Uur citizen soldiers inexperienced in tho battlo field will find tho mot terrible moments just before tho battlo begins. A soldier in his narration of personal adven tures iu tho Mexican war, published in " Howe's Achievements of Americans," in his discretion of the battle of I'alo Alto, the opening battlo of tho war. When all was ready, both armies etood st.ll for about twenty minutes, each wait- and duiiug this tiino I did not seo a tingle man of tho enemy move ; they stood liko statues. We remained quiet, with two exceptions: General Taylor, followed by bis staff, rode from left to right at a slow pace, with his leg thrown over liko a wo man, and as ho passed each regiment ho spoke words of encouragement. 1 know not what he said to tho others, but when ho camo to where we .stood, ho looked steadily at us ; I supposo to sea what ef fect tho novel circumstances in which wo wore placed had upon us, and as ho gazed, he said : " The bayonet, my hardy cocks I the bayonet is tho thing !" Tho other oc casion was that of Lieutenant Ulack, of tho engineers, who volunteered to gallop nlong tho enemy's lino, in front of both :. in..: ...1 , fa . vj .utgub ul)U UVUU 3I1UL u hundred times. Ono of tho officers of tho enemy, doubtless, thinking he had somo M UU lm;,fc iw , AJiav.u, uimuvir, JIUIU HU UUCUUQU 10 him, but rodo on, and then returned aud reported to Taylor. Thus stood thoso two belligerent armies, face to face. What wcro tho feelings of thoso thousauds ? How many tbouehts and fears wcra crowded into thoso fow moments? Look at our men I a clammy sweat is settled over their faces, slightly palo, not from cowardly fear, but from an awful bouse of peril, combined with a de termination not to flinch from duty. These aro tho moments iu which true soldiers resign themselves to tho reflection that whatever may befnll them they act with honor ; these aro tho moments when tho absolute coward suffers moro than death when, if not certain ha would bo shot in his tracks, he would turn and flee. Fight ing is very hard work ; a man who has passed through a Uvo hours' fight, has lived through a great amount of mental labor. At tho cud of a battlo I always found that I had perspired so profusely as to wet thro' all uiy thick woolen clothing, and when I had got cool, I was as soro as if I had been beaten with a club. When tho battlo commenocs the feelings undergo a change. Header, did you ever seo your house on fire 1 If so, it was then you rushed into great danger; it was then you went over places, climod over walls, lifted heavy loadi, which you could never havo done in your cooler moments ; you then havo ex pcricnccd somo of tho excitement of a sol dier in battle. I always know my danger that at any moment I was liable to be Killed, yet such was the excitement that I never realized it. All men aro not aliko ; 1 men. some aro cool ; somo aro perfectly wild or ,m crazy; otlicrs aro so prostrated by fear By tho President r the Uuilcd Slates. that they aro completely unnerved an awful sinking and relaxation of all their A rROCr.AMA.Tios. energies takes place, awful to behold ; they ' trcmblo like an aspen, slink into ditches 1 '"r-llCASi A 3oitlt committee of both and convert places, cry like children, and IIousca of Congress hao waited on tho aro totally inscnsiblo to shame dead to I'rcsidcnt of tho United States, and rcqucs every emotion except overwhelming fear of toJai.m to recommend a day of public hu- intant death. Wo had a few, and but a few, of such in our army. As tho two armies wore facing each other, it was remarkable to see the cool ness of our men ; there they stood, chow ing bits of biscuits, and talking about tho Mexicans-somo wondering if they would light ; others allowing that they would, and T , 6 " t"-ut"u i liko demons, &o.

