FORT AND FLEET. The Confederate Evacuation of Morris Island IIow Foris Wagner and Grera were Abandoned What was to Happen, but did not. (Detroit Free Press.) Early in September, 18G3, it be came plaiu to the Confederates that they could not hold Forts Wagner and Gregg many days longer. The iron-clads had pound ed them from one side and Gil- m ore's troops from the other, aud that the greater part of Morris Island would soon be in tha bands ofthe Federals was a conclusion which must be met and prepared for. Aud now here was the griuiness of war. The sand forts had been almost leveled to the surface three or four times over, and yet repairs had been made and the garrisons reinforced. They had the iron clads on the one hand and the Fed eral infantry on the other, and it had come to that pass that a fi li ce r could not be lifted above the parapet without finding a sharp shooter watching for it. Gilniore had about thirty, guns in a semi circle before Wagner, and not satisfied with raining tons of shot and shell daily upon the work, lie began a new movement. Here wub the terror of war sap ami mine.' Foot by foot, inch by inch, the Federals had crep as near as was possible, rolling their sand earthworks before them almost as easily as one could roll bales of cotton. Within pistol-shot of the parapet they halted. War had now become cold-blooded murder. A strip of sand, not 300 feet wide was the neutral ground, and the Tiger of War raved back aud forth over the in search of blood. He found it blood by the gallon by the barrel bloold flowing out upon the white sands until the tracks of the Tiger could be plainly seen in dampuess. ,r , '.'blocking the path. The Iron-clads could neither re duce Fort Sumter nor pass it, and tho attempt to reach Charleston by the way of Secessionville had failed. If the Federals could gain possess ion of Morris Island Charleston would be under the fire of common artillery and Fort Snmter could be attacked from a new side. Gilmore had secured the lower end of the island and intrenched his position, but he could advance ho further until Wagner and Gregg were overcome. , .Wagner had re ceived the most terrible pounding from the iron clads a fire so fierce and continuous that army and navy officers asserted that all human life behind . the sand piles had been wiped out, and yet the echoes of the last gun bad scarcely died away when' a thousand Con federates emerged from the bomb proofs and coolly began making repairs. " A column ot 3,000 Feder als had flung itself at the fort, fought with desperation, and re tired shattered and broken. A second column, stronger by a thous and, had rushed over the ditch up the slopes over the walls of sand fonght hand to hand with the ferocity of tigers, and when the broken ranks were reformed within the Federal lines six .hundred men were not there to answer to their names. Battery Gregg had been pounded at for weary days its garrison torn to pieces by the moustor shells, its guns dismounted aud its walls torn out or leveled ' flat but there they were, sullen, defiant, and say ing to the Federal lion: "We are m your patn ana pre pared for you!" Tue English, the ixencu ana tue Germans have their histories of that great four years' struggle in America, aud their historians have praised pluck whenever it cropped out. An American who attempts it will be called a patroit for praising the one side and a ' rebel " Ibr praising the other. There was pluck at Wagner and Gregg and Sumter and Charleston such pluck and determination; such uncomplaining sacrifices for the cause; such a steadfast purpose to-defend every brick and beam and plank to the last as neither Greek nor Spartan ever exhibited. FOOT BY FOOT. When it was finally realized that neither the missiles from the fleet nor the bayonets ofthe infantry on shore could reduce the forts of saud it was determined to blow Wagner out of the path of the ad vance. Wagner out of the way, Gregg would be evacauted. Beginning about the 15th of July the Federal forces may be said to have advanced foot by foot. Dur ing the night tho sappers would advance underground, burrowing the way with pick and shovel, and next moruig the Confederates would look out upon a new Federal position. Wagner was being fought with its own weapon sand. Its sand walls had saved it other sand walls were to overwhelm it. Gumoro was the bpectre of war. His shadow reacbiug further and further up Morris Island, and that shadow never moved backwards. Where it rested it buried into the sand, and left a horrible trace. There was scarcely a day that the Spectre did not seek to devour more ground never a night that the men who followed it or oppos sed it, did not scream out