C. G. PERKINS. c& o Hj no 3Fbs AN IMMORTAL VICTORY. Won at Sabine Pass by Forty two Confederate Soldiers. New Orleans, La., October 21. The Picayune, in view of recent events, reminds its readers that Sa bine Pass is invested with an his torical importance of which even many southerners are ignorant. UiX-rresiaent, in me Kise and Fall of lu vonieueraie government says that "the circumstances are properly to be considered marvelous. In Sep ber. 1863, the strategic importance to the Union forces of the possessions of Sabine river caused the organization of a large expedition of land and naval forces to enter and ascend the river. If successful it gave them short lines for operation against the interior of Texas and relieved them of the discomfiture resulting from their expulsion from GalvestoD harbor. The fleet of the enemy numbered twenty three vessels. The forces were esti mated to 10,000 men, under Ma j. Gen. Mm. B. Franklin and Brigardier W. H. Emory, Godfrey Weitzel and Frank Nickerson. No adequate pro vision had been made to resist such a force, and under the circumstances none might have been promptly made on which reliance could have been reasonably placed. A few miles aboye the entrance into the Sabine river a small earthwork had been constructed, garrisoned at the time of the action by forty-two men and two lieuten ants, with an armament of six guns. The officers and men were all Irish men, and the company was called the Davis Guards. The captain, F. H. xi r i tt Odium, was temporarily absent, so that the command devolved on Lieu tenant R, "W. Dowling. Like Moul trie in the Revolutionary war, they were advised and refused to leave the fort. Commodore Leon Smith, com manding the Marine Department of Texas, says in his official report of September 9, 1863 : "I arrived at the Pass at 3 o'clock p. m. I found the enemy off and inside the bar with nineteen gunboats and steamships and other ships of war, carrying, as well as I could judge 15,000 men. I proceeded with Capt. Odium to the fort and found Lieut. N. H. Smith, of the engineer corps, with forty-two men, defending the fort. Until 3 o'clock p. m. our men did not open fire upon the enemy, as the range was too far. The officers of the fort cooly held their fire until the enemy had approached near enough to reach them. But when the enemy arrived in good range, our batteries were opened and gallantly replied to a galling and most terrific fire from the enemy. As I entered the fort the gunboats Clifton, Arizona, Sachem, and Granite State, with several others, came boldly up to within 1000 yards and opened their batteries, which were gallantly and effectively replied to by the Davis Guards. For one hour and a half a most terrific bom bardment of grape, canister and shell was directed against our heroic and devoted little band within the fort. The shots struck in every direction, but thanks be to God, not one of the noble Davis Guards was hurt. Every man stood at his post, regard jo o to tlie establishment wnere iow prices aiways reign. less of the murderous fire that was poured upon them from every direc tion. The result of the battle, which lasted from 3:30 to 5 o'clock p. m., was the capture of the Clifton and Sachem, eighteen heavy guns, 150 prisoners, and the killing and wound ing of fifty men, andd riving outside the bar of twenty three vessels in all.' The inquiry may naturally arise, how this small number of men could take charge of so large a body of prisoners. This required that to their valor they should add strategem- A few men were placed on the parapets as senti nels, the rest were marched out as a guard to receive the prisoners and their arms. Thus was concealed the fact that the fort was empty. The report of the guns bombarding the fort had been heard, and soon after the close of the battle reinforcements arrived, which relieved the little gar rison from its embarrassment. "A few days after the' battle each man that participated in the fight was presented with a silver medal, inscribed as follows, on oneside : 'D. G., which was for Davis Guard, and on the reverse side, Sabine Pass. September 2d, 1863.'" The Toy Savings Bank. Down with the little toy savings bank! I believe it touches children to be self ish. 1 hate to see a child, a sweet, in nocent child, with dimpled hands and a laughing face, clutch the penny or the nickel you give it close in iu little fin gers, and run first to drop it in the greedy, misi-rly "savings bank" and then come back to thank you. We teach the child to be unselfish when we give it a penny to drop in the mis sionary box and 50 cents to buy a toy for itself; to dole out a penny a week for charity, and keep the savings bank rattling: full. But haven't I a savings bank in my own home? Indeed I have. And I'd like to see you or any other man, except one of my dear friends, the Vanderbilts, pour money into the top of that savings bank as fast as the Prince can draw it out at the bottom. That's the way to run a bank. Make her use ful. Milk her! "Mr. Speaker," said the California legislator, "may I ask how much money there; is in the State Treasury?" The Speaker estimated about $40,000. "Then," said the mem ber. "1 move to rake her." What good does the money do locked up? If you don't spend it some thieving Alderman will get hold of it Burdctle. "My love, what ma?ic spell Is thrown Upon your face? Its charm I own. Whence came thy pure and pearly teeth? Thv rosy lips? Thy perfumed breath?" She said, in accents sweet and clear, " 'Tis onjy SOZODONT, my dear." The Atmosphere of Love Is a pure, sweet breath. This desideratum is one of the results of using SOZODONT, which not only invigorates and preserves the teeth, but renders the mouth as fra grant as a rose.

Moore. to meet the wants of our daily increasing trade. A WAR STORY. As Told by Maj. "WV H. Toler, ft Native of Wayne County. Curbstone Crayon in Chicago Inter-Ocean. Yesterday Major W. H. Toler, of Los Angeles, Cal., called to see me, and in the course of conversation it came out that he owned and left the great battlefield at Island No. 10 Ten nessee, to go to Los Angeles. I re marked that I knew something of that place, as I was with Pope's army there when he made the attack on New Madrid, Mo., in the early part of March, 1862. Major Tolor explained he had made up a company mostly of his own ten ants for heavy artillery service, and firave them the offices and went in as a private himself, and on the memora ble 13th of March was given the gun ners place at gun No. 7, J in Fort Thompson, on the bank of the Missis sippi river one mile below the town of New Madrid, and he asked me if I re membered any striking incidents in connection with the work of that bat tery. I told him I did remember it well. I remember that on that day there came a shell from that battery that entered the muzzle of one of our gains, exploded in it, broke the gun into fragments, killed and wounded seventeen of our men. It was an ex traordinary incident of the war. Major Toler remarked : "I remem ber the incident as well as you, and J have better cause to remember it. I fired the shot myself, and there is a history about it. That day there came from your gun a large shell that struck our breastworks at mv gun without exploding, and my ordnance officer, James Everett, picked it up, brought it to me and said : Toler, here is a shell the Yanks sent at you, and it did not burst; you had better send it back at them.1 I asked Jim if he could fix it so it would go; he said he could, and 1 said, fix it, and I will send it back at them with compound interest,' he prepared it and said, 4 1 guess she will go now.' I prepared the crun and aimed it myself, and we all saw from the unusual commotion that it created at the gun, that something extraordi nary had occurred, and the little army gave shouts that seemed to shake the earth. Gen. A. P. Stuart, who was in command, saw it and came from his headquarters and congratulated me, and promoted me to be Major on his staff." After the war he lived on his plan tation at Island No. 10 for sometime. but during the reconstruction period he took position against the ku-klux gang, which involved him m compli cations of a semi-political character, and after he had broken them up, and peace was restored in his country, he moved to Los Angeles, Cal., where he has lived since. The Major talked freely of all the circumstances connected with the op erations about New Madrid, and I must say that his story from a rebel standpoint was to me, a red-hot union ist, very interesting. ! .
