Very early In rhe morning of the l&th of May our mmmaml withdrew from the battie Held and moved ofl leisurely towards SiiBSport. There was nothing unusual, .nor", extraordinary, in tills march, excepting possibly a more weird and de?qlit» cast In the general de­ meanor of the men. The great utrain upon their physical powers was mini* feist in evory motion of the hand, and In the ItoJlow sound of everj' voiee- Few'as we were there wa« a lack of IK»WS and Ofe soldier rode an ungain- I v old m*il9 that had his tongue shot oil in the battle of yesterday. Our pet dog -- mentioned in previous letters -- had there rewfved a fatal shot, and to-day we hatied liim in a cornfield. Few, indeed, 4rere tits comrads whose death would liare given occasion for more profound sorrow. The plated band about his neck, on which was en- graved his coaspany and regiment, was permitted ro remain with the addi­ tional inscription: "Killed at Yellow Bayou." We «ermetl; la be marching almost alone, and although the distance trav­ ersed by us was short I believe ft was mir most patjjful journey while in the U. 8. service. .'We overtook a f>w bum­ mers and stragglers. One not.*d «har- acter that heionged lo our own com­ mand tlje boys would have hung or shot; but belpromised, on pain of death, that If let go he would never again wear a "1»lue uniform and' style- himself a »<dtfter. After the war he re­ turned to Mn^ivehusetts und later died an outcast.--'^owards evening s long train of atnbnlances came up with us and most of them passed us. MJIllonW of flies swarmed about tlieni and many presented a sickening exterior, stained witii blood, some with and some with­ out covers, butt all heavily laden. Many of th<^ wottnded, wiiose strength would permit. liobbl«4 along on foot, and in several Instances negroes and soldiers wer«» seeu trudging aloug, hearing stretciiers on wtilcii reclined brave men whose hurts w^re too acute to endure the jar o/ tli«-|jptbti!KiH,w. ;v ^At right nnd untt! davHgfir. Fou¥ cou«i'iv<kifi joined u* here, who, for best known to themselves, were some­ how detached from the command on the night of the 17th and did not find us until the fighting was over. One of these lisd hitherto borne a good record, but nevertheless, right or wrong, the cruel mark of Cain was upon them. Three of the nuinbfr wiped the stain away and gave their lives f&r their country in the operations about Mobile. On May 20th we received a fairly lib­ eral ration of salt beef, coffee and hard Oread, and were allowed ample time to enjoy our meal. A little before noon we readied the Atclixlalnya river, and here, from the steamers in tne river, several more comrades joined Ms. Tweuty-otie river steamers abreast, side by si de add keeping up just enough steam to stem tlie current and .hold their places in line, aflorded a complete bridge from shore to shore. Every branch of the servieo passed safely and expeditiously over the bows of these boats. Three gnn boats lay with ports open nn«r tiie east bank, and hospital boats were In waiting for the wounded. We were not annoyed by Confeder^ ates between the battlefield of Yellow Bayou and the Mississippi. On the Mississippi. On tilt* evening ot May 21st our command and a part of the 19fch corps infantry arriigpl at M*»rgan*a on the Mississippi. There might some­ where in that neighborhood sometime have been a town, but I never saw It. We camped on a flat or bottom Ian*1; drew supplies of clothing and provi­ sions; cleaned at;d garnished ourwutHt; did picket and scout duty, until both were monotonous. • We again received our regular mail from the North, and wrote letters to our hearts content. Our occupation of Morganza and the duties it enjoined were not without txclte- luents and dangers. Our brigade was reorganised here. A so called lexas regiment, the tiftings of that State, of Mexico and elsewhere, joined us here. But few of them could speak English, nor any other tongue decently. I he New York Second' Veterans also became a part of our military family. This regiment was a good one; but we some­ how to«»k a snifl against Uoi.

