FROM Il camp near Mlnas as, relates the following
very affecting incident:
l. t. gether with several other gentlemen from

duIin; this WnhOEy and qtntutturdL war; if it should
last for twenty years. W. struggling over the
battle field, examining the ground upon which we
had such bloody conflict md won such glorious
victory, two days before. Ne came unexpectedly
into the Centreville road and seeing a house upon
left with the usual signs betohening a hospital,
one of our party being p ysician, expressed wish
to get down and examine he wounded Upon in
curry we learned that st; bic just below the house
contained thirteen wounded Yankees: we forthwith
proceeded to the stable, and upon entering found a
Washington Ar!llleryman seated by the side OF
wounded soldier evidently ministerlng to ulm with
great clre and tenderness. ] introduced myself to
him and asked If he aided in working the battery
which fought with the first Virginia Brigade. lie
told Inc he did not-he had fought in battery
lower down, and then remarked THAT it was very
hard to fight he had fDught and turn and find Ass
brother fighting against him." at the same TIME
pointing to the wounded soldier from whose side
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 u.s. We meet the first time for seven years.
/ belong to the Washington Artillery, from New
OrleanS-he to the 1st 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 fricnds-both wounded-the infantry man
by musket ball i'll the right shoulder the artillery
man by the wheel Of a caiSson over his left hand
Thus they met after all absence of seven years
Their names are Frederick Hubbard Washington

The Victory at Manassas
I, BY LUuLA.
Not surer was the sw.rrd of Gideon
Welded by Almighty power,

In their great victorious hour: %.

While The IL ighiy host e. Nathan
Lay around like Ocean sinds.
Proudly Ger the hill of Moreh
Swelled the trumpet's pealing blast;
But the morn that spanked DER them
Was to Mid ans hosts their last;
Torn at evening lay their banners
And the dying and the dead,
Marked the way, where, panic stricken,
They from lsraefs God had fled.
Brightly dawned the summer morning
BRIGHTLY beauielI the Sabbath blesL
As the pump of Lncolns army,
Onward To Manassas pressed.
Proudly waved their Spangled banners
Breahed ;heS vengeance On the fpe;--
death tn traitors was their watCh-wOrd,
Crush the retels evermore.'
And their Senate wise in counsel,
With the mobiles of their land,
Waited eta distance prudent,
Fer their great vctnri"iIs band.

Waited the Ieturning cOnqueror

When his brow wrea!hrd il laurel5

And do0at traitors doom!

Batteries strung and dInn;leSs leaders

On they rushed with iron bracelets,
For The captives, SON to he,

Forged by Northern hands for THEE!

Like the chaff befre tie whlrlwind,

The REAL TEAIToRs.-The real traitors who arc
responsible for the disruption of the American
Union and the present civil war are VIM II. Seward
Abe Lincoln, Hannibal Hamlin, Charles Sumner
Henry Wilson. John P. Hale, &c. They have &C.
complshcd the disastrous result by preaching abo-
tionsm denouncing Union with shareholders and Of
fering in Congress petitions for the dissolution of
the Union. If there any persons in this country
who deserve the doom of traitors, they are these
authors of our national calamites. And If this war
continues three years, they will be obliged to fec
their country or receive a traitors fate They have
msled and deceived the people to the ruin of the
country. And when the reaction takes place, as it
surely will, popular vengeance will seek them for
punishment When disaster and suffering pervade
the North, as they certainly will; when the people
cry out under tie burden of taxes and debt which
this war will force upon them then will come the
day of reckoning for the real traitors-the political
demagogues- are the authors of the nations
calamites Hence their superhuman efforts to crush
the South before the reaction takes place But they
cannot evade their accountability to God and the
people. If the war continues three years the men
we have named above will be fugitives in foreign
countries-Dem. Standard, Concord ~ IT,
