Ths Horrobs of War.—We make the fol
lowing extract from a communication of a
member of the ‘ Savannah Relief Committee’’
now ministering to the sick and wound* and in
Gen Johnston’s army. It is a frightful pic
ture of the dreadful sufferings brought about
by this war :
That you may understand more definitely
what we are now doing, let us carry you to
one of those long mournful trains of rough
wagons, tilled with wounded soldiers, the broth
ers, sons, husbands and fathers of our land. a*
they are arriving in the square of this once
quiet, flourishing town—now a military station
and hospital—the advance of the train reach
ing here in the early evening hour, and the rear
far in the night, or even until morning dawn.
Immediately they begin to discharge their
mangled, bleeding, suffering cargo. Among
them you find poor fellows wounded in almost
every way and place. Here is one with his
th gh, knee or arm crushed, soon to bo under
the Surgeon’s knife ; another with his rigst ieg
amputated above the knee and <c his left leg a
terrible wound. Auotbei has an arm off cior
to the shoulder, and several other wnutrds i .
different places. Another has both arms bro
ken. A-k? of both of which may require ampu
tation.
Another offer sdjTerer has a largo hq'.e

distressing sound issues from LT capiSs, TOtftfd.
instead of the mouth ; but soon after {■si'iff lift
ed from the wagon he is relieved from his suf
ferings here. Another sufferer with his right
firm off near the shoulder his a high fever and
just as he is lifted from the wagon he has a
strong convulsion and thru faints away, so
that with difficulty be can be revived with the
strongest stimulants. Here is another, with a
dreadful bullet hole through his fare, his jaw
bone crushed, his tongue cut and hanging
from his mouth, black and swollen, so as eii
tirely to fill his mouth—a horrid looking sight
Another has his skull terribly fractured, from
which the brains are Oozing ; and here another
with both eyes out; here we find another with
the fatal Minie ball far buried in bis chest ;
an«l still another noble fi llow. a powerful frame',
with bis left thigh crashed uwfuiiy by a soii<i
cannon ball, and a frightful guru across his
throat, so that what he drinks passes throuch

The effect of financial ruin upon the North
cannot be measured by the results of a similar
catastrophe among the Southern people. We
are invaded and ate fighting on the liefeurive.
he cannot heip fighting, and, therefore, sub
mitting to all tile inconveniences, financial and
otherwise, that fighting entails. The Yankees
are fighting an aggressive war. They are not
obliged to coalmue the contest, therefore,
when the war entails on them a tithe of tho
inconveniences we nave already suffered they
will tie clamorous for peace. They will never
submit as we have to a depreciation oi the cur
rency. They will never consent to fund their
money three dollars for two in bonds of Chase's
tuaking at a low rate of interest. They will not
rest easy under a rise of five or six hundred
percent, iu the prices of pi irneJueeessaries.Tbey
nave a vast population ot mechanics, factory
operatives and workingman, who would starve
under a system of inflated prices and compar
atively lo.v wages. H nice, a financial "smash
up” at the North would br.ng about a tremen
dous reaction against the war, wkiie we could
continue our defence twenty years situated ns
we now are.
It is thought here that the deprecation of the
currency in the Un ted States cannot take that
sow and gradual course that has characterized
the movement in tho Confederacy. The finan
ces will break down suddenly with a great
ci ash. The largest mercantile houses will be
swept awny panic will reign in Wall-street, and
all the important money centres’ society, as
well as busn ess, will be totally disorganized
for a period, aud the Government will be like
ly to topple over in the general chaos. To this
end, the United States seems to be hurrying

“machine’’ exploded. Theexplosion “set off ’
the othet three, and as may be supposed the
four “set off” the building and its contents at
a rapid rate through the air.
One hundred men. including twenty negroes,
were “within raDge” of the missiles, of whom
sixty three were instantly killed, the rest
wounded. Amongst the killed is a notorious
Yankee viiltan Lieut. Willis. We learn, also
that Hezekiah Davis, an aid citizen of that
neighborhood, was present and got killed.
At the scene of the disaster it is said the Yan
kees had erected a tall tower or to kout, in
the top of which a Yankee was at the time
posted. The tower suddenly disappeared and
if the sentinel on that tower has yet been fonnd
our informant has not heard of it.
The exp'osion was heard twenty miles, and
created great consternation in the gar

signal guns wS?f fired, and every preparation
was quickly made to meet the Rebels. Such
a scene of wild contusion is said to have exist

FIGHT OF FRIDAY NIGHT.
From noon until four o’clock heavy skir
mishing c manned, wh r all became a min :r i
tivoly quiet. But soon after nightfall tho ene
my attempted a night assault ou our tines,
hoping, no doubt, that they would take us ’ v
surprise Their first effort was directed >.«; •»
Breckinridge, and was made w-ih t rritde .-a
orgy. For awhile the caution Ming and mus
ketry fire was terrific—one continuous sheet of
flv.no—and shot aud shell fell like hail. \
| gentleman who witnessed it. leiis us that th*
] iimmination was so brilliant Shat it suip.is-e i
j even any pyrotechnic display he ever saw. But
j the enemy were quickly repulsed, our m-n
j driving them hack and occupying their p i
J vancect liiit-s. They are said to have sufferc I
| severely, the fire of our men making wide i;.*.ps
!iu their tanks. Our Joss is said to' have been
| been trifling.

