Extract from Letter on the Battle. field.)


This battle (Antietam) has been the most
sanguinary Of the war, and the only one fought
with design and upon military principles. The
arrangement Of our corps-the overlooking po.
sition Of tho Commanding General-the sending
into action the right and the ieft-the closing
up OF the centre, and final suooess-excites be.
widsring admiration, and carries the mind to
|<he great fields Of AusterlitZ and Wagram,
fought by Napoleon. or all this have spoken.
The heart history Of such a conflict, purchased
by the life and blood of twenty thousand men,
must be found in the hospitals. War has its
eiories-but II has It's ton thousand demons In
these human tortures, that make the eye-balls
sohe-the heart bleed--the lips palsy, and the
brain reel. Tho sight Is at nrst positively un.
endurable. The life blood Of some is still trick.
ling away In silent oalmness-while the dis.
severed limbs and maniac brain Of others give
rise to sounds God grant may not again wit
nsss.
But 70 mothers who now seek son-or wife
i 4 husband--or sister q brother-or sons u
fsther-know and bs consoled that even here
the hand Of mercy is watohful. and better care
10 bestowed upon your loved one than might at
nrst seem possible. It was in the hospital
where rested the gallant Hooker, that learned
the history Of those mythical words 80 often
seen and so little understood, "S. T.-ls6O-X."
Anything allevialing the suffsrings and saving
the lives Of our soldiers Ia national blessing.
I Witnessed some astonishing results from this
article.
II is we'll known the effect Of burnt gunpow-
der and excitement Ia thirst, which, added to
the loss OF blood In the wounded, creates the
necessity Of q reviving stimulant. In this par.
ucular hospital, the physicians were allowing
their patients to drink Plantation Bitters, other.
wise oaled s. T.-ls6Q-X, and although the
wounded are most numerous here-this divis-
| lon having opened the fight ats In the morning
the mon wore mostly composed. and there was
but very little fainting. The article acts upon
the stomach, and nerves In n most incompre.
hensible manner, superior TO brandy, and with.
out subsequent supplying reaction. It origi-
mated In the West Indies, containing calisaya
bark, winter green, lavender, anise, Glove
buds orange, snake root, &o.. preserved in st.
Croix Rum-the 8. T.-ls6O-X being a secret
Ingredient, not yet revealed to the public. II
is principally recommended for want Of appe.
tite, ,disordered liver, Intermittent fevers, stom
achic dihioulties, &o. I understand It was
somewhat known In the Southern States previ
Gus to tho war, and II appears an agent Of JEFF
ferson Davis recently applied to the proprie.
tors for the privilege TO make It for hospital
purposes during the war, 10 which they made
the following reply:
