Incentives, foatered by strenuous opposition and a noble cause, \vas gone. The landscape and the forest was old to its. Hera was the place where a flattery lately meted out its missile* o.* death. Ah, yes, and along this ridge brave men are buried. Yonder the blazoned pines and the seared brush tells the story of eombnt. Near the road to the left, tome forty hones are rotting. Hands and feet of veterans that fell here are occasionally Men protruding from shallow and hastily; made graves, and now and then a corpse that was over­ looked when t lie others were but led, rests above the sod. The sickening stench discloses Its lowly bed; we swerve aside and move on. Farther on Is a spiked gian, dismounted, old muskets and shot guns are scattered about, and there. In a hollow, are sev­ eral bloody blankets, a few canteens, and one demolished saddle. Another Jialf mile and wo are / treading the .ground wherein, our Brigade drove 'the rebs from a strong position. Here are fresh and new made graves. Our own bnlve boys are resting here. Right here they went down tu the loud roar of conflict. At my feet rests the body of a faithful friend, and a hundred feet distant a whole platoon is buried. Bravo men--iieroes, whose cheeks had not blanched nor eyes quailed amidst a fearful shower of bullets, now wiped the trickling t«ar from sunburned faces. Few Indeed were the words that were spoken. Truer heart* never beat than those which throbbed beneath those ragged blue coats. Hark, a few shots are fired a little to our left. Our flankers return tho Are. One flanker and two or tiiree horses fall. A com­ pany of bushwhackers are prowling near. In five minutes there was not a sight. We add one more the roadside, and awake. The following night we rest­ ed in tiie mud under a cloudless sky, and sticli as slept at ail slept soundly. Several never woke to the duties of lauother day. We had rested on the jsod that covered Confederate enemies, for we were in a field of their dead. But those peaceful graves had burled every entnity and eoverod overy re­ sentment. As we gazed upon those vudc mounds, I confess to a pang of re­ gret that I had ever warred with the mouldering duat beneath my feet. ' M. M. V. (Tb&e Continued,) promptly attended to.^ If In A.

No sleep for us, but formed In a square we waited--yea, We watched and we watted for the morn­ ing. Sometimes the hoot of an owl or the blaze of a gun woke the tedious monotony of the solitude of tlie wilder­ ness. But tiie worried brain that could not sleep, refused to be still. Homes were not forgotten; stirring In­ cidents ot tlie march, ploke*«ud battle Vcenes were passiug In memory's re­ view, and we fain would press the hands of comrades whose pulses were now&tiiinnd hands were cold. The grey dawn of morning never was more welcome. Tlie sun came out bright and clear, and there was not a Confed­ erate nor a trace of one to be seen. They fired their last shots at about one o'clock, A. M.. and' made that irk­ some lorrest ring with their demoniac yeli6. A few exhausted men dl«d dur­ ing the night, but there were no cas­ ualties* by gunshot wounds. Quite early in the day a few scrawny beeves were overhauled and slaught­ ered. They were miserably poor, hides lousy and bones slimy. We had no (>alt, no hard tack, but a little corn, and no coffee. A Frenchman stole a puppy from a negro oabin, others se­ cured two or three old Billy goats and one solitary gander, that in the long ago hadseeu far inure toothsome and mellower days. This made up the mess. That ineal was hoaven's choic­ est gift to us. One gallant fellow who had received a skull fracture at the battle of Mans­ field, wasstili with us, but flighty. He eai.g sangs, plead law, and drew lessons of practical utility from the storm, from the echo of sound aud even from the lowy beef hides. His fancies were generally com'eal, but often sober aud thoughtful. He often laughed at sight of tiie dead, and agaiu tlie tear of sym­ pathy would trickle down Ills ema­ ciated cheek. Poor fellow; he Jour­ neyed with us to Grand E Core, and was seen no more. Doubtless the dark waters of tbe river became that veteran's witiding sheet. Tlie w.lfe and the little daughter in the old Bay State who awaited his coining, nover learned hlssad fate. And still another crazed brain imagined he was David Crockett and that his home was Ken­ tucky. Hrf declared that so much rain was because the,machinery of the sun was out of order and was not properly oiled. That something must be done at once or the world would be drowned again. This soldier, was a hero bom. He was the pet and the prld? of his command, but he, too, had fought his last battle, aud on a stormy night, by the light om pine knot, we laid him to rest.

