At lengtli we reached tlie Etowah river and safely passed over the great bridge at that iKiint. No stop was made, though the first serious cane for anxiety wits here visible. Hitherto every .hing had worked exactly a we had calculated, and our confidence iu our leader and in final success was corresjHinlingly increased; but on a side track which connected with u little branch road that ran up the river about five miles to the Etowah iron works and rolling mills, there stood a locomotive! It was but a short distance from as, and the smoke from the funnel showed too plainly that it was ready for work, thus constituting an element of the most dangerous character which had not lieen embraced in our calculations. It was named the Yonah a private en gine ued by the owners of the works for their own purpo;es. Thoroughly as An drews had explored the road, he had no knowledge of its existence until the mo ment when he saw it standing on the side track not a dozen yards away, and looking as if it was ready to enter upon a raco with our General on equal terms. It was still thirteen miles to Kingston, and the enemy, if there was any direct pur suit, would be able to get an engine there much sooner than we had supposed possi ble. Several men were gathered about it, but not enough to make an assault seem very formidable to our party. At the first sight. Knight said to Andrews, ''We had better destroy that and the big bridge," but Andrews refused with the remark, 'It won't make any difference." Nearly all critics of the expedition who knew of the presence of this locomotive for a long time I did not, as I was shut up in the box car are disposed to think that here Andrews made a most unac countable mistake. But this is far froiii certain. It must be remembered that the burn- ing of this bridge formed no part of An drews' original plan, and could have ac complished nothing innr." toward the furthering of Mitchel's plans than the burning of the Oostenaula bridge. The local freight train was cow due, and if it came in sight while we were engaged in destroying the Yonah, or the bridge, and getting the alarm, as would be almost Inevitable under the circumstances, should get away from us and run back to Kingston, or should run on us and cause a wreck, our situation would be far worse than with this engine left behind us. But even if we could be assured that the local would not come, but remain for us at Kingston, still the attack here would alarm the enemy, and we would be fol lowed from this point as readily as from Big Shanty, but eighteen miles further tir; the road. It would be but little more than an hour's gallop to Kingston, where a train for pursuit would surely be found. The eipt ure at Big Shanty assured us of a longer start under any circumstances than seemed possible if we stopped to strike a blow here. Leaving the engine and bridge behind, we glided on through Cartersville, a town of considerable size, where there were many disappointed passengers on the platform, ami continued without incident until we reached Cass station. The town f Cassville is some distance from the railroad, but the station was important for us as the regular place for taking on wood and water. Here we stopped and began to wood up. William Russel, the tender, was naturally curious about the appearance of such a small train running on the time of the morning mail, with no passengers and none of the regular hands. Here Andrews told a most adroit and carefully planned story, with enough of foundation to make it probable. He claimed to have been sent by Gen. Beau regard, who was in 'desperate straits for ammunition, to impress a train, have it loaded with powder and run it through at lightning speed. Had he leen pressed more closely, he could have produced passes proving himself worthy of belief. But it was not necessary to go so far. The very appearance of Andrews, tall, commanding and perfectly self possessed, speaking like one who had long been ac customed to authority, was so much like the ideal southern officer that missel's credence was won at once, lie knew very well that after such a battle as Pittsburg Landing it was natural that powder should be scarce, and if it did not come at once, what more natural than to send for it? Seeing the impression that he had made, Andrews, who, of course, did not work at throwing on wood, but left that to his companions, asked if he could not be supplied with a schedule of the road, as it might be useful. Russel, in his patriotic fervor, took down and handed out his owu schedule, saying that he would "send his shirt to Beauregard" if the latter wanted it! When asked after ward if he did not suspect a man who made such an unreasonable demand he answered: "No; I would as soon have suspected Jefferson Davis himself as one who talked with the assurance that An drews did.