A correspondent of the Chicago Tubunt,
writing from llenton, on the 20tli of Dectmbtr
l,l, give I he following incident of tbo battle
of Wllion'a Creek I
A few day Ik fore our regiment received or
der to join General Lynn, on Ms much In
Wilton' Creek, I lie drtininnr liny of uur com
pany wii t.kui tltk and conveyed lu the lm.
pilnl, and on tlic ivtnlng prtccding the day
that we were to mirc'i, a negro wu arretted
within the Mm of our ramp and brought be
fore our Captain, who aikid biro what butlnctt
lie had within the line.
" I know a drummer that ynu would like to
cnlift In your company, and 1 Lave come to
tell you of It."
He wat Immediately rrqoottcd to Inform the
drummer that if he would enlltt for our tliort
term of service, he would be allowed extrtt pay.
nnd to do thl., he mint be on the ground eurl;
In the morning. The negro wai thin pawed
beyond the guard.
On the following morning there appeared be
fore the Cnptnln't qunrtcri, During the beating
of the reveille, good-looking, middle ugru
woman, rirw'ed lo deep mourning, leading by
the hand sharp, sprightly-looking boy, ap
parently lwelt or thirteen years of age. Her
story was soon toM. She wot) from Halt Ten
nettce. where her huibatid had been killed by
the rtln, and nil her properly dettrnyed. She
had enmc to St. J.ou.1, In seeri-h of her titter,
und, lint finding her. mid being destitute ol
money, the thought, If lie could procure a til
nation for her l'y at a drummer for the rhnrt
time thnl we hnd to remain In the service, she
rnnld find employment for herself, and perhaps
Hnd her tUtrr by the time we were discharged.
During the rehearsal of her ttory, the little
fellow kepi hit eye intently fixed upon tin
countenance nf the Ciptuln, who was about In
express the determination not to lake so small
a boy. when he siokn out i
11 Don't be afraid, Captulu t I ran drum."
This wnt spoktn with so Inuih confidence
ihnt the Captain Immediately observed with n
smile
Will, well, Sergeant, bring Ihc drum, and
nnhr our ATcr to come forward."
In a few moment the drum wos produced
nnd our flfer, n tall, roundslioiillje.l, good
natuntl fellow, from the Dubuque mines, who
food, when erect, something ovir six fell in
(light, soon made hi nppeuruuer.

