b The immense Bull Run Morntan seems
cleft in TWAIN, as if by some mighty power.
The way is scarcely wide enough to admit of
the passage Of wagon. To an immense
height, Oh each side, rise huge piles of lime
stone rocks, from whose crevices spring a
thousand fountains, whose splashing upon
the rocks beneath is echoed ton thousand
times. Huge trees from an immense canopy
in the heights, rising one above the other.
The sun smiles but in few places in the dark
passage. The bottom Of the gap is filled
with rocks and mud, and it seemed scarcely
possible to q novice in mountain wonders,
that either horses or vehicle could pass the
tortuous, rough and dark layrinth. But it
was done this morning. The advance guard,
led by Stahl and Wyndham, is followed with
the rush of artillery and horsemen The
occasional reflection from the bright brass
twelve Founders, and the tremendous rum
bling OF the wheels, tell that they are rapid.

CATER Of q Thousand of hoofs and the clank-
ing of the sabres echo with such force as to
be painful to the ear. But onward press the

Burnside resigned in 1858 After his resg.
nation, he turned his attention t. the manu-
facture Of brccch. loading rifle of his owr.
invention, known as the" Burnside rifle"
project which resulted in considerable pc
cuniary loss.
Gen. Burnside then sold his establishment
to his brother.in- law, who has supplied quite
number of the Burnside rifles to the pres
ent administration. Subsequently to this,
he was with Gen. Mcclellan, connected with
the Illinois Central railroad, holding the pos
ition of president of the land department. -
While resident at Bristol, Rhode Island, he
married Miss Bishop, OF Providence, and re-
moved with her to Chicago, upon being APP
elected major-general Of the Rhode Island
militia during his sojourn at Bristol. Sholt-
ly after removing to Chicago, he was elected
treasurer of the Central railroad, and there
upon removed to this city, from which he
was summoned on the outbreak OF the rebel
lion, by Gov. Sprague, to assume the colonel
cy of the lst Rhode Island volunteers. This
regiment did good service in the first battle
of Bull Run, its colonel acting as brigadier
general OF the I'd brigade, I'd division. After
this he was appointed brigadier general of
volunteers, his commission being dated the
9th of August, 1861. .r, $780,. ~. ...---t, s
OF the celebrated I" Burnside expedition" )"
to North Carolina, nothing need be said. At
the battle of Antiatam, in S'p.embtr last,
Burnside's corps d armse performed highly
important part. It took the main road to
Sharpsburs, on the left, and encountered the
most determined opposition in successfully
executing its part Of the general plan of the
battle. Gen. Burnside had to cross the
bridge ovor the Antietam Creek, and dis
lodge the enemy, who were in strong force
and position on the opposite side. Twice
his army made an attempt to cross, and twice
was it repulsed with heavy loss, but the
third attack, led by the general in person,
was successful and the position was won,
though at great sacrifice of life. BEL '
In October last, Gen Burnside was assign
ed to the general charge of the defenses of
Harper's Ferry, just recovered from the rcb-
els, after having been surrendered by Col.
Miles The I'd and 18th army corps were at
the same time placed under his command.-

mac began to move, Gen. Burnside, with his
I'd army corps, crossed the Potomac, in light
marching order, Immediately after Pleasant
