Contradictory Character of tho Rvlitcncc
The Court Xonplimtcil A Cnptnlna
AtvlccAy Explanation Mndo After
tho Cloio of the Wiir
It was in tho spring of 1603 DcMHions
wero frequent frtom tlio rebel lines In front of
Petersburg Hugh Morris n sergeant of a
Now Jersey regiment had been reduced to
tho rank A detail for fatlguo duty flvo
miles awny Included Hugh The following
night a deserter who enmo in mid ho iad n
brother in ho Union nrmy nnd on investiga
tion It was ascertained to bo Hugh Ho was
permitted to wall with Hughs moss until his
return Meantime tho commanding oQlcor
of Hughs regiment had been detailed nwny
from ills command and his successor was ig
norant of tho facts ftbovo narrated Ho re
ceived shortly after assuming command nu
order from headquarters to Mid Hugh
Morris brother thciu Ho reported that
Hugh was away on detail nnd had nor brother
In tho regiment In doing so ho crroacouIy
signed tho colonels name In placo of his own
Tho colonel had proviously reported tho
deserter nnd obtained permission for him to
wait for his brothers return Meantime ono
of Oen Mcados spies had como across tho lino
and reported that Hugh had deserted and wns
giving tho rebels all the information ho could
as to tho Union army and position Tljo pro
tendod brother was doubtlesi a rebel spy It
would seem also doubtless that tho colonel
was in tho game
CllAJlOKD WITH DESEUTIOX
Meado quietly ordered Wilcoxs division to
surround tho New Jersoy reglmont nnd
placed every ono In It under wrest Tho
rcbol descrtor could not bo found Tho ofll
ccrs of tho regiment wcro furious Tho next
morning Fort Stcdmnn was surprised nnd
captured by tho rebels as Js known In history
On tho samo day Hugh Morris returned to
bis regiment nnd was immediately arrested
and brousht before a court martial for trial
charged with desortlon There was no evi
dence against him except tho spy of Gen
Meado before mentioned But that was
direct and conclusive Ho was on tho rebel
outpost when Morris camo In himself seeking
an opportunity to reach tho Union lines Ho
accompanied Morris to tho rear nnd slept
with hlra that night in tho prison barracks
near Petersburg While 3orris wns asleep
ho took from him his diary nnd also cut from
his head n lock of hair loth of whlh ho
showed before tho court Tho lost entry in
tho diary was mention of tho fact of detail to
repair a locomotive engine Tho clip of hnlr
appeared to oxactly match a sheared lock of
Morris head Other than this and tho fact
that Morris hail been reduced from sergeant
to private and had expressed cinpliatlo dis
content there wasnothlng ngalnst him This
however was absolute and convincing Mor
ris in his defense produced tho four me
chanics who were detailed with him to repair
and replace tho rnilrond engine which had
boon thrown from tho military railroad mid
seriously impaired Thoy testified that ho
wns with them continuously und only left for
his company when tho Job wns completed a
short timo before ho In fact rejoined his com
Iny Ho admitted the diary was his and
raado no explanation of tho lock of hair The
mechanics who worked with him identified
him particularly liy tho hat ho wore which
liad n peculiar feather in It and also his coat
sleeves showed tho dark lines which had bo
f ore been covered with tho sergeants chev
rons All the officers of his regiment testified
to his uniform soldierly conduct through
many campaigns and battles and It also njv
peared that ho had been deprived of his ser
geant rank bocauso nf communication Vith
tho enemy against cjpress orders
rxriuiNKn XT LAST
Tho court of which tho writer was presi
dent wns uoilplusssd by tho evidence It ad-
adjourned early until tho next morning
Late that night they camo to my tent one of
tho most rellnbfo nnd conscientious captains

to tako supper at tho Washington houso cor

When tho war broko out my brothcrwas

our front before Petersburg as a member of
tho Thirteenth Alabama I had been dotallod
to go on ndvnnco picket duty during tho fol
lowing night Afterward camo tho ordor for

ABOUT REJECTED MANUSCRIPT
Fitnily Story Concerning it Couple
of
rooms VnWio of Perseverance
It stands to reason that tho oxperieheed
writer who has outgrown any morbidity that
can bo produced by n rejected manuscript im
mediately tears oft tho wrapper upon Its re
turn renddresses it nnd sends it onco more
upon tlio road Tho result is very upt to bo
satisfactory Mrs Clam Doty Bates tells a
funny story of tho fnto of two of tho first
poems she over sent for publication Thoy
were forwarded to religious magazines simul
taneously nnd simultaneously thoy returned
ro sho reversed the addresses and sent them
nwny again They wcro both accepted nnd
brought 10 apiece Many professional writ
ers keep n book nnd under the namo of each
nrtlclo write tho list of magazines to which it
has been sent that thoy may not forward it
twlco to tho samo editor and then keep it
going till it ilnds n resting place
There Is ono writer of this city who has
tried n daring gamo with marked success
When n manuscript which his Judgment told
him was really good was rejected by a favor
ito paper be kept It quietly awhilo nnd then
trusting to tho forget fulness of tho editor
sent It back ngaln A happier mood or a
better dinner or ono of thoso mysterious
chances which govern tho fata of manuscripts
conspired to its acceptance
Auy mngntlno of high position is ranch af
fronted if it receives tin nrtlclo which it dis
covers to hnvo been rejected by somo rival
periodical Most of them and it may bo nil
o them hnvo some cabalistic ltttlo mark
which they uso in various ways and now and
then It can bo found upon tho leaves of a re
turned manuscript Tho experienced eontrhV
utor knows this nnd hover sends n manuscript
away n second time without first carefully
examining tho pages Tho fact that ono edi
tor rejects nnd another accepts nil article it
should bo borno In mind is no reflection on
tho Judgment of cither What is in keeping
with tho tono of ono publication is qulto un
sultcd to another It isn mistaken idea too
to suppose that mngnzlno editors will not tako
n manuscript unless It bears tho namo of a
well known writer This is an obvious ab
surdity fpr how then could thoso well
known writers havo first becomo known
Tho enterprising alitor Is nlwnyji on tho alert
for strong fresh writers whoso names they
may havo tho credit of introducing Chicago
