It was during the litter part of the frtnumer of 1862, that I fouud myself holding the position of engineer on the Va. ani S. C. Railroad; , road at tha time held by the government, and ii.-cd for the transportation of soldiers nod military stores. I can assure you we were kept pretty busy io those days, having to run at any moment, iiii?ht or dav. wheueTer there wau oc casion for it, and we were always in reat danger, not only from the poor condition of the track, but from the guerrillas. Night and day we were liable to be called into active service, to we seldom enjoyed a ecatfou of rest even when it oatnc, briny, as we were, in comttaut drrd of call to our post. .This was always the ease with me, at I ast, nd I never wished to remain long away from the depot lest I should riiddenly be needed. It was twelve o'clock one Friday night that I rs taking a traiu up the rpaTXJharlington Mt. Pleasant. tour cars full ot armed men, re ctum ing to the latter place after a suc cessful raid, and knowiug that I must muke Vshort tuae," the gunge mood hih, showing the uuutmal pressure of neain JL was carrying. ' Wo had reached OliBton, aodwere stopping a UtIlehifeTorTefrebwienfev msl of the uienukiog their meals in the car, VfWu a "ingle engine steamed out from the side track on (o the main road. Tiii! engine was one of the largest on the road, and was called tho Vulture. She was a most powerful machine, and oould well vie in point of speed with uuy other one of our engine. My LHisher," howover, was considered without doubt, to be the fastcbt trav eler on the road, though not so pow erful by far as the Vulture. The euginecj of the Vulture was a oro, surly fellow, who was looked on with suspicion by many of the officers , but as we were short of experienced hands, and oould ill afford to lose him, be was allowed to keep his place. On this night I noticed that be seemed uncommonly surly, and 1 determined to watch him, especially as be was go ing up the road too, and would imme diately precede me. 1 felt that souio thisg was wrong, and this impressiou waa couBrmcd when I went over to the Vulture and saw how hig her guage stood. Inoticed also, that Nick Darky the engineer had no fireman ariyfeh'wrn evidently intended to uiako iho trip alone. It isnecssary to state here, that a cnuplo of long trains full of horses were expected down the track that night, and fhad received orders to awitch off and wait for them at the second station above Clinton. Weil we stated Nich aad I ho keeping but'a'short distance ahead of e,aad so near, that on a straight track Leonid see his tetiosa plainly.

I had asy atrwplea'agawet going 6nJtoo, for I had taVKfe of all oo'botrd in my -keep-4 inr. -atM? I k--itat any accYdtnt ' would be -oiC ty own rasaces?. Wc bad no conductors on our road io those times, and all responsibility for the safety of the traia devolved on the edgineer. I felt the responsibility of my position, but I knew that two full trains were coming down the road, and I believed that unless I did some thing to prevent it, Nick would cease the destruction of both. I had aeea him drink time and agaia from a bot tle he had in the engiae, I had aoticed how he threw the wood into the al ready overheated furnace, 1 had seen him fai-b-n down the escape valve, and 1 knew he was bent on something desperate. We were now dashing along at forty miles an hour, and many heads were thrust from the car windows to see what might be the matter, but not once did 1 slack up, not once dii I alter my mind in ita determination. "Cram in all wood you can, Dan," eaid to my fireman, "and ace me through this adventure. There is danger ahead." .Not a word did tho faithful darkey say, but he set his teeth firmly and tosfced in stick after stick of wood, while I closed every valve and care fully watched tho guage. It was u fearfully grand thing to be tearing through the darkness, with nothing between us and eternity save two tbin bars of iron, and we felt all the grandeur of it, too. No fear held us in check, for both of us had been in peril before on that road, and on that very engine. An unknown something told me that should soon know what Nick intend ed to do lie was putting in wood by the cord, it seemed, and crowding on steam as though he was mad. I felt it to be &n awful moment, and yet my heart did not fail me, nor did I allow a nervo to treiublc. The engineer, whose w bole life consists of one un ending peril, soon learns to keep bis nerves under control. We were now approaching a bridge which crowed a wide, deep stream. The rivor flowed under this bridge not more than three feet below the track, and the i-inirturc itself wai considered unsafe, 60 much so that all trains went over it a slowly aa a man usually walks. Both engines were on the bridge, which shook like an aspen. Suddenly Nick pulled the whistle-string of the Vulture, and a loud, unearthly shriek echoed Iroui hill to hill, as tho long pent-up steam found escape there. 