ten days bard marching I fotind I had
been sent to McClellan's army through : 1 a
mistake; my regiment being with M'lloiv- -
el, I had trarel6l3oCl miles out of my way.
By accident Ilfound the • 57th regiment,
and being actiminted with Lieut. Lyons
.of co. 1,1 concluded to, remain with him
Until I could . get transportation . back to
my re,ginient. We had.not been there but
a few days wheli the 57th was ordered on
io fight. Myself, J. D. Richards and
S. Perkins,
,belenging to the same clamp's- -
ny, volunteered - lo_ go with the company,
and fight.
• In ten minutes each man bad
forty rounds ot cartridges, and we , were
on our way to meet the rebels. We
marched three • miles in the :'direction of
Richmond in Aeltiblikluick time. We soon
found that •Geh. Casey bad been driven
back, and that 0, en. Conch had. taken the
fight,*and was giving the enemy battle.—
Atter a desperate fight. with the' rebels,
we were 'compelled to fall back, I was told
for the want of ammunition: Gen. Casey
was next to •talie the field. We arrived
at the battleAtild at 4 o'clock. We march
ed in line of. Wade across ilia Richmond
road,.and halted.. At this time the shells
from the rebel guns flew. thick and fast
amend us, and we were ordered by the
Colonel to lay ;down. In a short time the
command was given to go forward on the
road. - We had not got far when the re ,
bele raised up n front abort twenty rods
_nit The command was given to halt.—
They first hoiSted the stars and - stripes,
but -we were boo close .to be-deceived.—
We were first to open the ball.' The Col.
gave the comm=and to fire. We gave them
a volley from right to left., bringing . many
'a rebel to the gronnd, for we each : picked
a man. In a moment s time bullets came
whizzing by Or heads, Wounding two .by
my side. Richards and Perkins were on
my right, loadihg and firing as if Oen of
experience, yet they were not- seventeen
years of age.' jib e fought the enemy-four
to one, and the - trees m front and rear
were peeled by the enemy's bullets. In
less than an holfr the Colonel was shot by
my Sit* and' the 31ajor,wai killed. Before
'we entered the road night-came on and
we were obliged tefall back on the rifle
pits, and there we stood in line of battle
all night. -But awful • and gloomy was the
sound from the: field that was strewed
with the dead and-wodrided. Is cannot de-
Scribe my feelings as I stood there all
night, and could hear the moans of hund
reds 'of my brother soldiers, and - some of
the company with which I fought.. Too
numb praise cannot be bestowetb upon the .
officers and privates of that regiment. In
the night we'were strongly reinforced, -
and in the morning early the „fight began
anew. Nothing could be heard- but the
sound' of muskets and' cannon.. In less
than vivo hours we broke the rebel ranks,
and drOve them at the point of the bay
onet: Never before did I witness such a
sabbatli-as that. The fight was•awfulit
cannot be described. Hundreds and thou
sands of brave soldiers that day, shed
their blood for the love of their country ;
though I. and the other two Iboys came
out unharmed; but each of OS having sev
eral bullet holes through his clothes.
So, I have `.seen the Elephatit" at last,
and found him larger than I ahticipated. -

-Policy_ of the AboUtionistO.
iVlienithe war first broke out, the cun• • -

Lord would alillefr Davis in heating us
so badly that we should be forced lntoliis

ical allies did not rebuke fiim, and • we
shall presently state why. After our Bull

the war is to be for, the Uhion.When
L
we had obtained enough men and ,

they first showed' their true colors ti n

down, both the rebellion and th excuse
for their theory, plans were laid in Wash
ton to dCfeat our armies. AlcClel4n's fur

litigants are careful' o hint That ' rafting
is to come soon—hoping 'to sere -the
country into, their crazy notions; in - order
to escape :conscription.. This woald only
make bad worse. Sensible men I would,
much soaiterenlist to for the Govern
ment, tbah'for abolition; and few-radicals
care enough about abolition to filth for it,
although they would talk a,great deal for
it: An 'abolitiOn order could not Ibe en
forced, for ..ebel armies are in our way.—
Rout them, and we would not need.aboli
tion.. At no time would it do us good;
but would at any time; and just no v, par.'
ticalarly, do great harm. Issue ai aboli
tion decree now, and. Europe would prop
erly view it ni the last, desperate 'e of
a sinking Republic.. They would iilte it,
the desired pretext for intervention—for
ultimately enslaving the Whites obothl
sections. Beware then of the •ab lition'
trap It means, in any event, disunion in
some shape: Phillips was not rebuk4d, be 7
catise'his political allies agreed wit'l him,
bin dared- not flay so. They meant to
overturn the Cointitut ion, and set 4 some
new dftuisty here, or to separate from t he
South. They always have • intended i this.
Congress once contained but few of `,hem ;
and they openly advocated di=nnion;
backed by a few outside fanatics. `_The
people laughed'at them then; but; now
that insane.and once ;insignificant crew;'
control Congress. Give them full po i iivers,
and our last President has been sinaimura
t,ed. .

While, then, we favor the prompt fill

see that all our labor is not in vain. Re

able means; if you • would save your oun

Freemen, to the rescue
rizr-So far as we can learn, the "Foarth"
was "celebrated" to about the usual ex
tent ; although the spirit was not general-
ly up to the old standard, for causes pat
ent to all. A large share'of the " celibra-
Cons" Were of a political nature, and Isecm
to be displacing the good old kind. !The
Democrats in some cases announced
meetings for that day, and held them ; but
in - no case did they intrude party idoc,
trines into citizens' celebrations, and even
when assailed, did not alivays rake tile de
fensive. In shameful contrast to this we
notice that while Republicans did!. not ,
conic out honestly andl cat( any Party
Meetings, they made, as - usual of late, a
practice of stealing into citizens' celilebra
tions with their offensive abolitionl and
"other partizan dogmas. How cunning a
trick'it is fur political demagogues in -de
lade citizens into giving them mo n t y on
the pretence of a people's meeting and
then dishonestly deiote it to getting up
and carrying out a party scheme! is
tithe this swindling practice was put an
end to, no matter under what corer 'it
sails. If any modest, Democrat hesitates
to put his fuot doWn firmly on alit sub-1
ject, lest.he offend his radical neighbor,
let him imagine what, Republicans Would

the other foot—as it - should xaribe.—
'Would Republicans tolerate the tdea for
a moment that churches, sabbath and oth-
er schools, funeral services, celebrations,
&c. &c., should_be used by Demociats to
