How a Man Feels when He is

We take the following from a letter
written by one of the gallant Iowa volun-
teers, who fought in the battle near Spring
field, Missouri:

wound was not dangerous one.
In the battle, every sensation was
drowned in excitement We had no time
to think OF being killed, except when
standing TO be shot at 10y cannon, without
a chance to shoot back. This, to us, was
the most trying part of the battle. When
we had chance 10 use our muskets, every
though and feeling was gone, except the
one thought of shooting down the rebels as
rapidly as possible. Our regiment certain.
y did Its share of the work that day.
