Ho Hinil-'d asid nodded with an exceedingly knowing look, and was preparing h) jtrk) himticlf comfortably iu his Beat naiu, when I tapped him upon the shoulder and said: MixciiH'.f lac, sir, hut whit has occurred:' The conductor's explanation in Chine.-e to ine. What does he mean by tho tracks bein:; ,iled?" The sen I Ionian turned ab.uit !id laced me -"It ina fiuiple matter," he said, eoiirteously, "to Hioho who have an idea of railroa 1 affairs. Tho jiower of an engine depends upon tho friction of the drivers on the tracks taking hold, as i: is called. If there is oil upon tho rail, especially upon an up-grado, there i no " ' -1 J . T . Z 1 upon tlie tracks without moving the train." "Ah," said I, "I comprehend." "I could illustrate the case by an event which occurred to mo upon this very t pot some years ago. I have always thought it a rather re markable incident, and perhaps you may lind it ho. Tho circumstance I refer to," he contei uod, "took place during the war. I was at t 10 time adjutant upon Gen. Thomas' stah uui ii.g tho exciting and momentous campaign in tho mountains of Tennessee If you remember, there were many times when it was feared that our hour had come. Our conimimiea'.iuMS wero repeatedly cut off and our w hole com mand in .danger of instant destruction. It was at one of those crises that the event I am going to relate occurrco. . "Wo were at this timo intrenched upon a spur of tho hills around Chattanooga, whither we had been driven by tho desperate courage af the Confederates. Our own man had fought bravely and well, but they were exhaust -d w ith long marches and constant action. Oar stores had run low, and but one lino of com munication was left open to us that of the railroad into tho eastern part of the state. J,y a brilliant llank movement tho Confederates succeeded in throwin;r a lino across this otic highway; and thero we were, hemmed in like a woodchuek in his burrow. Starvation or surrender stared us in tho face. One or tho other of the-so alternatives wo must accept in a few days at most, unless somo unexpected changotook place very speedily. It "is, perhaps, difficult for us to compre hend tho feelings of a commander, hitherto successful, and with tho fate, perhaps, of a nation depending upon his ifltion, placed in such a position as our general then wa. I saw his lace grow hourly moro pale and de spairing, ins step slower ana more i-Oi-ie, ami his whole air that of a man whoso heart :il:d spir ViOio breaking uniter ino strain. JmH U'iioiii is was not the m;in to vicld until every resource hud been Mumdod to the l ott.cii. Am? there wan one resource yet loft a dc.'.cr ato HU-.l almost hope-lens one, it is true. 'lV.rtv miles to the eastward of us lay Stc;;--tou's cunu:iniiu of ni ariy thirty thousand men,' BcrcaeU niKMiieions of our dansrer anil tiieir own. iSt-veral days before, Stockton hud hern directed t. occupy a paas in t!;e mountains on tho left, r.nd to hold it until further orders. Of course, uuawaro of the prodicament o. '.ho main army, ho would make no movenieti! to our relief. Communications were now cut o'.T, and it seemed a matter of utter impossibility to rocpen them through tho heavy liuo of Con federates which lay across tho railroad. Thomas, however, determined to try ii, and I was selected for tho dangerous, but houoraUj. dutv of the attempt "We had reason to suppose that tho enemy bad not destroyed tho railroad, and that if v. e wero not captured at tho ouNet we miyht Ret an engine through to Kaaakia,stahon, where Ktockton lav, "At half-nast 10 niv orders wore Riven me. and I mounted the engine, which was either to carry ine to my death or to save the nrny. It was not a powerful machine, but it was the nest ai our uisposai, auu 111 wa oruur, iiiruiu atelv. One of our men. wdio had been an on gineer, undertook to manage tiio engine, and ano'ner to lire it. isotn were com, ir:eu moH, but as we stepped into tho cab logetner, 1 saw them shako hands with tbeir comrades and l id them farcwelL Evidently neither of them ex Dected to tret through alive. " 'Put in a couple of extra tallow cans, John,' said tho engineer. Ve are going in to make time, and I expect the old machine will heat u: finely.' m "The cans were stowed awi.y in the caboose the engineer opened tho