While'twenty- four hours are,gliding,
That wiser that mortal will be,
Prepsred for whatever betiding.
Tben halt not .theugh rough he the ground—
They fall who nre fearful of stumbling;
As hard as your lot may be found,
Did you ever know good come by grumb

We put-Mr. Butler in his own house,

till the next crop. We then moved back
to Noel's Station, where we had first
struck.the Railroad. We - hearti this day
that Gen Stuart, of the rebel Cavalry,
had been'killed in a fight with Sheridan.
Next morning we moved off in the
midst of a heavy rain, in the direction
of the river, which we reached, and
marched thence to Chesterfield. A di
vision of Cavalry passed us with a pon
toon train, and we waited for some hours
here. Rations were distributed, and, at
eight, p m.. we began onr march. We
found the Railroad buildings in flames,
and, passing on, marched very rapidly
all night
We reached Hanovertown, on the Pa

tance of twenty five miles, in one night,
and found the Cavalry crossing the riv

went into camp in a very pleasant place.
We enjoyed the luxury of a bath in the
Pamunkey river, and rested for the day.
There seemed to be no enemy, nor any
other of our troops near.
Next day we rejoined our corps:

were highly appreciated,

hours, the first assault upon Cold Har
bor works. We left camp early in the
morning, and marched, leisurely, all the
forenoon, t wards our left. We arrived
at the old Cold Harbor Tavern about
noon. this 'being the 'first time we had
crossed our' path made under McClellan
in 1862. It was dear the point we en

fore reaching the Chickabominy.
Here we formed our lines, four deep,
giving each brigade but - one regiment
front The 49th formed t!te fir 4 line of
our brigade. The men went to work to
build some pits, and the enemy shelled
at us in a leisurely way, probably to ger
an accurate range for their guns. Our
subsequent experience convinced us that
they succeeded, very well, indeed
We wet e ordered to be ready to move
at five o'clock precisely, upon a signal
being given.
,As the front of our Bri
gade. was an open field, in full view of
the enemy's batteries. we were to give
our troops, right and left;Some distance
the start, in order that, going through
woods. they might. strike the enemy at
the sasee'time with us Just as we were
about to move, our Brigadier General
became exhausted. having failed to keep
up his vigtir, even by liberaletimulation.
In fact, it was that erhic't made the
trouble. Having gently carried him to
the rear, and left him .in charge of his
two p,ereonal aids, and his servants, we
prektred for the fight, Lt. Col. Clark, of
Bniladelphin, commanding. -
"At.fiVe the word came. and giving our
men the word, we went for the rebel rifle
pits at double quick.
Our reception was warm, exceedingly.
Rebel shot and shell danced over the
sandy cornstalk-field in a manner more
vigorous than pleasant. We went ahead,
however, and, though losing men very
fast.. reached and captured their outter
works, and attempted their main lines.
We failed to penetrate them, but ,were
not driven hack, but, lying down. held
all we had secured
Our losses, as well as those on the
right and left. of us. were very heavy,
our regiment leaving a large Percentage
of the already thinned ranks either kill

Hickman, commanding the regiment,was
slightly wounded. Capt. Wakefield se- .
verely, a tree cut off by a shell having
fallen upon him. The writer was wound
ed, but not seriously, in the charge over
the field, and Lt James P. Smith was
wounded and eaptured in the fighting
between the first and second lines in the
evening. Co. C lost three men killed,
and fifteen wounded, and 'be other com
panies which were smaller, in like pro
portions. nearly.
On the third of Jure, efte , intrenehing
ourselves, we were ordered to maks an
other assault nn the enemy, in company
with the 2nd corps, and Smith's (18tb)
corps. charging at the point in front of
us. as soon as they attacked. The at
tack wa a bloody defeat to them, and we
gained very little ground, but, fortn
i ateiy. we had not very'much loss. Two
men were killed in our regiment, and
..ev..ral were wounded. We had a lively
fight in the evening across our rifle pits,
which now were hut ten or twelve yards
apart. I was now in command of the
regiment, as all my seniors were wound-
On the 4th of June we commenced a
new line, having driven the enemy from
• H
part of theirs. Tunnelling our own,
we crawled to it, and turned it against
them by digging a diech on our side or
their works. We worked away on the
sth at our ditches. covered ways and
traverses, conking, sleening and living
underground. No man could put up his
bead without risking its being broken;
bad mile one man hit, holvever. We put
our sharpshooters in the old rebel line,
and gave them their compliments back
effectively. Lost Iwo men of the sharp
thooters. however. In the evening two
rebel officers, Lt's McAllister end Hart
man, of the North Carolina troops, with
six men, came to the left of our regi
ment, bearing a fl3ming torch They
were hailed, and not fired upon, because
the thing was so novel the men did not
know what to do. They asked permiss
ion to pans along our line to find and
bury two of their officers, alleging that
a truce had been agreed upon for that
purpose There had been some attempts
to negotiate a truce, but it had not been
agreed upon. The men ordered them in
side, and they gave us our first, reliable
intelligence of Lt. Smith. Hartmen ex
plained their rather ludicrous blunder,
by saying, Gen. Clingman, who sent
them. was drunk. We bad buried one of
their officers, and had the other in our
hospital, wounded. We sent them to
head quarters, kept them a few days to
prevent their giving information, and let
them go.
•Ou the 7th we bad a truce, and buried
the dead between the lines. We bad
now extended our works until there was
only the road between our hostile lines.
However, we agreed to be civil, and.eit
ting on our rifle-pits, we , talked , to .our,
misguided foes in the most friencllyway,
exchanging coffee for tobacco, newspa
pers and jokes. I had the Richmond
Examiner, from an accommodating rebel,
at 8 o'clock in the morning of June Bth.
Communication was stopped by order,
and we soon quarreled and foughtlively
_nobody hurt, at least on our side, Du
ring this time, two rebels attempted to
desert to us, in the early morning, and
being mistaken as to the movement, one
of our men shot one of them, wounding
him, mortally, it was thought. We sent
them to'the rear, regretting the mistake
which, however, was not one not unlike
ly to occur under the circumstances.
June 10th, Maj. Hickman returned,
and relieved me of commend, and I re
ported back to Gen. Bustles as Brigade
Inspector. Little of interest occurred
next day, there being quite a lull, and
on the night of the 12th of June we
quietly withdrew from our lines,;and
commenced our march towards James
river. This was the end of thirty-five
days of the campaign. from the Rapidan,
through the Wilderness, to!Cold Harbor.•
and away. In all these days there was
not. one in which we did not hear either
the firing of artillery,. musketry, or both.
and in nearly all of which we were more
er less engaged. Of 730 men carrying
muskets, leas than 800 remained in line
in the regiment, and of 24 officers, only
three bad -escaped entirely, the bul etc
of the enemy, five of them were dead,
and three prisoners, and seven only left
for duty, including those whose wounds
were slight. We bad made up ourbloody
record for the Spring campaign of 1864..

