Empire Battery at Fair oahs-col. Bailcy's Death.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In his account of the death of Colonel Bailey
at Fair Oaks, General Howard says: General
Bailey came into the redoubt when al support
had left and the cannoneers were escaping and
in attempting TO spike the guns was killed.
DO not wish TO rob that brave officer Of any
honor that belongs to him, for / remember him
with the greatest respect he was true friend
of the private soldier as many viii remember;
but neither do ! wish on the other hand, to
see injustice done the boys of that battery, of
which / was a member. My recollection of the
affair is this: Our horses being nearly all killed
and our support beginning to give way, Colonel
Bailey rode into the redoabt with the lnfen-
ton of ordering the guns spiked, (as it was
understood afterward, but before he could give
the command a musket ball went crashing
through his brain. was within two rods of
him when he fell from his horse, and, if my
memory is correct, his horse was shot in the
breast at the same time and scampered off
riderless. Colonel Bailey was carried of the
field by Horace Boyer Dan O'Brien, Jake Van
Patten and one other comrade of our battery,
whose name do not now remember, and Van
Patten was wounded while so engaged. If the
command had been given TO spike the guns
think j would have heard it. We must have
worked the guns fifteen or twenty minutes
after our colonel was shot / remember car
rying two shells Il think myself our supply
Of canister and spherical case being exhausted.
| have very distinct recollection of this fact,
for / was wounded by spent ball just rs was
retiring from the redoabt | could not tell
whether it was mimic ball or cannon ball,
int whatever it was I supposed it had passed
clean through me. We left our pieces only
when our support was driven back by the over
whelming odds against us on flank and front,
and saved one timber and few horses ] make
this statement in justice to the boys of the
Empire Battery-as fine an organization as
ever took the field.

BILL ARP ON LIFE PA RTNERs.-I sat
in my piazza, Illuminating over my scene,
and wondered that there were so many
happy matings as there seem to be. Part
ners for life ought to be congenial and
harmonious in so. many things. When
men make partnership in business they
can't get along we'll if they are unlike in
disposition, or in moral principle, or in
business ways and business habits. They
can dissolve and separate at pleasure and
try another man. A man and his wife
ought to be alike in almost everything

their counterparts-and so they do, in
some respects. A man with blue eyes
goes mighty nigh distracted over woman

whenever 1 look into them. But in men
tai qualities and emotional qualities and
tastes and habits and principles and the
like they ought to class together. Indeed
it is better for them to have observed that
the happiest unions, as general thing.
are those where the high contracting par
ties have known each other for a long
time and have assimulated from their
youth in thought and feeling.

A CHEERFUL FACE,-There is no great

A CHEERFUL FACE.-There is no great
er every day virtue than cheerfulness.-
This quality in man among men is like
sunshine to the day or gentle renewing
moisture to parched herbs. The light of
a cheerful face diffuses itself and commu-
nicates the happy spirit that inspires it,
The sourest temper must sweeten in the
atmospher of continuous good humor.-
AS we'll might fog and cloud and vapor
hope to cling to the sun lllumined land
scape as the "blues" and moroseness to
combat jovial speech and exhilarating
laughter. Be cheerful always. There is
no path but will be easier to travel, no
load but will be lighter, no shadow on
heart or brain but will lift sooner in the
presenc of determined cheerfulness. 1t
may at time seem difficult for the happiest
tempered to keep the countenance of peace
and content, but the difficulty will vanish
when we truly consider that sullen gloom
and passionate despair do nothing but
multiply thorns and thicken SORROWS. Ill
comes to us as providentially as good-and
is as good, if we rightly apply its lessons.
Why not, then, oheerfully accept the ill,
and thus blunt its apparent sting.

In a valley, centuries ago,
Grew little fern leaf. green aud slender,
Veining delicate and fibers tender.
Waving when the wind crept down so low.
Bushes tall, and grass and moss grew round it.
And playful sunbeams darted in and found 1t;
But no foot of man e'er came that way,
Earth was young and keeping holiday.
Useless Loste There came thoughtful man
Searching natures secrets far and deep;
From fssure in a rocky steep
He withdrew stone, DER which there ran.
Fairy pencillings, III quaint design.
Leakage, veining, flares clear and fine.
And the ferns life lay in every line;
And so think God hides some lives away.
Sweetly to surprise US the last day.
