The Horrors OF War.

Many persons, especially young men. are apt
10 think only Of the glories and magnifcence of
great armies and forget the stern realities aud
terrible horrors Of war The paintings Of great
battles show but little Of the fallen. but make
very prominent the spirit aud enthusiasm Of
the living and fighting soldiers. Ii is fortunate
for the cause Of truth aud reality that our Gov
ernmcnt had skillful photographers at work
with their cameras during our great war. The
splendid collection of more than 5000 photo
graphs Of different scenes of that terrible war
now owned by Comrade John C. Taylor, No. IL
Allen Place, Hartford, Conn, is the valuable
result Of the work Of these photographers
These views are more Of an argument against
war than anything that can be written or
spoken, as they represent only the stern, plain
reality with 40 eNaggeTatiOn. Here lies a poor
fellow who was struck by shell; one arm is
torn OIL and lies near the remnant Of his body /;
his cnlralls are torn out and scattered. Ii is
slckening 10 contemplate. Another view shows
a Confederate soldier killed at Petersburg: his
blanket twisted up and tied al the ends is slung
across bis shoulder in the manner SO many SOL
diers carried them, and his rifle lies near him
just as u Tell from his hands when he was hit
Evidently piece Of shell killed him, as his
head is partly gone and his brains are scattered
near him. 1t is these true pictures Of the real
horrors Of war which make them valuable. in
our opinion. We want no more wan, and if
everybody can see these pictures We will not be
likely 10 have any such awful scenes 10 enacted
on American soil very soon. So we commend
Comrade Taylor's plan for exhibiting these
scenes lie writes MS that he has had fine ex-
hibition cases with powerful lenses made 10
show these photographs 10 the best advantage
possible, and he wishes 10 employ some reliable
persons 10 exhibit them in various parts Of the
United States. IL seems TO be good chance
FOR paying business for such persons as are
fortunate enough 10 Get the ann0infnents
Comrade Taylor will send sample view and
full descriptive circulars for 36 cents In postage
stamps 50 that any one who feels inclined % un-
deTtake the business can sec what il is and can
fully understand il before deciding about il.

Generals trusted friend, and for an ambulance.
Being outside of our lines it was urgent that
he should be moved at once. With difficulty
litter-bearers were brought from the line near
by. the General placed upon the litter, and care
fully raised to the shoulder, /, myself, bearing
one corner. A moment after artillery from the
Federal side was opened upon US; great broad
sides Numbered over the woods; Kissing shells
searched the dark thickets through, and shrap-
nelsswept the road along which we moved. Two
or three steps farther, and the litter-bearer at
my side was struck and fell but, as the litter
turned, Major Watkins Leigh. of Hills staff,
happily caught it. But the fright of the men
was so great that we were obliged to lay the
litter and its burden down upon the road. As
the litterb bearers ran to the cover Of the trees,
/ threw myself by the Generals side, and held
him firmly to the ground as he attempted to
rise. Over US swept the rapid fire of shot and
shell-grape-sh striking fire upon the hinty
rock of the road all around as and sweeping
from their feet horses and men Of the artll-
lery just moved to the front. Soon the firing
veered to the other side of the road, and
sprang to my feet, assisted the General to rise,
passed my arm around him, and with the
wounded mans weight thrown heavily upon
me, we fOrsook the road. Entering the woods,
he sank TO the ground from exhaustion; but
the litter was soon brought, and again rallyIng
a few men, we esSayed to carry him farther,
when second bearer fell ut my side. This
time, with none TO assist, the litter eareened,
and the General fell to the ground with groan
of deep pain. Greatly alarmed, sprang to his
head, and lifting his head as stray beam Of
moonlight came through clouds and leaves. he
opened his eyes and YEARLY said, Never mind
me- Captain, never mi nd me- Raising him again
to his feet, he was accosted by Brighten. PEN
der: oh, General, hope you are not seriously
wounded. | will have to retire my troops to
reform them, they arc SO much broken by this
fire. But Jackson, rallying his strength, with
firm voice said, You must hold your ground,
Gen Fender; you must hold Jour ground sirn
and so uttered his last command on the field"
