SOLDIERS TEARS AND A SOLDIERS EuLooy
We have read many incidents of War, but none
more affecting or more beautiful than the following.
1t is from aetter to the New Orleans Delta, by the
writer who signs himself Mustang" = Er paper.
Passing over the battlefield OF Moline del Rev. i'm
inediateiy alter our victorious standard had been
planted on the enemys works, where lay the dead
and wounded mingled together my attention was
attracted to different places by the scenes of grief
and sorrow-scenes which panied my feelings and
shocked my sght-there found many acquuin-
tances, dead and wounded, whom had seen but a
short time previous full of health and with buoyant
spirits, marching at the head OF their commands in
the strong hope that they would soon by their noble
deeds and heroic valor, achieve fame for themselves
and glory for their country But, alas how uncer-
tain are the ways OF liie-there found the strong
youth and the aged veteran who fell side by side 10
rise no more Many Of the most noble souls of the
army, and the pride of the counrys chivalry, there
performed their last gallant acts the stage of lfe
After going over portion OF the ground and
finding here and here valued acquaintance, NV at
tantion was attracted TO gruy-headed veteran who
was standing by the side Of one who had fallen He
eisurely took his blanket from his back and spread
1t over the corpse with great care rode up to HIM
and asked him whether that was an officer. He
looked up, and every lineament of his face betoken-
ing the greatest grief, replied, "You never asked a
question, sir, more easily answered 1t is an officer
! then asked him who i was. He again replied
THE best soldier Of the 9Th Infantry SIR" then
alighted from my horse, and uncoyering the face
the soldier continued, without apparently addressing
himself to any person in paricular-'9They have
killed hiin--they will be paid for this-if il had only
been me- have served with him almost four enlist
nents--but what win his poor family say2" AND
as he concluded thus, the tears conrsed down his
furrowed cheeks, and the swelling of his bosom
showed how deeply ho was affected by the death
OF his veteran and gallant commander. Could there
have been anything more affecting than the grief
this soldier on the battlefield? and how truly sub
lime and eloquent was his reply 10 me, that It was
'the best soLdierqf The 5M L.tantry."
II the greatest orator Of the age had dwelt upon the
memory Of our departed friend, until he had en-
haused his eulogy and oloquence he could not have
said anything which would make greater impress