-' We were now within seven miles ot Fiugston, resnpplied with wood and water, without having met the slightest hindrance and with a full schedule of the road. But at Kingston we had more rea son to apprehend danger than anywhero else along the route. A branch road from Rome connected there with the main track, and the morning train from that town would be awaiting our arrivaL This, with the local freight which we noped to meet ana the complicated arrangement of the switches, would con stitute no small obstacle to our onward progress. The real difficulties surpassed expectations. Andrews had made him self familiar with the minutest working of the road at this point, as also at Dal ton and Chattanooga, and we would soon be able to see how he would overcome the hindrances in his way. We reached Kingston a little ahead of time. A glance showed us that the local freight had not yet arrived. Without the slightest hesitation Andrews ran a few hundred yards past the station, and or dered the switch tender to arrange the switch so as to throw us on the sidetrack; then we backed ont on it, stopping on the west side of the station, and almost di rectly alongside of the Rome passenger train, then lying on its own track, which joined the main line still farther north. This train was expecting the coming of Fuller's mail, and of course the arrival of our partial train in the place of the one they were expecting was a matter of the greatest interest to them. The engineer stepped over to our locomotive and said, with an oath: How is this? What's up! Here's their ; eagine with none of their men on boardL fortunately Andrews was just at hand and promptly replied, "I have taken this train by government authority to run am munition through to Gen. Beauregard, who must have it at once." He waved his hand toward the car in wmen we were snui up (representing mo powder!), and they inquired no further in wluch we were shut up (representing the i that direction, but simply asked when tho passenger train would be along. Andrews responded indifferently that he could not tell exactly, but supposed it would not be a great while, as they were getting out another train when he left Atlanta. With this cold comfort they were obb'gcd to bo contented, and Andrews, leaving the en gine in care of his three comrades, went into the telegraph office, which was on the side of the depot next us, and asked, "What is the matter with the local freight that it is not here?" He was shown a telegraph dispatch for Fuller, ordering him to wait at this point for its coming an indication that it was not verv far away. This was the only infor mation vouchsafed to us by the manage ment of the road during the whole of thai eventful day! Andrews returned to his engine, and stood there, or walked about on the end of the platform near by during the tedious moments of waiting. He did not seek to enter into conversation with any one. but quietly answered any questions akcd. He appeared attracted aud a little anxious, as was natural for one running an express ammunition train, on which the safety of an army might depend! It was fortuuate that his real and assumed characters were so much in hnrmony. Brown, Knight and Wilson attended to their engine, seeing that all was in good order with a reasonable head of steam, aud refrained, as far as they could, from any kind of conversation, answering all demands in monosyllables. Their position during this enforced stop was embarrass ing, but far less painful thau ours iu the box car. We could hear low murmurs outside, wo knew that we were at a sta tion, and alongside another train, and could hear the tread of feet; but wc could not learn why we did not press on. A thousand conjectures will spring up at such times; and the possibilities of our situation were ample enough for all kinds of imagiuing. We had a tolerably high estimate of our fighting power, and did not doubt that we could capture any or dinary train, or the usual crowd around a village station. But to be shut up in the dark, while for aught we knew the enemy might be concentrating an over whelming force against us, was exceed ingly trying, aud put the implicit confi dence wo had in our leader to a very se vere test. There was no precaution An drews had neglected probably because he trusted so fully in his owu marvelous geuius but the need of which was felt keenly afterward. No lieutenant was ap pointed. One who could have taken charge of the men, leaving Andrews free to plan and give general directions, would have been a support to us now and a help to all of us later. With George D. Wil son or some other of the soldiers as au thorized second, the force would have been in better fighting trim, and, what is of still more importance, Andrews would have felt more free to order the capture of any pursuing train. But at present we had nothing to do but wait till the road was cleared for us. Before suspense became intolerable the whistle of an approaching train was heard, and the local freight rumbled up to the eastern side of the depot and stopped on the main track. Andrews made haste to begin the inevitable con versation, lie went over aud spoke to the conductor, telling him to pull his train, which was quite long, on down the read so that we might get out of the switch and proceed ou our way, adding the same powder story. This conductor saw that Andrews was treated with marked deference by the people about the station, and did not hesitate to believe his story and obey the order. Bat before he had moved his train Andrews noticed a red flag on the hind car, and at once ex claimed: "What does this mean? I am ordered to get this powder through to Beauregard at the earliest possible mo ment, and now you are signaling for an other train on the track!" No doubt An drews