How O Battle is Fought.

How o battle is fought2 With
tremendous volleys, the ranks stand
ing firm and steady as on dress pa
rade--with enthusiasm, with deafen-
cheers, with music, and finished by q
glorious bayonet charge? Nothing
OF the kind, Here are simply some
thousands of men, on either side, wi no
have been marched out this pleasant
day TO butcher each other. Modern
fire arms are horribly effective weap-
ons--a good Springfield musket will
kill at q thousand yards; and by the
time you have drawn these opposing
forces within two hundred yards of
each other, or about the distance
across o good sized wheat field, the
battle is resolved into simple prob
lem--which army can stand the most
killing or wounding without break
ing up? When that question is an
swered, you can tell which side will
be victorious. The business of the
officers is to hold the men to work
to compel them to load and fire until
80 many of the enemy are put hors
dn combat that he is forced to with
draw.
Take your regiment into battle as
orderly as you may, before it has
been under fire half an hour it will
become resolved into knots and
groups, from the drawing together
to fill the places of those stricken
down. and the survivors will be w.
ing or kneeling, forced down by the
irresistible instinct Of selfpreserva-
ton. The sights and sounds of bat
tie are well nigh ndescribable.-
Noise, tumult, danger, excitement,
all blend to make scene which |
think can have no parallel on the
hither side OF the internal regions
During bis first battle perhaps of
novelty of the thing may fill the re-
cruit with genuine enthusiasm and
put fear in the background but af-
ter that he will find the poetry of
the battle field somewhat overdone
in "Hohenlinden," and fighting itself
rather a prosac and dangerous butch
cry.
There is nothing less like a pa
geant, | verify believe, than a bat
tie. The arms are not polished and
new, for the dew of last nights biv-
ooac in the grass has furnished them;
very plain blouses have taken the
place of straight bodied, corsety
coats; belts are loosesed, or in the
fury of the fight are thrown aside
altogether; shoulder straps and
epaalets are discarded, out of whole
some regard for the enimies sharp
shooters; aad after the fight has
progressed an hour, you will find
those who are still fighting dirty,
grimy, and laboring to kill the enc
my with about as hard manual labor
as your wood sawyer employs on
your wood pile.

a Grand Picture.

Gustave Dore has almost COM
completed, in his studio at Paris. a
grand picture which it is claimed
WI, VIII convert the most captious critics.
Inc subject is the setting out of
Christ on his dolorous way to Calva-
ry, and when it is added that the
canvas measures some twenty feet by
thirty, one can realize the large
mould IN which the painter has cast
his grand imaginings. The figure of
Christ, draped in white, is naturally
the central point of the canvas, and
indeed the ef'ulgence that beams
from Godheadlpersonified fills the pic
ture with its Divine light. AS Jesus
descends the steps that lead from the
Judgment seat to the highway, the
Jewish figures that crowd tho cor
ners of the picture press forward to
gaze upon him, while the higher dig
nitaries in his immediate vicinity
fall back, blinded by the excessive
light that shines in all his figure. To
the right tho Roman soldiers. fine
stalwart fellows, whose every muscle
tells through their thin chain armor,
press back the surging crowds; and
on the left arepeople who are rushing
forward in anticipation of the coming
Of the king Of the Jews J" one man,
who is running toward the spectator,
looking as though he were rushing
out of the picture. Ia the back
ground are the public buildings of
Jerusalem, and the sky is dark
with tompestuous clouds that seem
to be hurrying together TO compass
the destruction of the city guilty of
the greatest crime in history. The
work in the picture is immense, but
1t ID the least interest of the compo-
sition for all the multiform types of
physiognomy, all the picturesque de-
tails OF costume, all the touches of
beauty, are subordinated to the one
grand, sublime expression of sorrow
tul pity that beams out of the divine
eyes Of Jesus Christ. 1t is by far
the largest canvas the artist has yet
filed.

THE REPUBLICAN, TICKET.

It has been said that the permanency
of republic materially depends upon
the intelligence of its citizens, and this is
true from the reason that the greater
the intelligence the more certainly will
the ballot be deposited on the side of
right and justice.
No highsounding name or title in a
free and intelligent republic wields the
sceptre of power, but the quiet little bal
lot, the true exponent of every man S
innate sense of right, directs the ship
OF State across the stormy sea, and
on and up to the haven of progressive
liberty and independence. l need not
undertake here, even if space would per-
NIT, to prove that the Republican party
is the liberal party of to day, or to extol
its principles, for its past record is already
written upon the fairest pages of our
country history. Suffice 1t to say, that
it forever blotted out of darkest stain
upon our nations escutcheon, to-wit ::
slavery, and crushed slavery's legitimate
offspring-the Shareholders rebellion
preserved the Union and established, in
fact, liberty and equality, and is now en-
gagged in an honest and economical ad-
mlnistration of the government, both
State and National, reducing and paying
of the public debt, and yet reducing tax
alton upon the people. --Ec.
