Many offitr cftvalrv officers JK9» _ yet, taken all together, 5otnething like •a score of first class funerals would have been a blessing to the nation, aud a harbinger of victory. Our pen re­ fuses to linger on the dark, whiskey soaked view of this historic campaign. On a dreary, stormy night, when posting a picket guard, I passed a group of twenty or more cabins. A half dozen were Inhabited by negroes, and one by a white family. These combined constituted a sad picture of wretchedness and woe. I learned that "fifty-seven people all told had lived there, and that within ninety days thirty-one had been killed by bush­ whacker*. The wife and mother of the white family was formerly from Maine. Her husband, two daughters and one son had been killed. Her hus­ band was hung from an oak limb near his cabin door, and his fatnilv com­ pelled to witness his execution. These people were living mostly on roots and berries. About thirty hard tack were gathered from the haversacks of the soldiers and distributed among the suflerers, and as we rode off there died away mid the woodland echoes, the voice ot prayer and thanksgiving, as it came back to us from the dusky throng. That same evening a squad of thir­ teen soldiers were sent out to get some salt. sa!d to be In the near vicin­ ity of the picket line. They never re­ turned and we afterward learned that they were shot by bushwhackers and buried in one grave. Another forage ing party of twenty brought, in twelve Confederate prisoners An officer wa« mortally wounded and died during the night. This officer's little sou, seven years old. accompanied his dying fath­ er. The boy could not speak English. The big tears trickled down the little hero's cheek, as his father's body was lowered in the grave. After the grave was filled tiie boy tore off a strip from hU shirt sleeve, tied It to a small stick and set it at the head of the grave, then so*bbing as though his heart would break, be slowly walked away. As we neared Xachi todies the long columns of troops aod wagons closed up and advanced slowly. The Confed­ erates appeared to be making ready for a determined resistance. They could often fee seen leisurely wending tleir way al«ng in order of battle, or column well in hand. They seldom ex­ posed their urtiliery and very seldom made a false or foolish move. A snarl of unprincipled bushwliacke's, respon­ sible only to themselves, aud the devil. murdered and plundered. They picked ofl our pickets by night and searched out and annoyed our weak places by day. But these could readily be dis­ tinguished from the disciplined Con­ federate soldiers, who as a general rule conducted themselves with honor. General Oreen's Confederate Cavalry were foeuren worthy of our steel. Greyn WAS an able leader, and a thor­ ough and skillful soldier. Our own brigade commanders were men who fought under Scott in Mexico, and sev­ eral were West Poiuters. yet, wa fancied, our best officers were such as had be*n promoted from the rank*. On the night before leaving Nach- itoclies, one very amusing aflair tran­ spired. The Confederates bad made things lively for us during the day and In the early evening, consequently the orders to the picket guards were most strict. No sentinel was allowed to challenge any person advancing from the enemy's vlnlnlty. At points most exposed a carefully selected guard was posted. Yet In spite of precautions, alarms kept th* troops in order of battle the greater part of the time during the night. The tired soldiers were not *'<»ry good natured and the sentinel who gave an alarm without a good cause did not occupy an enviable position when next he reported to Ills command. One of Erin's own, w*« posted is a picket in a farm yard. At about one o'clock, A. M., when every­ thing was shrouded In blackest dark­ ness, an old veteran jack poked his head through a window in iCT^barn ar.d commenced a most hideous braying; directly two jacks In a shed still near­ er the guard chimed in with their sen­ timents on the Incomprehensible sub­ ject; others a half mile away awoke the echoes, and to make Bedlum worse confounded, hundreds of train mules jained In with a chorus. Poor Pat. completely bewildered and thinking the whole Southern Confederacy was out on a lark, commenced firing. Wherever the noise was most boister­ ous there Pat sent home the cold lead thickest. As the firing seemed to be stationary and all on one side, a squad of horsemen from a relief guard rode forward to Investigate. The wild Irishman turned and commenced firing on the reserve guard. Thereupon the following dialogue ensued between the Irishman and the officer of the mount­ ed relief: Officcr--"Who In h--1 are- you and what in li--1 are you firing at?" Irishman--Ml'se Patsy Conly and be the Howly Virgin yea must sthop fast there." Offiser--"We are Unlou soldiers, don't fire at us." • Irishman--"To It--1 wld yea. It's I Irhat's.on the Union side mesilf. ye ribel spalpeen." And Pat emphastxed this rejoinder with another shot. The guard withdrew and Pat re­ mained mastfcr'ofthc farm yard until aylight.. , .. <aM-. , ,v, %ie ftead oftlie Nachitoches about the 23J of March and on the following day the Uuiou outposts were some six miles to the west and south of the town. Infantry tired and dusty went into camp near the town, mostly in a westerly direc­ tion. These camps aud location were carefully selected. These veterans were not of the holiday pattern. There was a careless swing to their shoulders,and a long easy stride told of service. Their tattered bore au eloquent tribute to days by. In that gathering army were ments from Maryland, Louisiana, Ken­ tucky and Missouri. .Yearly every Northern State was represented there. The banners of New England aud the great Northwest waved side by side with Kentucky aud Louisiana, The slumbering cannon, batteries that had played au active and often a decisivo part in many a bloody drama, were dotted here and thereabout the town and in the fields. Train wagons were packed. Ambulances, trim and tidy were numerous and at all points. The cavalry--what of them? They passed west and south, into and be­ yond the Confederate lines; they pen­ etrated the wilderness and kept the Rebel army in suspense and alarm. Their busy trappings glittered alike in the rising and the setting sun; their sabre blades Hashed in the moonlight shadows, and they courted the death an^elin the blackness of midnight. The empty saddle aud tbe funeral dirge were their tokens of service. M. M. C. that flags gone regU A BATTEKY DOG. The following Is an extract from a letter written home during the War by a member ot Co. A., Chicago Light Artillery. We believe it was pub- lished»tthe time in the Chicago Tribune and Woodstock Sentinel. Nevertheless It may interest some of the readers of the Soldiers1 Depart­ ment of the PLAINDRALKU even at this late day: 'Our battery dog is barking at some loose horse. That remind? me of my carelessness in not before describing so illustrious a character as that dog. lie is the pet of the Battery, known as well to horses as the men, and has been associated with our interests now o/er eighteen mouths. He owns no master, but all. On the march he will follow 110 one gun but persists in lead­ ing or going in advance of ihe leading piece. He has been in four battles and has been twice wounded--once at D^nelson and again at Shlloh, At this latter fight he learned caution and now at the sound of tiring lie will hunt a tree with as much steal as his bipec friends. What is the most singular is his diet. Ir. this respect he is a thor­ ough old soldier. While in camp fresh meat, bread and potatoes, too, if we have them, are not any too good for him. On tlio march Ue takes his "hard tack*1 and bacon, aud uot a wan but will give him a share. If we are on sh<^ytratinn* he will take a meal of corn and oats with some horse. Ha has had asmany names as the "Old Mui of the Sea:" his la«t has stuck to him longest, "Tony." In personal appear­ ance lie Is not calculated to Impress One with a sense of his faculties. Bnt shaggy.black mongrel that lie Is, he known more than some men and fears no l3g that lives. Although often worsted In encounters with superior sized dogs, he never leaves the field In disgrace, hut with Ills tail Just as high over bis hack as ever, and one could not help thinking that the old fellow feels conscious that lie has done his duty. Nights he Is Invaluable at the( grain pile in driving away stray hor­ ses, and lias oft**u been my companion in standing guard. He is never absent from roll call, however far away lie may be chasing ahorse or otherwise. The sound bf the assembly has just a* potent au influence on him at On its. lie never loses us and never takes any other battery for us. In fact he is a "wonderful dorg" and the bnjrc think the world of him. W. It. C. THE IRON HIUOAOK.

