WHERE WE "WJENT1N. 1*be Wilderness, Virginia, Aug. 29. --In my last letter I believe I had Ifroiiiiht the movements of the army in funeral, am? those of my own bri jtade in particular, down to the point where we '?went III" on the mornin of the secona ^ay's fight in the V> I denies?. ^ w Years before, when a very small boy, I *at on the knee of a veteran of the Mexican W&r and listened with 3onij- liijf eyog to his ta?es< of adventure nnd danger. This grizzled old fellow gave me some aage advice *on the ssibject of armv work. "My boy,*'said he as he stroketl my hair,--1 had a re«|>cctnbie brush then, though the space it once oi cHpied in now as bare as a marble slab--"My boy. when vou get to be a big man never go where there is any lighting. It's bad for the evesT* And in my yonthful ontbusiasui.'l respoud- most eiilhnsiastically: "Xo 6ir-ee I won't!" Oddly enough, while stand­ ing behind a sapling which was so ex- asperatingly small that I felt like anathematizing it because It had not attained a vast diameter before 1 -imade Its acquaintance, it occurred to tine that 1 had disregarded his advice, and as a consequence was iu a place of vrent danger to the organs of sight, The,same thought had presented It­ self to tne In previous battles; but I Was a private then, and had my at­ tention so Hilly occupied with my own gun that there was no time to waste oil reflections of this kind. Ilere I was a line olttcer and had little to do beyond peeing; |Uat no mem tier of the com­ pany limbered to the rear unless he, could show a hole in his corporation. Nor be in g sufficiently settled ill mind to lake a musket and endeavor to en­ force Orant's cat-tail policy, I devoted my time to looking around on the ,tci'- ritie out curious spectacle. * The peculiar nature of the ground fought over made this fe weird, un- cmtiy contest--a batlie of invisibles with invisibles. Wo had had wood lights before, but none in which the enemy, as well as ourselves, were «o completely concealed as in this. It Whs not even Indian fighting. I never did any of that, but at one time I was a very iudustilous reader of dime novels; and if my recollection is ac­ curate, in these-veracious accounts of border warfare, the scalp locks of the nborjgiues were, at least, occasionally exposed. Here nothing could be fceen of the enemy or their doings but the white smoke that belched out of the bushes and ctuled and wreathed in fantastic design* as it slowly floated Mpward through i^ie l|ot air. The tret suit his ideas of proper snrsjical prac­ tice. At any rate he remained with n* until after the battle and doctored the wound in his own way. DURING THE NKXT DAT I came upon him several times when lie waaciirrying his medical theories Into effect, and in the end they brought about a thorough cure. When­ ever he found a pool or mud puddle, or even a moist place, he deposited the wounded member in it with a tender pathos, which I really think did much toward working repentance in those who had been foremost in abusing him. He followed us through the campaign until the close of the first day's light on the Weldon railroad, when I saw him with his paws in the air and great hole torn through lilt body by piece of a shell, I have not now and never have had a dctlnite-conceptlon of time or space in the Batt'.e of the Wilderness. Look­ ing over the ground, as I have within the past week I find that points which In my recollection are very near each other, are actually separated by con­ siderable distances, while others"which appear from memory to be removed by great intervals, comparatively speaking, are near neighbors In the topography of the field. As to time there Is no appreciable lapse between sunrise and noon, while within that Interval there are periods of a very few moments which seem to stretch away into hours For instance, I know from the recorded time of contempo­ raneous events that our occupancy of the position taken at the time we reached the line and commenced firing must have been quite brief; yet a mul­ titude of little incidents occurred there which it seems Impossible to compress Into the few moments of our stay. All at once, without any prelim­ inary indications, there was a great rush forward. I never knew from whence came the impulse which drove the line ahead, but with a tremendous yell and a mighty serge the blue-clad mass plunged forward, bearing the Confederate line before it as pebble* are borne on the ragged edge of au avalanche. It was one of those unac­ countable things which create them­ selves for particular emergencies. I heard no order given and when I made inquiry afterward I learned that none had been given. It seemed to be a spontaneous conviction, Dashed with electric speed through the minds of the men, that that opposing force had been there long enough, and that fate had decreed them as the instruments of lis removal. Possibly the Influence of the terriflc charge of. the second corps und Wadsworth's division of the Fifth corps, made about this time was the cause of the movement. Before they had exhibited simply * stubborn endurance; now they wefo impelled forward by a sort of fiery vigor, and like hounds on the trail of A wounded deer, in full cry they dashfed on. A few hurried steps brought us to the ^ofl^tion w^k^ had been occupied b, TltK LOCAL Fj The columns of a'paper «§fj llsher's stock in tratle, ami who ask us to use that# peeial benefit must ei tlia same, and we hop#. will, after due consideration, vl matter In tho proper light. public spirited citizen of • should have pride in teeing hte and sarronmfing country Impww#, Every new house or barn In the sur­ rounding connti?; ••cry mew fescr, road or sha le tree; every wt amntr- fact nrlng esd&blistnott^ tlMtlf^Ttrr new bo-ine.»>s opened, tut* ne of property In your BlAi.

