Lea 2S UEL A RSL vi New York presented a strange sight yesterday, It was the sight of a big city knee deep with snow, and its thousand channels of business viockaded, Sidewalk and street, housetop and step, Iny buried beneath its dazzling whiteness, The early wanderer im the morn. ing found the depin and area of the white expanse no small job to dvercome, An hour or so after daylight the spectaclo changed, and the great shovel brigade proceeded to dig out the streets and show pedestrians the familiar landmarks of weil known avenucs and Streets, Milkman and baker, rewsboy and postinan, s6emed to have been lost, aud mistress and maid alike were ill bumored, ‘ho comfortable breakfast lacked many of its pleasant appointments, and was made less agreeable from the astounding reports of servants that Qavigation was impossible, Heads of families found suis so to 4 great extent, and many were the blessings that they heaped upon “the bewutiul snow," as, foundering through drifts in unexpected places, they found to their chagrm that horse cars were {ew and far between and ‘standing room only’? could be obtained, ‘The story of one citizen’s discomlorts is the story of the bustling population of the city, Out of doors was more like a Canadian scene in midwinter than is found im this latitude in January, and, with the less expe- mence of the Canadian in dealing with genuine old Mies storms of this character, 1 proved more vother- tome to the Gothamite, With the appeurance of the workers with broom and spade, the car companies got in full working trim; the great snow ploughs, drawn by teu and twelve hors und plunging through the eighteen er twenty inches of flukey blankets that had fallen with such noiseless persistency, luid bare the tracks so that the car horses could travel with som’ degree of speed. But it proved slow work, for carriage and Wagon too often again lev- elled Jow the ridges and mounds and leit the road noarly ag bud as before the work of clearing the routes commented, Every important ne in the city thus sent out iis men and borses and ploughs aud brooms, aud no doubt were of much servico in giving travellers a little quicker transit down town than walking could bring about. Yet, at the same time, the snow which s0 1n- pede their progress was occasionally burled and pitched inte doors with a recklessness that was sufll- cient to put it in everybody's way. BROADWAY AFTER THE STORM, It was not allowed to lie anywhere 1m peace save in Broadway, and in that artery of life and business it went through its usual process of churning toa mass of soit, dirty, imdescrivable stuff, that can be found jp no other city in the world twenty-tour hours. atter a like storm of Monday last This thoroughfare was well nigh impassable. All kinds of vehicles made tardy progress. The stages for the first time in many years, the old drivers say ten or iwelve, were “doubled up,” while express wagons had additional horse power, as did big trucks and carts, All New Yorkers kuow Broadway is a strange place— it isso fullof wonders that you cease to wonder at vhem. Yet they did open their eyes yesterday: Mounds of snow where hotel proprietors ana store, keepers bad ordered paths to be made were higher | than the beads of most men, much higher than the | bands of the majority of ladies, and picking one’s way through the narrow avenue leading to the oppose side of the street was not only uifficult’ but annoying to those of the fair sex gay with showy costumes, When the sup commenced It work of inelting the rifts on cornice, window silland housetop protection was needed to shield rich attires, so that at some points there were poted wet clusters of umbrellas, ike mushroom beds in mourning, extendgd doletully. This was the case from Tenth to ThirtyMourth street, and many thought it required a deal of bravery to contend with the drip- ping roofs and the great depth of snow; still there fre folks, equally sensible and hardy, perbaps, who will take their “constitutionals” in rain, wind, drizzle, mist, hail, snow, sleet, fog, or all these atwospheric conditions togetber, ‘and Broaaway presented that iriking ball of 1s physiognomy to « charm, TEN Ip all the other st 3 in the city there was experi- enced the sumeditiiculty of travel. “Some of the cross- town thoroughlares had many amusing and provoking fucidents of detention, Cars ieft the tracks cvery block or two aud alter jolting the passengers for sume distance, came toa standstill. Neither drivers nor conductors in the majority of cases could prevail upon thore inside to step out on the street for atime that the cars could be again lifted on the rali tention seemed preferable to wading through & foot or two of winter’s covering.

THE PERRIFS. At all the ferries—trooklyn, Jersey City and Ho- Dboken—there was much detention during the morning. To tho annoyances of the storm there Was adaed the incident Of the rivers being blocked with ice. Ata fow minutes past eight o'clock a buge cake, half a mile in extent, rendered the East River nearly impass- able, Lt cume up between the Battery and Governor's Isiand, and was destined to be broken in pieces in making the passage of Hell Gate, whither it was sent by the rnshing llood tide.

