A person visiting the battle field at Bel
hiont, Mo two days after the fight, mem
tions The following incidents: -
80, the river bank we found number
of our dead and hef. it was that one of
the most heart rending scenes of the battle
was enacted. Capt. Brooks OF Bniords
regiment. came spon the dead body of his
owh brother, WHO was surgeon IN the
rebel army; he knew he was rebel sur
pccn. but did not know he was in the en-
eaeement until he stumbled ottr his corpse.
The SC nc is described MS affecting in the
extreme and it certainly f0rms one of the
most thrilling and horrible incidents in this
unholy rebellion. Capt Brooks buried his
brother md put slab at the head of his
grave Al this point Great many OF the
enemy's dead had been thrown off the en-
bankment to escape our notice, but we saw,
where they had been dragged and pitched
off the bank. One of our party looked
over, contrary TO express orders, and saw;
rs lie supposes, setenty-five or one hun
bred of bleeding and manglrd corpses,
hea1 ed on heaps. among the dismaniled
rebel artillery. Having buried our dead
some 50 in number--and bringing away
about 20 Of our wounded. we again reached
our Transports. Our dead Were mostly ~
ing upon their backs, and everything taken
from their bodies that could be Of value 70
the enemy. The countenances Of the dead
were mostly expressive of rage. One or
two features were expressive Of fear. One
poor fellow after he was wounded, be-
thought himself to take a smoke; he was
found ina sitting position against tree,
dead with his pipe in one hand, knife in an
other. and his tobacco on his breast. A
wounded man, with both legs nearly shot
Off was found in the woods singing the
" Star Spangled Banner" but for this cir
cumstance the surgeons say they would not
have discovered him. Among the many
acts If heroism tod Of those engaged, is
that Of mere youth, little boy who was
attached 70 Tappan's Arkansas regiment
(rebel). and carried two mimic flags. one in
each hand The regiment was driven to
the waters edge and the federal troops
poured in terrific volley, killing many Of
them who fell in the river. and such rs were
not instantly Kill d met waiery grave.
Among those struck was the little boy who
bore the flags. Giving one last hurrah.
which was cut short by the ebbng food Of
his young life, he waved the flags over his
head, tottered into the river and was seen
no more"