1 strained my eyes ahead, and saw a boat containing two men waiting near the bridiio, on the bosom of the river. The next moment Nick sprang on the the top of his tender. In his hhnd he beM a rope, whieh I believed iras fastened at the other end to the lever. 1 was right. Ho gave a tug at the rope, jerking the lever way out, and the next moment dove into the water. With a bound that made the bridge bend, and nearly threw her from the track, the Vulture shot forward and went tearing up tho road. "Ah; I see it now!" I exclaimed, "Dan cut loose from tho traiu; we must catch that engine or blow our selves up." In an instant my order was executed, and I pulled the steam valve wide open. Forward we darted, like a bolt from a thunder cloud, making every timber on the engino crock, and th owing ourselves on the wood in the tender. Ou, on we dahed at such a rate of sjeed that it nearly took away our breath, over rails and cross ties, n grades aud down them, around curves,. over bridges, through cuts aud tunnels, and along the straight track. The Vulture tore over the road like an enraged fiend, aud we after her at only about two hundred yards distance. "Cram in more wood, aud pour oil on the Jre, Dan. for wf must over take the other engine if we would save Abe lives of those on the down trains." I could make tbe engine go no faster, but I could see that we were very slowly gainiug on tho Vulture. A lit tb more steam and we would be able to overtake her. On wo dashed, the wheels revolving like lightning, and the whole engine rockisg in a terrible manner. iMeveruia tnaeuae uiw fore. The machinery and axels were so hot that I feared something would give way every minute, aad I knew that if a single bolt should break it would hurl us into eternity. The boxes under the tender smoked as if on fire, the furnace was red hot, the brass work iu the engineer house was at a white beat, every curve might be our laet, for we were in danger of run ning off every moment, and our sensa tions were eueh at no pen can de scribe. We had traveled over ifteen miles of road in twelve ruinates, aad were now only about tea feet behind the iron fiend we were atr. It had been a temhW ride bat we were tatt ap proaching or goal. - "Dan, take the lews aad run the eegine, I am going to baareVtfct. VaJ tare. Don't slaok up until ye m an on her tender, and them step aa soon as yea eaa aad cool off the boiler bafbflBJawawmy QMokfcj stepping oat of the window, I vnade any way to the cowcatcher, aad raok np a position to spring at the proper time. It reqaired jsH asy strength to haag aa, hmt t Hack to any place like a leech. Still ve dashed a through the darkaese, aad-were eooa ithin three eat of tbe Vnltnm's tea der. A;hesty crouching dowa, a tad den spring forward, aad apward, aad I gxtned Vaangjag .ho4 "eto the raiiisg, on to the small pile of wood in the tender, aad jumped dowa iaaide. Jost as I did so, I heard the escape valve iy opea oa the "Dasher," then the whistle peeled forth iu note, and I saw that Daa was letting off steam and "checkiag ap." Springing iprward I jammed hard back on the lever, threw opea the furnace door, opened every e;cap valve aad took such other measures as were necessary to check the epeed, and get the boiler into a sate condition. When I bad done these things I care lessly glanced up the road, and there, not a mile away, I could see the lights of the approaching traia. I blew tbe stopping signal twice, and heard it an swered, before I felt that my night's hard work was done that the trains were out of danger. They came up to us and stopped. Dan and 1 told our stories to the as tonished passenger, and were thanked time aud again for what we bad done. Both of us, though, were so near worn out that men were deputed in our places, and the engines run back with out any labor of ours, save that of overseeing the work. We did not, however, get away until almost morn ing, so badly had the chase injured both engines, and it took oceans of oil so to speak to get them in running order again. When we got back to the bridge where I had left my train, we found Nick and the two other fellows under guard. They had been caught trying to get away, and we found that the whole thing was a well laid plan for the destruction of the two volunteer trains. The two other fellows were Nick's accomplices, who had been on hand to pick him out of the water. Nick's dive did not injure him much, and ho was aiterwarus court-martialed and shot as a deserter and spy. Afterward, when the "Da'shcr" was smashed up by being run off of a trestle work. I took charge of the Vulture, and made mfny trips in her. It is needless to say that Dan and I were allowed a wiiolo week of recrea tion after our hard night' k work chas ing the runaway iron-horto. LASOS AKS CAPITOL. The following is an extract from Senator Carpenter's speech of July 4th at Janesville, Wis : "Tho Declaration of Independence promises equality in regard to the pur $uit of happintu. Labor is the source of.all prosperity and happiness ; and equality in the pursuit of these re quires that every man shall be equally protected in respect to the fruits of his labor. This