He had protected his delicate throat from the
night air-which is different thing from the
night car air-with his pocket handkerchief:
his elegant hat was crowded over his ears, and
his insipid face was as expressive as baked
apple by moonlight, while he soundly slept
and snored. We wondered if he would wake
up to the same fOllies and Alterations in the
morning, SO as to be consistent, or would he
not make mistake and get somebody's else

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial.
In FRONT OF KENEsAw MOUNTAIN. June %.
To-day we have had one of the briefest and
severest engagements that have occurred since
the Dallas affair, in which Wood and johnson
lost so heavily in fatal attack upon position
which was impregnable. During the morning.
and in fact up to o'clock in the afternoon,
quietude reigned along the whole line. I'm
mediately in front of the 4th A. G. was a 10. g
ridge on which the enemy had extensive torti-
cations upon which were mounted three bat
teries, the fire of which had been very trouble
some. Besides it was an important position
for us to possess. Gen. Thomas ordered Gen.
Howard to assault this ridge to-day, and, if
possible, to carry it.
The batteries of the corps were instructed to
open simultaneously upon the enemy, and can
ton of which time they were to cease firing,
and the line was to advance. At quarter be-
fore four P. NJ the batteries opened and then
so vigorous was the cannonadIng that for fit.
teen minutes all other noise was swallowed up
in the thunders that echoed through the sultry
air, while from every hill and knob along the
whole line, the volumes of smoke that arose
filled the valleys and shut out all opportuni-
ties of viewing the bloody carnage that SO soon
was to follow.
Ala o'clock the batteries quietted down, and
instantly the bugle sounded the advance. 1t
was taken up and repeated along the whole
line, and in less than two minutes the line was
in motion.
As they neared the rebel rife pits on the
slope of the hill behind which was posted
strong skirmish line, o destructive skirmish fire
was opened upon the enemy, who, sheltered
by the rife pits, suffered but little. On Stan-
leys frcnt over four hundred yards were the
enemy driven to these rifle pits, when regiment
after regiment reinforced our skirmishers-the
saith Indiana and details-until it had assumed
the proportions of a line of battle, when they
advanced on the double-quick, drove the enc
my from his pits, over some distance Ofground,
and into his main line of earthworks where
were massed heavy forces of the enemy. So
formidable were the rebel works, situate on the
crest of the hill, and SO numerous the guns that
were mounted, and poured raking fire into
our line, that to attempt an assault upon it
would be sheer madness. Consequently. STAN
lev held his position over 200 ) ards in advance
of the starting point. and fortified within sew
enty.five yards of the enemy's main works.
Wood g and Heaton's positions, before the line
was moved, was much nearer the rebel works

Travelling by Night.

Did you ever travel in the railroad cars by
night? Did you ever observe the difference.
as far as the travellers habits and looks 90, be-
train? Here is a good picture of the latter,
which we cut from contemporary
Humanity on a night train is q curious
study. It takes the starch out of people gene
rally and enables one to examine the bare fab
ric. In the first place, we may observe that
people taking train to ride any considerable
distance, almost invariably bestow their bodies
In the most uncomfortable position, having the
absurd idea that they can sit on their shoulder
blades with less fatigue than would result If
they should avail themselves of the natural ar.
rangement. On the night train this absurditv
Is intensified, and the positions assumed
throughout car form study for o painter.
We remember some things we saw recenllv in
night train, of which we took note for the
amusement of our readers. In the first Mace
the journey commenced in the afternoon hnt
as it was kept up good part of the night The
majority OF the passengers prepared themselves
tor sleep. AS the evening advanced the latest
ana sieepiest ieil into the arms of the drowsy
god Many slept audibly, drowning the clat-
ter of the train by their own nasal music.
here was one most ponderous fellow
with his head inclined almost to his
right shoulder, blowing off through his
lips as though every moment threatened stran-
gulation. By his side was gentleman engaged
III making thsse graceful mods which SO become
the drowsy. His original position was bolt
upright and with great effort he occasionally
recovered 1t, after describing one or two OF
those movements downward, which commence
with slight inclination of the head and end
with swOOp ind lurch of the whole 0Odys
Next beyond him sat a chap who had cha.
lenged our admiration at the commencement
of The journey on account of his digniied
stare his Swish eyeglasses, his long depend
ing whiskers, and his generally stunning ap-
pearauce. But glancng at lin, We observed
the romance had departed out OF him. He
was no longer to be admired, Iutrather pitied.

