making their progress slow. When very near to the earthworks they got over into the marsh, sinking up to their knees at tlw first step. Silently they pushed their way through water and reeds, ttutil thoy were well roujid toward the soa-faeo of the battery. Here the Lieutenant made 11 caret ul survey. There was light enough to allow the ides and top of the work to be seen. A (i ago tuff without a flag was observed almost overhead. Not a sign of life wi3 to be seen; no guns, no sentinel, no sound. All was profoundly still and quiet. All this was unsatisfactory. It would nt'ver do to retire, beoauso nothing had been discovered. To be sure, the indications were that the work was not garrisoned; but that was only an opinion founded upon appearances. Facts wore wanted.

But it must be remeuv hfned that the balance of theit judgnrfenta was that the battery was. not bald ; and they must discover tho truth nttftOjajtc) WkVf. jrh(fjy did discover! They pknted a great j rocket-stick in the muil, and Sirfed the fuse with a match. As ilt went hiufh up with a noisy rush, an J a stream of light, there was; heard tbo cf.U of a bugle inside the battery, te sound of orders and the hurrying about of feet, and presently thjparntbt was lined with soldiers, mjasketiti hand. The signal-men, hiddea in tbe reedd below, distinctly heard their eagtalk.. was from one of our boats. " 7 no; thev haven't an; that sins; oy'd hayp nothing to ttse them fttw do iron know?

Til send out and see, anyway. I lwlieve it's some Yankee trick!"' From their concealment, ia the mud tha adventurers saw picket-boats 00mtaig from all directions, and a dozen ltrmed men rush out on the causeway ind run along it, looking over the sides as they went toward the land. 1 In such a situation as this escape would seem impossible. And yet it wits managed. Probably not once in a thousand times could it have lecn effected ; but these daring men accomplished it "With the most toilsome efforts thoy waled -the marah back to their boat, sinking in mud and water Up to th middle, keeping themselves concealed in the weeds, and Ij in,? perfectly quiet when bot.ta, or soldiers on the oauseway, were near; They were probably three hours in getting btvsk to their boat, which they were delighted to find just where they left it. The man they had left in charge of it told tlilem that he had been seen bv men on the causeway, but that they bad inisfeskfen him far one of their own pickets, and lie had the presence of mind to atwwef tuem in; thitt character. The boat was pulled out from the dangerous situation, rowed up along the shore and was put out into the bay far above the picket-boats. About two hours after sunrise a man cams to the quarters of the Ganeral who had 4pnt out this expedition. He was covered almost to the neck with mud which had dried and stiffened on him; his f ace end hands were scratched with reeds, and be was thoroughly exhausted. "General," he said, saluting, "I have the honor to report that Battery Huger ia well garrisoned." It was the Lieutenant of the Signal Corps.- Chicago Ledger, That Chaplain A ho ext. BT DBAS, E promised when writing of the mule to tell how our Chaplain got even with the Irish Colonel. The Colonel was a fitrict officer, with a latter eontempt for the Chaplain, and took every chance that of fered to show that dislike. Every officer and man shared in the contempt, but some few had drank from the tame canteen with and tolerated the Chaplain, on account of his zeal in hunting out and success in finding the spirit and his rvadinesg to share the same with his comrades. One Sunday, a bitter, cold, stormy day, the Colonel ordered inspection at ten, to be followed by divine services. Every officer and man was forced to turn oat, then inspected and marched to the parade ground. Then the Colonel too1 his position six paces in front of the line, ordered parade rest and turned, naluted the Chaplain who at onoe began the erereises by reading a long chaptertfollowed with prayer. Then taking a text ho began an eloquent discourse, and that old Dutchman was an eloiuent man. The sermon lasted one hour, then the Colonel came promptly to attention nd right-about-faced, intending to order the Adjuntant to dismiss the command, but found the entire battalion had silently stolen away, one by one, frozen out, and even the Adjutant had left him and he had listened to half that sermon, standing there in tbe cold wind perfectly still, whilo the old Chaplain could swing his arum around and keep warm. , Lincoln's Military Study. IN the following from an installment of "Linosln's Life," in the Century, the fact is brought out that Lincoln was a serious student of military matters, even from a technical point of view: ' "All his (McClelIon's) demands were complied with to the full oxtent of tho power of the Government, Not only in a material, but A-.l AD .....1 1 X1,A 1),., v..v .m.: .i.A i. ..i,i t addition to that michtv arm v. be crave I his fullest confidence and support. All through the autumn he stood by him, urging him in private to lose no time, but doiead.ng luni in public against the popular impatience; and when winter came on, and the voice oi Congress, nearly unanimous in demanding active operations, added its authoritative tones to the clamor of the country, the President endangered his own popularity by insisting that the General should be allowed to take his own timo for an advance. In the latter part of December, McClellan, as already stated, fell seriously ill, and the en forced paralysis of the army that resulted from this illness and lasted several weeks added ft keener edge to tha pnbiio anxiety. The President p.iinf ally appreciated how much of jus tice uteie avi iu cue ucuaiai uj xti.-ioiu, which ho was doing all he could to allay. Hi gave himself, night and day, to tho study of the military situation. Ho read a large number of strategical works. He pored over tho reports from the various departments and districts of the field of war. He held long conferences with ominentGenorals and Admirals, and astonished them by the extent of his special knowledge and the keen intelligence of his questions. He at last convinced himself that tliepi was no necessity for any further del ay; that tho Army of the Potomao was ss nearly ready a it ever would bo to take the field against the enomy, and, fe.-lin:? that he could not wait any longer tasivv saw uuau iiuv nmiv tin s the 10th of January, "of ter culliug ut . i General MoyieUaa s house nl learn-

