THE GHosT DISCOVERED Last evening

boWie-knives and re7olVers, started out on

nights and he " thought he'd go home,' and
away he scampered also. The remainder
held consultation and concluded to investi-

Extract from Letter on the Battle Field. !
This battle (Antietam) has been the most
sanguinary of the war, and the only one
fought with visible design and open military
principles. The arrangement of our corps
the overlooking position of the commanding
Genoral-the sending into action the right
and left divisions-the closing up of the cen
ter, and final suecess-exeites bewildering
admiration, and carries the mind to the great
fields of Austerlitz and Wagram, fought by
Napoleon. Of all this have spoken. The
heart history of such conflict, purchased by
the life of twenty thousand men, must be
found in the hospitals. War has its glo-
ries-but it has ten thousand demons in
these human tortures, that make the eye
balls ache-the heart bleed-the lips palsy,
and the brain reel. The sight is at first pos
itively uncomfortable The life blood of some
is still triokIing away in silent calmness-
while the discovered limbs and maniac brain
of others give rise to sounds God grant I may
not again witness.
But ye mothers who here seek a son-or
wives q husband-or sisters a brother-or
sons a father-know and be consOlei that
even here the hand of mercy is watchful, and
better care is bestowed upon your loved ones
than might at first seem possible. It was In
the hospital, whersre the gallant Hooker,
that I learned the history Of those mythical
words 20 Often seen and SO little understood,
as. T.-l88O-X." Anything alleviating
the sufFsrings and saving the lives Of our
soldiers, is national blessing. I witnessed
some astonishing results from this article.
It is well known the effect of burnt gun
powder and excitement is thirst, which ad-
ded to the loss Of blood in the wounded, Gre
ates the necessity of reviving stimulant.-
In this particular hOspipsI, the physicians
were allowing their patients to drink Planta-
ton Bftters, otherwise called S. T.-ls6o-X,
and although the aaost numerous here-this
division having opened the fight at I've in the
morning-the men were 2OstlY composed
and there was very little fainting. The arti-
Gle acts upon the nerves in the moSt ineom-
prehensible manner, superior TO brandy, and
without subsequent rsRctiOn. 1t originated

A PUzzLING CAsE.-It makes some diff
ference, in persons feeling, we suspect, on
which side of the prison door he stands when
he looks through the iron lattice work. The
sensation produced by looking out, day after
day, may be novel and interesting, but most
people prefer to stand on the outside and look
in.
In our rounds yesterday we visited the
watch-house. We found lad about fifteen
years of age, with his face pressed against
the iron bars, looking out. IF he had " look
ed out /" for himself little better he never
would have got there.) We asked him what
he was there for. Stealing boots, was the
reply. He said the man he worked for told
him to grease up the boots, and while he
stayed, wear them. He did sO-wore them of
and was arrested and locked up.
As we walked away we mused curiously
over the case, in which there is more than
appears at first sight. He had permission
to wear the boots while he stayed with his
employer. Very we'll Suppose he hadn't
left his employers sight for year and had
kept the boots on constantly meantime,
wouldn't the boots have been ,7Orn a,gay : and
wouldn't the boy have been liable to arrest
he was arrested for taking the boots off. He
had probably taken the boots of fifty times
before and no notice taken of it; why ynotice
it in this particular case Then again
it could easily be shown that the
boy didn't carry away the boots;
the boots carried him away. Why not
arrest the boots ? His late employer claims
that when the boy abandoned his service the
boots we're to have been left. Well, they
teft, didn't theyH Another idea perhaps
the boots were rights and lefts." Admit
ting that, the boy took no more than his
Highland left. Don't you sect Then how
can the man claim the boots as bis-Own,
when there is abundant evidence to prove
that they had been sOIed.