he stooped down, with hi IisihI resting upon
hi l.uv. that were Ihrowti furward Into an
ncute angle, and after peeping Into the little
'cllow't lice u moment, lie iilistrved :
" My little man, can you drum?"
"Yii, sir." he replied, -I drummed for
Captain Hill. In TeunesKf."
Our flfir Imimtliately cninmrnced ttrnlght
ening himself upward until all the amlit In
hit icrson had dlsnppi-arrd, when he placed
hit fife in hit mnulli und playid the ' Flowi tr
nf Kdinborough," one of the inost d filcult
thing In fnllow with the drum Ihal could have
lccii selectiil, and nobly did the hry fnllow
him, showing himself tobeuuMer of the drum
Whui tin- music ceasid, our Captain tumid
to the mother and oOmrtcil :
" Minium, 1 will Uke )uurbny. What It
hit namot"
Kdward I."li replied j then placing
her hand upon the Captain's arm, she said
- Cuptsln. ir he Is not killeil ," here her
maternal feelings overcame her utterances, and
abe btiit down over I ho boy and kissed him
upon Ibe forehead. A she aroc, she ob
ner led" Captain, ynu will bring him batk
with ynu, won't you?"
" Yes, yes," he n pliid, " wc will be certain
lo bring him back with ui. Wu shall be dis
chargid in six weiks."
In un hour after our company led the Iowu
First out of camp, our drum and fife playing
Tha girl I left behind me." Kddie, as wi
cil'cd him toon became u great favorite a lib
all the im n in the company. When uny ol
the boys hud relumed from a horticultural ix
eurslon, Kldic't hare of the pi-ailie and mel
ons wut first apportioned out. During oui
heavy fatiguing inarch from Holla lu Spring.
Held, It wus ofiin uuiu.ing lo see our long-
legged fifer wading through the. mud with oui
little drummer mounted upon his batk and
always lu that position when fording slnams.
During the right at WlU.n. Cm k,, wus
.tullor.ed with a part or our company on the
right of Tut ten's battery, while Ihc balance o
our company, with u pari of the Illinois regi
ment, wat ordered down into a deepraWm
upon our left, In whlih it wat known ihut n
portion of Iho enemy wut concealed, with
whom liny were toon engaged. The conlrtl
lu the ruliie continuing some hours. Tot len
suddenly wheeled hit battery upon I lie enemy
in that quarter, when they soon rctrealid to
the high ground behind their linet. In leu
than twenty minutes after Tot I en had driven
Iheenuny Iroin Iho ravine, tho word passed
Irom mun In inun throughout the army, ' Lyon
is killed." und soon after, hostilities having
ceused upon both tidts, I he order came for our
main furce to full buck upon Springfield,
while a part of the Iowa First and two com.
punirs of Ihc Missouri regiment were lo camp
upon the ground, aud cover Iho retreat next
morning.
That night I wat detailed for guard duty,
my term of guard closing with the morning
call. When I went out with (he offlcen u a
relief, I found Ihal my pott was upon a high
imlnenre that overlooked the deep ravine In
whloh our men had engaged toe enemy until
Toltcn'a battery cane to our aatltUocc. It
a; t dreary, lonciomc I .at. Ibe wood had
gone down In the early part of the night, while
the start twinkled dimly through a htiy at
mosphirr, lighting up imperfectly the sur
rounding objects. Occttlonally I would plftcf
my ear near the ground and li.trn for the
sound of fnoUtepi, but all wat tilent tare the
far off howling nf the wolf, lhat seemed to
scent upon the evening air the banquet lhat
we had been preparing for him. The hour
passed t'owly away, when at length the morn
ing light began to streak along the eastern sky,
making surrounding ohjeils more plainly vis
ible. Presently I heard n drum beat up the
morning call. At first I thought It came from
the camp of the enemy across the creek, but at I
listened I found that It come up from the dep
ravine for a few minutes It was tilent, anil
then, at It became more light, I heard It again.
I listened the sound of the drum was familiar
to me and I knew that It was
Our drummrr lioy from Tennessee,
Dealing for help the reveille.
I was about to desert my post to go to his
nis'stuncc when I diicorcrid the i.fllcer of the
guard approaching with two men. We all
listened to the sound, and was satisflrd that It
was no other than Kddie' drum. I
n,ked ptrmiision In go to his assistance. The
officer hesitated, laying that the orders were
lo mardi In twenty minutes. I promised to
be buck In tbal time, and he consented. I Im-
m d lately started down the hill, through the
ihhk unJrrgrnnih, and upon reaching the
valley 1 followed the sound of the drum, and
soon found him seated upon the ground, his
batk leaning ngitlnsl the trunk of a fallen trtr,
while his drum hung upnti a bush In front of
him, n aching nearly to the ground. At toon
at he discovvrid me he dropped his drumsticks
und exclulned I
" Oh 1 Corporal, I am so glad to see you 1
Give me a drink," rctiihlug out his hand fur
my canteen, which was empty.
1 immed ately turned to bring him water
from the brook that 1 could hear rippling lu
the huihcs near by, when, thinking I lint 1 was
about to leave, he commiuccd crying, saying :
Don l leave me, Corporal I can't wulk."
I was soon buck with the water when I dis
covered Ihut both of hit feet had bvui shot
uway by a cannon ball. After satisfying lilt
thirst, he looked up Into my face and said I
" 1 on don't think I will die, Corporal, do
ynu ? I bis man said I would not he said
i he surgeon would cure my fevl."
I now dltcovertd a man lying In the grais
near htm. Dy his drift I recognized him a
belonging to the enemy. It appeared that he
had been shot through the bowtls, and had
'nllen near where Kddie lay. Knowing that
he could not live, and teeing the ciit.dltlon of
he boy, he had crawled to him. tuklng n(T his
Imekskln suspenders, and corded the little fel
low's leg below the ktief s, and then lay down
mil ili.il. While he wa tilling me these par.
titulars, I Ixard the tramp of cavalry coming
low n the ravine, and In a moment the scout
if the enemy was open us, and I was taken
prisoner. I requested the officer lo take little
Cddle up In front of him, ami he did so, carry
'ng him with gnat ttnderness and enre.
When we reached the camp of Ibe incn.y lie
little fellow wat dead.
It is now ubout two weeks since I made
ny rfcape from M't.'ulloch's grasp. I have
remitted for the war, and as we aro llkily to
lie In camp for some lime, I may write again
of other tones through which I have paind

