TWILIGHT.
There is an hour to musing given,
A holy, calm, and peaceful hour,
When recollections of the past,
And memories come in all their power.
, An hour. when the immortal soul
Turns weary from the scenes of Time,
And soars away in peace to muse,
Upon the Hidden and Sublime.
. That hour is eve ;—thc sun’s soft light.
With splendor tints the iieecy cloud,
When at the trend of coming Night, .
All nature is in worship bowed.
When bygone scenes and olden times.
Come rushing up to mental view,
The friends we loved so long ago,
Yet long ago bade last Adieu.
The sun is set ; the evening breeze,
Steals gently through the whispering leaves,
While calm on high the ether blue,
A holy quiet feeling gives. '
' As pcusively we set and muse,
On other days, while every thought, ’
A deep thrill o’er the heartstrings sends,
With meaning full, all richly fraught.
And still we linger, ’till the stars,
Come one by one, from out their home,
Bright angel-guides, frail man to lead,
Wherever he may chance to roam.
And as their twinkling light beams down, e
The dim aisles of the Past we view ;
The scenes of Life’s kaleidoscope,
With ever varying, changing hue.
The soul is led to scan with care,
Each hour Of pleasure, and of strife ;
To weigh each action and each thought,
And judge which claim Eternal Life.
0, ’tis a holy, precious time,
The calm and stilly twilight hour ; -
When human hearts are heavenward drawn,
By some mysterious, unseen power.
Are led to look away from earth,
Its many cares and fleeting joys,
Unto a nobler, better world,
Where bliss is known without alloy,
A home of refit for weary ones,
A meeting with the loved 'and lost,
Ahaven for the frail life-barque,
So long on stormy waters tossed.
Then let us thank the Hand that gives,
With every earthly thorn a flower ;
Amid earth’s troubles, trials, cares,
The quiet, peaceful twilight hour.

* She Comes from St. Louis!
BY EDNA DEAN PBOCTOR.
“On the 16th of July,‘tne steamboat Imperial
arrived at New Orleans from St. Louis the first
boat between the cities for more than two years."
She comes from St. Louis! Hurrah and hurrah !
She lies at the levee unmarrcd by a scar !
No cursing gucrillas could frighten her back,
Though longing like bloodhounds to leap on her
track ;
Nor cannons to sink her, nor chain set to bar.—
Shccomes from St. Louis ! Hurrah and hurrah!
She comes from St. Louis ! Who now will deny
That Vicksburg, Port Hudson in ruins must lie 2
The 'goOd boat Imperial laughed them to scorn
Ai hold to our levee she rounded at morn,
And brought with her freedom and wealth from
afar—
She comes from St, Louis! Hui-rah and hurrah!
She comes from St. Louis ! The river is ' free!
'tht tidings of glory, New Orleans. for thee l
O, welcome her ! herald the holiday time—
l‘ling out all your bsnncrs now—let the bells
chime— .
0f sunny days dawning, the harbinger star,
She comes from St. Louis ! Hurrah and hurrah !
She comes from St. Louis! Our torpor is o'er;
We breathe the fresh air of the N orthlsnd once
more 3 .
Life wakes at the wharves again ; stirs intlie street;
Beams bright in the faces that smile as they greet;
NO traitor our trlunfph can hinder or mar—
tf5 ' She comes from St: Louis! Hurrah and hurrah!
She comes from St. Louis ! Awsv with the plea
That river or people divided may be !
One current sweeps past us ; one lkeness we wear;
One neg through the future riglit proudly we'd
bear;
All bail to the day without malice or jar!
She comes from St. Louis 1 Hurrah and hurrah!

STEALING A MARCH.
Stretched at full length before the
most magnificent of all the fires, with a
pleasant sense of warmth difi'using itself
from the soles of the feet along the whole
person, a party of us ( the First New
Jersey Cavalry) lay with a lazy enjoy-
ment of the heat, and a feeling of satis-
faction with our supper. Each was draw-
ing upon his pipe, and exhaling a cloud of
fragrant smoke, except the chief proprie-
tor of the establishment, the Lieutenant
Colonel of the regiment. I do not think
there can be found a pleasanter fellow for
a companion during the long evening
lounge around a camp-fire than B-—-—.