as bul lets tore their flesh. STRIKING AT FATE. In the last days of July the sight of the gaunt and blood-stained Spectre roused the Confederates to fury, aud it was planned to throw enough infantry upon Morris Island to make a quick dash at the Feder- ' als and overwhelm them. The re-! gimeuls to make this move had; been named, when it was. discovered that lack ot transporta- j tion would prevent. Twenty-four hours later it was about to ring out its warning over, Morris Island. Gilmore the Spec-1 tie was as inflexible as death andj as unyielding as a coffin. A snail ' might have progressed faster, but! it was progression jnst the same, j Each morning saw his tracks of blood a little nearer each night there were burials in the sand hills : behind Wagner. The fort was j holding out the guns were roar ing defiance at fate, but fate ever conquers. THE LAST SITUATION. In the first week of September Gilmore's trenches ended within stone's throw of Wagner,but cover ed from its guns. From here he could drive mines into its very bomb-proofs, or he could assemble a sufficient force to make the chan ces of a sudden rush almost cer tain. The guns from land and sea had an enfilading fire, the mortars had the exact range, and it had come to pass at last that death groped in every nook and corner and bomb-proofs in search of victims. MAKING BEADY. Fort Wagner would not surren der, but it must be evacuated Everything was planned in the coolest manner. Only the sand site, rent and torn by explosions, was to be left for the Spectre to gloat over. One of the preliminary steps was te excavate trenches and rifle pits of Wagner. These filled with the rear guard of the garrison; would check pursuit long enough to enable everybody to escape. Such ammunitions of war as could be removed to Gregg and beyond were taken away. At dark on the night of the Cth the evacuation began. The greater part of the garrison was withdrawn to the rifle-pits, two or three light guns dragged away with them, and presently the fort which had been tenanted so long and bad withstood so much was without sentinels to challenge or artillerist to fire. GHOSTLY SHADOWS. There was suspicion in the Fed eral mind that some movement was taking place among the Confeder ates, bat whether it was an increase of garrison or an evacuation no one could determine. To be prepared for any emergency, a strong cal cium light was thrown upon the fort from one of the iron-clads. From the vessel it seemed as if one could have seen a cat walking along the parapets, but the light was de ceiving, it was . a ghostly glare which betrayed those who watched instead of those who worked. Men stood upon the parapets without discovery, and the strong glare on the front of the fort deepened the darkness on all other sides. On this night Federal pickets lay in their rifle-pits within thirty steps of the ditch of Wagner, but they neither saw nor heard anything to arouse their suspicions. There were less than 8u0 men in the garrison, aud as night came on they marched out of the fort and moved away like shadows. The soft sand echoed uo footstep, and no voice was raised above a whisper. While the ghostly glare of the calcium light fell upon the ramparts and while the Tiger of War crouch ed in the sand only a few steps away, listening, peering, glaring, 750 men fitted across the sand to Battery Gregg without the whisper of an alarm. For every pound of sand used in constructing Wagner and repairing it two pounds of Federal iron had been hurled to batter it down, but on this night it stood there as proud and strong and defiant as ever. LEAVING THE ISLAND. Before 10 o'clock the garrison of Wagner was rowing away from Morris Island. The men had taken their muskets, but little else. Not one of the cannon had been saved. Before midnight the garrison of Gregg had left, and there remained only the small party charged with blowing up both works. WHAT WAS TO BE DONE. The intention ofthe Confederates was to leave nothing but two great holes in the saud to mark the sites of the forts. The order transmitted from headquarters were very plain and complete. The guus were to be spiked, the trunions knocked off and the carriages broken. All am munition was to be placed in the main magazine, and time fuses used for the explosions. The big guns were to be jammed mil of powder, sand and shot and arranged with time-fuses to burst about the time of t he grand explosion. Gregg being five minutes' walk from Wag ner, was to have a ten-minute fuse n place of a fifteen, and the pro gramme was to have the two explo sions occur in the same second. WHAT WAS DONE. Xo move could be made at Wag ner until after dark, and then it was found that a