burned their dead in their hospitals. The charred

bitterness among our soldiers, especially us the

MISCELLANY.
Hot Experience Down South.

At viclxsburg the heat is intense with very
little air stirring, and one can do naught but
bear it, shifting uneasily from spot to spot in
search OF a breath of air, aud followed in the
pilgrimage by torinentng flies and ceaseless
gnats. Wearied and worried out he will, per-
haps, fling himself upon the floor, and 60 to
sleep In sheer desperation, with night mare
Oh his brain.whch magnifies everything into
monster, and every gusi of hot, sultry air into
a sirocco. To roll and toss into languid wake
fitness is bat natural. Tormented with fever
ish thirst, he will rush for water, and gulp
down the foulest fluid that ever passed mans
lips; Mississippi river water-so muddy and
thick that silver dollar is invisible in ii when
barely covered in the bottom of glass. A
Northern farmer would carry water in buckets
a mile before be would allow his cattle to touch
such stuff Exhausted and ifetful, he wears
away the day. He does not pretend to eat.
There is nothing to eat but army rations of
salt meat and stale bread, which would turn
dog sick when the feeling OF disgust comes on;
even If he escapes ruined digestion, of which
there is but slight probability. As night APP
proaches, the heat dies away, and he hopes for
comfort.
Most deusive hopel As the sun sinks, ami
mated nature comes forth. A low hum an
nounces the gathering insect host, increasing
as they come, filling the atmosphere with the
ttCd0 HiiAhfffC iHtiC - Hp cttcp
with that sound ringing in the air, aud yet ev-
cry where You turn, IL still greets you. The
same low, ceaseless hum, like the distant whirl
Of spindles, or the sound Of the monotonous
surf on the sea-shore. L need not describe the
agonies of night in such eompanionship. A
series OF hours embodying all the miseries of
life. The heat will kill you every successive
hour, and the mosquitoes will pick your bones
clean. You die dozen deaths before morn
ing, and arise bistered and mangled body, fit
for nothing but spleen, vocal with no sounds
but maledictions and curses. l am not exag-
gerating in any particular sense. In my own
person have undergone it all, and experience
Is the best of teachers. l have, for days at a
time, sweltered with the heat, and turned
with disgust from every mouthful offood, and
for week Of nights, walked the floor in a
frame Of mind fit to make a lunatic, until ma
ture gave way and change was Indispensable
These are the comforts of pure unadulterated
Southern life. Let those seek it who desire it,