felt all the vexation he expressed. The man said he was very sorry, but it could not be helped; and then he gave the reason, which was a startling piece of in telligence. Mitchel had captured Hunts villc and was said to be advancing east ward toward Chattanooga by forced marches; and as they had no force to re sist him, they were running everything out of Chattanooga, and bad put a large extra train on the track to get the rolling stock, as weU as the goods, out of the way. Andrews thanked him for the in formation, and told him to go a long way down the road so that the extra would have room enough to get by, adding, "I must be off the very first minute that is possible." The conductor made no ob jection, but asked, "What will you do about Mitchel at Huntsville?" Andrews replied: "I do not believe the story. Mitchel would not le fool enough to run down there, but if he is. Beauregard will soon sweep him out of the road. At any rate I have my orders." The train was pulled down the road, and the tedious pro cess of waiting continued. CHAPTER VL PURSUED. While the momeuts are dragging their leaden weight along as the three traiai rest on separate tracks at Kingston, it may le well to narrate the experiences of thj-e whose engine was unceremoniously wrested from them at Big Shantv. We had counted on a great commotion and excitement following the seizure, and in this we were fully warranted; but we nlso believed that for some little time no one would know what to do. In this we weie mistaken. The absence of a tele rapn omce or engine, or even or any horses, did utterly confound the great. majority; out a fortunate mis take on the part of one man served the Con federate cause better than the deepest calcula tion could have done; in fact, gave rise to the thrilling railroad chase that fol lowed. Conduc iui "" ' CAPT. W. A. FULLEK. gmeer Cain and (From war tlme p!l0to. the foreman of graph.) the road machine shops, Mr. Anthony Murphy, sat down to the breakfast table not far apart. Before they had tasted a mouthful, however, the sound of escaping steam, the loud whir of the wheels on the track and the outcry that rose in a moment from guards and camp, brought them and all the breakfasters to their feet. By this time the locomotive had started, and Fuller and Murphy, with loud exclamations about the robbery of the train, rushed pell mell with every body else out on the platform, the passengers who had been uncoupled and left on the road not being behind others in their complaints and uproar. The whole camp also was in a turmoil. A single glance around showed Fuller that there was no chance for help there; and being a man of quick thought his mind fastened on an idea utterly wrong as it proved but which had the merit of put ting him vigorously to work The near est guard declared that only four men were engaged in the capture he had only seen those that mounted the engine and others corroborated him. Fuller remem bered the conscripts he had been warned to watch for, and at once the thought flashed across his mind, "Some of those men, one of whom happened to know enongh of an engine to pull open the throttle, have jumped on my train to get ont of camp, and as soon as they are out side they will leave the engine' and run into the mountains. I must follow as fast as possible and try to get it back be fore I get very badly out of time." The presence of Mr. Anthony Murphy that morning was purely accidental. He was going to examine an engine at Alla toona reported out of order. As an officer of high authority on the road, command ing all engineers and firemen, knowing all the engines and everything about the road perfectly, his presence at that time was most unfortunate for us. - He was a man of great coolness and good judgment His. first action was far-sighted. He sent Mr. William Kendrick on horseback to Mari etta to notify th superintendent at At- lanta by wire. Mr. Kendrick arrived in time to hold a freight train there till orders were flashed back to drop all cars but one, run up to Big Shanty, load on soldiers and pursue with all speed. This was the first train in chase. A message was also sent from Marietta to Richmond, i ",; " -----, but no result followed that. My opinion is that Andrews had in some way ar- ranged for cutting the wire between Chat- tauooga and Rnoxville, which was the I only route by which the message could have gone around and got on the line of the Western and Atlantic railroad ahead of us. Had these been the only measures of pursuit wise and judicious as they were our task would have been easy. Bat Fuller's error and his ardent tempera ment prompted to another course. He had called Murphy and Cain. "Come on with me:" they promptly followed and the three of them started at a dead run up the track. The spectacle of three men running vigorously after a flying engine, as if they expected to catch it, instantly restored the mob to good humor, and they cheered aud shouted with laughter! What would have been the fate of these runners if they had overtaken us at the first stop, where we cut wire and ob structed the track, it is needless to in quire. They would have hardly begun such a chase had they not entirely under estimated our number, as well as mis taken our purpose. The Atlanta Southern Confederacy of the next day, In an