Unfortunately for the novelty of the

mutilated bodies had been rihed and
were hanging out empty. 1t would be
hard to fix the responsibility for these
ghouls, for there is always a bad lot of
camp followers who escape the utmost
vigilance of the commanding officers,
and it Is likely that they harassed the
enemy's camp as well as ours.
In one place, where the rebel lines
had suffered heavily from our artillery,
over seven hundred bodies lay IN
buried and horribly disigpred by the
burning underbrush which had caught
fire; yet there, too. the fiends had been
at work In the night. The devils had
even dared to desecrate the body of
one poor fellow who lay on his back
with his hands uplifted, and in one
hand they had placed q flush" and in
the other full" hand at poker, and
there he lay cold in death, clutching
the emblems of that baneful game
which was so demoralizing to the army.
Everywhere revolving sights and
piteous scenes of suffering, but the
burial parties were now fairly at work
under flags of truce from both sides,
and the surgeons were busy in the hos
pital. The wounded of the first days
battle had been taken to Savannah, or
away in transports, but the second
days battle ending late and having ex-
tended over many miles of front, all
the wounded were not gathered In, and
many poor fellow watched and prayed
for the break of day and succor, but to
most of them relief came in the night
and the reveille awoke them not. The
story is not all told-it never can be
it was a great battle, one of the few de-
cisive battles of the war, and has per
haps been more warmly discussed than
any of them.

to the lot of others, for when sleep was
hopeless and the scanty fire of the
camp guard gave no warmth or COM
fort, and the increasing rain drenched
every one to the skin, and it grew cold
one Of them proposed to cross the field
with some of the enlisted men and
bring back from a Quarternaster's
abandoned tent the empty barrels and
boxes they had seen there during the
fight in the afternoon.
The lucky finding of q rebel railway
lantern helped them to pick their way
among the dead and wounded, as well
as sadly disappointing many a poor
sufferer who thought the party with
lantern meant relief. Piteous cries on
every side for help, and all around the
dead. At last the coveted fuel was
found and the we'll laden soldiers
reached the camp fire and rejOiced in
a glorious and drying blaze until the
daylight revealed more of the dreadful
surroundings. The "vultures of the
battle field" had been silently at work
In the watches of the night, and many
a dead soldier had been robbed of all
that was valuable.
In one spot three men lay side by
side, 3 cannon shot having cut off the
head Of one, plunged through the
chest of the second and through the
bowels Of the third in its downward
course, yet the pockets Of these three

day, and there was but little time to
adjust the lines of the army for the
night before darkness closed upon the
scene, and then the rain came on, Gs Is
often the case after such heavy can
nonading, and added to the discomfort
of the tired soldiers who lay on the
ground without shelter.
An occasional musket shot from the
pickets at the outpOsts of the advanced
guard covering our front was the only
break upon the stiffness that settled
over the vast plain, and in the thick
woods to the right and the left, while
the army tried to sleep, but many were
too restless, and among them were
some officers who had in vain tried to
forget the CHASTITY bed they had made
on the sod under a sheltering tree by
carrying from there many dead bodies
to the rear of the line for burial in the
morning. As one of the officers
stretched his aching limbs for repose
he felt cold dismeTnbered hand lying
by his side.
The horrors of that night and the
woeful scenes at dawn can never be
effaced from memory, and after TWEEN
ty-seven years the remembrance of it
Is still fresh and terrible. That little
group of officers saw, perhaps, more of
the misery during that night than fell
