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.`

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

fell 'back.

'oll4r they wont out tad* for'sham'i' When
they found that the rebels had lelt, leaving all
their dead and, wounded behind them for our
men to care for, or to bury: They left on the
field 800 dead - and wounded men. 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'

The programme was all made out and well ar

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 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.

as one man lives. Only give us the permission
to carry on the war as many of us desire, and

My love and respects to all. I have not time

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."
Those who heard the conversation were deeply
affected by it, and were furnished with another
proof that there are , yet many true, noble

Sea :—I regret to inform the Department,
that at the town of Donaldsonville on the Him
sissfppl, they have pursued a uniform practice of
firing upon our steamers pasaing up and down
thesiver.
I sent a message to the inhabitants that if
they did not disomtinue this practice I would
destroy their town. The last time I passed
up in Baton Rogue to the support of the
army, I anchored about six miles above
Donaldsonville, and heard them fire upon the
vessels coming up, first upon the Bailie Rob
inson and next upon the Brcoklyn. In the
later case they made a mistake, and it was so
quickly returned they ran away.
Next night they fired again upon the St.
Charles. I, therefore, ordered them to send
their women and children out of town, as I cer
tainly intended to destroy it, on my way
down the river; and I fulfilled my promise
to a certain extent, I burned down the hotels
and wharf buildings, also the dwelling house
and other buildings of a Mr. Philip Bandy,
who is said to be the captain of guerilla& He
fired upon our men, but they brought him off.