article lull of panic, written before the issue was determined, speaks of us as "some four men jet unknown." The different running powers of the pursuers were soon made evident in this apparently hopeless chase. Fuller was extraordinarily fleet aud of great endur ance. His companions were equally zealous but less able for running. They were, therefore, soon spread out for a considerable distance. While putting iu his best efforts, Fuller shouted back en couragement to his comrades, but did not wait. The hope of gettiug his traiu soon was too strong, aud he also feared thut the reckless men who had taken it might do some injury to the engine before he could come up. The idea that they might offer any resistance did uot enter his mind. But the chase could not long have con tinued in this manner, for human muscles cannot be pitted successfully against steam. The labored breath aud the de creasing pace of the runners showed that they were well nigh exhausted; and as curve after curve was rounded for with the instinct of railroad men they clung to the track they grew discouraged; but just lefore their "second wind" was ex hausted, they received both help aud re newed excitement. They came to Moon's station, some two miles from the place of starting, and have never been able to make even a plausible conjecture of the time consumed in this first stage of the jour ney: but it is certain that it was just as little as straining muscles and iron could well make it. Here they learned from the track laying party that some of their tools had been "borrowed," and a short distance beyond some ties placed on the track and the telegraph cut. This was our first halt, and the track had been obstructed that a traiu coming from Atlanta might be hin dered. The pursuers here found a hand cav not one of the elaborate machine . cars, which may be driven at great speed, but what Fuller termed a "pole car." It was at once pressed iuto service and gave a welcome rest. Fuller ran it back a lit tle way and picked up his companions, who were behind, then drove forward as fast as the construction of the car would permit. Pushing with a loug pole in flat boat fashion, quite rapid time could be made on the level and on down grades, while on the steep up grades two would jump off and push at a full run. At Aekworth they got a re-enforcement of two men, Mr. Smith and Mr. Stockely, and hurried forward. All idea that they were following conscripts had now been given up. They had learned that the cap tors had been seen oiling their engine, as i preparing for a long ruu, aud seeming to perfectly understand their work. Fuller and Murphy were now able, for the firsf time, to consult about their plans. We were running on regular time a circum stance that they had noted in the reports received from the different stations and that time was only sixteen miles per hour which meant two hours to Kingston. They were making seven or eight mile on the pole car, and that, if kept up (it was the utmost they could do), would bring them to Etowah in two or three hours from the start. "Then if," Fnllei contiuued, "we can find the old Yonah ready at our end of the branch, we can take her and run up to Kingston in tifteeu minutes more. There are to le some extra trains on the road today that will bother the scoundrels up there, and the chances are that wc will overhaul them at that place, where we will get plenty of help." "But if we do uot find the Yonah ready?" was asked. "Why, then, so far as I can see, we are done," was the reply. They did not stop to speculate, but were all this time pressing on at the very high est speed possible. It might well be that one minute would make all the difference between finding the Yonah and her starting back to the iron works, miles away. But there was a sharp interrup tion just before they came in sight of Etowah, and while they were straining every nerve and looking forward to see if the smoke of the engine was yet visible We had taken up a rail, and there was a crash, a sense of falling, and they found themselves lying, hand car and all, iu a i heap at the bottom of a ditch! If the em bankment had been as high at that placo as at many others ou the road, all our danger would have ended, for no other party that day originated anything against us; but the ground was almost level; and except a few bruises, they were unhurt, aud at once placed their car on the track again. While doing this, they were greatly stimulated and hurried by noticing tho smoke and steam of the Yonah, which they could see across the long bend on their side of Etowah river. If they could only make the distance, a little more than a mile, before the engine went back on the branch! With all their power, like men working for their lives, they drove forward. They were noou to soon. The engine was on the main track still, and the tender was just being turned on the half moon turn table, preparatory to start ing back. But the people there saw the furiously driven baud car, with the shout ing, excited men on it, and at once sus pended their work and gathered around to know the cause of these frantic ges tures. Fuller had uot much breath left to spend in talking, but managed to say that the Yankees had taken his train, aud that he wanted their engine, and all of them with their guns to follow in