CORRESPONDENCE.
Published by request.]

FRIEND c.: / received your wei
come letter of Nov. lst, and am very
happy to shear from America once
more" Times here are very dull, ex-
ceedingly so-and only for enjoying a
buffalo hunt, now and then, and our
dancing school, l believe we would die Of
enRui.
Well, presume you have often read in
romances very glowing and graphic des-
criptions of "a Prairie on Fire." but /
can assure you that the reality is quite
equal to the widest description Of the
novelist. During my six years sojourn on
the Plains and Rocky Mountains have
not seen good prairie fire, until about
two weeks since, and really the impress
ion il left gu my mind shall long be re-
mcmbcred. Whew! you ought to have
seen hundreds Of bufaloes charging ahead
from the fire, with eyes protruding from
their sockets, and their respective ante
rior appendages elevated on high, and
anon some of the " bachelors" of the herd
would give a short, deep below, which
would give q fresh impulse TO the flying
mass. The fire was very extensive, run
ming from about thirty-fve miles above
us, to the Kansas border. The patches
of unburned grass is literally teeming
with game of all kinds, buffaloes, ante
lopes, turkeys, pheasants, sage-hens, DC
There is a species of rabbit here of extra
ordinary size and swiftness, which is call
ed by the mouniaineers "Jackass Rab.
Bit" They are at least double the size
of the wood rabbit of Michigan. The
Platte is covered with immense focks ot
wild geese and ducks. The Platte is q
very singular river. In some places the
river is between three and four miles wide
but full of islands and numerous channels
with quicksand bottom. These islands
are very numerous, and some Of them
are very large. The U. S. Government
has one for reservation OF fifteen miles
in length, where all the government cat
tic are wintered. 1t is from half milk
to three and half in width. There il
not a tree on either bank Of this stream
but there is cottonwood trees on all the
islands.
Fort Kearney is built on dead level
one mile from the Platte, and consists il
all of n Suffers store and house, an hos
pital and thirty-seven large government
buildings, including the soldiers and. ..offi
GERS quarters, commissary quartermaster'
store, DC. There is one-horse town o
village called Kearney City, one and three

Only One Killed.

Only one killed. Only one more no.
bic patriot gono to restl only one more
to the list Of those who have left their
homes, their friends, and all that was dear
to them, and gone bravely forth to battle
for the old "Star Spangled Banner" OH
the plains of old Virginia, or beneath the
blue skies Of Kentucky, or where the
Mississippi rolls along toward the grand
old ocean, tinged with the crimson blood
OF Treason's victims-the blood of those
who have fallen on the altar of their
Country.
Only one killed! The fond wife reads
the words, and then, with terrible, sick
ening fear at her aching heart, she search
es for the name. MOI It's not the name
Of the one 50 dear to her; and with
sigh of relief, she turns her eyes to God,
and thanks him for his mercy.
Only one killed! The poor mother
runs eagerly over the particulars of the
hot contested battle. Was it her son,
her darling that she gave TO his country,
that fell on the dread battle feld9 An
awful fear is at her heart, and when sho
finds the name she hardly dares to read
lest she should see the name of her boy.
The daughter looks over her and cries,
"'Tis not him, mother! God be thank
ed !"
Only one killed! The white-lipped
maiden reads of the battle won, with tho
sacrifice of "only one" life. Eagerly she
glances over the columns, and when at
last she finds the name of tho one who
fell on the red field of battle, her heart
tbrobs wildly with the awful pain that
fear gives; at length she summons cour-
age TO look at the name of the one noble
martyr-she gazed down upon the paper
and then with cry of agony she sinks
down in the open door, and bures her
pallid face in her hands and means in an
guish. He whom she had loved so well,
whom she had promised to love forever,
he who had often twined the crimson
roses in her sunny hair, he who had often
pressed his lips upon her snowy brow. is
dead deadi
only one killed9 Only one husband,
or son, or brother, or lover, gone forever
from those who loved them.

A CANADIAN OPINION OF MoCLELL-
ANS REMovAL.-The first shock of as
constituent over, one is inclined TO laugh
heartily at these neyerending changes
Such folly as the Washington Cabinet
have been guilty of in connection with
army affairs has never yet had n parallel.
Three months ago they knew McClellan's
capacities as well as they know them TO-
day. Public opinion pointed him out as
the only man fiji 10 command the Fede-
raj hosts in the East; and it was unhes-
ita;ingly asserted that unless he was
placed at the head of the army certain
defeat would follow every movement of
the Northern troops. There is nothing
to show that public opinion has changed
in this respect, and it is quite certain that
of all the commanding officers, McClell-
an is by far the greatest favorite with the
rank and file.
For ourselves we hold tho opinion now
which we expressed when Mcclellan was
placed at the head of the army. We re-
gard him as the most successful General
of the North. He may be slow, but the
recent campaign in Maryland shows that
he can be active when he sees his way
clear before him. We are inclined to at
tribute the tardiness of McClellan's move
ments to the fact that he possessed some
thing like an adequate knowledge of the
Southern army to which he was opposed,
rather than TO listlessness and cowardice