RERGH AND TUE HORSE CARS The officers of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, were out very early yesterday morning on the watch tbat the poorly used car horses might not unnecessarily sufler, Ihe Twenty-third street cross town line dret demanded attention.

The most severe and troublesome snow storm ever experienced in this vicinity came at an early hour this morning. Scarcely less than two feet of snow have fallen on a level, and this, with the beayy body pre- viously on the ground, has drifted in some sections so badly asto cause a partial, and in some cases an en tire, suspension of business. Tho railroads in al directions were, of course, badly blocked, and on some of them tho embargo was not whoily removed until late this afternoon, The trouble on the, Boston ‘and Albany road = was the most serious, many of the suburban trains being delayed four or five hours, ava th from New York and Albany tor a much longer period. Even the outward trains in the morning did net start until two or three hours behind the scheduie time, and then only to be further delayed as they worked their way into the interior of the country, ‘The streots in Boston are dangerous and difficult of Jocemotion, and im some casds almost wholly impassa- blo. The horse railroad companies in clearing their tracks piled the snow mountains high in the streets through whica they assed, and the citizens in turn shovelied the same back on the tracks, Scenes of this kind were humerous in different parts of the city, and the interference of the police were necessary to pre- vent acts of violence between the citizens and railroad employés. Over in East Boston the citizens succeeded in blocking up the tracks effectually, and the Mctropoli- tan Raiiroad Company was obliged to substitute sieighs for cars, The roof of the carriage house of A, Garcelon’s liv- ery stable, on Brimmer street, fell in to-day from tho great weight of snow upon it, Twenty-five carriages and sleighs were demolished, Total damage, $10,000; no insurance, BAILROAD TRAVEL IMPEDED IN CONNECTICUT. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Hartrorp, Jan. 2, 1877. The storm of Now Year's night has piled up the snow through all this section to an average depth of nearly three feet, and the country roads are about im. passable owing to the drifts, Railroad travel has'been seriously interrupted, This morning the train trom New York with the mails and papers reached Hartford three hours late, aud the Boston morning train, due here at noun, did not arrive until six o’clock this evening, having been thrown off the track at Chariton, Mass, by Show And otherwise impeded, ‘Travel was wholly suspended between here and Providence, and no traip from that city got through until aine o'clock to- night, having been fourteen houré on the way. On this train was a large party of members of the Legis- lature coming to attend caucuses here this evening, and the proceedings had to be delayed until their arri- vaion the Valley Railroad, The first train up from Suybrook was-five hours behind time, and on the new Connecticut Central line trom Springfeia a single en- gine and car succeeded in forcing a passage by six o'clock to-night. In illustration of the extent of the troubles, a train occupied five hours in going from Boston .to Vernon, ouly three or four miles, and the first train on the Consoii- dated Railroad coming into Hartford this morning oc- cupied twe hours between New England and this city, and even then the passengers helped to shovel through the drifts, No treight bas been forwarded by any of the roadg from this point. In this city the horse cars bave beon withdrawn and sleighs subati- tuted for the tirst time in tour or five years. THE STORM AT NEWPORT, [BY TELEGRAPH To THE HERALD. ] Newront, R. 1, Jan, 9p, 1877. Two feet of snow fell here last night, and it was the severest snow storm that had occurred bere in many years, No mails bave been received {rom New York | for the past twenty-four hours, The steamer New port, which left New York at half-past five tor this port, was obliged to put into New Haven for repairs, she having met with an accident to ber machinery during the gale.

The snow which began falling in this city yesterday afternoon continued uninterruptedly and with inereas- ing violence until after three o'clock this morning, by which time the fleecy covering was about eighteen inches deep on the level and from two to three times that depth where !t had been subject to the caprice of the high winds and blown joto great banks of drift. 1t was unquestionably the heaviest suowfall known fo Philadeiphia since the famous winter of 1857. Rail- road trains to this city via the Pennsylvania, the Read- ing, the North Pennsylvania and otber lines of travel were very much delayed. The New York mails were about three hours late, and the Hkrap did not reach West Philadelphia until half-past eight o’clock. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL, IN ITS WHITE ROBE, WARiINGTON, Jan, 2, 1877. Sloighing on Pennsylvania avenue and the principal thoroughiares of Washington has been extensively In, dulged in to-day by porsons able to avail themselves of | that pleasure. There has not been such a fall of snow, according to the testimony of the oldest citizens, since the winter of 1857. Street raul travel is impeded | to a very great extent, and the trains on all other rail- | roads leading to this city were late this morning and throughout the day. A hackman named Michael Mur- phy was frozen stiff in bis hack this morning. THR STORM IN VIRGINIA. Ricumony, Jan, 2, 1877.

