ierson that the infantry and train, under the most favorable circumstances, could only make a few miles beyond Salem, and to regulate his march accordingly. Train arrived at Lamar about noon; issued rations to the infantry and rested the animals. It rained heavily until one o'clock, P. M., making the roads almost impassable. Moved headquarters to Widow Spight's house, two miles west of Salem, and Colonel Hoge's brigade of infantry to Robinson's house, four miles from Salem (west).

ooked at the piece of fractured crockery remaining in his hand for a few moments, and then drily observed, No more of that on my plate if you please. Another one of the boys was saluted in the same way by a shell travelling with its peculiar infernal yell a few inches above his head, while he was walking close along the line of battle, when he came to a halt, and without winking an eye, looked in the direction of the flying shell with a quiet good morning. Early on the morning of the fifth of June, it was announced at headquarters that the rebels had evacuated their works, and were in retreat. Indeed, on the night before, General Hooker's advance line had occupied their works, and their movement continued through the whole night; and in the morning none were to be seen except a few cavalry scouts lingering to observe our motions. Immediately there was a rush of eager men curious to inspect the rebel fortifications, and see the effect of their firing. The former were found to be

ith the air full of strange, terrifying noises — hissings, screechings, howlings of balls, bullets, and deafening explosions — all darkness, excepting the blinding flashes and sheets of flame! The altar of our country drips with blood. It is a Sabbath evening sacrifice, pure and precious, freely offered. Fathers and mothers have given the firstlings of their flocks, with thanks that they had them to give; they have given the best, they have given all. Patriotism is not dead. Cold Harbor, June 5--Night. Our men lie in the face of an active and wily enemy, ready at any moment to avail himself of our slightest relaxation of vigilance.

Cold Harbor, June 5--Night. Our men lie in the face of an active and wily enemy, ready at any moment to avail himself of our slightest relaxation of vigilance. He may attempt a surprise at any moment, and on any portion of our line, and the vigilance of our men is therefore kept constantly at its utmost tension. The report of a musket, a low voice or whisper, the sound of a footstep, the breaking of bushes, is heard in front of some point of our line; for aught we know, it may indicate a stealthy foe advancing, silent, and cautious, to attack us; and the possible danger is greeted with an instantaneous volley. For this reason it is difficult at night to form any judgment of events by the amount of noise made. To-night, however, the firing was so severe, and kept up so long, as very naturally to produce the impression that the enemy was making a most desperate and determined assault on our left wing. Inquiry subsequently elicited that although an attack had been made, its magn