Though never out of the United States,
he has been, Hiberniantly speaking a
great deal in them, and has anecdotes as-
sociated with almost every place which
becomes prominent in connection with the
present war. But what I enjoy the most
is to set him talking about some of his
adventures since he has been with us, and
extract all those details which are not at-
tainable in a secondhand report. As he
seems to enjoy the revival of his memory
of these former scenes as much as we .do
to whom they are fresh, it is no difiicnlt
task to start him on a narration.
The talk began by some remark upon
the character of the country around us,
which-.our regiment had scouted in the
Spring preceding. There was a little dif-
ference of opinion about the bend in the
river, and whether our picket line there
might not be improved. Capt.
thought that it might, and appealed to
the Col. “ I think not,” was the reply——
“I had to study the shore there pretty
closely last spring to find a place where I
could cross, and the pickets now cover, as
far as possible, ever practicable ferry.
Unless we had more men I could not sug-
gest any improvement.” ‘
“ Why,” said L——, “ what were yo
looking for a crossing here for ? W——-
never meant to take Richmond on~his own
book, just as he went at Jackson’s army
afterward at Harrisonburg, did he ?”
“ No; this was a little affair of my
own, when we bagged a. party of rebel
couriers and brought in some horses-—
among others that nice pair of Bailey
Peyton mares that I had last summer.”
“ I remember hearing something about
that when I rejoined at Seddon’s ,- but
we were all off on detached se‘rvice just
then, and I never _ heard the particulars
of the affair, nor knew where it took
place. How did you manage to get to
them without their taking wing ?”
' “ It is rather a long story for a man to
tell about himself,” responded B~—
“No matter,” I put in " we are all
smokers, and will be very grateful if you
will take our share of the talk out of
our months. So begin at the beginning
and we will take the story, as an artist
might now take you, at full length." The
Col. stretched himself into a comfortable
position, and began.
“ You all know how the contrabands
began to flock in to us as we came down
from Falmouth to Port Conway. It was
a sort of second Exodus, slightly differ-
ing from the first, especially in color and
smell. They managed to get to us, not
only from down the neck, but also from
across the river—one party bringing in
valuable horses, and the other tolerable-
good information. So we welcomed them
all, and sent them on towards the North
Pole rejoicing.
One of the other fellows from the other
side, Humphrey, who was with Col. W—
for some time afterward, seemed to have
come off rather against his will. I got
into a talk with him, and found out that
his master lived ten or twelve miles back
from the river. He might have been
staying there till this time, perhaps if .the
neighbors had not taken the alarm at lo-
sing so many of their servants. They had
arranged with the rebel General,there-
fore, to assemble themselves and bring all
their slavesto a certain place, where a.
small cavalry post had been established.
The General was to send a force to guard
them until they got within his lines, when
they were to be taken to work on the
Richmond fortifications, or else sold
South. This kind of a plan always gets
wind in some way, and many of the ne-
groes took the alarm. Among others
Humphrey very sensibly concluded that,-
if he had to leave home, he would prefer
himself to decide the direction of his jour-
ney; and he bonsequently stole off by
night escaping across the river to us.
