AETEMUS WAED IN THE SOUTH.
Jlis Trials and Adventures!
I had a narrer escape from tbe isoney South.
"The swing and arrers of outrajus fortin," allud
ed to by Hamlick, warnt cuthin in comparison to
my trubbles. I cum plagy near swearin sum profane
oath? more'n once, but I hope I didn't do it, for
I've promised she whose name shal be lees, (cept
that her initials are Betsy J.) that I'll jine the
nieetin house at Bladinsville, jest as soon as I can
get money enough together, so I can 'ford to be
pius in good style like my wealthy nabers. But
if 1 am confiscated agin, I shall continer on in my
present benefited state for some time.
I figgered conspicjnaly in meny thrillin scenes
on my tower from Montgomery to my humsted,
and on sevul ocasions I thought the great comniick
paper wouldn't never be enriched no more with
my lubrications. Alter bidden adoo to Jefferson
Tavis, I started for the depo.: I saw a nigger sit
ten on the fence, a playinon a banjo. 'Oly Afri
can brother," said I "you belong to a very inter
esting race your master has gone to the war ex
clusively on your account."
''Yes, bofcs!' and he went on plajin the banjo,
larfin all over, and openin his mouth wide enough
to drive in an old fashined two wheeled chaise.
'Ihe tram oi cars m which I was to nst my
valerable life, was the scaliest, ricketest look in
lot of consarns I ever saw on wheels afore.
"What time does this string of second hand
coffins leave," I inquired of the conductor. He
sed directly, and I went and sot down. I hadn't
mor'n fairlv souatted afore a dark lookin man with
a swinster expression onto his countenance, enter
ed the cars, and lookin very sharp at me asked
what was my principles?"
"Secesh," I answered, "I am a Dissoluter. I'm
for for Jeff. Davis,, Beau regard, Pickens, old Capt.
Kidd, Bloobcerd, Monroe Edwards, the Devil,
Mrs Cunningham and all the rest of them."
"You're in favor of the war?"
"Certainly, by all means. I'm in favor of this
and the next one. I've been in favor of the next
foi over sixteen years.
"Blud, ergo blud!" said I, though them words
arn't original to me. Them words were writ by
Shakespeare who are dead. His mantle fell onto
the author of the "Seven States " whose going to
have a spring overcoat made out'n it.
We got under way at last, and proceeded on our
journey, at about the rate of speed which is gen
erally observed by "proper conducted funeral pro
cessions. A handsome young gal with a red mus
keeter bar on the back part of her head, aud a
sassy little black hat tipt over forred, sot in the
seat with me. She had a little secesh flag pinned
onto her hat, and she was goin to her troo love,
who had jined the Southern army aud she were
so bold and so gay. So she told me. She was
chilly and I offered her my blanket-
"Dad livin?" I axed.
"Yes, ser."
"Got any uncles?"
"A henp. V nelo Thomas is ded thV."
"Peace to uncle Thomas' ashes and success to
li I in . I will be your uncle Thomas. Lean on me,
my f.urty seecshener, and linger in blissful re
pose. She slept as secooily as in her own house, and
didn't disturb the solum stillness with 'ary snore.
At the fust stashun a troop of sojeis entered
the ears and inquired if Old Wax Works was on
bord. That was the disrespectful style in which
they referred to me.
"Uecase, if Old Wax Works is ou bord," sez a
man with a face like :i double breasted lobster, "we
intend to hang him."
"My illustrious and patriotic man," sez I, a get
ing up and taking off shappo. "If you allud to
A Ward, its my pleeuin dooty to inform you that
he's ded. He saw the error of his ways at PJ
minutes past 2 yesterday, aud stabbed himself
with a slcditake, dyin in 5 bootiful tabloos of low
music! His last words war
"My professional career is over, I jerked no
morel
"And who be you?"
"Ise a stoodent.in Senator Benjamin's law office.
I'm going up North to steel spoons and things for
the Southern Army."
This was satisfactorily, and the intoxicated
troopers went orf.
At the next stashun the poorly seceshcr awoke
and sed she must get out t liar. I bid her a kind
adoo and gave her some provisions.
"Accept my blessin and this hunk of ginger
bred," I sed.
She thanked me meekly and tipped gaily away.
