A Presentiment of Death.

It seems that the leader of the federal forces at the recent great battle near Springfield, Mo-, could not dispossess himself ofth idea that that fight was to be his last.
 The correspondent of a St. Louis paper, says, on the Wednesday before the battle, Gen. LYON said to him.
 "Well, begin to think our term of soldiery is about completed. have tried earnestly to dis charge my whole duty to the government, and appealed to them for reinforcements and sup plies but alas, they do not come, and the enemy Is getting the advantage of us."
 General Lyon, on Wednesday, called coun- ell of war, according to the authority here quot ed and the result was decision in favor of the plead eloquently against such a course, declar- ing it would be the ruin of the Union cause in that portion of the State and urged battle as soon as they were in striking distance. He pointed out the loss of reputation to the general and his officers which would follow such course. This council decided the course to be pursued, and Thursday, when the Brigade Quartermaster en- quired when we were to leave Springfield, Gen. eral Lyon replied, mot before we are whipped If he retreated without battle, he said he would be pursued by an unpunished enemy, and very likely have his retreat entirely cut off.
 For three or four days before the battle, Gen. eral Lyon changed much in appearance Since it became apparent to him that he must aban- don the Southwest or have his army cut to pieces, he had lost much of his former energy and decison To one of his staff he remarked the evening before the battle q am a man believing in prsentiments, and ever since this night surprise was planned, 1 have had feel ing l cannot get rid of, that it soould result dis astrouslg. Through the refusal of government properly to reinforce. me 1 am obliged to aban- don the country. If l leave 1t without engag ing the enemy the public will call me a coward. If engage him l may be defeated, and my command cut to pieces. am too weak to hold | Springfield, and yet the people will demand that bring about battle with the very enemy l cannot keep town against. How can this re- suit otherwise than against us!'
 On the way to the field I frequently rode near him. He seemed like one bewildered, and often when addressed failed to give any recog- nition, and seemed totally unaware that he was spoken to. On the battle field he gave his or ders promptly, and seemed solicitous for the welfare of his men, but utterly regardless ofhi own safety While he was standing where bull lets Jew thickest just after bis favorte horse

How A SOLDIER FEELS IN BATTLE.-The fol lowing, which went the rounds of the press some time ago, is possessed of additional interest now:
 young French officer thus writes of his first experience in battle:
 Our officers sent us back, for we were not numerous enough to charge upon the enemy This was more prudent, for the murderous fire so fatal to the white coats did but little harm.
 Our concal balls penetrated their dense mas ses, while those of the Austrians whistled past our ears and respected our persons. IL was the first time l had faced fire nor was l the only one. We'll, am satisfied with myself True, lodged the first balls, but Henry " did the same at the beginning of every battle. It IS in fact, physical effect, independent of the will.
 But this tribute paid, if you could only feel how each shot electrifes you! It is like whip on racers legs. The balls whistle past you, turn up the earth around you, kill one, wound another, and you hardly notice them. You grow intoxicated; the smell of gunpowder mounts to your brain. The eye becomes blood shot, and the look is fixed upon the enemy There Is something of all the passions in the terrible passion excited in a soldier by the sight of blood and the tumut of the battle.
 Everybody who has tried it, testifes to the peculiar intoxication that is produced by being in battle. There is an infatuating influence about the smell of powder, the whistle of bull let, and the sight of human blood, that instant ly transforms men from towards to heroes from women sometimes to monsters. No one can tell of the nature or mstery of that infu- ence but those who have been in the fray them selves.

was shot from under him, some of his officers interposed and begged that he would retire from the spot and seek one less exposed. Scarcely raising his eyes from the enemy, he said;
 '' It Is well enough that 1 staad here. l am satisfied"
 While the line was forming for the charge against the rebels in which he lost hi5 life, Gen. Lyon turned to Major Sturgi5, who stood near him and remarked:
 T fear that the day is lost; if Col, Segel had been successful he would have joinel us before this, | think 1 will lead this charge.'
 He had been wounded in the leg in an carly part of the eagagement-a flesh wound merely from which the blood flowed profusely. Ma for Sturgis during the conversation noticed blood on General Lyons hat, and at first supposed that he had been touching 1t with his hand, which was wet with blood from his leg. 4 mo ment after, perceiving that 1t was fresh, h9 re. moved the generals hat, and asked the caase of it's appearance. "Itis nothing Maior nothing but wound in the head" said Gen. Lyon, turning away and mounting his house. With out taking the hat held out to him by Major Sturgis he addressed the Iowians he was to command with
 "ForaoGrd men I aoiU lead yoa :"
 Two minutes afterwards hs lay dead on the field, killed by rife ball through the breast, just above the heart. In death his features wore the same troubled and puzzled expression that had been fixed upon them for the past week. His body was brought to town in the af ternoon, and will be forwarded to his friends in Connecticut for interment.

At the battle of" Oak Hills" near Springfield, Missouri, on the 10th inst, large numbers of horses and mules, arms and daccoutrements, etc, of the army, and of our own wounded men, were UNLAWFULLY and FELONIOUSLY AP- PROPRIATED by Camp followers. These miscreants in some cases secrete their ill-gotten plunder; in others, they offer it for sae as prop erty taken from the Dutch." It is the prop erty-in every instance-of the Confederate States No private person whatever, is enti- tied to its possession or proceeds. The taking and retaining it is STEALING-let it be what ii may-I therefore appeal to all lawabiding citizens wherever resident, to aid in retaining such stolen property and have it turned over to an officer of the Confederate army; and arrest the persons having it in their possession, that they may be brought to justice.
 Persons who have taken down or removed teegraphic wire, either in Arkansas or Missou- ri, are also hereby required to deliver the same, without delay, to the Operator at Fayetteville, Arkansas and are cautioned not to commit such depredations in future.

 THE DEATH OF BARTow.-The circumstan- ces of the death of the gallant deceased were told by the speaker in eloquent con clusion of his remarks. While the battle was raging Col Barlow had ridden up to Gen. Beauregard and said: "Show me what now is to be done, and if human ef- fort can accomplish it, will do it." The General replied with pointed finger, |" that battery must be taken" Instantly seizing the standard of his own regiment, and ac- companied by the Virginia forces, Col. Barlow led the van of the gallant and des- perate assault A ball wounded him slightly and killed his horse. Again mount. ed, he led and cheered his men. The next wound was ball which entered his heart
 His last words were memorable: "7he9 have Killed noe, but neper gave up Me Jfeld."

These journals have readers and subscribers that approve of their sentiments, and their number in the aggregate would make a larger army than Lincoln will get together.

For this purpose four gentle men of Alexandria went to the Confederate lines and made their request to be allowed to have the body, and returned encouraged to believe that they will be successful. With this effort the government has nothing to do-Was'ng- ion Star.
 We are fully authorized to say that there IS TO truth as to the encouragement alluded to by the Star.
