Kirby Smith had entered Kenturkv at the Lead of an invading’ host of Confederate Soldiery. His well trained infantry and almost peeilrss cavalry gave promise of success to the mission upon which iie had been sent bv the functionaries whom he s- rved. It was a bright day in early autumn, and the snn slmne with a brilliancy unsurpass ed even 13 Italy’s fair dune, that the Confederate chieftain found himself and followers upon the summit of what is kuotvn as Big Hill, which overlooks the beautiful and picturesque vallev that forms the eastern boundary of the famous Bine grass region. The scene in the vallev was in some respects siiniliar to that presented to view on the 1 ill, but differed materially as to the design of the warriors who were en camped on its surface near the base of the hill. They were Federal soldiers. The Confederate General Had determ ined to attempt the dislodgemei t of the enemy in the valley, without which fie could not penetrate the rich region beyond ; and for this purpose lie or dered Gen. Scott, with Ins fa nous brig ade of cavalry, to proceed at once ? n I assail them in front while he, in person, would lead tiie infantry to his support. Onward dashed the van which was Ld by a voting lieutenant of the name of Jackson, of Murfreesboro, Term. They advanced rapidiy and with the precision of Wfcll-di«cipiiued warriors to the on slaught, but were not with a dc-adiy vtdiey of musketry front the unerring aim of their adversaries, which caused them to recoil and fall back in disor der. The attack was renewed the se* eotid time with greater energy than the first, but with no better success. — Thus, after repeated assaults, in each of which the assailants were repulsed with heSvy loss, they silently with drew' to aw ait the promised assistance, it was soon ascertained, however, that the urdu body of the infantry could not be brought into action before the 1 >1" iawing morning, and. as this delay might enable the Federal commander to pr icure reinforcements, and thus lessen the chance of success the Con federate chieftain determined as a last i flT>rt to attempt a ff.tnk movement. Accordingly an impetuous charge was made miun the left flank of tlu» r» which threw them into confusion, and, being composed chiefly of ra\y levies, all attempts made by the Federal offi cers t i rally them were of no avail; a r treat, was the only alternative left them, which soon terminated in a com plete rout. Thus was achieved one of those victories which cost the lives of many brave men, besides ’.he loss in wounded, among whom was Lieut. Jackson. In leading the charge which turned tiv° enemy’s flank he n cei u ed a ball to the left arm, completely shatter ing the bone, and from loss of blood he soon (eil from his horse and waslefioa the field. Titus had ended the bloody contest which is known tu history as the battle of Richmond, Kv. Thu enemy had fought hard, hut bad 'fought tu vain; ami at nightfall they | retreated, broken and in con fusion, j hoitv pursued by their victorious foe, and many were made captives. As night fell the full orbed moon soared aloft and poured a flood of mellow light upon the field of carnage. Over the weird plains that intervene between Big liill and Richmond, covered with the wounded and dying, the battle fmg of the South floated . proudly in tiie fight of tiie calm September moon. Among that gallant band of Federal troopers, was a young captain of the name of Grayhatn, whose home was but a few miles distant from the scene of the conflict iu*t described. As Captain Gray ham lias a sister who is tit-sillied to play a prominent part in oar sketch, we will introduce her to the reader's notice. Saliie Gray ham, at th it time of which we write, was a very worthy and amiable young lady of eighteen summers, at whose shrine of beauty and lovliness many an ardent swain desired to kneel. On the evening in which the memorable battle just referred to was fought, iss Gray liain, together with her mother, set upon the veranda, in front ot their stalely residence, in anxious tion of snine*!'isilors who had promts ed to eoine th itevening. Captain Gray ha in had told liis sisler that he would bring wii !i him to his home that evening an esteemed friend, a young and hand some Lieutenant that belonged to his company. No wonder thei* s*’e gazed, long and wistfully down the avenue which led to the public highway ; no wonder her mother gently reproved her for plucking some flowers, in an absent way, from the trailing vines that fes tooned the portico ; and no it she felt aggravated at her brother be ing go and latory. There are very fl. w, under similar circumstances, but would have acted as did Miss Gray bain on the occasion referred to. While td'e and her moth er were thus engaged, the tirst volley of tnuskeirv was hearJ in the -opening u: the ba me of Lichmond, which told ion plainly that the work of carnage, l!o;t was soon to deioge the beautiful oi ins of H chnicvid with blood, had • commenced. Who can describe tiie agonizing feelings of that mother, or the look of deeo despair overspread the countenance of that sister, when the real truth dawned upon them? It was with difficulty that Mrs. Grayhatn could prevent Iter daughter