Their incentive was loyal duty,,their guer don death. One votive moment amid the festivity and cheer of the season to the memory of those who, To the army of the Cumberland the de cade from December 24, 18,62, to January 4, 1863, was fairly crowded with suffering and exposure: On the 24th the command or Major General Rosecrans. forty-six thousand strong,. commenced its grand movement from in front of Nashville on to Mur .freesbc;:o, the three great corps each in its own road, and all converging to the be leagured town. A strong reserve thllowerl in the centre, Which was shifted from right to left as one or the other wing was threat ened. Here commenced in truth the battle. While the Confederate threes of Bragg, Polk, Hardee, and Breefiittridge were comfortably housed in Alarm winter quarters, built with substantial stone fire places, among a smiling community, their ancestral servants at hand—our army under a heavy rain lasting steadily for days, and varied only by a roaring storm, was slowly, through fund and water, fight ing its way down to the host ile entrench ments. It was five days beti ei tough of troops to regularly open the e could be massed before the town, and all this time was consmned in the wort e::- haustive and fatigueing labors in bringin: up the immense arLillery and supply trains. At times the wagons and cannon had lit erally to be lifted out of the marshes and almost carried by the hands of the sol diers. Night marcles were the standing order, atleast for the reserves, and a column frequently spent ten hours of darkness in making half as many miles. Oh I how we longed through those weary and hopph2ss nights for the hottest fighting, the dpadliest charge, to put an end to this pros!rating and wretched slavery. At last it came.

ON THE ADVANCE 1) EF BATED After- heavy preliminary skirmishing on Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday eve ning's sun—the last of the year—went down on us a badly defeated and slaught ered army. Driven four miles back, our right wing disastrously turned, our artillery _despoiled, our Unnumbered dead and four thousand living in the hands of the enemy —most armies would have thought them selves beaten, but for us it was only a ter rible misfortune to be at once and on that spot retrieved. Our field was to be lost only with ourselves. I think every private, every boy felt that. There, on that dismal night—that frosty, bleak December night— without blankets, lvithout coffee or meat, without a solitary lire (for we dared not to make them,) among thousands of their comrades dead, or what was worse, dying ottr men threw themselves, without a mur mur. or a whine, on the bare frozen ground, and 'slept, waiting for the coming - of the morning—and that morning uneheered by a single ray of hope. I felt appalled there at the bravery of man—l did homage at that awful altar to the unnamed and count less heroes. Next morning most probably meant death, but not a man wept or flinched. It was fighting pure and simple, robbed of all its adventitous glory ; there N,v d s nothing to excite, nothing to stimulate, save desperation. The laurels of Chaplin Hills and Shiloh were paling. It was bat tle, UM the battle of the vanquished with their flushed and confident victors. Under the, gloomy pines—cold, numbed and hungry, a chilly snow lightly covering with equal fall corpse and sleeper—with not a star to. break the dull, heavy clouds that kindly wrapped the scene in darkness —with no reinforcement• or human aid to hope for, save their own unconquerable hearts and . strong arms, the worn survi vors of the shattered army of the Ctunbcr laud laid down, ready for such A NEW YEAR as God might send them. On• Thursday, in the cold gray dawn of morning, with compressed lips and braced nerves, theline was. silently taken up. I cannot tell here the history of the long hours of those battle-crowned days. En gagements which in the days of Revolu denary story would have made their lead ers famous, and. blazoned through time in school books and minstrelsy, were here merely affairs of Col. So-and-so. Many a bloody onset was only a reconnoissance. Suffice it, on that day we held our ground and gained a few rods. On Friday we steadily pushed our lines over the red mire of the clotted corn and cotton fields ; and on Saturday, in black darkness and under a driving tempest, we stormed the last en trenchment; and swept the fluctuating field. 110 W 1T WSS DONE To the reading world the taking of Mur freesboro, the Western week of battles, doubtless seemed a brilliant and glowin achievement. The conventional idea is doubtless, largely composed of blue and gold uniforms, bucephalic charges, mad dening music, sashes, banners, plumes, and a general explosion of military the atricals. In reality it was a contest of suf fering, a trial of endurance.. We fagged out the Southern blood. Coming to the field worn out and prostrated, it was an unequal strife in condition as well as num bers, but the sturdy Northern yeoman had made up their minds to stay there, and did, till at last the impetuous chivalry, weary of hurling themselves on a human wall, could stand it no longer and fled. The space between the town and our lines was won inch by inch, crawling now, and now charging