chase. He, with every man of his party, was well known and there was no stopping to ques tion. Their very appearance, streaming with sweat and almost exhausted, bore witness to the urgency of their haste. A score of strong arms whirled back the tender on the turn table, and pushed it and an empty coal car up to the engine, while a number of Confederate soldiers who were waiting to take the next traiu southward to Big Shanty, piled in also. Now theyiwere off with a strong, well armed party, and the chase was on more equal terms. "The Yonah," in the words of Fnller, "was not a strong en gine, but had large wheels, was as active as a cat, and with a light load would run very fast."" She was now just in the ser vice adapted to her, and her drivers called out all her powers. As they flew over the ground, it was a refreshing contrast to the exertions on foot or hand car. The thirteen miles were made in sixteen min utes. If the extra trains at Kingston only entangled us as long as Fuller hoped, the whole affair wonld soon be brought to a final issue! He did not dread the fight that was likely to follow, for our number was only reported even yet by those who had seen us working as eight, while he had some twenty well armed men with him at this stage of the journey; and there were the crews of the four or five trains at Kingston. Indeed. Fnller and Murphy might be excused if they rather feared that "the Yankees" might be captured be fore they arrived. CHAPTER VII. TEBKBIX SUSPEKSE. But where were we while this train was flj lng toward us? Lying still on the side track at the left hand of Kingston station, those aconiss of suseeBS and intent al- ternations of hope and fear which were harder to bear than all the exertions of Fuller and his companions! The local freight train came as previously narrated, and had drawn down the road to let the extra follow it, aud still give us room to ,uuiuuiiiuuic. ug nuu icuiuus was the waiting. But when we almost des- nam out auove. ixng ana teaions was paired the extra came. But alas! on this train, also, was a red flag! On being questioned as to the meaning of another train, the conductor said that there were too many cars aud too great a load for one engine, and that another section was made up, and would be aloug shortly. The de lay for these two trains had already been little less than an hour; and here was a third train still blocking the road before us! How Andrews wished that he had taken the risk of running out in the face of the first extra and had tried to make, at least, the station nlwve! We could easily have succeeded. But now, in the absence of some telegraphic message and no report was made to that office, while Andrews hardly thought it prudent to tel egraph for instructions: it would be mad ness to run out between the two sections of a belated train. It was lictter to wait, even if that entailed the risk of a fight. For this possibility Andrews made ready: he said to Knight: "Go back aud tell the boys, without attracting attention, that we have to wait for a train that is behind time, and for them to be rcadv to jump at the signal "if needed, aud fight." Knight sauntered carelessly along down the traiu, just as if he was tired to death with waiting and did not know what to do with himself; and leaning ngaiiiat out car, without turning his head or eyes toward us, said in a low tone which "we heard perfectly: "Boys, we have to wait for ;! train that is a little behind time, and the folks around are getting mighty uneasy and suspicious. Be ready to jump ont, if you are called, aud let them have it hot and fast." We did not know how many of the "uneasy folks" there might be about; and so unlx-arable had become the sus pense ot leiug shut up in that dark car, and heating the sound of voices outside, without leing able to distinguish the wonls or know what was going on, that a command to spring out and begin a deadly strife would have been welcomed n3 a relief, without much regard to numbers. We said we were ready; we had been ready at any time the last hour! Still we carefully examined the priming of every revolver, and saw that reserve ammuni tion was in pockets within easy reach. Wi; did not. intend, if it came to a fight, to shoot at long range, but to close right in, where every shot would be deadly. That we could, with the surprise of an unexpected assault, and firing each time to kill, have rJearetl the station of four times our number, 1 have never doubted. Could any situation b8 imagined by poet or novelist more trying than that of this carload of Union soldiers shut up in the midst of Confederate trains! But we were not called upon to quiet the "uneasiness" outside, which was fully as great as Knight had described, in auy such summary manner. Andrews played his part with surpassingskill. The people around, and especially the old switch ten der, began to grumble something about being sure that all was not right. A good many questions were asked as to why Fuller, with the regular train, was not along by this time, and why the superin tendent of the road at Atlanta had not sent notice of the powder train. Andrews answered each suggested question very briefiy and plausibly, but without appear ing at all anxious about their opinion; grumbled a little about the bad manage ment of a road that would