We wore ordered to lio down iu tho grass to avoid tho shot, this puzzled tho enemy and they could not bring their j.ieecs to bear on us, making our loss very small j w any were me narrow escapes, ono ball camo within six inches of my left .-idi Tho force of tho shot was tremendous ; a horso's body was no obstaclo at all ; a man's leg was a more pipo stem. I watch ed tho shot as it struck tho roots of the grass, and it was astonishing how tha dust flew. In about an hour tho grass cauglij fire, and the clouds of smoke shut out the opposing armies from view. We had not as yet lost a man from our regiment. Iu 1 the obscurity the enemy changed their line ".xwU . our regiment, took a now position on a lit' j tie rise of ground. As we moved unto tho r andtLca (ook a man's head on the right, as with a knife. Tho blood of poor Pago was tho first blood I saw ; he was knocked down in the gras, aud, as ho endeavored to raise him self he presented such a ghastly spectacle, that a sickly, fainting sensation came over mo, and tho memory of that night I shall carry with mc to my dying hour. A little later, Major lliugold was mortally wound ed at his battery ; I saw hiui just after it. The shot had toru away a portion of the flesh of his thighs, its force was tremeu- dous, cuttiug oil' both his pistoles at tha locks, aud also tho withers of his horse a splendid bleed, which was killed to relievo him of his misery. Tho enemy tried hard but without avail, to hit our eighteen poandsrs. Tho battlo continued uutil night put an cud to tho scene. W o bivou acked where we were, aud laid on our arms ; wo slept however but little, thinking wo might bo attacted in our sleep, Tho enemy had been severely handled, owing to tho superiority of our artillery. Tho gunners went into it moro like butch ers than military men ; each stripped off his coat, rolled up his sieves, aud tied his suspenders around his waist; they all woro red flannel shirts, and, therefore, wcro in uniform, To sco them limbering andunllmberlng, filing a few shots, then dashing through tho smoke, and tbcu BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA lightening liko rapidity, partly hid from view by dense clouds of smoke and dust, with their dark red shirts and nakad arms yelling at every shot thoy mado,romindcd , mo of a band of demons rather than of miliation, prayer and fasting, to bo obser ved by tho people of tho United States, with religious solemnities, and tho offering of fervent supplications to Almighty God for tho safety and wolfaro oftheso States, his blcssiugs on their arms, and a speedy rc9,to,ratlon t0 Poacoi and whereas, it is fit .

Although our present strugglo for na tional integrity and unity, is as just as any over instituted in tho prostration of rebel lion, wo begin to sco that thoso who havo control of it, upou our tide aro not equal for tho emergency a wavering of purpose seems visible in high places, which seems as if our rulers were lost in the contem plation of the undertaking. The truth is, aud wo aro all, with all our wisdom, be ginning to apprcciato it ; tho most saga cious of us, thrco months ago, knew noth ing of what wo talked about so flippantly We had uo idea whatever of tho duration, tho dcsolatiug consequences of a civil war carried on for but throe months.in a coun try liko this, aud even now we hare no adequate comprehension of what it will be if another spring returns and sees it still unfinished. But how could we, the multi tude know much, wheu tho best uformcd wcro far at fault, Tho distinguished Pro mier of the present Administration, a gen tleman of rare attainments, aud wonder ful subtlety, assured of tho citizens of New York city, only a fow days prior to his ta king his seat in the present cabinet, that tho rumbling of tho then distant thunder of rebellion, was but a pajsiug spasm, and that iu "sixty days'' all would bo peaee, contentment aud repose. Tho presidmt himself, after exchanging views with men from every section of the Union, delibe rately told the villagers of Springfield that tho present commotion was "merely ficti tious," and the good, cozy man labored under that pleasing delusion, until facts stubborn aud naked, changod his opinion How then could tho million havo any just conception of the approacning troublo,whcn tho captain and pilot both cried out "all's right and well." After tho inauguration of tho Adminis tration tho President and tho conservative men under him, did endeavor to prove their predictions, of no danger, truo. Thoy could not hold out, however, against ianatieism and folly. Tho bloody teach ings of "au impressible conflict" wore to bo put in practice, aud tho practical illus tration of tho relative power of tho two sections tested to tho very death. Siuco the commcncmcut, Abolitionism has had control. Thoy aro moro responsible for tho uuanimity of the South in this rebel liou than i auey aud all his crew. Their violence and hatred of everything South ern drew Alex. H. Stephens, and others like him, into the rebellion ; it was their criminal thirst for blued that hastened Seott to lose our first great battle, and it will bu their infamous counsel which