The FOrtIrude Of oar wounded.
From the New York POst.l

From the New ork Post
The superintendant Of company Of
Massachusetts army nurses, who has just
returned from Washington, gives a pleas
ant account of the bearing of our brave
soldiers under their suffering from sick
ness and wounds. At the hospitals near
est the battlefield, where the worst cases
were received, he saw nothing but cheer
full resignation and indomitable fortitude.
Our soldiers accept the incidents of wounds,
fevers and lack Of ordinary eonYeniences
as inevitable occurrences, and lose neither
their patience nor their faith. &
One poor fellow, who had received a shot
through his body, requested the surgeons
to attend first to the wants of a comrade
whose leg had been shattered by a cannon
ball. "See TO him first" said he; "he is
more badly of than l am" Yet this brave
man, who forgot his own sufFerings in
compassion for those Of others, was after
wards found to be dangerously hurt, and
| is now very i'll in Washington.
Another soldier, getting out of an ambu-
lance without assistance, walked into the
hospital with firm step, but expired with
in an hour The ball which hit him be-
numbed his nerves, and he had no idea that
his injury was mortal.
One touching incident was related to US.
| A young Michigan soldier was brought ia
from the Centreville field, terribly wound
ed by a musket ball. which had entered the
| right side of his neck and emerged under
the right ear, carrying away part Of his
tongue and lacerating the windPipe. I'm
able to speak or eat, this soldier lay help
less for day or wo,reeeiving no nOurish-
ment because he could swallow nothing,
and indicating his wishes by signs. Open
ing the hand signifed ayes" closing it,
"No." In the third night after his srri-
val at the hospital,a sudden attack Of hem
orange ended his life. To the last his
eyes were fixed upon the portraits Of his
wife and child, which he had caused to be
hung upon the wall by his bedside.
Another soldier, wounded in the leg,
amused himself by carving rings from
peach stones, producing creditable work
and distributing his specimens among the
nurses who attended him This man, 50
dexterous with knife, was yankee, who
had nothing else to do than to entertain
himself with the pastime of "whittling.
In the seVerest surgical operations our
men utter no groans, make no complaints
but bear up under the treatment with won
derful calmness. In cases of amputation,
chloriform is administered, but the opera
tiOns Of probing and dressing are neces-
sarily conducted without the aid of anaes-
thetics, and the pain is often terrible
The men joke over it and laugh off their
troubles. They are brave company who
have gone forth to fight our battles.

Voice from GeauEn.

GEAuGA County, sept 10, leoz-
EDITORS LEADER We Of Geauga coUn-
ty,who have always known the Hon. A.
Riddle and, as you may remember, sent
delegation unanimous in his favor to
the Contention at Painesville, two
years ago, are anxiously watching the
contest over his denomination now pro-
gressing in your District. 1t is true We
have no direct voice in the natter yet it
is one that deeply interests US, as it should
every man in the country who desire the
aseendaney of correct views and princi-
pies in the next Congress. The return of
Mr. Riddle seems to us an act of the most
obvious justice as we'll as one Of sound pol
icy. Having held the Office of Representa-
tive but single term, it would be very
unjust, and contrary to all precedent, to
discard him now unless for the very best
best Of reasons, which certainly do not
exist. Petty personal and partizan con-
siderations should not be allowed to have
any weight in making the decision, and
what other have been urged against the
Mr.. Riddles denomination? Certainly
none that am aware of. During q single
term, he has not only truly represented
his constituents, but has distinguished
himself as never but man Of remarkable
ability possibly could. His speeches
rank among the best, and have won for
him a wide and honorable reputation,
while his record is faultless as any.
The clamor that certain disappointed
politicians, who envy his fame and fear
his influence, have raised over the Ball
Run battle, is as foolish and ridiculous as
it is malicious. The truth is, Mr.. Riddle
has made himself popular with the sol
diers, by his untiring labars in their be-
half at Washington and elsewhere. This
TIearn from some Of the soldiers themselves,
1gho are most interested in the matter, and
hare the best reason to knOlg.
the course of the Herald in regard to
Mr.. Riddle, is shameful, and it is a won
der that it has not by this time, disgusted
even its own conductors. VIII its editor
never laarn that he made all the capital he
could out Of the Bull Run letter one year
ago, and that any further use of it can
have no influence with candid, thinking
men? Does he hope by his loose and Vul-
gar abuse, to prevail upon the people of the
Eighteenth District to discard a faithful
and able Representative, when they know
that he is ectuated only by unworthy mo-
tives? They have not all forgotten his
opposition to B. F. Wade, and there is a
pretty general belief among them that the
best men are apt to find the least favor
with him. Why, when Geogua was in the
Cleveland District, he and hiss clique sgers
Uoted doDn and l know not the people Of
that district if they meet with more favor
now.

