The Unknown Dead Soldiers.

EXPERIENCES OF DELEGAIE OF THE CHRIS
TIAN COMMISSION.
Belle Plain, the late base of supplies for
Potomac army, will always retain a melan-
choly interest to those WHOM connection with
the Christian commission, have labored there.
On the side of hill opposite our tent, the
uuderbrush was cleared away, and soon quite
a number of little mounds told for what pur.
poses it had been appropriated. Here was
the wild spot which was used as graveyard.
This served as a cemetery in which to inter
the bodies of the brave boys who died in the
ambuIances, or in the hospital tents. Many
were the noble forms we laid to rest in this
secluded spot. A small unplaned board,
with, IN most instances, the name, regiment
and date in scribed upon it, in simple pencil
ling, was all the tombstone that marked
these soldiers graves. But sad feelings
arose N the mind when We noticed that some
Of these rude tablets had no inscription upon
them. 4 few We had laid there, of whom
no name or trace could be discovered. Sent
from hcme with mothers anxious love and
fathers earnest counsel, all unknown, We
were called TO bury them. At their grave
stood no weep ng friend over their remains
no Kind hand planted flowers, but wrapped
in soldiers blanket, the cold earth was
their covering. We sought for some relic
or t!dings, which We might seud to anxious
friends, but alas in some cases none could
be discovered. These, with thousands Of
others, are Gf the number whose fate and
feelings can never be divulged. Their names
are not on the honorable roll of killed or
wounded. They have persisted, where and
vhen-no man can tell. We buried one
such, Who tried 10 speak his name, but death
anticipated the last effort Of the dying soldier
10 insure leco gnition and remembrance.
Yet these unidentified graves are the most
eloquent witnesses TO a generous and just
patriotism. At these mounds the thought
tul VII, stop to estimate the self sacrifice and
devotion 10 country, which prompted them
10 brave such perils. No more mournful
DUTY were our delegates summoned to ror-
form, than 20 .ay away in the solitary grave
these unknown patriots. We fain would
have written home Of their patient sutFerings
ard soldi-rlv bearing, adding, too, lock of
tie hair others had once so fondiy smoothed
but stern death robbed US of this sacred
privilege. There is inspiration in death on
the battle field, amid the shock OF arms
there is solace in tenderl bearing to some
chosen spot the remains Of those We have
loved and lost but what sadder or more
touching to read those glorious words, 81
am the resurrection and the life," over one,
of whose name AMI heart you are profound
ly igr GRANT! To die all alone in the dark
close cuItained ambulance, or in the unfur-
nished fitldhospital, is of all deaths most
drear.
Yet many are those who thus are called
away. In Fredericksburg and Belle Plain
are many such patriots graves. Relentless
war, thought We, as We buried our last un-
recognized one in the now deserted Belle
Plain. Speak kindly and pray tenderly for

Torpedo Explosion near Newbern, n. c.
FORTY KILLED AND TWENTY OR THIRTY
WOUNDED.

\ correspondent o. tie New York Herald,
writing from Bachelors Greek, near Newberu,
\. C., May 9th, gives an account of the ac-
cidehtal explosion OF four torpedoes there,
by which .oris negroes aud solder. were in
stantly killed, anu twen,y or thirty wounded
or mangled in trishtful manner. There
were IL torpedOes Oh train, from Newbern,
intended to complete tie blockade of the
Neuse river towards Kingston, as a protec-
ton against the reoel ram above. -Four had
been taken from The cars and placed on the
platform, when sa accidental blow exploded
one Of them, and the conclusion eI lojed
The other thee. Sol4iers whose gallan,ry
has been displayed on battle fields, and
whose eagerness 10 hear the news from their
comrades in Virginia, had brought them clus-
tering round The station, were hurled man
gled and torn into eternity in moments
time. Heads, bodies and limbs were scatter.
ed for quarter Of a mile around, and in
many instances If was found impossible to
recognize the remains Of the unfortunate
victims. The signal tower and comnissiary
building, twenty feet by eighty feet, built of
logs, 1ere thrown into the ai- distance of
eight hundred feet, and strewed the country
for great distance around with the trag-
ments.
The soldiers killed and wounded belonged
to the 1924 and l5Sih New York aud the
18th New York cavalry. There were from
20 to % negroes killed and wounded.

manders, kept his guns at work on our re-
firing foe, so long as they could be brought
to bear, till the Sassacus was carried by her
disabled engine. slowly, gracefully and def

Thus ended the single handed encounter
between the Sassacus, delicate river steam
er, and one of the most formidable iron-clads
that the enemy have as yet put aaoat."

VANDALISM OF THE YANKEES.


