me up three black columns of infantry, firing upon our men, who were in close column, preparing to cross. Seeing that the enemy had every advantage of position, an overwhelming force of infantry and cavalry, and that his men were becoming completely environed, the command was ordered by Gen. Morgan to move up the river double-quick. Three companies of dismounted men, and perhaps two hundred sick and wounded were left in the enemy's possession. The bulk of the command pressed rapidly to Belleville, about fourteen miles, on a running fight, and commenced fording, or rather swimming, at that point. Three hundred and thirty men had effected a crossing, when again the enemy's gunboats were upon them-one iron-clad and two transports. It was a terrible adventure now to cross the river; but even under the hot fire a party of officers, headed by Col. Adam R. Johnson, plunged into the stream, and commenced the struggle of life and death. Of the fearful scene which ensued, one of the party

ause in which he believed, so his last hours were tranquil, his confidence in the mercy of heaven unfailing. When he was asked how he felt, he said, Easy, but willing to die, if God and my country think I have done my duty. His last words were: I am going fast now; I am resigned. God's will be done. As he uttered these words he expired.

tances of heroism in women have occasionally occurred in modern times resembling somewhat that of the ancient Amazons. But there are eras and countries in which their warlike spirit appeared with particular lustre; such were the displays it made in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in Hungary, and in the Islands of the Archipelago and Mediterranean, when they were invaded by the Turks. Among the stirring instances of Amazonian conduct in modern ladies may be mentioned that of Jane of Belleville, widow of M. de Clisson, who was beheaded on a suspicion of carrying on a correspondence with England and the Count de Montford. The lady, filled with grief for the death of her husband, and exasperated at the ill treatment which she considered him to have received, sent off her son secretly to London, and when her apprehensions were removed with respect to him, she sold her jewels, and fitted out three ships, and put to sea, to revenge the death of her husband upon all the French whom sh

The citizens, with much reluctance, commcame unnecessary by the appearance of Col. Wallace with a large force from Parkersburg. It should here be stated that Generals Judah and Hobson had in the meantime been closely following the rebels, and at the time of their interception at Belleville they were only two or three miles in the rear, it being the object of our forces to capture Morgan's whole command if possible. Colonel Wallace landed his men at some distance from the town, and by a quietly executed march succeeded in reachin
