The confidence of the army ins Gef,,-
witnessed in this field. Every soldier
religiously and solemnly believes that
the Lieutenant General means, as they
phrase it, to smash the rebellion" and
that he viii do it; and they tell with
the utmost gusto, of the novel method
he adopts to bring every man square
ly up to the spirit of his, own high
purpose. The night before the last
grand conflict the General went out
to the line of skirnlishers, and passing
slowly along, encouraged the men with
generous praise. "You have never
had fair chance, boys" he said, cat
these Johnny Rebs; ] mean that yer
shall have it now. You can whip
them; | am sure you can;" and ut that
the men chcered; and the story, flying
from camp to camp, sent every sol-
bier into the fight of Thursday with q
fsnth in their leader and a confidence
in themselves which made them per-
fectly irresistible. Such eharnes az
.i.vec Drayc men made were never
heard OF in history; such slaughter as
they inflicted on the enemy, crouching
in their rife-pits, even the veterans of
this royal-souled army of the Potomac,
never saw nor dreamed of. The sold
iers have entered fully into the spirit
and purpose of their commander. In
one Of the first conflicts last week, one
of our divisions broke and fell back in
disorder. General Grant, riding up
said to the men; 'sBoys you mby break
but you must fight in the end. / have
taken up the bridges in the rear; there
is no communication with Washington;
we must fight this thing outright here
This story has been told me by several
soldiers, all of whom exhibited the
most unqualified acquiescence in the
Generals tactics. Another thing the
men liked in General Grant is his un-
ostentation. "He is like one of our
Selves" they say; che avoids fuss and
show; even his staff is limited, and
composed of men like himself" 81
have moro than once" said an orderly
to me, while in the glow of CONVERSE
ton about the General, "seen his aids
get down from their horses to let woun-
ded men ride to the hospitals" In a
word, the spirit of the army is magnifi-'
cent; it is animated by a sublime de-
termination to succeed, whatever may
involve. One poor fellow, whose
wounds we cleansed and bound up this
morning, actually sobbed with vexation
because he could not at once return to,
the field and continue in the fight until
the end

A Patriotic Father.

Dea. Starks went down TO assist in
taking care OF the wounded at Fred
erecksburg, in behalf Of the Christian
Commission, hoping also to recover the
body Of his son, Maj Stark, of the
liOth New York. OF his son he says:
''iie was hit in the temple on Sunday,
the 9Th. He and the Colonel had just
dismomted from their horses and were
leading charge when they both got
their fatal wounds. My son died in
stantly and the Colonel lived about two
hours. They were buried that after
noon not far from each other, in an o.
pening in the Wilderness. Their
graves are properly marked. On the
first day of the battle, near Robertson's
Tavern, my son said to the Chaplain in
the brigades: 81 hope God will give
me grace to do my duty" They now
sleep beneath Virginia soil, and must
for time, as we cannot get to them
now. \ My son has fought his
last battle-his work on earth is done;
and although / had calculated that he
would be my stay and staff in my old
age, | freely give him up for my coun-
try. In my affection / have much to
comfort me. One man said: "Tell my
mother | died like n soldier" l think
my son died like a soldier and Chris
tian, beloved not only in his native
town, but in the army"

Anecaote OF Gen. Grant.

DRY at the point, Gen. Buel, thorough
soldier, began criticising in friendly
way the Tennessee river behind his
men.-"Where, if beaten, could you
have retreated, General?' asked Buel.
II didn't mean to be beaten" was
Grant S sententious reply. "But sup
pose you had b-yn 1ef-alou, ucsplte ali
your exertions?"-"Well, there were
the transports 20 carry the remains of my
command across the river.' ''But, Gen
eral," urged Buel ''your whole trans
ports could not contain over ten thous-
and men; and it would have been i'm
possible for them TO make more than
one trip in the face of the enemy"
We'll if had been beaten, said Gen.
Grant, pausing to light another cigar
as he spoke, Transportation for ten
thousand men would have been abun-
dant for what would have been left OF

data for tho appreciation OF it being,
that Grant had about iity thousand
