Th orScrs made Te-peated attempt to rally their men. but; it was impossible, so hotly were they pursued by the rebels, and so unprotected were they en the fiejid, (it all being crpen). Onl onl rushed the rebel pjdirea, fearless yea heedless of dang r. buoyed by the hope of victory, of winning laurels yet un equaled by any recorded in the pages of history. .. The wing had pow doubled back upon the center. Skirmishers and sharpshooter were busy in their work of destruction on the cen- t-r and lea.

The ball passing through the horses shoulder, and entering her - shoulder, shattering the bones of her arm.. It now hangs a useless appehdaoge at her side. After the battle the Federals marched into town. The Sabbath dawned bright and beautiful; not a rebel was to be seen un til, ten o' clock when the rear guard came io and occu pied the place until twelve P. 21. It was sot until Kenday, A. H., ttat the Federals enter ed the town. They seemed somewhat surprised At the 4MEaediate retreat of Bs., army. for though they Itnew that he (Bragg) had been badlv hurt, thev knew also that I hey were he worst ftveri of the 'trvo, arid were already eleven miles on their way back to N. ' Yet delighted as they were at this unexpected oc- cupatian tsf JI., they were on rtbcl soil. a.iA the tcought of lost comrades and commanders, filled them with rage, and they must needs vent theSr rage . upon some one. Who theii but women, children and era v haired sizes were to be victimized. v They marched on to the farm of Eq. B , an old, quiet and inoffensive citizen.. (4 is stock was driven off, his smokehouse, pantry," gra-neries, private trunks, and' those of his wife (who had died one month" previous,) were robbed of every thing they contained. TJe old gentleman reclining on his- coucTi of ihness and infirmity, could offer no resistance, but was obliged to submitto the abusi-ve aud 'insulting epithets, that a rude soldiery could offer. His house waa sackeir- of every bng that he had labored so long and hard tor,.that his last days might te ftpent in ease. Headers when wf say all, we mean all.',; Not even so much as a spoony knife rJbrkrcupraucerj pillow, quilt or co&b was left him.;" ItproVed too much for hint? 'he only survive! the .' brief space of one month, and death came to release his tortured spirit from this 'law; ground of sorrow. Many other worthy citizens passed away in the same manner. Numerous . hous es were burned without provocation, others. were torn down and used for other purposes. Our noble forests were hewn, and every, thing (in short) that could he demolished-or destroyed was swept away. No one can form any conception of our village, as it was formerly, to behold the wreck of it. : Time waiteth for no man. Winter buded into Spring, Spring ri-peoed into id-Summer. Agai the armies contemplated a movement. X3en. B.,- moved southward, and Gen. R., followed him. . At this season of the year the roads were impassible, and the movements of both armies were greatly retarded and there was but little fighti ng.. 5But now that we have seen the Tear guard ol fh Union ariy disappear, let us return to our village, and .Bee w-hat apeiranc rhmgs bear there. : We will give you a few of th e incidents of what may be termed our quiet life. There were troops sufficient left here to : garnion 'the ots, that had been built. We had no excitement except an occasional raid by the rebel Cavalry, we were so much accus'omed to the sight of soldiers that we hardly notice it now. , An idea had crept into the minds of a certain, rfclass of our people, that to be "Union " would be to come into the lines, cJaimto have been robbed of that they evr. poseeeeed, ' by the rebels, and live upon the bounty of 'Uncle Sam." For they were never fond of labor, and this was the easiest man hr in which they, could earn a livelihood. Consequently our town wasoon filled with refugees, black and whit, of whom there are but few exceptions to -the above described el ass. '.: When th wounded began to recover, they-were sent to mor comfortable places and the well to prison as fast aau; possible. Gradually the outward effects of tha. bait! wot' Away, goods were brought in, .which you ' know delighted theladies,' (it having, been nearly a year since Jthey hadt goods to purcbaBe) And new there was another thing of vast- fmpor- tance to be considered by bur1 w6rtMes,; ibe freed man's friends.'