HKADouAR's 9TH RECT. MIN. Vol. INFANTRY,)
In CAMP NEAR Moscow, TENN,
June "a, 1864.
To the Editor Of the Pioneer:
At noon of the 22d we went aboard the car
and came out from Memphis thirty four miles
to camp. Upon our arrival we found quite
force in camp, and among them what is left OF
the Ninth the Tenth and few OF the Filth
who had not re-enlisted. The Tenth Regi-
ment is in the First Brigade, commanded by
Col. Mcmillan, the Ninth in the Second Bri-
gade, commanded by Col. Alex Wilkin, while
the Seventh is in the Third Brigade, CON-
handed by COL l. l. Hood, all of the First Di
vision, commanded by General Mower, and
Sixteenth Army Corps, General A. j. Smith in
command. Letters for the different regiment
should be addressed to - Regiment, - Bri-
gade LIST Division 10th Army Corps, Memphis
from which place they will be forwarded. A
force is gathering here, and an expedition un-
der A. J. Smith is to start out. We will all
90. and vet we do not know our destination,
but it is probably to open up the railroad from
Memphis to Corinth. re-occupy that place and
then destroy the road running from Corinth to
Mobile which is of great help to the rebels, and
there is danger of their pushing troops to the
rear of Sherman by this route. Forests force
and other troops amounting to between 5000
and 4. 600 are said to be in force betweenlCO
rinth and Guntown, and we may have some
warm work before we return; but we have a
fighting General to command and will ayenge
the defeat of that battle of Gen Sturgis if op-
portunity occurs. We have no tents and the
men have left knapsacks, shaving nothing to
carry but gun accoutrements and one blanket;
officers baggage is reduced in proportion, and
everything indicates campaign that will give
credit to all concerned.
The 9th suffered severely in the late fight,
and some 238 are still missing They look
very bad, and the majority have been left at
Memphis in Convalescent Camp. OF this you
will have heard before however.
We may not have opportunities for writing
again for some time, rs we leave in two or
three days, and when we start we shall keep
moving. Will keep you posted, however, if
anything of importance occurs.
Heartily yours, CAP.

FROM NEW ORLEANS.
Parole and Return Of 800 Wounded
Federal Prisoners.

Correspondence of the N Y. Tribune
NEW ORLEANS, June 81.
By a fag-Of-truce boat which arrived at the
mouth of the Red River on the 18th inst from
Grand Ecore, La, we have returned to our
lines some three hundred wounded men, who
reached this city safely on the evening of the
18th, having been paroled by the Confederate
authorities,
These men are the remainder of the five hum
bred who were left on the battle-felds of Pleas
ant Hill and Mansfield after the fights at those
places in April last. They have been divided
in about equal numbers between the hospitals
of the two places, and have buried in the
neighborhood of one hundred and sixty of the
original number since falling into the hands of
the Confederates. This large proportion of
deaths is owing, am told by our Surgeons, to
the extraordinary severity of the wounds
which our men sustained in those desperately
fought engagements. The proportion of fatal
cases among the wounded of the enemy were
unprecedently large, as 1 also learn, and
scarcely Interior to our own.
1t affords me pleasure to bear testimony to
the humane treatment which our men have
received from both the Confederate military
authorities with them during their captivity.
Such as have died have been buried In decent
collins In the cemeteries near those places. and
the respect of civilized life shown to their re-
mains.
Such of our men as were sufficiently recov-
cred were sent to Camp Ford, near TYLER.
Texas. where the Confederates have some i. 600
of our men confined in stockade. They
claim to have about 5000 of our men, all to.
gether. In Texas, and to have captured about
1900 from US during the late Red River expe-
dition, exclusive of what they took from Gen.
Steele.
Gen. Szymanski, the Confederate Commits.
sioner for the exchange of prisoners of the
Trans Mississippi Department, came down on
the flag of truce boat for the purpose of ne
gotiating general exchange Of prisoners in
this department. but do not learn as yet the
result of his mission.
