One of the Mtraelee of War. Nocomplete history of the war of th* rebellion will ever be written. To write such a history, one would have to record the deeds of more than two million veterans who participated in that mem­ orable struggle for the life of the greatest Nation that ever existed upon the globe. As an instance of one of the hundreds of thousands of thrilling in­ cidents that were of every-dar occur* renceHn the lives of the brave aten who for four years bravely battled for their country, we would record the following rtarrow escape of one who Is now a quiet citizen of this village. D. VV. Butler was a member company A, Ninety-second Illinois mounted infan­ try. On the morning of tlie 22d of April. 1864, the company was on picket in front of Sherman's gra.id army,which within a few days was to commence its victorious advance upon Atlanta and the grand march to the sea. The ad* vance position held by our pickets was twenty miles south of Chattanooga.and Johnson's army was In their immediate front to dispute their further advance. Under cover ot darkness* a force of rebels took position in front of the Union videttes, whilst another force penetrated to their rear and erected a barricade across the road. When the rebel Are was opened the videttes were ordered to fall back, and in doing this fell into tlie rebel ambush. Seeing the trap into which they had fallen, butler determined that his only chance of escape was to leap the barricade, and urging his horse to the top of liis speed he guided him, in the face of the rebel lire, for that position, which was soon reached, and liors* and rider cleaied the barricade only to fall upon the other side, the former fatally shot and the latter stunned and senseless front the full. To make sure of their victim, the rebel* then, with the butti of their muskets, crushed his skull. This ocsur- red at 4 o'cloek In the morning, and at 10 o'clock the position was retaken by our troops, and the Federal dead, among tliem Butler, were thrown Into a wagon aud removed to the rear. In a casual examination of the bodies, tlie surgeon discovered sigus of life in But­ ler, and he was taken to the hospital, where he received proper attention, aud on the 9th of May, sixteen days after this occurrence, lie returned to consciousness.-- Warren (III.) Sentinel. M * HONK S GOOD WORK. The bourbon newspapers of Virginia lack wisdom as much as their party d6es wituS leaders. Governor Cameron Is one of the representative reformer® of Ma- hone's party of readjustee. A few days ago he saw fit to recognize the negro element, aud at the same time Interest the in iu education, liy appointing a few of their number trustees iu the city of Richmond. Thereupon the whole bour­ bon press of the state opened its bat­ teries aud fired thefr hot shot at him. Their denunciations of him have boen so furious as to attract attention from outside of tlie common wealth. Ma- hone's assertions that his party has doubled the number of school buildings In tlie itate, reduced taxation and opened the way for a free and fair bal­ lot, are not denied. No attempt is made to refute these claims, and the people of the country will conclude that Mahoiie told the truth. The senseless row raised by the organs oT the de­ mocracy because a Sensible effort Is being made to identify and interest the negro iu the work of education. Is better calculated to make friends for Mahoue than It is to win support for his opponents. As a nation we are working nut the grand problem of self-government. One essential factor in this must be educa­ tion. Ignorant peoplo cannot success­ fully govern themselves, and are the material for designing demagogues to operate upon aud use for their own sel­ fish ends, Mahoue aud his associates in leadership air evidently not the great demagogues the Virginia bourbon press has pictured them. The radical papers In tlie north have also done them an Injustice. If they were the demagog­ ues and tricksters they have been rep­ resented to be, they would not be seek­ ing to educate the masses that follow them now. They wonld not be doing everything in their power to hasten tlie education and civilization of the negroes who to-day follow tliem as meekly and willlogly as a dog follows his matter. The att ack made upon them for such work will naturally lead the people to ask if the readjusters, after all, are not doing a good work for Virginia? Do they not look upon popular education, not merely as desirable and important, but a necessity to the life and pros­ perity of their state? While they have beeu reducing 'lie lndebtendeesof their state, do wc see any niggardly economy in |h«.«iiuee of education? Have they w^gWeW^ child, be that child white or black? Have they not poured It out like water for the clilld'i Intellectual aud moral life? The Virginia democrats have done Mahoue a favor by raising such a fur­ ore. They have called attention to some of his good works, which perhaps would not have been notioed to auy considerable extent, were it not for their attacks; and these very works which the country will applaud are the ones most blttsrly attacked bjr hi* op­ ponents in his own state. Ttereare many things which Malione has done and muthods tie has employed to carry out his plans which northern republicans have not sanctioned, but while they may condemn these, they will accord him what help they can iu his efforts to educate the masses In his own state, nit hough the north is not pearly so vitally concerned in this work as Virginia 6hould be. The men aud party who, twenty years after the emancipation proclamation, talk about "niggerlng the state." when a step is taken to educate the blacks, deserve defeat and humiliation; and as Mahone lias demonstrated that lie Is the man to lead the opposition forces, lie may expcct hereafter a better support front the north than he has heretofore re­ ceived. $,arge veneered Panel Bt'tUlcad for igti# JM, 4. Mt . r But a little more than a year ago there was a great outburst of public feeling or. the mormon question, and the eyes of the millions were turned toward Utah, tl^at hot-bed of slu anil vice. The action of the commissioners under the Edmunda law for a time at­ tracted the Attention of tbo country, but now political matters farther east engross the attention of tlie public, Wiiile the foes of mormonism are ap­ parently oft their guard, the lynx-eyed elders and missionaries are active and vigilant. Front Great Britain to Scan­ dinavia they are bringing their con­ verts to help them In tlie great contest which they see coming when tlie "twin relic" will havo either to go down or coutrol our government.. These con­ verts are taken from the pauper classes but they evade the law against pauper emigration by being furnished with a small amount of ready money by the 'mormon leaders. Thns strengthened by hundreds, even thousands, of fresh recruits, Mormonism, which absolutely controls Utah, is spreading itself aud fastening its poisonous fangs on Neva­ da and Arizona, and will soou be able to control Idaho and Montana. The mormons act as a body, its members voting as the leaders direct. That the men who are spreading an evl> as great as slavery, will have to be cut out of our body politic, la an admitted con­ clusion; aud the longer the contest la deferred, the harder will lie the fight. But comm it will, and the sooner it cuuice tfcl «t» bo over. . Tbo It Is said by some ties, whose names 1 have cause I never knew ttiem,^ ancient council books of Galoway, Ifo. land, it is duly recorded thai In tHii- year of our Lord 1493 "Jmmm f&IQ** Mayor of Galway, liangeiJu'Mt out of the window for defrandtag Wt'l killing strangers, without HtaMjpnf common law, to show a good i to posterity." It seeins by the cliron!elo, tbat youngf Lynch had been sent to Spatu by Ilia father, the Maytfr, to purchase ft tesfgps of the wine that bitetlt like and stlngeth like a madder wlwil'H gireth its dye color bright in t|MI •»§»«"' But the young man wasted Irf4 §b|»» stance in riotous living and faredaWBfl- tuously three times a day and'fourW five tlines a night and spent all bl> money at the bar and In the faro room* before he bought his cargo. }lew«f«r, his rating was good, and he loailed Ma ship on a short credit, thirty.sixty Ink! ninety days, fifteen oil, and sailed joy­ ously for ho ininteuding to beat tho slate and say iiothiug to hlt fstlM* about the piper. But the credit mao of the concern didn't exactly ilk* tbo look of things, aud sent his nepfaevr along to collect tho money in Galway.
