To a Quondam Friend. Written for the Telegraph" Old friend, we two have walked together Through sunny days and stormy weather Till now; and here the bond must part That bound us closely, heart to heart. Farewell in sorrow ! I'm content To go the way our fathers went. For all my inmost being holds The faith that filled their earnest souls. I look adown the sunny path , Where we have walkeki in hey* and faith, But all the beauty and the sheen , Grow dim before another scene ; For far.beyond this later dream The fires of Cosocuarbrightly gleam, I see the swords at latxnuirou Flash through the shadows dark and dun, Through woody steep and narrow gorge The hosts appearttt Varzer The war songs of those stirring days . Sound clearer far than .friendship's lays. a • 0 0 Ah me I when all this strife is past ;In which our troubled lot is oast ; When harvest fields shall blossom where The reek of blood now taints the air ; ' When our great deeds of right or wrong Shall be in fable or in song, • Perhaps our children, then, shall see Light in what now seems mystery, And reading o'er the solemn page That mars or brightens all this age, (Their eyes , the hand of God may trace Exalting all the human race, Then they, perchance, may not Condemn What now your llios are shaped to blame.` H. Bornitax. August 19th, 1862. FROM SEW ORLEANS. ' 3ft.rtb.er i'otth•3 of the Battle of Baton gouge. Eike fidlowing private letter written by Mr. Jacob M. Barr to his father in this citY, has ilea kindly furnished us for publication, and will be found very, interesting.--ED.I Mum Bram R . llllOll WRIEITILD, Niw latussza t Atig. 9th, 1862. f Rano= PARED= :—You will have to ex cuse the briefness of this letter, se I have not time to' write you partici:dare at present. We have just returned trom a visit to Baton Rouge, and were itnmediately - informed that the malt wonid leave at noon for New 'York, I have hastily penned you' these lines. When I lest wrote to you we were on the eve of starting on a secret expedition, the result of that expedi tion' I mutt reserve for 'my next. Suffice it to say that we returned to the city_on Wednesday vigirnir the-8W 4fter• tie paina to anchor we' weigh.igunaliately and proceed up river to the BatonßtOtige, att there was trouble in the camp. thir toms at that place had been ,attacked by land, and that the terrible ram Arkansas had come d'.wri from Vicksburg, that General Wil liams had been killed with two hundred and fitiy,of our men,and that the remaining por: don of them ha d been driven to the woods and that the rebels had, regained possession of the capital of the State. immediately after dinner we had got under weigh, the liartford and Brooklyn having preceeded us some hours. On Thursday night about 1 o'clock we overhauled the above menfloned vessels, and the Comm& dont requested us to come to anchor for the might. At daylight we were under weigh again, end the Commodore requested our boat to proceed ahead as last as we possibly could up to the city; when we neared the city we tound considerable quantities of cotton and pieces of burnt timbers floating down with the current, and we passed , the dead body of a man floating down moat horribly burned. We ar rived in•front of the city about 10 o'clock; im mediately after, coming to anchor I gained per- Mission to go on shore. I might as well men tion here that when we came to anchor we found the rams . Essex and Sumter, belonging tik()aptain Davie fleet laying here in company with eeveral of our gun boats..lmmediately atter coming.to anchor, I went on shore and wentlip to the military headquarters. I here saw a most horrible sight; the green sword around the . building was covered with the dead, dying and wounded soldiers. The surgeons were busily engaged in dressing the wounds of the wounded, and as fast'as their wounds would be dressid,, they were taken down to the boats to midis room for, other wounded that were being brought , . . . . . . - Our troops ,which.were stationed at this place Were those. of Otineralfintleescomnarind whiah . had been with us up. to ,-Vicksburg, ;and they . were under the command of Gestate' . Williams. On thikaight of the rith about 4 o'clock is the Morning our-pickets came in, and the - General wrist intormed. that, there wattle- codaidemble 043 , of troops approaching' the place.

