ed in the good work of supplying our
sick aud wounded with concentrated
meats, ought to know that great care is
necessary in eanHiag them, else they
will not keep in any climate. re
TO put meats in cans at ones house,
and then carry them to the timers to
be soldered, will not answer. The cans
should be filed as full as possible; the
timer must be present aud solder them
Immediately, when boiling hot; other
wise more than one-half will spoil
The longer. chickens are stewed, and
concentrated, the more likely to keep.

The Nashville correspondent of the
New York World writes as follows:
You should have witnessed the sud
den and satisfactory alteration in the
dialect and demeanor of treason pro-
duced by these arrests. Saucy secesh
says to Union citizen:
81 guess the old Government is
around after all. l began to think
you'd let us down easy. To tell you
the truth, nothing will put down the
masses quicker than little tight deal
ing with the leaders" "
Says another: "I've voted for this
thing, but the fact is we we're all wrong,
the United States Government never
hurt any of us, and l am willing
to go back to my allegiance, and
stay back" ...f
Nashville treason is throttled. You
hear no more of its insolence, aud see
no more Of its iniquity on these streets
than on the streets Of Cincinnati. l
observe that some Of the newspapers
are still slyly advocating the pussy-cat
policy for the conqurrel territory. AS
wo value the Union, and the blessed
blood poured out for it, let there be no
such advocacy II is mischievous--it is
perilous. We are dealing with half
million of people whose worst aed hrst
bluuder was, that they might treat
their Government as no other people
dared treat theirs. They eau only be
brought to their senses, can only be
permanently convinced Of their delu.

BT MS CRIPPLED BRorHEn, GRANVILLE.
Rest, dearest brother, the battle Is o'eri
Thy hardshps are ended, thy warfare Is done
Brareiy thou struggled, but struggled no more
Enicy the sweet peace which thy vslor hath wonl
We fain wcuid have met thee once here below
no have welcomed thee homo from the field Of tho
brave
70 have shown thee we love thee when We said, ego
And die, II It must be, our Country to savel'
i would that thy wife, thy dcArly y.loved Jane,
Could have kissed, once more, that manly brow;
Methinka 'twould have lesscned the piercing pain
That is almost breaking her young heart now.
I would that thou couldst have taken thy boy,
Thy bright-eyed Jennie, upon thy knce,
That thy heart might have thrilled with nncrmost joy
As he playfully prattied so sweetly to thee.
would that thy parents bowed down with grief,
Could have once more heard thee speak their nHmci
And methinks U would have been a sweet relief,
Could thy brothers and sisters have heard the same.
But thour gone dear brother and should not weep
Thy hardships ended, thy warfare is DONE go.
And we feel twou he wrong could hreak thy SLEEP,
To destroy the sweet peace which thy yaor hath won.

THE LOSS.

The official reports of the loss are
nearly all in. It will amount, ia killed,
wounded and missing, to nearly ten
Thousand. 0fthese large portion are
prisoners, or missing. The regiments
on Sunday, suffered more severely than
those who did the fighting on Monday.
The panic.stricken regiments are the
largest sufferers in killed, showing that
the soldier who stands squarely up to
the work is in less danger of being kill
ed than those who attempt to shirk
The rebel loss is fearful. Sc rapidly
were they pressed back on Monday, that
they were unable 10 carry with them
their dead, and only portion of their
wounded. The fact that they left the
body Of their commander on the field,
shows how hotly they were pressed by
our columns. We have large numbers
of their wounded, aud have buried two
thousand of their dead. What their
loss is, can only be conjectured from
the number left on the field, aud it must
be superior to ours.
The Highland weekly news. [volume] (Hillsborough [Hillsboro], Highland County, Ohio) 1853-1886, 1862-05-01

The pits are larger or smaller, accord
ing to the character of the fght in the
immediate locality; the rebel dead all
having been b3ried near where they
fell. Fully three -fourths of those kill
ed by ballets were shot in the head.
Our regiments generally buried their
own dead near to their encampmo nts,
aud many of them have been rudely
eHciOsed With limbs of the neighboring
trees.
