The sick list was enormous, the ratio or slek and well being at times nearly equal, and « sort of relaxation of muscular power was the (om|ilaliit of all. Mercury •Hen stood at 115 In Mw shade, and It »#was a common thing to see soldiers prosttated with sun stroke as late at six o'clock p. m. The heaviest duty was performed by night, and the stone- paved streets of the Creseut City echoed and re>echoed during tlie hours of night to tlie tramp of marching men. The rations Issued were *iifficlent In quantity, but for various causes the quality was bad. An occasional meal of desslcated potatoes did not suffice as a substitute for the original article, and potatoes and onions were only to be had oy paying one shilling per pound: butter *1 a pouud. and eggs #1 »o 91.60 per dozen. Meals at the St. Charles'lio>l were 916 each. Citixen*. hn£gard and starving, begged food from tlie soldiers, and for several weeks one ration of hard bread per day was Issued by the government to thousands of the destitute. To witness the b?g. gnrly misery of helpless women and children as tliey gathered under the folds of the old flag waiting for tol- diere'bread was a sorry sight that I hope not again to witness. By the established rules for Issuing rations to the needy, each member of the family must be present and receive the food In their own hands. Mothers, (how­ ever) could draw a full ration for a l»abe, but the little one must bo present at tlie time and plaoe of distribution. On one sultry, sickly morning an Irish mother, pale, sad and weeping, pre­ sented herself with a babe in her arms at tlie door of the commissaries build­ ing and asked for two ration*. There was a something about Iter to give way and the mother had little ilittlculty in reaching the head of tiie seething crowd, but there the guards hesitated and seemed to shrink away from tlie pif.e woman with the babe In her arms. There was a stench as from a decomposing corpse, and when the woman *as required to show the face of her child the rotting flesh of the lead child cleaved from the cheek. It had been dead two days. The two ra­ tions were given her. and in addition a sentinel gave his own, Tlie child was hurriedly takon away for burial. This is not an extreme illustration of the winding ways resorted to for the pur­ pose of alleviating the terriblo distress of pinching hunger. In the month of July.1868,scouting parties were frequently sent out from New Orleans and Baton Rouge for varlAtts purposes (some of them wild and visionary) often, however. Involv­ ing very important consequence. These detachments, always small, were carefully selected from among the best rlflemeu. and men of tried metal, and their experiences and adventures if carefully ant! truthfully written would eclipse (he romance ot border histories. For hazardous adventure and soldierly bearing under the most trying circum­ stances they were certainly entitled to a high standard of merit. But like paltering rain-drops preceding a storm these assorted deeds of heroism, tor­ ture, success, or adventure are lost and forgotten, and whatever may havo been their Incentive, loss or gain, the scattered graves unmarked and all un­ known yet contain as lie role dust as ever trod a battle plain. On one oc casion a detail of twenty soldiers was called for. They were out three days and within the time enptnred more than 100 confederates, routed a home guard of about 40 men and captured a town of some 300 inhabitants. They destroyed a newspaper printing offlce. spiked two cannon and captured a con­ federate flag. But there wits a ridicu­ lous part to this scouting adventure which I will here relate. Qno brava fellow drank excessively of Blackberry wine, and as the occasion was Fourth of July, he mounted a hogshead and at once began a most Impressive and beautiful oration. (Strange how some men's ideas are sharpened by the ar­ dent). Comrades protested that they could not tarry, that moments were precious; but the orator talked on. The head of the hogshead shortly gave way, but (right side up) the speaker struck terra flrma. Not a sentence was lost, but witli arms uplifted to high heaven bis exalted eloquence at this stage far exceeded his ^gh-toned beginning. In a few moments there was a rattle of musketry and tlie soldiers were warmlv engaged (save only our Webster.) who persisted in electrifying an Imaginary Itliitieiice gathered from the evergreen hills of pence. Scarcely a year later the hero ot Independence dsy fell In battle pierced by a score of bullets. Saillv we lifted him from among the worindf d, and in the light of the stars, be a rock in a wild ravine, we buried our comrade. His dirge was the roaring cannon, and a soldiers* blanket his apRING GROVE. EDITOR PIAINDKALKR -The farmers aiound here have nearly completed their Spring's work.

Tlie horse wonld'nt drink with the bits In his month, and Mr. H. went to take the bridle oil and just as he removed It the horse lit out for all he was worth, with the boy in the buggy. Mr. H. tried to hold him bat was thrown down and badly hart. Tbe horse ran a short way west of the fac­ tory and turned down a steep bank into tlie ereek, with the boy still in the kaggy.

While standing on the bank It gave way with him. and a bigger Ash was never seen In the Nip- persink than there was for a little while. When struggling to get out more of the hank fell on him and he had to paddle out as best he could. Remember Harvey, always look before you step.
