Th« forls below the city were taken on tlie 28ili of Afirll. 1863, by Oetiintjn* (lore Furragut'a Meet MIHI tlie city ol New OrleaHi at once capltnlate.1 to tlie same aiilliori'y. There wore some 4,000 J toldloft ou irmieport* in the river that (luring the bombardment of the fort* hat) rented iitly on tli« bosom of the ewlft ctirrent. But now duty called, and on the night of April 29th the transport*, bristling wl'li bavonstg. Rteaiaed tip lhe stream. The |>rinciple ^rt of the Union force consisted of the 9th Conn. Infy; 4th Wia. Infy; 2fitlt and 31st Mass. Infy, a id Oapt Nlm'a Boston Battery. Q«». Butler and stafl, with the 3!st Haas., led the van. N« lovlier M«y day could ever have cheered a human soul than the lirst day of May, 18G2. For a brief time the transport* stood "till opposite the Plain of Clialineth. Tlia warships were off the town, and at sunrise at a signal front the fleet the I rarsports moved on. The baud or the 46th Mass.--Gilinore's famous Boston band, and another, a stranger to us-- played the "Star Spangled Banner" Coining up with the Hartford a band on the Heet took up the same strain. The noidiers standing In line on the decks saluted the marines as they passed them by. Tlie tranaport Mis­ sissippi, with the 31st Mass. and Gen. Butlee and stafl oil board, at once came alongside tlie wharf and made fast. At this moment there was a dense mass of people ou and about the wharf, and In fact as far as streets were visible. there was one solid body of human beings. I however netlced one atrik* ing characterise of the occasion, I. e. along by the river brink were many men in grey suits, and with thetu a dense, dark, deep Hue of well dr«sseO women. As our steamer made fast there arose a murmur in the vast crowd ef tens of thousand*, and a moment later the suppressed murmur changed to a growling jeer that dr«»w*ied the music on the waters, and mocked the atttenrf&e Af Nature's lovlieM * ware« vt»«S ic.i" inrwnmim wihrtwr «rnimir as our regimentol flag was unfurled and iu uit instant Iter hemJ was pierced by a rebel bullet, and within perhaps ten minutes two other ladieb were desperately hurt at the hands of blood­ thirsty thugs because they exhibited some tokeu of leyalty to llie flag we bore. The great guns of the fleet were all trained on the town, and iu tlie twinkle of an eye could shake heave i and earrh with terrible volley* of Are, deadlv cansiieter, grape and shell. Iu a brief time tlie city could be wrapped in flames and every thoroughfare be run> ning with human blood, yet iu the full knowledge of these facts richly attired citizens, us well as thugs, m&le and fe- uiale, bond and free, drunk and sober, vied with each other in demonstration* »>f defiance and hale. Ladders were lowered front the dock of' tbe Missis­ sippi and one company Attempted to descend and clear the wharf so that the regiment might land. But for some cause, unaccountable to me, the com­ pany failed to clear the way and was recalled. This recall caused an uproar of derisive ridicule that the imps of black perdition might shame to dupli­ cate. The company 300k had however, with kettles and Ills musket established himself on the wharf and did net give heed to the recall, lit nas at once be- deged bj gre.v uniforms, seine wearing side arms (buwie knives), and the fol­ lowing aggressive au«l demonstrative dialogue followed: Reb. Q--" What are*you here for ?*1 Yauk A--"Taught I'd come en 'long with the boys." Reb Q --What do you do with them kettles?" Yank A--"Bile coffee and 'taters." Reb Q--'"How many soldiers lias But- If r got»" Yaiik A--"That's the smartest boat 1 ever seed. Guess we run by 5.000 or 6.000 soldiers coming from l'cusacola. Don't touch my kettles, Cap. wouH like it. Reb Q--"What 111 Ii--I do fou know about guard duty?** Yank A--"pon't raise any 'bout here du yer." Reb Q, (bitterly)--"You are a h--1 of a man, you are j s--n of a b--It,' Thereupou the left flst of the Ya.nk, like a lightning stroke, planted with cruel force uuder tlie Johnnies right ear. laid the latter senseless on the planks. Another company was then descending the ladder and the regi­ ment was hurrying iuto line. In an­ other* ten minutes tlie soldiers were moving in column of platoeus towards the custom house. The 9th Connecti­ cut lauded a few moments later and toek up a position with a section of artillery near the Prtydvas market. I think the 40* Wis. and the 26th Mass. went ashore Immediately, but of this I am not certain. The seathing. growl­ ing, cursing mob, a Babylon of tongues. would without stainlr.g Imagination pass for a duplicate of literal hell, ex­ cepting (perhaps) that in lieu of Are tM® ^ M«nle4 «H<i ft < 1 * Something upon many a soldier's cheek Washed off the stains of powder. We had not been in possession of the custom house three liourd^ when a tall lady clad in black a-nd heavily veiled was brought iu by the officer of the guard. She was a native of Maine. For over four months this lady, on account of her northern blrtli, Itad been sub­ jected to the most cruel treatment, in contrast to which murder would have been a welcome boon of mercy4 It ap- n»«w»y VUV in and about their house and yard, the Inst resort being in a hogshead partly tilled with syrup; and in this incom­ parable prison we found him, delirious, a living skeleton. He was kindly cared for by the soidiers. and In a few days after Ills release he was shipped north, but early on the journey he died and his remains were consigned te a watery grave. That noble, confiding, and talthful wife deserved a gold medal ot honor, grander than was ever bestowed upon a liero of mortal combat with armed foes, on laud or s»a. Her name Is forgotten. The willowy ferm and thoughtful faoe may be lost In the cumulative vista of passing years, but we wilt not forget the deed, and inter- associated with gallant deeds of the son* of New England the devoted cour­ age and tlie exalted heroism of the lady from Maine should ever shed the halo of reflective glory upon the daughters «f i4«e i*in« Tree Slate. M. ^f.C. wallowed In a .conflagration of cotton pud molasses. Old Basin Street levee. Carondelet, Canal and St. Charles streets were steaming and smoking. Hundreds of barrels and hogsheads of sugar and syrup had been pilfd to­ gether in the center of those thorough­ fares and burned by the rebels. The ador trom burning sugar, oil. cotton and filth seemed a fitting and appro­ priate accompaniment to the taunts and jeers of the god-forsaken medley that thronged the house tops, packed balconies, jammed sidew alks and surged indiscriminately even against the ad­ vancing troops. In that vast sea of wlld. animate commotion, midst those causeways christened in the fumes of hell, there suddenly appeared a ene-legged man, poorly clad, whose locks were whitened by the hand of time. He cheered the old flag, and on his crutclses swung himself along near the line of blue. The old man had fought in Mexico and lo>t his leg at Montery. His clarion hurrah for the United States echoed in strange contrast to the wild, excited cheers of the dense mob of the confed- acy. A citizen snapped a pistol at the old man but missed flre. Again some one in the crowd attempted to take the old soldier's life. Two shots Were rtred. (This was near the custom house). Both shots wounded citizens but missed their mark. At the Instant of this fir­ ing, one compauy, without orders1, hailed, biought their bayonets to the chargo and cocked their muskets. An officer declared that If a hair of the old man's head was harmed no quarter would be given to any live person in the crowd regardless of age or sex. The brave old veteran and his younger associates moved on to tlie custom house, and there In a few days the old hero died. We gave hint a soldiers burial, and *1 wo fired our farewell volley - Allee Blaine's HnsM*4L When Coppfnger was stationed at Cainp Verde, Arizona, as the captain of one of the companies of the Twenty- third Infantry in 1872, a band of reOl^g emits arrived one day, filled with fear and terror of tlie oflitter under whom they wer« to serve for the ensulne five years. Report and rumor had pictured I'opplnger to them as being a pirate Captain and a persecutor of the rank nnd file. Copplug. attired in a suit of clothes that might have distinguished ateimster, was iu tlie sutler's store when one of the recruits entered. "I would like to see this Captain Coppln- ger," said tlie recruit, "I understand lie's n hard man." Eveiybody present expected Copplnger to annihilate the newcomer, but he did not. On the contrary, he engaged him in pleasant conversation, lit which Captain Cop- pi nger was abused in a manner that caused his listeners to fear that the private would be punished for his temerity. Finally, when the vocabulary was exhausted, Coppinger Introduced himself to the. astonibhed soldier. *1 hope you will\hink better of what you have said," remarked the Captain, as he turned to leave. vWell, see here." replied the recruit, "I suppose this means guard-house and ball and chain for me, but, If I liavu to die for it, 1 must insist that, according to all re­ ports. you are a ---- tyrant." Coppiu- ger leoked the fellow in the eye a roiu- ute. "I like your courage," he said. when at length he broke the silence. The recruit was soon alter eointnU- Sioued as a Corporal.--Denver Tribune.