through a sheet of flame. Many a brave man fell merely in gaining a few furrows. All the area of strife was covered by sharpshooters,•and in the din of conflict their rifl'•s were unseen and noiseless messengers of death. A convul sive plunge, and a stretched corpse with a little red spot in the forehead told the tale —somebody had fidien, is unconscious as his neighbors of the direction of the fatal ball. All the fighting ground was ankle deep in mud, or worse. Charring was no more an impetuous dash, but just a steady march into the jaws of death. On this' slippery, swimming ground we had to eat and sleep. In the centre the approaches were covered by trenches dug secretly, and Occupied by night. Too low to stand up in, too wet to' sit down in, the wretched occupants had to remain bent and strained, or to kneel over thighs in water. A single peep over the embankment was a „signal for a dozen bullets. To complete the scene, the rear was cut on; and provisions gave out. Corn on the ear—about one ear to four men per day— was issued to the troops, and the lighting of Friday was made on that . novel diet. I saw horses, not one hour dead, neatly carved to a skeleton—all gone to steaks. Hard crackers, Mess pork, and clean water were the delicacies oftlie season. Privation of every. kind. and degree was the feature of the struggle and the lever of victory Dirty, nutd-colored, lumpy, shivering men did the work, and passed through filth to glory. What read like an intoxinting success was a hard-earned and labcrious strife, and the dearest fruit of victory was rest. In strange contrast to the sombre hues of: those long dreary days stands out one scene so startlingly dramatic in its ellbut, so wild in its heiliancy, that its recollection seems like the flights of oriental fancy. The closing act of that week of suffering must be forever prominent as the picture of the war- 7 perhaps as *the picturesque battle piece of the war. Unique in con ception, terribly splendid in its execution, TILE ISIGUT BATTLE of Javary li, is seared forever on the mem ory of its actors,-and destined to an artistic immortality in song and painting. About dusk our sharpshooters stealthily began to advance, fur the purpose of gain ing the dark line of a dense cedar forest in front. Their approach instantly caused a sudden ' umination of the woods by the rebel riflemen, studded behind every tree and rock. If may mention here that when we took this place of timber we found platforms raised behind many of the largest trees for their sharpshooters, enabling them to extend their range and mislead the aim Of our men. To stop this our artillery was brought into play, posted in a huge semi circle. The couchant lions opened their throats, and shot and shell fairly rained on the devoted spot. The earth literally trem bled and quivered with the roar of a loin dred cannon, and when we laid clown it seemed to beat and trob with the pulse of a living creature. instantaneous with our attack 'leaven's wild artillery opened on both armies. A furious storm sprang up from the south. The wind roared and crashed with the shell through the black forest. The rain; streaming in torrents, was driven directly in the faces of our troops. We who stood only a flm - steps in the rear of a range of batteries, were black ened and almost strangled with the sun eating clouds of thick moist powder which were carried into our faces directly from the muzzles of the guns. 1;y this time the action was general. Charges were repeat edly made on our infantry and batteries, and at last our divisions Were set in inn tin. The scene be ante weird and ex citing beyond conception. The effect of every movement of the contending forces was written in eh:traders of deadly light; the movements themselves were wrapped in thick darkness. Itegiment after regi ment of rebels advanced noiselessly to the edge of the woods, and all at once a leaping line of flame told their presence and object. The fierce, cries of the victors, borne on the angry gusts, told now and again of some merciless bayonet charge, and one could almost fancy that he heard, mingled with them, the hopeless wail, of the lest in battle. I. have' read of nothing lubistory, I kite v of nothing in the dreamland of romance and imagination, to equal or approach the intimial splendor of those three black and bloody hours. I. thought of the demon scenery of Dante, of the dark imagery of Milton, of all the fiends that fought in hell, until it seemed as if one could almost feel the real presence of the Prince cf the Pow er of the Air riding triumphant. VOLUME XL NUMBER 18. For three boors this strange and un earthly battle raged. The blackness of darkness was relieved only by the deathly flash of musketry or the volcanic glare of artillery. The cheerful "forward—charge" of the successful, the despairing almost hopeless, "steady, men, steady," of the re treating officers, could be heard from time to time, and there was so - lathinginhuman in the sound. The balance wavered again and again. The tide of victory was marked only by the advancing and retreating sheets of flame, the red surges of a sea of death, or, more dreadful still, by the relentless shouts of the victors.aud the skrieks of the trodden. At last