Tho mountaineer of Tennessee- Is a curious combination He is Ignorant, but courteous, unlearned, but shurp, overty poor, but open banded, suspicious and cunnlnp, yet scorning any unfair advan tnge llo Is shiftless, but virtuous, most always a sinner, as tho word goes, yet holding to some of tho commandments with a grip more tenacious than a Chris tian's. 1 have eaten his hoe cake and pos sum, slept beforo his rodo fireplace, walked and hunted with him, studied him from all sides, aud yet ho is as much of an enigma as tho day'l first saw him Ono evening, after a hard day's climb In tho mountains beyond Athens. 1 camo upon a log cabin near tho road I said evening, because everything after 12 is "evening" in tho south It was about 5 o'clock in tho afternoon A man sat on a log at the door smoking aud whittling, three children vvero playing about, and a woman sat on tho door sill with elbows on her knees and her faco in her hands As I came near tho man looked up and said "Howdy, stranger?" Tho woman slowly lifted a faco tho color of a sunflower, gazed at mo for half a ininute, aud then added. "IlowdyV" Tho children sat down on tho log in n bashful way, each sucking a linger, and tho father pocketed his knife, knocked tho ashes from his pipe and continued "Make yerself right to hum, stranger Children, bring the gourd, and you, Jen, hunt up a bite to eat " 1 explained that all I asked was a drink of water aud soma information about iho route, but he spoko up with considerable energy "You must stop with us to-night. There's no other place for ten miles whar' they are fixed to take you in " I demurred and ho inMsted, and I finally sat down besido him Wo had srareely begun a conversation when tho Vomau looked up and drawled. "Say. Hi " "WhutV" "Better git yer gun." "Why?" " 'Cause Robinson's coming." The man vou up. passed tho woman, ijid next moment came out with a rilio in his hands He stood on the log and looked down tho road, and as I cast my eyes in that direction I suw a man leave tho road aud take to a tree "Yes. that's Robinson, host ".Stranger, you'd Children, lay lowl Jen, muttered my better squat! look out fur yourself I" I s-at down on tho ground besido the log, while tho children took cover on tho other sine Tho woman never moved. "Who is Robinson and what does ho want?" I finally asked "Lives down on the creek, and wants to shoot me." was tho calm reply "Ho's gittiu yer raugo, llil" remarked, rather than exclaimed, tho woman. Next moment a bullet whistled over my head and the report of Robinson's rill camo to our ears "Ho couldn't hit a barn at tho end o his gunl" muttered Hi, who stood with riflo ready to raise to his faco There was a long silence, and then ho stepped down and said "Uuess wod better go In, stranger Robinson's an onery skunk, and is prob ably creepiu' up on us for a clusser shot Jist don't mind us, but make yerself to hum." "The door hud not been shut to after ns as wo entered tho cabin when a bullet struck it This aroused the spirit of the woman, aud she exclaimed "There. Hi Skivens. didn't I alius say Robiuson was a coward?" "Yes, you alius did " "And you bev got to wipe him out?" "Yes, I hev Tuin't uo use puttin up with him uo moah " "Ilavo you and Robinson been at this thing very long?" I asked, as I sat down. " 'IJout three years " "It's what they call a feud, is it?" "That's tho name, I guess I'd have had him twice if my gun hadn't missed fire, and he s hit mo once " 'Only a trilio. though," added the woman, as if I would regard tho wound as n stain upon his honor "I'd like to see tho man as could kill pop!" exclaimed tho oldest child, a girl of 10. "Go long, Nancy, and tako that with youl" said the mother, as she bestowed a bound cuff on tho ear Robinson now fired a bullet through tho only front wiudow aud uttered u war whoop. .'(join' to stand it?" queried tho woman as she looked over to her husbaud "In coiirco not Stranger. I'm sorry for this miihs That onery Robiuson lias took advantage of your beiu' hero to raise a. furze Don't blanio it on to mo." I excused him and asked him for tho origin of the feud Ho could not gi o a clear reason, and after ten minutes' argu nient ho contented to let mo go out and talk witli Robinson I opened tho door, waved tho oulv white- cloth tho woman could find in tlio house, and soon after went out. Robiuson was behiud a treo across tho road "Howdy, btranger?" ho queried as I camo up. "Has Hi surrendered?" When I told himthat I had come to act as a peacemaker ho laughed tho idea to Bcoru. "Didn't ho toll a hull bar room full of fellers at Athens that ho could put mo on my backr" ho liuwlod. "And what olfcoY" "Didn't ho call mo a sassafras chewer and make fun of my shootinY' I went back to HI. and ho roaiwl out "Didn't ho brag of how ho could out jump me?" "Whutelset" "Didn't ho say wo run of! darin the war?" , , I wont back to Itobhiion, and lust as darkuoss bottlod down I twit-hod up a truco.

