July 13th 1861 The sound of cannon in the dis tance is still indistinctly heard af ter the battle, and after the death of our lamented Garnett; bot the guns of our army still'’ retreat ing, or, like the wounded stag driveo-to bay, turning to fight its pursuers, and those of McClellan still urging the chase and attempt- iag.the enforeeinent.of surrender, would seem to commingle and mat ter as a common whole, or as the noise of some fresh coming rain and wind storm. The keen sense of hearing is strained to extreme tension by every soldier to hold the last dying notes of onr 'com rades being driven farther and far ther away from us—the real into the imaginary, leaving emotion and .hazard to hold and struggle with the situation. Indeed the in tervening mountain spurs how seem to catch the sound as wafted from the guns, either forcing it into the mountain gorges, or whirling it back around it’s top and down the valleys leading away instead of to Us, ’till now we are left to the full realization of our destitution and loneliness, or as the sole architects of our own safety. The qui vive of the soldier lapses into the listless solitude of self,"or info his own communions with the perhaps immediate sharp and spir ited flash to death with the enemy, or the fate of the more remote fu ture hanging irr the balance. In the interim, between the re cession of the two armies, the one driving and kicking the other through the mountains, the dying away of the clash of arms at the ford, the subsidence of the rain and thunder storm which had pre vailed, or during the painful si lence mow brokctTUnly by the drip ping rain drops through the leaves of the forest, the forlorn battalion, scouts and rear- guardsmen but align themselves in solid phalanx for defense or death,, as it slowly and cautiously edges back, or re treats to the top of the mountain spur overlooking Carrack’s Ford. The struggle between despon dency aud manhood, between hope and desperation, still war for the mastery in doubt and uncertainty, or, in resignation, to solve the com posite problem this dreary Satur day evening for the ’morrow. Each soldier still holds his thumb upon the hammer and his finger upon the trigger of his mus ket, as half crouching .he watches the. coming of the foe, perhaps creeping through the densa forest all around us, resolved to sail him self at the highest market price of war. The field below, which lies strewn with broken plumes,'silent mus kets,overturned nnd smashed wag ons, dead horses and dead men, can only be seen in the vividness of imagination through the inter vening forest—as likewise what, if any,, chance of deliverance and safe- ty- ' Home, sweet home,” rises up as a spectre or vision to be seen and realized no more forever, and the internal weeping of the soldier is hidden only- by the manhood "and courage that must uphold .and sus tain him to the end. The voice of duty, which all along had cried aloud to sustain, now becomes snb- .servientto that of self-preservation or only to aid desperation in find ing some means of escape, or to jump the impending sentence hold ing over us. The glaring eyes of starvation holds it’s, steady gaze upon us from every point of the compass, and the very mountains themselves, seem to shout back around to each other in derisioh and glee at onr awkward and precarious condition. The Great Captain of the Uni verse seemsjfco have hidden Him self behind the clouds or wandered away to watch the result of the chase between the shattered army of the dead cheiftain and McClel lan^ No sun to guide; no nymph to teach' divination. No Thracian Harpalyce to be seen gliding through the • woods behind her foaming steeds, to give us an inti mation, or riding bv as a hantress, with commodious bow hung from her shoulders, with flowing- hair, saving: “So bo, youths, declare to me if you have seen any one of my sisters by chance, A here waudering, girded with a quiver and with the skin of the spotted iynx, or with an -• if iubtantly recognizing the outcry urging the chase, of the foaming boar,” whom we might follow to restitution and safety, or of whom to enquire: “Whoever you.are, may you be fayorableio us and ease our solicitude.” We are stranded in the mountains without subsistence, without guidance, driven hither by McClellan, who seems to have forgotten ns alto gether, or left ns, perhaps uninten tionally, to battle with hunger as a foe sufficiently powerful to con quer in the end. But none of the dear mythology cal creatures drove or rode our way that sad and lonely Suturday evening; and as the conviction ful ly settles npon ns that McClellan hadoverlooked, or failed to observe that we were in the thick mountains hopelessly cut off from our army, and apparently from the living world, each.soldier begin to cast abont for a solution, or for some feasible plan or road to escape and sustenance. Begins to look out in to the surroundings to ascertain if all had been a dream, or indeed, had become a “dread reality.” reality wanting iu everything that would tend to re-assure and light en the oppressive burden upon the mind, or that held not a single sign of Jippe, but iu chance to begin, and in chance to continue to the end. Begins to look around at his comrades, at himself, alas! to find the whole as wanting as the situa tion, or as a forlorn hope withont leader. Begins to question bim- elj where and how to start, or in what direction to go. Begins to examine his own pulse and brain ascertain if normal or abnormal competent or incompetent to solve the difficult problem. Begins pry here and yonder for one of company, a famaliar face, a friend from boyhoefd, o companion in deed, or to discover if perchance himself a stray sheep in a strange fold—a leader for self alone, or to be led by the broken whole. All 1 these varied and mnltiform questions and answers crowd thick and fast upon the mind of the sol dier, only to hurry away in doubt aud gloom for further considera tion, or to the next soldier for ad vice and consolation. My diary says: “Now fully convinced of no im mediate attack, or that we are un perceived by McClellan, I find my self edging down on the end of an old log, near tbe center of battalion, just a little way off in tbe bashes, and first calling