THE EVENING STAR. 'NION FOREVER! A patriotic correspondent of the Richmond Whig oncé (years ago) held forth in the follow- ing glowing strains: Pevish the hand that Id dest: The temple pfuu ice! Perich the heart that hopes for joy in ite consuming fires. Let: ot the monster be forgot Who dar’s to light the flame, But curse him with a traitor’s lot, And with a trai or’s name. Our fainting hupes refare to die— Our tettering bulwarks stand, _ And freedoms banner still oats high (ers nnited land! The stare that cem its azure folds May cease awhile to shine— But tremble not! The Arm that holds ‘The tiag-statf, is Divine | While the dark raven bodes despair, And still our tear renews, The noble Eagle. high in air, His opward way pursnes, He dreads not there the Reapeney wrath, Though al thunders roll— But soars above the tempest’s path, Exulting to the goal. A WOUND THAT WAS VERY SLOW TO HEAL. Three Months in a Military Hospital. “Boys, you will now have an opportunity of proving to the enemy what Yankees can do. {know I can depend upon you. Be steady, and when I give the order to charge, let every man remember he is fighting for ourglorious Union, and that the honor of dear old Maine is atstuke.’ Sosaying, our Colonelrode slowly to the top of thehill toinspectthe enemy’s posi- tion. The “old msn,” as we called kim, was in hiselement. The bullets were flying around like hail, an occasional shell would fall un- pleasantly near us,andall this caused our Colonel’s nostrils to distend, and we noticed that he sat very straight on his horse, and was, contrary to his custom (I may state in paren- thesis that he is a cross eld bear), deucedly af- tableand polite. He is one of the old stock, was in the regular army before the war broke out, andis famous as astrict disciplinarian and abard tighter. Weallcursed the old fel- jJow upand dewn hill on ordinary occasions, he is so severe; but in action we deemed him a glorious old cock, and managed generally to follow him through, he did soinspire us by bis manly depertment and daring courage. “There they come. Steady boys; don’t fire till the word of command,’’s»outed the Colonel, as he galloped along ourlines. The rebels were close to us; on they came, yel- ling like madmen. They were within a hun- dred yards when the order to fire was given to us. We poured @ deadly volley into the ranks of the enemy. «Now, boys, the bayonet. Charge—charge!” The colonel, ashe gave the order, fired his re- volver ata rebel officer who had dashed at him. The man fell mortally wounded, and our old commander, pushing past him, rode into the midst of the surgingrebel masses. We followed, and back went the enemy before our impetuous charge. There was no standing against therash of our athletic men, who, shoulder to shoulder, pressed irresistibly for- ward. Atew moments moreand the rebels were in flight. The sinkingsun shed its last rays on our victorious colors, and lightened up the faces of the hundreds of dead and dying who were lying close together. Among the latter I deemed myself. As we were charging a bullet had struck mein the side, andI fell bathed in blood. «Shall I stay with you, Captain ?’ asked one of the men who saw me fall. I endeavored to waye him on, but fainted from pain and lossof blood. Whenl recovered to consciousness I was undergoing great agony from the probing of arather mexperienced surgeon, who was determined he would extract the bullet which was stillin my side. This he accomplished at last, after making me sniffer excruciating pain. He pronouneed me out of danger; buat said that my recovery would be slow, and that he would see that 1 wns cent to one of themili- tary hospitals in Washington. The Colonel ; came to see me: was, to my astonishment as kind as a woman, and, thanks to his careand solicitude, I was duly sent to Washington and comfortably stored away among a lot of other young officers, all, like myself, seriously ‘wounded. _ For atime Isuffered terribly; the weather ‘was very warm and my wound was intensely painful; but at last I felt itless, and with the cimination of pain came returning health and vigor. We were all tenderly cared for. The ladies of Washington visited us regularly, supplied us with all those littie comforts which go far towards rendering the endurance of pain easier, while they also affect the mind. A man who feels himself cared for is never so long in | recovering from bodily ills as those left to bear them alone and uncheered bysympathy. Asa general thing, the ladies who visited us were of a mature age—matrons, who knew all about sickness; but occasionally younger ones came to see us—some from curiosity, others from a sincere desire to be of service to the wounded. I was writhing one day apa my fevered brow ached terribly, “when 1 felta