The enemy did not renew his assault on
; Saturday, aud tho operations of the two armies
(luring that day were confined to skirmishing
|-SATURDAY NIGHT—TEW ENEMY RENEWS HIS 'AS
SAULT.
| On Saturday night, about eight' o’clock, the
j enemy, though repulsed in all the previous
| ti-wauiU. attempted another attack on Brcckin
i ridge’s lines The occasion of their lepcuted
cflorls in carry uis position is understood to
i be owing to the tact that Breckinridge's line
extends across a I'o .and between them and tiie
James river, which the enemy wish to get
possession of. i his last assault is said to have
; been feeble. It was maiiu on tho same salient
j Tvliieh had been previously contested, but was
• ieobie and abortive. The lino came witbi»
j Pa rty y .ids, and were then broken by our fire.

OPERATIONS OS' SUNDAY. '
I Nothing occurred oil bun. Jay between the
two arm.es, except occasional skirmishing along
file iiu.es. A gentleman who left the front
yestiud iy at. one o’cbek, reports that some
skirkinisbing was going on, but our army were
engaged in burying the enemy’s dead, and at
tending to the i'aiikee wounded.
it was reported in our army that Butler bad
eft.'eted aji-t etion with Grant. Another rumor
brought in last night was that Grant was fail
ing hack in tue direction of tho Pamunkey, but
we failed to get any ooufirmation of this re
port.
GRANTS NEW LINE.
The new line of the ceiny is about two and
a half miles below the MccbaairsviJlo tirnpike,
towards the Pamunkey river. Grant is. there
fore, in posit on to go either to ilia white llcuso,
towards Malvern Iliil in order to cross the
Jamis river, or to move again to our right,
which, it is reported Tuesday evening, that lie
is attempting.

THE BRAVEST AND THE TEX'DF.REST.

day night, 3d instant, on account of (he death
of his favorite, horse, that had borne him since
the battle of Shiloh.
A CO' FI AG RATION' IN BATTLE.
Tire battle of tne Wilderness was fierce
j almost beyond precedent in Northern Vir
! giriia, tor there our forces were compelled
jto light both fire and the enemy. Whetli
|er 1 intentionally or not. is not known,
j the woods were s* t on fire along t.'ie Yan
kee lines ill the midst of the battle, which J
! raged as fiercely es tho battle itself, and j
through which our free s charged and whipped •
the fi e. The effect of tb“ heat and smoko eon: -
fcined was intense and almost unfiiica'.irg, mid j
ntSHV of our men were - overcome—some of j
them fainting ami falling to tbe ground. Bu:. i
In the face of this great obstaole ihe victory
was gained over vastly superior numbers and
the army of the Potomac was driven from the
fieid, leaving ail of iis dead and many of Its
wounded in our bands.
If tbe woods were purposely fired, as many
of the prisoners state, the act was one of incon
ceivable cruelty and inhuman tv ; if not, the
enemy should have paid more attention to his
| wounded, and not have left th' ia to burn to
death- That many of them suffered death by
fire is a well estalffsbed fact, affirmed by the
officers ar.d men throughout our entire c.rmv.
In hundreds, of instances somesuffering Yankee
would cry out in the very anguish of h's soul
to be removed from belore the raging flames,
tine, whenever such was practicable, our men
rendered too nccc.-seay assistance, but often,
indeed,, in the very heat of battle, they won
unable to do this. It ws an awful sight to see
a fellow mortal barning up before their eyes
even though he were a foe, but it was one of
the for'unes’of war, and the net of the enemy,
it is t.nimaied that hundreds of the enemy’s
wounded, ami even some of our own, wi re
thus burned to death. The loss of the or,rev j
in tliis battle was very great. IRu woanded
lay upon the ground tor .eyeinl days, and his
dead yet cover tbe field by thousands. Grant. ,
mud' no f fieri to Duty them, an.l Lee would
not tire his men with the work, in view of the '
coming op< rations. There they lie, aul there .
their bodies wiil moulder to dust and their
bones bleach beneath tbe storms and sunshine.
From tub Talley,— A battle took place fie
veu miles from Staunb n on Sunday. The Tan
ia s were com ■ .u.iic 1 by Gen. Hunter, our
forces by Brig. Gro. Junes. The enemy’s force
was ba rely superior to that under Geu. Jones,
red though tho latter made a most gallant
fight, was lit illy overpowered. Jonefi himself,
baring mortally wounded. The suppoit cx-
P'-Litc •> not arriving, the remnant of his band
retreated, leaving the main road to Staunton
at (he enemy's disposal. That they entered
the place th r\and committed their usual de
prodations. Fen i have been sent to look af
ter tho Yankee rtt'tlers.