blow struck upon a gun would arouse all the Federal pickets lying beyond the ditch. The guus were spiked by men crawling about like cats, but they could not be arranged for bursting nor the carriages destroyed. The spiking was better done at Gregg, being further away, but jet within six hours after the Federals took pos session every gun was in good work ing order. The fuses had been repeatedly tested, and each time they had burned brightly and exactly such a distance to the minute. In each fort the fuse was carefully laid and led to a barrel of powder, and they were burning all right when the last boat left the island. And yet, strangely enough, neither fuse ac complished the result deemed posi tively certain. One went out alto gether six or eight feet from the powder, and the other became dis arranged and was consumed without damagejto anything. The last boat from the island was discovered by Federal picket-boats and fired at, and ten minutes later it was known to Gilmore's forces that Morris Island had been evacuated by the Confederate. At a given sigual Forts Sumter, Johnson and other works turned their lire upon the evacuated forts, to prevent the Federals from rush ing in and extinguishing the fuses, and though this fire answered the object in one sense it failed in an other. From April to September Wagner had beer, stormed and assaulted and pounded until almost every grain of sand had soaked a drop out of blood, but here it was at last in Federal hands. Ten thousand in fantry, thirty cannon and mortars in battery, backed by a fleet of iron, clads, had finally driven 720 ineno a sand heap, and Gilmore was half a mile nearer Charleston. Federal history called it a great victory, and the masses shouted glory without counting the cost or consulting the facts. To-day the sea pouring across the sand bar in three or four different channels,aud a few months more may see white capped waves rolling over the spot where whole pages of a nation's history were written with bayonets dipped in blood. M. Quad. A Boston "Hoodoor.'' A certain yonng man in this city can never be argued out of belief in the total depravity of inanimate things, which has been impressed upon him in a singular and forcible manner. Last night he came home very late from the club although that fact is neither hero nor there On reaching his sleeping apart ment he proceeded to undress ac cording to an unvarying system into which he has fallen. He removed bis coat and vest and hung them over the back of a chair. Then he sat down and took oft" his shoes. He then drew off a certain other garment in short, his trowsers in one pocket which he was accustom ed to carry a penknife and the key to his office desk. On doing so he heard the knife fall upon the floor, aud, picking it up, he placed it upon the washstand and finished disrobe ing. In the morning he rose be times, and, on resumeinghis trows ers, discovered that his key was missing. He groveled all over the floor looking after it, but without effect and although hunting high and low, could find nothing of it. As it stormed that day and the walking was bad he put on a heavy pair ot boots, which he wore all day, and donned again on Monday morning. On Sunday he tried all manner of ke's on his desk, but, owing to the diabolical inginuity of the lockmaker, none would fit, and on Monday he got a locksmith to come up, and at his order made him two new keys, so that no such ca lamity as he had endured should again tail upon bun- With these two keys in his pocket ho went home Monday night to prepair for the theater, and on putting on the dress shoes he had won at the club found the missing key in the toe of them. The language that he used at this discovery was of a somewhat lurid character, but it seems to do him good. Aud he swears and affirms that the key jumped into the shoe on purpose, having pre viously arranged with the knife to fall loudly on the floor at the same moment and avert suspicion;and he furthermore deposes that the key will not now fit his desk, as it has stretched the slot in it so widely by grinning over its little joke that it cannot move the bolt in the lock. On Flirts. N. Y. Ledger. If a flirt only knew when to stop, flirtation would not be so bad. If there were any sense of the fitness of things in her any respect for place or persons there might be even a time for flirting; but she is the most obtuse of -all people, the most unlikely to know when to cry enough. One who generally lies, will, on rare occasions, tell the truth. Thieves are sometimes honest, mis ers generous, spendthrifts economi cal. Even slandermongers refrain from scandal now and then. But a flirt flirts on, without regard to any one