in my ears. The battle field is now lit
orally a field Of graves, or vast city Of the
dead. One faay travel over an area five
miles long and four broad, and his eyes
viii rest every 9Th minute or less upon
the mound Of new earth thrown up q
mark the spot where some young here
sleeps BIS last long Sleep. Friend and
foe are side by side and in a future,
happier year the friends of each may
weap together over them. Officers as
well as soldiers have fallen. Many who
have commands will command no more
on earth. Their sun set in blood to rise
not till the resurrection morn. Peace
TO their glorious ashesl
Your correspondent saw the body Of a
man which the bearers Of a rebel Gag of
truce claimed as that Of General Braxion
Bragg. So the Mexican hero has fallen
10 an ingIorious cause. So perish the
enemies of our noble Republic.
Great bravery was shown by officers
as well as men of our army throughout
the battles progress. No Drawer Gener-
al than Lew. Wallace was on the field,
and none more courageous than Colonel
Thayer, Acting Brigadier General
Scarce less holder were Lieut.. Col. Nc
Cord and Acting Adjutant Cramer, who
ordering The Regiment to lie down, stood
up themselves TO receive the shells and
grape, and bullets Of the enemy
Our Regiments loss is light. Twenty
in killed and wounded VIII number all
The Regiment was in dangers reach all
day, and It's surprising no more were
killed OF hurt! IT'S fair to say the rebels
lost FIVE men 10 every one they killed Of
ours along the line Of battle. We may
see the rebels again in a7few days, and
strife may now be awaiting Us.
Al great deal of rain has fallen since
the battle. and The roads are very heavy.
So soon as the weather and roads settle,
battles and rumOrs of battles may be
rife. OF these things,

Both Fan and Spring wheat in this
county look well. A rain is now much
needed The ground is yet sufficiently
moist at a small depth, but the surface is
TOO dry for small grain to grow fast.
we see many Of the farmers in this
county have put their wheat on old corn
ground without blowing. They sow the
wheat ip the stalks, then harrow it, thus
breaking the stalks, they then drag the
ground over with brush at right angles
with the way it was narrowed. This is
apparently a slovenly way o. farming;
bu, notwithstanding The lazy appearance
Of this mode Of putting in wheat. we
know Of some fields where both plans
were tried, and hat which was sowed on
STALK ground, withOu, even breaking The
stalks, yielded the most grain.
