Incidents of the War.

The following extracts are from letter
of Sergeant UNDERWOOD, of the Second
Minnesota Sharpshooters, to the st. An
thony Ne,cs. Mr.. UNDERWOOD has con-
tributed to our columns several interesting
letters from the seat of war. He had but
just returned to his Company from sick
furlough, when he was wounded at the bat
tie Of Antietam, and is now in Hospital at
Harrisburg, Pa.
Did You hear of the sad case Of poor
Woods, of Owatonna, of the Second Com
pany Of Sharpshooteus? Itoccurred while
the regiment was still at Harrison's Land
ing. He was perhaps the lightest hearted
and merriest man in the company, of great
endurance, the long march only seemed to
increase his spirits, his song and jest enliv-
ening the camp at the end of the tOilsOme
day. He finally excited attention by be-
coming detected and melancholy. In all
conversation, he would disparage himself,
and at one time said he was coward, and
asked the Captain to shoot him as such.
All had settled into the belief of his insan-
ity, when one day he took into his hand
the simple blade of Spanish knife-a two
edged blade-the handle being broken off,
and placing the point in the corner of his
eye, drove the blade into his head its
whole length, being about A inches. The
Surgeon being called, extracted it, Woods
remarking that it did not hurt, and that
he could have pulled it out himself No
blood followed the extraction of the blade,
and the surgeons all wondered that he could
live an hour or even minute Still he
lived and was not sent away to general
hospital for several days. 1t was thought
our Brigade Surgeons wished that if he
died, he might die here, so that they might
examine and report so strange case, but
humanity prevailed over their curiosity,
and he was sent away. No word has since
come back to the company from him,
though he is supposed to have died shortly
after.
In the past month l have talked with
many prisoners. Ali agree in wishing
peace. The day of the battle I lay talking
with an intelligent Texan. Orr fighting
was over and we were friends. The thought
came home with force" What is there
between us that we should have been seek
ing each others lives, but an hour since ~
He was clever fellow-just such an one
as pick up for friend, the world over.
Said Texas, eff dozen men of each Sec
ton had been hung at the beginning, no
war would have occurred" and the SOL
diers in the two armies could settle the
whole matter with bottle of whisky" l
believe it, and that in the settlement the
Union could be saved, too.

Who Is General George w. Morgan?

General George W. Morgan, the gallant
commander of the army which has just
returned from Cumberland Gap, is a Penn
sylvanian by birth He was for two years
at West Point; was Colonel of the Second
Ohio regiment of twelve-months volunteers
in the Mexican war, and was breveted
Brigadier-General for gallant and merito-
rious oondnct at Contreras and CheribuscO,
in the latter Of which battle he was severe
ly wounded.
\ correspondent of the Louisville Jour-
nal writes as follows concerning the con-
duct of this gallant officer in a position,
during the Mexican War, equally critical
with that he has just done so well:
Just previous to the battle of Buena
Vista, in Mexico, he was Colonel of an
Ohio regiment, assigned to the disagaee-
able duty Of conveying provision trains
from Camargo, on the Rio Grande, to
Monterey. Information reached him that
General Santa Anna was marching on Ge-
neral Taylor with an overwhelming force,
apd had sent General Urea around with
four thousand cavalry to cut off his sup
| piles and intercept his retreat. Morgan
was then at Ceralvo with only battalion
| of about 800 men, and had to decide i'm
mediately whether to attempt to reach the
river in the rear, or Monterey, more than
sixty miles distant in front He decided
to attempt the latter. He then gathered
all his stores and wagons, except one, into
| the middle of the Plaza and burned them,
and then formed his men into a hollow
| square, with the one wagon in the middle,
and started on his perilous 1'et1'em for
aco,eL Soon Ureau and his 1000 horse
men appeared and formed, in the first
! open space, far q charge, threatening to
ride down the little band of bristling ba-
yOnets. But they rode furiously up only
to break and scatter before reaching the
| rock of their own destruction Again and
again they formed at every convenient
place, only to go through with the same
maneuvre. Never could Urea, with all his
efforts, get his men up to the point of the
bayOnet or often within convenient reach
Of cold lead; while onward went the reso-
lutte three hundred, never resting, except
| for few moments at a time, in their
tracks and with their arms in their hands,
during the whole long march. In the
meantime General Taylor had defeated
Santa Anna and fallen back with portion
of his army to Monterey From that
place he sent out several miles two field
pieces, which drove off Urea and enabled
Morgan's men to relax little. But when
he ended the march many Of them were
more nearly dead than alive. He had,
however, accomplished his object, with the
loss of only one man wounded, and he on
the top of the wagon.
/ know not that longer continuous
march was ever made by body of men
in arms. By many acquainted with all the
circumstances, it was considered one of
the most remarkable feats of the Mexican
war. General Morgan's late successful
move from the Gap will, however, figure
largely in history, and place his name,
along with those of Sigel and Banks,
among the very few generals who have
been great on retreat.