dampened cloth laid uponit gently, and a soft hand pressed my fingers, which were convusively clutching the sheets. Iopened my eyes, and saw bending over me 2 fair, beautiful girl, with large dark eyes, which were filled with tears. I gazed at herin wonder. How beautiful she was! She turned away with a blush from my earnest glance, but presently came again tomy side. ** Would you hke for meto readto you?’ said she softly. «Oh! yes,somuch, Pray tell me whatour troops are doing!” was my eager inquiry. «The doctor forbids that,’said the young lady{ but I may read to you such things as are not likely toexcite you. I willread this beauti- ful poem.” So saying, she drew a chair near my cot and began in a sweet pleasant voice to read Byron’s “Chide Harold.” I closed my eyes to listen tothe melody of hertones. She read distinctly,clearly. I felt a sensation of pleasureséuch as I had neverexperierced. The pain of my wound was forgotten; I drank in the sound of her voice greedily, until at last the words lost their meaning, aud [ fell into a sound elgep, the first I had enjoyed since I re- ceived my wound. Theeffect was great. Our doctor prowotinced mein afair way to avery speedy recovery, and was rather disposed to boast about the eflicacy of his treatment. Con- found your drugs, doctor; twas the young lady that did me so much good. She bathed my head and read tome, and was se gentle and kind, I felt relieved atonce, and went into a sound, sweet sleep.” « What young lady ?” inquired the doctor. «: Why, I mean the beautiful one, of course.” “They are all beautiful. What is her name?!” « Angel—cherub,” was my enthusiastic re- ly. Pon, ah,” replied the doctor, with a cynical grin; they are all angels. Can’t you tellme her name? Is it Smith, Brown or Jones?” «Doctor, you arean unromantic old cur- mudgeon, as nasty as your medicines, and I can justtell you that unless that yoone lady comes back I shal! not get well.” J said this with a full determination of keeping my word. «By Jove! that will not do,” said the doctor; “‘we must try to find this Miss or Mrs.” Doctor, don’t aggravate me; she can’t be a she is too young, too beautiful, too”. ome, come, none of that,” growled the doctor, seizing my wrist; “the fever is return- ing. Just you keep quiet, or I will forbid the entrance of any female into the hospital: I will’ Lstarted OE: She was coming towards us. “Hallo, what's this!” said the doctor, per- ceiving my agitation, and turning to look in the direction of my fixed gaze. “Ah, the angel, I suppres ‘She came near us. In her handshe held a beautiful bouquet, ° ‘4Pardon me; this will never do,” said the doctor, gruffly; “the scent ef these flowers ‘will give him asplitting headache.” Saying which, the old brute threw them out of the the window. I was terribly vexed atthe old fellow, and inwardly vowed I would rather die by her flowers than tolive through his medicines, «WhatcanIdo for him, doctor?” said the sweet creature * Nothing, ma’am; let him go to sleep again. You may, if you choose, read to him; but you must pot flethim talk. He is is too much ex- cited already.” She sat down and began at once reading something, I know not what; in fact, 1 did not care, She was there—I heard her voice—and that was all I cared for. I suppose I dozed, as OFFICIAL. ‘War Derarrxest, Wasi D. C., July 17, Circular, No, 47. I.

William Whiting, Solicitor ot the War De nt, is published for the information ot all concerned: «When a& person has been drafted, in is suance of the ‘ollment act of March 3, 1863, notice ot such draft must be served within ten days ther atter, by a written or printed notice, to be served on him, personally, or by_ leaving a at hislast place of residence, Tee quiring him to appear at a designated rendez- yous to report for duty. Any person failing to report for duty after notice LEFT AT HIS LAST PLACE OF RESIDENCE, or served on him person- ally, without furnishing a substitute or paying the $300, is pronounced by law to bea rter; he may be arrested and held to trial by court- martial, and SENTENCED TO DEATH. “If a person after being , and before receiving notice, deserts, notice may still be served by leaving itat his last place of resi- dence, and if he does not appear in accordance with the notice, or furnish the substitute, or pay the $300, he will be in law a deserter and must be treated accordingly. There is no way or manner in which a person, once ‘ enrolled,’ can escape his public duties, and when drafted, whether present or absent, whether he changes his residence or absconds, the rights of the United States against him are secured, and it is only by performance of his duty to the country, that he will escape liability to be treated as a criminal.” WILLIAM WHITING, Solicitor of the War Department.