INDECISION —Thou-ands of younenien
are to day drifting helplessly iibout in
the ocean of life, vainly hoping that ere
long some favorable breeze will spring
and drive their vessels into some safe
harbor. Where that harbor is, they
have no idea; because they have no de
finite object in view.. They have never
decided upon any course of life, but per
mit their actions to be shaped and mould
ed by the circumstances of the hour Is
it any wonder that disasters follow each
other in quick succession ? More men
are ruined through indecision, than
from a wrong decision. Few men will
deliberately lay out and pursue a plan
of life that will ultimately work their
ruin. Most young men of the present
day enter the great battle of life without
any well defined system of warfare, and,
consequently, Spend their best days in
aimless pursuits. IndeCision is the bane
of our existence. Could we look into
the world of spirits, we would_ find but
few souls - 'in the dark regions of woe
that had resolved to reach that goal;
nearly all who aro there, and those who
are hastening there, are in their present

indecision has been their ruin.

A Revolution in .Telegraphing,
Prom the Baltimore AmMiean
. .
A complete revoluti )n is shortly „
; to .
take place in the system of telegraphing,::
the rapidity and . cheapness of trait
mission enabling a reduction in the pride
that it will ultimately monopolize the
business correspondence of the country,
even if it should remain in private hear. '
The patentee of this new system claims '
the power to transmit messages "ten!
times as rapid as an expert paninan can
write, and to do as much business over`'
one wire as can be done over ten . wires''
by the Moreettystem•of transmissiciMz-;
The rates , of .rharges cont-mplated- by
the patentees of this new system are enee'
cent' per word for all distances, the
cheap - ness of which could not fail to draw
from - the maile all business Correspond
ence, as well as much - of 'a private char
acter that can not afford id waitthe
paratively slow postal transmission: .
We had been frequently urged by the
inventor, and his friends, to visit New .
York, and witness the operation of the
new instrument, and delayed doing se '
until -a few weeks since, when it was
thoroughly tested in our presence. ,
The - letters transmitted were the Mcirter
alphabet, and, what is most singular is,
the transmission 4 - done with64l,
any knowledge, on the part of either - the
receiver 'it-the sender,' as td theconfents
of the dispatch. It is annutouraton pro- '
neap, and requires-no skilled-• opera! ors,
the preparing -of the • dispitches being'
done by another instrument; ten of
which, presided over by girls, being' re- ”
quired'to keep one wire in steady

Lion. Any one; whiycanVeadManthicript i •
can work theseinstrumentiraa even a .
knowledge of the Mores alphabet not'
essential.' The transmitting instruments,
as well as the copy maehines, are work
ed by magnetism, and the rapidity and
smoothness with which they move shows`
that the new motive power is essential
to the success of the invention. Ws
watched the operation in every particu
lar, and found that our experience in
telegraphing could not suggest one ob
stacle that had not been provided for by , -
the ingenious and skillful inventor, who
has himself had great experience in -
egraphing, both in this country and in
Europe. •
We watched the working of the recep
tion instrument with'great interest, be
lieving it impossiblci to clearly transmit
letters-with such
- rapidity. The result,
however, proved that 'the formation of
the letters was more-clear and distinct
than we have ever seen them by the
Morse instrument, the record being mad.
by the magnetic fluid on chemically pm
pared paper, the dots and dashes being
as clear and distinct as if made by a pen.
But, even the rapidity of transmission
then attained, we are assured, was not
to the extent to which the inventor be
lieved he could ultimately reach, The
system of transmission is only limited
by the rapidity with which the receiv
ing and transmitting instruments can be
run with safety, and the inventor is con
fident in the belief that from-fifteen-bun , .
dred to two thousand letters-per-mlnute
can be transmitted, with all:the correct--
nem and 'clearness that the nine hundred
were•passed through the instruments -in
our-presence: , Those experienced in tel. -
egraphing will at once exclaim that this

be inevitable. To all such we would
say that• the test- was over twenty-five

nounced the transmission perfect:
