THE RED DEVILS ;

BT AUGUSTUS COSISTOCK.
While the Army of the Potomnc was
encamped before Yorktown, our adniira.
tion was tifteD excited by the good con
duct of ihose hardy jotii Df ihe rifle, the
Dr:rdan Sharpfihooters.
These green jackets" were ever at
the post of duty ever on the alert.
Creeping among; the bbxdows of the
;each orchard, or xbt hoi lows of the ir
regular ground crouching b-hind stumps
and clusiers of shrubbery cue ui.ouieut
on their hai.da and knees, the next ex
tended upon their tacks in every possi
ble or inipo.-siMe position, they wouij
con'rive tt elud the enemy's pickets and
esiablistied themselres in dote proximity
to the rebel works.
Woe, then, to the unfortunate "gray
Lack7' whose head was raised ior a sec
ond above the parapets of his tarthly
foriificaiiiins. A dozen pair of eyes are
upon the tempting object a lozen rifles
ready to pounce upon their prey.
"Crack! crack! crack!'' followed by
ati ominous wbizziujj shriek. Poor fel
low, over he goes !
On a certain occasion one of the Sharp
shooters, a young man who had rendered
him-elf quite popular by the courage and
daring he had displayed in various tkir-
inUhes with the enemy, crept so close to
one of the forts .that be could plainly hear
the tread of the sentinels as they paced
to and fro upon their rounds.
He had ensconced himself behind a
log. the shadow of which he believed
would aflord him suflirient concealment,
notwithstanding the fact that a full moon
which had hitherto been concealed t y :
clouds, was shedding its rays upou the
surrounding scenery. '
While, with his ready rifle in his hand,
he was wau hing the parapets, the sudden
crack of muskets on his left saluted his
ears, and at the tame instant a bullet
grazed his temple.
Tom D instaatly glanced in the
direction cf the report and beheld the
forms of three rebels." who had just e
mergf d from a clump of shrubbery, run
ning toward him. The Sharpshooter
brought his piece to his shoulder, and
bringing the muzzle to bear upon the
nearest of his enemies, pulled the trig
ger. The discharge was instantly foN
lowed by a loud yell, as the rebel leaped
high in air and then tumbled he adlong to
the earth. Ere Tom could re-load, the
remaining two were upon him.
"Surrer.der !M tbey shouted, directing i
the points of their bayonets toward his
body. . .,
But the sharpshooter bad too often
found himself in situations of this kind
intimidated on the present occasion. So
clubbing his piece, with a movement
quick as lightning, he' struck one of his
enemies upon the head, knocking him to
the earth like a leg. Stepping back, as
ih other made a thrust at him, he turned
the pjint of the weapon asidwith his
piece, and then lushed forward; inverted
bis rifie, and dealt his antagonist a power
ful How between the eyes with the iron
bound block, which sent him reeling sense-
less to the ground by the side of his com-
Ami:

LIBERTY, AND UNION,
BROWNVILLE,
pariion., jTbe report of the diaxharged
weapons bad, of course, aroused- the in
mates of the fort, and a volley of mus
ketry now rolled along the para pets, send
ing showers of bullets about the person
of the daring sharp$hooter. The next
moment a large body of armed men is
sued forth, when Torn deemed it expedi
ent to fail back apoa the rendezvous of
his companions.
For some reason or other, which the
green-jackets could not then -understand,
the rebels did not attempt a charge upon
this occasion,' contenting themselves with
an exchange of '-shots,'', which resulted in
the loss "of a, few men on both sides.
Al ter the .expiration of a few hours the
eneiny. withdrew to the fortification, from
which they kept up a desultory fire with
some of their heavy pieces.
It was about twelve o'clock when Tom
B , having been relieved by his
friends, left the place for the purpose of
seeking some sp t where he could obtain
the repose which his previous' exertions
rendered necesiary. , He did not care to
return to the camp that night, as the way
was long and tedious ; besides being
guarded by sentinels whose troublesome
challenges he did uot wish to encounter!
A short walk cirried him to the bank
of the York river, where a small skiff,
lying upon the beach, seemed to invite
him to make it his loiging for the night
Peering into the boat, and perceiving
that it was dry, thei sharpshooter pro
ceeded to make his bed a .yet y simple
arrangement consisiing of a blanket and
an overcoat. There were two paddles
in the bow, which, .vvith the help of his
cartridge-box and cap Tom soon convert
ed. Then, with his valuable rifle by his
side, well sheltered from the dew by the
folds of his blanket, Le extended himself
npon, tiis luxurious couch and was soon
buried in a deep slumber, which, must
have lasted many hours,- for . when he
awoke he 'could perceive that; the sky
above hnn was tinged ' with the beams of
the rising sun. The next moment he
became sensible of a rocking motion
which pervaded the boat, while a; low,
nrphug triurmer saluted his ears,. He
raided hinueli upon his elbow, and an
exclamation , of surprise escaped him,
The fkifT was adrift in the river, aiid but
a few hundred yards from the heights of
York town.' He could see the Jark guns
krwilin'g cv ;r ihe parapets of the fortifi
cations, and also the rebel . sentinels as
they walked to and fro, wnh iheir bayo
nets glistening in lfa ' sunlight, while
till higher up, fastened to a tall staff,
he beheld the folds of the traitor flag
fluttering in the wind.
He thought he could distinguish a low
murmur, of voice, mingling with the
creaking of wheels and the tramping of
many feet, as though the rebels were en
gaged in secret preparations, though for
what purpose he was puzzled to deter
tiiinje. :
s These noises hdvvever suddenly ceased,
and while Tom was trying to account fcr
the circumstance, he saw a dark body
shoot upwards abqve tops of the trees in
the distance, and continue to ascend ma
jestically through the realms of spice.It
was ihe Federal balloon.
Ho ! "tio ! Johnny Reb," he muttered,
."that balloon ha's had tne .vonderful ef
fect of silencing you. I'd give something
'big' to know what you are about,-only I
can't stop to visit you at present. Your
infernal tides have played me a fine trick,
stealing a march upon me while I was
asleep, and carrying nie under the very
nose$ cf your guns a decidedly
ticklish position I'm in, so I must get of
it as quickly as I cau. Good-by, Johnny
Grayback?"
While thu3 muttering to himself, he
had b:en engaged in loading his rifle, and
the task being now completed, be seized
a paddle and commenced to ply it with
vigorous strokes, keeping the head of the
boat pointed in the direction of the side
of the shore occupied by the Federals,
which was about three miles from his
present position.
Scarcely ' had hs paddle touched the
water, however, when the report of a
dozen rifles coming from the shore upon
his right, announced that he had been
discovered by the pickets of the enemy,
who were stationed along the bank.
l "Missed your man, that ' time," cooly
muttered the sharpshooter, as the bullets
whistled over his head, and he continued
to ply the paddles with steady sirokes.
".The rascals are loading again," he ad
ded, glancing quietly toward the spot
where the rebels showed themselres up
on the edge of the bank.
The' next mortreat there was another
cra$,h of musketry, and a second storm
of bullets flew around bis head. While
the men -were employed in loading a
third time, however, Tom, raised his rifle
to his shoulder tnd and taking deliberate

aim at' the tallest of -the group, fired ths.
piece with his usual success. The rebel
threw up his hands and fell into the wa
ter. "
"ThatUl ao for the present, solilo
quized the rifleman, as he again turnvd
to his paddle. . Volley after volley was
now ired upon him until he was out of
range. Then, upon looking back, he
could sde tho enemy leaning upon their
pieces and shaking their fists at hitn with
menacing jeslures. . The next moment,
however, he beheld a large boat, manned
by a dozen of the rebels, shoot out from
a cove and move toward him. The oc
cupants were provided with oars, and the
powerful exertions they made evinced
their determination to overtake the fugi
tive. The greenjacket rose upright, and!
has!ily scanning the distance between
himself and the shore, on the one hand,
and that of his pursuers cn the other,
perceived that the latter ; would succeed
in reaching him long before he could ar
rive at the point of his destination.'
In this critical position. Tom decided
to raly upon his rifle. He loaded the
weapon, took deliberate aim at the ad
vancing boat, and fired. A loud yell of
pain and , the suspension of a couple of
the oars announced the effect of his shot.
Nevertheless, the remainder of the crew
continued their exertioasand the boai'kept
on its course, rapidly shortening the dis
tance between it and the skiff of the
sharpshooter. But the latter quickly re
loaded his rifle, and again -pointed the
death-dealing tube apon his pursuers.
The sharp report of his piece rang upon
the morning air, and was followed by a
second cry of agony from the advancing
boat, while another pair of oars hung
usel ss over her side. The compact po
sition of the enemy afforded Tom an op
portunity of "picking off" more than one
of his enemies at every shot ; and, as the
crew had not brought their muskets with
them, they were unable to avenge the
loss of their companions. But the yells
and execrations, which now broke from
their lips warned the daring rifleman of
the fate in store for him should he tall
into the hands of the enraged "gray
tacks." Fully realizing the- dagger of jii-po
sition, though not in tho least unnerved
by it, he continued to load and fire with
rapidity and at the same time with the
steady coolness which always character
ized his movements. Every s,hot told
with feaiful effect, and by this time the
craft was within a hundred yards of that
occupied by the Sharpshooter, there were
but five men . remaining', and those had
thrown themselves into the bottom of the
boat, hoping thus to escape the unerring
contents of the long iifle which was arrain
bearing upon them. Bat as the sharp
ominous crack of the piece rattled upon
the air, one of them threw up his hands
and rolled over on his back. Four men
were now ail who remained in the boat
capable of performing duty, and it was
evident that they were panic stricken by
the fearful effect of the rifleman's fire,
for al'hough they grasped the handles of
their oars they did not full a stroke. In
the meantime Tom proceeded to reload,
and the next inomeut had raised his piece
for aaother shot, when one of the men
waved a white handkerchief about his
head and shouted:
"Stop your firing, for God's sake, and
leave some of .us to. carry our dead and
wounded to the shore."
"Certainly!" replied' Tom,-as he re
placed his rifle in the bottom of the skiff.
Good-by l'5
The rebels now turned their boat's
head towards the shore they had left, and
pulled rapidly away, while the sharp
shooter resumed his paddle, directing the
little craft toward the Federal side of
the river, where he -arrived without fur
thei opposition, and related his adventure
to his comrades.
A few days afterward the news of tb.9
evacuation of lorktown -spread like
wildfire through the army, and Tom B
was no longer at a loss to understand the
meaning of the noises he heard while
floating under the guns of the rebel for
tifications. Th? preparations for depar
ture had been commenced even then, but
were ingeniously concealed from the ob
servations of the Federal aeronauts.
It is said that some of the vermin in
the camps at the South thrive so wonder
fully and have grown so large that the
letters "I. F. W." are plainly to be seen
on their backs, like ths creases in the
shell of an old-fashioned mudVturtle.

APRIL 7, 1864.
GENERAL GRANT.
Gen. Grant was born at Point Plea
sant, Clermont county, Ohio, on the 27th
day of April, 1S22, and is consequently
only ia his forty-second year. His fath
er, Jesse R. Grant, a tanner by trade, is
a cative of Pennsylvania, and was born
ia Westmoreland county in 1794, and i3
now living at Covington, Kentucky. " The
Grant family is ol Scotch extraction.
In the early part of the sixteenth cen
tury two brothers emigralpd from Scot
land to the colonies. One settled in
Connecticut and the other in New Jer
y. From the one who located in the
i n iuvt Lo'oijy 1i?tc sprung thesG.-ants of
the North, and from the one in the latter
the Grants of the Suuth. -
The mother of Gen. Grant was Han
nah Simpson, a woman remarkable for
good sense, attention to her domestic
duties, and serious Christian character,
blended with easy manners. She is a
type 'of the mothers who produced the
heroes of the Revolution. In JS18 she
removed, with her father, John Simpson,
from Montgomery county, Pennsylvania,
where she was born, to Clermont county,
Ohio, and was wedded in June. 1S21, to
her present husband. Ulysses is the
first child born of that marriage, and the
"8," in his . name stands for Simpson,
the name of his mother's family. It is
significant, however, . that the Jntials
TJ. S." stand for the United States and
'Unconditional' Surrender," .by which
sobriquet he is so well and popularly
known in the army.
Jesse R.Grant emigrated with ; his
father's family to the Northwestern Ter
ritory in 17D9, and settled in what is now
Columbia county, Ohio. In ISO! the
family removed to Deerfield, in what is
now Portage county, i i Jesse subsequent
ly went to Ravenna, and for a few years
carried on a tannery there. In 1S20 he
located iu southwestern Ohio, where, as
we have seen, his illustrious son was
born. - - ' '
In father and son' that mixture of cor
diality with reserve, of resolution with
caution, and earnestness with soberness
so prominent in Scotch character, are so
striking that one might reckon on a more
:mrr.ediat-? foreign extraction. Like his
traitorous opponent, Joe Johnston, though
American for several generations, Gen
eral Grant is Scotch in many of his
qualities. In his boyhood he always
exhibited a business turn, and was never
witheut some particular purpose in hand
requiring responsibility, perserverance,
and zeal serious enough for'one mature
in years. An incident in point will illus
trate this.
At the age of twelve he aspired to the
management of his father's draught team,
and was entrusted with it for the pur
pose of hauling some heavy hewed logs,
which were to be loaded with ihe aid of
levers and the usual appliances by sever
al stout men. He came with his team
and found the logs; but not the men. A
boy .of more imaginative, genius, and of
equal but differently directed contrivance
might have laid down to listen or dream,
or build houses of. chips. Ndt so with
this boy, who, unlike others, acted upon
the idea that where there was a will
there wus a way, and hesitated not at
the undertaking. Observing a fallen
tree, having a gradual upward slope, he
unhitched his horsTes, attached thera to a
log, drew it horizontally to the tree, and
then drew one end of it up the inclined
trim!!, higher than the wagon: truck, and
so as to protect a few feet over, and thus
Continued to operate until he had brought
several to this position. Next he backed
the wagon under the projecting ends,
and finally, one by one, hitched to and'
drew the logs lengthwise across the fall-!
en trunk on to his waenn, hitched up
again, and relumed with his load to his
astonished father.
This anecdote is well remembered by
old citizens of Georgeton, Brown county,
Ohio, where Grant spent his early boy
hood. This incident, being similar to
many others, will not admit of any inter
pretation other than evidencing an origi
nal and uncommon power ol adapting
measures to conditions.
Rev. G. D. of Fayette county.
Arkansas, one of the genuine forest born
orators, preaching not long since, on
the glory of the saints delivered lbs fol
lowing burst of native, which is to good
to be lost: Who, mybrethran, can des
cribe the glory of a saint? Why, nothing
on earth can liken it. If you" drill a ho!e

