How the Battles were Fought Very few of the battles in which I have pnrticipated, says Gen. (Sherman, in his Lessons of the War, were fought ns described in European text books, viz. : in great masses, in perfect order, mnno5uvering by corps, divisions, and brigades. We were generally in a wood ed country, and though our lines were deployed according to the tactics, the men generally fought in strong skirm ish lines, taking every advantage of the ground, nnd of every oover. We were generally the assailants, and in wooded and broken countries the " defensive " bad a positive advantage over ns, for they were always ready, had cover, and always knew the ground to their im mediate front, whereas, we, their as sailants, had to grope our way over unknown ground, and generally found a cleared field or prepared entangle ments that held ns for a time under a close and withering fire. Rarely did the opposing lines in compact order eome into actual contact, but when, as at Peach-tree creek and at Atlanta, the lines did become commingled, the men fought individually in every possible style, more frequently with the musket clubbed than with the bayonet, and in some instances the men clinched like wrestlers and wpnt to the ground to gether. Europeans frequently criticis ed our wnr, because we did not always take advantage of a victory ; the true reason was that habitually the woods served ns a screen, and we often did not realize the fact that our enemy had retreated,till he was already miles away and again intrenched, having left a thin skirmish line to cover the movement and to fall back to the new position. Our war was fought with the muzzle loadiDg rifle. Toward the close I had one brigade (Walcntt's) armed with breech-loading ' Spencer's ;" the cav alry generally had breech-loading car bines. "Spencer's" and "Sharp's," both of which were good arms. The only change that breech-loading arms will probably make in the art and prac tice of war, will be to increase the amount of ammunition, to be expended, nnd necesrnrily to be carried along: to still further "thin out " the lines of attack, Rnd to reduce battles to short, quick, decisive conflicts. It does not in the least affect the grand strategy, or the necessity for perfect organization, drill, and disci pline. The companies and battalions will bo more dispersed, and the men will be less under the immediate eye of their officers, and therefore a higher order of intelligence and courage on the part of the individual soldier will be an element of strength. Whena regi ment is deployed as skirmishers, aud crosses an open field or wood under heavy fire, if each man runs forward from tree to tree, or stump to stump, and yet preserves a good general align ment, it will give great confidence, to the men themselves, for they always keep their eyes well to the right and left, and watch their comrades; but when some few hold back, stick too close or too long to a comfortable log, it often stops the whole line and de feats the whole object. Therefore, the more we improve the firearm, the more will be the necessitv of good organiza- tion, good discipline, and intelligence on the part of the individual soldier and officer. There is, of course, such a thing as individual courage, which has a value in war, but familiarity with danger, experience in war, and its com mon attendants, and personal habit, are equally valuable traits, and these are the qualities with whioh we usually have to deal in war. All men naturally shrink from pain and danger, and only incur its riKKs ironi some higher mo five or from habit, and I would define true courage to be a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to incur it, rather than that insensibility to danger of which I have heard far more than I have seen. The most courageous men are generally un conscious ot possessing the quality and, therefore, when one professes it too openly by words or bearing, there is reason to mistrust it. I would fur ther illustrate my meaning by describ ing a man of true courage to be one who possesses all his faculties and senses perfectly when serious danger is ao tually present. Want to Know. William Black, the English novelist, does not know what to make of the cn riosity of Americans as to persons. He says : " Some little time ago the sub editor of a New York daily newspaper wrote to me begging me to send him the proper materials for the construe1 tion of an ' obit. He said it was the custom of his journal to keep these obits ' in readiness. Heaven forbid ' as near as I can reoollect, these were his pious and comforting words ' that I should speculate on the possibility of having to use these biographical memo randa in your case ; but I must tell you that sometimes we find occasion to use an 'obit " during the life of the nub ject.' " And he wonders whether Amer icans as a people " see nothing odd in this curiosity." The oddest thing we see about it is that it has moved him to write a very entertaining letter on the subject. Americans do like to know all about the people who interest them, and Anlerican newspapers are enter prising enough to furnish the informa tion the people, want. If they can't fiud it they make it, of course, as the English papers would if they had more spirit and spunk. A Warning Voice. Judge Edmonds, writing in Erillan'a Quarterly of "Special Providence," says : " When my friend Dr. John F. Gray was a ladvome fourteen or fifteen years old he was employed in a cloth factory, where it was part of his duty to attend to the dyeing apparatus, which was in an adjoining building. His particular business was to tend the fire under the dye-kettle and to turn a crank whereby the cloth should revolve on a wheel through the dye. One day while thus employed he heard a voioe say to him, Get out of the building ;' he answered, What shall I go out for ? I won't do it.' After a little while the voice again said to him, ' Go out of this building, I tell you.' Again he answered, ' What shall I do that for ? I tell you I'm not going to do it.' Again an interval ol time passed, and the voice said more earnestly, ' Go out of this building, I tell yon, immediately. Go out I Go out I Well,' he replied, ' I won't quarrel about it, I'll go out ;' and so he stopped his work and went out. He had to ascend a few steps to get out, and he hardly reached the upper steps before the whole building fell, and crushed to pieces the kettle, furnace, and wheel where he had been at work," The human heart is like a mill-stone