Napoleon will live forever in the minds
of future generations as brave and
great soldier, having his name associated
Individually with the bridge of Lodi.
General Burnside will be regarded as a
very small man, in military point Of
view.
As for the results of the battle. We
have never before heard of these Is
guns and SO stands of colors, captured
at Antietam and South Mountain.
Doubtless there were 5000 stands of
small arms left on the field by the killed
and rounded, Gen. Lees forces not
needing them, as on the 18th of Sep
TENDER, Stonewall Jackson captured
Harpers Ferry with 10 pieces Of artille-
nv, $4,000 of small arms, 200 wagons,
and alarge amount of ammunition.
The brilliant correspondent of the n.
Y. Tribune, writing from the field, on
the evening of the 18th after declaring
that it was a ''drawn battle, abiding to
the withdrawal of Gen Lee across the
Potomac, after waiting the whole OF
next day for renewal of the contest,
says = :.
"He leaves us the debris Of his late
camp, too disabled pieces Of artillery, q
few hundred Of his stragglers. perhaps
two thousand of his wounded, and as
many more of his unburied dead. Not
sound field-piece, caisson, ambulance
or wagon; not tent, box OF stores or a
pound of ammunition. lie takes wit
him the supplies gathered in Mar lid
and the rich spoils of Harper's Ferry.

dustry and enterprise are sure to be re
war1ed most anywhere.
The Ne,ior of the press in the lower
Valley, H. n. Gallaher, Esq, has gone
on another grand saving around The
circle. He seems to be in better luck
than his oonfreres of the Register and
Spirit. Let us hope that he will es-

what he saw and heard aud give them
to the readers of the Free Press in his

A hint for the Grand Army. AT
Mobile the other day-Decoration Day
the soldier friends OF the Northern
dead were holding ceremonies over their
graves. During the services, All exqui-
Site wreath of blue and gray flowers
were sent to the officer in charge, with
this simple comment: "The Mobile
Cadets of the Confederate Army honor
the memory of those who, their enemies
in war, were men brave enough to do
their duty" Then the leader of the
Federal decoration said felicitously;
ut is graceful offering of peace and
good will. and ! profounly embrace the
opportunity for the speechless dead
around us, and in behalf of their suryiv-
ing comrades, to grasp the hand that
brought it, in like token of our good
will and friendship. 1t is the olive
branch carried on an errand of peace.
Let it be accepted in suitable spirit
Let the gallant cadets who hear this
receive our homage for their daring.
Let their fallen comrades sleepthe sweet
sleep of the heroic. Though our enc
mics in war;" let the manhood and cour-
age which honestly led them to defend
a cause they believed just, be approprl-
ately remembered and honored. Fl
nally, may this happy, touching,delicate
and peaceful episode in our ceremonies
mark an era of better and kinder feeling
among us and Indicate the day and Oc-
casion when We mutually agreed that
the passions and animosities born of the
war should be consigned to the cham
bers of forgetfulness.
Let the Grand Army take q lesson
from this episode.
