secure them from that city, each car-riage costing, for one'day," $75. i",

.-« WRIGHT'S BRIGADE.Wright's Brigade broke camp some five

miles from Harper's Ferry about ;darkon the 16th, and marched 'all night, overheavy, wet roads, covering fourteenmiles. In the early dawn the men reach-ed the Potomac, • and without a haltinarched down the >

steep, riverside andthrough the cold water,waist- and knee-deep. These brave soldiers were verytired, and. many had fallen by the way.Their number had also been reduced 1 byhard service since April, so thatwhei}the brigade came within sight *and soundof flaming shell and booming cannon;only from 100 to 150 of.the Third -Georgiawere along. Nearing Sharpsburg the bri-gade met other troops that had marcheciall night to come to the aid. of "'UncloKobert."

A little after sunrise Wright's men flungdown their knapsacks, formed inlins and very eoori . came upon thefield of battle at a double-quick!

;'Answering the welcoming shouts of menalready on the fleld, they rushed on. ina desperate, charge, a; ''death-like" strug-gle:with the enemy, and drove him fromhis position; but the brigade; lost heavily.General Wright Was wounded;- ColonelJones took; his place, was wounded ad-;yancing at the head of his men, and Colo-nel-Gibson led the command the rest ofthat awful daj\ \ "....;;'.About 12 o'clock Wright's men went tothe rear and had a dinner of roasted green

jcorn -and hardtack. They .Were .... called

Iagain to arms at.4,and fought until dusk.The battle closed, with Lee still in pos- :

session of the field. When the roll was-called that night only 40 of the 100 or 150Third Georgians ,who had gone

"

into bat-tle were left to answer.• The killed, .wounded, and .captured ofboth armies numbered; about 22,743.

One shudders at this cruel sacrifice oflife on:both sides, and hopes in the on-ward march of civilization the- day maycome when; the whole world will shrinkfrom; the resort to "blood and iron" inthe :settlement of national ;troubles. ,REST INCAMP ATJORDAN SPRINGS.Itwas a A7irgiiiian who told the story of

The fallof Fort Macon was only a question ofblockade :must, therefore, be broken,time,and a very, short time at that; theQuietly, and secretly we set to -work,and being assured by my .chief engineer(Hood) ;that with his small force andthe assistance of the deckhands he couldkeep "the vessel under steam, we madeready to run through the blockading fleet.IS. was fortunate in securing the servicesof ;Captain Goodingy. an excellent coastpilot, who was then in command of thesailing• ship< \u25a0'blockaded in. the harbor.He 'brought with him" a chart, ahrono-

•meter.; and sextant, and such instrumentsas .were deemed absolutely necessary fornavigation, with the promise that if hisefforts were successful .the ultimate com-mand of the ship would-be given- himby the" purchasers. .

Having made all my preparations todestroy the ship, ifnecessary, to preventher capture in passing out, Idroppeddown .under the "guns of Fort Macon.Colonel White, in-command of. the fort,came on board and told me of the ef-forts \u25a0 that :were being made for my cap-ture. .He suggested that, '.as Ihad nomeans of defense, Ishould, on the ap-;-proach of the expedition, destroy: my ves-sel' and. come into the fort.as a re-enforce-"nient to him. ,1 then divulged. to CaptainWhite my/plan of escape, and! notifiedhim of my intention to.run;out that even-ing, requesting him.to -sec ...that Iwasnot fired upon, by his command. "He wasdelighted :with^the plan-.and wished 'meGod-speed. {On the evening of March 17,"1862, .between -sunset :and'" moonrise^;.: thenaoon being nearly full, I.tripped my,;an-chor and ran out.
