Thursday Oh, how we suffered in the loss of noble, valuable men and officers. We have had a glorious victory, but what, except defeat can be so sad as such a victory,-our great leader severely wounded, our brigadier general killed, and so many of our brave fellows cut down in the prime of life. We are in all probability on the eve of a terrific battle. The two contending lie close together and at any moment may commence the work of death.
Great results hang upon the issue of the battle.
If we are victorious peace may follow if not we may look for a long and fierce war. We trust in the wisdom of our Gens. And the goodness of our Father in Heaven who doeth all things well. We hope that you enjoy your visit and that you ll stop by often.