Now his casual allusion to this post stuck
fast in my mind, and I managed to make
him describes it to me. From what he
said I judged that it did not connect
with any others in the neighborhood. but
was there merely-for purposes of observa-
tion. So it was just possible that I might
steal upon them, catch most of them, and
be back before there could be time for a
force to come down upon us in return. I
began to hunger after the capture, and
asked Humphrey whether he could guide
a party through the country at night to
the houses where they staid. The dar
key’s face lit up with unexpected intelli-
gence and animation at the question ; and
when he declared not only his ability but
his willingness to do so, I felt that I
could rely on him. I went straight up
to, the house and spoke to the Col. It
was when his headquarters wem at Pow-
hatan Hill. I believe that W
was sorry that he was not a Captain in-
stead of a regimental commander. If he
had been he would certainly have tried to
take the matter out of my hands. As it
was, he gave me plenty of counsel and
warning, but consented to my taking-a
party of volunteers and crossing the riv-
er that night. It rained hard enough at
night-fall to quell the courage of a- good
many of thdse who were Willing enough
in the afternoon ; and I, thought it dark-
er than it hadever seemed to me before
as our little jparty stole quietly out of
camp before tattoo, and felt our way down
to the river. ' ' ’
In a leaky boat, two at a time, we
managed to cross, the noise of 'the skiff
in the water sounding to our cars all the
time as if it must be audible at least five
"miles ; and just as tap: blew, dismissing
the rest of the regiment to bed we started
to leave it, perhaps forever. We had of
course, left spurs and sabers behind on
such an expidition; but all of my men
had their: revolvers and ,carbines. We
were seventeen whites and three negroes
as guides. Humphrey led the advance. I
following. lmmedistely and only keeping
him in sight from his wearing a light col-
ored linsey coat. How it happened that
some of the men did not get lost in the
darkness I cannot understand ; for I did
not hear a wbiSper sometimes for miles
together, and only rarely the splash of a
footfall in a puddle, indicating that the
boys were keeping closely in my rear. .I
believe that with their present reckless-
ness, some of them would have straggled;
but danger was then new to t , and
they were nervously alive to every risk.
As we were plodding along through
heavy fields, over plantation roads-and
across by-paths, feeling anxiously and to
a slight degree scared—at least I did—
the party whom we were going to sur-
prise was much more agreeably occupied.
They were all young men of the neigh-
borhood, who had gone in a body from a
local cavalry company into the confeder-
ate service. So they were rather petth
and made much of by the families
around, especially by the young ladies.
The sergeant had been particularly at-
tracted by a daughter of Dr. Golding, the
gentleman at whose place the. party was
posted; but whether that was the cause
or the effect of his selecting that .locali-
ty I am unable to tell. The afternoon
of our march he had told the young la-
dy that he was going to ride down and
take a look at the Yankees, laughingly
making her commandant of the post du-
ring his absence. She assumed at least
all the authority appropriate to the dig-
nity, commanding him to report at a cer-
tain hour, or to sufl‘er the pains and pen-
alties due to disobedience. The delin-
quent sergeant was half an hour behind
his time. After enduring a severe rcp-
rimand, he was placed in arrest and
close confinement within the parlor, and
sentenced to sufl'er whist, singing, and
supper until the proper authority should
permit his release. His imprisonment
was lightened, however, by the society
Of the lady herself, her friends, and a
select detail from his squad. In spite
of the storm without, all was bright and
gay within; and a good many jokes were
made about the Yankees, ten miles off
across the river. At last as the hands
of the clock drew around toward twelve,
the merry party broke up, the last words
of Miss Golding being a jocular warning
to take care or the Yankees would catch
them. It was answered by a defiant
laugh, and the sergeant retired with his
men to their quarters in an adjoining of-
«fice. There was a formal watch kept;
but, at such a distance from the enemy,
the young men had grown very careless.
A man was placed on a bill a little dis-
tance oil, another outside the house, and
their horses picketed Somewhere within
their reach. On this occasion the pleas-
ure of the evening probably made the re-
liefs oblivious Of their duty, and at the
very critical moment. Certain it is that
the guard outside the door came in and
lay down without any one taking his
place, and the outpost, after staying be-
yond his hour, came in to see why he
was not relieved. '
“ Now, having described the situation
of the enemy, I shall go back to the his-
tory of my own party. We had left
camp at about eight o’clock, and hour af-
ter hour marched slowly on under the
guide of the negroes, unable ourselves to
tell the direction in which we were trav-
elling. We became more and more watch-
ful as we advanced, though we had not
heard a sound of life'arouqd us. Sud-
denly the guide stopped, taking a crouch-
ing attitude. We all found ourselves
involuntarily doing the same, though I
suppose that each was half unconscious
that his neighbor was doing so. Present~
ly I could hear footsteps advancing along
the path. ‘As we did not, wish to meet
any one we of course stole aside as noise-
lessly as possible, and yielded the right of
way. There Were about half a dozen
persons in the party; I could not tell
whether they were negroes or a patrol.
