under my observation.
The canister which had swept it over
during the morning. had been terrible in
its results. Strongly contested as it
had been by both aides, yet tho dead
we're as five to one on the side Of the
rebels. One man here was in bent
position, resting on his hands and feet,
with his face downward, yet cold and
rigid as marble. One had crawled
away to the border Of the woods, and,
cnsconcing himself between two logs,
had spread his blanket above him to
shield him, perhaps, from the rain Of
the previous night. He was wounded

could do anything for him ?" At bis

being in such . condition, bis only reply
was, II do not know did not do i"
We assured him that IN ambulance
would soon be At hand to take him to
better quarters, and left him.
The larger guns had done some
strange work. One case I saw where
the entire lower portion Of . maD's foot
had been carried away, leaving two toes
and the upper portion Remaining. An
other had been struck by bullet on the
forehead, and the missile bad followed
the curve Of the head entirely around to
the termination IT the hair on the back
part Of the Uranium. The case Of the
celebrated Kansas scout, Carson (oot
Kit,) was horrifyiog. HIS face and the
entire lower portion Of his head were en-
tireiy gone, his brain sdabhliag into the

tieularize. Suffice It TO coy that the
alaughter wos immense.
One sipgslas, feature vas remarkable
after the battle, which - II may have
some connection with this department,
I may mention here. Numbers Of our
men were found, with the hair on the
top Of their heads, their wbiskers, and
sometimes portion Of their upper CLOTH
ing burned away. They presented :
STANCE and gbastly appearance. Whsth.
er these were mere wanton acts on the
part Of the enemy, or whether the VIC
TINS were those who had been inmates
Of some Of the burned hospitel tents,
cannot say. II the latter, they had
made an attempt to escape, and had 90
far succeeded that they had reached the
woods, and there, from sheer exhaustion,
had laid down to die.
THE FORCE ENGAGED, AID TIE KILLED
AND WOUNDED.
A. near IS can estimate, Of the
entire force engaged in the conflict, l
have set it down 1t the opening OF the
battle Is being about sixty thousand on
the rebel side, with somewhat smaller
number, say over fifty thousand, on ours.
This morning witnessed an addition to
our troops of about twelve thousand
men, while, from testimony Of the rebel
prisoners taken to dsy, the reinforce
ments to the enemy were about eight
thousand men-more than halt Of whom
had been left at Corinth when the troops
moved from that point on Saturday
evening.
The intimate knowledge possessed by
the enemy Of every foot Of the contested
coil on which the battle was fought gave
them . greater advantage than was
awarded Us BY the trifiog increase in
plumber; bat, on either side, the battle
was fought with desperation which l
could not have believed to exist in the
minds Of men, unless in cases of strong
personal grievance. The determination
appeared, even under the mort CALLING
fire, to be victory or death. The Mis-.
sissippians, on the side Of tthe enemy,
were the ruling spirits, and they we'll
deserve to be set down as among the
best fighting men Of the day.
Al for our own troops, l shall not re-
fer to but few especially. The Illinois,
already famous at Donelson, fought
like devils to sustain their we'll earned
reputation. The same may be said Of
Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin,
and some OF the Iowa regiments.
CARRYING OFF OUR SURGEONS.
found, even at the end Of the first
days fighting, that many OF our Sur
geons we're Kissing. They were known
to have been st the hospital tents At the
period in which tho battle opened, bu,
after this time they were not to be
found. After the retreat Of the enemy
had begun, and those Of the sick who had
teen left in the hospitals were again
under the protection Of our troops, they
stated that the rebels had forced the
Surgeons away with them 10 order that
they might attend to their own wound.

the troops near the landing they were
regarded as veterans in the cause, and
he greatest confide nee began to grow
up as to the successful termination Of
the battle, whose result had BEEN doubt

of yesterday.
With the first hours of day light it

a point to which they seemed strongly
attached. 1t mattered not where the
main force was engaged, nor where the
fight ragged the 6ercest, there was at all
times evidence that the safe security of
that thoroughfare was continually cared
for.
ALL THE LINE ENGAGED.
Within half an hour from the first
firing Of the morning, the contest had
again spead in either direction, and
both the main centre and left wing were
actively engaged. The rebels we're,
however, not so anxious to fight their
way to the r,ver's bank, as on the pre-
vious day, having had a slight experience
OF what they might again expect il

of the Taylor and Lexington, whose
black hulls steamed slowly along the
stream, keeping q careful watcbfolness
for any signs they might be able to gath

awov to their right.

GoRDoNsvILLE OcCUPIED.-Gen. Pope is
conforming TO the spirit of his address to his
soldiers and pushing on in good western STYLE
He has seized that most important point, Cor
louisville, the junction of the Orange and AL
exandria and Virginia Central Railroads.
The rebels have considered that place as
one of their "last ditches." But it has fallen
without blow in its defence. A glance at the
map will show the great Importance of the
point. There is no other railroad connection
between Richmond and the valley of Virginia,
except by the circuitous route of Lynchburg
Jackson's trips will be interrupted. Pope
may be said to be threatening Richmond from
the north. 1t will be observed, too that he is
going 30 have his army get some of its supplies
on its way, not be encountered with baggage,
and move on time. Evidently he is in earnest
and disposed to act on the new war policy

mThe Washington correspondent of ii

20 The Washington correspondent of the
New York Post makes the following surpris-
ing statement. We cannot resist the belief
that it is greatly exaggerated:
"It is stated here, on unquestionable author
ity, that 10000 soldiers once belonging to the
Army of the Potomac are now lettering over
the free States, as well as they ever were. The
President found, on his late visit to General
Mcclellan, that 10000 of the troops taken TO
the Peninsula are now missing or absent. Its
impossible to believe that more than 10000 are
dead, wounded or sick. General Mcclellan
expressed the opinion to the President that
more than half of the 10000 absent soldiers
are now well. How they got away il is almost
impossible to tell. A fact, however, has lust
come to my knowledge, which will seem to
elucidate the matter A single member of
Congress has succeeded in getting fiirloughs
and discharges for three hundred soldiers dur
ing the present session of Congress! This is
a fact, and it will show hop the army has been
depleted, or at least one way in which its num-
bers have been reduced. The friends of sol
diers-of regiments-have endeavored to get
off every soldier who was sick of the service.
Members of Congress desired to be popular in
their districts and answered every call made
upon them. Colonies of regiments and gener-
ais of brigades had the same desire-of popu-
larity with their men, and one and all have
aided in this depicting process, till the sum to-
tai OF absentees is enormous"
