A Scene After a Battle-HOrrers of
War.


The following graphic sketch, from the pen
of an English officer, who served with his re-
giment throughout the war against the Sepoy
mutineers in India, describes the field of battle
after the victory of Mundasoore:
A battle field Immediately after the action
is no very inviting scene. More than one
sense is sickened by the objects around the
air is tainted, and death stares you in the face
IN most hideous forms swollen and bloated
caTcasses covered with vulIures, or being torn
to pieces by the parish dogs; cOrpses lying up
IN heap burnt TO a clnder some without
vestige of clothing, others lying peacefully as
they tell; the village was almost too tool TO
pass through; almost every house had its in
mates OF dead in some ghastly form or other;
what the sword had commenced the fire had
ended.
Death and black ruin lay everT where to-
geIhe. Spite of all this, one old woman, who
seemed nearly eighty years Of age, had re-
manned there, witness of the fearful consul
nation. Perhaps she was too feeble TO fiy, or
held the little life then flowing in her veins too
worthless to proong. She appeared starving
as she sat on stone feebly signing and drink
ing water from little earthen vessel. There
was no one to comfort her, and the soldlery
passed her by as they would dog Down
well, not far from the village, we found man
hiding IN a recess of the earth. Hew long he
had been there no one knew, but he was too
feeble 10 ascend by rope which was thrown
down to him,
However, we held him up, and when he
gained the top he was too week to stand. Some
brandy and water and native bread were offer,
ed to him by Maj Boneau but this he refused,

discovered in tree, where he must have beer

vIded, and the bird was made prisoner and sent
into camp.
ln one of the fields an old woman was found
with her right leg shattered by u shell in an
other lay a little girl of about nine with her
left leg shattered All over the maiden were
scattered English books, papers, envelopes,
ladies, silk dresses covered with blood, bonnets,
parasols, elegant drawing room chairs, and
other things the rebels hah pLundered from
Neemuch and other stations. The village still
smouldered; the high crops were all beaten
down; the earth torn up; nullahs filled with
furniture, dead cattle and men; heaps Of ashes
here and there, with charred corpses in theil
centres; the air was laden with sckenng gases

Disappointed Hopes,

While nothing is more futile than the at
tempt TO predict the results of the struggle
through which our people are about to pass,
there are few points which may already be
set down as infallibly certain. Ii is certain
for example, that the men who have misled
the South INTO It's present runious position will
be called to rigid account. Every day disclo.
ses some fresh miscalculation on the strength
Of which secession has been grounded; false
estimates of aid and sympathy TO be expected
from the North; false estimates of the cour.
age, energy and sef-assertion of the Govern
ment; unreasonable expectations of foreign
support, TO be won by diplomacy, or command.
ed by cotton; exaggerations Of their own re-
sources and powers of endurance all these de.
lusiOns have been persistenly aud confidently
inculcated by men of presumed wisdom and
and statesmanship; and their vanity is already
demonstrated. 1t is as if the principal part

capital, promises to pay, all of which, at matu-
rlty, proved worthless. The business, of ne
cesslty, collapses.
OF these damaging blunders, none is proba.

timent of bitter hostility. England, France,
Mexico, these unhappy people have been taught
would eagerly embrace an opportunity to sus
tain the South, and SO establish claims to the
gratitude and regard OF people, upon whose
productions or neighborly Offices they are SO
largely dependent. Enough hns been heard
from those countries 10 expose the emptiness
of this expectation. The good wishes of man.
kind everywhere are openly uttered on the
side of the Federal Government.
Not only has this misguided population be.
| fore it a contest with the inexhauslibe means
and spirit of the North, but with the public
opinion OF the world and antagonist which
even emperors and autocrais never needlessly
challenged.
For thus betraying them into the abandon
ment of that perfect peace and prosperity over
which their own orators SO eloquently exulted
and into the loss of that honorable position
and creditable nationality which all men res
pected. their leaders will have to give fear
! ful account.
And unless their leaders can goad them TO
deportation, and postpone reckoning that must
be fatal to themselves by the hurry and fury
OF the conflict, it lie quite possible the day oi
vengeance will be reached before the war shall
| be ended.

Influence of Song.

The influence of music upon the mind and
heart of man is most potent. Whether it
reaches MIN in the martial clang of The trum-
pet, the shrll whistle of the fife, the deep,
sonoFous tones oFthe organ, the mellow tinklings
OF the gultar, the merrler notes of the violin,
or the tender voice of the singer, memories
are called forth or feelings excited which only
music can produce. How often, when listen
ing to an old ballad, tears will come, and
scenes and incidents of vanished years rise to
memory--the past, with all its buried pictures.

Of home. we see the cottage that stands near

ed, wewander near she lake where droop-
ed the willow, longe time ago. Indeed, "that
piece of song, that old and antique song we
heard last night" fails to awaken. Music is
the golden key that opens the palace of
eternity" Inspired by martial strains, the
soldier marches unquallingly up to the can
mons mouth. In listening TO a solem anthem,
the devotional feelings ofthe soul are excited :;
and gay and lively measures incite the young
TO trip 1t on the light fantastic toe. The poet
who writes the songs Of a nation exercises
greater power than be who rnles over them.
The latter possesses merely q temporal power ;
the formers lasts for all time, and often exerts
an influence when the poet himself has passed
from earth. Not a great while ago, there ap-
peared in one of the weekly papers n article,
entitled " VINO Writes our Songs :" in which
credit was given TO ore, who, though he is the
author Of several popUlar melodies, could not
jnsty be named as the sole writer of our songs.
/ We have taken pains TO compare the lists Of
songs credited to this gentleman, with those
which bear the rams of Jo n R. Thomas, as
the composer, and find they do not equal, either
as regards number or popularity, the songs
accredited to the last-named. Among the
most equisite and favorite compositions issued
by William Hall and Son and Firth, Pond and
Co, the prominent music publishers in this
city, we 6ud those by Mr.. Thomas hold an en-.
