The thousands who are resting red in their graves would awake and utter their solemn protest.--Stonewall Jackson, Polk, Stuart, Rhodes, Morgan, Preston, Smith, and thousands over whose remains a monument to the unknown dead shall be raised, are speaking in tones of thunder against it; and can it be the living only will be dumb? Sir, those who have died in this war are not dead to us. "'E'en in their ashes live their wonted fires.' "They are, in the light of their example, more valuable than the living.--Their spirits walk abroad and stir the hearts of living men to do or die in the cause of liberty. We cherish their memory.

Leave of absence was, after considerable discussion, granted Mr. Chilton, of Alabama, who is called home to attend to important and indispensable private business.

risk fight, a determined advance, ending by our occupancy of the rebel rifle-pits. The fighting was principally with musketry; artillery, on both sides, being very little used at any time during the day.