solve in the ethereal Of the spirit life. She
has word for every one, and has nearly
finished her daily round when she stops by
the bed of a youth, by the side of one of
the church windows, which look out upon
grassy turf shaded by thick shrubbery.
Her hand is on his temple. He is fair
haired, blue-eyed boy. He looks up into
her eyes with bewildered gaze, and there
passes between his lips in a broken whis-
per, the word Mother" The fever has
left him, and as she wipes the death-damp
from his brow, she feels her own sorrows
grow lighter as she moistens the lips of
that dying stranger. Worthy is she to be
christened as an American woman-wor-
thy to bear the name of the great Douglas.

Washington HOspitals---The Widow
Douglas.

1t is sad and painful thing to 90
through these military hospitals, but the
ottener one goes the stronger becomes the
melancholy desire to renew the visit.
Many scenes here transpire of heart
rending character, and some of them sur
passing the widest dream of romance or
most incredulous tale of fiction. In some
hospitals the nurses are dressed in gar
ments of close-ftting dark grey, and wear
white hoods which partially conceal their
calm, earnest features. Night and day
and day and night they walk noiselessly
from bed to bed, ministering to the wants
of humanity. What errands of mercy,
and how appropriate the name, ''Sisters of
Mercy" In another building, and equal
ly patient in toll and assiduity to the care
of the sick and wounded, may be seen the
lovely daughters and mothers of New Eng
land and the North, and the Great West
and the Border States, giving words of
comfort and love to her betrothed, or IA
Their, or brother, neither forgetting the
stranger, whose kin are on the banks of
the Shannon, the Seine, the Vistula, the
Rhine, or the Pesth
Amid all that throng of noble women,
whose presence everywhere mitigates the
horrors Of war, there is seen one whose
coming is the signal of unusual emotion
among the many patients. She is young
and faultlessly beautiful. She dresses
very plainly and in deep mourning,
which probably adds to the marble white
ness of her calm and expressive features.
She never seems to smile, yet each sick
mans eye brightens as he hears the tones
OF her voice. Human sorrow holds the
bond of infectious sympathy, and hers is a
sorrow so enduring that its great seal shall
be broken only when earthly things dis

A DEEP SIGH FROM Observation-Disclosures
the heading of ''The last Ship" the Nam
tucket Mirror says:
The ship Narragansett left this place on
Saturday evening last, in tow of steamer
Island Home. She has been purchased by
firm in Boston, and taken to Fairhaven
for repair. Not ship now remains at our
wharves. Little could we have believed,
twenty years ago, that we should ever have
chronlcled the fact. At that time, our

noisy with the din of hammers and drivers,
caulklng mallets and axes Transfers
were trucking oil from the wharves to the
various factories about the town, and I'M
loading stores for the shipping. Vessels
were constantly arriving and sailing, and
the cheering song of the mariner was heard,
unloading their cargoes at the wharf

about; what will another twenty wears

But why don't you like him, Agatha -
"Oh, because -
What philosopher ever solved the mys-
tery Of this true wOman's reason? "Be-
cause" means ten thousand things that
pretty, dimpled lips don't choose to put
into shape. 1t means that they know orhy
perfectly well themselves, but won't tell ;
and not all the cOaxing OF curiosity can get
it out Of them.
And so pretty Agatha Milne played with

glowed on her belt-ribbon, and lifted up

patton of braidng and arranging Agatha s
beautiful waves of auburn gold hair, "I'm
sure I've heard you say, again and again,

parties, and-oh, Agatha! don't jerk your
head so, or shall have to braid all these
strands over again!
Nonsense; that's no test at ALL! " said
Agatha, pettishly, the peach-like crimson
mounting to her cheek "What can you
tell about young man from mere ball
room acquaintance? Any one can be
agreeable enough to hold your bouquet, or
bring you an ice-cream that is, if he knows
enough not to tread on your toes in the
polka, nor to step on your tlOunces in a
promenade"

