OF Hampton's celebrated "Cattle Baid,'' in the rear of Grant's army, was regarded by Lee's starving solOiers as a triumph of genius. The 3000 tail steers that -were brought back as the spoils of victory, were started at with as much delight as ever a triumphal procesieon along the Alpine way. The achievement was not without bloodshed. For a brief space the lighting was sharp and decisive. It is known that Hampton planned the expedition only after having "scouted"' over the ground himself. The writer of the following was one of the raiders. Asthe gray morning lifted its curtains, and the smoke of the con flict floated away revealing the wounded and the slain of friend and foe, then lay at full length the apparently lifeless form of gallant "Ike." His frien Jack was first to discover and approach him. "Ike, my boy are you dead!" said Jack, with feeling. The slow response was a loug sepulchral groan. "Ike, old fellow, are yon much hurt!" repeat ed Jack taking him by the hand. Jke, with languid, half open-eyes drawled out: "Mortally wounded Jack; I'm shot through the body The country through which our troops passed the day before, abounded in large orchards, the fruit of which had been distilled in to apple brandy an I our boys, being good forgers, had secured a fair supply. Both Jack and Ike were fond of a "nip" and like many oth ers ff the command, passed the canteen freely tha night before the attack. Jack had some left in liis canteen, and raising Ike' head, e aid to him: "Take a pull old fellow, it will do you good." Ike motioned the canteen away, and said with a reproving look: "Take f Hhat canteen aay, Jack, and don't be offering liquor t a dying man. Take warning by me, and let liquor alone. O, if I oaly had a Bible." Jack thought that Ike's voice it her .strong and weli sustain 4 Gf ftMEtti ahnnr, to riennrt this lidTlWan to look for his wound.

So, instead of replying to his inquiry about the brandy, with a mock-serious air he took out pocket Testament, and turning the pages, asked Ike if he had any fav onte place he should read from to comfort him. Ike could stand it no longer, but rising to his feet said "Jack, stop your blamed foolishness, and hand'me that canteen-" C7oi. cofi;ikic iti: i;sio:vs. TO TIIE PRESS OF TlIE STATE.
