The brigades of Burnside are in heavy COL

foie they dash into these hostile masses. =
There is halt, the Rebel LEFT gives way
and scatters over the field, the rest stand
fast and fire.. More infantry comes up,
Burnside is outnumbered iianked, compell-
ed to yield the hill he took so bravely. His

pressed-=needs no mes. enger to tell him
that. His face grows darker with anxious
thought. Looking down into the valley
where $4,000 troops are lying he turns half

stands by his side, gravely scanning the
field. They are Porters troops below, are
fresh and only impatient to share in this
fight But Porter slowly shakes his head,

easy to see that the moment has come when

From Our Army I'm Mississippi.

From the Chicago Evening Journal.
We make the following extracts from a
private letter received in Chicago, dated
Iuka, Miss, Sept. 11th, written by a man
who, before the war, was Douglas Demo-
crat.
"We will probably not remain at this point
more than four or five days longer, when
we shall probably move to Corinth, and this
line of road running east from Corinth will
be for the present abandoned, for the pur-
pose of concentrating our forces either for
offensive or defensive operations. fe Sec.
"The numbers of negroes, Of both sexes
and all ages, that have sought protection in
our army is very great. We have set the
men at work, some of the women get work
as cooks and washers, and all receive food
and protection. Our General, though he
does not desire the women and children, has
too much humanity to turn them back to The
cruel reatme to which they would be sub,
jected, for having desired freedom and ma.
king an effort to obtain it. 2 9aso Hs.E
"The condition Of the country, as compar-
ed with any portion of the free North; the
character of the people here, whose worst
passions are educated and encouraged by
the possession of absolute and unrestrained
authority over their fellow men and the
selfevident fact that this war was initiated
for the sole purpose of extending and per.
petuating the demoralizing institution; has
made me an abolitionist. The most radical
and uncompromising men now to be met
with in the Union army are men who, at the
commencement Of the war, believed in the
doctrine Of conciliation. In this country there
is no one to conciliate. The Union men we
find are uncompromisingly for the Union.
Every man is for or against us-very few for
us-and while force and intimidation have
in semblance made thousands of Union con-
verts, Cancellation has made not one. Power
is respected; forbearance is not only not
comprehended, but is misconstrued to BE-
dictated by timidity. as
"Last night spy, whom we had in custo-
dy and who attempted to escape, was shot
in the attempt, and is since dead. He was q
great scoundrel, who came voluntarily to our
isst camp and took the cath Of allegiance,
and then was permitted to sen his cotton,
for which he received %, 900 b sod. He
then brought in his brother and ssveiSI
neighbors, who voluntarily took the oath
and sold ,heh cotton We had abu1dcnt
proof that they all violated their oath, and
that this man was q regularly employed spy
Of the rebels, and had he not been shot q
he was, he would certainly have been hung" !"
