SENSATIONS DURING BATrLE.-One

SENSATIONS DURING BATrLE.-One
who was recently in ba tie, and who de-
sires to satisfy the curiosity of those who
desire to know how men unaccusto med to
stand fire, felt when under it, says:
do not suppose have much physical
or moral courage, but the sensations I'M
der fire, judging from my experience, are
different from what is expected.
A reasoning man at first feels alarmed,
and his impulse is to run away-and if he
has not reason to stand, he probably does
run but at each exposure he grows less
timid, and after hearing canister and
grape about his ears dozen times, begins
to think he is not destined to be hurt
He still feels uneasy, perhaps-but the
danger becomes facinating ;sand though
he don't wish to be hit, he likes to have
narrow escapes, and SO voluntarily places
himself in position where he can incur
more risk.
After little while he begins to reason
upon the matter-refects upon the doc
trine of probabilities, and how much pow
der and lead is wasted before any man is
killed or wounded.
Why should he be, he thinks, 80 much
more unlucky than many other people
and he soon can hear the whizzing of bull
lets with tolerable degree of equinimi-
ty, though he involuntarity lodges or tries
to dodge the cannon balls or shells that
90 bowling around his immediate neigh
borhood.
In the afternoon he is quite different
creature from what he was in the NOR
ming, and involuntarily smiles to see a
man betray the Same trepidation which
he himself exhibited few hours before.
The more he is exposed to fire the
better he can bear it-and the timid be-
ing of to-day is the hero of tomorrow
and he who runs from danger on the frs
battle field will run into it on the next
and court the hazard he once so mucl
|! dreaded. .......
Thus courage, as it is styled, is LITTLE
more with most men than custom ant
they learn to despise what has Otter
Threatened without causing them HARM
IF wounded, they learn that wounds arr
less painful to bear than they had suppo
sed. and then the doctrine of probabilltie
teaches them once more they are les
liable to be wounded again. So the men
tai process GOES on until the nerves be
come by degrees the Subjects of will-an'
he only fears who has not the will to b
brave.

RETURN OF THE ExILEs.-A number
of wagons have been observed in our city
recently, containing movers coming
from Illinois into Misrouri. They are
the advanced guard of the returning
Union exiles from the Southwest on their
way to their homes from which they were
driven last fall. They found Temporal
ry' shelter in the hespitable State of Hill
nois, where they remained during the
winter. But Illinois was not their abiding
place. Their hearts yearned for the
homes in the Southwest, and they longed
to return to the little farms upon which
they had bestowed so much toll and labor
The expulsion of the rebel army from
that region and the erection of the flag O
their country there, gives the assuranc,
of protection, and they are Low returnin,
thither with the preserved wrecks Of thei
household goods, to dwell in peace unde
the protection of the armies OF the Union

A lady correspondent OF the Springfield
Republican says OF Mrs. Lincoln's party


Mrs. Mcclellan was the most living and
the most lovely women in this gorgeous
assembly. She is u young lady with Il
slight swaying, wilowy figure, She is
on of those intensely alive creatures,
whose exquisitely strung nerves seem to
hold TREMENDOUSLY enough electric fluid to
make half a dozen commonplace women.
She has dark hair and eyes, and one Of
those ever changing, ever radiating faces,
which is at once mystery and facina-
ton. She is perfectly natural, perfectly
charming, as one saba woman to be
loved to the last degree Her costume
was simple and unique. A robe of tulle
tioated round her like cloud. The
snowy puffs of the skirt were edged with
narrow cherry velvet--the whole headed
with a broad band of cherry velvet, edged
with box plated narrow velvet ribbon, -
A bandeau OF lace with bow of cherry
velvet in front encirclcd her dark hair
floating behind in long misty ends. Her
costume was delicate, striking and ex
ceedingly becoming. One had only t

supplement of womanhood by his side, tC
