BAxARo TAYLOR ON MCCLELLAN


Bayard Taylor left Washington for Eu-
roIe just after the assault on the Massa-
ehusctts 9th in Baltimore. April 10Th
Terror then reignedin the city of Plug
Uglies. direct communication with the
capital was cut off, and the traveller was
compelled to run the gauntlet of Annapo-
lis, Havre de Grace, PerryvilIe, Sc9 Af
ter an absence of five months, Mr. Taylor
has returned, and writes a letter on his
arrival a5 Washington contrasting the as
pect of affairs in April and September.
He was in time to witness the review of
artillery and cavalry which took place
few days ago, aud thus gives his impressions
of Mcclellan By @ aa5 a5 z57ai
| had an opportunity of contrasting Nc
Clellan with a score of generals and prin-
ces. There were Mcdowell, Porter, Keyes,
Blenker, Smith and Marcy, all manly, gal
liant faces and figures of true military bear
ing; Coils. de Trobriand and Salm Salm,
With their dashing, chivalresque air; the
Prince de Joinville, twisted and stepping,
lounging on bis horse; the OrleansIPrinces,
with their mild, amiable faces, and aspect
of oflanguid interest--in all, most remark
able group of figures. A horses length
IN advance sat the smallest man in the
party, broad-sbOuldered, strong -chested,
strong-necked and strong.jawed, one hand
upon his hip, while the other, by an occa-
sional rapid motion, flung scme communi-
cation to the passing squadrons of cavalry.
The visor of his scap was well pulled down
over his eyes, yet not a man in the lines
escaped his observation. His glance seem
ed to take III at once the whole spectacle,
yet without losing any Of It's smallest de-
tails. He is commander" said my
Austrian friend. Something in his figure,
his attitude, and the square, tenacious set
of jaws, reminded me strikingly of Field
Martial Radetzky, I scanned the lines
of his face in vain for some mark of weak
ness, indecision. of timidity. All was cool
firm, prompt determined and self reliant.
If he does not Justify the hopes and ex-
pectations of the nation, physiognomy is of
no value.

entire action-had perfect possession and
command of all my faculties, and each
movement was deliberate in the midst of
danger and falling companions. T at is
NY first experience, AMI the WY l felt in
the hottest of the conflict
Now there is something strange about
this affair that | cannot understand or get
satisfactorily explained Every man of US
supposed force was going from Pa
ducah to attack Columbus at ths same time
we attacked Belmont, and that another d.
vision was approaching from the central
part Of this State to all US, but not bit
of help did we receive from either source.
This idea of sending three thousand men
to encounter fifteen thouse1l, is nearly
played out. IF assistance had come, we
could have captured both places and held
them. hear to day that the PaIucah
force is within three miles of Columbus,
but cannot vouch for it,
The enemy's loss must have been much
greater than ours, but not many Of them
were found on the field One poor fell
low, l saw, had bullet in his forehead,
and his brain stuck out as large as hens
egg; he was still al:ya.
| forgot to say we were in the fight
some six hours and half, and that the
cannonading was SO heavy that it was
heard away up here, twenty miles, very
plain. never expect to be in a severer
battle than this, during the whole war.

