Of courso tho anil on which tho hatte’ of tho lato War were fought has undorgono many cbanges in various ways. Where nothing but the virgin soil appoured then muy now bo found cultivated flelds and pleusant homos shel- torfog huppy households. Stono Kiver batric- field 18 no exception to tho rule, though, because of tho buldly marked character of the countrys, {tmay bo loss troublesome to recognizo tho main points in tho battle fought there than icisateome otbor places. It 1s not dificult, for fostanee, to trace tho ground over whicb Shere dan's division passed tho first and second days of the fight. First, wo approach tho hillover- looking tho extensive cotton field beyond which the Rebels aro supposed to be massed iu force, and, in order to untnas their position and draw wbelr fire, the Fourth Indinna Battery fs rent forward Into the open spaco with the akirmish Une, leveling fences in thelr forwnrd move- ment. When balf-way across tho fietd, march- fog in Ine, thoy are saluted with a flereq firo from a Rebol. battery, but, Jnstead of going into uction at such adisadvantage, thoy ‘wooel to the right In sections, and, galloping to tho neck of woods visible n short distance to the right and front, uniiinber thelr guns, and, hnv- for a fale view of their cnemies, open tho bat- ‘le, and succeed In tho course of three or four sours {n silencing the Rebel battery, In tho meantime tho infantry regiments havo ad- vanced fn force, lald down on the ground In renr of tho fighting battery, tho Inv of biue extending to right ond loft a8 far as the eye van reach. ‘Tho skiriuishers tn front advance and attempt the cupture of the guns doserted by tha Robala, but are compelled to lay in tho long grnas Until darkness allows them to rotrent, for at every movement of tho grass and weeds through which thoy crawl thoy aro saluted by yolley after volley from tho enemy's riiemen, Hore, right on this spot, Sheridan's troops bly- ouuckod for the night, and long bofore daylight the ext morning were ready for the tray. Just as diylght stresked tho sky the memorable Rebel charge was made, proving successful oth on tho right and loft uf Sheridan, but fallcd to tind Little Phil uapping. Here it was that Gen. Sill met his dentu, and here It was that the division held its linc ngninst halt tho Nobel urmy util, nlimost surrounded, tt fell duck In order, bein entluded from both Hanks and hard pressed in front by a superior force. Tho Various polute xt which the successive Atcciaiee, occurred bore can be traced with rea- aunable necuracy today. And it Is the same on tho left of the bntilefieid. The memorable charge uf tho Union troops across the river, the apot where the Rebel Kentuckians under Brock> iurldge wore so mercilesy slaughtered, where Witlich headed bis tnvinglite Thirty-secoad und Thirty-tifth Indianu, and the rest—all theso ‘places can be traced with accuracy. Ahandeome monument bay beon erccted in memory of the noble fellows who sacriliced thoir fives in the causc, and a well-cared-for cemetery contains the roming of the dead, CILICKAMAUGA. By superhuman olforts in the direction of pedestrianism ono may sulve the Chickamauga puzzle. At Crawfish Spring. on tho right of the Union line of battle, stands the Lee house, whore Gon. “Hosecrans establishod bis head- quattors. ‘Tho bouso Itself bas undergope no wurked changes, but the surroundings havo a diferent nppowrance.

Gordon & Lee's mill hus been destroyed and rebuilt since tho War, but has the same monerat appearanuc as of old, with the exception of the addition of a cottan compress. Thouce the nes of battle can bo traced tholr entire length to Thomas’ loft, where such a yallant wtand was ninde by tho iucomparadic Thomas. Tho lines were changed during the night aftor tho first day's fight, and aimple breastworks uf rails, atoues, and logs’ erected by ba Union boys, Afterwards tho rails wore gonerally removed by the natives, and wome of the logs wero utilized for enwing into lumber; but logs and stones wero ieft in sul- olont quantities to mark tho lino of buttle, ‘Tho |iue of retront Into Chattanuoga can also ‘be traced with accuracy, <A visit to the bill oc- coupled by Gen, Thomas as his headquarters dur- ing the Inst day of Chickamauga battio roventa some stattling ovidences of tbe flercu struggle made thero by our massed artillery to cover the retreat of the army on that fateful Sunday evening.

All the solid snot, shell, gwords, sabres, and everything of any 8124, have boon gathered up by the natives and sold to visitors ne souve~ nira; but bullets may yot be found, us before re~ marked, by patiou! search, Many trees baye been explored oF the ax for tha pos seasion of tholr bidden troasures; but, as tho Dullots ara incased itt six inches of solid wood, it fa quite difficult to oxtract them; and, besiics, the ownors object to the operation, as it destroys the timber, which is, of course, a source of con- siderable revenue. On the Thomas headquarter ‘Dill there stands a pine treo iy which tho writer counted more thin sixty bullets, Tho bulict leaves a wound in tho pin trove which never heals and from which sup continually exudes, Arrived in Chattanooga, tho atrango sight is presented of rick Leing munufaatiired from 1 Farthworks built by the Union men on their arrival in the town ‘known as Fort Nogley, Many of the late visitors carriod bume a brick~— not In his hat, but in hia sutchol—aa & lous souvenir. Fort Woud still rotains its shapo, ‘but most of the other fortificntions have hoon obliterated by time or demoliahod by the march of Improvement, out, MISSIONARY RIDGE. Many of tho luto excurslonists to Chattanvoga felt that thoy would have no diifoulty in fading the Identicn! spot at which thoy scaled the ridgo in that grand and euccossful churgo of the rom- nantof the Army of tho Cumborland under tho Jeadorship of tholr {dotizod Thomas—that Incar- Dation of soldlerly qualitics which @ gencration May not bring to tho front. But {t was found that Father Time bad not boon idle taczo matiy Yesra, and that tha foroads of the cjemcuts on ‘the hillsides bud so changed thelr appearance thut recognition was next to impoaaibie, How. ever, most af the searchers wera satiaiied that they had found what thoy looked for, out a fow aticks for cancs, and left perfeutly satistiod with thelr pligsimage to Dixie, ’ FRANKLIN, ‘The movements precoding the battle at Frank- a, Tonn., may bo ot interest to the general Teador og showing tho wanderful {otuitive per Cepuon possessed by Gen.

Then commenced @ raca between the Union an Rebel armies for the possession of Tennessco's Capital, marching on parallel roads.