throttle-valve, and amidst an impressive silence in the crowd sur rounding the starting point, we moved slowly awav. About two miles distant lay tho first battery which the enemy bad thrown up ' to command the road; beyond that were several more, to say nothiug ot tho picket hues scattered along tho tracks. So you will per eive wo were to run a pretty waim gaur.t.e. "We had procooded out a very short dis tance when there was a tiash end report from the shrubbery skirting tho road, and a bullet crashed through tho window ot tne can. An outpost hud already discovered us, and had civen us a foretaste of what we were to expect further on. "'Let her out!' I said to tho engineer. There is - no uso in trying to hide ourselves. Speed is our only chance now.' "'very good, sir!' replied tho engineer. opening tho valvo as he spoke. The engine bounded like a spurred iiorso. On wo went. swaying from side to side, until it seemed as if we must jump tno track. Jleauwniie, our fnenus along tno road wero were not idle. Llullot after bullet whistled by us; but for tunately, what with the darkness and the rapidity cf our motion, ncno of them reached U3. wo nau now arrived in sight of tiie first battery. Ey the lights moving hurriedly along "the parapet, it was obvious that onr Ap proach was expected. As we passed abreast of the battery, it gave us its first corapamont in the shape cf a round shot, followed by a storm of grape. H-cro, again, the darkness and our speed saved us. Sevxral of the grcpe shot glanced otf tho frame of tho engine with out doing miv damage, however. " 'Give her some moro fire, John,' said the engineer, grimly. 'If they happen to knock a hole in us Willi ono or them bits 01 iron, you won't do no more firing, my boy, I can tell you thnf 'Not in this world, any way,' responded the fireman, with saturnine Iminor. (Jan t tell whns I may do in the next, William.' Tho recklosB bravery of tho two men in tho face of such danger nhamed away my own arising tremor, and I f .d my ctnij and looked towards the battery, which wos evidently j.ys rariug to give us another salute. It en mo in tho shape of a conical shot, with ko true aa aim th.it t whinze.l wl'hin a foot of tho boilc-r. and carried off the bell, whicL fell with aci&Rg among the bushes. 'U hank yon,' said the engineer, with grtti, 'vt& flidu't need the bell, anyhow. You can usa it yomst-lve-j to ruig to ihnner widi.' Uy this timo we had passed onr; of rnngo of the first battery, and we were under the guns cf two more. ' Thei works had boon con structed to enioniaml the jnnet'ou of onr r aj with autther running touth. 'J iifre v, is aVo a stitiou at this point, t.nd as we whirled by, I saw r.n ei.xino standing upua a sid.ng wiih steam l:p. I caught eight of a nunb..r of Wen running toward it, rs well as others ln-y with a ear which stood near it. What they w"ie at I eonid not make out, for wo pascd theui like a Hash of liphtning. At this m.-raent too, the balt?rioH, which had probably rec- ivod telegraphic notice of our approach, opened lire npon in, and for a moment tho air eucmod to be uivj with f-lirM;iiig iron. " 'Jlore lire, Jolm, critHl tho engineer; 'ram lor full to the doors, or it's all up with us.' Tlie lireman stopped to obey, but at that moment a eLidl struck ntwn tia enbuoso and onrHi within tnveo icov oi n. n "r. ieu lueli mounter, nd bow any of ua eaeaped alive I fail to hoc. Am it wat when Ithu Rinoko and durit cleared away, I found tho top of tho cab one, a portion of tho caboose torn off, nnd tho lireman lying iu a heap on tho Hoar, with hia arm broken. " Mm knocked out, William,' ho croaned, 'mid ho'H to fire her for the rest of the trip.' I will,' said I; 'I think I eau loanao it.' "Aft'T plaeing tha jifxir fellow in hh cora forlal'lo a position as pos.ulil-', I rieizod tho shovel and began my new duties.

Heaven forgive me! but wi:h what interest I waited for some crash or outcry which should signal tho destruction of our pursuers. In a moment more there was a sharp eking along the rails behind us, and a crackling among the bushes lining the road. '.-.he has kicked it off,' said the engineer. 'Try my heavy overcoat, I've known a piecj of ciotii like that to get among the wheels and jam them so that you couldn't stir them an inch. . "I did as directed.
