sible for some things which are not mere nlisde-

being crimes against humanity as anything we
know of since the days Of the fcudal system in
England The following brief account, (aken
from letter received from friend few days
aso, informing us of the death of Sergeant S.
S. Deffibaugh, of Centroyille, this county, fur.
nishes case in point:
"Defibaugh was one of our finest young men
He was under Col. Geary until the regiment to
which he belonged was so reduced that, contra
ry to his wishes, he was transferred to new
regiment, the 147th Pa. Vols. When he had
got very low with his disease, his mother visit
ed him and waited upon him. She tried her
best to obtain furlough for him, or discharge,
but all in vain. AS long as there was breath
in his body. they would not let her bring him
away"
And thus thousands of brave men are DOOM
ed to languish and die, far away from those
they love- their services being lost to their coun-
try at the same time that their lives, 80 precious
to the dear ones at home, are sacrificed, nay,
,casted, by the miserable misconduct, or neglect,
of the War Department.

Result Of the Battle at fredericksburg.
The proportions of the battle of Saturday
continue to increase, and the supposed advan-
tages obtained continue to diminish. We fought
with magnificent courage on the right, against
heavy numbers and a position which gave the
enemy an advantage of five to one The val
OF and coolness of our men during the charges
upon the crest Of the enemy were magnificent
snat crest was the key to the left Of the rebel
position; once taken and the victory would have
been won. The stone wall afforded an admi-
rable barrier for their defence. Gen. Hum
phrey's division made the last attempt to carry
it, and lost one thousand men. Gen. Hooker
displayed great personal daring in reforming the
broken lines. Gen. COUGHS division lost three
thousand men. Kimballs brigade and Meagh-
er's brigade did nobly Col. Cross, of the 9th

after the battle, Company b reporting four pri-
Yates. Gen. Sturgis's division never fatered
but stood nobly at its post. Griffins division
again attested their devotion in that, their sew
enth battle, by a loss of one thousand men.
The mortal wounding of Gen. Bayard occur
red at about 2 p. NJ, at Gen. Franklin's head
quarters, in the rear of the line of battle of
Gen Smiths corps, and within few feet stood
both Gen. Franklin and Gen. Smith, and
dozen other officers. Gen. Bayard was sitting
at the foot ofsa large tree, when the enemy sud-
denly opened brisk artillery fire upon one of
our batteries, and their shells fell in that vicin-
ity very rapidly, tearing up the ground, cutting
the trees, and killing horses. In moment
shell struck at the very point where Gen. Bay
ard was sitting, nearly severing his leg at the
thigh. He was at once removed to the Bern
ard House hospital, his wound examined, and
pronounced mortal He lived perfectly conscious
until about 8 P. NJ, when he died. He dicta-
ted three letters during the afternoon, one to
COL Colburn, of Gen. McCleilan's staff, and
one to his atiianced bride, to whom he was to
be married on the 18th Of this month. He re-
ceived number of friends during the afternoon
and evening, and his mind was as cool and as
placid as in the moments of brilliant health
General Bayard was twenty-eight years of
age.
