Do you think I am going to stay here in the hospital after that? Let the soldiers know Government wants to begin to do something aad the hospitals will grow lean speedily We have sent 309 patients to their regiments within two weeks and more report for ths purpose every day It ths trials and hardships that wear us out but the knowing that our sufferings go for nothing! private letter from one of our Lewiston soldier boys ssys that the troops no not like the expression so muoh in vogue that a better elasa of men are enlisting now than ever before and thinks strange that this better-class patriotism should need so much gold to get it started The troops are all good It is not well to make invidious distinctions heard a gentleman recently from England say that it waa not a matter of much surprise among the people there that Union men In the South should succumb and worship at the shrine of secession bat thet they eeald not find -words to express their astonishment and dis gust at ths existence of suoh a curiosity as a Dana Democrat in ths North!

Thus cavalry in a gallant charge is said to have succeeded in taking two of the rebel wi4h to BPcak Subsequently Bt ln of and divisions of infantry including and brigades made three most desperate bayonet charges upon the rebel artillery They were however each time received by a very heavy infantry fire slaughtering them fearfully That they should have persevered to make three successive charges in the face of such a deadly fire from so superior numbers concealed in woods is really the wonder of the war These charges developed the fact that the enemy actually engaged greatly outnumbered our forces about seven thousand in action Being thus informed of the location of tho rebel infantry our artillery played upon them with terrible effect At 7 Gen Pope and also the advance

the battle-field and our forces in their new position About midnight a discharge from fone of our batteries nought on a renewal of the artillery $ght or two hoars which resulted in killing and wounding two or three hundred on each side A cavalry charge of the rebels about the same time came very near killing or capturing Gens Pope and McDowell who were rccon-noitering Sunday morning found both armies occupying the same position neither caring to renew the fight and each having been reinforced Monday morning the rebels fell back )ut advanced fatigue parties to their original rasitiun to bury their dead Some of the nore adventurous also went forth from the Jnion lines to pick up our wounded many of whom still lay onhe field The rebels did not interrupt our surgeons or ambulances At length a rebel officer appeared with a white lag and said that Gen Jackson allowed till 2 o'clock for the burial of the dead By mutual consent the time was afterwards extended to dark Jackson improved this opportunity to draw back the great body of his troops and by Tuesday be was safely over the Rapi-dan Democratic Nominee fbr Congresi Rev Mr Bates of Aubarn pastor of the ligh St Universal ist Sooietj aoospts the nomination of the Second District Democrat io Congressional Convention This is an indication of a marked change in the sentiments of our Democratic friends in reference to the righto and duties of ministers Hat a short time since they unsparingly denounced any minister who so far forgot his sacred colling as to touch on any of the moral aspects of politics now they think it no evil even to mako a minister their candidate fbr a promi-nect political office This is evidence of change of heart in them as radical as the new birth We note this progress of ideas with much gratification Mid it as confession that they repent in saekdoth and ashes of their uqjust denunciation of ministers in past years Let us hope that their repentance will lead tq appfqpriqte works that every tongue of our democratic friends may be hushed whenever a minister of the gospe may exereise his prerogative to speak of the moral aspects of politics We record also with pleasure thp selection
