PITTsBURGH LANDING. TENN,
Friday, April llth, '62.

About dusk on Friday continuous roll
of musketry, alternating with the thunder
GUS boom of Cannon, announced an attack
upon our right wing The long ROLL the
alarm cry of War, sounded through the
camp, giving intelligence that help was
needed, with the rapidity Of a Higlaud
watch fire. Throughout the two Divisions
thus summoned to the fray, the soldiery 10.
slantly fell into The line aud were speedily
on the double quick to the scene Of action.
OF our battery | need only say that al
though in the second ino Of encampments,
it was one of the first in the field. Fully
$4,000 men were soon on the spot. but only
TO find that the enemy bad been repulsed
by Sherman's brigade alone. allude to this
incident here to snow lack of eau tion exhib-
tied Two days subsequently,, when the foe were
permitted to approach in force within mile
of our lines before being engaged, and would
add that from the zeal aud enthusiasm then
displayed by the men of the l4lh Battery,
had not doubt of their yaor when the
time for its exhibition should come.
10 SO hours that time arrived, and nobly
did these gallant spirits fulfill the hopes
their zeal excited,

Boys, I know where there is a SeceSl

ing while we were qnlrtered on Chea

Ifyou'll promise to go along and help

Count me one, said Jed Wicks
Count me half dozen, if you want that
many, said Bill Reese.
But I'll tell yon, boys, its down at Rob

it's in the kitchen loft and still worse, he
has two ALFRED bloodhounds.

The auadrOOn.


A SLAYER 10 the broad lngoon,
Lay moored, with idle sail,
Waiting the rising of the moon,
And for the evening gale.
Under the shore his boat was tied,
And all her listless crew
Watched the gray alligator slide
Into the still bayou.
Odors of orange flowers and spice
Reach them fr" m time to time,
Like airs that breathe from Paradise
Upon a world Of crime.
The Planter under his roof of thatch,
Smoked thoughtfullly and slow
The Slaver's thumb was on the latch
He seemed in haste to go.
He said my ship at anchor rides
In yonder broad lagoon
/ only wait the evening tides,
Aud the rising of the moon"
Before them with her face upraised,
In timid attitude,
Like one half curious-half amazed,
A Quadroon maiden stood.
Her eyes were like falcons gray,
Der arms AND neck were bare
No garment she wore save kirtle gay,
And her own long, raven hair.
And on her lips there played a smile
As holy. meek and faint,
As lights in some cathedral aisle
The features of saint.
"The soil is barren--the farm is old"
The thoughtful Planter said
Then looked upon the Slaver's gold,
And then upon the maid.
His heart within him was at strife
With such accursed gains
For he knew whose passions gave her life
Whose blood rem in her veins.
But the voice OF Nature was too weak
He took the glittering gold
Then pale as death grew the maiden's chee
Her hands as icy cold.
The SLAYER led her from the door
He led her Ivy the hand,
To be his slave and paramour
In strange and distant land.
