Returned.
She kissed her little hand to me,
Then blushed and quickly fled;
A crimson rose bush caught her foot
And roses were her bed.
Ihastened after, aid to give,
And soothe the pain she had;
kissed the wounds the thorns had made
Not on her hand-I add.
She pouted some and looked quite mad,
Then rising from her bed,
And shaking out her truant curls,
"You think you're smart!' she said.

THE OTHER SIDE.

We held our fire until the enem y
was within seventy-five yards of US,
when the crack of the pistol rang in
our ears, and we nervously pulled the
lanyard. Every man that had a gun
fired at once, and as soon as the smoke
rose from our guns We eagerly looked
to see the result, but could not See a
man in front Of us except those that
were lying in the road, dead or with
ing and crying from their wounds, the
rest having fallen INTO the gulleys and
fence corners for protection; but they
soon reformed even uncer our fire and
came forth in splendid style. The red
coats came forward in the front ranks,
and made desperate effort to dislodge
US, but were again hurled back, leav-
ing many Of their comrades behind
them, both dead and wounded, and
these charges were repeated eight
times with the same result. Several
times they got within sixty feet Of our
line and battery, but were each time
hurled back with great loss. 1t is
proper tc State here, that we Confed-
crates had every I'D vantage Of them, as
there was a deep swamp on either side
of US that we thought could not be
waded, but they did finally wade it in
places up to their necks, and fanked
US and came very near capturing us.
But we found them out in time to slip
out on the road that we had gone in
on, and we retreated to South Mills.
1t was now dark, as night had come
upon us and we went into camp, the
battle had lasted for seven hours. Our
loss was very light. as we bad but few
men engaged and had every advan.
tage in position. however, the Captain
of the company that the writer belonged
to, was killed dead eraly In the action,
receiving minnie ball directly
through the heart. His name was
West McComas and he was brother of
old Judge McComas. formerly of Fort
Scott, Kansas. He was an excellent
man, and would have been in u few
days promoted to Brigcdier General.
There w.s quite q number of our
privates wounded; some IS or 40, and
several killed. The Union troops loss
was much heavier, as they were the
attacking party, and they fought like
demons, but they did not follow us,