from living; to the field of carnage, to be uear that brother through the sanguinary con flict, to minis’er to his wants, should he he wounded ; or should fate decree j that his life be offered a sacrifice at his l country’s altar, to secure his body and consign it to its last renting place be-, neuih the willow which grew fresh and green in the old family cemetery. — But by extracting a promise from her mother that she might visit the battle j field as soon as the carnage hud ceased, j site restrained herself, and awaiting i with impatience, gave vent to her fee! r ings in a flood of tears. Darkness had spread her sable mantle over tho land scape hefore the conflict entirely ceas ed. It was late at nfijht when Miss Gray hath thiew herself upon her couch; and tt was in vJui that she tried to j slumber. The scenes which had prob- | ably been enacted on the bloody plains j of Richmond arose up so vividly to fore her imagination as to preclude all | hope of sleep on that eventful night. — J Long before the suit had made its ap pearance above the eastern foils. Miss Gravham, accompanied by her mother and a f itthful servant, was out upon the highway leading toward Richmond The journey was soon performed, but on their arrived at Richmond, instead of meeting, as they had dared to hope, the men whom they regarded as the brave defenders of their country, they were greeted upon every side by the j gr;.yclad warriors. Alter searching in vain among the captives for her brother. Miss Grayhatn applied for ar.d obtained permission from the general commanding lb visit the battle ground, whither site immediately repaired, and which she diligently searched for her brother, but in vain. Hope now look die place of suspense. It was possible tie might ha«e been more fortunate than many of his feiunv soldiers. With this buoyant hope resting in her bosom our lair heroine took her leave, but on passing the scene of the conflict in which her fricmi had been defeated, she beheld a Confederate soldier, who ap peared to be Ftiffiiring from a severe wound, and approached him. Site Minin discovered that he was an officer of some positior, but being little ac quainted with Confederate military (1 ress, she could not distinguish h:s ttiisgni iof rank. Prompted by a desire tu alleviate the rtifferings of any who might be so unfortunate as to require assistance, site had him taken tip and placed iti her carriage, and, with the permission of the General comm Hilling, conveyed him to her mother's residence where she had him properly cared fir, and administered to his wains with her own fair hands. The reader will doubtless recognize .Miss Grayham’a charge, who was none oilier than Lieutenant Jackson, of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, whose poor widowed moth er ami fatherless sister were wholly ignorantof hit misfortune. Miss Gray ham had the family physician called to attend her charge, who declared that amputat'on would be necessary before the wound, with . which Lieutenant Jackson was suffering, could be cured. This was accordingly done, and, after mativ week’s suffering and patient en durance, the Lieutenant was restored to health ; hut during his illness the Confederate forces were driven from the State, and he thus found himself in an enemy’s country with hut compara tively few friends to the cause w hich he had so nobly espoused, lie had formed an attachment for tfie fair being who had been so kind to him. and to whom he probably owed his life—a friendship which was fast lipening into a stronger passion. But could he hope to win the love of one to whom he was a public enemy? lie tried to banish the image of his love from his heart, but it seemed to cling the more closely to it. In a short time he was called to go forth for exchange, hut he could not leave the presence of ttic ta;r being whom lie now secretly worshiped, without confessing his love. With feelings better imagined than described, he presented himself before the idol of his passion and j>.Hired out the tale of liis secret love with all the pathos of an ardent devote. Instead of being rejected, as was his natural supposition, she bid him hope, on the condition that he Would renounce the Confederate cause, and resume his allegiance to the Government of the United States.—- Revolting as was the condition on which he might gain the hand of his idol in manage, our hero yielded, not, however, without hesitating long be tween love and dutv. He knew that he was physically disabled front further service as a soldier in the service of his country, auJ it was to this considera tion that he owed his decision. Ac cordingly, upon his arrival at the metropolis of the tstate, he obtained permission, and - subscribed to the Pres ident’s amnesty oath, after which he returned to the home of his betrothed, where we wi’l (cave them for the preseat, happy tu their new born love and proceed to chronicle other scenes con meted woh our story, l \ lew months subsequent to the NO. 13. opening scenes of 'air sketch* the Fed* erai army in me Southwest Was put in nil.;iuii to dislodge that ot the Loafed' crate army, then encamped «n ll.u banks of Stone river, in the vicinity ot Murfreesboro, Veuncsswi.

