How GEN. McPHERseN WAS KILLED
GALLANT RESCUE OF HIS BoDY.-The Nash
vile Union learns these particulars of the
death Of Major General Mcpherson from
an officer recently arrived from the field:
General McPherson's division held the
left Of the line in the fighting before Allan.
ia. The Gen. had ridden from left to right
in experimenting the advance Of his skirm.
ish line, and was returning again to ths
right, when party of rebel bushwhackers,
in ambush, ran from their covert between
the 10Th and l7th corps, and crying out
There they come given hell" fired. A
couple Of staff officers and two orderlies
accompanied the General, all of whom es.
capped, except the General, who fell, and
expired almost Immediately, the ball hav

orderlies meeting Colonel Strong and Cap
tain Buell., both Of General McPherson's
staff. accompanied by few orderlies, re-
lated the circumstance, Colonel Strong or
dered charge. This handful Of brave anG
impetuous men, regardless of the foemer
in front. dashed galantly ahead and drove
off the thieving enemy, and while Captain

Colonel Strong, assisted by his orderlies

The N. Y. Journal Of Commerce ex-
presses the opinion that the war is not near
its end, and that it is as great delusion
now as it was during the first year to sup.
pose, as Mr.. Seward and others did, that
sixty days or six months would see peace
restored.
The war is not at an end. 1t is not near
the end. The future is dim. but sufficient
light falls on it to enable us to see with
some clearness that those who assure us of
the end as at hand are in deep error. The
call for five hundred thousand men to be
ready in the autum is abundant evidence
that the Administration itself sees no i'm
mediate CiUse Or tue contest UefuIe Vs.
Nor is it impossible to estimate with some
degree of truth the capacity for endurance
Of the rebel Confederacy. For the result
Of Mr.. Lincoln's policy has been to make
the war question Of endurance more than
a question of strength.
1t has been plainly enough for long
time the policy Of the rebels to protract the
struggle, on the theory, which they have
adopted, that the time will come when
Northern patience will be exhausted. If
they can he'd he'd their own through the pres
ent campaign, they seem to take it for
granted that they gain another year. Their
armies are manifestly strong. They have
large population growing up to the mill
tary age. Boys who were only fourteen
years when the war began, are carrying
muskets now at seventeen and eighteen
This increase of population is often left out
of account, especially when we hear men
declaring that their conscription has taken
the very last man.
With regard to the means Of war, the
last summer has established the fact that
they are well supplied with arms and muni-
tions Of the best quality, while they seem
to be in no want Of provision. Starvation
will break up an army sooner than defeat
in battle or pestilence. But they are not
starving That is plain now.
! Let it be considered as true, then, that
the rebellion is strong, that the half million
Of men called by Mr.. Lincoln are needed
that the next winter and springs neces-
sites will require an army as large as We
have ever had. 1t is better to keep this
plainly before the people, that they may
know what is to be done.

Of the day, old Blair proceeded to business,
and informed Gen. Mcclellan "that his ser.

may not have been the precise wording of
Blair's statements in every particular; but
it is the precise substance and purport Of
his statement. Gen. McClellan's reply was
just such as an indignant man Of his ability
would give to such a proposition. AS a
matter of course, he repudiated making any
bargains. and refused to write any such
letter; but it is said that he intimated that
he, as military officer, was under the or

ordered him to take the field he would have
to resign. Thus Blair was compelled to
return to Washington with q big flea in
his ear.

Lincoln on the Battle Field.


Lincoln On the Battle Field.
We take the following from the Essex
Statesman
We see that the papers are referring to
the fact that Lincoln ordered comic song
to be sung upon battle field. We have
known the facts about the transaction for
some time, but have RETAINED from speak
ing of them. As the newspapers are now
stating somc Of the facts We will give the
whole,
Soon after one of the most desperate ard
sanguinary battles, Mr.. Lincoln visited the
commanding general anG the army. While
on his visit the commanding general, with
his staff, took him over the field in the
carriage, and explained to him the plan of
the battle, and the particular places where
the fight was most fierce. AT one point
the commanding general said, "here on this
side Of the road, five hundred of our brave
fellows were killed, and just on the other
side of the road four hundred more were
slain, and right on the other side of the
wall five hundred rebels were destroyed.
We have buried them where they fell.''
81 declare" said the President, this is
getting gloomy. Let US drive away" After
driving Few reads, the President said
This makes feller feel gloomy. Jack"
(speaking to companion ''can't you give
us something to cheer US up? Give us a
song, and give us lively one" There
upon Jack struck up, as loud as he could
bawl, a comic negro song, which he con-
tinucd to sing while they were riding of
from the battle. ground, and till they ap'
preached a regiment drawn up, when the
commanding general said, "Mr Pr. sident
wouldn't it be well for your friend to cease
his song till We have passed this regiment
The poor fellows have lost moro than hal
their numbers. They are feeling very
badly, and l should be afraid Of the effec
it would have on them" The President
then asked his companion to stop his sing
ing till they got by that regiment.
We know that this story is incredible
that it is Impossible for a man who could b'
| elected President Of the United States coult
SO conduct himself over the fresh. mad
| graves Of the heroic dead. When the story
impossible, but the story is told on suci
authority that we knOao it is true. We tel
the story that the people may have SOM
idea Of four years more Of such rule
If any Republican holds up his hands il
horror, and says this story can't be true
VIC say We sympathize with him from tn
bottom of our soul the story can't be tru
of any man fit for any office of trust, O
even for decent society; but the story i
every whit true of Abraham Lincoln, in
credible and impossible as it may seem.
