while on a visit to Columbus a few days
since, through the courtesy and clever attentions
Of our friends Lieut. ED. DAILY, Of the 18th Ten
nessee regiment, and Capt LAMBERT, Of Col
Tappan's regiment, both Of Us hom participated
the bloody fight Of tie eth November, we were
shown over the battle field Of Belmont There
remains ct present but little Go be seen except a
few dead horses, bullet marks upon the trees
and bushes. and the graves of The fallen Lincoln
ties. Yet there is a melancholy pleasure in
being shown the positions which our brave boys
occupied during the engagement, and the shots
where many of them fen. The blood Of young
FARRAB as wei as that of many others whose
names we do not now remember, is yet visible
on the ground, and is sadly pointed cat TO Wis
lors by their surviving Comrades.
We followed the course Of the retreat and
pursuit some nile and a half from the river, TO
the place where Capt J.. WELBY ARMSTRONG
was Shutdown. The gallsntco Of this gentle
man s spoken Of ia the highes. terms by al who
witnessed his actions and conduct during the
d4y After the first -epuIss in Tire morning and
after fresh supply of ammunition had been
sent to our troops, he made a patriotic appeal TO
lis company, the Sons Of Erin" and Tallying
around him some two hundred soldiers, he stuck
lds cap upon the end of lis sword, and holding
itup, called upon them 10 follow him, and was
really the first to lead the thanking movement on
the right Placing himself in the way Of the
snemvs retreat, he poured into them such a
CALLING fire as TO throw utter CONSERVATION
and confusion among them. He and Colonel
D0UGHERTY fell near the same place.
Tho whole appearance OF the field indicates a
desperate engagement, and the FIRE of our troops
upon the reressiug foe is said to have been ter
rife. The marks lea upon the trees and bushes
fully attest this fact, and from all the accounts
we received from those who participated in the
engagements, we doubt whether a more terrible
conflict Of musketEy ever took place on the con
tinent.
Altosethsr, cur visit 20 the battle field was
highly satisfactory, and viii be treasured up as
one of the melancholy "reminiscences of life.
We found the troops at Columbus enjoying
good health AID IN fine spirits. They are all.
busily engaged in telling timber, cutting logs,
splitting boards, aud building small wooden hab-
i-ztioas for Their winter quarters. We found our
friends, Co.'s. PICKETT aud TILN8N, comforta-
bly, housed in 3 dwelling which happened to fall
within the lines Of their ~encampment. Col.
STEPHENS, Of the Oh Tennessee, has also com
fortably provided himself for the winter, as has
also Col NJ J.. WRIGHT, and others whose quar-
ters We visited. By the time winter sets in, it Is
believed all our troops at Columbus viii be well
shielded from the weather. They all seem cheer
ful and happy, notwithstanding the hardships
Of camp life aud have SO intrenched themselves,
that it viii require an overwhelming force to
