THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG


The road at Gettysburg was lined with
Yankee dead, and as they had been killed on
the lst the poor fellows had already begun
to be very offensive. We then returned to

to see the actual fighting, it was absolutely
necessary to go into the thick of the thing,
determined to make my way to Gen. Long
street. 1t was then about 2 80. After pass
ing General Lee and his staff | rode on
through the woods in the direction in which
l had left Longsteet. ! soon began to meet
many wounded men returning from the front /;
many of them asked in piteous tones the way
to a doctor or an ambulance, The further
got the greater became the number of the
wounded. Al last | came 70 perfect stream
of them hocking through the woods in num-
bers as great as the crowd in Oxford street in
the middle of The day. Some we're walking
along on crutehes composed OF two rifles,
others were supported by men less badly
wounded than themselves, and others were
carried on stretchers by the ambulance corps;
but in no case did see sound man helping
the wounded to the rear, unless he carried
the red badge Of the ambulance corps. They
were still under heavy fire; the shells were
continually bringing down great limbs of
trees, and carrying further destruction among
this melancholy procession. l saw all this in
much less time than it takes to write it, and
although astonished to meet such vast num-
bers of wounded, ] had not seen enough to
give me any idea of the real extent OF the
mischief. When got close lp to Gen. Long
street, saw one of his regiments advancing
through the woods in good order SO, think
ing | was just in time to see the attack, re-
marked to the general that IL wouldn't have
missed this for anything" Longstreet was
seated at the top of snake fence at the edge
of the woods, and looking perfectly calm and
unperturbed. He replied, laughing, 4" The
devil you wouldn't! l would like to have
missed it very much; we've attacked, and
been repulsed--look there - = Bldekioood's

ed. IL Is not necessary for the rose and the
lily that the one should blush so beautiful a

God has made a useful howor--a useful rose

Is a God Of taste, as much a. he is possessed

PRICE OF CoRN.-" Mixed Corn" has been
sold in our markets to-day dec 1877, at ST.
33 per bushel Ia price not before reached
within our recollection. When on the farm
at the west, we used to think our corn well
sold if we obtained 25 to 80 cents per bushel
Less than two years ago corn was burned as
fuel in some parts of Illinois, because there
was no market for it even at II cents bush
el. II is now quoted as high as 81 90 per
bushel in Chicago. These prices are in part
due to an Unprecedented speculation, prompt
ed by the abundance of money, and the pre-
MUM on gold +; but after allowing for this,
the value act upon corn is the result os an ex-
tensive failure of the crop in Indiana, Illinois,
and elsewhere In the States named, there
was little corn ripened sufficiently for seed
north of latitude 40 Q. This state of thngs
brings much perplexity aud real want to many
farmers-all feel it. Cattle and swine are
pushed forward to market half fed The soft
corn which was saved will not latten them
and it brings good price; so the animate
are sent to market, aud the corn is sold to tn,
eastern dealers and the packing houses o
the west are glutted with poor beef and pork

THE WooL MARKET.-The steady advance
of domestic fleece since shearlng time, and
during the most active season known to the
trade for many years, has awakened an unu-
sual interest in the article, affecting as 1t does
so large a number Of farmers. Al are desi-
rous Of being able to judge of future pros
poets. At the Colonial wool sales in Lon
don, in November, previous high prices were
not only maintained, but an advance was es-
tablished on most grades There will, there
fore. be no unusual tendency to this market
of foreign woods, unless exchange is much
more in favor of importers than at present.
This may happen through crest Union sue
cesses in the field, or Federal legislation that
will hinder speculation in the precious metals.
The stock of wool now in store is small, and
there is very little business doing, nor will
there be before the middle or last of the
month. Manufacturers aud buyers are gem
orally busy, as usual, in closing up the bnsi-
ness of the old year. Holders are generally
very strong. and able to carry their stocks, in
view Of the great ease in the money market.
There is. therefore. no prospect of a fall in
prices before business is again active, unless
there be a fall in gold and exchange, in which
case even the relative price of wool and gold
will doubtless be maintained. A9.