The Examiner is also exercised by the de-
vastation committed by the Yankee army.
1t pretends that in Georgia our troops burn
all the mills, factories and houses, and steal
everything they can carry off. The EAami-
ner sees in this vandalism the evidence that
the Yankees have lost all hope of subjuga-
ting thu South, and are bent on doing all
the mischief they can in this final campaign.
For all which the Examiner finds consolation
thus:
at is sad enough to have our people
burned out and pillaged, our women bullied
and insulted; but it is doubly huniliatins TO
suffer such evils at the hands of people We
have always despised. 1t does indeed cost
US heavily to rid ourselves Of all connection
with the Yankee nation bnt then this nd
dance is worth the cost. And perhaps We
should never have set the right value upon
the independence We fight for if it had not
cost US SO dear. We might never have been
SO fully and deeply conscious Of the great re-
cessity which was upon US, for own cur honor
and vu, vhilLIrn's well b-;u,, TO .ui OH that
abandoned nation from our Society, if it had
not been permitted to develop and display,
at so many points and for SO long time, all
the dark depths of its hateful character, all
its bastard cruelty and mean thievery, and
unparalleled fertility of fasehood. Now. We
know from what rotton carcass We have cut
ourselves loose and to escape its pollution
no price is too great. Rather than submit
to that foul embrace again, We would bid
higher and still higher, until nothing were
left to the few survivors of us but bare lite.
On the whole we can well afford TO make the
rogues welcome to all the profit the! have
got out of their invasion, especially as with
the last day of their campaign our cost ends
and theirs begins. Nations having no fu-
ture state, always expiate their crimes in this
world : and no nation ever yet ran up SO
long an account of crime, or so amply earn
ed hell upon earth; there shall be waiing
and gnashing Of teeth"

OPINIONS ABOUT GRANTS CAMPAIGN.

OPINIONS ABOUT GRANTS CAMPAIGN.
The Richmond Examiner of the 2Sth ult.
discusses Gen. Grants campaign with well
feigned contempt, and pronounces ii failure
in plan and defeat in fact up to that time.
1t reaches this conclusion:
"Unable to remove the obstacle on the
threshold Of his proposed campaign, nothing
was left but to abandon it and make his way
down the valley of the Rappahannock to the
head waters of the York-a monsrous cir
cult to reach point where he might have
landed on the first of May, had not his head
been added by his victories over Pemberton
and Bragg. Once, it is true, he turned aside
to Hanover Junction, but found only rep
etition Of Spottsy ylvania Court House in
readiness there. Now, We suppose, We may
have another decisive battle at Cold Harbor,
unless Gen. Grant has become so much en-
amored with his left flank that he will con-
tinue it from the York to the James, and
forms Junction with Butler. If he does
so, we may have long summer day. Per-
haps he will dig parallels, and come to the
city with the zig-zag. Perhaps he thinks
himself back at Vicksburg. 1t is true, We
believe, that the officer who surrendered
Vicksburg has lately been placed, with a
modest title, in high command at Richmond;
it is also true that the fourth of July is not
far of; but Lee and Beauregard are close at
hand, and Richmond will never be circumval-
lated"

RECRUITING FROM The REBELs-RArHrR HARD UP.


The following bill has passed the Yankee House of
Representatives:
Be Il enacted de, That any persons resident intLe
States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia Florida Alabama, Mississippi, Lousiana Tex
as or Arkansas, Who may voluntarily enlist in the mill
tary service of the United States for the term of three
years or during the war, shall be entitled 10 the beue-
fits and privileges of existing laws, and such persc ms
shsll be mustered into the regiments, or other oTgsni
Lations OF Whatsoever State they may elect; in tt
case of colored troops shall be assigned provi
ded by law Aud the States, subdivisions of States,
procuring such enstmen.s, shall receive credit for
such persons in accordance with the laws in other
Provided That such adjustments are authorized in
any State under tho provisions Of this act SHALL only
continue unit such State shall have been made subject
10 call for troops. And provided further That no
enlistment shs be made Of any soldier either in or cut
of any State except those enumerated heren unless
full credit il given to the State to which the enlisted
soldier belongs.
The New York Tribune commenting on the BIZ, says
The essence Of the plan is that the recruiting sha be
done by States and not by the United States. Each
loya State under this syslem, has direct interest in
obtaining The largest possible number Of from the
revoed States and the spur OF competition, added to
the desire of each State to reserve its own citizens, will
insure tee rapid adoption and complete development Of
the system TIE result of course, will be TO fill our
armies more quickly and surely than BY any other ex-
pedient that can be adopted.
Now We need troops. We are on the eve of great
campaign whereof the issue ia go momentous tina; it s
,daess to neglect any reasonable means of success
We have powerful armies; strong enough, probably,
to DO The work before them thoroughly not siror
enough to be de Gated and then do Il. Yet suppase
they are defeated does any loyal consent that
Their Forts shall be r,l qaisheds II they not to
be, those armies must be supplied with reserves, and
for that purpose draft has been ordered and viii be
made in fortnight IL is too much to say that II this
bill had been reasonably acted on the dAit might have
been postponed. The loyal Statee would have flIod
their lotss from the colored and other loyal citz rs
of States who's, existing military organs atoms are en-
the Rebel side. Pass this bill at once a1d il is 81 II
possible to gather troops u1der it in season to be :
