A Federal soldier who was in the
battle of Pikeville, Kentucky, writes to his
friends graphic description Of his sensa-
tions during the fight:
And now for my share in the battle. I
was riding along carelessly, when crack
crack crack went their rifles, and down
went our men. Crack crack crack they
came. OFF jumped from my horse, when
along came the Major and gave me his
horse to hold but soon hitched them both
to tree down by the river and sprung
again up the bank, when whiz went a bull
let past my face, about three inches from
it, and made me draw my head back in q
hurry, can assure you. L looked up the
hill, but could see no one for the smoke,
which was plenty, so l leveled in the direc-
lion of the enemy and fred-loaded again
and fired. got my rifle in readiness
again. All that ball was pretty close.
Here comes another-buzz, buzz-(you can
hear their whiz for fully hundred yards
as they come)-get out of the way. But
where is it to go to? Whew! that was
close. But, great God it has gone through
a mans shoulder within few yards of me
He falls some of his comrades pick him
up.
Now a horseman comes past in q hurry.
He is right opposite me-when whiz, crack !
ball strikes his horse in the foreshoulder.
Off tumbles the man. down falls the horse
stiffened out and dead. If the bullet had
gone through the animal, itwould doubtless
have struck me.
Here they come, dozen or more. How
they whiz as they go pastl Load and
fire ~ load and fire |" is the order-and
load and fire it is. My notice was especially
drawn to very fne-looking man, who
stood close to me, and he truly acted like a
hero-loading and firing just as if he was
on parade, when whiz whiz comes bull
let. My God how close. 1t almost stunned
me When l looked toward my soldier,
/ saw his comrades lifting him up. He was
shot through the breast, and died in less
than half an hour. Oh the horrors of war
Vengeance on the heads of those who initi-
ate it.
l directed my attention up the hill; !. 6
little puff of smoke was dying away
"Boys," says l to the squad of his fellows
"you see that smoke; aim for it, rebel:
in its rear" l raised my Enfield and
glancing through its sights, when for q
moment caught sight of man through the
bushes and smoke there. Crack went our
gun, and all was over.
We crossed to the place afterward and
found the mans body. He had four out o.
twelve musket balls, and one Enfield rife
ball-mine, as mine was the only rifle bal
fired. They all went through him; eithe
of which would have killed him-minl
through his breast Thank God l haC
done my duty for the poor fellow who fel
beside me.

Fugitive slaves In Camp.

General Halleck has sigualized his entrance
upon the duties of the Missouri Department by
issuing order which will be almost univer-
sally approved throughout this State. Its pur.
port is just this: that the army under his com
mand is not to engage in the business of steal
ing and secretiDg negroes. 1t Is we'll known
that mapy Of the alleged fugitive slaves who
find their way into the Union camps, are moth
ing more or less than spies, sent thither by
crafty masters, OF used by Secession leaders to
ascertain the strength and position of the loyal
forces. So we'll DO some of these colOrsd per
sons learn their lessons and practice their parts
that iDs ances have not been rare wherein the
enemy by these agencies has become accurately
informed Of important movements or gained
intelligence of the utmost interest. If the fug
itiVes are not we'll enough trained to make the
desired Investigations themselves, they are not
uDfTequently employed as the messengers and
go bstWeens of white traitors within our lines
10 convey information to the rebels concerning
subjects upon which the latter are anxious 10
be posted. In the nature of things il is neat
TO impossible 10 discriminate among q number
of "contrabands," which are the real fugitives
and which the rebel, talebearers, and one way
to make sure in the premises is to shut them all
out.
We know that the Enaneipatienists and
AboIitioniats are exercised into spasms by the
idea of "exeludipg the distressed negro from
the protection cf the Governmeht" 1t has
not, however, been definitely established that
black skin entities the sufferer to any more
consideration than that given to white persons,
other things being equalj and If the mission of
the Federal armies Is to feed the hungry, clothe
the naked, and shelter the sheltsrlesS, ample
opportunity for the display Of Government
philanthropy might be obtained without dis
turbipg any Of the relations recognised by the
constitution and ordained by our laws. There .
fore We say that the policy set forth in the or
der Of General Halleek is a just and commend
able one, outside Of the reason publicly q :
signed for Its prVmulgGtiOn.- LOUis Req.

A gentleman in London who had not
lived long in his house, went to the seaside
for week or two, leaving every thing safe,
and his furniture locked up in the several
rooms. When he returned it was late at
night, and he could not find his house. 1t

and carried away in his absence The as

was found that person of fashionable exte-
Iior had called upon furniture dealer, and,
upon some pretext that he wished to emf
CRATE, asked him to value the furniture in the
house. An estimate was given, the bargain
was struck, and every thing in the house
was taken away. The thief then went to

A Patriot Of the Right Stamp.

Under this head the Savannah (Ga. }
Republican pays the following deserved
trioute to the great statesman of the
West-Stephen a. Douglas: 49,.
"Senator Douglas has set noble ex,
ample of disinterested patriotism to the
Northern politicians who are standing in
the way of their country's peace. While
others are holding back and quibbling
under the selfish pretense of pride and
consistency. the Senator from Illinois has
the moral courage and manly patriotism
to ignore himself and 60 alone for his
country He is reported to have said at
late meeting of the Senate Committee
of Thirteen, that he was prepared to do
any thing which the necessities of the case
may require, withoutreference to anything
he may have done, or any opinion he may
have advanced in the past He is not
afraid to be called incons;stent; he has
loflier purposes than personal advance
meut when the Union is in danger. Were
majority of Congress constituted of such
men, every State would get her rights in
the Union, and we should have universal
peace in thirty days"
