'A gentleman of St. Louis, a farmer friend of

lines from hta scrap book. They were written
to the memory of the ilvtfd of the Illinois Ilegl
merit, and will I rd (lli peculiar and sor
rowful Interest, shij' lllolr author now sleeps
Hid sleep of death. He littlo thought, when,
years ago, he penned this tribute to tho mem

his country, and at tho handi of those Mho then
were his countrymen i
Whcro rults the ruhlng It to (Iraudc,
Here peacefully they sleep :
Far from their native Northern land,
Far from the friends who weep.
No rolling drum disturbs their rest,
Itcnentli the sandy rod
The mould Ilea heavy on each breast,
Tho spirit Is with (led,
They beard their oouulry's call, and camo
To Utile for her right ;
Kncli bosom tilled wllh mirllal llamo,
And kindling for the light.
Light was their mcufurrd footstep when
They moved to seek the foe. ',,
Alas! that hearts so firry, then,
Rhould toon be cold ami low.
Thry did not die In engcrjlrifc,
Upon a well-fought Held;
Not from the rid wound puurrd their lllo,
Whcro cowering fuemen yield.
,, Death's guiltily shade woa il.mly cait
Upon each manly brow
Hut cnlminil fearless to the last.
They sleep In silence now.
Vet shall a grateful country ghe
Her honors to Ihrlr name ;
In k'ndicd hearts Ihelrmimnry lives.
And history guard their fame.
Not unrcmcmliered do they sletp
lipon a foreign strand,
Though near their graves thy wild waves

Thou nulling IHn (.ramie.

Perry Fight.
Tho Wiuhlngton corre? poudent of Ihe New
York HV. gives the fullest nml most clear no-
count of ihULitllu that wolmvo seen. Itnp-
lears that Col. Itaker und his command were
the victims of a tltiicuduous blunder I
WVsuiMiroN', Oct 23d. Tho full and tnie
ilnry of the battle near HarrUou's Island has
reuchul us wllhlu the last hour. Now comes
Ihe naked truth, In nil Its stunning mid distres
sing horrors. Col. linker's body 1ms Just arri
ved In town, guarded by a squad of Van Allen's
cavalry, and Is now lying In tho mansion of Col.
J. W. Webb. Capt. Francis G. Young of New
York, QunrtcrnuMcr of linker's Drlgade, came
up In command of Ihe sad cnvalcudc, accompa
nied by Major Smith or the Calllornla First.
IIiwlup obtained a turmlso of tho real position
of affairs, I had started for Inwards' Ferry this
eienlng, but meeting Iho procession, have re'
turned with my friend dipt. Young, from whose
lips I lake down the following terrlUc tunima
ry of Monday's event ciKidensiug It as much
as pot.ible in order lo forward it by to-night's
mall.
Wo have met with n sickening repulse, one
Involving tho lots of nearly one thousand men,
In killed, wounded and mining, and of many'
brave and skillful ofilccrsj and accompanUfi
by scenes of horrqr uncqualltd In nuy previous
battto of tho war.
On Sunday evening General filonc, being
persuaded that nq important force of tho enemy
remained nlon? Iho upper l'otomac, and In olw
jllcuco to orders from headquarters, commeBced
lilspauago of the river nt Harrison's Island.
The lMnt of Iraiitlt was about die miles above
Kdwsfda' Ferry, and nearly an equal dlttaoce
from Lccsburg. Tho Uland Is a low, fertile
strip of laud, several mllffln icagth, so dividing
llo river tli.it the Maryland cbaimel Is not a
furlong In whllb, and that ou the Virginia side
not mere than 20Q feet. Six companies of Ike
Fifteenth MaeJ)uttt4 Regiment, under Col
Devan, nod two companies of Ike Twentieth
-TammanyV New York, arrived t Ihe rlvw
about threo A.M. Monday, wi4 e,ommend lo
cro'S. At sunrise iey were an est me Virginia
side.
Before daylight nn order came lo Colonel
Ilikcrto march tbo sVst battalion of tho Cali
fornia rcglme.lt to Conrad's Ferry, two mils
south of the island, and Ihei), If he beard firing,
lo go to Ihe support of Coggtwcll and Devau.

hear skirmishing shots on the bights, which
continued without much Intermission through
the morning. Kow we began to experience the
difficulty which was the chief cause of tho terri
ble, scenes which closed tho day.
No adequato aicana oftrniifporlatlon bad been
provided. It seemed nt If the column was ex
pected to walk across on tho water surface.
Nothing btlt one old scow, capable of liolillntr.
perhaps, forly men, appeared available on cither
side of (he Island. If tho Massachusetts men
had any oilier boats they wero not visible In the
morning. At lenglh'I discovered n largo scow
In the canal, nnd two hours were consumed In
getting it over into Ac Maryland channel. It
would hold about sixty men. Colonel Baker.

