Tue FIELD OF WATERLOO. field of

longs to the earth, impassive support of

walking there, il he looks, If he listens,
if he dreams like Virgil in the fatal
plain of Phillppi, he becomes possessed by
The hallucinati0n of the disaster. The
terrible 18Th Of June is again before him;
artificial hill of the monument fades away,
this lion, whatever it be is dispelled; the
field of battle resumes its reality; the lines
of infantry unduIate in the plain, furious
gallops traverse the horizon; the bewildered
dreamer sees the fash of shells, the awful
intermingling of the thunders, and he hears,
like death.ratte from the depths of
tomb, the vague clamor of the phantom
battle. These shadows are grenadiers; these
CLEANS are cuirasfiers; this skeleton is Ma
poeon; that skeleton il Wellington; all this
is unreal, and yet it clashes aud combats;
and the ravines run red, and the trees shiv.
er. aud there is fury even in the clouds,and
in the darkness. All those savage heights,

TERRIBLE HURRiCANE.-The Chicago pa
pers mention a hurricane which visited that
city on the 4th ult. II came so suddenly
that, ere outsiders were aware OF II, every
thing portible was flying off at tangent.
The first intimation we received OF the
blow was in the shape OF an apple woman.
who, accompanied by baskets and scattered
apples, came tunbling across the street IN
a series of gyrations most remarkable. la
40 instant the air was filed With bats, wells,
shawls, fragments of dresses, ETC., and the
rain came down 10 torrents, drenching ev-
trything instantaneOusly. Trees were
twisted off like pipe-stems. A long row OF
cottonwood trees were uproOted, while
houses, especially those in process of con-
struction, were leveled to the ground. The
hurricane was succeeded by the most mag
niGcent display of lightning that we ever
saw. The heavens were in constant
glare, while Jove's artillery cracked aud
reverberated in manner truly terrific and
subIime, Balls of fire were distinctly visi.

DELINQUENT OFFICERs.-In recent letter
to an officer who endeavored TO avoid duty
because be had sent IN his resignation,
which had not been accepted, Gen. Pope
uses the following correct language:
A large part Of the issatistac.iOn justly
felt by the private soldiers of the volunteer
regiments has arisen from this very prac-
tice. AS soon as commissioned officer
grows tired of the fatigue and hardship OF
service he tenders his resignation, and in
very many cases has found means to have
7 accepted. A private soldier has no such
means of freeing himself from an obligation
which he imposed on himself with the full
understanding, that the officer who persua'
led him to volunteer, was equally bound
with himself, and would remain with him.
The practice of abandoning the private sol
,liers who have volunteered at their instance
reflects little credit upon officers, and will
only be tolerated in this army when | can
40 longer control it.