The Iron Brigade was composed of the Nineteenth Indi­ ana, Second Wisconsin, Sixth Wiscon­ sin, Twenty-fourth Michigan, and Seventh Wisconsin. The present Com- tuUloner of Pensions, Hon. W. W.

It was organised in August 1861, ami disbanded It^july, 1865; and the Bri­ gade was engaged In the battles of GainesvHle, second battle of Bui!

A soldier, wishing to gat hi* dis­ charge, shamed deafness so successfully that all the medical men who examined Ills case were deceived by him. No noise, however sudden or unexpected, had any power to disturb hira, aud lie had acquired such perfect control over his nerves that a pistol fired over his head when he was asleep did not ap­ parently awake him. Grave suspicions as to the genuineness of his malady were eutertained notwithstanding. Like most nialigueis, he was a little too clever and complete. Still, It seemed Impossible to catch hire trip­ ping, A final examination was made; the doctors expressed themselves sat­ isfied; and the soldier was presented with his certificate of discharge. Out­ side the door he met a comrade who whispered: J*Have you got U?" with an appearance of eager interest. "Yes; here it is!*1 was the unguarded reply, but the certificate, though filled in, was not signed, and the maligner was a sold man.--Ckamben't Journal. ii •wntiimffiiai eomAO an OOVKT.

Hi was unwilling to leave the jail for th* court room, pl»*dlii{ illness, aad evf* dently stood in fear-of being mobhe.-f. He tiras taken to the City Hall in sdn#- carriage, attended by three offioem hot without guard*. When he found hiSK self iti tbe marshal1* office, Mmswlf guarded, he again recovered his oon« posure. On being arranged before this court lie listened to the reading of IhS iudict iiicnt, which mitipied Marly half an hour, with apparent listtessness an! indifference. On beln£ called upon f«f his plea, he entered a plea of "oat;, guilty." aiivl deoired to make a Ksis* meiit, which the court declined to hear at that time. Tbe District Attorney asked thr fthf trial be set for Monday or thla week, but Mr. Scovllle, a brother-in-law of. Ouiteau, who appeared for the prisoi** er, asked for more tlinc. He foreahait# owed (lie line of defense, which bra'res three points: First-- Hie tion ot jurisdiction;second-- the iMaa* Ity of the prisoner; and third--that the wouud inflicted on President Gar» field was not necessary fatal, bnt thai iiis death was caused by malpractice of Ills physicians. The plea of iiuaaltjl is evidently the main reliance, an«l quite a number of witneswe* *««re nam* ed by whom the defense expect, as aK leged, to prove hereditary tendency ts lusanity In the family of the prisoner, and the actual Insanity of the prisoner himself. Mr. Scoville also represented that he had not yet succeeded in pro* curing necessary counsel for the pris­ oner, and that some delay was uecas* sary lu order that he might procure such counsel aud seeare tlte attendant* of witnesses. He also asked that, a* the prisoner had uo means of paying exjienses, the necessary) expense of material witnesses 011 beWalf of th* . ^ prisoner be. paid by the Government. v."