or anything, from her cra dle to her grave, with every mortal mau who crosses her path and will stop long euough. If single men are not to be had, married ones will do as well. Young Felix being gone, old Grandfather Happy is taken in hand, and slapped with her fan un til be chokes. She flirts with grave deacons and merry music-masters, with her cousin's little boy and her aunt's second husband. And a wedding where she is a bridesmade she will flirt with her attendant groomsman while a bishop is asking if this woman will have this man. At a funeral she will kiss her fan to that handsome Mi- Xvwhois decor ously looking into his hat with the proper expression of solemnity. When she "engages" herself it. is only a temporary performance, and she thinks of being off with the old love than she does of being on with the new. And if she is cap tured at last generally with a golden bait she goes off on her wedding trip making big eyes at an old admirer. She receives let ters that she is oblige to tear up, during her honeymoon; and if she is fashionable she settles down afterwards into the married flirt. If she is rednceed to a plain, do mestic life,perhapse in a village, she takes what the gods send her, and flirts with the baker, the milk man, the boy who brings home the meat, and old Ebeuezer Smith, who "tends to the vegatables." She flirts as long as she is young and pretty, ane goes on after she is old and faded. She flirts while men like it, and long after they ceases to like it. Alas for our sex that this is so! The mantle of matrouhood never seems to rest upon her shoulders comfortable, and age finds her flirt ing still, making an affectation of what was once natural, and one may hear her at an eavening par ty coquettishlj- commanding men to "go away, do," who wish nothing oetter than to obey her promptly.

W. B, COX IN COXUEESS. The New York Sun pays the fol lowing compliment to Gen. W. R Cox, ofthe Metropolitan district: THE OTHEH COX. In the Forty-seventh Congress tnere were two members named Cox. Everybody knows the Samuel Sullivan Cox who represents the Seventh, Eleventh, and Thirteenth wards of this ton n. They call him Sunset, bnt his sun never sets. The Forty-seventh Congress is the twelfth in which he has served; it is a quarter of a century since he first carried into the House of ltepresen tatives his wit, his philosophy, his knowledge ot what interests men, his industrious habits, his incor ruptible conscience, his honest pur pose to speak and vote right. The other Representative Cox hails from the hill country of North Carolina, aud his name is William Rufiin. We learn from the Con gressional iDirectory that he is a new member. He has been a sot ton planter, a rebel Brigadier, a practising lawyer, a Judge of the Superior court, and a chairman of the Democratic State committee. He has finally made his way into Congress, where he is likely to stay, inasmuch as he appears to be aii old-fashioned Democrat, of the sort frequently encountered in the vis ions of the yirtuous and the patri otic, but that does not materialize with great frequency. As far as we are aware, Mr. Cox of North Carolina has made no long speech since he went to Congress. We have read his brief remarks on the reduction of the internal revc nne. They are to the point. He opposed the sham bill of last sessiou because it tailed to give relief to the overtaxed labor and producer. He favors the repeal ot all internal revenue taxation, believing it to be anti-republican m its tendency, and burdensome aim oppressive in its mode of collection. He regards the present machinery for collecting the internal revenue as altogether odious "a system of espionage, informa tion, and oppressive agencies which terquently leads to conflicts and bloodshed, and proves most oppres sive to that class who are least able to bear the expenses of litiga tion." He will take part at the next session in a movement to wipe out ot existence the present revenue machinery and officers. He looks upon the surplus revenue of the Treasury, not as a foraging ground provided by Providence lor Con gressman and their constituents. but as "a continual invitation to corruption and extravagance." Mr. Cox is old-fashioned in his notions of the duty of a Democratic Representative, for he sees no dif- terence m principle between going in lor big. jobs and going in for lit tle one. mere were ninety mem bers who voted last Friday morning against the River and Harbor steal of 1883. Of the ninety members only five were from Southern States, and Mr. W. R. Cox was one of the five. Turning to the record on the River and Harbor steal of 1882, we find that Cox voted against that too. We have a copy of