in a mill ; when you 'put wheat under it, it turns, and grinds, and bruises the wheat into flour ; if you put no wheat in it still grinds on, but it is itself that grinds and slowly wears away, DOWN TOWARDS CHISA. Two Thousand Feet Under Ground In a Saxony tlllTer Mlne--An Interesting Description. A correspondent writing of the silver mines of Saxonj which he visited says : Entering one of the buildings, the guide opened a trap door and immedi ately descended a ladder, telling me to follow. Now this ladder lod into the bowels of the earth for more than two thousand feet say half a mile at an angle of forty-five degrees, and was to bo descended backwards. At eacn side of it was sometimes a wire rope, some times a wooden rail, for the hands. Within a few inches sometimes, some times a few feet off, were the walls of solid rock ; and close at hand huge beams were moving slowly back and forth through a space ol aoout two feet. These were the pump-rods, cease lessly toiling to f reo the mines of the perilous waters ever gatuenng in tne depth below. Above our heads the sloping rock made a oeiling that most of the time compelled us to crouch quite low to avoid hatd knocks on the head from which even the thick felt naps we wore could not wholly save ns. So I went down, and down, and down in this darkness, which was but dimly lighted by tho tallow candle in the little lantern hung by a cord around my neck, that bobbed constantly against the steps of the ladder, which are just wide enough for one foot. I was glad, alter descending two or three hundred feet, to reach a gallery, where a rough board seat was indeed welcome. 1 rom this point narrow passages through the rock led off at right angles from the shaft tho work of earlier times, long iigo abandoned. How far they extended I could not guess, and the candles lighted the darkness but a few feet. Within the territory of this mine are twenty-eight miles of such passages, I was told, and 1 was content to pass them by and resume my descending labor. Wo reached, every few hundred feet. a new level, where galleries branched out to the right and left, and offered pleasant opportunities for repose. All tnee galleries have been worked out long ago. At last, after I know not how long time occupied in descending, we cot as far down as was expedient about one thousand five hundred feet deep and began to walk on level ground into narrow passages in the rock. Now wo began to see ore. A little railroad track was laid through theso passages, on which men pushed ulong small cars, ludcu with ore, to the mam shalt, where they ascend an in clined plane to " day, as the miners' vocabulary has it. .very measure of depth 13 so far from " day. and singu larly enough going on foot is called "riding," perhaps irom the luxury of walking as compared with the climbing up or down of ladders. Now my guide picked up a glittering mass which he handed to mo, as heavy as i could lift ; it was eighty per cent, lead and twenty of silver. I dropped it quickly, and we went on descending once more to where the miners were at work, and then olambering on hands and knees lucky if it were not on face, too now upward over masses of rock and masses of silver ere that were no softer to fall on than meaner stones. The silver vein varies from a finger's breadth to about a foot in width. Some of the ore is richer in silver than what 1 have mentioned, yielding as high as eighty per cent, of silver ; but this is rare. From this point we walked on a level it seemed for miles through still narrower windings, coming at last to the point for ascending, where tho ladders, instead of going at an angle, as before, were perpendicular, but none the easier for that. Here was plenty of dripping water all around, aud the steps of the ladders were muddy and slippery with the feet of hundreds of miners, who ever ascended and de scended. No more wire ropes or rail ings, but the muddy steps must be grasped firmly by the hand with both hands, too for, if the foot slipped, there was little between us and China ! Yes, there were rests as before, bat tho depths were something tremendous to which oue would fall in case of acci dent. Hard by the ladders was a ma chine, worked by the pumps, by which the miners were hoisted up by jerks, some ten feet at a time, by a contri vance which I cannot here explain. Enough for me that strangers are not permitted to venture on it for fear of accidents to inexperienced persons, who have to find their way back to " day " by pure bone and muscle work. Another alleviation of the toil of the miners has been introduced by the use of horses to drag the cars of ore through the galleries to the bottom of the inclined plane, up which they are drawn to the surface. These unfortu nate quadrupeds have been buried here two thousand feet deep for some three years ; and, so far, they grow fat and thrive in their subterranean stable. I did not see the poor beasts, as their working day was ended and they were enjoying the repose of their stalls. The upward journey was much more fatiguing than the descent, although tho rests were more frequent. Half way up was a deafening noise of waters in tho darkness, not unlike the uproar within the paddle box of a great steam er. By the light of our dimly burning lanterns I looked in upon an immense water-wheel of thirty feet in diameter, used for driving the pumps employed in this part of the works. But this, too, we left behind and below, con tinuing our tedious climb up the slimy ladders until, at last, we emerged into a large place, and the guide anuojiuced that we were once more at the surrace. I was glad to know it, and glad that I had not attempted to go lower, at laast unless I had a longer time to devote to the purpose. I had been some four or five hours below ground, and now emerged into the starlight perhaps half a mile from the starting point, although my travels below must have extended over several miles. I was not sorry now to perform thorough ablutions, for which every facility was provided, and having changed my apparel, to sit down with my guide over a glass ef beer and glean some further information about the works. These mines, formerly royal property, ore now managed by a company, the shares of which are worth ten thousand thulers, paying a dividend of twenty pur cent. The ore is sold to other companies, who do the smelting else where. The value of the silver pro duced by the mines in the neighborhood of Freidberg is said to be about $1,200, 000 yearly.

