LEAVING HOME.
The Way the Boys Started to War.

Editor National Tribune: Many times
have | thought Of my leaving home for
the war. In my minds eye many times
that going" is before me, bright and
fresh as II it had happened but a few
days ago. After Sumter was fired on
felt as II l should go-as IL 1t was my
duty to enlist-but l hated to say any
thing to my mother about it. Ny faith
er died when l was not quite two years
old. When l was not quite six my
mother, two sisters and myself lived
with my uncle-her brother. He had
never married, and wanted mother to
keep house for him. We moved from
Westmoreland County. Pa. to Mercer
County, Pa, where we were living when
the war broke out. worked on the
farm all Summer until one September
day, when we were finishing sowing a
piece Of rye. l was finishing the drag
ging with an OK team, and Uncle was
cleaning out the burrows SO as to drain
off the water, when / saw a neighbor's
boy coming across the field toward me.
His first words were: Charlie Is going
to see what he must have to take along
with him. Charlie wants you to 60
with him. Come over tonight" My
first thought was-Mother. 1 finally
told him that l would be over at night
1t was now about o'clock. Mother
was away at one Of the neighbours, and
l felt as IL could not say would go
until had seen her. Uncle had been
saying that when we had finished that
piece Of rye we would have few days
to rest before tackling one other Job of
work, and l had been planning a good
deal on what / should do during those
few days.
When Uncle came to where I was
working I made up my mind to breach
the subject to him. and l said:
If you think you can finish the work
this Fall, I believe l will go into the
army"
II can do the rest of the work." he
replied. "but you had better not go, for
you will find mighty hard times"
YES" l said, II know that; but
somebody has got to CO."
After l went to the house I waited
quite while for Mother to come home
though I could not promise him I would
go with him until I could talk with
Mother
When Mother came home It was
dark, and / was glad Of that, for I could
not see her face nor she mine. Then
l told her. For minute she said moth

other little things. such as a pin-cushion

Mrs. Julia West Hamilton presided and

hearts wounded by the unkind ''slings
and arrows Of outrageous fortune
iIis splendid utterances were followed
by almost constant applause, and SUI

would be impossible to preserve the
speech. entirely extemporaneous, in the
archives of the Corps.
Mrs. Isabel Worrell Ball gave a talk
on the Flag, which she illustrated with
a set Of some 25 Flags which she had
made. showing the evolution Of SYM

showed also several different Flags
which the Confederate Congress seri-

Mrs Balls talk was both instructive and
entertaining, and she caused not little
amusement by telling how Betsey Ross.
Washingtons shirt maker, made the
first Flags, and then demonstrated how
Betsey cut the five-pointed star with one
snip Of her shears.
Among others who added patriotic
fervor to the program of the evening
were Hon. John Dancy,. ex-Register Of
Deeds, and second Booker Washing

Rev. M. w. ID. Norman. Rev. j. w.

congregational singing Of patriotic songs
was inspiring.
Taking it all in all. 1T seems as though
the Flag idea had taken deep root in
this Southern city, owing to the seed
sown by the Woman's Relief Corps.

The Council Of War.

A little after dark the corps and divi-
sion Generals met in Gen. Rosecrans's
headquarters. 1t was gloomy congre-
cation. From the overwhelming num-
bers which had been encountered on
the right, some had gotten an exagger-
ated idea Of Bragg's forces, and at least
one General is said to have expressed
the belief that the army was surround
ed, and that the only alternative was
an attempt to cut its way back to Nash
vile. Others were more hopeful that
Bragg's army had done its worst, and
that in it's position the Union army
could now successfully resist any re-
newal OF the attacks and possibly as
sumo the offensive. 1t is said that Crit
tenden wanted to resume his movement
by the left into Murfreesboro. Rose
Grams was exceedingly determined, and
announced his intention of fighting out
the battle there. The only question in
his mind was whether 1t would not be
better to withdraw the army to Over
all's Creek, some two or three miles TO
the rear. and receive the renewal Of the
attack behind it's steep banks.

Absolute Exhaustion stops the Battle.
The simple fact was that absolute
physical and moral exhaustion stopped
the fighting all along the line q little
after O'Clock. Since daybrsak both
sides had been whirling in a cyclone
of the most terrific efforts. incidents
and emotions. 1.-The rebels had attacked
with a demoniac ferocity the very
fierceness of which must burn out in
u
that ragged to madness. Most Of them
had stood much Of the previous night
in tense expectation of awful things
which were going to happen. They had
made attack after attack in a desperate
frenzy, and had crowded into one brief
Winters day more consuming emotions
than come in many long lifetimes. They
whitening volleys. They had rushed
across open fields under the awful
scourging Of the Union cannon. and
when they fell back in bloody repulse
they had been rallied under the cover
Of the dark, thick-growing cedars, and
led back to renewed assaults and more
sickening slaughter. They had seen
many Of their officers and one-third Of
their comrades fall as mangled corpses
or MANNED in bodies and limbs under
the death-dealing missiles Of the Union
soldiers. They were utterly worn out
in body, mind and soul. Every brigade
in Bragg's army, except two of Breck-
inridge's, had been put into the battle,
and though they had won great sue
cesses at first. they had later been pun
ished with frightful severity, and at
every attack been beaten back with
losses that stunned the boldest and
fiercest.
Hardee's assertion of possibility of
victory is the customary military men,
dacity." After the Union army lined up
solidly behind the pike. and after Polk
failed to break through Hazen's Bril-
gade, in the Center, there was no longer
a chance for them to win the battle.
The Union troops had been beaten back
into positions which they could have
held even against fresh forces IL Bragg
had had them at hand to hurl against
them.
Hardee therefore wisely withdrew his
fagged-out men to the cover Of the
cedars, beyond the open fields, and out
OF range of the Union muskets. There
they sank down to rest and gather anew
their wasted strength.

The Condition Of the Union Soldiers.

The condition Of the Union soldiers
was certainly no better than that of
their opponents, IL it was as good. Nc
Cooks men had been beaten from pill
lar to post all day by superior forces
and superior generalship. Their fierc-
est resistance had been in vain, because
their enemies swarmed around their
tanks and forced them to fly to save
themselves. Negley's and Rousseau's
men had suffered only less cruelty. AL
together 1000 men had fallen since
morning, two-thirds of the battlefield
had been lost, with % cannon. Five
Brigadiers were gone, with 10 Colonies
and 10 observation-disclosures. Sheridan
alone had lost ~ officers. The Regular
Brigade had lost $50 out of the 1.400
with which 1t had entered the cedars in
the middle of the forenoon.