will retard everything calculated to secure a lasting peace. Wc aro anticipating, however; we meant to diroct attention to. tho following extract from tho special Washington cor respondent of tho New York World, a pa per believed to bo tho mouthpieeo of tho conservative wing of the Cabinet. It looks 'ike a feeler, and as if the Southern rebel lion will do acknowledged by our govern ment as belligerent. A sentiment in favor of tho recognition of the rebels as belligerents is gaiuiug ground among leading men at tho capital. The opinions of somo on this subject have from tu0 capture of so many icd'cral troopl and officers at Bull Hun. No loyalist acknowledges tkorisrht of thn southerners to claim the attitude in ques tion ; that thiir privatcersmen aro any better than pirates, their generals entitled 10 ua auuresseii as such, or their pseudo government worthy to cuter into couiiuuni- cation with tho administration it seeks to overthrow, But it is urcd that from military necessity aud for military convenience wo must rec ognize them, under protest, as belligerents and then utij them. Our short experience has already shown tho difficulties opposing another courso j that where enemies, though rebels, muster armies which can bo counted by lens of thousands , thoy command for themselves by might, if not by right, any equal ad vantage which tho formalities of modern warfar insure to contending parties. Peoplu say that it is beneath tho diguity of government, to seud flags of truce to insurgents, our pride has a sadder fall iu tho mtsi intoicourso which has been kent up since the 21st of July ; that, if wo ad dress Beauregard or Johnson at all, we must give thcui thsir rebel titles j that 1 - , SATURDAY AUGUST 31, 18GL Johnson, however wrong his causo, was consistent in refusing to notice a message ititended for hiui and addressed "To whom ' it may concern;'' that Beauregard was equally consistent m detaining Harris and Magraw ; that, iu not hanging tho crows of tho Savannah and Petrel at tho yard arm or bringing them to instant trial and death, wo havo already half recognized tho validity of tho southern lctters-of mar quo; that such recognition is practically cuforoed by Davis' threatened revenges in cvont of contrary action; in short, that tho rebels havo got us on equal ground, so far as concerns the treatment of prisonors captured by cither sido and on cither land or sta. It is not my department to suggest the courso which manly aud humauo pol icy should dictato in this serious and trou blesome matter. But the fact is a3 I havo stated it. Opinion in favor of a recognition of tho rebels as belligerents is gaining ev ery day among influential Unionists in Washington. They say that a great gov ernment always makes itself ridiculous in theoretically ignoring what it is forced to practically acknowledge ; that no middle ground can bo maintained ; that Englaud and Franco can never be expected to con sider men us pirates whom wc arc afraid to hang. Tho Now York Herald also says : In tho present case tho disadvantago of refusing to exchange is clearly on our sido. If our government hang as traitors or pri vateers tho prisoners thoy hold, tho South ern Confederacy may retaliate and hang ten for every one. Tho prisoners held by tho United States aro fow ; the Coufcder- ate btato3 nave a largo number. Until tho action of our government became decided in reference to tho privateers, tho Confed erate government gavo the prisoners they had taken from us every indulgence. Now they hold them in close conliucment. Tho effect on enlistment will bo exceeding ly bad. Thousands will shrink from en gaging in a war in which, if thoy aro ta ken prisoners, they are liable to be hang ed ; aud if they are already culisted tho reflection that they may meet so ignomin ious a fate is not likely to add to their coolness or courage ou tho day of battlo. It cannot improve the Union causo or con tribute to tho success of our arms to sig nalize tho war by needless cruelties or re vivo the barbarities of less enlightened times. We publish the foregoing without fur ther comment, more than to remind the Democracy that, no matter what arrango mcntsaro made, either for tho prosecu tion, or tho suspension of hostilities, tho faithful pen of history will record tho fact of a groat party, generally dominaut in tho country, rushing to tho protection of their Government, even when administered by thoso whoso counsels brought our troubles about. Let partisans sneer at it, if thoy will ; but it is a sublimo spcctaclo to sco the Domocraoy of tho country fighting tho battlos of an Administration which they had opposed, and whoso political tenets they hold responsible for much of tho mis chief which afflicts us. Lot corrupt men grow bloated with the plunder war furnish es; let speculators, contractors and camp followers watch for pelf, "tho pickings and stealings" of tho camp ; let tho sneaking sharper, who watches the soldier's payroll, cry ont for tho suspension or pacification of tho war, tho Democracy of tho country will cling to their Government, and cither conquer an houorablo pece, or fame as lasting from "a well fought war."