Thrilling Description of a Trip Through the Canons by Stage. A correspondent who crossed the canons in a mail oonott during a snow storm, gives the following graphio de scription of the trip i We plunge again into the darkness of tne oanon, and steady the team, as we near the Devil's Gate, so called from two enormous rocks through whioh the water-oourse has worn a channel only just wide enough for a wagon to get through, and which tower over our heads to some two or three hundred feet high. It is a wild plaoe, and wan famed in old times for desperate Indian encounters. From this up to the summit we have better going, and the mules, well warmed to their work, took us up quickly and steadily ; and, almost be fore I am aware, a piercing cold blast warns me that we have reached the summit, and that there is nothing to shield us from the north wind, which I see swirling the snow in wreaths on the top of Fisher's Peak, ten miles away. Anxiously we strain our eyes down the northern Blope, only to find deep snow over everything. The road turns sharp at right angles along the crest of the hill for the next quarter of a mile, past the old tree which marks the boundary-line of the Territories of Colorado and New Mex ico; and on which, ten yoars ago, a famous highwayman was lynched. As wo reach the turn in the road where the descent begins, we pull up and be gin to prepare for it. Sam and I get out and tie the front and hind wheels together with ropes, so as to block the coach entirely, and prevent the hind wheels from swinging round, as, if they did so, it must upset the coach. This done, cam goes for ward a little way to reconnoitre. Not five steps has he gone when his heels fly upon into the air, and down he comes on the broad of his back, with a crash that re-eohoes through the still night ; and it is some seconds before he can find breath to reply to our ques tions of what had happened, aud how did it look. All that we get, however, is a confused sentence, out of which I catch, " The darn'dest, meanest road this side of ," which we receive vith shouts of laughter, and Frank, tells him to lutnp on board. This time I get inside, as Frank says he's going to run cm down. Sam follows my example, and we each station ourselves at a window, Frank gets the team's heads straight, and in another second we are gliding over a bheet of ice at twelve miles an hour, on a gradient of one foot in ten. A sudden jar, a grunt, and a half-choked groan from one of the mules, while a half smothered curse from Frank tells that something has happened. I crane out, aud sea the off-wheeler down flat on her side, fortunately with her legs out ward, as, had they fallen inward, she would have thrown the other wheel mule, and then nothing could have saved us. As it is, how we got down the next four hundred yards gooduess only knows ; but at the end of it we find a big snow-drift, and into it Frank unhesitatingly shoots us, thus enabling Lim to stop the team. I run to the leader's heads, while Sam gets hold of the fallen mule, and now the question is, how to get her on to her feet, frank tells me to swing the leaders across the road from the mule, so as to give her room to struggle ; and then, applying the whip as hard as he can across her loins, she struggles up, only to fall again, as the leaders, frightened at the crack of the whip, make a wild plunge forward. My feet slip from under me, and for a second I think that the whole team, and the coach besides, are over me ; but thanks to the rough lock of the wheels, they could not move the coach, and I struggle up, only to have the same thing happen a.-'oiu. But this time the old mule keeps her feet ; and, after outting away the snow a little round the wheels, we jump in, and off we start again. The worst part is over, and the next half-mile we sail along grandly, when down goes the same wheeler again, and we drag her thirty or forty yards before we can stop. We get her up again, but she is so much hurt and cowed by the fright that she falls again three or four times before we reach the station, about a mile ahead. Here we find that the poor brute has not got a single hair on her left side from the point of her ear to tne root of her tail, and on the shoul der, ribs, and hip-bone, a good deal of skin has come off as well. " But, any way," Frank says, "she's only a mule;" and, sure enough, a year afterward I sat behind her over the very same piece of mountain, looking as if she had never skated down tho liatons. A Hot Brick. Mrs. Battles, says Max Adeler, suf fers from cold leet, and the other night she warmed up a brick, intending to take it to bed with her. She laid it down by the bedside while she attended to the baby, and then she forgot about it and turned in. After a while Battles came over to the bedroom, aud when he had assumed his nightshirt he began to say his prayers. When he was about half-way through ho happened to move his knee a little to fhe left, and it came in contact with the brick. For an in stant he thought that something had stung him, and, jumping up, he came back to ascertain what it was. He saw the briok lying there, bat it never ocv curred to him that that was the cause of the trouble, so he picked it up for the purpose of throwing it out of the window. Then he suddenly dropped it with a cry of pain, and atter an indig nant denunciation of Mrs. Battles he procured a piece of paper, aud in a f n riou3 rage hurled the brick through the window-sash. It hit a policeman who happened to be standing on the pavement below, and in less than ten minutes Battles was on his way to the station house, where he was looked up all night upon a charge of assault and battery. He was released in the morn ing, after paying $20 fine. He has not finished his prayers yet, and Mrs. lint- ties now warms her feet with a flannel petticoat. Such a ltoad.