THE GREAT EASTERN TO BE OUTDoNE.
The Messrs. Winans, of Baltimore, pro-
jectors OF the cigar shaped steamer, are
building in England boat of the same
species seven hundred feet long. The
first boat, which was an experiment, lies
at the dock in Baltimore. They propose
10 throw the Great Eastern, with her
scores of stockholders, into the shade by
a single effort of individual enterprise
The boat will be propelled by two screws,
one forward and the other aft. The
Messrs. Winans are secessionists and very
wealthy mechanics. One of them was
arrested at the beginning of the war, in
connection with steam gun project he
had on hand, and writer in the Scien-
tifc american says they are spending
their money in the English workshops
on account of the hostility they have met
with here. 1t was rumored at one time
that their experimental steamer was to
be used as n ram for the rebel service
Perhaps the mammoth vessel is intended
for that use.

scoundrels as ever disgraced frontier vii
lage, and there is scarcely a week bu,
there is a shooting or stabbing affair, as al
trains going to California, Oregon, Den.
YER and Salt Lake have to pass through
on their way; but as the whole mail route
is under martial law we have TO settle
disputes and send all our criminal prison
ers to Omaha City, the Capital of the
Territory. You would be astonished
were you to take trip across the Plains,
and travel day after day, for months, with
out seeing even tree to relieve the same
ness Of the scene, except the few cotton
woods on the islands of the Platte. In
deed, TO person brought up in fine,
wooded country, like Grand River Val
ley, the contrast is novel in the extreme.
Then to see herd Of from five hundred
10 two thousand buffaloes (this is no exag-
geration,) looking for water, and large
herds of beautiful antelopes, as feet al
most as lightning.
We'll, don't think that l am going to
throw myself away to any young lady of
this locality, for, although many of them
are very good and discreet women, yet a
life on the frontier robs them of many of
the finer traits,s 1t is no uncommon thing
to see one of them (the fair sex, carry a
nice little six-shooter-aye, and use it too,
into the bargain, if they think it essential.
Marriage is mere farce, and more of an
affair of convenience than of religious
ceremony, and divorces arc the order of
the day.
We get telegraphic dispatches twice q
day, direct from the seat of war, as the
line is in the hands of Government thro'
from ST. Joseph, Mo-, to Sacramento, Cal
ifornia.
am glad Mr.. Church is nominated
for Congress. l believe the choice
good one in every respect.
Gen. Craig has just arrived hero to
take command. 1t is surinised that we
may yet be ordered to Washington or
Governors Island, the coming winter. |
hope so, for l am heartily tired of the
Plains and Mountains. l would like TO
get once more where people are civilized.
l have not seen the interior Of church
during the last six years, except when l
was in Great Salt Lake City, in Utah
Territory, when I went to hear Brigham
Young preach. There is not Catholic
Priest or Church on tho whole route.
The army is still on the move, they say.
We'll, they have been moving for the last
eighteen months, and doing little better,
with few exceptions, than to spend public
treasure. There is screw loose some-
where in the Government machinery, and
l hope some energetic engineer may dis
cover it shortly and leave the affair sound
again.
There is no use to say anything on po-
litical topics, as you know everything
better than 1 could explain. shall con-
clude by subscribing myself your sincere
friend, MICHAEL o. HEALEY,

a HARVEST SONG.
The toll of day is ended,

The toll Of day is ended,
The night is at his noon;
And the harvest song swells blithely up
Beneath the haI vest moon;
Then tread quicker measure,
And chant louder strain;
With dance and song, the days prolong
That brings the golden grain.
From out tho distant mountain
Comes the voice of the cascade,
And tho nearer CLEAN of its silver stream
Makes glad the silent glade;
Through all the shadowy forest
Is heard the fall of leaves
And the timid hare treads stealthily
Among the nodding sheaves.
And now, on every hillside,
The purple vintage glows,
AS when a deeper radiance falls
From daylight at its close;
No time is it for sadness,
Dependency or fear,
When Autumn comes In gladness,
To crown the fruitful year.
Dear is the pleasant leaf-time,
When all is soft around
When frost-imprisoned rivulets
Are melting into sound;
And dear, too, is the season
When Spring and Summer meet;
When the woods are faint with odors,
And the hills are dim with heat.
But Spring is but for pasture,
And Summer but for show;
While Autumn, like a crowned king,
Has riches to bestow;
So he shall be the monarch
Of all the shining year,
And crown he shall wear and a scepter
bear
OF fruits, and the golden ear.
