How MAN FEELS IN BATTLE
There can be nothing more puszling
than the analysis of ones feelings on a
battlefield. You cannot describe them
satisfactorily to yourself and others
To march steadily up to the mouths Of
a hundred cannon, while they pour out
Ere and smoke and shot and shell in a
storm that mows the men like grass,
is horrible beyond descr;ption-sppal-
ing. It is absurd to say man can
do it without fear. During Hancock's s
charge at Fredericksburg, for a long
distance the slope was swept by such a
hurricane of death that we thought
every step would be our last, and ]
am willing to say. for one. that was
pretty badly scared. Whatever may
be said about "getting used to it." old
soldiers secretly dred battle equally
with new ones. But the most difficult
thing to stand up under is the suspense
while waiting. as we waited at Fred
ericksburg, drawn up in line Of battle
on the edge of the field, watching the
column file past us and disappear in a
cloud Of smoke, where horses and men
and colors go down in confusion, where
sll sounds are lost in the scresmi ng oI
shells. the cracking Of musketry, the
thunder Of artillery. and knowing that
our turn comes next, expecting each
moment the word Forward" Il
brings a strange kind of relief wher
"forward" comes. You move mechan-
icslly with the rest. Once fairly in
for it, your sensibilitiss are strangely
blunted-you care comparatively moth
ing about the sights that shocked you
at 6rst-men torn to pieces by cannon
shot become matter of course. Al
such time there come latent sus.
tenance from within us,sor above US,
which no man anticipates who has not
been in such place before. and which
most men pass through life without
knowing anything about.

NEWS FROM MEMPHIS AND BELOW,
MExPHIs. April 3.
News has been received from Steele's
Bayou up TO the s9th Of March. one
day later than that before received
Your correspondent. who was With the
Steele's Bayou expedition, has just ar
rived from Young's Point He de-
serlbes the passage as much more has-
sIdoas than the one up Yazoo Pass.-
Most OF the transports were more or
less injured. Some had their pilot
houses carried away, and their Chin
neys suffered from coming in contact
with the limbs projecting over the
banks Of Deer Greek. There was
plenty Of water. The correspondents
opinion is, that there will be but little
danger in the navigation OF that river
in the future, as most Of the obstruc-
tons to the upper works OF boats were
removed. The dams are now the only
obstacles in the way. With little hard
work they too can be removed. The
officers say most of the transports had
come out Of Steele's Bayou when your
correspondent wrote.
A reconnaissance Of the Notifications
Of Vicksburg. few days since. brought
to light large number OF Quaker
guns, said to be Of immense caliber.-
