8hiall piirt'cs of Feds were occasioYially seen and
t»a gid .a« they approached the border of the
' herokeo eonntry Bu^Ilo!hiItg occurred of any
particular interest utrtil the)’ had pepetrated the
Indian country to some distance The boys were
i:ay and hilariou ; often scattered for mile"? along
ttie road, as caruioNS and much at ease as if in*
tli.ir own homos and no enemy near. On the
lOth orOot.viber, without guide or compass, with
out the slightest knowledge of tho country, but
marchinp in good order—for the “sign" was get
ting ^ref^it—they suddenly came upon a party of
Federals tearing down some houses belonging t(?
the exiled llidge party. A d(.)zen or more unsus
pecting Fin.s and negroes, with a few Feds, came
up to the advance ^uard of the guerillas, but the
larger po-'tion, «ot liking the “lay ouf,” and
soenthig the danger, fled towards the fort, which
Ool. Quintfcll had not yet discov'ered About
sixty of Todd’s men, under the leadership of
Lieut. Taylor, gave chase to the flying Federals,
while the rest, under “Old Quant” and Todd,
were dispatching the miscreants who remained
A few of the retreating Feds wore«>vertaken and
shot down; the others, more fortunat*, “leveled”
themselves to retch a place of safety; and, all at
once, Taylor came in full view of a strong fort,
surrounded with breai?tworks and ditches. Thi
was a new foatTire in the -case; and it was very
evident tliat something novel and mysterious was
aciuating the Feds’ movements, for they were
ranninsj to and fro, some gazi«g eagerly at the
advancing force of Tayior, without an attempt at
preparation lor resistance—while others still

terror stricken yankees, who bad so madly rushed

down upon fiim. He observes the Adj’t'General
endeavoring to escape; calls to him to stop and
fight. He does turn to meet tne guerilla now
swooping down upon him like an eaglo on its
prey. The yankee fires a long range gun—but
irisses his aim; he draws his jiix-shooter and rap
idly, nervously discharges tho contents at his ad
versary, who all this time is gaining on him and
dashing straight at him.
As an eagle swoops down on his prey, grace-
fully and grandly ferocious, beautiful even in the
act of destruction, so does Peyton Lohg, the
young hero, gallantly bear down on tUe “cute” yan
kee; he reserves every shot, while Curtis is wast
ing his; he-dashes upon him—both pause for an
instant as if in mutual admiration—-but only for
a moment. Peyton Long watches his antagonist
-aud sways his "body to the left to escape the sabre
cut of the yankee; the next instant the inevitable
six-shooter ol the guerilia is pointed to the head
of the splendid looking fellow; it is the work of
an instant; Peyton strikes like an eagle, and all
is yver! A shout of 'triumph arose from the
throng of guerillas, w^lo had ceased the fight to
watch the encounter between this Kell matched
CoUplt). -
Long saw his ant^igoqjst fall heavily to the
earth, aud hi.'? noble heart ess-iyed to pity and as
sist him; but the stern mandate, the inflexible
canon ot the guerilla’s cre«d, “kill and spare
not the Yankees,” the order of Geo Blount Wt-
lawvng erory gaerilla, written by those handi be
fore him and approved by ^at autUring hmttf
wounded and some horses killed.

that Sherman’s army, alter occupying Jacki>ou

point they diverged from the railroad whiob leads
on to Meridiauf and took the direction of Lntei-
prise, a point on the Mobile and Ohio railroad
Enterprise is 120 mile's North of Mobil*; and the

from Tennessee, in the direction of Franklin,

a paying expeditiou. It seems a yankee force
estimated at 600 invaded North Carolina by way
of the Tennessee Kivcr, and got within about J'i
miles of Franklin. But Col. Th jmas’s Indians
bushwhacked them so unmercifully that they
turned at that point and hurriedly retreated, hav
