While sAc mighty host Of Midian
Lazy around like Ocean sands

Sweiled the trumpet's pealinx blsst';

Torn at evening lay their banners

Proudly waved their spanglsd banners
Breaihed they vengeance on the fie;-

In the valley of Manassas.

very affecting incident: -
!, together with several other gentlemen from
Montgomery, day or two ago, witnessed one of the
most affecting incidents which will probably occur
during this unholy and unnatural war; if it should
last for twenty years. We were struggling over the
battle field, examining the ground upon which we
had such bloody conflict and won such glorious
victory, two days before. We came unexpectedly
into the Centreville road and seeing house upon
our left with the usual signs betokening hospital,
one of party being physician, expressed wish
to get down and examine the wounded. Upon in
quiry we learned that stable just below the house
contained thirteen wounded Yankees: we forthwith
proceeded to the stable, and upon entering found a
Washington Artllleryman seated by the side of a
wounded soldier evidently ministering to n,m with
great care and tenderness. introduced myself to
him and asked if he aided in working the battery
which fought with the first Virginia Brigade lie
told me he did not-he had fought in a battery
lower down, and then remarked "that it was very
hard to fight as he had fought and turn and find his
brother fighting against him." at the same time
he had just risen asked if it was possible that
was his brother. "Yes, sir, he is my brother
Henry. The same mother bore us-the same mother
nurSed us. We meet the first time for seven years.
! belong to the Washington Artillery, from New
Orleans-he to the LIST Minnesota Infantry BY the
merest chance learned he was here wounded, and
sought him out to nurse and attend him." Thus
they met-one from the far North, the other from
the extreme South--on bloody field in Virginia
in miserable stable, far away from their mother,
home and friends-both wounded-the infantryman
by musket ball in the right shoulder the artillery
man by the wheel of caisson over his left hand =
Thus they met after an absence of seven years.
Their names are Frederick Hubbard. Washington

fautry. We met surgeon of one Of the Alabama
regiments and related the to him, and request
ed for the sake Of the artleryman that his brother
might be cared for. He Immediately examined and
dressed bis wounds and sent off in haste for an am.
bulance to take the wounded Yankee" to his own
regimental hospital. NJ. F.

ss HAMPTON ROADS.

The topography Of the lower part Of the Chesa-
peake Bay is easily understood from good maj. -
AT it's Southwestern corner there is broad open
ing, usually considered an arm of the bay, and
projecting westward This is the famous Hampton
roads It is in reality an estuary, the mouth OF the
James, the Nansemond and the Elizabeth Rivers;
and empties into the chesapeake by the passage
between Old Point Comfort and Wilioughby,s Point.
This strait is less than three miles across and the
channel runs nearest to Old Point Hence, Fortress
Monroe, intended to defend Richmond and Norfolk,
stands on that point, and Fort Calhoun, (the Rip
Raps) ia built or rocky pile opposite, one thou
sand nine hundred yards distant For all large
vessels therefore the strait is actually reduced to
the width Of long mile and fanked BY these forth
fcations, its passage is mpregnable SeweEs Point,
lately become so famous, lies west Of Willoughby's
Point towards the mouth Of the Elizabeth. New.
porte Nems is CAPE at the northwest corner of the
Roads, commonly considered the mouth of the
James. 1t is about seven miles from Old Point
If We Join by lines Old Point Sewell's Point and
Viewpoints News, they will form very nearly an
isosceles right angled triangle, Of which Sewelfs
Point is the apex. 7sz- ~
On the north shore of the Roads, about three
miles FROM Ole Point stands the village Of Hampton,
always town of historic interest to 'Virgnians,
now doubly SO to them, and to all Southerners, is
invaded by cruel and contemplate foe its soil pol
luted by enemies, its people insulted, its houses
pillaged its fine old Church of two centuries stand
ing threatened with fire and its streets occupied for
two hundred and fifty years by Virginians evacuat-
ed at the lnroads of hostile strangers. Fifty years
ago the people of Hampton suffered dreadful out
RACES from licentious soldlery, but that was the
license Of war with foreign enemy, bound by no
ties but those of humanity now, invaded by those
who were till lately our countrymen, pillaged and
insulted by those, whom in their cruel ngrattude,
she despises and hates, Hampton may well claim
our sympathy, and her lowly condition humbled,
