Recollections of the IrVar: Row tlie Oflieers or Company Became Oisosted Wltb Col- lards. BT SI OKA. Every one who served in the r- ray duriDg the "late anpmunt new" is aware how xeimkgVf f ficuH it was to proetre reUl4I TofVnTkiud. inoVfliW 17. in? tnSTfl?vr.w thetf eyrjont beetnie isba & that they were scarcely to be had. The cubic iooh of fat pork flaog to each as his daily ratios of meat was carefully saved from day to day until some member of ihe mess was fortunate enough to procure a few heads of 'greens' or a hat-full of little, hard, spindling turnips. And. then what preparations for the long delayed and hungrily anticipated feast! The bittered and dig used camp-kettle was joyfully brought forth from its retirement in the wagon and carefully scoured with water from the nearest ditch or pud- die. Every collard leaf was care fully examined, with eager eye3 and busy Sogers, that no lurking green worm might, by any accident, become incorporated with tho sa vory mtis. The little squares of pork Wi.re dug out from the mealy depths of the greasy haversacks and the skin sides scraped to free them Irorn t'se filth and grime accuoiula ted in tLe long transit to tho array in raiKcar and army wagon. 27ow their hury eyes would sparkle and dance as tho little specks of grease, like bird's eyes, began to rise to the surface cf the gradually heating water, and how eagerly they would snuffle up the stead, P3 the pot be gan to boil, and cast up th jJttlc white cubes to tho surface, to be again swallowed up as they rolled over toward the centre of the ket tle ! Then tho greens were (.laced in the boiling water, every frag ment of a leaf was carefully skim med op in the hand and thrown in to the foiling pot and mashed down with a stick or bayenet until there was on'y room for tho dumplings, .whose wonderful lu;i;ps of boiled corn meal dear to tha palate of qv ery true Tarheel, DuriDg the time occupied in cooking, each one was busily em ployed in manufacturing a fork from anything that came handiest, from a fence rail to a small sap iag, and when it was declared "done" and the kettle taken from the fire and placed on some convenient spot on tho ground, where they could all easily assemble around it, how rav enously they fell to and attacked it with their improvised forks, but scarcely ever until their favarita officers had bea coorteoujly and cordially invited to partake of the rare delicacy. Loyal and leal to his country and her cause, none knew better than the Tarheel soldier how to resent an injury, fancied or real, or to re turn a kindness. At all times re spectful and obedient to his supe rior officer, yet he nsver, at any time, let an opportunity pass of showing to such as had treated him unkindly or harshly that he remem bered the hurt and cherished it.-No nobler, braver, or more eelf-sacri ficing set of men ever lived on the earth than the private soldier in the late Confederate army, and among them 6tood pre-emminent,in rags and dirt, unshaven and unshorn, batt'.e searred aud grasping hi3 trusty rifle, t'iO Tarheel. 1 knew theoi at homo, where they left ilioir wives anl lit tle onc3 unprotected aa-i unprovi dod.for, toilmg almost day and mht for a scanty subsistence on tht coarsest fare, and I knew them in battle, where they becama trans lormud iiota mere ordiLury "mortals ana became men of iron and steel, ;a irrebistible in the charge as tho thunderb t from heaven. Tar HrEL ! There is no reproach in the r ame ; it has become the synonym for Loyalty t Fortitude and Bravery. History has not withheld her tribute to his prow ess, nor failed to record the story of his deeds. Ah well ! JRevenoua a nos mouto:iss as the French say. I was near being led away from the aim and object I had in view at the outset, by what they very prop erly term V esprit du corps Par don the digression and let ua harry on to the end. During Foster's raid from Now Berne, early in the war, although there was no scarcity ef provis ions there was a sad want of time in which to cook and catj We were marched and countermarched . day and night, through sun aud rain, wind and storm, hail and snow, and to no purpose, so far as any of us could discern, beyond frightening all the old women into the idea that there was going to be something done and somebody was going to get hurt, for wnen we were marcBV ing in one direction on one road ia search of Foster, he wu sure to bf marching on another road aad ia a contrary direction.

JQtere we were all quite busy in making our selves j a comfortable as possible. The enow was raked away, fire were built, bush-shek era eonttructv ed, and busy preparations for cook ing and eating began.' One Or two servants were attached to almost every officers mesa, whose! duty it was to look ont for their baggage, attend to the cooking and procuring fuel an 1 to do the foraging gener ally. About nine o'clock on the first nighji of our arrival in camp, one of the negro servants attached to our mess came in with a bag fall of col lard greens on his baek. A9 soon as it was known that there was a prospect of some greens to eat, ev ery one was up, and as busy as a bee, making the necessary prepara tions for the feast. The camp-keS tlo was uns'ung from the coupling tongue of the wagon, where it had' idly swung for many dya past, filled with water and placed over the fire, and it was not a great while before a small ham from our scanty store, the greens and the inevitable dumplings were seething and bub bling before our very eyes. Stretch ed oat at fall length on oar blank et?, with our wet feet to the genial fire, we related to sob other oar several experiencts, told amusing stoiies and laughed and jested, bat always with an eye to the pot, and, now and then, our lips to the mouth of a canteen filled . with something we were led to believe the good peo ple of Eclgecombo prized very high ly, for we found a barrel of it care fully buried in ; swamp not ay from us. if the owner of that bar r?l and its contenta was toasted once thai night, lie was toasted ,tett tnousana times, and, J; tne vconae!. .BMlrfcrt county, ap- o'clock that ni.

"Leave them for the niggers, Bill !" remarked some one. - "No. I am going to. eat one good mess of greens before' the Yankees kill me," and he begin assiduously to apply himself to the work of get ting them out with his forked stick. "I'll be cas3ed if I don't believe they have burnt right fast to the bottom," said he, as with a mighty! eaort ne succeeded in aetacning from the bottom, and holding up to view, not the 'expected greens but a dirty ehirt that belonged to one of the negro servants, ror a single instant we were all speechless with amazement, and then one enerjetic individual remarked, very emphati cally, that "he'd be d d," anoth er remarked h 1 fire !" and with one acoord we all ran o?r finger a down onr throats and tried to throw up what we had eaten, but we could not eject it, our etooachi were too tenacious of what they had received.

Br the defendant, bat not theinitrtho actually commit ted the znarder in' 80'ath Caroliua, On this "special verdict tho Court adjudged the defendant guilty, and ordered him to pay a fine of one hundred dollars and the costs of the prosecution : and the defendant ap pealed. Held, The guilty or innocence of a party charged with crime, or the false evidence on which the precept for Lis arrest was based, cannot im pair the authority which the precept conveys to make the arrest. And the protection which it affords is not restricted to the officer to whom it is directed, but equally extends to all who may aid him in its execus tion. If a warrant issues from com petent authority, the justification is full to the officer and all who co operate with him, and no enquiry is admissible into the circumstances under which it waa issued. Obedi ence to the command of a lawful precept cannot itself be an offence. Whatever redrew the prosecutor may have again3t defendant for ma licious prosecution, or whatever pun ishment may be inflicted for his false evidence cannot impair the protec tion afforded by the warrant to those Who executed it. - Dixon vs. Commissioners of Bean fort, from Beaufort.