CAMP MrrcHELL, KY, Sept. u, 1852.
DEAR LEADER:-When wrote you yes
terday morning, what was supposed to be
picket firing was going on before the right
wing of the Federal army. 1t was subse-
quently learned, however, that most of
the firing resulted from target practice
among some of the companies, an OCCASION
al shot being exhanged between rebel
stragglers and our pickets. A recOnnoi-
sance yesterday revealed the fact that the
rebel forces had been withdrawn during
the previous night, falling back with
greater haste than they advanced. The
cause of this retrograde movement is prob
ably better known to themselves than to
anyone else, but the opinion of your coz
respondent is that they accomplished all
they designed, that's, the seizure of a large
amount of property. have ever regard
ed the fears felt for the safety Of Cincin-
natl as greater than the facts would justify,
and am now convinced that an army
with which Napoleon could march over
half of Europe, has lain buried in the
trenches, while few thousand marauders
approached within almost rife range, and
secured the country for plunder.
Scouting parties yesterday brought in
some sixty or seventy prisoners, all of
whom are miserable looking specimens of
the butternut persuasion. They place the
rebel force at various numbers not exceed
ing twenty thousand men, and a scanty
supply of artillery. They are gone, and l
am Of opinion we shall see them no more
until we advance, of which have little
hope at present
Last evening I had the satisfaction of
meeting number of patriotic Cleveland
ers attached to Captain DeForests indie
pendent company. They seemed to be in
good spirits, and expressed regret at the
early retreat of the enemy. Their deyo-
ton is duly appreciated by the Ohioans
here, but they are not needed, for we have
more troops here than can be used TO ad-
vantage.
This morning our regiment is being
moved back to camp, and we shall expect
to have little quiet again in our imprO-
Yised barracks.
Truly yours, d.

REBEL ADvIcE.-A son of Leroy Larsh,
of Wayne county, Indiana, who was in the
battle Of Richmond, and taken prisoner,
states that on being parOled, Kirby Smith,
the rebel General, said to him and his COM
panions:
"NOw, boys, go home and vote down the
id Abolitionists."
Nothing would please the rebels more
than to have this advice followed.

The Gazette gives the following:
ave publish this morning special dis
patch from Rlizabethtown, Kentucky, Civ
ing particulars of the fight at Green Riv-
er Bridge, on Sunday. It vas desperate
engagement. The rebels had a superior
force, and charged the Notifications nine
times, in every one of which they were re-
pulsed with heavy loss. Over three hun
dred of the rebels were killed They asked
permission to bury their dead, which was
granted. It took them six hours to per-
form this task. Colonel Wilder was rein
forced by infantry and artillery Monday
night. Our correspondent says a renewal
of the task was expected; and in this it
appears he was correct; for our dispatches
from Louisville report Brsggs forces at
tackled yesterday. This appears to have
been again stubbornly resisted by Colonel
Wilder, and while the fight was progress
ing Buslls forces came up and engaged
the enemy. If this information is correct,
great battle must have been fought
there, the result Of which may decide the
issue in Kentucky.
