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!