The conflict was opened with great spirit and determination, by the ad vanced columns of Federal troopers*, ami met with great obstinacy by tfsa Confederates, under General Bragg.--- As. it is not our purpose to give in de tail the scenes of that great conflict, we refer our readers to history, upon whose pagas is recorded the details ot the great battle, known in history *« tfie battle of Stopo-River, or boro. Suffice it for our purpose to say that after the conflict ceased and tho wounded were gathered from the field of carnage, it was discovered that Captain Gray ham was numbered n rnong them. In being consigned to tho various hospitals tn .\lurlreosboro ami Nashville, it became a matter of c flows* * with the wounded which they should select, nod as Captain Gravham desired remaining as tiear the seat ot war as wu3 consistent with prudence, he was transferred to .Murfreesboro. Alter he had been in the hospital for some days, suffering for the most common necessa ries of life. there appeared at the side of hi3 sick couch, a young lady of tender feelings who seemed dcsirnu«« t rendering assistance to the su fibre ra gathered there. Her heart was touched .with pitv at tho sight of Captain Gray ham. She visited the hospital almost daily, and each time she carried some little luxury, prepared by her ori hands, and gave it to Capt. Grayhsm. At length, after many weary weeks at suffering, fie recovered sufficiently tu ’be able to walk a short distance tacit dav. During one of Lis promenades through the street! of Murfreesboro tut accidentally conic upon the residence of the lovely maiden to whoso tender aid he probably owed his life, ile al most involuntarily entered, and spent some hours in conversation with the family in whom he had become some what interested. After partaking of amne refreshments which had been served bv tits servant, he took hi* departure with a pressing invitation, from tlte young maiden and her mother to call again on the morrow, it is | needless to say that Captain Gray hum I accepted the invitation. lie became a frequent visitor at the home ul this Jmr damsel, and a warm friendship soon sprang up between them which wav fast ripening into a stronger sentiment. Winter with its drcririess soon pass ed away, ami spring returned, and with it came a letter to Captain Giavhata from his sister, requesting him to come home, if possible, in early summer, as she was lobe married, and wanted him to be present on the occasion. Imagin'* his surprise on reading the nanicoi the nersott to whom his bister was to be united. It was Lieutenant Jackson, of the Confederate army. He hastened to the side ofThe fair maiden whom ha had learned to love, and who also bore the name of Jackson, to ascertain if they were any relation. M illie Jackson, for such was liiu name of the young lady in question, was almost overcome with joy on hear ing that her brother still lived, for sh« hail tric'd in vain to gain sum ; clue as t» Ins mysterious disappearance. In early June Captain Grayhatn obtained leave of absence, ar.d, accompanied by M;«* Jacksuii, started for his home, at which pbee they in duo time arrived. The wedding was a brilliant afl ,ir. Every thing that hears could wish or wealth procure graced the grand festival. After the invited guests had taken their departure. Lieutenant Jackson anil his lovely bride, accompanied by Captain Grayhatn and his fair fiancee, paid a visit to the bailie field of Rich mond, Ivy., and there together, beneath tiie umbrageous foliage of a stalely elm, they talked over the scenes of that memorable battle. A few days after ward Captain Grayhatn and Miss Jack* son took their departure, the former to the discharge of his duties as an officer in the army of the Republic, and the latter to her home ainoug the romantic hills of Tennessee. Some years have elapsed since these events transpired. The war, which was then raging between tho’Northern and Southern sections of the United States, has coded, with the triumph of the Federal arms, but peace has not been established in accordance with the demands of justice. The conquered section is, even at this late day, when nearly throe-fourths of the nineteenth century have passed away, still groan ing under a military despotism, m<jra intolerable than auV which Was ever placed over Poland by Russia, or Hungary by Austria.
