Among the many gallant heroes Of the Pitts
burg battle, none outshone in gallant con-
duct, Col. E. N. Kirk, Of the 344th Ilinios Reg
iment, during the recent battle. He COM
1nanded the 5th Brigade in McCook's Dis7islon
Of Buell's army, his regiments consisting Of

the 3oth Indiana, Col Bass, and the nth Penn
sy1vania, Col Hambright.
Col. Kirk was wounded through the lower
part of his body severely, and through his
right arm, and is now at Savannah. Maj.
Chas. N. Levanway Of the 34th Ill, was killed,
and the regiment was badly cut up. Mrs.
Kirk is at Cairo trying to break red tape
enough to get to her wounded husband The
annals Of the battle will do Justice to this
regiment, for they saw hard service during
that bloody encounter, aud the gallant Col.
commanding the 9Th Brigade distinguished
bimse1f nobly. It will be source Of pride to
the people Of Lee, Ogle, Carroll, and White

STAND BY THE ARMY,

No Army was ever SO constantly in
mems thoughts, and watched in all its
movements by So many eyes as that which
has gone forth TO crush the Rebellion.
There is deeper feeling Of interest and
sympathy, Of high hope or fearful ap-
prehension, stirred by all its marches
and battles, by its successes or failures, than
has ever before been felt for any troops
No Onion man but what feels that all his
best interests, and his most cherished hopes
for himself and his country have been con
fded to the keeping Of the army; and all
must and will hold that army to q faithful,
loyal and brave discharge Of their momen-
tous trust When all that men hold dear
is etaked On the issue; when their lives,
their fortunes, their hearts, all they enjoy
for themselves, or hope for their children =;
are placed in chosen hands to be guarded
and preserved, it is to be expected that
those on whom tnis solemn duty has been
laid will be watched with the most

lack oi activity Of courage or Judgment;
every act Of omission or commissions any
