THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7,1870. THE REALITIES OF WA II. Ono of tbe ntrnngest incidents of a battle is tbe inriiftc rence, for tli time being, of t'10 lighting men to the wounded. The army re gulations forbid any attention to the lat'er ciuiirg lie fighting; declaring that the highest rnty ard iuustprifsiig uucigeuey is to win tLe battle, by whicli only cm the jiroper tieatmeut of the wounded be secured. TliU irjiinctien is obeyed qnite as often from in clination hm from a seuso of duty, I thiuk: cM-taiuly. tbo ruling iJea f a soldier ia a little is to kill the enemy. There is no spii it will. in Lira then but Ui-it of sUnghter. 1 nt on iirmut coward in the line, and compel Lim to M-y there, Brd instinct if nothing 1 ighn will tell him to take a musket and r tHliate nj.nn Iho men who are trying to slay bin. No iuo c tmtbfnl words were over spoken of a MiMit-r tiian thoBe vf the Duke of Wel lii'gton. who remarked of an oilicer wjj was liading a litio into action, "lie is a hrnve uiun.'' '"I should ttay," shM an aid, "from bis deatl ly white face, that bo is a coward.'' M4.. it o I ffltm timn " ritiu.iff.il I a Tli.1.-A with emphasis, "lie realizes his danger find i fiimly Accents it. Such a mati will always do liia whole' duty." Thia. I think, ia the w nole theory of bravery i in battle a stern, heroic endurance of dread- : ful danger from a conviction of duty. True, ' there ore soldiers of fortuue and rattle- ! brained mad-carm, who claim to love fighting for its own sake, and who go through a battle as they vol, Id through a .steejile-chae: but, this is a kind of frenzy which is not moral courage, and which is only just nearer to biavery than tho inspiration of opium or liquor. , "You arc afraid," said one officer jeoringly to another at the opening of a battle. "Yes,"' was the ready answer; "and if you were half as frightened as I, you would have run long ago." The sights and sounds of a battle are well- nigh indescribable. Noise, tumult, danger, ! excitement, aix mena together to make a scene which can have no parallel on the hither side of the infernal regions. During bis first battle, perhaps the novelty of tho thiDg may fill the recruit with genuine en lhti8iasm, and put fear in the back-grouad; but after that he will find the poetry of the battle-field somewhat overdone in "Ilohen linden," and fighting itself rather a prosaic end dangerous butchery. There is nothing less like a pageant, I verily believe, than a battle. The arms are not polished and shiny now, for the dew of last night's bivouao in the grass has tarnihhed them: brilliant uni forms have disappeared; btlts are loosened, or, in the fury of tho fight, are thrown aside altogether; shoulder-straps and epaulets are liiscardf d. out of wholesome regard for the nenjy's fharp-shooters; and alter the fight has progressed an hour yon will find those who are still righting dirty, grimy, and labor ir g to kill the enemy with about as hard ' manual labor aa a navvy is used to: "And like smiths at their forges Labored the red St. George's cannoneers." - An army the day after a fight is like a ship that has passed through a tornado and barely fcaped wreck shattered, crippled, and al most powerless. Next to a defeat, there is nothing to prostrating to nu army as a vtc try. A few score tueu around a torn and ragged ring will represent a regioienl bri gades have dwindled to regiments, and divi sions to brigades. Home are killed, many wounded, and many more have straggled or become temporarily mingled with other commands. If every man brought into a battle actually remained under orders until the. victoty was won, or until he was killed, wounded, or forced from the ground by pres sure of numbers, the problem of battles would be much harder of solution than it is. Expe rience has shown that even the most efficient and best disciplined regiments generally contain a modicum of poor fighters, who may be divided into three classes; first, the skulker, w ho is certain to leave the field at the first instant he can withdraw himself from the eye of his officer or tile-closer; second, the straggler, who will fight till the battle grows hot and the danger thickens, and then make for the rear, thinking he has quite dons hs8 pait; and third, tho benevolent coward, who will not fight if he can help it, but is anxious to save appearances, anJ so exerts himself to help the wounded off the field, and forget 8 to return. Tor the deficit in strength caused by Buch as these the officer relies upon the fidelity and virtue of the good soldier, w ho never deserts his colors, and who will endure the pangs of hunger and fatigue tl at he may be on tbe line with his regiment when the hour of trial arrives. TUE COURTSHIP OF OLE HULL. A correspondent of the Chicago Times, writing Irom Madison, Wis., the former home of Mrs. Die Hull, writes as follows: "There are a goodly number of stories told -of Olo Bull's courtship, but most of them do hit bear the stamp of authority, and we will not repeat them, save two that were told us by one of Mrs. Hull's intimate friends. It Stems that at one of his concepts, after it was concluded, a little girl stepped up to tbe stage and sought a kus from Mr. Bull. Upon his responding, a gentle man spoke up and said: 'There's another young lady here who would like a kiss. Ole Bull was equally gracious in this instance. ard kissed the young lady who is now his wife. Afterward, when Mrs. Bull was visit icg an intimate friend of hers, Mrs. B. F. Hopkins, Mr. Bull being then in the city, Mrs. Hopkins said: "Would you marry Ole Bull if you bad tbe chance." "Indeed would, in a minute," she replied. Still later the great violinist was giving concerts in ' Madison. He fonnd especial pleasure in run ning up to Thorpe s to accompany; Hiss Sarah a pii no. They became not only musical, but loving, friends. lie admired her accomplish rooms and refinement. He became an inti mate and correspondent of the family. No one in Madison suspected anything save' a mere matter of musical sympathy and friend ship. The pleasant relations culminated in the violinist escorting the mother and daughter to Lurope. Of course Mr. Bull did not lose the opportunity of taking them to his beautiful estate in Norway. Here was everything to spot, and in its walks and bowers th6 smooth tongued but great-hearted musician whis peied aireu words. He had travelled the world over, but never had he seen one to en trance him like Miss Sarah Thorpe, of Madi- fcon, Wisconsin. Mother and father con sented to the union, and on a sunny day in June last, when all was smiling with life aiound that famous mansion, Ole Bull and Miss Thorpe were married. They came back very quietly, and passed through Chicago almost without discovery. They surprised the dead old town of Madison by arriving there at a late hour of night. But Mr. and and had called in a hundred or so of frieuds to celebrate the event. "On their arrival it was suggested as a pleasant occurrence that the pastor of the Con gregational Church, who was present, should which Miss Thorpe had always been familiar. Nothirg could be more natural, and from this little incident has arisen all the news taper queries and itema about the why aa.1 iLe whtrefore of a second ceremony. "Ever j body that has ever seen Ole Hull knows how exceedingly courteous and grace ful he is. He doos not seem at all like a man (11 j ears of age. He is as fresh and vigorous as a young man, and handsomer than most. We do not wonder at any young lady's fulling in love with him. Now that he proposes to abandon the 'farewell concert' bimnosl, he will look handsomer than ever to everybody. At the gatbeiing on last night he was the biippiest man to be soeu his face nil radiant with joy and generosity, and his dress imma culate. He always was an exquisite mau in his raiment. Now he is more superb than etcr. This helps his appearance wonderfully. A( ter all there is nothing that assists a gentle mfjii more than tasteful, handsome app uel. Mr. lJnll wears neither gold nor gems. He i excessively nice about, bis linen, wearing the costliest of sbiit fronts and neck cloth. He is blwajs glad of an opportunity to play bil liards, but does not drink liquors other than fiiie wii.es. "The Madison V)wstml that the 'best friend of Sarah Thorpe would not call her handHime.' She certainly is not handsome, but has a face beairing with life, hope, and intelligence. She is a very accomplished lady, and shows it in her looks. On the occa sion of the reception she wore a very rich satin, demi-train, tho under dress of white silk trimmed with point laco flounces. In jewelry she was as simple as her husband, wearing a simple pearl. Her head dress was of the simplest kind. We are incline! to think that Miss Thorpe has chosen a good husband, the only objection being that he must quit the stage of life while she will yet be young. She is very greatly esteemed in Madison. The breath of scandal has never been heard in connection with her good name." Fours. Forks were first known in Italy towards tbe end of the fifteenth century. It was a hundred years before tfeey cams into tise in France, and nearly a hundred more before they had travelled as far northward as Scotland. Their introduction into England was at first ridiculed as a piece of aft'ectatiou and effeminacy. In one of Beaumont and 1 Jetcher s plays, "your fork-carving traveller is spoken of with great contempt, and Ben Jonson, too, joined in the laugh against them. In repeated instances, tho progress of inven tions Las been thus resisted by tho popular clamor, and even opposed by popular vio lence. Tli9 first mau who appeared with au uinbiella in the streets of London drew down upon himself a pelting shower of mud and stones, which was worse than the rain against which he had spread tho new-fangled protec tion. The old way of making boards was by splitting np the logs witS wedges; and, clumsy 8 the method was, it was no easy matter to persucde tho world theie was a bettor. Saw mills were first used iu Europe in the fifteenth 1 century, la l(,(;i a Dntcuman built one in England, but tbe public outcry against it was so vehement that he was soon obliged to de camp; ana lor tne next nunarea years no one veLtured to repeat the experiment. In 1 C8 a rash adventurer began to erect another mill, but a conservative mob gathered at once, and tore it down. PROPOSALS. )ROFCSAL8 FOR ARMY TRANSPORTATION IN TEXAS.