The horriil wretch Is •till single.-- Courier-Journaj, * "'-j' ' -r y" - ^ r / v' y s'~ "Iv From the Elgin Dally NeWi, Hvw. RKUBKS ELLWOOD. of DeKalb county, who has Congressional aspira­ tions, has been canvassing certain parts of the district In co npany with Messrs. Dustin and Dittton. also of DcKalb <Jo. The result of their pilgrimage we have not learned. There Is, however, a no­ ticeable contrast between the eanvass of Mr. Ellwood and that of Mr. Hop- k;n$. The former gentleman Is making an open, honest canvass^ He has not attempted to belittle or abuse the present member from tills district. He lias, on the contrary, frequently spoken of that gentleman as an honest and able representative. He has based his claim for office upon his own ability and ftpon the fact that DeKalb county has a right to ask the honor of furnish­ ing the representative, if the present member Is not to be returned. Siroh a canvass commends itself to all honest men, and Mr. Ellwood, by such a course, is entitled to the respect of everybody. "Look on that picture, then on this." Mr. Hopkins has for two months been in the Held, surrounded by hl« little band of followers, making a prelimin­ ary cai.vass, evidently for the purpose of convincing all candidates for minor offices that they are his choice. In fact, Mr. Hopkins is fifet at prefcent every­ body's friend. We hear but little of Mr. H#pklns' ability. He and his friends prefer to make a low, personal light upon Mr, Slierwin. in the hope that they can drag hiin down, and by standing on his political grave ascend one step, nearer the1 haven of their hopes. Honor they have set aside. By incessantly howling about Mr. Slierwin being politically dead they have hoped, but hoped In vain, to make the people of the district believe such to be the case. The people of the fourth district are nQjt so short-sighted as these over- zealous and unprincipled opponents of Mr. Sherwlu. The people appreciate the fact that If Mr. Slierwin wcu po­ litically dead, the Advocate and Beacon weuld not allow their unbridled spite to run rampant. What could be their object in wasting their midnight oil tmd massive Intellects in preparing volumes of personal-grievance copy to fill their "valuable space" for the pur­ pose of defiling and attempting to in­ jure the man whom they declare Is dead beyond all hopeot recovery? The public Is called upon to arise and avenge U»e wrongs done the Beacon and Ativomte, but the <fefir public don't «* •»#«»' Slierwin has humored ev#ry whim of those papers. They do care to have Mr. Slierwin do what he thinks is for the best Interests of the greatest num­ ber. They'also take a. pride in the en­ viable prominence which, by close ap­ plication to his duties, Mr. Slierwin has gained at Washington. He has not seen lit to cater to every whltn of the Beac­ on and Advocate, and hence he Is ma­ liciously attacked in the columns Of those sheets. This the public under­ stands. or eyen if Ignorant of those facts it knows that Mr. Sherwtu's chances for renoinination are excellent, else these designing journals would not be so much alarmed. The public knows that the Advocate and Beacon are alarmed at this state of aftalrs; their own course proves it. Were ft not so, were Mr. Sherwin's chances not three to one" igalnst any man tin the field? Were his chances hopeless as these poor, disappointed papers delight t* assert, why slioui<*< they waste time, paste and "valuable space" In fighting him? Tiiey would argue themselves ghouls to devote their combined ener­ gies to a fiendish battle over a defeat­ ed man. It would be a sorry reflection upon their honor or manhood to keep op a howl over the political grave of •ne tiiey professed.to love --tintU they found they couid not control him. Their course has been a most unanswerable argument In favor of Mr. dherwhi's strength. It may possibly be that some have been deceived by the wailing of these publications, but we doubt it. So evideiit U the true belief of the twin wailers that we have several times been asked the qt\estion: "Why, If Mr. Siierwln's chances are hopeless, does the Advocate keep at liirn?' Why does it not attack some lire candidate from whom it ha? something to fear?" Every man, woman or child with or­ dinary sense can readily perceive that the Advocate and Beacon have in their atteiwpts to Injure Mr. Sliemrln and tliereey (according to their theory) bolster up their candidate, reaHy done more for the cause they have opposed than they could possibly have done had they openly espoused It. The fact Is, Mr. Slierwin will almost beyond doubt be renominated, and this the Advocate and Beacon realize. Hence it is that they pas^ by all other aspirants and aim ail their blows at hi in. The people of Kane oouuty fully understand this to be the fact.

It reads something like a fairy tale, and our readers will, no doubt, be prouder than ever of being residents of Lake county, after perus­ ing it. Here it is: Gentlemen: -- Our magnificent 01 ub House and nine acres of ground are lo­ cated on a peninsula about midway of and on the bank of the south shore of this well known and beautiful lake. The liou«e was erected by Col. Ltppin- cott In the summer of 188Q. The situation and view U one of grandeur and unsurpassed beauty. Luoking to the north a utile or more we see Crabapple-lsiand, with its cot­ tages thereon, and the Fox River like a siiver ribbon winding Its serpentine course past Pickerel Point and Long Bridge, losing itself among the great Egyptian Lily Beds of Grass Lake. To the north und east the waters of Lake Autioch and Lake Maria appear, with tlivir Islands, bays and bold north­ ern shores. To the right, commencing with the rippling waters at our feet, stretched away oft east Is Squaw Bay, receiving the discharged waters from Long. Hound, Duck and other lakes, through thel^ outlet, Squaw Creek; while farther east Is Stanley Point throwing Its shadows 6pon the delight­ ful landscape Eagle Point is on the nerthern shore. Beyond and across Black Bass Bay yon behold Petite Lake and outlet with Its romantic bluffs. From the C>ub House west and south we have mir own rotnantio banks and shores, with our cottages and other buildings, and away to the south and west Indian Bay stretches a mile or more till It washes the gravelly beach Of the western banks, on which the sum liter villa of the late E A.

There Is an eight­ een toot portieo on throe sides of the house; large and fine parlors, dining hall, private ladles* and gen tie men's toilet room; fire proof safe in the office; with every convenience that could be supplied for the comfort and pleasure of its members and friends during their visits, and supplied with the pur­ est of water.