Whoever they were we escaped their no-
tice, and at once resumed our course At
last we emerged from a wooded hollow,
and saw the vague outline of a building
in a little denser black than the sky be-
hind it. “ All in dar,” whispered Hum-
phrey, pointing to a particular part of
the house. " Is there any hedge between
here and there '2” I enquired, “or is
the track clear, 17”, “ Right up dar,
straight up massa,” he responded, so ex-
cited that I.believe he did not compre-
hend the question, “ Does the door open
into a room or into a passage 1’” was my
next question. “Right in dar, massa;
you jump right on ’em,” was his answer,
as he kept still pointing to the place.—
SOI posted my men, and then my order-
derly and I headed two parties in a rush
for the opposite sides of the building.—
Just as I had got to the top of my
speed I felt a violent blow upon my chest
which almost staggered me I put‘out
my hand and touched a picket fence.
With one leap I was over it and at the
door. My men were delayed by trying
to climb the .fcnce slowly. Just as I
touched the door it was opened from
within, and I was face to face with a
gray back. Before I could even say
Surrender, he had sprang back, run
along the passage, and dashed through a
side door. For a moment I was bewil-
dered by finding the passage where I ex-
pected the room, but recovering myself
I followed in time to see him making for
a pile of arms. ‘Snrrender!’ shouted I;
and without my really meaugug it my
pistol went off. He spuu round, saying,
“ You have shot me sir,” but I did not
have time to attend to him, for all round
the room were his comrades lying down.
I sprang at the nearest, and my knee on
one my breast on another, and my pistol
at the head of a third at the same in-
stant. Just then my men got around to
the window, and seeing me apparently
straggling with numbers, let fly a couple
of shot. Unfortunately both were fatal,
one man being killed and another mor-
tally wounded My man had only a bul-
lct through his arm. Of course the reb-
_ e’ls immediately surrendered, and we found
that the party consisted of seven. The
wounded man was a. nephew of Dr;
Golding, and had been one of the party
in the parlor. I immediately sent a mes-
sage to Dr. Golding requesting him to
come cud attend to his wounded nephew.
At the same moment a series of most
piercing shrieks rang 0. through the
house, each woman dbing screaming eu-
ough for six, I sent a second envoy to
the Doctor, informing him that if he did
not come at once I should have to bring
him, together with, a polite request for
the cessation of that very loud and disa-
greeable noise. Both messages were ef-
fectual. We had the arm of the slightly
wounded prisoner dressed at calm; and
while some of my men found and Vead'dleé
the horses of the party, the rest of 'us as
sisted in ministering to young Broadds
who as a short inspection proved, was dy-
ing. _It was the first time that we had
looked upon the result of our work, and
it made us very melancholy to contem
plate the agony of that fine young fellow.
Some of my men nlmost‘cried.‘ But wi
did not have time to yield' to any Senti-
ments of pity or sorrow. We were ter
miles from the river, with an active enemy
not so very far off. So, guarding on!
five prisoners, and bringing off their five
horses we, started on our returnaloug
the self-same road. We moved, through
much faster on the way back, the coast
of which you may perhaps comprehend,
as we mounted the hill commanding the
river, we heard the cheerful notes of our
bugles sound out reville. There in the
clear dawn we could catch sight of some
of our men waiting anxiOusly by' the
boat. It soon came across to Us, and
swimming the horses, we made our way
into the camp, feeling very proud of om
expedition and its fruits. And now, who
is going with me to visit the pickets?-
W
Battle of Stone River.