to mind my two' rear gnard companions, George and Mack, who perhaps .might be now lying cold in death, or serious ly wounded on the field below; again of the many of my company, Southern Bights Guards, who driven before McClellan, might be scattered dead along the pike, or to wander through the depths of the mountain forest in hanger and disconsolation, and again of my own lonely condition, as it would now seem to appear, no companion of my company could be found in the whole battalion, or perhaps half tempted under emotion of the mo ment to weep for relief (only .a boy ) when to my ' gratification and great delight is seen Clint Dun can (who fell in the well, or was drowned at Laurel Hill) moping up from toward the left of battal ion, prying here and yonder, evi dently looking for some companion crto-Satisfy himself of bis own isolation^ At first sight of him, covered almost from head to foot with mud, I felt like shouting for joy and at once calling aloud to him, but suppressing the impulse of the moment, decided to remain incog, that I might for a moment watch, to enjoy his woe-begone apt pearance, gloomy face, and wistful eyes playing from side to side of- the battalion, as he moved on up opposite where I was sitting out in the bushes. My feelings went out to him in sorrow and pity, and my heart was full of love which cannot be described, or such only as desperate circnhistances and surroundings can bring about. Without doubt be was the most battered (in appearance) specimen of a soldier I had ever seen in my life, and withal as ugly as a “mud fence,” yet to me in this mo ment of misery and pleasure, still the prettiest soldier then to be found in all Northwest Virginia. But in silence, and nnknown to him, I continued to watch- his ev ery movement and expression of the face (tookamindpictnre) ’till he got opposite me (he now look ed like he was crying and I think I heard him mutter something like Miss Eliza) and as about to pass on, I called out: Hello Clint!

We both sat ddwn together on the old log, and forthwith began to counsel together as to this thin and the other one, how or what to do, or which way to start. Bnt.now comes Jim Bice stalk ing along np the line; from toward left of battalion, in. a dream so deep that it seemed a pity to break it, and occasionally running his hand across his face (he afterward said to wipe the mist • out of bis eyes). Clint and myself enjoyed his discomfiture; haggard face and di lapidated appearance ’till he had poked up opposite us, when both of us called -out: Hello .'Jim! and who now sat nown on the old log, perhaps the happiest man of the trio. We three began forthwith to dis cuss the situation, when Lawrence Felder is seen pulling through the laureL bushes who seemed to have his head set on no- particular place or object, when we call out: Hello Lawrence! who overjoyed came and sat down on the old log, the happiest man of the quartette. We four begin to disenss the situation, when suddenly Watt and Bill Bainey are seen edging through the forest in some other direction, when tho whole quar tette cry out: Hello Watt! Hello Bill! who clapping their hands to gether, come forward and sit down on the old log, happier than all to gether. - We six begin to discuss the situ ation, when Zeke Ezell is seen slipping through the bushes (where we intimated he had been hiding, though he said it Was a lie) -looking like a piece of bursted pomposity, or like he had not a single friend on earth, when the whole of us squall out: Hello Zeke! who sneaks up to sit down on the old log, apparently the happiest man now of the lot, of in his hy perbolical style undertaking to ex plain away his untoward surround ings; or indeed to engage in a gen eral spat at random with the whole crowd in imitation of the nine blackbirdsjon the fence rail. Now one, two, three, four, five, six, seven hungry soldiers in a row .on the same old log, but still in the woods—still on a rotten bark, so to speak, without a rudder, jast ready to formulate a plan or begin in earnest the - solution of the knot ty problem.

For years the masses have been crushed -with legislation antago nistic to their prosperity and. hap piness. Taxation has piled on taxation, the fruits of their labors have gone to • enrich the favored few, and it has.bnilded up a plu tocracy unequalled by the mon archies of‘the old world. The following facts, which are taken from the columns of the Washington Post, Show the condi- tion.of affairs in this republic. The Post says For the next two years our gov ernment will spend annually more than $500,000,000. To pay one year’s expenses of the government it will take nearly the combined wheat and oat crop. “Oar annual output of gold, sil ver, copper, iron, coal, petroleum and lead will not foot onr tax bill for twelve months. “Nor can we do it with a year’s product of cotton,wool, rye, barley, wine, potatoes and tobacco. ' “The combined capitalization of our national banks is §599,000,000. One year’s taxes will nearly swal low it up. “Now, all this is the federal tax. We have also to pay city, county and state taxes. “We pretend to be a nation of plain people, with no aristocracy, no standing army and expensive frills, and yet our taxes are more onerous than those of Austria,Ger many or Great Britain.” Is not this a startling exhibition of the tremendous load the masses have borne? Is there any evuse for wonder that the agricultural aud laboring classes, viewing the wrongs which have been done them, are upon the eve of a revo lution, aud have beeu driven al most to desperation by a conscious ness of the injustice wich has been done them? The Borne Tribune, commenting upon the startling array of figures and facts quoted from the Post, says: “The people must have relief, or there will be trouble—serious, and immediate trouble. There must be a return to the simpler and more economic administration of the government, or there will be no government to be administered. Here is work for the democrat ic party which is laid npon it by the oppressed people of the coun try, and that party dare not shirk the responsibility or turn a deaf ear to the cry of distress. “There is restlessness and dis content, and justly so, among the farmers of the conntry.
