On the Rebel side, the Indians were in
command of Pike, Standwartz and Ross.-
They proved of little account, except to
plumber and rifle the dead and scalp the
wounded of which fact Col. Busy, of the
Third Illinois Cavalry, has ample evidence.
In the field these cowardly allies could not
be brought within range of our cannon
They would say Ugh, big gum and skc-
daddlc for the brush.
A Sece5h doctor who came afterward into
our camp, relates that on the morning of the
battle, he observed about 300 Indians daub
their faces all over with black from the coal
of the charred stumps. The doctor inquired
of one of the chiefs the significance of paint
ing thus, when he WAS answered that "thG
Indians when going to fight, painted their
faces red; but when they are pinched with
hunger, they color black" These fellows
had nothing to cat in two days.
A man was shot through the body with a
ball, and caught in the waistband of his
pantaloons, where it had lodged.
In the battle of the Sth II ball struck tree,
shiv ering it to splinters. One of the splin-
ters,six feet long, struck scccsh and i'm
pulled him to the earth.
A ball. after breaking the legs oftwo men,
hit Captain Iobb on the back of his leg and
WIS stopped. Inc Sdpthiu WhS slISutll
injured, and his sword was battered.
McCulloch was killed in the bush on f
slight elevation on the opposite side of the
field, by Peter Pelican, private in company
B, Thirty sixth Illinois. The attack in
which the ubiquitous Ben was taken off,
was led by Capt. Miller. McCullUeh vrnra a
dress of black velvet, patent leather high-top
boots, and he had on light colored broad
brimmed Texan hat. He was on u light bay
horse. Pelican went up and took good
watch, which is now in possession of Col.
Greusel.

gradually lowered them Every discharge
brought their balls ftarfully nearer. We
were impatient to return the fire, but dare
not till the command was given. Our
Colonel passed along in front of the line, and
urged us to stand firm till the proper time,
and the day would be ours. 1t is u task to
hold men exposed to the cnemys fire with
out allowing them to return it. They will
soon run one WAY or the other. The enemy )
shot now begun to howl around us, plough
through our ranks and tear up the earth
about our feet. A ak pound ball cut off the
bayonet of my messmate on my left; mo-
ment more and one struck him in the breast,
severing him almost in twain. He reeled
and fell like log. The hot blood from his
heart spirited full in my face! Great God
how | felt A faint sickcning sensation
came over me- / stopped down over him.
He smiled family, spoke my name, gasped
and expired He was trightiully mangled
/ WAS maddened to desperation. All thought
of fear vunished | could have fought thou
sands.
The command Fire rang along the line,
and Il tremendous crash of musketry an
swered the command. We now loaded and
fred for life Dense volumes of sulphurous
smoke hung like pail over us and shut out
the enemy from our sight. The rattle of
musketry, the screaming of shells, the thun-
ders of the artillery, the whisting of bullets,
the shouts of command, commingled with
curses, prayers, and groans of the wounded
and dying, filed the air. Our men, black
with smoke and powder looked like devils
incarnate NJ they piled their work of death
At length Il breeze rolled away the smoke
that shrouded US, and disclosed our other
columns bearing down upon the enemy's
flank Now was the decisive moment.
"Charye bdyon4ts!' rang out, and with
loud shouts We rushed forward to the assault.
A storm of grape snd canister was hurled
against us "a We neared the batteries. Like
maddened tigers our men lcaped forward
with the cold steel. The struggle over the
guns was desperate. 1t was butchery,
savage i'll the extreme. The enemy soon
broke and neu, leaving us masters of the
field. Since that time have not felt the
least dread or hesitation on entering battle.
After the first few shots, fire away as cody
IL when hunting squirrels.

Times THAT ARE FooLIsH.--A great
many foolish things are said and done in the
world, among which an unknown writer
classes the following For young man to
think he does himself credit by hanging
around stores and taverns, smoking bad
cigars, and paying for whisky and oysters,

youths as soft in brain as himself For u
lady to be annoyed because gentlemen do
not always give her the best half of the
street and the incest seat in the public us
sembly. She should not forget that these
conventional courtesies are not her right any
further than they choose to concedc them.
For an unhcdged to think that he must buy
eXtravagant gloves and cravats for every
festival OCCASION because Jones, whose father
is worth thirty thousand dollars, does SO.
The best way OF proving his manhood would
be to leave such things entirely alone. For
Il girl to stay away from party because she
has worn all of her dresses, and can't have
II new one, isn't it something akin to self
conccit for her to imagine that people haze
nothing to do but to think about her dresses
For man to be cXtra-iastidious about
colognes, diamond tinger-rings and scented
pocket bandkerchiefs, and then set society at
defiance with his cigar-case and tobacco
box. For girl to think that she is estab-
fishing her character rs u young lady of
fashion by allowing her mother to toll
through all the drudgery Of the house, and
then investing her money i'll gaudy brooches
and artificial flowers. For man to suppose
himself u gentleman because he touches his
hat to party of splendidly-dressed young
ladies, while he scorns to lend helping
hand TO the woman who is struggling across
the street For simple working girl to