It is popularly supposed that the second dav of the now year 18 devoted to the ladies and culled ‘Ladies? Day;” that they having spent the Ist of January in receiving the calls of their gentlemen friends spend the second day of tho year in returning those calls, The idea has so oltengveen expatiated dpon and bas received such general credence that it may be almost hazardous to say that the whole custom isa myth. New Year’s Day is a general holiday and all places of business are closed, Gentlemen, therefore, have ample opportunities to make their “calls,” ‘The next day, however, is not a holiday, and, the shops and ‘tores beng open, the majority of those who passed the previous day in visiting their lady triends aro en- gaged in their ordinary avocations and in no condition to receive return visits from the fuirsex. Those gen- tlemeu whe are not at work are frequently in a coma- tose or semi-comatose state, to whom a visit from a lady (using the word in its true sense) would be manifestly improper and ill-timed, Necessarily, theretore, there ure left only ladies to receive the calls of ladies; and aa, according to the popular supersti, tion, these ladies themselves are making their own culls upon those ladies who are also making ther calls, empty Nouses are only left to render the holiday hospitality expected upon such occasions, ‘The whole superstructure of the theory of “Ladies Day” being bulit upon no foundation thus talis to the ground, and one is reluctantly compelied to admitthat, however pleasing the idea may be to the masculine breast, ‘Ladies’ Day”? is indeed a myth. . WHO THE CALLERS ARR. The fact is that among the upper classes of society there is no such thing as ladies unattended by some male reiitive or intimate friend calimg upon any of the Opposite’sex, neither on this day or avy other of the year. Tho puruso had its origin, doubtless, A.nong tho servants of fashionable families who have received the permission of their em- ployers to visit. their friends on the second day of the year, and express those congratulations and, good wishes which they ’ (the employers) had them- selves experienced on the Ist day of January, and among such servants there is undoubtedly a custom of Visiting and receiving visits on January 2 It is, how- ever, entirely confined to them, und the calls are most frequently made by household servante to their irienda living in tepements and bouses of their own. In the middle and upper classes the custom does not exist, and according to the present laws of good society could not exist without tarnishing the fair fame of the callers. Thus, one by one, are our most cherished superstitions and traditions dispelled by the ruth. Jess iconoclasts who respect poihing. As re- cent researches in history bave shown that Richard 111, was neither humpbacked nor a bioody tyrant; that Lucrezia borgia was nota devil in fair Woman’s form, but rather un angel of goodness and mercy ; that the heroi William Tell never made a target of his son at the command of the cruel Gesler; that Romulus and Remus were utterly mythical per- sonages, who were nover suckled by the wolf, so modern’ writers bave as cruelly and as ratblessly thrown to the winds this idea of ‘Ladies’ Day.” Dr. Schliemann has restored faith in Homer, and given lite and breath to the wrathfai Achilles, the magnanimous Agamewnon, the pious neas and the sorrowful Cas- sandra; but who shall revivify. our belief in the fond superstition of modern times, the ‘Ladies’ Day?” ORATORICAL GLADIATORS.