have passed uwny one by one j our hearts urr
Irfi desolate: we are lonely without them.
They have passed with their love lo that
' land from whose bourne no traveler returns."
.Shall we never see them again? Memory
turn, with lingering rtgrct to recall those
iinilrt and the loved lone of lhic dear famll
lur voices. In fancy Ihey arc oftm by our
'do, but ihelr homo is on a brlghlir shore
Tbey visit us In our dreams, floating o'er our
memory like shadows over moonlit waters.
When the heart Is weary with anguish and
t lie soul is bowed with griif. do tbey not come
and whisper thoughts of comfort and hope?
Yes, sweet memory brings I hem lo us, and ll e
love we bore them lifts the heart from earthly
uspiratioiis, and we long lo join ihcm in Ihut

When gcullo dreams are wandering lo the

sweet seraphic numbers. And this bright
vision of the blest dissolve Ibe tumult nf life's
jarring scenes ; they fade In air, and then we
glory In the thought tbst we are heirs of Im

with suih deep reverence and love, those
bright celestial beings of another sphere?
Ah, it Is because they take an interest in our
wel'fare, and Joy over our lucowt In the great
battle of life. They aro not telftsh lu their
happiness, but faiu would bare its enure il

Partoo Drownlow Is In New York, and has
erreral of hi characteristic speeches,
full of Serve condemnation of this causeless re
bellion, which has desolated hi Slate and hit

mcMurr to pulverise the rebellion, to utterly
destroy Ihe selfish author of It, and brand It
for all time as an unutterable crime and die
grace, a a warning lo all future conspirator
against free Government. He I especially bit

whosympatite with the rebellion, and who
aim through political assaults upon Ihe Gov
ernment, or by material aid, to keep the trait
or In countenance or assist their causr, deem
ing them viler even than Southern Secrslnn
Ists. The examples he gives of revolting
cruelty In Tennessee, passing under his own
eye, during the reign ol terror In the Slate,
Justify his exclamation that the spirit of Secet-
sionlim in the South Is the spirit of murder
and assassination It I the spirit ol hell. He
may well wonder to Hnd at the North men
who sympathise with these Infernal murderers.
I send you an extract from his srxech of
Thursday last la New York, at I find it la the
lltrold!
One of Ihe Brigadiers who was In command
of Ihe military post paid me a special visit,
two ol his aids accompanying him. He came
In, bowed and scraped, saying, "Why, Drown
low, you ought not to be here." " Dul your
Generals," I replied, ' hare thought otherwise,
and they have put me here." " I have come
to Inform you lhat II ynj will lake the oath
ol allrglance to ihe Southern Confideracy, we
will guarantee the protection and safety of
yoursilf and family." lilting up several fret
in my boot at lhat lime, and looking him
full in the eye, "Why," said I, "I lutind to
lie here until I rot fruni disiatr, or die of old
age, before I will take the oath of allegiance
loynur Uovirnmeut. I duty your right to
administer inch an oath. I deny that you
have any Uovcinmeut other than u Southern
mob. You have ocver been recogii'xed by
any civilised power on the face of the earth.
nnd ynu never will be." Applause. " 1
will tee the Southern Confederacy, and you
and I on lop of It, In Ihc infernal regions be
fore I will do It." " Well," laid he, " that V
d d plain tn'k." Laughter nod applause.
-Yis," I nplicil." that's the way lo talk In
revolutionary timet." Applause Uut I
must hasten on. 1 will detain ynu two long,
Loud cries of MOo on!" "go on!" Hut
gentlemen and ladies, things weut on. They
tightened up; they grew tighter and still
more tight. Many of our company became
sick. We had to lie un that miserable, cold,
naktd floor, with not room enough for us al.
to lie down at the same lime und you mav
think what It must have been In Dcccmbci
and January spelling each other, one lylnu
down awhile on Ihe Boor, and then anothei
taklrg his place so made warm, and that wa
the way wc managed uuid many became sick
unto death.
A number of the prisoners died of pneumo
ni and typhoid fever, und other diseases con
tracted by exposure there. I shull never lor
grt, while my head It above ground, th
ci ne I patted through lu that Jail. I mol

