An Adventure Down in Dixie.
A correspondent writing to the Boston
Journal from the IT. S. barque Restless, of
the Charleston blockading squadron, relates
the following interesting adventure:
A little trip to the “main” was made a day
or twro since by Master’s Mate James W. Rus
sell, of this ship, a brief account of which
may prove of some interest to your readers.
Our Captain had received information from
contrabands thut the mail between Charleston,
Santee and Georgetown, passed two or three
times a week, in the night, along a road about
tlve miles inland, and determined to attempt
its capture. Mr. Russell was detailed for this
duty, and accordingly started on the afternoon
of the 3d inst.. accompanied by two contra
bands, called Jerry and Harry, who were ac
quainted with the locality. They arrived at
the main about sundown, and proceeded to
the road where the mail was expected to pass.
Close by was the plantation upon which the
two contrabands had been slaves, and where
their families still lived. One of them was
sent to his hut to make inquiries about the
mail, and soon returned with another negro, a
slave, called Jack, w ho appeared very intelli
gent, expressed a desire to la? free, and who
offered to aid the enterprise in any way possi
ble. Mr. Russell sent him to the mail station j
near by, to ascertain what time the mail would
pass, and get such other information as he
could. Jack showed more shrewdness than !
many white people would have done. Poul
try is sometimes sent by tin? mail carrier.— i
Jack boldly entered the station, and inquired '
what time the mail came, saying he had some ;
chickens to send. He found that it did not j
come until the next night. After obtaining I
all the information possible, he returned. Mr.
Ptiafiftll Hutni'itiinidl In tt flit unil lutinir nsuniux/1 !
of the negroes on the plantation, and told tha
the master and overseer were away, and no
one to fear except the driver, was induced to
go over to one of the lints to stay until the
next night. He was very cordially received,
and although it was quite late, a supper of
boiled hominy and roast sweet potatoes, the
best they had, was immediately prepared.
There was soon quite a crowd of slaves col
lected in the hut. All had heard of the Pres
ident's emancipation proclamation, and made
eager inquiries concerning it. They supposed
that when Charleston should be taken the
proclamation would be enforced. They all
wanted to be free. There was among them a
very old man, a great-grandfather. Notwith
standing his age, he said he was obliged to go
Into the field every day to his work or be cow -
hided. The whip and the one who used it 1
will describe presently. The “best bed,” but
not the “spare bed," for there was none, was
given to their guest. It was a rough bunk
with no lied save the lioards, a hard cotton
pillow, and two very'old blankets, which ap
peared to have been targets for Berdan’s reg
iment. Ail the bedding they possessed was
offered to him. A pitch pine knot served the
Surpose of a candle. About midnight Mr.
[ussell was aroused by a noise in the adjoining
hut, where llarry was w ith his family, lie
went out and found that the driver, who by
some means had become apprised of the re'urn
of the two contrabands, Was dragging Harry
out of the hut by the throat, and belaboring
him with a whip.
This driver was a ferocious mulatto, over
six feet high, very large, and extremely mus
cular and powerful. The w hip lie used, which
was made expressly lor him, was of plaited i
cowhide, about ten feet lone, and one and a
half inches in diameter at the butt, gradually
tapering to the end. This whip was after
wards obtained and brought away as a trophy. j
Mr. Russell did not wish himself to lie seen, be
cause it might frustrate his mail enterprise
the next night., and so kept himself concealed ;
for a while, but soon found it necessary to j
interfere, which he did by coming forward and
leveling a revolver at the driver’s head, caus- |
iug him to drop both Harry and the whip, and
run for his life. Mr. Russell thought it about
time to leave, and taking the three contrabands
started for his boat and rowed to Bull’s Island.
He now concluded that there was still a
chance for ttie mail, provided he made a bold
push in the day time. A sharp lookout would
be kept at the landing the next night. He star- I
ted back again at noon, arrived at the lauding
about 4 o'clock, left Jack in charge of the boat,
with orders to keep concealed, and with the
other two contrabands made his way back
through the woods to the road, arriving before
dark. Here lie remained concealed until aliout
half-past 10 o'clock, when the mail came along. ;
It was carried by one man, with a horse and |
sulky. Mr. Russell,having stationed the two
negroes, jumped out into the road with a pistol
and commanded the man to stop. He reined .
up at once, and asked what for. He was as
sured he would not lie harmed, and told he
would save all further trouble by alighting.
He wanted to know by what authority he w as
stopped. “By authority of the United Slates
Goverment.” “ Thank God!" said the man,
and jumped out, “lam glad of it. I hare
wanted a rhanre like this for some time.”
After searching the man and his sulky, Mr. ,
Russell tied the horse to a tree near the road
aud proceeded w ith the man and his mail hags
toward the boat. Upon arriving at the spot
four mounted pickets were discovered a lew
feet in advance, oil the watch. Mr. Russell's
party concealed themselves until daybreak,
When the pickets rode away. Upon giving the
agreed signal, Jack, the new contraband, w ho
had faithfully remained by the boat since the i
preceding afternoon made his appearance, and
a puli of a few hours brought them safely to
the ship. The gunboat "flag" happened to be
in sight, and the man and the mail bags were
immediately dispatched to the Hag ship of the
squadron. The contents of the mail, which
was a large one, were not ascertained at the
time, but Charleston papers of the4th(tbe duy
the mail was taken)were obtained. They con
tain very little uews.
r A good deal of information was obtained
from the mail carrier. I should judge him to
hp mirul rpnrpspiitjit ivi» nf tlu* nmru int..lli_
geut portion of the poor whites of the South.
He was over forty years of age, was born in
Charleston, and had never been more than six
ty miles from that city in his life. He said he
liked the South for it had been his home, but
now there was no chance for a poor white
man, and lie was glad to leave. There were
mauy others who felt as he did, but many be
lieved if they should cotne within our power,
they would lie imprisoned anil otherwise abus
ed, and perhaps killed. The farmers in that
vicinity believe that if Charleston is taken
they will be driven away, their slaves liberated,
and their lands confiscated. This carrier, of
course, would have been compelled to join the
army, had lie not been engaged in carrying the
mail, which the law' will not allow to be car
ried by a negro.