ON A FLOATING WRECK Terrible Sufferings of the Dismasted Brig Louisa’s Crew. oie A WEEK OF STORM AND THIRST. Drop by Drop—Four Tablespoonfuls of Water a Day. RESCUED AT LAST. Many a drama of thrilling interest has been evacted in mid-ocean, which we can only picture faintly to ourselves by grouping, as best we may, the fragmen- tary details whitch the surviving actors are able to give, Ships haVe foundered, crews have starved or gone mad with thirst, and men have risked their lives to save poor wretches perishing before their eyes, till & new story of this sort seems almost like a twice-told tale, Yet itis not oftem that a narrative of more va- ried suffering and incident has been told than the fol- lowing which was care/ully taken down as it fell from the lips of the captain of the brig Louisa, with now and then 9ne of his crew chiming in to supply some slight omission in the story. THE LOVISA’B VOYAGE, ‘The brig Louisa, of St. Kitts, sailed from La Have on the 20th of last month, bound to Barbadoes witha cargo of lumber, Mr, Gilbert Sanderson, and a passenger, Mr. Jobn Wilson, besides the captain and a crew of eigtt ‘men. Immediately alter leaving port thoy met with & ‘series of flerce, westerly gules, which compelled them to take in allthe canvas spread, except what Was ab- solutely necessary to keep steerageway. A high sea was running, which shook the heavily freighted ves- gol in overy plank, sondipg her on pitching and rolling from one wave to another, LEAKING, On the second day out the brig sprang a leak and tho water began to gain fast inthe hold. Tho pumps were manned, and although the breaking seas sent tons of water cascading over the decks, sometimes nearly wrenching the men {rom their hold, the crow steadily pérsevered, and had tho satisfaction of know- ing that they were gaining on tho leak. During the dav a heavy southeast gale was blowing, which bold from the same quarter till the afternoon of the next day, the 23d, ‘hen it turned very squally, veoring sharply from southeast to northwest, and the vessel was hove to, with only a portion of her maintopsail spread to keep her head to the wind. , ON HER BEAM RNDS. ‘This was a mort difficult thing to do, however, with the wind changing so suddenly and the sea striking the brig with such force on the weather bow as to cause her to fall off more or less every moment, In cone of these iurctics to leeward, an unusually heavy gust struck the brig and threw her instantly over on her beam ends, Then the seas made u clean sweep over the deck, tearing away everything which was not securely fastened and fairly burying the men who had set to work to cut the lanyards of the shrouds which supported the foremast, By watching their time, however, holding on for their lives and hacking off the ropes with hatchets as the brig rose with the waves, they finally succeeded in severing the weather shrouds, RIGHTED. Instantly the foremast went by the boara, snapping off short about fourteen feet from the deck, and carry_ ing with it the ma:topmast. When this heavy top hamper was gone tho vessel righted; and’ when the wreck of the masts was cut clear she floated more easily for a time, though still pitching and rolling with tremendous violence, The galo increased, however, at tho sun rose on the next morning, the 24th, until is blew a perfect hurricane, The pumps had been manned constently during the might, but such weak eflorts as could be made to clear the ship seemed then absolutely futile, The crew did not desist from their lnbors, however, till thore were ten feet o¢ water in the hold and the cabin was filled to the level of the deck. Then they began to think of their own safety, und it was certainly time, The se: ere surg- ing without intermission over the vessel, splitting open the decks, staving in the boats and washing out the stern. Over the whole length of the brig, fore and aft, a flood of water was sweeping, at times making a clenn breach over the vessel and burying her till it soemed she would never rise again. WATERLOGGED, The cabin, which was buiit partly above and partly below deck, soon filled with a dead weight of water, which would be buried with tho toree of a catapult against its siacs whenever the brig surged from ono wave to the other. Mo tuman handiwork could long stand such terrible blows, and the stern was soon beater out till the waters within and the waves without met and mingled. Then the deck aft began to be turced up by the waves, which would spirt through the chinks ina jong bissing line, loosening the planks one alter the other, and fii y tearing them away with a so Meanwhile the Captain and the others on board hi retugo on the top of the forecastle or forward store- room, and there had lashed themselves with lines aluched to the siamp ol the foremast, Then wih what patience and endurance they could muster they looked down at the ruin beneath thom, the breaking decks aud the raging waters, Nor was their post as spectators a particularly enviable one, ‘The sea would now and then break over them algo, drenching them to the bone and chilling them to the marrow as the icy water dripped from their clothes while they stood in cramped positiocs, Uncomiortably huddled together, That night, just as the sun was going down, a British bark was sighted a long distance to leeward of them, but evidently beating up toward the