There was only a handful of my company left, and as I reached the summit of the hill which skirts Its eastern bank I turned to see if the Federals—who had been hotly pur suing us—were in view. As I did so 1 observed a man wearing the uniform of a Confederate officer ride slowly along the precipitous side of the stream oppo site us, and evidently searching for a crossing. “At this moment a long steel tipped blue line of Federal infantry crowned the hill above, in full view and within easy range of the horseman. Apparent ly abandoning all hope of escape, the latter turned and rode directly toward the enemy’s line. As wo watched him, breathless with anxiety lest the signal of surrender should be too long delayed, ho suddenly wheeled about, put spurs to his horse, and dashing down the de clivity cleared the stream with abound Not a shot was fired at the bold rider As he reached the opposite bunk a spoil taueous shout went up from the whole line—a generous tribute from the hruve to tiie brave.

Many Lombard street goldsmiths and bankers had lent out the money intrusted to them, and being called upon for pay ment were unable to meet the demand.