There's considerable human nature in a man, and
I'm airraid I shall allers give aid and comfort to
the enemy if he comes in the shape of a nice
young gal.
At the next stashun I did not get orf so easy.
I was dragged out'n the cars and rolled in the mud
several minits, for the purpose of takin the con
sect out'n me, as a Seceshner kindly stated.
I was let up finally, when a powerful large Sc
peshner came up, affecshunately embraced me,
and to show he had no hard feelings agin me he
put my nose in his mouth. I returned the com
pliment by suddenly placing my stumick agin his
right foot, when he kindly made a spitton of my
able bodied face. Actooated by a dire to see
whether the Seceshcr had been vaccinated, I fast
ened my teeth into his coat sieve Hnd tore it to
the shoulder. We then valiently butted our
beads together for a few minits, danced round a
little and sot down in a mud puddle. We riz to
our feet agin, and by a sudden and adriotic move
ment, I placed my left e)e agin the Secesher's
fist.. We then rushed into each others arms and
fell under a too hoss wagin. I was very much
exhausted, aud didn't care about gitin up agin
tut he sed he reconed I'd better, and concluded
I would. He pulled me up but I hadn't been on
. m)- feet too 8econds, afore the ground flew up and
hit me in the head. The crowd sed it was high
.old sport, but I could u't exactly see where the
latfer cum in. We riz and we emWraced agin. We
careered madly to a su-ep bank, when I got the
upper hand of my antagonist, and threw him into
the ravine,
stone pretty
lie fell about 40 feet striking a grind- !
hard. 1 understand he was injured. !
I have not heard from the grindstone.
A man in a coekct hat cum and sed he felt as
though an appolojry was doo me. There was a
mistake the crowd had taken me for an
other man! I told him not to mention it axed
liim if hi wife and little one was so's to be about,
and got on board the train which had stopped at
the stashun "ten miuits tor refreshments." I
got all I wanted. It was the heartiest meal I
ever et. .
I was rid en a rail the next day, a bunch of bla
zin five crackers being tied to my coat tails. It
was a fine spectacle in a dramatio point of view
but I didn't enjoy it. I had other adventers of a
etartlin charactei, but why continue? Why las
Berate file public boozum with these here things?
SufFysit to say, I got across Mason & Dixon's line
safe at last. !
. I made tracks to my hums teed -but she, with
whom I am harnessed for life, failed to recognize
in the emashiated being who stood before her, the
gusheu youth of only 49 summers, who had only
left hsr a few x&onthj afore. , But I went into a
- ;
nantrv. nA hmnvht out a certain , black bottle.
Razin it to my lips, I sed, 'Here's to you old gal.?'
I did it so natural that she knowed me at onct.
"Those form! Them voice! . That natrel -stile of
dnJn tK 4'T;a hp!" hA Aripd -fitid rushed
into my arms. It was too much lor ner,- ana sne
fell ento a swoon; I cum very near swooning my
self . ' ' .
No more at present from yours for the perpetra
tion of the Union, and the bringing of the Goddess
of Liberty out of its present bad fix.
ARTEMUS WARD.
Let The Officers be. Sober Men. That
good officers are essential to the success of soldiers,
is a question which admits of no doubt. And in
order to be good officers men must be sober. A
drunken officer ought to be removed at once. It
is too hazardous to place the lives of a thousand
men on the uncertain vagaries of a druuken mind.
By all means let them be sober. And when caught
under the influence of liquor, let them be dismiss
ed from service and sent to their appropriate work
hanging round the groceries. Franklin Caroli
nian. The above are very proper remarks atthia time.
It is all important that the commanders of com
panies, regiments and armies should be sober men.
"A Traitor Discovered." Under this cap
tion the Washington correspondent of the North
ern Associated Press writes:
It has been evident, that for some time past, that
accurate intelligence of nil the movements and
preparations of the Federal army is conveyed to
the enemy. There is reason to believe that in
formation, that has been carefully kept from the
public here, has been given from time to time to
Gen. Beauregard. The utmost vigilance has been
exercised to discover the secret traitor who is
furnishing this intelligence to the enemy. A
painfnl rumor i3 in circulation that it has been
traced to an individual occupying a confidential
relation to Gen. Scott.
