Of that many-threaded drama, with its sudden and strange surprises, its confounding of prophecies, its moments of despair,the dread of foreign interference, the interminable campaigns, the bloody batlies, the mighty and cumbrous and green armies, the drafts and bounties—the immense money expenditure, like a heavy pourlag constant rain—with, over the whole land, the last three years of the struggle, an un versal mourning-wail of women, parents, orphans—the marrow of the tragedy concen- trated in these hospitals—(it seemed some- times as if the whole interest of the land, North and South, was one vast central pital, and all the rest of the affair hy Danges)—those forming the Untold and Un- written History of the War—infinitely greater (like Life's) than the few scrap: distortions tuat are ever told or writ!

That afternoon (Saturday) an attack, sad- den and strong, by Sionewall Jackson, had gained a great advantage tothe Southern army, and broken oar lines, entering us like a wedge, ard leaving things tn that position at dark. But Hooker at 11 at night made a desperate push, drove the secesl forces bac! restored his original lines, aud resuine nls plans.

It lost many, mauy brave men, yet it took vengeauce, ample ven- geance. Butit was the tug of Saturday evening, and through the night and Sunday morning, I wanted to make a special note of. It was Jargely in the woods, and quite a general en- gagement. The night was very picasant, at Umes the moon shining out full and clear, all nature so calm in itself, the early sam- mer so rich, and foliage of the trees— yet the battle raging, and many good tellows lying helpless, with new accessions to them, every minute amid the rattle of muskets and crash of cannon, (for there Was an artillery contest, too,) the red Lite- blood oozing out from heads or trunks or limbs upon that green and dew-cool grass. The woods take fire, and many of the wound- ed, unable to move, (especially some of the divisions of the Sixth corps,) are consumed; uite large Fpaces are swept over, burning the dead also; some of the men have their hairand beards singed; some, splatches of burps on their faces and bands—others holes burnt in their clothing. The flashes of fre from the cannon, the quick flaring flames and smoke, and the immense roar— the musketry so general, the light near- ly bright enough for each side to see one another—the crashing, tramping of meo— the yelling—close quarters—we hear the Secesh Fells—our mea cheer loudly back, especially if Hooker is in sight—hand to hand conflicts, each side stands up to it, brave, determincd as demons, thay ofven charge upon us—a thousand deeds are done worth to write newer greater poems on—and sUijl the woods on fire—still many are not only scorched—too many, unable to mova, are burned todeath. Then the camp of the wounded—O heavens, what @ scene is this? is ibis, indeed, humanity—these butchers’ shambles? There are several of them. Toere Ubey lie, in the largest, in an open space in the woods, from five to six hundred poor fel- lows —the groans and screams—the odor of blood, mixed with the fresh scent ef the night, the grass, the trees—that slaughter- bouse!—O, well is it their mothers, their sis- ters cannot see them—cansot conceive, and never eonceived these things.