that Mr.. Fitz Aubyn, silver tongued as he
is to me, with his homage and compli-
ments, don't go home and swear at his
mother and sisters? How do know that
Mr.. Jennings, who has the whole diction-
airy at his tingers-ends, doesn't cheat his
landlady! What means have of ascer-
tanning that young St. Simons, who is such
a graceful waltzer and agreeable small
talker, does not finish his evenings at a
drinking saloon? Oh, Ruth, we have tests
for ascertaining spurious dollars and coun-
terfet bank notes, but how on earth are
we to know a counterfeit husband until he
is tied to an unlucky iapron-string for
life?"
She laughed as she sprang up to look for
her bonnet, but lifelong eye lashes dropped

Inability of Steamboats, to Transport
Our Wheat.
From the WinOna Republican, of Saturday.

From the Winona Republican, of Saturday
So great is the quantity of wheat now
being marketed in the river towns of this
State, that the entire steamboat tonnage
Of the Upper Mississippi is insufficient for
its transportation to the several lines of rail-
road leading to the Lake ports Every
boat that floats on the river is tasked to it's
utmost carrying capacity, and the railroads
are crowded to their greatest extent; and
yet the warehouses of this city, and of
| other towns on the river, are full of wheat,
which, it is feared, cannot be moved east
ward before the close of navigation, now
rapidly drawing near.
AS another indication of the quantity of
wheat now being received at Winona, we
may state that during the past three weeks
the steamboat Keokuk, running between
this place and the La Crosse Railroad, has
carried off daily full 5000 bushels on an
average, or $4,000 bushels per week. And
this, be it remembered, is but one of the
many river craft doing business with this
port. On Friday evening, the Key City,
a Prairie du Chen packet, took on board
here 1000 sacks of wheat. And so with
nearly all the others, which, to the average
number of three steamboats, daily, stop at
Winona.
The receipts Of wheat in this market last
winter, during the suspension of naviga-
ton, exceeded 100000 bushels. This year
they bid fair to be double that amount.
AT any rate, it is safe to predict that there
will not be much vacant room in our ware
houses by the LIST of April next We do
not think that we overrate the present re-
ceipts in placing them, for the three weeks
past, at TO- 900 bushels per week. ~

AN EPISODE OF THE WAR.

The following verses are from an English
factory operatives in the country for the want
of cotton:
Dead-dead-dead
Far better it should be so;
To lie in a paupers coffin there,
Than Sins temptation to know.
EOr ., my girl was bOnny and fair,
But beauty's curse, you see,
When Hunger and Want, Disease and Care
Such merciless fiends can be.
1t was for her sake, that, day by day,
My heart grew heavy and sore;
Till hope itself seemed ebbing away
From my life's dark, sunless shore.
Dead-dead-
She was starved to death. / say.
Because of the fierce and cruel strife
Mid our kinsmen far away.
Man, look on her face so worn and pale
On her hands. SO white and thin:
Here was IA spirit that would not quail
From striving her bread to win.
But yonder, closed, is the factory-gate,
The engine is red with rust
and what could we do but starve and wait
Till peace should bring us crust;
Dead-dead-dead
With her brother living i'll.
And her father shivering on the step
That leads to the silent mill
Alone kneel in my binding tears
Alone in my black despair
My heart Oerburdencd with gloomy fears,
Yet far too bitter for prayer?
Why do you pirate how the world still grows
More kind and more wise each day?
Wars bloody fame still glitters and CLOVIS:
The olives peace decay,
Dead-dead--dead
Oh God that my curse should fall
On the heads OF those whose selfish aims
Have worked such woe for us all.
Man, blame me not for my burning words
Nor bid me these thoughts disclaim:
For death has riven the silvery chords
That swelled through my angushed frame.
True lin only woman. whose heart
Lies struck by mortal blow:
But God. how keen is the bleeding smart

Professor Theophilus Parsons, of the
Cambridge Law School, has written let
ter to the Boston Daily Adrertiser, in
which he maintains the constitutionality of
the Presidents proclamation as a war mea-
sure. Professor Parsons is a man of emf
nent legal ability and pure patriot.
The letter was written before the proc
lamation suspending the writ Of habeas
corpus was issued, and the sentiment
"our whole people should feel that they
constitute the army of the Union'- is in
dicative Of the ground he would take rela-
tive to the suspension ofthe habeas corpus.
