PETT1GREw's BRIGADE,
NEAR WASHINGTON, April ID.

The town of Washington is completely /
surrounded, and man and horse must be liv-
ing on very light ~ratiUlls. You have heard
that about ten days ago we sent in q flag OF |
truce, telling the Commandant to surrender, |
and that if he refused to surrender, he must 4
send all non-combatants out of toe town. 1
He refused both demands, saying he would |
keep the women and children there for his |
protection, and not one of. them has been al, |
lowed to go out. Some days ago one of our !
batteries opened on the gunboats lying near 4
the wharf, but several shells going wide, |
bursted in the town. In an hour you could ]
see little white flags on the top of almost ev- |
cry house, and there they fly now. They
were put up by the citizens. 1t will be a Sc
we're thing to burn the town, but yet it may
be necessary. If so, we will hang as high as
Haman the bastard who was base enough to
force poor women and little children to IN
dergo the horrors ola bombardment. The
| suffering on the part of the citizens must be

taking from them theif scanty supplies of
bread and meat.
We had quite a severe fight on Thursday,
in which we won plenty Of laurels. About
twelve o'clock we received information that
the enemy were marching in strong force to
the relief of Washington by way of Blounts

at three o'clock we're on the field. We had
been there but a few minutes when our Skin

opened on the advance line of the enemy.
Our men were lying in ambush and fred
coolly.a and with splendid aim at the dogs.
Then the wounded and dying sent up a wall
that could be heard a half mile. Our men fir.
ed two more volleys and retired this side Of the
bridge, according to orders. The Yankees
thought they had met and overcome their on
ly obstacle. They began to cheer, but our ar.
tillery now opened with perfect fury, and
their enthusiasm was somewhat d~atnpened.
They brought up their artiilery-ten pieces
as well as we can judge, and replied to ours
with vigor. They threw at US every kind O.

THE SOLDIERS FAMILY.
A True STORY.

Two years ago, the family of William Bryan was
prosperous and happy. Though possessed oflittle OF
this worlds goods, their united labor sufficed to graf
ify their simple wants and they always had something
TO spare to those less fortunate than themselves. They
did not hoard away their gains for a g rainy day. as
many others, but deposited them where neither
moth nor rust could corrupt nor where thieves could
not enter" Their " ~contented minds" were to them
"a continual feast" No wonder they realized in a
peculiar manner the goodness OF God, for they had
themselves learned

on the campaign last Summer will recog
nize the following extract from journal
As being literally true:-
CANss XII THE sroar
Our tents are pitched on tn brow Of hill,
Below the N issouri runs calm end still
Near by some burnt logs and holes In the earth
Tell place that once he Id a family hearth;
And one little gray e, scarcely four feet long,
Say children oncs TO this house did belong. ~
Here-hundrcds Of miles f,em the homo OF tho
white
The savage yet ruled n his native might
When restless man cam from East to West
Aud for many years on this spot found rest,
Aud here lost his boy scarcely ton years old
sprightly and active, and brave and bold
Not o moan from the Indian mot her
Told Of the grief exceeding any other
But without tear moan, on her husban DIS breast
She mourn ed, long with my child to rest.
nd she cut her long sses, her only pride,
With which he had pla ,ed as a babe by her side
Then gently she placed them within his hands
Aud . | him beneath where that hillock stands.
Many yearshave passed since they laid him there
Long years Of tr avel, adventure ard care
Bot the father, our guide, 10 ct his old homo,
And tho other 10 here, whore she lon acd to roam
On the lodges now here shst held hss tribe
She gszes with feelings no tong ne can desc ribe
Remembered oft tn ongh her life has been wild,
Since last she has seen the grave of her child
For this one spot of earth more han a ny other,
Ever speaks to the heart Of the Indian mother.
F.
Now the mother goes dressed with greatest care,
Once more to tho little grave to repair,
Where scattered in groups round the little mound
Are all OF her child's former llaymatcs found.
Invited are all in the name Of her son
Who still lives to her though his life is done;
Aud she brings each former comrade feast.
Inviting each friend fro M greatest to least,
my son though now dead, remembers you alt
\ nd here to this feast gives each one a call
He has gone to the land Of peace and rest,
And he now is happy among the hest
He " shcs you all to he happy like him
Or As birds over the river skim,
That feasting with him each heart may be glad
Remembering. yet thout thou .ht that 10 sad"
Then she passed slorg through the dusky group
While her proud mien WAS free from sor rows droop
Aud the feast went on with the whole soulcd glee
OF the young who re yet i1ehneu"ry free;
While she spoke Of the past in a cheerful to ne,
So that none should judge that her heart was lone
But in quiet twilight when fcasting was done,
She showed me a lock Of the hail Cf her son;
Though her look was proud and free from care,
Yet her eyes wore looks were almost despair.
No matter how far or where she y roam,
Still her heart will be memories homs.

They can also force more and more of our
people within their lines to take their hated