THE IND AN TERRITORY,

1t appears from late Southern papers
that the attempt of the Confederate ennis
saries to the tribes of the Indian Terrific
ry to induce the Indians to enlist their
fortunes with the rebels, has not been
wholly successful. The Creek nation, or
a large portion of them, have refused to
break their allegiance with our Govern.
ment; and to protect themselves and up
hold the stars and stripes they have ral-
lied their warriors to the field Accord
ing to an Arkansas paper of Oct 18th,
the Creek chief A-poth-le ho-la has force
under his command variously estimated at
from one thousand to three thousand,-
(but which the paper furnishing this news
thinks it does not exceed over three or
four hundred J. and they were taking down
the Confederate flag where it had been
raised in their nation, and upholding the
authority of the Federal Government.
The whole number of Indians in the In
dian Territory, west of Arkansas, is now
computed at sixty-nine thousand. Con-
sidering the divisions known to exist among
the Creek and the Cherokees, and that
there is no evidence that several of the
smaller tribes have joined, at all, in the
movement against the national authority,
it is evident enough that there is nothing
formidable in any aspect of the case The
grossest exaggerations have, as usual, been
INDUCED in by the rebel newspapers. In
addition to the Indians reported to be with
General Mccullough, il has been said that
there are six thousand of their warriors
with Gen. Buckner, in Kentucky. These
absurdities are in keeping with other mis-
representations in respect to the forces
Of the rebellion The leaders of it are
simply acting upon the tactics of the Chin
ese, who frightened eff their cnemies by
beating gongs,

SELECTED POETRY. /.
AN HOUR ON The OLD PLAY
GROUND

sat an hour to-day, John,
Beside the old brook stream
Where We were school boys in old time,
When manhood was dream;
The brook is choked with fallen leaves,
The pond is dried away,
scarce believe that you would know
The dear old place today.
The school house is no more, John,
Beneath our locust trees,
The wild rose by the window side Il
No more waves in the breeze
The scattered stones look desolate,
The sod they rested on
Has been plowed up by stranger hands
Since you and were gone.
The chestnut tree is dead, John,
And what is sadder now
The broken grapevine Of our swing,
Hangs on the withered bough ;
Tread our names upon the bark,
And found the pebbles rare
Laid up beneath the hollow side,
AS we had piled them there.
Beneath the grass-grown bank, JOHN,
Hooked for our old spring
That bubbled down the alder path,
Three PAGES from the swing );
The rushes grow upon the brink,
The pool is black and bare,
And net a foot, this many day,
1t seems. has trodden there.
| took the old blind road, John,
That wandered up the hill,
'Tis darker than it used to be,
And seems so lone and still
The birds sing yet upon the boughs-
Where once the sweet grapes hung,
But not a voice of human kind,
Where all our voices rung.
l sat me on the fence, John,
That lies as in old time,
The same half panhel in the path,
We used so oft to climb,
And thought how Ger the bars of life,
Our playmates had passed on,
And left me counting on this spot
The faces that are gone.

JACKSON AND HIS NEGRO SOL
DIERS.

Gen. jackson had no squeamishness a.
bout putting arms iGto the hands Of ne
groes, for the defense OF the country, and
some Of them did good service in the war
of 1872, as others had done before the
revolution. Gen Jacksou's proclamation
calling the free colored men of Louisiana
into his ranks for the defense Of New Or
leans is characteristic of the old hero
both in sentiment and language:
Proclamation to the free c0!orea residents
Of Louisiana s
Through a mistaken policy you have
heretofore been deprived of participation
in the glorious struggle for national rights
in which our country is engaged This no
longer shall exist. As sons Of freedom
you are now called upon to defend your
most inestimablc blessing As Americans,
your country looks with confidence to her
valorous children for Talorous support,
as faithful return for the advantages en-
joyed under her mild and equitable gov
ernment. As fathers, husbands and broth
ars- ynn are summoned TO rally round the
standard Of the eagle to defend all that is
dear in existence. Your country, although
calling for your exertions, does not wish
you to engage in the cause without amply
remunerating you for the services render
ed. Your intelligent minds are not to be
led away by false representations. Your
love of honor would cause you to dcspise
the man who should attempt to deceive
you. To every noble hearted freeman of
color, volunteering to serve during the
present contest with Great Britain, and no
longer, there will be paid the same boun-
ty, in money and lands now received by
the white soldiers of the United States,
viz /: one hundred and twenty four dollars
in money, and one hundred and sixty acres
of land. The non commissioned officers
and privates will also be entitled to the
same monthly pay and daily rations fur
nished to any American soldier. On en-
rolling yourselves in companies, the Major
General commanding will select officers for
your government from your white fellow
citizens. Your non-commissioned officers
will be appointed from among yourselves.
Due regard will be paid to the feelings Of
freemeu and soldiers. You VII not, by
being associated with white men in tic
same camps be exposed improper COM
parison or unjust sarcasm. As distinct,
independent battalion or regiment, pursu.
ing the path of glory, you will, undivided,
receive the applause and gratitude of your
countrymcn. To assure you of the sinceri-
ty of my intentions. and my anxiety teen-
gage your invaluable services to our cour-
try, | have communicated my wishes to
/ the Governor of Louisiana, who is fully IL
/ formed as to the manner of enrolment, and
will give you every necessary information
on the subject of the address.