THIS relic and reminiscence hunter at "Viskeburg is alwuys fallen to a nut a little in tho rear of the city.

Whef tho Unite States Government ble no the nan) yard at Norfolk. Aoril 21. lfel, there' were lelfc nntafued 1,800. ffirst-olass cannon. These were immed iately taken possession of by the Con federates and shipped to various points on their lines. Many of them went to the Gulf, to the Mississippi and Beet Bivers. One of the largest was mounted in a bill battery at V icksburg. It war trained so accurately as to do grent damage to the invent in:; Union army. It was the heaviest mounted gun there, and as its huge bull went whisziiig through the air, it became the terror of Grant's force. Tbey gave it the name of "Whistling Disk." For weeks Admiral Porter's fleet tried to dislodge it in vain. At last, May 82, G rant ordered a general attack by land and water. Admiral Porter's fleet poured shot and shell into Yi;-ksburg from the water during tbe forenoon. It woe an appalling day for ths inhabitants of the town.

Alter some weeks oX. confinement Morgan bec ante almost frantic. He and some of tho lest began to form plans for escape. At length Mosiean and Captain Thomas H. Hinee tit upon a scheme which seemed practicable. They had been allowed to receive food and other articles from friends and relatives outside. Correspondence by letter with their families was allowed. It has never been fully iiscertained how it happened to this day, but in some way Morgan and six of his officers obtained each a full suit of citizens' clothes. They stole kuiTOa -troar the-' diningtable, and dug a tunnel underneath the floor of a cell. The floor was made of brick and cement. The tunnel was made from the cell down into an airchamber underneath, thence to the yard of the prison. They tow their bed-covering into strips and mode a rope of it. An iron poker from (he stove was beaten into a book, and with this extemporized rope and hook they prepared to scale the great wall of" the penitentiary yard. The signal to go was given just after the great prison bell struck the hour of midnight, "Dumiaies" had been prepared bystuffiug their old garments with newspapers. These they left covered in their beds to deceive the gmv? who alw.ays looked into their cells with a lantern, on his hourly rounds, holding it up to see thirough the grating. Clang 1 went the great iron bell on the stroke of miuight, Nov. 26, 1863. While it struck, a rap beneath on the floor of eaoh cell told the seven men that their hour had come. With beating hearts and hurried hands they placed the "dummies" in tho beds and slipped down into the air chamber, A thin crust of cement had been left over the floors of all tha cells except that of Captain Hines. The cutting of all except his had been made from underneath. The night was dark find rainy, and favored their escape. The hook and rope did their work well, and in a few niinutea after leaving their tunnel the seven men were in free air. They separated into three parties, Morgan and Captain Hines taking a railway train to Cincinnati. A Union officer of high rank was on board the car in which Morgan and Captain Hints sst. Morgan at onoe approached him tad engaged him in conversation. As they approached the State Prison the officer remarked: "That ia the hotel where John Morgan stops, I believe." "l'es; and it is to bo hoped he will stop there, " answered Morgan. "Let us drink to him." With this remark General Morgan offered the Union officer a drink of fino Kentucky whisky. It was courteously accepted! and so the night wore away. In the dawn the tr:,iu approached Cincinnati. Alorjn pulled tne Deurone and went out upon the platform. Hines movod to the platform at the other end of the car, and they applied all their strength t the brakes. The train slowed, and the two bold adventurers sprang off, almost into the arms of a guard, of Union soldiers. One of them asked, with an oath, what the men were jumping off there for. " What'a the use o f a man's goiug into town when he lives out here ?" replied Morgan. "And what's it your business, anyhow t" MOh, nothing," answered the soldier. A boy ferried Morgan and Captain Hines over tho river for $2. Once more they were on Kentucky soil, in Newport. When, ft few mihnfes later, the telegraph brought; word to Cincinnati that'. Morgan had escaped from Columbus, the boy who conveyed him over the river in his skiff gave the first inform itiou as to tho raider's probable method of acoomplishing his freedom. But by that -time Morgan was across tho Licking Itivor, from Newport, and already well on his way to safety in Boone County. Ho went south toward Tennessee, meanf of travel being furnished him by devoted friends, Jk W ar Belie.