Mr. Cox's speech against the petty and con temptible robbery of the public funds by means of the habitnal appropriation for the Botanic Gar den the florist's establishment which supplies Senators and Rep resentatives with boquets. He pointed out to the House that the Sundy Civil bill contained an appro priation of $10,000 for the Botanic Garden swindle, the Legislative bill $11,700 more; while a sporadic item Jn the Sundry Civil bill gave $2, 500 "for the storage and protection of palms and other tropical and sub-tropical plants." "Now," said Mr. Cox, with great good sense, 'I insist that when appropriations are made for a specific object, all those appropriations should be put together, so that the House can un derstand what it is doing." And he went on: 'We see this Botanic Garden, which has been in existence not half a century, this one garden alone, has cost this Government more than half a million of dollars. The space that is occupied by the garden does not exceed, I thiDk. seven acres, most of which is devoted to lawns and trees. And yet, sir, we see that every year by some meaus this ap propriation is increased; and it is placed in the hands of a man who, I may say, is under no supervision whatever. These appropriations are under the direction of the Library committee. What is the Library committer1 Why, sir, it goes out of existance and expires in a few days; and we have no supervision of the expenditures of this large amount of money for this bouquet garden at the foot of the hill, except it is the will of one man who has it under control. "Now, sir, in regard to bouquets and their distribution. A member of this House told me yesterday he was opposed to lessening the expenditures, because he had received a bouquet the night be fore from Air. Smith; that he was a very clever man. I asked him what disposi tion he had made of it, supposing as a matter of course he had presented it to his wife. But no; he said he had given it to the daughter of his landlady be cause she was sick. Laughter. I do not know that it would contribute to the peace of members' families if it i were known where all these bouquets I go. Laughter. j "Det us faithfully represent the in I teiests of those who sent us here, whether we pursue this wayward god dess of fashion or otherwise. Whatever may be the infatuation of some mem bers for flowers, no one can ignore their influence. The sweet poet Felicia Hem ans siiSgs, 'Bring flowers, fresh flowers, to the festive board;' but we should bring them with due consideration for econony when demanded by the public needs, and at our own expense when required for private festivities." A Southern Democrat who has creeks and trout streams in his dis trict and vet votes against the River aud Harbor bill on principle; a new member of the House who has the courage to stand up aud manfully oppose a petty abuse that many of the older reformers are glad enough to blink; a clear-headed man who can talk solid sense in plain English that is Mr. William Rutliii Cox of North Carolina. We are glad to say that he is re-elected. (J-. tiin? his Answer, Young Tompkins, thinking to take a rise out of Pat, "Why, you've got that paper upside down. Paddy!"

W Eupon, a gentleman of learning and good taste in polite letters, and with whose approval we commend thtm to our readers: Still sits the school-house by the road, A ragged beggar sunning; Around it still the sumachs grow. And Llackberry vines are running. Within, the master's desk is seen, Deep scarred by raps official; The warping floor, the battered seats. The jack-knife's carved initial. Long years ago, a winter sun, Shone over it at setting; Lit up its western window panes And low eaves icy fretting. It touched the tangled golden curls. And brown eyes full of grieving; And one who still her steps delayed. Where pride and shame were mingling. Pushing with restless feet the snow To right and left, she lingered As restlessly her tiny hand The blue-checked apron fingered. He saw her lift her eyes; he felt The soft hand's light caressing, And beard the trembling of her voice, as u a tault confessing. "I'm sorry that I spelt the word: I hate to go above yon, Because" the brown eyes lower fell "Because you see, I love you." Still memory to a gray hair man That sweet child's face is showing; Dear girl 1 The grasses on her grave Have forty years been growing. He lives to learn in life's hard school, How few who pass above him, Lament their triumphs and his loss. Like her, because they love him.

"lie's grown to be a polished gentleman, anyhow,'' said an old lady gazing fondly at the shining bald head of her son, just returning after a long absence. New Berne Advertisements. II. W.