brig. Belore the darkness hud tinally closed about them this unknown vessel had como within a quarter of a mile of the foundering sbip, and every eflort was made to | communicate wilh ths stranger, A flag of distress had been nailed to the mast before the brig bad reached its then terrible condition, and it was thought by all on board that the bark must lave seen it flying. A TORCH OF DISTRESS. Not content with this, however, an extraordinary signal hght was manufactured by wrapping a woollen rug, torn from the jacket of one of the suilors, about a long-bundled iron spoon, saturating it with kei ofl, and then getting it on fire, ‘his torch, held aloft by'a sturdy arin, and waved to and fro ia swaying circles, would burn two or three minutes belore it wontout It was repeated by being resoaked and re- lighted, and for two long hours the pititul taper, the jode star, however, of 60 many enxious eyes, was waved in Vain; for the bark. gave no answering sig- nal of help or recognition, and held on ner course, apparently hecdless of the mute, but touching entreaty of the hapless group on the sinking brig. About eight o'clock in the evening sho did show, n- deed, one red and two white lights, and the pearts of the sufferers were wonderlully buoyed up by this sup- posed sign, and their answering torch was waved with fresh courage tor some time longer, Ull they rested pationtly, expecting that the coming day would bring reliel, ABANDONED TO FAT. When day broke, however, not a trace of the un- known ship could be discerned, and although they kept up a misorable pretence of hope till the middle of the day it was betore long changed to a bitter despair, “What did you think of the conduct of the Captain he bark ’’? was asked of the Captain, ‘hink, sit, My God! What could a man think, except that he wouid like to have his heart out!”’ Soon, however, with a truesailor’s magnanimity, he added :— “Perhaps aiter all he was not so much to blame, The sea was running very high, and he might not have dared torisk a boat anu his men. He probably did what he thought was best, but he ought to .have stood by us till moruing at rate, to see if the gale did not moderate by that ume. That noglect is abl that I wish to find fault with.” The sailors around assented, with varying expr sions of indorsement. SOMETHING TO BAT. The condition of these deserted men can be hardly imagined, Bound toa sinking hulk in the midstola boiling sea, with the Wind sbrieking in their ears lik: pitiless fate, they stood prepared jor the death whict threatened each moment to engulf them, As the deck broke up, however, a portion of the brig which remained comparatively out of the water was lightencd apparently, and the crew were able to descond, one or two ata tite, into the flooded storeroom and attempt to vale it out by degrees, Somotimes for a few moments the doors of the room could be thrown open, and the men baled out the water then with whatever vessels wero nearest at hand, As it was gradually cleared the group on she forecastic bogan to think of getting something to cat and drink, and the emptied storeroomn was ransucked for provisions. They toond plenty of salied meat and bard bread, burto ther dismay only about a peck of vegetables, carrois and turnips priveipaliy, and a can containing ten quarts of water only. They saw instantly that it would be necessary to very saving of this scanty allowance of fresh water, and so doled sparingly to tho eleven ‘souls on bi not dare to touch the salted efor Weir thirst unbearably, and so contented themselves with a few bits of bard bread and little pieces cut trom the tarnips. These jast they would chew till the juice was pressed out and then spit the dry fivres over- board, FOUR TADLESPOONFULS A DAY. With all their precautions, however, the water was ] exnausted by the end of the third day from the time that they bad lashed themselves to the mast, Fortu- nately, they were able to get up a little fire in the peer and boil some salt water, whicn they uulized in the following manner;—After r bad drops upon its bottom. These drops collected and the pitiful supply was furnished to eac! mau wt the rate of four tablespoontuls a day, two m the morning and two at night, Certainly this was @ near approach to the grim vision of the Ancient Mariner, with Water, water everywhere, but not » drop to drink! SAVED. The gale had scarcely abated, and the waves still broke over them all through the four days tha, they remaimed apparentiy on the verge of death, and it was with inexpressible relief thi they saw a steamer heave In sight about six o'clock o1 the evening of the 27th, which provea to be the Olympia, of the Anchor line, runping between Gibral- tar and New York, This vei id been driven about twenty miles out of her course by the gale, and just on tho point of racing her course, which would bave taken her away from the brig, when a faint light was sighted by the lookout far to leeward. Captain - Young, of the Olympia, instantly determined to put about his ship and run for the light, im the thought that it might bave been set by some vessel in need of assistance. To this large hearted benevolence the Party on board the brig Louisa consider, under Provi- dence, that they owe their lives. A bigh sea was still running, hut Captain Young, regardless of the danger ieurred in lauuching a boat, alter the steamer came