The following Is a copy of the cele­ brated Prisoners, of war Pension Bill 4,495, introduced iu the House or Repre­ sentatives by Gen. J. W. Keifer. M. C. from tiie 4th Ohio District and uow {lending before the Senate. Committee on Pensions, Mr. Keifer, by unanimous content In­ troduced the following #Bili. A BILL. Granting pensions to certain Union soldiers aud sailors of the late war of the rebellion who were confined In so-called Confederate prisons. Whereas, during the late rebellion many soldiers and sailors of the* Fed­ eral Army and Navy, through the fortunes of war, became prisoners and were confined In so-ca'Ied Con­ federate prison*, to tlie detriment and permanent injury of their health, but whose debiMty Is of such a gen­ eral.and ind°fiiiable character as to exclude tlie in from the benefits of existing |»ension s laws; Therefore, lie it enacted by the Senate at<d //ottse of liepresentative* of the t nited State* of America in Congrens assembled, I'hat the Secretary of the Interior be, and hereby is, authorized'and required to place upon tiie Pension rolls of the United States, upon application and proof being made to the satisfaction of the Department, all honorably dis­ charged soldiers of the Federal Army and Navy who, during the late war, were captured and confined, during tlie period of tiiree months or more. In any of tlie prisons or places cotnmouiy used fof the eonflnment of prisoners by the •so-called Confederate authorities dur- during the late rebellion, and who are not now beneficiaries, nor entitled to become so under now existing pension laws of the United States Sec. 2. That such pension shall In each case begin from the date of the discharge of tiie soldier or sailor afore­ said from tlie'military or naval service of the United States, and shall be at tiie rate of eight dollars per month in cases where the term of imprisonment u moro tUau three mouths tr per mont«addltW.ui ttmiiwof sue#imprisonment iS 'exCeis of one year. And such pensions siiail be paid at the same time aud In lite same manner as other pensions nr« paid: Provided, That nothing In this act shall he construed to authorize the reduction or to prevent tlie increase of tiie penslou of any person now receiv­ ing or entitled to receive the beueflts ol existing pensions. An important Deelalon for Pensioner* Secretary Kirk wood made « declaforftews were made, and when July 12th, In regard to the payment of pensions to soldiers at the Homes throughout the country that will be of Interest to soldiers. The case is pred­ icated upon an application of a Soldier named Woodsworth, who left the Hampton Home while his case was. pending before the pension ottyoe. II« was notftled by tlie Governor to return* or else, should his pension be granted during his absence, he would forfeit his claim. Woadworth refused to re­ turn, and In the meantime his pension was allowed by the Pension Odlce and the money turned over, with sums be­ longing to other parties, to the Gover­ nor for disbursement to the pensioners Woodwork* was refused Ills pension money by the Governor, and he there­ upon fpplied to the Secretary of the Interior for his opinion. The matter was referred to Col. Baxter, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the In­ terior Department, and the opinion prep^rpd by him was yesterday adopt­ ed by tlie Secretary as hit ruling In tiie case. After an extended review of the case, he says: "The pension law points to the pensioners as tbe sole henefloiary, and, in all cases not ex­ cepted by special statue makes pay­ ment directly to him compulsory by the agent's. The act of February di­ rected payment of certain pensions to the treasurers of the Home, but guards also Its disbursements as strictly and solely fur his benefit, without deduc­ tion. The pension belongs to the pension­ er and not to the Home. He. and not the Home, therefore, should be entit­ led to receive it." / ' Dr. Spitskn *• an Expert on luiaanNy.
