BURLINGTON WEEKLY HAWK-EYE:

our combinations made in time to save the
line, but not minute to spare. Inc DlOw
was parried, but we staggered under it,
Woods division Of the 4th Corps had been
relieved from line of battle on Schofield' g
right in the forenoon by the division Of
Genl Stanley, and had rested but short
time when it was hurried over to the point
OF danger. The ground was very rough
and the bushes almost impenetrable, but
boldness was here again the safe policy,
and the division was soon engaged. The
ground on which it must fight was pecul-
iarly bad. Two parallel ridges hemmed
in its TANKS, and directly in front was an
other, on all Of which the rebt ls had guns
which delivered at once direct enfilading
and cross fire. Their volleys were quick
and terrible as cross lightning; grape, can
lister, shell and r0und-shot pouring in all
at once, and musket balls flying thick as
hail. Out of Woods division and Scrib-
ner's brigade, Of Johnson's division, which
was supporting on the left, four hundred
men fell in thirty minutes, when darkness
happily INTERVIEWED. Our lines had held
their own stubbornly in the face OF this ter
rible slaughter, but by ten in the evening
were drawn back so that they could be
supported by batteries which had mean
time been planted. Here lay 400 wounded
and the ambulances and stretchers were
three miles away, and the road between
was extremely difficult. Despite the best
endeavors Of Captain Touseley, Chief Of
the Ambulance Corps, who ordered up the
whole corps at once, nearly hundred
men lay on the field all night. Those who
could, dragged themselves YEARLY along, |
with the aid Of comrades, to the hospital.
This number Of wounded and killed were
found on the field, and others may have
been left in the retreat. Among the mis-
sing is Colonel Payne. lo4th Ohio, who is
either prisoner or killed and fallen into
hands of the enemy. Another painful
loss was that Of Captain Harry Stinson.-|
He is but twenty years of age, and had
lust been appointed Major by the General,
though not yet commissioned.
The General himself exposed his person
recklessly and came sufficiently near be-
ing one-legged, as he is already is one
armed veteran. A ragged piece of shell
confused his foot severely while he was ri
ding coolly outside the line, and another
piece slightly bruised his forehead. The
heaviest sufferer by the evening attack
was probably Hazen's brigade. Forming
the center of the attacking column, and
driving upon the foe in the form Of a
wedge, courted the enemy's fiercest fire,
and as it came, braced itself up stoutly
against it and stood.-COrrespondent Gin.

A HOSPITAL SCENE.-A correspondent
of the New York World thus affectingly
describes . scene in one Of the field hospi-
tails near SPottsylvania battle field after
the battle Of Sunday, May 6:
In one corner Of q hospital tent, a. in
many others that night, lay dying man
q Lieutenant in one Of the Massachusetts,
regiments engaged during the afternoon
Type Of q thousand officers, who like him,
have been thus stricken and have thus
died, his moments demanded the hush and
pause rendered by al feet and voices in
that tent. His face, turned away from the
battle field, looked toward the North. A
handsome. noble face it was, Swallowed BY
dark hair and saddened by the droop of q
dark m0ustache. His breast was bare; q
bandage was drawn across il, covering a
wound, the pain Of which dfsturbed him
no more. He lay quietly breathing, as if
asleep.
He was not asleep, however, for present.
ly, as two or three standing by began to
say among themselves that It would soon
be over, he put q pale hand that trembled
like an aspen down beneath his shirt upon
the other side, and drew forth what might
have been expected, dull-soiled velvet
ambrotype case, which he held few mo-
ments without attempting 10 open. One
who stood there felt instinctively that the
dying man wished but could not ask him
to st0op over where he lay. That one bent
to hear faint, broken whisper, beseeching
him to take the velvet case and find the
one who wore the face within it, and give
it back with the blessing of lover.
It would have been well, perhaps, Md
the one who thus accepted this trust un-
clasped the case before the hand from
which he took it had grown quite cold and
motionless. Else, having looked he might
have whispered into the dull ear of the dy-
ing Lieutenant promise Of surer and
speedier meeting with the girl he loved
than he could have had but for this days
dark fate. For it happened that he, the
living, knew that she, too, had died, and
awaited somewhere the coming Of what
had just departed.

GENERAL RICE TO HIS MoTHER.-The
following Is an extract from the last letter
written by General James C. Rice, just be-
fore the battles in the Virginia Wilderness,
in one Of which he lost his life, to his aged
mother, who resides in Worthington, Mas
sachusetts:
We are about to commence q campaign,
the greatest in magnitude, strength and
importance since the beginning Of the war.

arms; that this wicked rebellion may be
crushed, our Union preserved. and peace
and prosperity again be restored to our be.

confidence are in God alone, and know

try. My entire hope il in the cross Of my
Saviour. In this hope am always happy.

watches over you, also guards me. ] al
ways remember you, mother, in my
prayers, and know you never forget me in
yours. All that ! am, under God, owe to
you, my dear mother. Do y0u recollect
this passage in the Bible: .Thou shalt
keep therefore the statutes, that 1t may 60
well with thee, and thy children after thee"
How true this is in respect to your child
rem, mother. L hope you will read the BIZ
BILE and trust the promises to the last
There is no book like the Bible for comfort.
1t is guide to the steps Of the young-a
staff to the aged.
Well, my dear mother, good by. We are
going again to our duty, to bravely offer up
up our lives for that OF the country, and
Through God we shall do valiently."
With much love, and many prayers, that
whatever may betide US, we may meet in
heaven at last, am your affectionate son,
JAMES.

" harmless One gunner, however, by the
telling Of trees, at last discovered an invi-
ting target, and succeeded in throwing into
it q couple of shells, most Handsomely. A
house was discovered about two miles dis
tant, in the yard Of which the rebels had
planted battery, and whose tall red CHM
ney stood out among the trees too tempt
on it, and the trst shell went home with
out bursting, and left no indications except
its effects. These were sufficiently obvious.
Immediately q prodigiOus fiutter was visi-

Early in the afternoon long lines of dust
were seen about four miles away to the

trees, and about five o'clock we received q
conclusive and stunning explanation Of
their import. 1t was simply rapid con-
centration to strike ourextreme left, which
was still weak and unsteady, from its hav-
