lutte, his left arm in sling, and his noble
countenance still pale from the wound re-
ceived at Gettysburg. Every tongue was
ready to rend the air with shouts-for
Hoods men love their gallant leader. But
he waved bis hand for silence, lest their
! cheers should attract the enemy's artillery,
and said; as only that good hearted General
would say, Boys, l am glad to see you
You must whip this battle here" There was
something awfully beautiful and soemnly
prophetic of the issue Of the day.. in the
murmured VOW, rot loud but Deep that
ran along the line, Well do it, General.,-
They greeted him with the waving OF their
hats in the air, and when shortly after tn ey
were ordered to advance, they did so with
the wild shouts nd impetuosity character
istic of Southern blood; aud the Yankees of
Rosecrans' army will long rem EN- Der and as
long lament the day they first met Hoods
division on the CORY banks Of the Chicka.-
manga. 'They conquer, but their leader
fell;' and when it was told General Hood is
wounded the writer saw the eyes of many
battle-scarred veteran wet with tears
Since the death of Stonewall Jackson, the
loss of no man has been so deeply deplored
as that OF Major General John B. Hood -
He is regarded by the soldiers as the second
Stouewall Jackson of our army now God
grant that the hero may still live to fight
and win his country's battles.
The PRosPEcTs FOR CoAL.-We have en-
deavored to furnish our readers with the
m ost reliable information in our reach la
tive to the supply of coal for immedi late use
A late estimate as to the amount of coal in
barges at Pttsburg showed 1000, 900 bush
els. The Evening Chronicle of that city.
Of late date, states the estimate at too low
figure by one-ba,f, sand that there is ready
for shipment over 100000 bushels. 1t
gives the details as follows:
In the Youghiogheny there are 100000
bushels. 10 Pool No. 4. in thp Mononga
hela, there are eight barges, containingf at
rough estimate, 10000 bushels each; eigh-
teen boats containing 10000 each, and fe
teen containing 5000 each. In Pool No.
there are sixty-four barges with 10000
bushels each; thirty one boats with 10000
each, and thirty-four with 5000 each. In
Pool No. 2 there are eighty barges with 10
600 bushels each; eighty one boats with 20
600, and eighty-seven with 5000 each. In
Pool No. there are eighty-one barges with
10000 bushels each; sixty boats with 90
600 each, and forty eight with 5 600 each.
Total in barges and boats in the different
pools 100000 bushel Below Pool NO.
10000 bushels, with that in the Youghio-
gheny and different pools, the enormous ag
gregate of 6, 65OOOO bushels.
Relative to starting this immense fleet
the chronicle states that III requires a stage
of eight feet for barges, while the heavier
class of coal boats require from 10 to II
feet. Should the rise come from the Allie
gheny, only the coal in the immediate vi
entity Of the city will be got out. and this
is but very small portion of the whole;
while, should it extend to both rivers even,
the length of time required to get the bar
ges through the locks. and the absence of
sufficient number of steam-tugs to take
them to their destination. renders it certain
that, unless the freshet lasts for several DAYS
but small quantity will get out. The fact,
then, that we have so much coal lying here
does not, even bad we rise to morrow,
promise that relief to our suffering friends
below which some, who have not weighed
he matter carefully, have been led to antic-
pate.
In regard to this we can say that our au-
umnal rises in the Ohio are generally extern
led over several weeks; and, with this pre-
'edent before US, we may hope FOR fair .
upply at our landings, based upon the above .
lgures.
