War Sketches bya Northern Ranger.
We had. reached the entrance of a narrow
pass which led tbrciugh.somerugged hills. Our
party was not small, but its members were de
termined men, none of whom were novices in
scenes of danger-. We marched in silence, that
was broken only by the murmured whispers of
the men;, the cries, and fluttering of birds, or
the quick plunge ; of some small animal through
the thick foliage, which, from the very edge of
the pith we were'pursulag, indeed amid lofty
trees thinly-scattered on - the hill.'
Day was near its: close. We were distant
some miles from the camp. The enemy might
be in possession of4heilaille in overwhelming

groans, the glen; made all Invisible

, When` I recovered my senses, I discovered
dual was lying on my'side, bleeding slightly
from a flair wound in the thigh. I had bled
profusely, before reitoveririg t flit I waseaturated
in half-congealed gore. Raising myself on my
elbow, I'looked round for My comrades. The
Moon was' iihining with all the softness of her
beauty on the spot. I counted five bodies lying
within a compass of almost as many yards. I
endeavored to discover their uniforms, but could
not at that distance. , I rose slowly, and, with
much ;difficulty, reached the nearest. He was
dead, with a blue hole inthe, centre of his fore
head, through which the bullet had passed, and

the enemy I heard no sound, and the, moon

gray, tOdm, produoed an effect that

but the five fallen scouts: . Yet, that others had

which the arched foe had lurked and poured
upon his deadly fire.
~My,wound, began to bleed afresh, which
brought a faintness upon me and I sank to the
earth, A burning thirst was consuming me,
and I groaned ilLaiforty,
. After a little while I made another effort , to
rise, but filled; and then falling back, as calm
ly as poseible; , l yielded to my fate. I thought
of past dayi,:when, in early youth, no cry for
blood had yet awakened that inherent ferocity

In a few moments a • dozen armed men were
on the sixit, leaning. Upon their rifles and gazing
round tip& the dead. Some stooped and ex
&joined the laidrwith auiless'scrutiny ; others
merely stirred thein with the foot, or turned
them over with the, muzzles of their guns, with
the brutal indifference` bloodshed engenders in
the heart.-

"They're dead. l Let them rot?" said one
who apPeared, to be the ;leader of the party.
-Hot all dead," I replied...

rades, who calmly remarked : heir got
through the rough work he had awhile ~ vigo,

in his ,beit: and withdrew. "Where are you

had been'ainit in the hip, and was dying of
thirst. - Hh.re he 'called a member of the party
to him, and finking from his hand a canteen,
poured soma of its.contenta—brandy and water
—down my.throat. My wound had entirely
stopped bleeding, Nit my whole side was stiff
and painful. With much diffictilty I rose to my
feet, and by the aid of tiro of my captors, for
such they were, managed to, move along with
the Mat of the band, through what appeared
cleft in the mountain, pursuing a new path to
that I hadlitherto traversed in the company of
those who had' fallen, and whom I was now
leavhig behind me forever. _
For some time we fallowedthis road, running
it the base of two declivities almost perpendicu
lar, whose llissY'summits I could not scan, and
whose rugged sides of gray, at intervals were
shining coldly beneath some stray gleani of
moonlight, that, even in that cavernous pass,
found its way and smiled amid the gloom, like
the good glance of a visiting angel.
Suddenly wevemerged.' from this gloomy de
file, and found (=selves in what appeared 'al- , '
mosta level country., Here—where some tents
were pitched—we halted, and I was a prisoner
in a guerrilla . camp.
A week elapsed, and I had recovered fit=
my wound. The chief of the party who had
captured mkoffered me. my liberty, on 'condi

but the same caprice permitted still to move
upon the earth a living ` thing : This wretch

act of robbing the dead atter a skirmish. His
crime, in, the eye of a soldier, is a;deadly, sin.

foul for an honest shot, from Whose blood the
bright steel would receive a 'displace deeper
than its stain. ktiOng too,worthien to hang;
one Whose loithsoine life should' be crushed out
suddenly, with stone 'or club, as a reptile
Should, and the` contaminated Weapon then
flung from the hand: orever:
He cringed to his captor% and they drove
him from them with curses and kicks, and when
he fawnad they spat upon him.

preceded it.
Col. Colburn, however, who has just come in
from the vicinity of the scene of battle, says
that a large number of men who have been rp
ported as missing are coming into camp.
A. Committee of the Board of Trade and the
bankers of Boston arrived here to-day, to see
the authorities on the subject of woolen geode