in my paper at guilty of forgery lino und

thieve and scoundrels thai head this nbcl

I requistid my wife to snd also enough fm
ihe two old clergymen. One of them was pm
In jail for offering prayers for the President o
the United Slates, and tho other wus con
lined for throwing up his hat and cheering lie
start and stripes as they passed his houe
borne by a company of Union volunteers
When Ihe bakit of provisions came in, In tin
morning, Ihey exumined il al the door, wouh
look between Ihe pic und thu brtad, to see it
llure wat any billet or paper confuted there,
communicating treason from a:iy outtld'
Unionist in the old scoundrel liny hud in
jail ; and when the basket went out, ogain tin
tame cenmony was repeated, lo discover
whether I hud slipped any wier in, in any
way. The old man Cato had three sons in
Jail. One of them, James MadUnn C.ilo, a
most cxcmplury and worthy mcmlicr of the
Ilapllst church, who was there for having com
milled no other crime than that of refusing
to volunteer, lay stretched at length upon the
floor, with one thlikness of a piece of carpel
undir him, and an old overcoat doubted up
for a pillow, In Ihe very agonies of death, un
able to turn over, only from one tide tn ihe
other. His wife came to visit him, bringing
her youngest child with her, which was but u
bubc, but they refused her admittance. I put
my bead out of the jail window, and entreated
them, for God's tuke, tn let the poor woman
come in, as her husband wa dying. They at
last consented lhat she might see him lor the
llmlltd lime ol fifteen minute. As she came
in and looked upon her husband's wan and
emaciated face, and saw bow rapidly he was
sinking, the gave evident signs ot fainting,
and would have fallen lo Ibe floor with the
babe In her arm, had I not rushed up to her
and cried, " Let ne have Ihe babe ;" and then
be sank down upon the breast of her dying
bosband, usable at first to speak a single
word. I tat by and held the babe until the
fifteen minutes bad expired, when the officer
came in, and In an Intuiting and peremptory
manner notified her that the interview was to
close. I hope I may never see such a scene
at-aln t and ret sucb cases were common all
over East Tennessee. Sueh actions show the
spirit of Secession In the South. It Is the
srlrit of murder and astastlnatlon It It the
spirit of hell. And yet you have men at the
North who sympalhlte with these Infernal
inurdiren. Applause. If lowed the devil
a debt to be discharged, and it was tn
be discharged by the rendering up lo him
a dosen of the meanest, most revolting and
Godforsaken wretches that ever could be
culled Irom the ranks of depraved human so