General Ilarvy and myself went with the first
load to the Island, and (hero tupcrlutendcd Ihe
transit of our men.
It was 12 u. before our first company lauded
nt the foot of tho buih-covcrcd prcclploo which
rises abruptly over ono hundred feet from the
river bed on the further side of the river. Four
houn mora had elapsed balorc tho Inst company
Imd landed. Sections of tho Second Ithodo
Islanifllnllcry, comprlrlng two howitzers, two
two field tnioolliborc-i, nnd one rlllrd gun, went
over with us, tho men drugging them up Ihe
hlglita wllh grtatdintcully and spirit.
At Ibis tlmo Irregular fighting was going on
above. It seems that Colonel Devcn had In the
morning moved with n tmnll dvtnchment In Ihe
direction of LceOmrg, shortly after his forces
h.td crossed, had advanced one mile, there met
Iho enemy's skirmishers In feeble force, nnd had
retired to tho brow of the bights. Before this
the Quartermaster of tho Masfachiictts loth
had gone alone to a point within n mile ol the
village, bad returned, crossed Iho river, and re
ported lo Gen, Stone that there wero no holllc
rorcea In that region. But after Col. Devon fell
back, his men vcre placed In a scml-clrcular
clrnrlug, or natural forest opening, covering
five or six norm, with Its base resting on the
edge of the bights, and tlunkid and fronted by
forests. The enemy, becoming bolder, advanc
ed In scattered parlies to tho edge nfthowood;,
and from ten a. m till four I-, si. kept up a ran
dom, annoying fire upon our men. Tho latter
sheltered tliemeltesus well as they could, lying
Just bctow tho rhl.'o, und uwnltul reinforce
ments.
At four then, onrwhole fo-oe hn'd crowd and
a-crndul, Cul. Baker nnd stair wllh the rest, and
the troops ucrosunVnngsomcAluttfiom thu con
cealed enemy's tire. Many had diopjKd and
In-cn carried down the hill.
We nrked Colonel Baker what he thought of
iitr.ilrs, Hu said that he thought we hud a good
poillloti ; could fitll back for shelter behind the
rldgc? "Vrs," af,o, "but what's In thoie
woods!" He answered: "1 think tho enemy
are conccaUd ou our right." A private had re
ported that Ihcro was no force on the left, but a
ila-p rnvlnc, bidden by the wood. Wo then
proposed sending tklrmlrhcrs lo mako a rccon
uotrnnco an the right, and Captain Markoc, Sec
ond Lliuteuant, Williams and mj self advanced
with Companies A aud I) of Iho California Ilrgt
ment. Company A got In front ou rising grouud

charge of Iho artillery. Only four guns were
plnnlid In the field, Ihe rilled gun having been
liaulid upi)t the wrong place, aud afterward
seized by the cm my und spiked.
Whcu our sklrmbhlng companies had reached
Ihe edge of the w oeds, suddenly the enemy, hith
erto concealed, rose wllb a yell and fired a volley
thru began fighting In lliclr umul manner; first
giving n yell and volley, then leading and firing
at will for a few minutes, then ceasing an equal
limp, then filvlpg another yell nnd volley ; and
so on, pouring n murderous fire Into our Utile
bund fur the space of half an hour.' Tho whole
woods around swarmed wllh Ihim. They Imd
no artillery and no cavalry. Our Ithodo I.Ian
tiers, exci-pt tho officers, dctcrltd their guns ; but
Col. Baktr, LUut, Col. Wlslar, Col.Coggswell

Hred the guns themselves, nldul by Company G,

The latter -was conspicuous for bravery

statement (4t General Gorman would shortly

war, nnd rtolved to stand our ground. Gene
ral Rikcr ordered us lo go for reinforcements.
Rysk-hi tltoo Coggswell was wouudiii Wlstar
MsUdlUu. The enemy were growing more da
ring, rushing, out of tho woods, taking tome
prtttwa, and firing hotly.
,Ju4t tlmi a rclx;l officer riding a white horse

Bkcr,berlnguson,wha a tremeEiduousoiet
was made by llieircliels. One man rode forward,
prcsuifd a revolver at Dakar and.fked all Its
ehargfts ut him. Our gallant Isadsr fell, aud at
the same mowHt all our lines wero driven back
by the overwhelming form opposed lo them.

The one bottVh Iho Virginia channel wns spetd

the further shore. Muskets, coats and every
thing west; thrown nsldc, and nil were desper
ately tryH to escape. Hundreds plunged Into
tho rapid current, and tho shrieks of the drownt
Ing added to the lmror of sounds and sights.
The- enemy kept up their fire from the cliff
above. All irtt terror, confusion and dismay.
A coptnln of the Fifteenth Mastachhtctts at one
moment -cbirged gallantly up tho hlll,.lcndlng

