Hovey pursued, always directing the foremost
force, and always convincing the men that vic
tory was sure. This stubborn fighting was con-
inusd for mile little more or less. Up "a
this time it had been fight between less than
400 Illinois and Wisconsin troops, and one small
steel gun belonging to the lst Indiana Cavalry,
and 1000 Texan Rangers, supported By . still
larger reserve under Gen. Rust But Just about
this time Lieut. Col Wood, of the lst Indiana
Cavalry, with about 200 men, and three more oil
their little steel guns, came gallopine with q
cheer into the fight. His little guns rang on,
louder than the rides or musketry-his men
made one gallant charge, and the enemy, already

RIcH SoENE IN THE WHEELING LEGISLATURE.
The Wheeling Legislature, having finished the
business before it, adjourned on Tuesday even
ing, Immediately previous to adjournment, the
following rather rich proceedings transpired :.
MIR. Radcliffe offered a resolution proposing to
ascertain if the Senate would accept the ten COM
by the House. He remarked that no proposition
from the House had ever gone to the Senate
without coming back amended. He desired. be-
fore the adjournment, to submit something which
would meet their appreciation. The Speaker
appointed Mr.. Radcliffe to communicate the pas
sage of the resolution to the Senate. Mr. R.
accordingly picked up the resolution, and, amidst
great laughter, proceeded to the Senate chamber.
He subsequently returned, and reported TO the
House that the Senate insisted that there were
thirteen commandments, and refused, therefore,
to accept the House resolution without amend
ment.

HOW A MAN FEELS ON THE BATTLE
FIELD.

Few persons are there who have not some Curl
osity about battle fields, and who does not desire
to know how men feel on the field when under
fire, especially before custom has made them feel
Indifferent or secure. Most Of those who were
at Donelson must have had this experience, as
the field was such that few could go to any part
Of it without mourning more or less risk. Hardly
any one could see the enemy or their guns, and
consequently the first intimation of their pre-
sence would be the falling of shell or the
rattling of shot balls in his immediate vi
cinity.
do mot suppose have much physical or moral
courage, but the sensations under hre, judging
from my experience, are different from what is
expected.
A reasoning man at first feels alarmed, and
his impulse is to run away and if he has no
reason to stand, he probably does run; but at
each exposure, he grows less timid, and after
hearing cnnnister and grape about his ears
dozen times, begins TO think he is not destined to
be hurt
He still feels rather uneasy, perhaps; but the
danger becomes fascinating, and, though he don't
wish to he hit, he likes to have narrow escapes,
and so Voluntarily places himself in position
where he can incur more risk.
After little while he begins to reason the
matter; reflects upon the doctrine of prcbabili-
ties and how much powder and lead is necessa-
rly wasted before q man is killed or wounded.

hear the whizzing OF bullets with to'erable
degree of equanimiiy, though he involuntarily

shells that 60 bowling around his immediate
neighborhood. In the afternoon he is quite
different creature from what he was in the
morning, and involuntary smiles to see a man
betray the same trepidatiOn which he himself
exhibited few hours before.
The more he is exposed to FIRE, the better he
can bear il and the timid being of to- day is
the hero of tomorrow and he who runs from
danger on the first battle field will run into it on
the next, and court the hazard he once so
dreaded.
Thus courage, as it is styled, is little more
with most men than custom; anil they learn to
despise what has often threatened without caus-
ing them harm. If wounded, they learn that
wounds are less painful to hear than they sup
posed, and then the doctrine of probabilities
teaches them once more they are less liable to be
wounded again. 10 the mental process goes on
until the Nerves become by degrees the subjects
of Will and he only fears who has not the will
to be brave.