for a crcwn, and split the moon in sunder
and put the pieces on your sholders for

curtain of the skies and wrap it arouad

NO. 31.
For the last forty year3 Eastern Ten
nessee has been cursed with an aristoc
racy, whose headquarters has been
sticking out whenever a family owned
from three to ten kinky-headed negroes.
This was an aristocracy founded alone
upon the nigger, and so far ha3 it car
ried its insolence for years, that when
one of these'upper tens would speaks to
the wife or daughber of an honest
machanicor a decent laboring man, they
have regarded their act cf speaking
as one cf great eondecension!
It was not sufficient for the World to
know that thes high-flyers were the de-
jtejr.' -.-is, in a direct nue. trom some
ol ! foreigners who had been-' soM-nn
upon shares to pay their passage to this
country! It was not sufficient to ' knovV
that their illustrious predecessors had
taken their start in life by pebdiing pins
and nedles, by spading up gardens for
other people, or by entering other peo
ple's lands, and, by hook or by crook, se
curing, their titles.
Through th mercy cf God, the firm
ness of Mr '. Lincoln, and the madness of
the Southern Confedracy, we are all a
bout to find a common levrl, when we can
at least boast that the Lord is the maker
of us all. He has not heretofore been
he tiiaker ofus all, but the time3 are
changing! It will require lamp3 and
gas light in day-time to find the aristoc
racy of this town. The dirtiest branch
of the concern is following ia the rear
of Longstreet's army; some cf thera are

A gentleman came to Hartford to at
tend a Convention in 'ft public hill.
He reached the building ia which . tLe
Hall is situated but found it difficult to
discorer the meeting, being puzzled by
winding stares. He " opeud various
doors. on his way up, without getting the
right one. Now it, sohappens that a
suit of rooms in the building i3 occupied
by a man and his wife. The wife was
in her bedroom, which leads from the
hallway taking a bath and was therefore
not in a proper dress to receive a vis
itor ia her natural Eve custome, when
the rural gentleman opened the door to
her room, which she had neglected to
lock. He had got within the doorway
before ihe lady discovered him, and he
was so astonished that he 'moved nei

the time pretty liveiy in gathering up
some articles of apparal about her per
son. All of a sudden the wondering
mortal at the door hurst out: Midarn,

abroad; and the people in that vicinity
began to call on the old man to see the

"taown" was stopping awhile in the
village, and hearing of the "porcine,"'
and so much said about it, desired to see
the sight, and having obtained directions
as to the "locale," started for the spot:
Arrived there he met the old gentleman
and inquired about tha "animile."
"Wall, yes," the old fellow said; "he'd
got such" i" critter; rai'ty big'ua; but he
guessed he'd have to charge hira about a
