AMONG THE HosPIrALs.-If you wish to know
what you enjoy, take yourself to the soldiers
hospital, and talk with that boy of lost limb or
bloodless cheek. or 60 in and see upon that lit
tie bed in the corner, one who few months
since, was as happy ard healthy and of as high
hope as yourself, but who is just now pushing
out upon the stream over whose waters but one
voyage is made; or 90 further, and look upon
the relics in the knap.ack-room, Of men who will
walk no more upon the battlefield in proud ar
ray, nor be iDspirited ever more BY the shri
whistle Of the fife, nor walk in the early dawn
BY the beat of the drum. Or the sound of mus
kerry, or the thunder OF srtillery-whose form:
rest low aud STILL uncsncious of the breezes o.
spring, the laughable sunshine of the summer
or the vail Of the autumn and winter blsst. &c
to such q place, and come away better mar
than when you went in.-Rev. J. T. Mitchell

The first accounts of that great and
hard fought battle, assigned him the post
Of danger in the thickest and bloodiest Of
the fight, and accorded him the praise OF
the most brilliant and successful move

only confirm these in all their fullness,
but explain with what consummate skill
he retired his troops till lie had drawn the
enemy to follow within point-blank FIRE.

moved them down like grass, till their
scattered ranks, dismayed and appalled,,

mates for the men, as they can be seen to
disappear when our shells fall into their
batteries.
AS soon as the upper fort or battery
is reduced the gun-boats will advance on
the others in detail, and thus reduce them,
one by one, with little damage or loss to
themselves.
On Tuesday night the Mound City kept
up steady FIRE on the upper battery, pre-
venting the rebels from making their u.s.
ual nightly repairs, and the result was
that early in the morning they commenced
removing the dead and wounded from the
casematss of the fort. Large numbers
were carried out and taken back into the
works on stretchers.
On Monday over nine hundred shots
were fred from tho gun-boats, mostly
shell, besides three hundred shells from
the mortars. The effect on the spectator
was grand and sublime, but 10 the rebels
most terrific.
On Tuesday the Commodore directed
that the fuses be vet down, with view
to destroy the works and dismount the
guns, and the result was most satisfactory.
The last guns Of the rebels are on two bat
teries below the bend, distance Of over
two miles from the gun-boats, and which
threw their shot beyond them. The old

ST. LOUIS, Oct 17.-Advices received at
Headquarters state that Gen. Schofeld, with
the advance guard of his army, has left Cass-
vile, moving southwards towards the Arkan-
sas line. Souts sent forward had penetrated
as far as Cross Hollows, but had been driven
back by the enemy.
From east Arkansas, intelligence is received
that the rebel force-about 1000 strong-has
been concentrated, under Mcbride, at Poca-
hontas Gen. Carr, in command at Helena,
reports Holmes and Hindman, with consid-
cradle force, on the west side of the river,
threatening to attack him, their object being
to do so before he could be reinfosced. Gen.
Carr, however, has sufficient force to make
his position safe. Reports from Paris, Mon
roe county, give news of many bushwhackers
surrenderng, and asking for mercy. They
are Immediately placed in confinement.

BosroN, Oct. ia Bermuda letter pub
lished in the Halifax papers of the 18th, com
plains of Il visit of admiral Wilkes to that
port, with three United States war vessels.
The admiral arrived on the 25th of September,
direct from New York, in four days, and re-
NAMED in port at least five days in defiance of
the queens proclamation allowing only TWEEN
ty-four hours stay. In conclusion, the letter
says tit would seem that Wilkes had a
double object in coming to Bermuda-frst, to
insult the authorities, for he must haveknown
in what a defenceless state we were in; and
second, to capture or destroy the vessels in
port-six steamers-that are engaged, either
directly or indirectly, in the trade with the
confederate ports, and to destroy all the pow
der, of which there is said to be a large guam
tity, stored on one of the small islands in Cas-
tie harbor" The admiral and one of his
steamers had gone out of sight from the land
but the other one, having coaled and repaired,
is cruising outside of st. George. Complaints
are also made, that British vessels are coca
sionally brought too by federal guns, while
entering the harbor of st. George.

The New Warfare on the Government.
1t is time, in view of what is happening in
the great states north of us in the way of or
ganizing fierce opposition to the government,
to credit Maryland with an additional claim to
unfinching and wholesale loyalty, since from
the time the war was inaugurated no such OPP
position, proportionably, could have been pa
raded within the bounds of our state as is
now being displayed elsewhere. The old Blu
chanan-B reckinridge democracy are again IN
the field with colors flying; and with sins
enough upon their heads to sink them to po-
ltical perdition as the abettors Of treason and
the plan for sundering the republic they yet
have the assurance to proclaim themselves the
only men worthy of being entrusted with the
destinies of the republic and the Union, and
are moving heaven and earth to get into pow
er once more on the strength of these pre-
tensions. For one, we have had enough of
Vallandigham, as we long ago had enough of
his compeer-the traitor Breckenridge. And
it is sufficient for the loyal men of Maryland
to find any set of men III close utilization with
these, to make them repudiate them in favor
of the party in power-the Union pay'ty-no
matter how little their sympathies were with
our present rulers in the outset of the difficult
ties upon the nation.
There are but two parties now, the Union
payty-composed of men who stand by the
president, and who include in their rank those
like Everett, Dickinson, and others, of all par
ties, who differed with each other in the past
and the comforterS Of treason, who seize the
opportunity now, when the government is
surrounded by difficulties, to further embar-
rass it, in hopes of gaining their ancient as
cendancy, despite the threatened ruin of the
country. We did not sympathize with those
in Office in their advent thereto, and in many
of their peculiar tenets we never expect to
do so; but as men entrusted with the gov
eminent and with the nations destinies now,
we shall stand by them, to the end of the war
at least, against those now assailng them UNI
der the most false pretexts.
And if there is any loyal man in the wide
land who is at all doubtful of what he should
90 when his ears are assailed by the clamor
OF demagogues, he has but to determine his