The REBEL FLoYD ON TRoTTINa.-At the first
National Horse Show, held at Springfield, Ohio,
in October, 1853 Mr.. Floyd was one of the
speakers at the banquet which occurred at the

the following paragraph which we copy from the
published report of his speech, WAS made good

Tho Springfield Republican, IN itr &C
count Of war meetings IN the western
part Of Massachusetts, describes The fol-
lowing interesting and touching scene:
One OF the most touching, tender and
OVERLOOKING war meetings ofall hisregion
was held last Monday evening in West
Springfield, at the First Congregational
Church. The people over there are feel
ing deeply, for about forty Of their sons,
brothers, fathers, and husbands, belong
to the glorious Tenth aud Twenty seventh
Massachusetts Regiments, while others
are serving their country among com-
panies from New York and Connecticut.
AS previously announced, Rev. Roswell
Foster OF Chicopee Falls, made she prin-
cipal speech, exhorting, by historical
iallusions, the ladies to higher patriotism
in giving up their husbands, brothers, and
sons.
After him came words Of weight and
power from the clergy Of the place. All
did we'll, but the,crowning glory OF the
occasion was the simple, natural elo-
quence Of four heroic young men, all
heads Of families, and fathers Of chill
dren--men Of strength, stamina, and in
1uence, who backed their advice by that
most conclusive Of all arguments, con-
sistent action. Publicly they subscribed
Che enlistment roll, aud publicly pledged
their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor'
The flrst man to enroll himself that
evening was a householder and practical
farmer, one Of the selectnen Of The town,
and church member of twenty-three
years standing. He spoke feelingly and
p8!atediy, and In alluding to bis official
h0nors, his church connections, bis family
ties, his love Of home, and the loss of a
darling child, he swayed the auditory as
the storm cloud does the forest. Almost
every eye was suffused with tears, and
every heart stirred TO its inmost depth
The spectacle was as thrilling and sub
lime as unexpected The next day the
quota of twenty-six was nearly filled,
and yesterday morning this brave patri-
otto band left home amid the blessings
and prayers Of friends, for camp at Wor-
cester. Nearly all are men Of family,
some Of wealth and farms. They will
be missed at home, in the community, in
| the church and Sabbath school. They
are mostly sterling men, loyal every inch,
true as steel, and sure to make their mark
on the foe. IL will tie rare honor and
privilege TO serve in such company and
with such men, for rarely have men made
| greater sacrifices Of social ties, comforts
and property. Rarely have men gone e
the defence Of their country in its dark
est hour Of peril, sundering so many
cords of affection. We shall watch th'
movement Of these volunteers with inter.
est, for some of them are the best of mis-
sionaries. They will have an inauenc
abroad as they have had at home. Coz
bless these noble men and cover thei
heads in the day Of battle.

GeneraI uEorgan,n sltuntIon

A gentleman, who left Cumberland
Gap on the 10Th inst, has furnished the
Cincinnati Commercial the following
statement;
On the morning of Sunday, the 18th
inst. the enemy made a demonstration
in force in front Of our position. At the
same time a regiment of rebel cavalry
crossed the Cumberland Mountains at
Big Creek Gap, thirty miles west Of Cum
beFlAnd Gap, and attacked Capt. Martin,
in command of ninety of Mundy's Ken
lucky Cavalry, aud pursued him TO Will
Harrisburg. On Monday they continued
The pursuit and occupied Barboursyille.
Cant. Martin reached Cumberland Gap
ON Monday evening with part Of his
command. Only one was known TO have
been killed, but some were captured. On
Sunday morning eight regiments Of rebel
infantry crossed the mountains at Viii
aon's Gan, twenty miles west of Cumber-
land Gap, aud on Tuesday morning they
occupied Flat Lick, Kentucky. On Sun
day morning, when a portion of the 9th
East Tennessee regiment, under Colonel
Honk. was attacked at London, Colonel
Garrard's Bird Kentucky regiment to-
eether with two companies OF The 10th
indiana, was 81 Cumberland Ford and at
Barboursyille, with the exception Of two
companies, viz; Captains Merritts and
Lear's, which were on their way to Lon
don, guarding some prisoners. These
prisoners were sent back TO Barbours-
willie from laurel Bridge, six miles south
of London. These two companies were
attacked az Laurel Bridge by some OF
ScotCs cavalry. They repulsed the enc
my. This is the last that was heard OF
these two companies.
On the same day Gen. Morgan ordered
Col. Garrard To "double-qniciS" il bach
10 the Gap. Col G. did not obey Che
order, butmoying back slowly he brought
in safely eli the wagons from the road
numbering about one hundred and sew

evening with his own regiment with The
exception Of the two companies named
