The SINGING w ARRIoRs .-Germans sing and
| fight fight ard sing. Does history record an in
stance where battalions which moved singing into
battle ever fed from the face of the enemy? AT
ter day of fighting at Pea Ridge, in which hun
dreds of our troops were left on the field dead or
wounded, a correspondent says:
Atheadquarters most OF the commanders pass
ed sleepless night. Though there were but few
words spoken, nearly every one felt that the fol-
lowing day would but usher in our defeat.
Most Of the officers were fearful of the results
of the battle on the morrow, since those OF the
days battle had been so unfavorable. Some
turned their thoughts upon escape. bus saw not
how it was to be accomplished, as our only lines
of retreat to the north, were completely cut off
Amid all this gloom, German courage re-
manned firm and mistaken. The correspondent
says:
From the camp of a German regiment the potes
of some plantive air was waited on the wind in
words unintellgble to my ear. 1t reminded me
that long ago in the Crimea, on the night before
the storrning Of the Malakoff the entire British
army in the trenches before Sebastopol Joined in
singing famous Scottish ballad:
They sang of love and not of fame;
Forget was Britain's glory,
Each heart recalled different name,
But all sang Annie Laurie
"A man named Dabod, with pass signed by
GeiI. Grant, was arrested on Monday at New
Albany as a rebel spy. He hailed from Tennes-
see.
The New Albany Ledger says:
| There has been another lot of Generals ap-
pointed promoted for gallantry in the field but
we find neither the name of Davis, Manson, or
Veatch. or any other lndianian, the deeds of some
of whom are surely worthy of recognition.
The 23d Indiana, Col Sanderson, are en-
camped near PittSburg, Tennessee river; the SD,
Col. Gresham, and the 3lst, Col. Cruft, are in

DR.. O'Ferrall, of Lafayette, has rendered

-Quartermaster Underwood writes to the La
fayette Journal from the battle ground of the
late Arkansas fight, that one Of Ssgel's Majors,
with twenty men and one piece ofartillery, killed
thirty five secessionists at fire, with the loss
of only two of our men.
Lieutenant w c. Elkin. Quartermaster OF
this post, started for Nashville in charge of near
100 recruits for the 9th, 9th, 10th. 18th, 18th,
29th, Both and 39th regiments. We learn this
from Lieutenant Omar Tousey, Post Adjutant.
General Grant, though hardly forty years of
age, has been in seventeen battles, in three OF
which he commanded, and was in the Mexican
war.
Capt. Chris. Miller, the brave and gallant
Indiana officer who severely wounded at
the battle of Rich Mountain last fall, is now at
his home in Lafayette. His reception by his fell
low citizens must have been most gratifying TO
him. On all hands he received the PROUD and
well earned congratulations due hero-one who
had spilled his blood for his country, its Consti-
tuition, and its laws. Capt. Miller was elected
during his absence Auditor Of Tippecanoe coun
ty, and we learn is so far recovered from his Sc
we're wounds as to be able to enter Immediately
on his duties. The people of Tippecanoe, the
people of the whole State. will at some future
day still further honor Capt Miller.
