! null oornmonood once more tha march
on Corinth
The left wine* of the fe leral lino
tvas commanded hv G in. I’op*. Tim
whole line had moved forward from
the river, and was noariny Corinth nt
the rule of a quarter of a mile n dav.
Hnlleck did not propose to take any
rlmncps. H" movetl a division a mile
or t*o, nntl then had to throw tip
breastworks. The next dav, other por- ,
tions would move up to the same line j
nnd entrench themselves. Tn this way,
ITulleek would, hv this time have i
reached the Mississippi river.
I was with Pope on the left. Wo
had pushed out from Hamburg:, nnd,
in time, had (rotten hi front of Farm
infrfon. The latter was occupied hy
the confederates, hut not in large
force.
The next day. Pope sent forward a
heavy column, which took posession
of Ftirmin.ton after some little fi";ht
ing. That night, I went hack to Pope s
headquarters. There was nothing to
eat in the town; nnd its few wretched
dwellings were filled hv our soldiers
A small force only was left to move
up a strong column the next dav with
a view to the permanent occupancy of I
the town.
When I reached Pope’s quarters. I
found a stranger who brought a letter
of introduction to me who hnd come
out to represent the New York World
He was an Englishman, of some 24
or 2(3 years of ago. He lmd the
full, muscular form, the large limbs,
squarejaw, and solid face characteristic
of the average Johnny Bull.
Ho had just taken the position of n
war correspondent anil had never
seen a battle, 1 found him however to
he well educated possessed of literary
tastes, and nn extensive traveler 1
introduced him to our mess, and he
was soon given a position.
The next morning, rcciile was given
after an unexpected fashon. Instead
of the usual clatter of bands there was
the sullen roar of a gun, followed by
the exit Delating beat oi the long roll,
in every direction. Going to the ex
trnnee of the tent I found that every
thing was in commotion. The pirten
tous long roll was heard on every side.
The regiment could be seen (ailing in
to lino behind their stacked arms.
Buglers were sounding over toward
the cavalry camp; orderlies were
galloping hither and thither; and the
air was tilled with cries of “Fail in
there! “l ively, men! ’ and the rattle
of harness as hoises wore being hitch
ed to the batteries.
Daylight had come suffleient'y to
permit objects to he visible a hail mile
or so away. I had no need ot asking
any of the officer- who’ buckling their
swords, ami completeing their toilets
as tliev can, were hurrying to the
places, what was the matter. On to the
west there was heard tho-a dull and
irregular detunation which even tile
tyro could nut fail to recognize as
cannonading. '1 "c direction was tlmt
of Farmington, and I knew, at once,
that the confederates were attacking
the column which had been leit "to
bold the place.
For several days it had been tinder
stood by Pope’s men that the firing of
a cannon at headquators was a signal
to get under units without fu.thcr
orders. It was the roar of this signal
gun which hml broken up the s.umbers
of our camp, and bad scut every man
into Jto-.it ioll.
Certain regiments, batteries, and
cavalry wore put under motion at once
and dispatched to the relief of the
hands ul of troops at Farmington. A
column of reserves was sent iorward
a little later, and the remainder of
the force was ordered to fluid itself in
readiness to march tit a moment’s
notice. This gave opportunity fur
breakfast, oil'which those who rein.lin
ed wore not slow to avail themselves.
I was among the number. I pre
ferred coffee, beef, and hard-tack to
vritnes: iig 41 fight on a # n l it > 1.111 a 1
English friend a.so coi*clu icd
to wait for coffee. He had arisen
when the gun sounded, and had since
be n watching with a good uoal of
intentness the busy preparations, and
listening to the di-tinot cannonading
at Farmington. Ho seeumd intent,
and no more. His dull, gray eyo did
not kindle, on his cheesy complexion
flush, under the excitement.
He was as impassive as au old trav- |
eler would he iu watching the antics
ol a cage of monkeys at a menagerie.
Breakfast was finished ; and about
8 o’clock, Mr. Bull—that was not his
name —and myselt mounted a couple
ol horses and started lor the extreme
front.
The main road was filled with t'-oops
all moving westward. The scattering
ami desultory cannonading of the
early morning had swollen into a
steady and almost unbroken roar,
showing that tlio fresh troops stmt
forward h and gone into action. Its
volumn, and the fact that it was con-
stant tly increasing proved that it was
no skirmish hut a hi avy tight that it as
taking place. The confederates had
evidently attacked ia force with the
intention of annihilating the troops left
in charge of Farmington ; and in con
sequence, reinforcements were hurried
I forward with the utmost possible
rapidity.
i Bull and myself pushed on as rapid
ly as the condition of the road would
permit. Just then, there occurod to
mo a very brilliant notion. My
English friend had never soon a battle;
and consequently, tiad never been
under fire I was somewhat of a vete
ran ; and I concluded it would boa
capital joke to take my companion into
j the fight fir fO-iough to frijfit m him
'thoroiirhlv. an 1 to st vun.il" him.
My lively ionvr!nation alma ly took in
the snoot vole of his hnrly so ’m. aa he
fl -w, like an >ther T Tin Gilnin, from
i the hi Icon i carnival of death that
roarer! behind hi n.
I am s iMiewhat clear in the recol
lection that I hal a very heartv in
, ward chuckle as I thus saw hi u in
fancy flving mallv to the rear, his
‘ form will forwirl tithe horse’s tnvne
his heal hatless, an l his eminent I’ina
ovpTvnsive r»f dm»llv terror. I hurst
into a roar of laughter, aril which I
| hastened to explain to mv companion
as having reference to the antics of a
balky mule team.
Tn a little while, we reached the
line of reserves. It was drawn ud in
order of battle, with its left protected
by a stream an 1 its right by douse
impassable timber. On some ridges
batteries were distribute l «n 1 in a
hollow, a short distance hetiind the
line, was gathered a regiment of ear
nin'.
Immediately in front of this line of
battle was a dense swamp, through
w'nch ran a corduroy road, an 1 which
loti to Farmington. It was the only
road that lei to the place, nnl wis so
narrow that it was especially unfitted
either for a 1 vane vs or retreat. The
logs forming the roa l were some
ten or twelve feet in lougtli. Along
side of this roa 1 were ditches filled
with water and oozy mud. On either
side extended the swamp, covered
with timber, an l utterly impassable 1
even for a footman.
We passed through the lino of re
serves, and entered the east end of the
cut through the swamp. Tito dis
tancethrough was perhaps three fourths
of a mile. Beyond, the ground was
higher, ami cleared. In this op-m
space was Fanningtun, anl there was
where the battle was raging.
Looking through the vista of the
swamp vve could see a (louse smoke,
in which wore the outlines ol the fig
ures of men and horsos. We could
see the vivid dashes of cannon as they
tore through the smoke; and w ro
now so close ta.it the incessant rattle
of small arms was distinctly heard,
through the sonorous aud quaking
clartn tr of the batteries
As we entered the camp it was cora
parutively vacant. All the reinforce
ments that lmd been ordered through
had gone forward Ambulances
were Coming and going; a trooper
da-thed by us, U"W uni then, as
iar.t as t'oo log-road would permit; and
at intervals we met some soldi'T.s cov
eted with blood, who was mounted on
mule, or supported by soipe companion
am uas positing lor the rear. Dio
l :t .g ambataacos were filled with
ghuot.y laces an l bloody uui onus
Now and t ien. a tidcrl-s horse galloped
wildly lrum out the smoke, and with
distended nostrils ami swinging stir
rups clattering iuriously an uy from
tiio hell in trout of us.
These little occurrences were all
watched cuiiously by my cotnpiuiou;
but they seemed to iiuve no paiticul.tr
I oii'eet on him.
Was it not about time he should
begin to scare a uttie t
We wore about liaif way through