The following incidents of the battle
are related in a recent work entitled
Rosecrans’ campaign : , ,
“ The new change in the order of bat-
tle was executed by the General Com-
manding at incessant personal hazard
There was not a private soldier inthe'sr
my so much exposed. There was hardly
apoint in the front of battlewliicbrlie
had not inspected, Wood’s line perhaps
excepted. Some five or six batteries,
posted upon the bluff under. his personal
direction, now thundered in direful so:
cord. Solid shot, shell, grape, canister
were crashing through the brittle timber
in destructive tumult. A thick campy
of smoke hovered over the field. Clouds
.of smoke enveloped th e, gunners. They
seemed like demons reveling in infernal or-
gies With his staff gathered about him,
the Chief halted briefly upon the cem-
try knoll, watching the play of the but
teries and the hot fury of Sam Beatty’s
infantry. Now, without a word, he
plunged headlong into the tempest,,his
staff and orderlies following with wild at.
thusiasm. The enemy had tipped over
the crest of the last ridge in front, and
were bearing down fiercely. Spurting
up to the very heels of Beatty’s men, un-
til his horse almost trampledthem, he
shouted cheerily: ‘Now let the whole
line charge? shoot low? Be sure! Then
charge home 17" . 7 f -
“ The troops sprang to their feet, "and,
push up the slope ; the forests areriven-
with the tempest; bayonets gleam; lu-
rid flames spout from the- long line of
masketry. Yon savage line of gray‘aiid
steel, which but a moment since plan
so madly over the hill, halts? It wa-
_vers? Another tempest from the blue
line in front—they reel, they stagger,—.
there they go 1’ shouted the gallant lead-
~er ; ‘they go ? Now drive them home?"
Away they fly over the hill, shattered,
disordered, broken, struggling to escape.
Shot and shell pursue the freighteued fuo
gitives, shrieking through the forest,
crashing the flimsy branches, scattering
death and destruction. . .. , ..
“When Garesche was killed Rose-
crans did not seem to obesrve it. Ofthe
Generul’s staff Garesche had been blown
away from his elbow; Kirby had been
shot; Benton’s horse was smartiug with
a wound; Hubbard’s snorted withthe
sting of a ball in- his neck; Taylor’s
was killed ; Porter’s horse and then him-
self was struck; poor Richmond was
mortally hurt ; four or five of his escort.
and orderlies were stretched upon the
field. No wonder Bond said to him :
General, do you think it right to ex-
pose yourself so much I’
“ The troops were handled with match:
less skill. Lines upon lines were piled
upon each other so compactly that even
the awful momentum and the ferocity of
the rebel onslaughts did not shake them.
Columns were hurled in solid ranks from.
one side of the field to the other extreme
as if they were toys ; or were flung into.
the face of the enemy as if it weree
game playing. It is no grasp at rhetor-
ic to describe the swift and steady evo-
lutions of our brigades as perfect as the
movements of a grand review. Thou-
sands acquired an idea of the art of
‘haudling masses’ of which they never.
had dreamed before. =
In his last desperate charge the enemy
advanced in treble columns of attack :
“ The machine called a column of at-
tack in mass is a thousand men in front
six men daep, with two other machines
just like it, pushing behind to sustain its
momentum. It emits a blaze'anda fume
witha crashing and thr r-r rapping sound
as if Titans were tearing strong‘canvss.
then a counter-crash, quickly—perhaps!
two or three, from as many lines. Vol-
ley for volley—then symmetry of sound is
lost. File firing ensues—that is, eyery
man loads and fires for himself with all
his might, mostly shooting high, so that
the lead flies overhead and twigsflflutter,
many shooting so low thatthedirtis

Gen. Rosecrans had massed fifty-eight
guns in the centre of his line; 3,,
“ With these be hurled solid SEOt,"and
shell spherical case and canister, ‘andithe
forests seem bursting with agony.‘ :5 All
hell had broken loose. 'l-rThen the Ima-
chines which are called columns mamas

“ Rosecrans hurled his batteries'ind

machines of Breckenridge, and destroyed
them in forty minutes. Two. thtluso'ud