The tops of tiie bush­ es were being torn away by the pounds Ot lead that tore through theui, and we obtained occasional glimpses of gray, phantom-like forms crouching behind the bank of cloud ott .op­ posite sloiie. . v"-'". MT O^TN POSITION behind the company brought me 111 front of a little gap iu our own line, the men, when they knelt at the first lire having dropped away to either side. Stretched from bush to bush hi this nnrrow open space a large yellow- backed spider had spun his web and I watched hiul for soinu time as lie en­ gaged diligently in the work of re­ pairing breaks in tiie net. Scarcely, however, was one mended wiieu a bul­ let would come sweeping through, tear- a new hole in tiie structure. Several tiuies he seemed to give up in despair; but recollecting, as 1 imagined at the time, the successful persistence of the historic insect who labored before tiie royal Bruce, he dashed into the, breach with renewed vigor, vAt last a' missile whistled along, and carried away one uf the branches to which the web wa; attached, and the silky floss was re­ duced to a shapeless ruin. If ever In the department ot entomology, au at­ tempt WHS made to express disgust, I think this specimen is entitled to the honor of having made it. He surveyed the wreck from one corner of the fragile roof, snd tiien turning on Ills heel--if tiie expression is allowable iu this connection--climbed out of sight in the tangle; of green leaves. I think t his individual was supremely disgust­ ed, as well as astonished, at th6 violent methods of the strange creatures who had invaded his domain. Soon after this I had my attention called to the curious antios of a dog who insisted upon being present and taking part in the proceedings. He ^nid fallen in with the regiment ou .the march to tiie Kupidan, aud after bear­ ing patiently a liberal allottment of kicks and other disrespsctful treat­ ment--induuing the mortittcation of having a lamp Kettle tied to liis tail-- he seemed to consider himself duly en­ listed and deported himself according-^ lv. He had evidently been laid out by, nature on a retaugular plan--a square* built mongrel with (to paraphrase the boys coin position on the horse) a short crooked leg at each corner. He was an uugainly beast but he had the real metal in him. He followed us into the tight witii a stouter heart, I think, than some who carried muskets or wore shoulder straps. Whenever a bullet struck a brunch within his range of sight he plunged at the fractured part, and bit and pawed it as if he thought this enertjeiic course ol proc dure was in some way henetici.il to his adopted battalion. Then he leaped around through the brush.looking for auother place ou which to wreak his unreason- ng vengeance. During this perform­ ance he held his tail defiantly erect, and conducted hiuifeclf iu a very mar- ial manner indeed. But uufortuuate- y for his bodily comfort, before the lit at this point, closed a ball came ilong and carried away a link of the proudly waving member. This catas­ trophe would not have occurred had he been modestly brave and kept his tail down. The injury however was not sufficiently serious to send him to the hospital.. Probably thera Were too many rcckie&s amputations there to i hems*lv*t Iu Immedifct® " Here aiid there a slouched hat dodging about among the trees was all that %vae visi­ ble of ihe force which had given tis such a warm reception; and eveu now while on the run, tiiere were enough who made occasional halts and sent bai*k their cylindrical compliments to make the pursuit anything but agree­ able to the pursuers. We were among their dead and wounded, and as we swept along I noticed that most of them wore new uniforms, and that their 8olt felt hats had been but a short time out of the box. Some in iu their dying agony were clutching the grouud and the branches of the bushes that drooped over them; some were trying to stand, and staggered about with blood gathering like a red sweat on their torn faces and falling drop by drop on the green leaves. 1 stepped inadvertently on one. who as his soft, yielding body rolled oyer, glared at ine with his glazing eyes as 1 passed on. It was a wild whirl. A few details came with startling dis­ tinctness out of the confused picture as the dark rocks lift their sharp out­ lines above a turbid, tumbling stream. Our own Are had mainly ceased, and over the roll of musketry thnt came up from other parts of the line, above tiie cheers and yells that peopled ths gloomy environment as with shrieking devils, rose the rustling tread of thous­ ands of eager feet. This hunting of human beings was royal sport, and none of us in that moment of rabid ex­ ultation, would have believed it pos­ sible that but a short distance iu the future lay our own rout. Now and then we overran little batches of "Johnnses," who were per­ mitted to make their way to the rear or slip through to their own line, pro­ vided tliey chose to take 'that slight rise. 4 We'll end the war right here, ]«ften- ant!" was shouted In my ear by Day? Mills, a stalwart Scotchman of my company, as he lumbered through the brush by my side. "We will, that, Davy," I gasped back in reply; for. notwithstanding the fierce excitement of the thing, 1 had a sort of dim consciousness that both wind and legs were giving out. and 1 thought if there was to be much more of tills galloping over rougli ground, I should have to prop ray back against a tree and take a rest. < 4/ternriNiTKD NEXT WMWL jlsTRAY NOTICE.