up With the wreck immediately made preparations to lower one with a volunteer crew of four men, The boat was lowered successfully and came pulling over to the leeward of the wreck. The el bound to the mast, could hardly trust thoir senses as they saw the long delayed help draw near. THR MUSIC OF OARS. It was now late in the evening. and glimmering through the du: they could faintly discern the out- line of the boat and hear the measured swash of the oars which came witha glad music totheireurs. It wus ap indescribable moment, and cau be Lest left to the tancy of the reader woo puts himself in the place of these perishing men, As the boat came up to the side there was no hasty and selfish pressing forward for deliveranée. ‘The passenger was the first to jump trom the forecastle, but. taking the leap as the boat went down, he missed his footing and fell into the sea, She had on board the owner of the } from which he was plucked half drowned by one of the sailorsin the boat. The rest Judgment and tumbied into the boat than that of a few bruises. T HIS POST LIKE 4 MAX. ‘The boat made ree trips to the wreck to carry off the men, and the captain, John J. Bain, stayed by his vossel to the Inst. As the last boat load lett the orig she seemed to settle more deeply in the water and her single stick of a mast swayed sullenly with cach Finally even this was lost sight of, shrouded in the gloom that for hor never lifted, for the captain ts positive that sho t have broken to pieces in the night which fol- lowed their excupe. They had becn rescued during a temporary lull and the gale soon came on again with renewed fury, leaped with moro nO greater cost CAPTAIN YOUNG’S KINDN: “We cared little for that though,” the captain, for wo were then sately and warmly shelteroa in the hospitable cabing of the steamer. We lost everything except the few rays which we bad on our backs, but what was that if our lives were saved? Didn’t we just gulp ‘down the water, though, when we got on board; I lieve that I swallowed myself more than two quarts in the firet half hour.’? Both captain and crew are loud in their praiges of the unstinted kindness of Cap- tain Young, of the Columbia, bis officers and crew. “You can’t pitch it too strong, sir,” said a sailor to the reporter, who was taking notes, and bis words were echood by au assenting chorus. ‘Their wet clothes were changed and dried; they were fed on the best and every attention was lavished on them to make them forget, if possible, the fearful experience of that last week, The Columbia arrived at this city yesterday, and the captain and crew of the brig Lave been received at the British Sailors’ Home terough the agency of the British Consul. fhere they were gathered last night, and their furrowed faces and general weather beaten air bore wit- ness tothétruth of the story which bas just been narrated, A complete list of all on board the brig Louisa fa appended ;—Gilbert Sanderson, owner; John Wilson, passenger; John J.

TWO WORTHY OFFICERS. Guenpive’s Crexx, M. T., Dec, 17, 1876. To tux Epitor or THe HeraLp:— Your correspondent, in his account of General Mile’s Hight with Sitting Bull, October £1, 1876, fails to mention the names, and part taken In tho action, of two officers who bore quite prominent parts—Lieuten ants Woodruff and Bowen. Both aro New Yorkers one, Mr, Woodruff, from New York city and Mn Bowen, from Buftalo. Before the action opened—that is, before the first shot was fired—Captain Varter, Company K, was or- dered to clear the high ridge on theright of the line, which he did in gallant style and without firing a shot; he and hia men steadily advancing up tho steep height until reaching the summit, constantly menaced by the Indians, Captain Carter's gallant conduct has already been mentioned by your correspondent. While Captain Carter was securing the commanding ridge on the right Lieutenant Bowen was performing what has not been recorded, and which secured to tho lett parallel benefits to those gained by Captain Car- ter tothe right. With but seven men from Company Aho advanced toa hillon the left, carried 1 and placed hts mere handful of men in such a@ position as to cover tho higher and more commanding position, now advanced upon by Lieutenant Rousseau, with Company H, This hill was very steep and overhang- ing; moreover, it was literally lined with ‘‘bostiles,” Firing now began, and the shells of the Rodman gun, together with the close firing of Lieutenant Bowen's party, rendered the high bill so hot for the Indians that they considered “discretion the better part of valor,” and vamoosed. If it hud not been for Lieu- tenant Bowen’s party Lieutenant Rousseau must have lost fearfully in clearing the hill. Lieutenant Woodrufl, who was acting as aid-de- camp to General Miles, was the tirst to reach tho bill. top, followed by Licutenants Rous: ana Company They were soon joined by Lieutenant Bowen and his party. Lieutenant Woodruff bebaved most gallantly during the fight, riding now here, now there, as the orders of the General carried bim to and tro. " Both be and Lieutenant Bowen are young officers of sterling qualities and of fine promise. Lieutenant Woodruff 1s now on General Pope's stuff. T send this briet statement of facts to do justice to the promising young men who seemed to have been placed in the background. FAIR PLAY, AN “OF FICER CLUBBED.
