I of One of the Most Desperate
Contents of the War.
fOor Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.]
The battle on Friday evening was an
miroxysm. Gon. Hosecrans most
JagSildt “The firing was terrific

more rapidly than they had ad-
Smced. In forty minutes they lost 2,000
B %e legions of the enemy poured out
Jm the Plain In countless multitudes,
compact,.and powerful. They re-
JSed a mars of dense gray clouds mov-
fTjjong the surface, as you may see
banks of mist rolling through the
Hers or upon mountain declivities,
fkfr polished muskets gleamed like
Sgbed brass, and their parti-colored
wale-flags iluttercd haughtily in the
Their batteries wheeled swiftly
Juposition. It seemed as if a wall of
JjJcould hardly resist those somber
JJbus. They marched to slaughter
JSimaguiflcent diring, and met a wall
i leave hearts tha * iron and lead and
jj-jcould not movtv
A hundred cannon now belched forth
^thunder. The atmosphere was trem-
juji with the terrific vibration. The
firing of artillery and the treble rattle of
gjhSry thrilling along the lines as if in-
Srahlo keys of harsh instruments
ttobled under the agency of terrible
lifer; crash of .solid shot and shell; I
JlM of grape and canister; thick vol-
jueiof smoke which enveloped tho com*
htants and dispersed in a thin canopy of
Kokh vapor; dying men and mangled
horses, dismounted cannon and shattered
ciissons, distributed in shocking diversity
over the field: tho frantic career of the
ridarless steeds; tho splendid sweep of
ge.wrals and their staff ofiiccrs over the
feartul plain, conspired to create a scene
of indescribable and terrific sublimity.
No human language is fit to depict it. It
was all under the scope of vision—the
marching hosts, the magnificent tactical
display, the dreadful panoply, tho ap
palling destruction of human beings.
The rattle of musketry tearing along the
lines sounded like the noise of ripping
canvass when the black squall suddenly
strikes the unprepared ship. In our own
lines there was no voice but the voice of
command. Wen went down with fearful
wounds, but made no outcry—for men do
not shriek on the field of battle. Dumb
brutes neighed in their agony. A horse
with a leg torn away moaned with more
than human radios. Solid shot crashed
through the bones of men and horses, and
it seemed as if glass was being shivered.
Steeds, riderless, frantic with anguish,
wild with the furious tumult, were bound
ing over the field with desperate energy,
seeking to fly from peril. Hundreds were
torn to shreds. A single shell crushed
through three noblo beasts, and piled them
in dreadful confusion under a shattered
timber. A solid shot rebounded from a
gun with a clang like a brazen bell, and
carried awny tho head of a charger.
Eighty horses were killed at a single bat*
toy.
Excepting in the front line, where the
men stood up with almost superhuman
firmness, the troops RJo bugging the soil,
prone upon their bellies, But even here
the round shot of tho enemy plowed
through the ranks, tearing ono to shreds
here, another there, yonder a man riven
and scattered by six pounds of iron, so
that scarce a bone was left to testify that
there had been a man—some blood,
Ratified by the People!
