A ITEORIC IXDIANIAN. 'v

A private in the IStli Indiana, had been left behind for some reason, when his regiment was ordered*to the, upper part of the Kidge. Before it reached there, it became engaged with the rebels, and was cut off from tho troops following, Tho Indianiari-resolved to join his companions in arms, though

persuaded not to do so, as it was mad- fifty dess to make the attempt. He heed

ed not counsel, but hurried forward, and was last seen contending with a score of foes. Ilis fate is unknown, but ho must have perished like each of the three hundred at the pass of Thermopylae.

FATE OF A CO WARP.

Where there was so much valor, there were some individual instances of its opposite, but vcr\*, very few for. I timidity is a quality littlo known to

American soldiers, fighting in the cause of Freedom. A soldier whose nerve?, poor fellow, were weaker than

his wiil, climbed into a tree during tho severe fight on 'Fridriy and while there around shot accidentallyrstrrtck him, and hurled him a' bloody and irrecognizable mass to the ground. Had the "soldier remained whero his duty ordered, ho would probably havo been

living still.

a ATROCITIES OF THE INJUNS,

The three thousand Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole Indians undor Col. Albert Pike, a renegade son of Connecticut, committed the greatest atrocities-in the field, not only plun

dering and maiming the dead, but actually murdering and scalping the wounded as they lay hclplcss and suffering on the ground. More than one hundred and twenty of our brave men were thus barbarously treated by the savage foe, who had been wrought, to .a pitch of frenz}- by the rebels through passionate appeals and declarations th^t'itho Yankees designed to 6nslaye

them, and force them,' with chains and whips, to do the vilest dWfdjgery' in their aristocratic homes in the North"

TIIE REBELSJLAUGIITERED BY T.IIEIR SAVUP AGE ALLIES. OR)K?IW Y/U:

It is said the Indians, in the engagement of Friday, became *so excited by the alcohol they drank, and the scenes that thoy witnessed, that they turned their weapons upon their own allies, and butchered and scalped'tho rebels

and Federalists with the most charming indifference. An instance of this-is given by one of the prisoiiers,'' a member of one of the companies that suffered from what tho Southerners believed to be tho treachery of the savages.:

Four companies of the'-'Arkansas' troops belonging to Ben. McCullocli's Division were marching'up one of the ridges north of Sugar Creek on Saturday morning, to strengthen the enemy, who were hardly pressed by Gen. Sigel. They soon came in sight of about three hundred Creeks and Choctaws who

stood on the brow of fin adjaccnt hill. When Within about one hundred and fifty yards of the savages the latter' opened fire on them. The rebel Major who commanded tho battalion cried out to them that they were Idling their friends but the Indians did not heed what he said, and again discharged their pieces. «».-?hd yainijii. v»lT "Tho d-d rascals have turned tr.ai! tors,'.' cried •fhe-Mwjeiv- "Upon them, Arkansans aii'd5 giv^-^tberint^lio quarter,'!

The Southernei's lieeded no second

order. ?Tho'y attaokod them.with groat energy," and for nearly an' hour a d.esp.eratc battle was waged on the Eidgo the Indians flighting with :blind fury,: and scalped all who fell into there hands,-, whether living, wounded or dead.—r.

This is described as one of the severest action of the entire battle, and the Indians, who were finally routed are said to have lost one hundred and twentyfive killed andiwounded. ft Ot) otlf qt

Bayard Trior's Conclusions. After visiting Manassas Bayard Tay

lor comcs to the following conclusions:

I do not wish to be .understood as blaniirig any individual. I was niost -fttvorablv impressed, last fall, with the

bem inff of Gcn

McClellan, and with

icloi.it success in resolving order

out of chaos,. I have deprecated the popular impatience with the inaction of

tho army of the Potomac during the winter, and insisted that the organiz-

ing power which had molded a demoralized military mob into obedient ca

only natural advantage is the stream of Bull Run, with a low bluff bank. Second: That the position at Ceiitridvillc, though naturally formidable to an- advance from Fairfax, has no

flank of .rear, defenses,, is imperfectly fortified, and, from all indications, never had any_ heavy seigc guns.

Third That the tliree or four small -forts near Manassas 0 tfnetion, on an open plain, do not constitute a strategic

opposition of any importance. Pourtl»: That the, strongest of the rebel works was .inferior, both ^n construction and'arm'afnent. to the weakest of our forts on the Virginia side of

Washington. Fifth That the rebels never had, at

any time, in all the camps between C'entreville and Manassas,

resulted so disastrously* to

Rem die Lomisviiic Jom-Eini. We don't think there wiil be much of a crop of rebels' the next season, tho' ail that we see now are remarkably

seedy. 'no A. Mississippi paper sajrs that there is a fearful scarcity of corn- and wheat there. Well,, if the rebels can find let then irrind

himself—as u&u'al. A:

Memphis paper publishes that whiskey is abundant'and not dear in that city. This gross falsehood is

manifestly the- last desperate recourse for getting together in Memphisi a quorum of tho Legislature.

Mortar Explosions.

The effect of the mortar explosions

are very peculiar. Forward of tho mortar it would be almost an impossibility for a human being to enduro tho tremendous concussion. Aftof it, however, the sound is rather exhilarating than otherwise, and not half so hard to endure as the sharpj snappish report of a brass field piece. During the gen

eral engagement on Monday afternoon I had a position on a rail fenco, about five rods behind a mortar. Before it had been fired many times, I found

mortar men, who took a savage delight in tho immense volume of sound, parallel with their eagerness to watch tho effect of tho shell.- At the side, or in front of the mortar, however, tho ef

apparel, ammunition, and tho boat utensils—in fact everything, starts in

a bee line for the boro of the mortar.— Upon one occasion, immediately after the explosion of mortar Xo. 27, a button flew from a coat directly into tho boro whence a second before the ponderous shell hustled into the air. A more notablo instance was this: Tho steamer Wilson drew alongside a mor

tar just as it was discharged. The concussion started joints in the steam-pipo and drew the rivets in the boiler, to that degree that tho imprisoned steam hissed from a hundred places, rendering immediate repairs necessary. Al

though the sound is comparatively slight:—that is taking into account its great immensity—the genuine effects arc felt more keenly. At Cairo, sixty miles distant., the reports are heard distinctly, and a vibration of tho earth is felr, while at Columbus houses are sha
