nses of the war I would throw up my commission and go home. Schleich was a State Senator when the war began. He is what might be called a tremendous little man, swears terribly, and imagines that he thereby shows his snap. Snap, in his opinion, is indispensable to a military man. If snap is the only thing a soldier needs, and profanity is snap, Schleich is a second Napoleon. This General Snap will go home, at the expiration of his three-months' term, unregretted by officers and men. Major Hugh Ewing will return with him. Last night the Major became thoroughly elevated, and he is not quite sober yet. He thinks, when in his cups, that our generals are too careful of their men. What are a th-thousand men, said he, when (hic) principle is at stake? Men's lives (hic) should n't be thought of at such a time (hic). Amount to nothing (hic). Our generals are too d-d slow (hic). The Major is a man of excellent natural capacity, the son of Hon. Thomas Ewing, of Lancaster, and brother-in-law

g to await the arrival of the other three divisions of Reno's corps. Willcox's arrived about noon, and Sturgis's and Rodman's between 3 and 4 o'clock, but there was no advance until 5 P. M. The falling back of Cox's division is alluded to by Colonel Ewing of Scammon's brigade and by Major Lyman J. Jackson of Crook's brigade. The former says: We fell back to the original position until the general advance at 5 P. M. Major Jackson, after speaking of fighting the enemy behind a stone-wall with ty. The reports of the stubborn fighters in the Federal army on both sides of the pike are models of modest propriety.

In regard to the casualties of the opposing forces, the losses in killed and wounded were greater on the Federal side than on the Confederate, because the one thin line o

He was first directed to send only one division; and on the same afternoon Osterhaus was movin heavy force on his left. For this purpose Sherman's troops were put in motion at Bridgeport. Ewing's division moved to Shellmound, and thence over the mountains toward Trenton, some distance up ty, crossed the Tennessee to Chattanooga, and at a proper time took position on Thomas's left. Ewing's troops were stealthily withdrawn from near Trenton, and ordered to follow the others of the coy drift-wood, and was ordered to join Hooker. On account of bad roads, caused by heavy rains, Ewing's march was more tardy than was contemplated, and he did not reach his assigned position until tolumns doubled on the center at full brigade intervals, to the right and rear; and the right was Ewing's column, prepared to deploy to the right, on the supposition that an attack might be made from