Spirit of the New York Press.
The New York Journals, representing va
riuut shades of public opinion, present proba
bly tin- best rcllcx of passing events, and the
i niliiuuti tu whiih ihey give rise lu the At
lantic cuuimuuitlis, lo vihkli wc have uny oc
ccss. Wo may gather from those ricilviii
by the lat stiunk-r not only a full recotd ol
the occurrences ol the time, but un idea ol
Ihe light lu which these eveutt were regardtd,
the progress of the conflict of oplulon, and In
dicutlons ol the probable result. The riofif,
which affvcti un extraordinary decree ol con
wrvathm, patronise the President und Geiier
u's MiCIvlluii and Halleck, und oixus its bat
tcrics upon ihcdomlnant majority of Congress.
The passage of the Homestead Dill, which i-.
of course, warmly cndored by the Ilepublicai,
journa's, ileitis the Ire of D.'nuetl, who Ihu,
holds lorlh :
"They (Congress) have passed the Home
stead Dili, giving aw uy the properly of tin
Guvcriimuil to u lot of adventurers, und de
priving the soldiers, who have led their fauil
His und homes and offered up their lives in de
luiseoflhu Union, of all bciufH of the unset
llid lands of the Government. These land
hould have been k pi for the so'diers. Thev
ure entitled lo tlmii if unybody, and Ihcv
houtd have been held at u iiwmd fur thill
gullutit dieds. Iiut this d d not suit Iho the
retleat, speculative and public pluud.-ring
viiwt of the Congressional JobUrt and fanat
cs. They ure therefore to bo tquundcrid upon
h set of odventurers, with no beniflt to lh
Government or those who, by their deeds ol
bravery, have defended thim."
The fict that Ihc soldiers, whether natives,
naturalized or foreign, are adm'tled lo a pur
liclpatlnn in all Ihe benrfils of the measure, Is
conveniently overlooked. Tho only soldiers
who cannot derive any advantage from Ihe
Homestead Luw are Iho one "who
have borne arm against the Government ol
of Ihe United State" which it doubtless o
great hardship In tho estimation nf Ihe mag
net of the tlnuU. The tame journal n-jolcet
over me rresiuenrt revocation oi ucneni'
Hunter's decree of emancipation. It says ot
the President' proclamation :
" It lifted a load from many an anxious
mind. General Hunter wa believed to be a
conservative man, and hie antecedents were all
In that direction. He it ttxty years of, tge
and hat a reputation for steadiness. It wa
believed bv thousand lhat hi proclamation
derived its Inspiration from Washington, and
wa dictated, if not by the President, at least
by Iho Secretary of War. Uut tho counter
proclamation of the President remove those
J appreliensiont, and apparently leaves General
Hunter alone responsible for the act. Ibe ef
feet throughout all circlet I of the most cheer.
Ing character, nnd gives another examp'e of
the unflinching conservative!! of Lincoln,
while it widens and deepens, if possible, the
linpa'teblc gulf between him and thebiffled
revolutionary, nlgger-worsblpplog radicals."
The Exftut Is now an echo of Ihe IltrM,
with a great deal more of tho croak of the
raven in In voice. The brothers lirooks keep
up a dismal denunciation of the" Abolition
I'll" in Congress, represent all the contraband
ixperlmcnti at deplorable failures, and hoot at
strongly at Ihey dare at negotiation and com
prom'ie with ' our brethrec of the South."
The same general tone It noticeable In the
Journal of Cvmmtrct, whlih hat fur many years
bein the favorite mouth piece of the merchants
of ultra pro slavery proclivities. In bold con
trust with these Journals, the Trituns upholds
the tltndard of uncompromising war and Im
mediate and universal emancipation, as n mili
tary necessity. Still, It li not entirely distal
i fie I with tho President's aotlou tn rescinding
the liberating order of General Hunter. Says
Orerlry :
"The Pret'dcnt has decided to rescind or
modify Grneral Hunter's order setting free all
ibe slaves In lilt Military District. It was hit
right to do to, and we bow to hit decision.
We cannot doubt that General Huoter Judged
wisely and acted nobly, so far ns the prosper
l:y of the Union cause in hit own district
wat concerned. We do not believe the recti
dent holds a different opinion. Out It It hit
duty to survey the whole ground, to determine
what Is belt, not for three Slates ouly, but to
Insure the triumph of Ihe Unluu cuc every
where."
The concluding portion of the President's
Proclamation, In which he urges titer people of
tho Southern States to cort'dcr the project of
compensative emancipation, evidently suits lie
untl-slavery mm. The Tnbunt also regardi
the proclamation at a distinct Intimation lhat
the President "only reserves to. himself, as out
matider-ln-clilef, the power to proclaim the
abolition of slavery." The tame Journal roalo
tilr.t the propriety and necessity of a sweeping
measure of confiscation, which will, In some
way or other, deprive the rebels of the fulurn
service of CuOVc. The Tnlunt it almost sol
itary, among the New York Journals, In Its
s'eudy championship of Gin. Fremont. The
Tnnri und the World- the latter regarded t
the organ of " conservative Ilepublleantsm,''
whatcvir that may mean sustain the Presl
h nt' gt neral course, and particularly approve
if the proelumatl6n rescinding the Hunter de
cree. The Tiwti devotes the greater portion
f a heavy leader la the warning given to the
Southern people by tin- President, In Ibe cor.
eluding paragraph of the proclamation. That
document seems to have achieved a duub'e
ucccss In soothing Ihe alarmed conserva
tives without displeasing the radicals. The
ftifiiuig Pof,a much more wide-awake, enter
prising and smiutlonal journal than It was
when llryant was younger, coincides with tbu
7V6mir at c'osely at the Kipttn doe with
Ihc llttaU. It treat! Fremont teudiily, ad
voc.itis unrelenting confiscation and universal
-mancipation, criticises McClellan and Halleck
with severity, Indorses Hunter's emancipation
policy, and insists thut tho President I dis
p'icd lo proclaim the freedom of slaves whec
ever he thinks the proper time hat arrived tor
this bo'd and sweeping decree. Commenting
upon Ilrnwnlow's slory of rebel atrocities lo
Tennessee, the Pot rajs :
' When the Austrian General Haynau
raured a woman lo be scourged, the whole
elvilizul world crltd out In Indignation at the