TERRIBLE FIGHT BETWEEN THREE RERI;I.
REGIMENTS AT MANAssAs.-An officer of our
army just returned from Manassas called last
evening and gave us an interesting account
of his visit to Manassas and the battlefield
of Bull Run A farmer, residing near Cen
trerllle, told Him th"t IN january last q
number of regiments were quartereo nvaI
his house one from Kentucky, at the expi
ration of their time of enlistment unani-
mously resolved to return home, and accord
ingly stacked their arms and were preparing
for start when their further progress was
arrested by the appearance Of an Alabama
and q Tennessee regiment, who were ordered
to reduce the Kentuckians to submission,
anu compel them to remain. The kentuck-
lans seized theiI arms and desperate fight
ensued, in which many were slain Oh both
sides, and their bodies were buried where
they fell, the graves being yet visible.
From this spot the mutineers rctreated a
short distance. threw down their arms, and
each drawing his bowie knife made des-
perate charge upon the two regiments; the
fight was terrific, in which more than u hun
dred were killed, and they too were buried
upon the field Of slaughter.
At last the brave Kcntuckians were sub
ducd. The battlefield was shown to our
informant by the farmer, who witnessed the
fearful contest. In trayersing the field he
discovered large bowie knife, which,
doubtless, had been used in this fearful fray.

THE UNRETURNINa.

A touch OF the olden joy may steal
Into our hearts with sweet appeal,
Although we may not trace
The denr white head we loved Of yorc,
Nor in the sunny walk once more
Behold the much-loved face;
Nor hear the msiden's voice, which TOOK
The silence like murmuring brook
When all the land is still
Nor hear the sound Of the little feet
With music in it, wondrous sweet,
The inmost sense to Gil.
We shall mis- them all, and sigh to fee
On many heart and silence steal
For they return no more
With the snowdrop and the lily leaf,
Be dreary winter long or brief,
When tho wild dark days are DER
No more come back with song and srnila,
And winning grace and pretty vile;
For oh what mortal hand
Shall seirc the glowing glass OF limo,
And turn-revealing our sweet prime
The downward-running sand
Yet mourn we not-the tide Of years
That dark and wearisome appears,
Doth ever beat and swell
On summer isles Of perfect calm,
And shores all glorious with tho palm,
Where happy spirits dwell.
They come not back-thc awful tide
On which the ships of earth do ride,
Ebbs never. never there
The silent ferryman Of Death
Without life, or light, or breath,
Steers for haven fair,
A still small voico we then shall hear-
Then welcome from all voices dear
As we do make the land
And faces fondly loved on earth
Shall greet us-we shall feel the worth
Of many clasring hand.
o then to feel our pinions break,
Our voices with new music wake,
And heave our throbbing breast
Where all is light and love, and peaso;
"The wicked from their troubling cease,
And the weary are at rest ~

Scene between Mrs. James X. Polk and
General Mitchell.
4 correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gasetae

A correspondent of tue Cincinnati Gasette,
writing from Nashville says:
The following interesting scrap of news ia
told by an eyewitness to the scene. Ono
day last week, Gen. Buell. and all the briga-
diers of the department, who were present,
went in body to call upon Mrs. James X.
Polk and her neice, daughter of the ex-Rev.
Gen. Lconidas. Mrs. Polk seemed deter
mined that no doubt should be entertained
IA to her sentiments in regard to our unhappy
difficulties The gentlemen present, as they
were seyerally addressed, simply bowed in
silence, until Gen. MITCHELL who was stand
ing somewhat away from the party, WAS
singled out To him Mrs. Z. remarked,
General, trust this war will speedily ter
inmate in the acknowledgment of Southern
independence" The remark was a signal
for Il lull in the conversation, and all eyes
were turned upon the General to hear his
reply.
He stood with his lips firmly compressed
and his eyes looking full into those of Mrs.
Polk rs long ss she spoke. He then said
Madame, the man whose name you bear
WAS once the President of the United States !;
he was an honest man and true patriot
he administered the laws of this Government
with equal justice to oil. We know no
independence of one section of our country
which does not belong to all others, and
Judging by the past, if the mute lips of tho
honorcd dead who lies so near US, could
speak, they would express the hope that this
war might never cease, if that cessation was
purchased by the dissolution of the Union
of States over which he once presided" 1t
is needless to say the effect was electrical.
made, rs the remark was in calm, tlignifed
tone, and with that carncstness for which
the General is noted; no offence could he
taken.
Southern independence was not mentioned
again during the interview.
