Of hs works and offered battle which was at ac-
cepied.
The fight became fierce, and lasted until dark, the
enemy being forced back distance with great loss
leaving Of his killed and wounded in our hands
Tho two armies lay on their arms all night Wednes'
day and at daylight on Thursday the battle opened
again and ragged with the greatest fury on boih SIDES

forced back in the two days fight about two mics anu
half leaving heaps Of dying, killed and wouhoea Oh

We have heard various estimates made OF the numoer
slaughtered but at this moment it is useless to specn
late on the subject
Every one knows that II u have been terrible, and

On Friday morning at 8 o'clock the forces were mar
shOling for another conflict.

I'd 10 this time Gen. Burnsides Corps, numbering

The fact that we havs received no news OF yoster-

THE INDIANS.
nv CHARLES sPRAGrR.

Alas for them--their day is DER,
Their fires are ont from hill and shore:
No more for them the wild deer bounds,
The plough Is on their hunting gtounds
The pale mans axe rings through their woods,
their pleasant springs are dry;
Their children-look, by power oppressed,
Beyond the mountains Of the West,
Their children go-to die.
oh douby losti-- obivion's shn dows close
Around their tTiumphs and their woes
on other REALMS, whose suns have set,
Reflected radiance fingers yet
There sage and bard hive shed a light
That never shall 20 down IN night
There time crowned columns stand on high,
To tell Of them who cannot die;
Even we, who then were nothing, kneel
In homage there, and join earths general peal.
But the doomed Indian leaves behind no truce,
To save his own, or serve another race
with his irail breath his power has passed away,
His deeds, his thoughts are buried with his clay,
Nor lony pile, nor glowing page
shall link him tn future age.
Or give him with The past a rank
His neTaldry is but broken bow,
HIS history hut n tale Of wrong and woe,
His very name must be a blank,
Cold, with the beast he slew, he sleeps,
O'er HIM no flian spirits wgcpS;
No crowds throug round, 40 nuthem.notcs ascend,
70 bless his coming and embam his end
Even that hG lived, IL for his COnqueTors tongue,
By foes alone his death song must be sung
No chronicles but theirs shall
His muurutul doom to future times,
May these upon his virtues dwell,
And N his tate forget his criHles.

AN EXTRAORDINARY UAsE.-A SOL
dier in Shermrn's army, with throat cut
from ear to ear was thought TO be mortally
wounded, by council of surgeons but
the one under whose immediate care he
was, thought he was justified IN making
an experiment for the good of others, at
the same time having great hopes of say
ing the man. He first commenced his
task by cutting through where to two up
per ribs meet the sArnum, and through
this orifcs, for forty day he has boen'fed
five gallons of milk per week and some
times his appetite required five per day
He is fat and hearty, and the surgeon
thinks, in two weeks, he will have him
able and the inside of his throat so nearly
healed, as to allow him to swallow by the
natural passage. He al first introduced a
stomach pump, and thus fed his patient,
and after a lew hours would clear his
stomach in the same manner, thus produce
ing artificial digestion till it was no longer
necessary. A silver tube is now used to
feed him.-LOuiSUiUe Journal.

From the Richmond Wing, Nov. llth ]

From the Richmond Wing, Nov llth
Our information is next to positive that
Lincoln has been re. elected. Few have
doubted from The first but that would be
the result, and fewer still will regret it,
For ourselves, I'VE feel that the great cause
for which we are struggling has escaped
a real peril. The policy of coDclliaton,
of concession, and cajoery which Mo,
Clellan would have attempted was some
thing more 10 be dreaded than Lincoln s
armies and navies, There was great r, O.
son to apprehend that such policy would
deceive, demoralzs, and divide the South
With Lincoln there s no fear OF this our
people will continue to stand as one man
with him il is a uuited South against O
divided North. With Mcclellan it might
have been united North against divi
ded South, in which event all We have
been striving for in this four years strag
Gle would have been lost. But Lincoln il

and the spectre of reconstruction vanish Ell
