cheer OF victory was heard above the roar
oi sumter and the guns from Cummings
Point.
In this second assault bv Col Putnam,s
Drlgaae Ool' Turner, of Gen. Gilmore's
stan, stood at the side of Colonel Putnam
when he fell, and with his voice and sword
urged on the thinned ranks 10 the final
charge. But ii was too late. The Sd brig.
ade, Gen. stevenson's was not on hand
1t was madness for the I'd to iemain Ions
ger UNDERGO deadly fire. and the thought
OF snrrendering in a BODY TO the enemy
could not Tor moment be entertained
To fight their way back to the intrench,
ment was all that could be done, and in
this retreat many a poor fellow fell never
to rise again.
Without doubt many of our men fell
from our own fire. The darkness was so
intense, the roar of artillery so loud, the
flight of grape and canister shot so rapid
and destructive, that il was absolutely i'm,
possible to preserve order in the ranks of
individual companies, to say nothing of
the regiments.
More than halfthe time we were in the
fort the fight was simply hand to hand
one, as the woundsreceived by many clear
ly indicate, Some have sword thrustS,
some are hacked on the head. some are
stabbed with bayonets, and a few we're
knocked down with the tutt,end OF mus
kets, but recovered in time to get away
with swollen heads. There was terrible
fighting to get into the fort. and terrible
fighting TO get out Of it. The cowardly
stood no better chance for their lives than
the fearless, Even if they surrendered,
the shell of Sumter were thick!y falling
around them in the darkness, and as pris.
oners they could not be safe, until victory,
decisive and unquestioned, rested with
one or the other belligerept.
Closing Scenes.
The battle is over; it is midnight; the
ocean beach is crowded with the dead, the
dying and the wounded. II is with diff =
Guilty you can urge your horse through to
Lighthouse Inlet. Faint lights are glim-
mering III the sand holes and rifle pits to
right as you pass down to the beach. In
these holes many a poor wounded and
bleeding soldier has laid down TO his last
sleep. Friends are bending over them to
stanch thor wounds, or bind up their
shattered limbs, but the deathly glare
from sunken eyes tells that their kind
services are all in vain.

THE COTTAGE DOOR.

How sweet the rest that labor yields
The humble and the psor,
Where sits the patriarch Of the fields
Before his cottage door
The lark is singing in the sky,
The swallows in the caves,
And love is beRming in each eye
Beneath the summer leaves
The air amid his fragrant bowers
Supplies unpurchased health,
And hearts are bounding mid the flowers,
Mora dear to him than wealth
.Peace, like tho blessed sun light, plays
Around his humble cot,
And happy nights and cheerful days
Divide his lowly lot
And when the village Sabbath bell
Rings out upon the gale,
The father bows his head to tell
The music of its tale
A fresher verdure seems to fill
The fair and dowy sod,
And every infant tongue is still
To hear the word Of God.
Oh, happy hearts to him who stills
The ravens when they cry,
And makes the lily meath the hills
So glorious to the eye
The trusting patriarch prays to bless
His laboTs with increase;
Such "ways are the ways Of pleasantness,
And all such paths are peace y

SEIZURE OF JEFF. DAVIS PRIVATE LIBRA"
RY.-A correspondent of the New York
Herald writes from near jackson, Miss,
July u, as follows:
yesterday a company of cavalry escors
ting a foraging train learned from negro
the whereabouts Of jeff. Dayis's library.
They proceeded to the house, and there
found thousands Of volumes of books, and
several bushels of private and political
papers written by traitors North and trai4
tors South. Some of these papers we're
brought into camp, and served as novel
literature for our officers and men.
in addition to these, several valuable
gold>headed walking canes were found,
one of them presented 10 Davis by Franks
lin Pierce on another one was the inO
scription, "From Soldier to Soldiers
Friend" In many Of the letters the sub
iect of secession was warmly discussed
Some Of these letters date back as far as
1862. Many of the more prominent wria
ters accept the separation of the North
and the South as foregone conclusion,
but only disagree as to how and when it
should lie done. Davis is alluded to as
the political Moses in this measure, and
the illusions to him would seem as if he
was looked upon in the light of demi"
god"
