Y., was re­ cently made happy by receiving a log of wood four and a half feet long and nine inches in circumference from the battle­ field of Chickamauga. What makes this relic particularly valuable to Mr. Palmer is the fact that it has imbedded in it six cannon-balls, which range live or six pounds apieoe in weight. They were buried deep in the wood, and the bark has grown over them. Another thing to enhance its value in Mr. Palmer's eyes, is that the log was cut from the part of the field on which his regiment was stationed.

"A man in Birmingham, Ala., writes to some Northern papers that 'a great deal of nonsense has been written about the ferocious character of the bloodhounds used to hunt slaves, prisoners of war and couvicts. The dogs used in trailing es­ caped prisoners were small foxhounds, small, slender-limbed, insignificant and harmless animals.' The Alabamian tells a direct lie, by concealing the greater part of the truth. It is true as he says that the dogs used lor trailing prisoners were small and not specially dangerous. But the packs used for hunting prisoners --and the writer speaks from personal knowledge, as he was overhauled by dogs in trying to escape from, AndersonviUe-- were made up of two or more dogs which followed the scent, and an indefinite num­ ber of other large, fierce dogs, of every description, which ran after the trail- finders, &nd attacked the prisoner when brought to b^y. They were the terrors which the prisoner had to reckon with, and behind them came their master, re­ volver in hand, to help his brntes torture the misable runaway." V*- A Soltaaa Survivor- . % . A foraging expedition that was sent out from Huntsville, Ala., consisted of ten men and a Lieutenant, and nine wagons. A force of480 Johnnies attacked us, and we gave them a right warm re­ ception. In less than twenty minutes we had killed twelve and wounded about twenty of our assailants; but we were overpowered and captured. The rebels took our shoes, coats, hats and then marched us to Hollow Mountain, distant one hundred miles, over frozen ground, barefooted. Thence we were shipped to Cahaba, on stock cars, where we received each day half a pint of cornmeal, cobs, husks and all being ground together. We remained here until the Alabama, river overflowed and for ten days we were compelled to stand in water waist dwp.

A procession of dead and wounded had filed past us until we were sick with horror. Shot and shell an^bnUet W {alien upon usbri^lhe wood until the dry, dead grass bore many a stain of blood. "Attention! Forward--guide right-- march!" Our brigade was going in at last, and there was a look of relief on the face of every officer and man as he got the word. "Quideright--front--forward--march!" As we swung clear of the woods a gust of wind raised the smoke for a minute and I saw the plain in our front blue with dead and wounded. Away beyond them was a line of earthworks, and 1 had one swift glimpse of a thin blue line kneeling behind the cover. "Steady! Right Arsss! Double quick! --March!" The air is alive with the ping of bullets aud the whicz and shriek of shot and shell. We bend our heads as if breasting a fierce gale laden with icy pellets. There is a wild cry--a shriek--a groan, as men arc struck and fall to the earth; but no one heeds them--no one hesitates. It is a hurricane of death, but we feel a wild exultation in breasting it. Men shout, curse, sing, swing their hats and cheer. We are driving through the smoke- cloud when theye is a flash of fire in front. I seem to rise into the air and float hith­ er and thither, and the sensation is so dreamy and full of rest that I wish it could last forever. It is suddenly broken by the sound of my own voice. Is it my voice? It sounds strange and afar off to me. Why should I cheer and curse by turns? What has happened? Ah, now 1 come back to earth again 1 Above and around me is the smoke; the earth trembles under the artillery; men are lying about and beside me. Where is the brigade? Why did I drop out? 1 am lying on my back and 1 struggle to sit up and look around. I rise to my knees, weave this way and that, topple over and struggle up again. There ie red, fresh blood on the grass, on my hands, on my face, I taste it on my lips as my parched tongue throats itself out in search of moisture. Who is groaning? Who is shrieking? Who is cheering? And why should I laugh and exult? Have we held the line against a grand charge? Did we scatter and decimate the legions hurled against us? Have we won a great victory to be flashed over the country and cause the bells to ring with gladness? Let me think. Give me time to remember how it all happened. Strange that my thoughts should be so confused and the desire to sleep be so strong upon me, when I should be up and doing. I will sha](e it off. 1 will spring up and follow on after the brigade.

He had no thaii dosed the door behind him aad | taken a nuick glance about tbe plaee when jj an expression of mingled pain and pleas-? ure came over his face. The man was) none other than Major Thomas P. Tamer, the commandant of Libby Prison from! 1861 to 18b5. It was twenty-five years; ago that he delivered over the keys of hia I hostlery to his captors at old Richmond <f and left its famous doors, a.4 he the forever.

But. he reeognlSfr his old commander, auding near the door examt e picture of himself. Going , as he does to all visitors, fo$f urpose of explaining the various > of interests, he began to give a history of Major Turner's life. At talking for some time he was interiupted by his listener, who said; "I &m the man you are telling sflbofctV T.P.Turner." "You are? WeB, if I am not glad you. But I did not know you, you a£#- changed so much," replied th^ old * in amazement. './r* "I suppose so. But I am surprised io find you here in the North, and in this!%g museum," rejoined Major Turner. "Do you not see hundreds, of rebdrelhsa j here, and am IiMit a r^?" repli«d Mr, Chappell. T "That's so." The two wots standing in the spot where the commandant's office wa§£> situated in the days when the bui was the dread confinement place of fji soldiers.