presents one of the most difficult problems of modern civ ilization an equitable adjustment be tween labor and capital. Take, for illustration, our inter-State commerce. Tbe farmer raises wheat ; the railroad transports it to an Kastero market; commission men handle 'and sell it to the consumer. Now the price which a bushel of wheat will command in the Now York market ought, upon equit able principles, to be distributed be tween the farmer who produces, the railroad company which transports, and the commission merchant who re ceives and sells it, in the exact propor tion in which each has contributed to the general result So io regard to any article manufactured. What the 'article is worth, when completed. ought to bu divided amoug all those who have contributed to its comple tion, in the exact proportion of the contribution of each to the final result. But this has never been tbe case.' La bor, in all countries, and at all times, has been the prey of capital, and how to relieve it from this oppression, and make all men equal in the pursuit of happioeNti, by nocuriug tu each tbe ex act and ju?t fruit of his labor, is the great problem to be solved before the pledge made in the Declaration of In dependence can be fully performed. This problem is replete with difficul ties, and ita solution requires a reor ganization of the business of the coun try. It must be attempted, too, with out the aid of precedents, and carried on against the efforts of capital, which is alaays alert and thoroughly organ ized. Tbe legislation of every country h s favored capitol at the expense of labor. Capital is protected and labor is taxed. There is a bond of sympathy between the rich, and the capital of New England sympathises and co-operates witn capital in every State of the Union. The attempt recently made in Congress to atrip fkmi our national banking system its feature of monopo ly touched in a tender spot every banker in the wad. I am happy to say to you, farmers of Bock county, what I did not know when I penned this address. By a dispatch I have received from Madison thia morning, I am informed that the jadgea of the Federal Court, Judge Daria, of the Supreme Comrt, Jadge Drnatmoad, the Carted States Circuit Jadge, aad Jadge Hopkins, the Dis-trwtJtdfle--who have tee holding Owartjoiay MaditowgwtTaV-aaf-poeeof eoewieriug this qaeetion of tee vaMky of the Potter law ea a modest applieatia from same mort gages er beadhelders'io ,iaer M i. jmsefiotoetJaifttfce 8tateofWie eeaeia from exeeatiag lie owa lews have pronoaaeed the Fetter lew en tirely raltd aad sSasiiiaiiinsJ ap- phwate, tJiieaaafwMBf the rights ef the people aad plntsmf itm aaea the fm teats of jodrUlavoeeetioe. Ap plause. J Capital state by its' fritodr, .and I rewards service mueiaoeatly. Labor, having been derraaded for ages, dis trust even its meads, aad pelled to make only a pensetioe for faithful service. are a few of the disadvantages aader which labor is entering into a contest which is destined to sheke this cooa try and the world. The Irst victories will bu on the side of capital, but the final result, in thio country et least, is not doubtful. Sooner or later the people will open their eyes and be wine; and evidenoes are multiplyiag on every hand that tbe unjust exactions of capital will be resisted until they shall be abandoned. The organisation of the trades anion reaching to tvery State end Territory; the more recent and far more power ful organization of farmers to resist the exactions of corporations engaged in tbe carrying business; the growing opposition of the masses of the people to monopoly io all it forms, and to legislation for the benefit of special classes and particular business inter ests; all those things betoken the join ing of an issue, and tbe beginning of a contest to settle the question whether tbe laborer shal1 be permitted to enjoy the fruits of his toil. Whom the gods mean to destroy they first make mad. ' The petulance and rage which capital is now mani festing at the firct steps taken by labor for its own protection, indicate that a monopoly is marked for destruction. Tbs cheering aspect of this contest is that labor outnumbers capital at tbe poll, and will ultimately assert its power. Capital, if wise, would yield gracefully, and deal justly; and if, re fusing to do this, it shall finally be shorn of some of its just rights, it will have iu own obstinacy to thanks for the result The first attempt of the people of Wisconsin to relieve themselves from the oppression of monopolies end fix within reasonable limits the cost of tram-porting our products to the sea board, has been met with defiance and insurrection ; and our railroads are operated to-day iu opposition to a valid law. The peuple are told that railroad companies will submit to reasonable regulations, but they, and not the peo ple, must be the judges of what are reasonable regulations. This will not do. Tbe sovereignty of the State must control its corporations, aud tbe people of the State, through legislatures of their choice, may, and