TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1882. {COMMUNICATED.) t from a Letter on the Battle-Ficld.} * fExtrac * * © * *£ * & This battle (Antie‘am) has been the most sau- g@uinary of the war, and the only one fought with design and upon military principles. The @rrangement of our corps—the overlooking Position of the commanding General—the send- ‘img into action the right and the left—the closing up of the center, and final success—excites bewildering admiration, and carries the mind te the great fields of Austerlitz and Wagaam, fought by Napoleon. Of all this I have spoxen. ‘The feart history of such & coifliet, purchased by the life and blood of twenty thor ny must be found in the hospitals. War has its @leries—Ddut it has its ten thousand demons in these human tortures, that make the eye-halls &che—the heart Mecd—the lips palsy, and tho brain reel. The sight is at first positively unen- durable. The lif blood of some is siill Mug away in silent calmness—while the di severed: aud maniac brain of others give _Yise to sounds Gog grant I may not again wit- ness. r Bat ye mothers who now seek a son—or wife a@husband—or sistera brother—orsons a father— kmow and be consoled that even the a of | mercy is watelifuk and beite: ik bestowed upon your loved one than might a: first seem possible. It was inthe hospital where rested the gallant Hooker, that I learned the history @f those mythical words so often seen and so little understood, “S. T.—1860—X." Anything alleviating the sufferings and saving the lives of our soldjers is a national blessing. I wit- | nessed Some astonishing -restita from this | article F . It is well known the effect of burnt gunpow- | der and excitement is thirst, which, added to | - the loss of blood in the wounded, creats the necessity of a reviving stimulant. In this par- ticular hospital, the physicians were allowing their patients to drink Plantation Bitters, other- wise called S. T.—1860—X, and although the ‘wounded are most numerous here—this division having opened the fight at 5 in the moruing— the men were mostly composed, and there was bat very little fainting. The article acts upon the stomach and nerves in 2 most incompre- Densible manner, superior to brandy, and wiih. | e@ut subsequent stupifying reaction. It origin- ated in the West Indies, containing calisaye bark, winter green, lavender, anise, clove buds erauge, snake root, &¢. preserved in St. Creix Rum—ime S, T—1-6U—X being a secret ingre- diént, not yet revealed to the public. It is principally recommended for want of appetite, disordered liver, intermittent fevers, slomachic difficulties, &c. I understand it was somewhat in the Southern States previous to the ‘war, And it appears an agent of Jefierson Davis recently applied to the proprictors for the privilege to make it for hospstal purposes @uring the war, to which they made the fol- lowing reply: $ id New York, Jan. 16, 1562. tr. — + Agent of, elc.: Dear Sir: In reply to your communication, Offering us ‘Fifty sand dollars for the re- cipe and right tomaké the Plantation Bitters for hospital purposes during the war,” say one acon is a liberal ene, considering it woula cost us nothing to comply, and that other. ‘wise we can derive no revenue from the South- ern States; bat, sir, our duties to our Govern- went and our ideas of consistency wonld not allow us toentertain it, although it might please ‘us to assuage the sufferings of your misguided We remain very respectfully yours, wie shi re. 11 RAKE & CO. ‘These gentlemen give the history of certain imgredieuts of their article for over two hun- @zed years—showing that through all changes ef the medical profession and its practitieners, strength, composureand cheerfulness have been derived from these sources. Dr. Woods, in the ‘Washington hospitals, informed me that he had been unable to procure an hour’s sleep in one patient for nearly two weeks, and he was fast sinking and crazy, until the Plantation Bitters eame tohis knowledge, when oné day's trial gave him anight’s rest, and he was now fast recovering. I am surprised our Government has not equalled Jefferson Davis in energy, and adopted this invaluable article in all our hos- pitals.

New York, Oct. 20.—The following special dispatch has been received by the Herald from Cinennati: Morgan, with 1,000 rebel cavalry, entered Lexington yesterday, our small force there re- treatmg before him on our main force at Georgetown. Morgan paroled about 75 sick in the town, and after remaining about three- quarters of an hour he retreated towards Man- i chester, and afterwards moved in the direction ; of Frankfort. Gen. Dumont, upon learning his presence, started in pursuit, with one reri- ment of infantry, in wagens, 1,000 cavalry, and one section of artillery. He overtook and de- feated Morgan to-day between Versailles and Frankfort, and is now in full pursuit of his scattered forces, moving to s Lawrence- burr. Morgan is now between Gens. Dumont and Buell, and it is thought he is not likely to escape. One of Humphrey Marshall's regiments, com- posed principally of Tennesseeans, deserted Lim en masse yesterday, and were brought into Paris to-day by ourcayairy. Marshall's forces are represented as being greatly demoralized and anxious to leave him. LATER.

Gen. Dumont isin pursuit, but there bas been no fight be- tween Dumont and Morgan yet. General Buell is reported to be just south of Mount Vernon, and Gen. Crittenden’s arm: corps is further south in pursuitot Bragg. It is supposed that the rebel army are aiming to cross imto Tennessee by Big Creek Gap and Wilson's Gap. Gen.