allow its track to be blocked at a time like this, and gave accountsof himself in the camp of Beaure gard with an air so confident and truthful that no one ventured to question him. 1 think there was only one thing, aside from the dangerous delay, which he really dreaded. He kept very near the tele graph office, and, without seeming to do so, closely watched the operator. The at tempt to telegraph any kind of a message up the line would have probably brought on an immediate collision. Brown relates a curious little episode as occurring here. He noticed a man who watched Andrews for a short time, and then, when no one else was near, stepped close to him and handed him a large ami seemingly well tilled envelope. Andrews smiled and placed it in his vest pocket. Brown intended to ask about it, but more pressing business put it out of his mind. Probably this was an incident of Andrews' contraband trade, and the package con tained an order for goods, with the money i to pay for them. ,,... . id Ins party were now not many X i !'V" ,km TrC ,n,Pi d us than had ever been made Fuller and miles awav time towar ou that road lefore. But we knew noth ing of that .supjHised that we were sS ill an hour ahead of any pursuit that could be imagined. We had been at this place one hour and five minutes! It seemed to those shut up in the box car nearer half a day! and when the whistle of a train u.ts heard, which fortunately for us was first from the north not the pursuim: train from the south it was about as welcome as the hoouwof Mitchel's cannon, with which Ave expected to 1-e greeVd iu the evening when our work was done. Tins last extra came up to the platform its the others had done, and was at once ordered by Andrews to draw on down the road I that we might have room to go out. The conductor olieyed without hesitation, aud this obstruction was removed. I It only remained to adjust the switch so that we might again get on the main track. This Andrews directed the old switch tender to do, but he had been getting in a worse and worse humor for the whole of the last hour; he had hung up his keys, and now roughly declared that he would not take them down again until Andrews showed him by what au thority he was ordering everybody about as if he owned the whole road! Ve whe I were shut up iu the 1mx car heard the loud and angry voice, and supposed that the time for us to act had come: yet we waited for our leader's command as we , remembered how he had counseled us against being too precipitate. But he only laughed softly as if the anger of the old man amused him, and saying, "I have no more time to waste with you," he walked into the station, to the place where he had seen the keys put up, end taking them down, went quietly and swiftly out and made the change himself. Th tnniWs ivmtli t-nntv nn i.nmwk nt this; he stormed, declared he would have j question of what it costs to learn a pro Andrews arrested, would report him, and j fession, who, I ask, confers the greatest mauy other things. Andrews then wnved his hand to the engineer, and as our loco- motive came promptly up he stepped on board, and we glided out on the main track and were off! It had been a fearful ordeal, but it was well met The three men, Brown, Knight and Wilson, who were outside, declared that they did not see the slightest indica tion of fear, chagrin or impatience on the part of Andrews, save what he exhibited when telling how much Beauregard was in need of his ammunition, nnd what a shame it was that the road should be blocked by any ordinary travel when the fate of their brave soldiers was trem bling in the balance. Andrews had ex plained that it was because he could not get his orders filled without ruinous de lays by the ordinary channels that Beau regard had sent him to bring this powder through by force, if necessary, and , declared that if the officers at home did not support the army in the field better, martial law would soon be proclaimed! , Such grumbling and threats were ap ' plauded by those who wished to be thought especially loyal to the Confeder ate cause. For at least half an hour no I distrust was shown. The hour and five minutes we were at ; this station, added to our two hours' run, ' made us now three hours and five minutes from Big Shanty. Fuller was three hours ana nine minutes on tne way. He came in sight of Kingston just four minutes after we had glided around the sharp northward curve beyond; so near were we to the final collision at this place! As soon as we were well out of sight of the station we stopped, and Scott, with a man at each foot to give him a start, was iu a moment at the top of the telegraph pole, the box was knocked off and the wire cut. We wanted no message of inquiry sent ahead, preferring ourselves to tell the story of the impressed powder train and Beauregard's need of ammu nition. While this was being done, others threw a few obstructions on the track. When once more on board we noticed h quicKcning or Fpecu that alter our long rest was delightful. We had been run ning slowly siucc leaving Big Shanty, but now Andrews said to his crew, "Push her, boys, push her." Wilson heaped in the wood, auC the fire, which was but moder ate when we left Kingston, was soon roar- -tj Jr- (s i r -- X -. .Ar C Ci' yV ''' !f W T- THE OX WAS KNOCKKK OFF. ng