to my companion :
“i say, Bull, we re getting licked !”
Contrary to my expectations, his re

then there was a long swinging scream
over our head, a.-, it some iniguty pow
er had swung tar 'Ug.i space lire lash
ot some gigantic wmp.
‘* vv’nat s tnat t asked Bull, as he
su Idonly jemed his ucad upward.
“ihat, my lrieud, is wuat they call

teiy out there that s been planted to

1 scanned somewhat anxiously the
face ol Mr. liuh as 1 imparted this in
formation. Considerably to my disgust,
it secured to a.feet about as much as
would tire remark tnat there was a fly
in his saddle bags.
In desperation, l give one more

and thou took a prolonged pull at uiv

The crowd at the further eal grew

“Bii'l. if we »*et ameng these fellows

Mr. Bull inftitnatod that ho thought
not.
Then came a missile with a lash of

The throng thickend about us. We
were unshed hither nnd thither. Shelia
tore through the cedars at our right

houghs. The air was alive with shells
and round shot. Frantic horses tore

in mad retreat, threatening nt each’

A French paper gives the following
account of the experiences of one ot
the inhabitants of Strasbourg during
the siege :
“I had been established in Stras
bourg for many years, and my affaire
hail never been so prosperous as they
were when the war broke out. On the
aepreach of t e e i«my I jrmt away
my w'fe and family, but could not 1
leave mv warehouses and shops, lost
when the town was taken they should
lie given to pillage. The first eight
davs all went well, the quarter 1 in
habited seemed tube spared; but on
the ninth day a sholl exploded in front
of my house an l broke all the windows
on the ground floor. I thought i*
prudent from that time to take refuge
in my cellar. I had some provisions
there, so that I seldom went out of it.
I spent my days anti evenings in read
ing, little thinking what was about to‘
befall me. On Saturday the 10th,
about mid-day, while I was taking a
meal, I hoard a tremendous noise oorer
hja 1. I ran to the stairs to ascertain
the amount of damage doubtless caused
by a shell falling into the house. I
drew back terrified The entrance of
the cellar was stoppo 1 up by portions
|of the wall. The house hal fall' uin
and L wis hurried a ivo. YV hat passed
through my mind in the first hour of

membered having during the day
brought down a petroleum lamp. 1

on which I believed f hail placed it,
and bv good fortune there it was. I
light dit iustantlv. It was then that-
I rml xr l in/ tv e s' u id m; all round
me there were rums, t io staircase no
longer exi.-to l; I could no longer de
ceive myself, the house hid fallen in,
an 1 this cellar was to be my tomb. To
clear the rubbish on tha able was my
only hope, an l I began it with the fu
ry ol lisp fir. Every brick I took away
made others fall, and the wall crum
bled continually, and 1 was from oric
moment to another threatened with
co t u toi by hi ruins. Taon my
la np went out lor want of od, ands r
a time I gave up all hope; but the in
stinct of self preservation prevailed,
anl I set to work again in a sort of
rage. I ha l been working, as it
seemed to ru", more than two davs
when the ceiling su ldouly fell iu; a
brick at rue ms on tins heal anl I

round me, and, clinging to a beam of
the coiling, I raise l invso®k>ut ot this
' cellar which had so nearly been my
grave. Once out of it, I again gave
way. When I came to myself once
more, I crouched down am»ug the
mins of my abode and wopt for more
than two hours. I hal spent four
days in that cellar. X wout into it
without one gray hair, and now it is
quite white. I have ago i more than
twenty years in four days. As for my
shops all aro burnt I had worked
for ten years to set up my family iu

now all must begin over again, and
I see no prospect of anything but mi -
ery for our future days.”