shriek and shout died out tmetll er, and without a cheer, the victors of an unknown victory laid down upon the silent Did Lincoln, ever sympathetic with loy alty and devotion, speak too strongly, when telegraphing to liosecrans, he said—" God bless you and all with you. Please tender to all, and accept for yourself, the nation's gratitude for your and their skill, endu rance, and dauntless courage." the "Fat Contributor," in a recei.z; contribution to the Cincinnati Time% Speaks as follows in behalf of the lazy man, "not by way of' eneourv_ling bin hi his laziness, or in the remotes'6 de gree to influence others to adopt hi. style, but as demonstrating that some good even may be mingled in the comr psition of good for-nothings." It is a subject on which Griswold can speak intelligently, and ids opinions are therefore entitled to consider ation. "The lazy man is nearly always good natured. Ile never hies into a passion. He might crawl into one, if it were pcs.:i ble, but the, idea of him flying into a pas sion is preposterous. "Whoever heard of a]azy mini break b) ,, into a bank, where a crowbar had to Co used, or drilling into a safe? Nobody. Not that he might not el vet his neighbors goods therein contained, but his horror of handling-crowbals and drills would always deter him.fro.el actually committing a by r glary. He never runs away with his neighbor's wife, simply on account of tl:e horror he has of running. If he is ever known to run, it is—run He rarely lies about his neighbors, for it would be too much exertion, but he (-tn. lie about a bar-room all day. “He is of inestimable service to a bil liard room, keeping the chairs warm and watching the game, for few would care to play were there no spectators. The fact that he does this without pay, day in and day out, shows the unselfishness of his na ture. What an industrious man, who con siders his time worth something, would want pay for, the lazy man generally does for nothing, showing a freedom from mer cenary motives that should go far to his credit. tions, insurrections or other public excite ments; and don't make a nuisance of him self by tramping around the country mak ing incendiary speeches to promote public discontent. "In his own neighborhood lie is never a busy body iii other people's affairs, for the very idea of being a busy-body at anything would drive 'him out of his head. By the way, if he ever out of his head you would have to drive him out, for lie wouldn't have the enemy to go out of his own ac cord. "No lazy man ever run mad. If he went crazy it was because he couldn't go any where else without walking. "Lazy men don't disturb the quiet of the neighborhood by putting up litctories, fur naces and such abominations. "Finally, lazy men don't get -up base ball clubs, which, if nothing else could be said in their favor, ought, in these days of excessive base ball playing, to entitle them to public gratitude." • AN ANECDOTE WORTH. PRESERVING.— A Paris correspondent guarantees the fol lowing: "A Frenchman, a • prisoner in Edinburg, having managed to escape, took refuge in the powder magazine. When thiPauthorities wished to seize him, then found him sitting on a barrel with a lighted match, and threatening- to blow up the town. The authorities reflected prudently and the 'result of their deliberations was that it would be better to starve the French man out. But they reckoned without their prisoner, who loved good cheer, and was determined to live well. In consequence, he called out that he would blow the whole town to pieces if he did not have three meals a day; he would write out the bill of fare. Sawney succumbed, and the de of the prisoner went on incrcasin. Some times he had a serenade, under his window then a review of the garrison ; afterwards a sham light, in which the troops representing the French army beat the highlanders. This state of affairs continued Until by the cessation of hostilitic ; and the peace which soon followed, his further imprison ment became tinticcessary.

Ile was astonished to see so dirty au object emerging from his rooms, and inquire the meaning of .it. The servant reluctantly told him. It soon reached the ears of the queen, and she was seen crossing the court, leading the two princesses by the baud, towards the servant's quarters. Her majesty sought out the woman. made her daughters ask her pardon, and sent them at once to the nearest millinery and dress establishment, to purchase a complete outfit—dress, bonnet, shawl, gloves, &c., and present them to time servant in lieu of the dress the * had spoiled. The articles were purchased with tl:eir own money, and consequently their supply of it was cur tailed materially ; but this they said they did not care for in the least—in fact, it rather pleased them them otherwise—it was only asking the woman's pardon they didn't like. lIEAvEn DAms.—One of the agents in the construction department of the Union Pacific railroad says, that in_ floating tics Becomes down the Laramie river, it comes neces sary to build dams to produce a find in consequence of the low stage of the water :is is:frequently done in the oil regions of Pennsylvania, to float the flat boats loaded with oil, and which saved our fleet on the Red River during the lute War.
