'shc Scene of the Late Battle.

The battle Of Middletown Heights, -" or
"South Mountain Pass, was fought in one
of the most beautiful spots in Maryland.
The valley which stretches out between the
hills Of the Blue Ridge range forms an
opening into the Cumberland region to-
wards Chambersburg, and is described as
being highly romantic and picturesque.
From the lower chain of hills opposite to
that which the enemy held, and over the
intervening valley, the battle was witnessed
by civilians with the utmost safety 1t is
said to have been magnificent sight. For
one and two miles along the mountain rid
ges the flash Of the enemy's columns was
visible, and when the smoke lifted the ma
n9uvering of the men could be easily seen
on both sides. The bayonet charges of the
Ohio regiments were very terrific and
grand. The fearful loss in some of them
shows their determined efforts to take the
enemys batteries VAST. Cor N. 7.

both generals. "They are the only reserve
of the army; they cannot be spared"
Mcclellan remounts his horse. and with
Porter and dozen officers of his staff rides
away to the left in Burnside's direction.
Sykes met them on the road-good soldier,
whose opinion is worth taking. The three
generals talk briefly together 1t is easy
to see that the moment has come when
everything may turn on one order given or
withheld, when the history of the battle is
only to be written in thoughts and pur-
poses and words of the general.
Burnside's messenger rode up. His
message is, 81 want troops and guns. Ii
you do not send them, | cannot hold my
position for half an hour" Mcclellan 5
only answer for the moment is glance at
the western sky Then he turns and speaks
very slowly: "Tell Gen. Burnside that

will send him Millers battery. can do
nothing more. have no infantry" Then
as the messenger was riding away, he
called him back "Tell him if he coanot
hold his ground, then the bridge, to the
60 iiie'il always TIE DTluSc. II tic
bridge is lost, all is lost T."
The sun is already down; not haitian
hour of daylight is left. Till Burnside 5
message came it had seemed plain to every
one that the battle could not be finished
to-day. None suspected how near was the
peril of defeat, of sudden attack on ex-
hausted tOrces-how vital to the safety of
the army and the nation were those 49,
900 waiting troops of Fitz John Porter in
the hollow. But the rebels halted instead
OF pushing on, their vindictive cannonade
died away as the light faded. Before it
was quite dark the battle was over Only
solitary gun of Burnside's numbered
against the enemy. and presently this also
ceased, and the field was still.
The peril came very near, but it has
passed, in spite OF the peril, at the close of
the day was partly q success-not a Veto
ry. but an advantage had been gained, and
Burnside still held the bridge and his posi-
ton beyond. Everything was favorable
for renewal of the fight in the morning

Dying Rich with a Vengeance.

1t is related by passengers who escaped
from the wreck of the Golden Gate, that
colored man named Peterson, one of the
cooks belonging to the steamer, took adj
vantage of the panic to gather up snch
loose change as the terror-stricken passen-
gers had abandoned in the cabins and state
rooms. He succeeded in picking up suffi-
cient coin and valuables to fill two good
sized carpet sacks. Taking large carving
knife between his teeth, and Selling the
carpet sacks, one in each hand, Peterson
jumped overheard, and, in the language of
our informant, she anchored himself along
side the wreck, and didn't show his nose
