The Night BEFORE the Capture.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zetto writes the following description OF
the night OF terror which was used by the
rebels in evacuating New Madrid:
All day Thursday there had been indi-
cations ofan approaching storm, and short.
ly before midnight it burst upon US with
frightlul fury. think never saw light
ming more hcrce or the thunder more
sharp and apparently near. The whole
sky was one sheet Of lurid fire fame,
across which sharp tongues and spires OF
yet more vivid brightness dashed and
darted in every direction, while the earth
fairly tremblcd with repeated crashes o,
thunder, and the rain seemed 10 fall IN
solid masses of water. During all this
terrible commotion Of the elC ments, the
9th and 39tb Ohio, and the 10th ana 10Th
Illinois Regiments wero on duty guard
ing the batteries and riho-pits. Notwith-
standing that they had been under arms
since three o'clock the previous morning
and had lain all day in the trenches, ex-
posed 10 the terrible fire Of the enemy,
enduring a strain upon tho nervous sys-
tenn unappreciabie by one who has never
been under fire, man Of them finch
ed. Like statues they stood therc-
each wrapped in his blanket, motionless
as marble, and chiefly solicitous to keep
their muskcts and ammunition dry.
As thsy stood there, muffled in their
dark blankets, from which the rain was
dripping, alternately revealed and hidden
as the vivid flashes camo and went, they
scarcely seemed creatures Of flesh and
blood, and tho mind involuntarily went
back to some Of thoso old stories in the
Arabian Nights, in which whole armies
are suddenly turned to stone by the power
Of enchantment, and vague feeling of
wonderment came over US, whether after
all these stories might moi be true and the
phenomenon actually before US. ind |
doubt not that if any, even the braysst
rebel in tho enemy's entertainments, had
looked forth and beheld them standing
there SO firm and immovable, he might
have felt wholesome dread of meeting
on the battle field men who for an entire
dSy had so patiently endured the storm Of
their iron hail, and at night could so
coolly face the conflict Of h, ayen's ar,il-
ley.
We little thought then that while our
men were thus patiently enduring the
storm, TO guard themselves from sur
Prise, our frightened foes we're hurryibg
On board their vessels, TO flee away anu
he labor Of months aud thousands ofdol- |
ars Of property behind them. This dis
,oyery came later.
