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.

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.

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.
