this incident of the battle at Stone Bridge: A staff officer from Charleston, engaged in the battle of the 21st of July, says: I rode out the day after the battle to view the ground, and passed piles of dead in various positions. Under a large tree I saw a body lying, very handsomely dressed, with a fancy sword, and a handker-chief over the face. It attracted my curiosity. I stopped, removed the handkerchief, and saw one of the handsomest faces I ever met with, of a boy not more than twelve or fourteen years old. His appearance and dress indicated high social position; probably he was a temporary aid to some general officer. To ascertain who lie was, I examined his pockets, and found a Testament, in which was written, James Simmons, New York. From his loving mother. My son, remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth. I wished very much to take the body away, but I was six miles from quarters, on horseback, and it was impossible. --Evening Post, Aug. 10.
