TIE HORRORS OF wAR.

A correspondent Of the Daily Times has
the following description OF the horrors OF

WAsarScroS. Monday, July 81. l86l.--To
read Of battle. with Us, poetry Of heroism,
is very fine thing. all men applaud the
bold fellow, and all women throw laurels on
the gallant soldier whu is ready to throw
down his life for his country's nag. II one
sees it, the thing is far different. J was at
the defeat Of our forces yesterday near Gen.
trev,lle, and as witnessed the hot shot and
terrible she'll tearing through the air; as
saw the horrible grape and shrapnel doing It's
too certain work all around; as saw my
friend storming heroically masked batteries,
which the terrible incompetence OF their
leaders did not allow them TO silence. owing
10 insufficient reinforcements being sent IN
proper time; when | saw these heroes at
sii month losing heads, legs and arms. in
thick prnIusion around me; when witnessed
The horribe rout brought about BY master.
| ly flank movement OF their picked cavalry
and sharpshoo,ers. aud when saw our ar
tllerymen unlimber their guns. cut loose
the traces of their horses and flee, leaving
the pieces behind; when | saw too, our
boasted cavalry flying in the same mad haste,
with regiment after regiment pushing alter
them like so many SHEEP, throwing Tor three
miles guns, bayonets, cartriJge-boxes and
provisions Of every kind away ragoans
riding over infantry in their flight. and The
ground absolutely covered for three miles
with bodies, then | realized as only those
! can who see IL. the actual horrors Ot war.
