On either side the stream aocursed
Long lines Of battle stood;

Al eve p. m. the scene was wild;
Cur dashing lines combined;
White on the dead the dying piled
IN CORY heaps behind.
Blood-saturated was the ground
With Longstreci's stubborn corps,
And every lIving thing around
Was drunk with human gore.
Tom waved the flag by peril tried
/ and gave thrilling cheer;
Bis dying brothers. ssde by side,
| Shed there the farewell tear.
Now reigned "a silence like the grave,
/ PoTteAtIou5 the storm.
| Then the battles sweeping wave
| From deadly vandal arins.
'Twas nearly night; the sunset glow
| Looked wonGrous tranquil then,
! But JoEgsfIest moved upon slow
| With thirty thousand men.
| Brave wilder swept the rebel van,
| And moved a thousand down;
| The smile uison his lips wan,
| And blended with troSn.
| Brave Miller near the center fought,
| And waved rally there
/ The revolution tame was caught
| Then cheering rent the air.
