"Well," continued Krouse," ''I can
tell you what it all meant. There
w;;s a trsigedy at the bottom of that
flag of truce. I was one of the 4li
cers sent out to meet it and from one
of the Con federates while they- were
wyitintr for an answer from General
Sedgwick, at Warrenton, I heard all
about it."

'Weil, you t-ee, that Fall of 1SC3, as
well as at various other times there
was a little guerilla and bushwacking
business going on back iu Fauquier
county, and the life of a Uni5.i man
there was by no means a happy one.
The leader of-oue of these guerilla
gangs was Jim Coleman, a former Bal
timore plug ugly who had cheated the
gallows t'.to or three time, ai.d when
the War broke out was hiding about
Warrenton, Virginin, and the bright

"Oid

roughly demanded Colemaii.
'James rode out this afternoon, but
I know not whither he took his way."
"Well, if he's not-here, where's your
daughter She'll answer just as
well."
"Slle's within ; but I would like to
know now she can be interested in anv
business with thee."
'"It's none ot your business how she's
interested. We want to see her, tud
that's enough. You just walk her out
here."
"That I shall certainly not do," said
the old man in great astonishment, for
it Was the tirst time in all the trouble
that any but respectful language had
been used towards hmi.
"You two," said Coleman to a couple
of his men, "go in and hustle the gal

"Well, you've got the gnl, I s'pose
we can go," said Coleman.
"No ; don't be in a hurry, I want to
know who you are and also w ho your

"I'm an officer in the Confederate
service,"' sir,"' said Vanhoru, and I want
to be respected accordingly."

In the meantime James Pickering
ind his friei ds had been holding a

VUich he would take her to Kichnioud,
marr'v her and send her" to his North

girl was disposed to favor his suit, but
utterly refused the elopement.
"Affairs were fn this shape when we
came up thrm-h the valley and so-ift-n-nod

Twelfth North Carolina was one of
the regiments left, by Lee to keep an
eye out that no flank movement wus
made, and it was laying out in the
pine barrens and among the hills about
half way between Warrenton and
Urban na.
"By some means Lieut. Yauborn
and Jim Coleman were brought to
gether, and finding out the character
of his new acquaintance the lieutenant
conceived th idea of carrying off Mi.s
Pickering by force.
"Coleman was ready to undertake
the business if he was well paid for it,
but not unless Lieutenant Yauborn
be one of the party, so as to shield him
if he got into any trouble with th
Confederate aulhoriti-s. This the
roung man agreed to, and all their
plans were arranged
. . . - j
"Now in h grove of tnicK pine
somewhat off from any regularly
traveled road, and about three miles
from old Pickering's place, stood an
old school house that had, been desert-
fed for a more convenient situation and
which had fallen into decay.
"In this schoolhouse, upon a certain
occasion, the Union men, of whom a
few were scattered through this re
'ion. used to meet, and so far the new
use of the building had never been
suspected.
"On the afternoon of the J5th of
October, Col. Glendenih, of the Eighth
Illinois Union Cavalry, under orders,
sent out a little party of a lieutenant

This drew a laugh not only from

from several of the Union meu standing

that he drew his revolver and fired in

In a moment Coleman and Van horn
were snatched off their horses and put
under guard, while the whole party
ranailv made their way through the
pines towards Pickering's house. Soon
iueycame to the edge of the woods,
where a tall column of smoke rising
iu the evening air met their gaze.
"Hielieve" Miid James "that they
have tired our place.''
A few minutes' more rapid march"
iug brought them to the top of a hill
where they had a view of the tarn
house, which was indeed in flames.
"Come on," cried James, and the
whole party came dowu the hill at a
run, the cavalrymen keeping a bright
lookout for the prisoners. In the
farmyard was a snd sight, where the
grev haired old mother sat with the
head of her wounded husband in her
lap, looking :pon their burning home.
Few words were said. After saving
such of the property as they could, the
Union men still held the prisoners.
They had ropes with then, and there
was un pitying justice in their looks.

Secretary Carlisle was asked Satur
day by a removed official why he ad
been dismissed. The Secretary's an
swer, characteristically short and to
the point, was "I removed yon.
solely for political reasons. 1 w..n. d

that when some of the chiefs orjlivin
ion, whose resignations had been ask
ed for by Secretary Carlisle, cefuipU.n-
ed, Monday, of the shortness of tin
notice, the Secretary repbed: "You n
ceived notice on the 8th of last No

holders. That these should go was a