Amongt the number of w ounded left was the rebel Gen eral Lovell, who `commanded. at New Orleans previous to our coming up, and General Clark; they will both die., Lo vell bed both legs taken off, and Clark had one kg and h a lf o f hi s side torn away by the explosion of one of our shells. Oar men were brow all day in bury ing the dead ; the wounded were all kindly cared for, and sent ,down to .New Orleans to be better cared for, and when fully recovered administer to theth the oath of allegianCe. Upon the whole, we consider this one of the most brilliant little achievemerds of the age, and there is no use in disglising the fact, our western troops cannot be exled. One instance : at one point of our line, was sta tioned one seal& of an. Eastern Battery of '8 guns. This Battery was taken by the enemy six times; and each lime was recaptured by the Wisconsin boys. The last time it -was taken it made the Wiscom6n boys wrathy, and they threw away to one side their guns, and with one yell they rushed in and retook them and man ned the erne themselves, and they held it. The gallant and heroin Duncan, (as the New Orleans papers were used to term him,) was also here, but having once previously tasted the quality of our physic, took the precaution and left. They left word that they would pay this place another visit, but I rather - think they will be a little more cautious when they come again. If they do come, they know full well we will be here to receive them, and we will be no ways backward in sending amongst them a few of our lampposts out of, the mouth of Whistling Dick. It was very evident thatthey had been disoppointed in their calculations. They would not have made the attack as soon as, they did, had they not expected to have re ceived the assistance of the ram. This was part of the agreement. The ram was to have been in front of the city, and to have engaged the gunboats laying here, whilst they engaged the land force; but owing to the force of circum stances, the ram could not keep her part of the appointment. I will admit that she tried quite hard, but she did not expect to meet at Baton Rouge a veritalde ram in the shape of the gun boat Essex. Immediately after our fleet had came down from Vicksburg, the two rams find ing that they_could not coax the Arkansas out from under the batteries, they came down the river to Baton Rouge.. The rebel ram finding that they had gone, she came down the river' With the troop to act in consort with them. The programme was all made out and well ar ranged ; but there wag one act of this play that they bad not counted on. On the morning of the , attack, whilstour troop were engaged with the enmity, about 6 o'clock, the ram Arkansas was diicovered just rounding a point.' The Sumter, with the stars and stripes flying, slip ped:her cable and went up the river to attack her. The Essex followed. The little Sumter steamed ahead quite rapidly.. The Arkansas tried to get out of the way, but it was of 'no earthly use. The Sumter hit her a mhack, and shoved her on the beach, and then fell back for the Essex to come up and engage her ; but be. I ah uld come up. she was set. on fire by cape with part of the crew. A portion of the crew was captured, and some of them burned. the burned for over one hoar,-when the blew up, and that was the last of the terrible rem Arkansas. , I have been on shore several times in the city of New Orleine, and I have found out that not withstanding the presence of General Butler and his troop, they do not hesitate in talking se cession ; and they openly , declare, that if it was not for the presene,e of the gunboats in the riv er, they would very soon drivti. the Yankees. •ne gentleman told me that of all Northern troops, New England troops were the most de testable. When we came down the river we stopped at Plaquemine and at Donaldsonville, and sent a boat on shore and brought off the Mayor of the respective places, and the captain intormed them that he was authorized by the Commodore to notify them to remove from the city all , the women and - children, ea he , was de termined to burn the place down • that he had borne with them long enough, and he was de termined to burn and destroy every plantation on the river. So you may expect that we will have Stirring times on the river for some time to come. We have been constantly on the move—first one place, then another—and thus we expect to be for some time to 'come yet. And it may very possibly happen that me will have to burn New Orleans yet. Gen. Butler has not force enough here to hold these places, and they annoy our transports considerable in passing up and down the river. . I think you up North should hurry up and come over into Macedonia and help tut. We have suffered much,, and we are willing to suf fer more. Only take Richmond, and all will be welt A portion of our bomb flotilla has sone there to help little Mac. Now we want men ourselves. We cannot pass along the river but what we are fired upon by hidden.. - riflemen in the swamps and woods ' • and many. a poor fel low has kissed the decks of our vessels with his heart's blood. But we will fight them as long as one man lives. Only give us the permission to carry on the war as many of us desire, and we will soon open this river free to all. My love and respects to all. I have not time to particularize them by name. Affectionately your son, JACOB. AN iNOMRNT.-A day or two after the battle of Cedar Mountain, Brig. Gent John W. Geary came through Baltimore to the residence of hie father-in-law; at New Cumberland. After being placed in a special car by Hon. Judge Casey, of this city, who accompanied him, a fine-looking and richly dressed lady appeared at the whitlow of the car in which the General was lying, and said to,,,him: "Gen. Geary, in beTaLf of the Union ladles of Baltimore, allow me to thank. you and the men of your command for your brave and noble condgct in your. late battle. I am sorry, in deed, to see that you are so severely wounded in the arm. Accept the warmest thanks, Gen eral, of a Baltimore lady, but who is none the leas Union for that." The General, although weak and exhausted, raised himself from his conch and replied: " Madam,,,l accept your thanks with honor and pride, the more because they are proffered me by a Baltimore lady, a place where the dis play of the American flag means more, and where it costs more to be a patriot than in the free States of the North ; and as for my shat tered arm, I expect that, Madam, to do good service for my country yet."
