present war will not omit to chronicle, among
other incidents, the following paragraph illus

an officer If the loss of life had been great from

in which the writer stated that after spending
the money, he discovered, to his utter horror,
that be had been making use of money obtained

THE UNSEEN BATTLE FIELD.


There is an unseen battle field
In every human breast,
Where two opposing forces meet,
And where they seldom rest.
That field is him from mortal sight,
'Tis only seen by one,
Who knows alone where victory lies
When each days fight is done.
One army clusters strong and fierce,
Their chief of demon forms
His brow is like the thunder cloud,
His voice the bursting storm.
His captains, Pride, and Lust, and Hate,
Whose troops watch night and day,
Swift to detect the weakest point,
And thursting for the fray.
Contending with this mighty force
Is but little band
Yet there, with an unquailing front,
Those warriars firmly stand.
Their leader is of God-like form,
OF countcnance serene;
And glowing on his naked breast
A simple cross Is seen.
His captains, Faith, and Hope, and Love,
Point TO that wondrous sign
And gazing on it, all receive
Strength from a source divine.
They feel it speaks glorious truth,
A truth as great as sure,
That to be yictors they must learn
To love, confde, endure.
That faith sublime, in widest strife,
Imparts a holy calm
For every deadly blow a shield,
For every wound balm.
And when they win that battle field,
Past toll is quite forgot;
The plain where carnage once had relgned,
Becomes hallowed spot.
The spot where flowers of JOY and peace
Spring from the fertile sod,
And breathe the perfume of their praise
On every breeze to God.

Pressing q Suit.

A gallant Massachusetts soldier, finding his
promotion getting ahead of his means of support
ing it, and wondering where the new clothes
were coming from with which to embellish his
new position, thought the matter over seriously
and came to very wise conclusion He thus
writes to his father;
"Of sudden thought There dad what

would come just as natural to him as possible.

AN OBEpIENr SoN.--A boy was tempted by
some of his companions to pluck some ripe cher.
ries from a tree his father had forbidden him to
touch.
"You need not be afraid said they, for
if your father should find out that you had taken
them, he is so kind he would not hurt you
1iThat is the very reason" replied the boy,
"why should not touch them. It's true my
father would not hurt me; yetny disobedience,
l know would hurt my father, and that would
be worse to me than anything else.'
Was not this an excellent reason?
Two thin shoes make one cold, two colds an
attack of bronchitis two attacks of bronchitis
one wooden over-coat.

passionate, the suspicious, and those who live
upon others means-are for ever unhappy.

CONFIRMATION OF THE DEATH OF Col. Null
LIGAN.-The remains Of Col. Mulligan, the
hero of Lexington, Missouri, and of many a
sharp and dangerous encounter in Western
Virginia, arrived at Cumberland, Maryland,
on last Friday. He fell at Winchester on the
25th ult. The Wheeling h1islli0sncer says Gen.
Kelly, in a dispatch to Governor Boreman,
pays the following handsome tribute to the
fallen soldier;
THE remains of the gallant Col. Mulligan

Sherman Wins Another
Victory.
The Rebels Attack Him and are Re.
pulsed, with a Loss OF 1900.

The Government is in receipt OF dispatches
from Gen. n.sherman's headquarters, giving an &C
count Of battle with Hoods army on wednes.
day last. Hoods situation at Atlanta is such
that he Is under an imperious necessity to drive
sherman's army away from Its present posi-
tion; the only alternative being his retreat
southwark, with Rosseau's bsttalions Of cav
airy at his heels.
Retreating is distasteful to Hood, under the
circumstances, because he superseded retreat
ing General for the purpose of changing the
practice of his army and keeping them up to
the fighting mark.
Accordingly Hood made fierce assault upon
sherman's lines last Wednesday, and was re-
pulsed with serious loss. Our army lost siI
hundred killed and wounded, and they per.
formed the dIsagreeablo task Of butying sir
hundred and sixty dead rebels left for sepulturs
within their lines. The entire rebel loss was
four thousand and upwards.
1t is quite probable that Hood will soon be
compelled to retreat. II he does not move
soon he will hardly be able to get his army
away at all.

From the New York Times, OF July sO.I
The Late Gen. Mcpherson.

1t has been stated that the distinguished
soldier, Gen. Mcpherson, who was killed during
the battle before Atlanta on Friday OF last
week, was in command of a corps under Gen.
Sherman. This is a mistake. When Grant
became Lieutenant Genetal, Sherman succeed
ed him to the command of tho "Military Di-
7ision Of the Mississippi" and Mcpherson ito
the comm and OF sherman's Army Of The TSnnes-
see. 1t embraced not less than three corps.
Sherman, in his recent operations, has had
under his immediate orders three armies-Mc-
Pherson's, called the "Army fthe Tennessee"
Thomas, formerly Buell's,) next under Rose
crsns, the "Army OF the 0hio;" schoaeld's, or
the "Army Of the Cumberland"
1t is somewhat remarkable that the great
contest before Atlanta should have fodnd three
classmates of West Point In command of
armies there, via: Mcpherson, Schoheld, and
tho rebel Hood. Mcpherson and schoheld
were room.nateS during the last year of their
cadet life. Mcpherson dnd Hood were tent
mates during their last cadet encahiptnent.
The gallant and noble Mcpherson, whose fame
as brilliant soldier is fixed, was also beloved
as a friend by oil who knew him intimately.
Mcpherson is thu third general of his class
| 1S53) who has been killed on the field of bat
tie. Terrill fell before him at Perryvilie; s'll
at Stone river. Bowen, the second in COM
mand at Vlcksburg, at Its surrender, was also
a classmate and particular friend OF McPher-
son, but died of modification soon after his
capture. The same class claims Gen. Sheridan,
the famous cavalry officer, and Gen. r. o. Ty-
Ter, who was highly distinguished, and lost a
foot either at Spottsylvania or the Wilderness.
Gen. W. 8. Smith, who attempted to Join sher-
man on his march to Selma, Is of the same
class. SO, also, is Gen. Tillson. II has given
three other Generals to JEFF. Davis, viz; 7. NJ.
Jones, II. Walker, and Ross.

About this time the colored division went for