the main body of Ids regiment. Other portions
of the column surrendered ; but the rebels kept
up tholr lire upon thoso who tried to crors, nnd
many not drowned In Ibc river were shot In the
not of swimming. Night came on. At ft r. m.
nil of our band whose forluno It wus to return
had landid on Harrison Inland, nnd the fire from
the Virginia bights had ceased. Tho rebels
took nil our guns but one. When I left yester
day they shouted lo us, telling us to come over
nnd tnkc awny our dead sons of under a
flag of truce ; nnd had also mounted our own
guns on the bights, and warned us to leave the
Island In four hours. Tho cause of this sad
havoc was that wc had no proper means of
transit nnd retreat.
Tho Slandoror.
Thu slanderer Is n pest, a disgrace, nn Incu.
bus to society, that .hould I") subjected to a
.
tio.v cautcrlxatton, and then bo lopped off like n
dltugrceablo excrescence Llko Ibe viper, he
leaves n shining trail In his wake, Like a ta
rantula, he weaves a thread of candor wllhn
web of wiles, or with all the kind mcndaolty of
hints, whispers forth his talc, that, "llko the
fubllng Nile, no fountain knows." The dend
ay, even tlio ueau over wnose paio-sueoieu
forms sleeps the dark sleep no venomed tongue
can wukc, nud whoso pnlu lips have then no
voice to nlcnd, ore suljecLd lo the scandalous
attack of thu slanderer
Who wears a musk that Gorgon would disown-
A cheek of parchment, ana uu eye or stone. '
I think It Is 1'ollok who rays the tlundcrer It
tho foulest whelp of sin, whose touguowas set
ou lire In bell, nnd whose legs were faint with
haste to prapagato tlio lie bis soul had framed.
'Hu has a lip uf lies, a face formed to conceal
That, without feeling, mocks ul lhoe who feel.'
Theio Is no uulmal I deplse more than these
moths and scrajs of society, tbo malicious ecu-
"These ravenous flihes, who follow only In Ihe
wake.
Of gTcnt sblps,lircnue, perchance, they're great.'
O, who would dlrarrnngc all society with
their fabe Inp-wlng cries I The slanderer makeii
few direct charges and osH-rtlous. His long,
envious lingers point to no certain locality. He
bas an Inimitable thrug of thu shoulders, can
give peculiar gla"nccs,
"Or convey a lllel by a frown,
Or wink a reputation down."
He seems lo glory In the misery he entails.
The Innocent wenr tho foulest Impress uf bis
smutty palm, and a soul pure as "Aretto suow
twlco dotted by Iho northern blnt," through
hts warped and discolored gluncs wears a mot
tled hue.

Incivent At IUxen'a Xmmu A thrilling
Incident occurred, t tho bouse of Colonel Webb,
Jut! n '.tie remains of Colonel Baker were being
removed lo tho grave, His brother, Surgeon
Baker, crime forward, and, choking with tears,
requct ted that the body might bo borne out by
n number of young soldiers, vbo bad rescued
it, at the peril of their lives, from tho hands of
tho enemy. When Baker full, It was found that
after he bad been pierced In front by six rifle
bulWs, the barbarous enemy had thrust two
bayonets Into the back of tho mutilated corpse.
Tho attempt wns then made to carry him off as
a trophy, but Ihese young heroes sprang to the
rescue of nil (hat remained to them of their
commander. They fought hand to hand wllb
rebels, faco to free In dote and deadly encoun
ter, until the body was recovered and borne off
la triumph to the Union camp. It was well
that such a guard pf braves should be tbo hut
to bear the .hrouded remains of such a man as
Baker to bis final resting plaoe. They marched
by his sldo In Iho procession, and when the
prayer pf Mr, Dvnlson was concluded nt the
cqmctery, they camo forward and gently bore
It to tbe dark and silent t auD. The volllcs fol

The cry of wolf had been so often raised that

rebels the Important Intelligent of Cul. Gar

tain it it the rebels came expecting nn rasy
victory, and talking confidently an the way of
marching onward to Iiutirllle.
In the meantime, reinforcements wero hur

cavalry, tho 22d Indiana, the 11th Ohio, with
a battery of artillery, and tho 1st and -M
Fit Tennessee, In the order I have recited
them. Some picket firing occurred during
Saturday oud Sunday, with a nu, It Is be
lieved, of one man on each side. Monday
morning, the 21st, Jutt ihrec months after Hull
Hun, the battle commerced. The first, nnd
apparently the most determined ntloek, was
au attempt lo sclzo the " Winding Hladcs''
road. After being rcpultie at that point,
thry attempted to approach by the direct
London rond. Hut thry were met with such
resolution that they soon abandoned the rflurt.
Again they rallied to carry tlie corneal hill.
By this tlmo our reluforcemeiiti were all up
except the two Tennessee regiments that had
left Camp Dick Ilobinson the morning pre
vious, and by forced marches arrived nn ilia
ground about 0 o'clock Monday idght, Thu
light at the hill was severe and- bloody, 'llm

to be Union forces, am were permitted to ho,

proached within twenty itaout, when at the
command "Give 'cm the hwd." a terrible and
destructive fh was opened upon them. It

without waiting to deliver their Sre. Our
victory was now complete. An attack at
