OF modern war were to be decided by me-

| the overbearing legions of Germany were
still to be seen in their dead faces. A few
had the look of meekness and resignation,
as ii death had rot come before visions of
peace; but the many had fixed fierceness
quite tiger-like. It was remarkable that
this wild animal aspect was not noticeable
| among the fallen Germans. Their atti-
tudes in death seldom expressed intensity
of action, while the French in very many
instances had evidently received their NOR
tai hurts when nerve and muscle was
strained with the excitement of some furi-
Gus endeavor.
SHATTERED VILLAGE.
The village of Gravelotte was filed with
the usual evidences of strife-broken
walls. shattered roofs, trampled gardens,
wounded men, bloody straw. A thunder
storm came mp, and we had the opportu-
nifty OF contrasting the rattling peals of
Heavens artillery with the fresh remem-
brance of the sound of the guns of the
French and Germans. 1 must give the ce-
lestial artillery credit for superiority in
sharpness of reports. but the war guns had
profound ugliness of sound, and a continu-
ity and persistency much more impressive
than occasional thunder claps.
THUNDER STORM.
The rain fell heavily for few moments,
dust sticky and to load down weary Pc
destrians with rapid accumulstions of
mud, which adhered to the feet like wet
snow. The chapel of the village was a
hospital filled with men too badly wound
ed for removal. The maugled French and
Prussians were huddled together on the
straw, and the weary surgeons were still
at work with them. Some, whose wounds
were dressed, lay tucked in their blankets
oir of tah hlnp tho nthorc
were suffering intensely-their CLASSY stare,
clenched teeth, and heavy breathing we're
evidence. ss
A PAINFUL SCENE.
young Prus5ian, a tall and gentleman
ly soldier, was near the door lying on his
face, and civilian, who seemed to have
a special interest in the case, was, with
trembling fingers, removing his clothing
to look at the wound. He found On the
white, round body of the young man,
near the spine, a bright red spot, and
looking no further, burst into tears.
THE WORK OF BURYINa.
One Of our English friends dismounted
to give me a rest in riding, which was a
most acceptable courtesy, and we present
ly passed field where large burial party
were at work. They had dug Il trench
about seven feet in width, wasting a very
few inches, and two or three feet in depth
(iberal measurement, and had gathered
the dead from the vicinity.
While some were digging, others were
picking up the dead. The way they do
that is, four men, using shovel-handles or
muskets, as may be convenient, as hand
spikes, put them under the shoulders and
knees of tho corpse, and carry ID DO tho
fitted fife by two men, one at tie Head ana the
other at the heels, and placed in the
trench, where, the face being covered by
some article of clothing leap or coat usu-
ally). the dirt is loosely shoveled on. Gen

away in this style in row, though where
The carnage has been extraordinary they

Peace prevails in North Carolina. The
Governor has officially proclaimed Con-
servative victory, is about to disband his
ragamuffin troops, and subsidies generally
from an armed rufian into mere partisan
pamphleteer. These are happy changes,
and pleasantly prefgure the good time
coming, and now not far of, when Radical
rulers shall cease to bear rule in the South
any more. Six weeks ago, when Republ!
can ascendancy was as yet unbroken, North
Carolina was one scene of brutal violence,
reproach to the civilization of the age,
and disgrace to the country. To-day
that ascendancy is over, and North Caro-
lima is as quiet as New York. The differ
ence is the same as that between Tennes-
see under Brownlow and under Senter.

HOW WE GET THE WAR NEWS.

The press dispatches from Europe to
New York during the last four weeks,
says the Journal Of the Telegraph,
numbered about 100000 words. New
York has been better posted on the
issues Of the war each day than London,
Paris, or Berlin. These dispatches
have almost wholly been sent by a single
cable, full one.third of the whole to a
single daily paper, and with marvellous
rspfdity and accuracy. Familiar as we
ara with tho work Of the telegraph, it
has been . marvel to as. To hundreds
Of thousands Of minds the whole process
is and has boon . deep enigma.
Here i man sitting in darkened
room at Hearts Content. The ocean
cable terminates here.
A fne wire attached thereto is made
to surround two small cores Of soft iron.
As the electtio wave, produced by
few pieces Of copper and zinc at Valcn-
tia, passos through tho wire, these cores
become magnetic enough to move the
slightest object.
A looking glass, half o. inoh in di-
ameter, is fixed on bar Of iron one
tenth Of an inch square and half an inch
long. On this tiny glass lamp is
made to glare 30 that its light is rofcct-
ed on : tablet on the wall. The
language of the cable is denoted by the
shifting of this reflected light from side
to side. Letter by lettor is thus cx-
pressed 10 this fitting idiom in utter
silence on che wall. Their is 20 record
made by tho machine except as the
patient watcher calls out to a comrade
the translated fashes as they como, and
which he records. 1t seems miracle
of patience. There is something Of awe
creeps over US as we see tho evidence
ofa human touch three thousand miles
away, swaying that line Of light. !,
BY suoh delicate process as this, and
after being repeated from line to line
five times before its ultimate copy is in
New York, have the late great battles
been recorded in our daily papers with
great particularly, and sent throughout
the Union. Nothing like it has ever
before been accomplished. The enter
prise Of tho New York Press--of a
single press in Now York--has oOlipsea

The Prussians help in victualing
the troops by a novel description
of food, initiated from no less dis
tant quarter than China. It con-
sists of the pease pudding, for cen
turtles employed in keeping body
and soul together among the Ce.
lestials; a cheap article that does
not deteriorate for a length of
time, and contains a large quantity
of nutritious matter in a small
compass. To make it even more
palatable the Germans have im-
proved upon the Chinese pattern
by mixing smoked meat chopped
up small with the peas. If boiled
it forms complete meal of joint
and vegetable; if eaten cold it is
equally good, and small quanti-
ty will last a man for a day.