aud great clouds of smoke escaping. Our leader's intention was to reach Adairs vills in a few minutes, iu order to meet two trains there whic1: were now overdue. These were the through freight and the southern passenger trains, and they would wait for us ("Fuller's train") there. Our terrible delay in Kingston wus in every way most unfortuuate. If there had been no extra trains we could by this time lune beeu at Daltou, forty miles further up the road, with the Oosteuauht bridge burned behind us, aud, these two trains passed, leaving no further serious obstacle to con tend with. But while so anxious to reach Adairs ville, the uext station above, where there was a side track, it would never do to leave the way open from Kingston, as tho distance is only ten miles, aud if the ene my choose to make up a pursuing train at that point,- ou account of suspicious formed, it might be very embarrassing. So it seemed that we had scarcely got under full headway at a tremendous rate of speed before the tender brakes, all that we had on our train, were put sharply down, ami we were on the ground almost before the train had stopped, aud under the energetic leadership of Andrews were hard at work lifting the track, the readi est mode of effective obstruction in our power. We again cut the wire, ami also loaded on a large number of ties aud other kinds of wood to be used iu burning the bridge. We were the more anxious Jor abundant fuel, as the ceaseless ram, . Inch was now severe, wotdd render kindling a fire without much wood slow aud dillicult. No time was lost iu these operations, as but a few could work at track lifting at once, and others were ready for any other useful employment. Lifting a rail seems easy enough, but it was far from easy in practice. The rail is long and heavy; it is securely bolted to other rails, aud fastened with great spikes driven into soiid oak ties, which in turn are deeply imbedded in the ground. This was the first place we wished to take up a rail very quickly, and accordingly we were far more sensible of the difficulty thau when we had abundance of leisure. We were uot excited, for we believed our selves ahead of any probable pursuit; but to pass the two trains still before us, and hurry to our real work of bridge burning, was an ardent desire. Slowly we drew out spike after spike, battering out the great nail- as rapidly as possible with our one iron bar. 1 cannot tell Low many minutes we spent, but time went by swiftly. The large load of ties, which were not far away, was a great acquisi tion, and were all on board before the stubborn rail was half loosened. The rail was loosened at the southern end, and for perhaps two-thirds of its length was cleared of spikes. Eight of us, including our strongest men. took hold of it, to try to pull out the remainder by the rail itself. But they were too firmly fixed; and we were about to gie up the attempt and watt to batter out a few more, when away in the distance we heard, faintly but unmistakably, the whistle of a locomotive iu pursuit! But faint and far oil" as it was, no sound more unwelcome ever fell ou human ear. Be fore us. only i wo or three mill's away, there were two train.-) possibly blocking the track: and behind us u pursuing en gine, which in a minute or two more would be upon i s. It nearly seemed as if our race was ended! But v.e did not i pause for moralizing: we lifted again and I , ,, IB1rtI-ItT of Mrength. as men I " -r Me.

All ot u- tumbied iu a con fused heap down the grade, but iu a mo ment were on our leet and hurrying toward the car, taking our precious half rail with us. I-'or the time we were saved! So matter who the pursuer was he would be arrested by that break, and give us time, with favoring fortune, to pa-s the trains aliove. (To be Cimtinutd.) I'olaou from I In- Iluuian Teeth. The poison conveyed by the human teeth is one of the mot annoying that a physician ever has to deal with. A chewed ear or a nose is mouths healing, where a more important wound inflicted by an in strument wonld readily yield to simple remedies. 1 have had under my attention severe and most complicated cases of blood poioning, in which the patient had but slight ly abraded the hand in the course of a fight by striking his knuckles against the teeth of his opponent. I have known hands thus poisoned only saved from am putation by the application of all the re sources of science. Tobacco or whisk-, or disarrangement of the stomach from many other causes, may be responsible for this poisonous condition of the teeth, and I am not prepared to say that a man with good health aud a clean, sweet mouth would convey this poison, but I can only speak of the frequency of this class of cases and the difficulty of attending them success fully. Dr. A. C. Robinson. A Defense of ;amllln. A San Francisco gambler has written to The Examiner au able letter in de fense of his business, and ends with this cuunk of wisdom: "Puttinc aside the Itenefits ou the world, the lawver or the i professional gambler? The latter un questionably, rjr the lawyer gets his wealth from people who are commonly accounted wise, while the gambler makes a precarious livelihood from those who are universally conceded to be fools, and in curing folly I hold myself to be the moral superior of him who discourages wisdom."