A PLUCKY .MULE, RUNNING THZ GAUNTLET OF A CONFEDERATE CANNONADE. Itnullnc n Load of Ammunition Under 1 Iro from I'ort Sumter mill Mattery Wiikiifi Critical Ztlunient the Ijtst Shot Safe. Sometimes tho mulo is called upon for special service, requiring qualities for which ho does not generally receive credit, Tho lines were tightening about Charleston when Admiral Dahlgren's lleet began orntions in tlio harbor, and rendered it practicable for tho troops on shore to ndvanco with sonio hoo of being able to hold txiints previously untenable. During tho night n detachment of the Tenth corps dislodged a picket post tm tho eastern end of Morris island, and wheu daylight came had thrown up quite aformid able beginning for a field work. Uutthoplaco was within easy range of Fort Sumter and Battery Wagner, and every Confederate gun that could Ik) brought to bear began to drop shell into the littleoarthwork. It was thought that an attempt was nlioiit to bo made to carry tho place by assault, and, while there wero men enough to hold it, they weroa little short of ammunition, Tho only practicable road was a milo and a half of hard, smooth sand beach, commanded from cud to end by the Confederate batteries. But there was n combination in tho Federal camp that was equal to tho emergency; namely, a fleet mulo and a plucky driver. Tho mulo is mentioned llrst, ouly lecauso ho has long since kicked his last kick, but tho driver, if lie still survives, will acknowledge that without tho mulo ho could not lmvodono what ho did. It may bo assumed that tho mule had a good feed of oats beforo ho was .1.- .1.. , .!!.,.. v4utt.-vt o'uo iu inn iuu giiuimei, iiuti jHissioiy tlio driver, too, may then havo felt justified in fortifying the inner man. Be that as it may, just beforo noon a few boxes of ammu nition wero thrown intotho lightest avallablo wagoti, and, after looking tho harness over carefully, tho driver took his seat in tho shelter of tho sand hills. Tho mulo stood with his extensivo ears raking aft und a wicked gleam iu his eye, ns if tho outs were beginniug to riso into his brain. "Gootl-by, boysl G'up, muler' and tho equipago started down through tho dry sand to the hard level of the beach. Mulo shook his head nnd executed a tlemi-volt when ho felt the damp sand under his feet, but driver soothed him witli endearing words. It had not not yet dawned upon tho Confederates that ths expedition was intended for the relief of tho garrison. But presently tho gleam of intel ligence was indicated with a rush in tho shapo of a 6hell from tho southeast angle of Sumter. It struck tho water fairly in line, ricocheted, and burst over in tho marsh; but it was tho signal for action. Up went tho whip, and tlio mulo gathered his mighty hind legs under him. For a mo ment it was uncertain whether ho was going to kick or run, but a few remarks from tlio driver convinced him that .there was .de mand for forward movement, so ho "lit out for all ho was worth." At least thirty guns commanded that streteli of beach, mid they pounded away as fast um they could be fired. Now aud then a shell would burst rather too near tho mule's ears for comfort, and ho would nlieer violently and try to muko for homo. But tho gallant driver plied the lash, and held him to his work. At length a ten inch shell toro up tho beach and exploded so near that the mulo was entirely demoralised; but not so his driver. Leaping down from his seat ho caught tho mulo by tho head, backed him rapidly round once or twice, and was oir again on tlio keen Jimii) before the cuiincrs could get his raugo us a fixed object. On ho 1 went, anil at last dashed into tho redoubt; but thero was no shelter in it for tho mule. His ears waved conspicuously above the low lying parajict. Tho ammunition boxes wero tumbled out unceremoniously, and themule's nose tainted1 for homo! With the lightened load and the prospects of unlimited fodder, ho beat the pre vious record. But the Confederate artillerists wero ou their metal now. They had failed to stop tho supplies, but their hearts burned for revenge. Their shots, now camo more from tho roar, nnd liet.s wero freely offered with no takers, on what tho result would lie should tho mule havo a fair chance to kick a ten inch shell, as it were, "on (lie fly." Tim crescendo scream of shell chasing him up tho beach, lent wings to li is heels, and he lairly flow toward the sheltering sand hills. There wero only a few rods nioro to bo covered, when somo careful gunner mado u close cal culation ns to the lengthening range, and pulled his lanyard almost in tho nick of time. Tho huge moss of iron struck tlio Iteach, as it 6ccmed to tho anxious sjiectators, exactly be hind tho wagon, and tho next instant noth ing was to bo been thero but u cloud of white smoke and brown sand. Iu an instant, how ever, this flouted away, and tho mulo was seen vigorously reducing to kindling wood what was left of the quartermaster's wagon. And tho driver, where is he Well, ho was apparently knocked over by tho explosion, but ho got on his feet in a moment, and, having cut tho traces, was on tho mule's back in another, waving his hat in rcsponso to tho cheers that rolled across tho water from Yaukeo blue jackets, from Confederate garrisons, and from tho dark bluo masses that crowned tho distant utuil dunes. It is a pity that the driver's niinio has not been preserved, for his daring net certainly deserves recognition and reward. Perhaps ho received both, but tho writer has been un nblo to And mention of the fuct. Adrian Ilcxford in Ameriuaii Magazine.
