This list proves the desperate bravery exhibited by the command in the bloody strife.--We learn that Mr. Dawson, a young English man, who came over in the Nashville, volunteered for the engagement, and received a wound while acting most gallantly. The Crenshaw Battery, of this

ing him in a parallelogram except his head and legs; he availed himself of the accident directly. 'Well, that does sound rather largish,' said he; but we shall get a look at 'em in this part of the country before long. They're goin' to be imported.' 'I should like to see a man drive a herd of 'em into New York!' said Jim, affecting great scorn for the idea. 'Oh, they are going to be boxed up,' returned Joe. 'Look her, ma'm, here's a description of the way in the last Syracuse Harrow; you see how it's to be done!' 'What!' said the pitiful old lady, eyeing the diagram that presented a view of the ox's back, 'a settin' up on end! why, it must hurt their tails dreadfully. Poor creturs! I should think they'd beller all the way.' This was too much for J.m and oe. They disappeared in a roar of laughter, leaving the mortified and astonished Mrs. Dodd to her own reflections. Presently the train came up and the old lady betook herself to the cars, being seized on th

with our men. As the 3d brigade (Hall's) came up by the flank there was a disposition, under the heavy fire to which it was exposed, to edge away from the stone wall, but the officers overcame this, and soon a compact body of men was formed, who delivered a heavy and well-directed fire upon the enemy as they came over the wall and rail fence towards us. Just then an officer, I think it was the same who had gone for Hall, Gibbon's aid, came over with some regiments from the 1st brigade (Harrow's) on our left, and from him it was reported that the extreme right of the enemy, which was opposite Meade, was breaking badly, and that men were running to the rear. This greatly encouraged us, and we cheered and went to our work with a will. At this time we were behind the crest which was between us and the stone wall, which was a little way down the hill towards the valley; and at the wall, between fifty and sixty yards from us, were the enemy, many of them over the wall. We now advanc

obliqucing towards the left and the railroad. This corps soon became engaged with the enemy. As a support to the 17th, Harrow's division of the 15th was detached and placed upon the extreme left, while Osterhaus's, of the same corps, followed as ag the 15th on the right. In this arrangement the troops advanced, the three corps engaging the enemy in front, white Harrow, with his division, wheeled to the right almost in a complete circle, and soon found himself in the rear of an outlying detachment of the enemy, consisting of two regiments, acting as a support to his picket line. Harrow immediately opened a light fire upon the troops he had cut off, and soon obliged them to surrender. They were the 31st and 40th Alabama infantry. Ts army, while this was going on, upon the left, succeeded in forcing the enemy back, taking a small number of prisoners. Harrow, having advanced further than was intended, fell back with his prisoners and gave our line the intended direction. What

I maun cross the main, my dear, For I maun cross the main." The boys having gone to England against their will, and the men of their own free choice, it is obvious that no such obligation could exist to remain abroad in the first case as in the last. --Besides, all that the boys could pick up in England would be intellectual cultivation, whereas their seniors have the solid advantage of saving their bacon and solacing their inner man with better cheer than is to be found at Eton and Harrow. The spectacle of these exiled patriots discussing huge surloins of beef and quaffing vast goblets of ale, while their countrymen are hungering and bleeding at home, must satisfy the world that the South is not altogether that race of impulsive and hot-headed abstractionists which it is often represented. We dare say that these well-fed exiles have their trials too — just the trials which maddened the more sensitive youngsters and drove them back to their country. --No doubt the sturdy Bri
