INTERESTING INCIDENTS. Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. Memphis, Tknx., April 16, 1862. This war has given to history some of the brightest and noblest instances of personal hero ism that ever illuminated tho proud annals of a nation.' There is a great spirit animating the mass h spirit of pure, unselfish patriotism ; but ihpre isa great stiU.which lives alonein the hearts i f individuals ; which burns not less fn the souls of ago, than throbs in the rbstless impulses of youth spirit which speaks with a voice of thunder amid the din of battla, and yet becomes a Christain halo around the bed of suffering and death. But alas ! the world does not always see and recognise the inspiration until the honored possessor has slipped the cables of life, and been borne beyond the reach of everything but memo ry and tears. i ueo -inoiigrjis HTe-nE'E'estevr-bv btj mclSent which was related to me by Dr. Keller, of this city, concerning a lad fifteen years of age, named Charlie Jackson, who was wounded in the recent battle, and is now lying hopelessly at the point of death. Some months ago his father raised a company in which Charlie was permitted to drill with the privates, and finally became so expert in the manual of arms that, young as he was, he was chosen the drill-master. In due time, marching rders were received. Then, the father consult ing the age of Lis boy, and probably his own paternal feelings, gave him to understand that it was bis wish be would remain at home. To 'this Charlie strenuously demurred, and plainly told his parent that if he could not go with him, he would join another company. Yielding to his obstinacy, a sort of silent consent was given, and the lad left Memphis with his comrades. . The regiment to which they belonged was detached to Burn8ville, several miles distant trotn Corinth, and here it remained until the Friday or Satur day preceding the battle. . Orders were then re ceived that it should repair at once to the field and take its position. Charlie was asleep at the time of the departure, and the father, unwilling that one so young ehould undergo the fatigues xbf the long march of twenty miles, and the dan gers of the coming fight, gave orders that he should not be disturbed. Several hours after, the bov awoke of his own accord. At a glance, his eye tdbk in the condition of affairs, and his knowledge of coming events satis fied him of the cause. With him to think was tu act. He seized his little gun a miniature mus ket which his father had; made for him, and alone started on the trail of hi absent regiment. Hour after hour he trudged along,, and finally just as they wece baking preparatory to going into bat tle, he succeeded in joining his company. His father chided him, but how could he do other wise Jhan admire the ' indomitable spirit of his boy. The battle commenced. Charlie took his place by his father's side, and was soon in the thickest of the figh'. A bullet struck him in the body and torn an ugly wound. Still he pressed on, firing, cheering and charging with the re mainder of his regiment. He seemed not to know the sensation of fear, and his youthful ex ample on more than one occasion was the rally iny point from which the men took freeh spirit. Suddenly, at a late hour in the day, the little follow fell shot through the leg a few inches be low the hip. He gave a cheer and told his fath er to goon. 'Don't Viind me;" said he, "but keep on ; I'll lay here till you comeback."-' This of course the feelings of the parent wodld not permit him to do, and picking him up in bis arms he carried bim Xo the nearest hospital. Within a day or two Charlie was brought to his home in Memphis, feeble, yet full of hope and courage. Dr. Keller was called upon to examine the wound, and, if necessary, to perform amputation ; but at a glance his experienced eye saw that the poor boy was beyond the hope of recovery. Mortifi cation had set in, and an operation would only increase his sufferings without prolonging life. - The lad noticed,the sober countenance of tne phy sician as he turned away, and went to an adjoin ing room to break fine mournful intelligence to. tho weening latner ana moioer. jwoining couia he done, but to relieve him of pain by means of oniates. A few moments afterwards he returned to the bedside of the sufferer.when the young hero abruDtlv met him with the-question "Doctor, will you answeHrae a straightforward Question, and tell me tho truth?" "... . The physician paused a moment, ana men said; "Yes, Charlie, I will, but you must prepare for bad news." "Can 1 live?" was the response. "No! Nothings can save you now but a miracle from Heaven.' 'Well, I have thought so myself. I have felt 5 if f was eolns to die. Do lather and mother know this?" "Yf" renlied the sureeon. I have told ? I o them." "Please ask them to come in here." "VVhen the parents had done so, and ta ken their places on either aide of the bed, Charlie reached out, grasped their bands in his, and ."Dear father and mother, Dr. Keller saya that I can't live And now I want to ask your for giveness for all wrong I have done. I have tri ed to be a good boy in every way but one, and that was when I disobeyed you both and joined the army. I cculd'nt help that, for I felt as if I ought to be right where you were, father, and to fight aa long at I was able. I'm only sorry that I ' ttst .boSk fc w x. If I r said anything fwrong or done anything wrong won't you forgive me? rnejamicieu preuw wu " - sent. I 'Nw, father," continued the boy, "One thing more.1 Don't stay here with me, but go back to camp. Mother will take care of me, and your services are more necessary in your company than than they are at home. I am not afraid to die, ar.fl T wish I had a thousand lives to lose in the same way. And, father, tell the boys when you rt hrk how I died iust as a aoldier ought to Tell them to fight the Yankee as long as there i one left in the country, and never give up Till them, too, to kill just as they think will avenge the death of Charlie, ana wnenever you fill n th onmnanv with new men let them know, that besides their country there's a little boy in Heaven who wiil watcn mem aim Vva3 fn.