must, determine what is reasonable comiiensation to be charged by railroad companies. And if the corporations persist in their at tempt to rule or ruin, they will only succeed in ruining themselves. I have referred to this subject, not for the purpose of arousing feeling uf on a local question, but becauc it i one of the elements, aud one of tbe earliest manifestations of a contest that is looming up and beginning to darken the land. The people of the whole country are looking anxiously to Wisconsin, to see whether in this first controversy between the people and the corporations, which is only a brauoh of tho general Btruegle between labor and capital, the people or tbe corporations, labor or capital will tri umph; whether a board of directors iu Wall street have more power than the Legislature of the State. Upon this contest depends many mighty questions ; whether under our free institutions this government of tho people, by the people, for the peo ple, tho rich can so manage as to fat ten forever upon tbe fruits of labor; whether the rich are to be forever growing richer, and tbe poor poorer; whether they who produce the wealth of the land must continue to live in poverty and want, while they who produce nothing aro to riot ia wealth and luxury; whether, in a word, to quote from our text, all men are to be made equal in the pursuit of happiness bv enjoying the legitimate fruits of their toil. A few words as to the manner of conducting this contest. They who stand upon tbe law must concede to their opponents the protection of the law. They who demand justice must render justice. In ttiis unexampled uprioiog of the people prudence should control. No oae derires to ruin tail road compaaieor other capitalists. It is simply iu tended that if they will not act justly they shall be made to. If railroad companies will not fix reason able rates, reasonable rates shall be fixed for them ; and when a law is made it shall be observed ; and its ob servance sbali be enforced as the ob servance of other laws Li enforced, by tbe judicial arm of tbe government. The whole people are interested to discountenance and prevent any law less aad violent proceedings against corporations. If they see fit to violate the law let us obey the law, and com pel them also, aad compel them by legal means. Rendering to them full protection for all their just rights, the people may demand the observance of their owa; aad thus we shall ooatieee to be a people governed aot, by vio lence, bat by law.

Thousands of dollars will be paid for professional opiaioas, and editors will be bribed to denounce every friend of the people acting from mercenary motives. This bad influence will be met by the power of the country press, which is conduct ed by those who will generally take tbe side of the people. The country press is happily becoming more aad more independent of city control, and yearly becoming more influential and powerful OTXCB. Sunday school teacher "Anna, what must one do in order to be for givsa?" Anna "He must sin." A Western critic speaks of "Baaion, the author of 'Pilgriau's Progress. " lie ought to go to the "foot." Refusal on the part of a Louisville husband to push the baby wagon on Sundays is to be made ground for a divorce. "Sponge baths" are recommended. The best way to get one is to go to some bath room, tak" a bath, and tell the proprietor to charge it Oae who has made human nature a study, says that when a girl takes her handkerchief and moistening it with her lips, wipes a black spot off a young man's nose, a wedding is inevitable. "Deserted by all but his aged bob tailed dog, his life went slowly out as tbe shadows of the setting sun crept over the front stoop of Darling's gro cery," is tho way they express them selves in Georgia. A Milwaukee boy has swallowed half a dozen steel buttons, and bis mother doesn't have to scream for him when he is out on the street playing with those Cluokersoo boys. She jmt brings a magnet to the door, and he flics to it like a needlo to the pole. A charitable man keeps e pair of dogs chained at his frontdoor, so that people who stop to "get a bito" can bo accommodated without taking the trouble to go into the house. It is a startling mystery how the prprnoe of an old maid and a bald beaded man will eatt a gloom over a picnic party which even pickled clams can only partially dispel.

A lady writer points out the fact ae worthy of note that "while the men who commit suicide are almost always unwarned, the women are married or widowed. This leads to the infereoou that while men cannot live without women, women find life unbearable with men." An old bachelor says that women are so fond of appearances that if yoa could make them believe that there were no looking-glasses in heaven, they would set no more value salvation than they do on a poor relatiou. The concert saloon girls of San Francisco have gained a victory, it having been decided that under tbe law that women can wait and attend in saloons as long as they do not dance and stner, "Mother may I go out to sing?
