all who have lost sons and relatives in my COM

got hold of this small sheet thin morning, and
take tiis way of communicating the sad intelll'
gence of those Of my compan, who have fallen,

Wehave been fighting for six days; at this wri.

my's left about O'Clock a. IN. We were cngag-
cd with five regiments of North Carolina and
Georgia troops under Gen, Garland for an hour
and half without any assistance when the l2tl
and 3Oth regiments came to our aid. Up to this
time onr loss was heavy. We then charged the
enemy three times, routing them ehFectually, our
friends on the right were acting nobly. In the
fight our company lost nearly as many as did the
balance of the regiment, Iwent into the fight
with forty one men and came out at night with
twenty two, losing nineteen men; three OF whom
were killed, fifteen wounded and one miss

DEMOCRATIC UNION MEETINGS 1.

While our gallant volunteers are endenvoring
to crush out the damnable hcrosy of Secession
by bullets, It is deemed absolutely necessary
that all Union loving citizens who are oppos.

out Mt the ballotbox. Secession and Abolition
have we'll nigh destroyed the fairest and best
government ever established by man; and in this
national emergency every Union man has a duty
to perform. Those who can should shoulder thci:
,nuskets and fight the traitors who have chosen to
take up arms against the governmet and all 9th
ers, without regard to former party prcjudces'
shoud unite together in a determined effort to
overthrow Abolitionism at the ballot box. There

WHAT MIGHT BE DONE.
BY CHARLES MCKAY.

What might be done, If men we're wise
What glorious dceds, my suffering brother
Would thcy unite
In love and right,
And cease their scorn Of one another I
Opprcssion's 5cart might bo imbued
With purest drops Of loving kindness,
And knowledge puro
From shore 10 shore
Light on the eyes of mental blindness.
All slavery, warfare, lies and wrong
All vico and crimo. might die together;
Aud wine and corn
To each man born
Be free as warmth in summer weather.
Tho meanest wretch that over trod.
The deepest sunk in guilt and sorrow,
Night stand erect
In so!f.respect,
Aud share the teoming world tomorrow
What might be dono This might be dono
Aud moro than this, my suffering brother
More than the tongue
Fer said or sung,
II men were wise and loved each other.