The Indian Territory west of Arkansas,
contains 10000 square miles, considerably
more than all the New England States,
and is one Of the finest regions of t! at size
on the face of the globe. 1t may be said
TO be now uninhabited, contrasting its great
extent with the smallness of the number
Of its occupants. Recent events will ena-
bic the National Government to take any
measures, in reference to it, called for By
the esa eral good, the treaties with most of
the occupying tribes being abrogated by
their joining our enemies. What gives
peculiar Importance to this territory at
this time, is the feet that it is adapted to
the growth of cotton.

DELUs1oN AS 10 BAYoNET
WOUNDS.

The popular idea Of soldiers in bayo-
net charge struggling hand to land an
face to face with fixed bayonets, is likely
to be exploded like many other delusions.
We find by referring to Gutbrie's Com
mentaries on Army Surgery. that these
struggles never occur. We quote from
that authority:
A great delusion is cherished IN Great
Britain on the subject of the bayonet-a
sort of monomania very gratifying to the
National vanity, but not quite in accord
ance with matter Of fact Opposing regi-
mcnts, when formed in line, and charging
with fixed bayonets, sever meet and strug-
gle hand to hand, and foot to foot, and
this for the very best possible reason, that
one side turns round and runs away as
soon as the other comes close enough to
do mischief; doubtless considering that
discretion is the better part Of yalor.-
Small parties of men may have personal
conflicts after an affair has been decided
or in the subsequent scufle, if they cannct
get out of the way fast enough The bat
tie of Mazda is usually referred to as re-
markable instance of a bayonet fight, new
ertheless the sufferers, whether killed or
wounded, French or English. suffered from
bullets, not bayonets The late Sir John
Kemp, commanded the brigade supposed
to have done this feat, but he has assured
US that no charge with the bayonet took
place, the French being killed in line by
the fire of musketry fact which has of
late received a remarkable confirmation in
the published correspondence of King Jo-
seph Bonapart, in which General Reguicr
writing to him on the subject says
1.-The First and FOrty-secou1 regiments
charged with the bayonot until they came
within fifteen PAGES of the enemy, when
they turned, ct prariate Ia fate The see
ond line, composed of Polish troops, ha
already done the same
Wounds from bayonets were no less rare
IN the Peninsular war. It may be that all
these who were bayoneted were killed, yet
their bodies were seldom found. A GER
tain fighting regiment had the misfortune,
one very misty morning, to have large
number Of men carried off by charge of
Polish lancers, many being also killed.
The Commanding officer concluded they
must all be killed, for his men possessed
exactly the same spirit as a part Of the
French Imperial Guard Waterloo, They
might be killed, but they could not by any
possibility be taken prisoners" He re-
turned them all dead, accordingly. A few
days aferwara rney reappeared, 10 The as
tonjshment of everybody, having been
swept off by the cavalry, and had made
their escape in the retreat of the French
army through tie woods. The regiment
from that day obtained the ludicrous name
of the ''Ressurreetion men,"
The siege Of Sebastopol has furnished
many opportunities for hand to hand con-
tests, in which many have been killed and
wounded on all sides, but l do not learn
that in any engagements which have taken
place, regiments advanced against
each other in lie and really crossed bayo-
nets as body, although the individual
bravery of smaller parties was frequently
manifested there, as we'll as in the war in
the Peninsula