ANDERSON’S
SPRING BED BOTTOM!
Patent granted October, 1862.
ID. K. Frohook,
GENERAL AGENT.
Under United Slate* Hotel, Portland.
1H1IS desirable mechanical arrangement has now
. been in use a sufficient length of time to shew
that it gives entire satisfaction aud actually is the
more valued the more it is used.
This invention is a step in advance of all others in
the Spring Bed department, embracing a little more
of their excelrennes, and yet happily overcoming all
their defects. It is flexible as hair/ and yet so recu
perative as to bring itself into ptace with great facili
ty. It is adapted to the invalid, the aged and old.
aud all who linger in suffering and weakness. They
are made of good material warranted strong and du
rable, and uot liable to get out of order.
TESTIMONIALS :
Commercial House. Portland. June 16. 1862.
Having introduced the “Anderson Spring lied Bot
tom” into my house, after trial, 1 pronounce it to be
an easy and itealthy bed. 1 am nsing several kinds
of spring bed bottoms, but consider the Anderson
fully equal if uot better than the best.
N. 4. DAVIS, Proprietor.
We have introduced several of the justly celebrat
ed “Anderson Spring Bed Bottom” to our sleeping

I have had the unspeakable pleasure of sleeping on
one of the "Anderson Spring Bed Bottoms” for the

had no good rest for six months till occupying oue of
these beds. She would uot part with it ’ou am ac

TODD'S LIT SOLIS
HAIR DYE!
THE market has been flooded for vears with differ
ent articles called flair Dvcs. which have never
satisfied the expectations of purchasers. The nk
plcr ultra has been reached at last in TODD’S
IIAIR DYE. and the article has given entire satis
faction to every person who lias used it. It contains
no injurious ingredients, ami gives the hair a beauti
ful rich brown or black color. Directions for using
—which are very simple—accompany each bottle.
One superiority of Todd’s Lux Softs Hair Dye over
all others is, you do not have to cleanse the hair or
wash it before or after using the dve, and there is but
one kind to be used, ami that can \>e put on the same
as oil and water, without any trouble, unlike all oth
er dyes that have two or three different kinds to lie
applied every time used. This dye is peculiarly
adapted for coloring ladies’ hair, because you do not
have to wash out the dye after putting it oh. Unlike
allotherdyes.it will color long hair, which other
dyes cannot do. Ciive this new article a trial, as we
know you will use no other after once using this.

POOR RIC HARD'S
EYE Sr EAR, WATER!
| TO'O Organs of the human system are more impor
tant to health and comfort than the Eye and
Ear, and yet uonc are less understood or more neg
lected . They seem to pass even common observation,
and yet every part of the body is dependent upon
them for life and health.
Poor Richard*!! Eye and Ear Water
Is a new and rare discovery, which it most wonder
ful in its operations, putting to blush the old systems
j of treatment, which have quite as often done harm
as good. Below we give the certificate of Rev. P. 8.
! Hen»on, Pastor of the Broad Street Baptist Church,
1 Philadelphia. If auy one has doubts as to the value
of this remedy, they may learn more of its practical
value by addressing a note of inquiry to Mr. II.
Philadelphia. Oct. 17,1862.
From iujnries received in my right eye, w hen a
boy, a chrouic inflammation had been produced, in
consequence of which I suffered constant martyr
1 doin. Every moment of my wakiug life was embit
tered, and I was frequently unable to sleep at night.
A variety of remedies had been resorted to with
out success, and I entertained the purpose, as a last
j resort, of having the ball taken out of its socket, in
j the hope of thus finding relief.
In the meantime, most providentially. I noticed
one day iu a shop window a bottle of POOR RICH
j ARD’S EYE WATER. 1 had never heard ol it be
1 fore, but determined to try it, and did, with the most
delightful results. In a very few days the painful
irritation was removed: I could bear the strongest
| light, and went forth to the enjoyment of a new life.
I now keep a bottle of it always in the house, and if
1 my eye seems at all disposed to annoy me. I give It a
I dose, and that is an end of it. 1 would not be with
out it for any amount of money. I take Occasion to
say, further, that my wife used to suffer severely at
times from protracted pain iu and over her eye*, and
she has found Poor Richard’* Eye Water a sov
j ereign specific in her case, giving her almost instant
relief. Grateful to God for the benefit that I have
personally received, I cannot but commend the prep
aration to all who have been sufferers like myself.
