BATTLE OF SlIII.OlI. Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. Corinth, April 10, 1 863. No reality In the entire range of human experienct can be more grandly solemn than to stand on a battle-held and ga.e around upon the bloody picture of mangled, dying and dead humanity, which the red hand of - L . - I - i I. - L I T"L 1 . I ismagv nas icil ucnuiu. sue auuuus ui strife have been hushed j the ground no Ion ger trembles under the tramp of legions; and the air has ceased to vibrate with the rolling of musketry, the thunder of artillery, and the wild shouts of men. Naught disturbs the silence of the spot lave the whispering of the leaves, the carolling of birds, and the lubducd voices of friends searching for.the dead, mingled with the moans of the wound ed and their pleadings for relief. The excitement of the battle has passed away, and before the bodies over which you may have carelessly trodden a few hours before, you now bend in reverence and read lessons whose imprint will never leave your Mn.AW tin.,' linnVStll IVllh hfinff Sllll fervor have been forever stilled; lip ith, which you have been wont to commune, are parted In death ; ejes that have looked fa miliarly into your own, now dim and glassy, are turned towards the cold sky, and faces are pallid with the ghastly marble of the grave upon them. The blood still flows from the unstaunched wounds of the living, or has thickened and dried upon their per sons, and passing by, pitiful glances fellow you as if they sileiitlj implored the assis tance which it is not in your power to ren der. The ground is cold and wet, yet there they lie, unable to move, waiting, while min utes seem to drag into hours, for the arrival of the comrades who are to remove them to the hospitals.' It ii one of those periods of existence, when emphatically, they " Count lime by heart-throbs, . Not by figures on ths dial." And how these poor fellows shudder and groan with anguish at the rough manipula tions oi muse wno live come to their re lief! How I have sen strong men weep unucr tins ouruen ol agony, and. Drav tor death t relieve their su Serin? ! ah; ii muse wno rutniessiv make war could stand upon the battle field and see its results, long would they hesitate before they placed human life in the balance to weizh against the accomplishment ot their de- ne : As I have already informed vou, the thea tre of the recent conflict cannot be less than three or four.miles in eitent. Over the en tire area the victims were scattered bv thousands, here and there, where the strug gle was desperate, lying almost in piles, so that you could step from one body to the other. The ground is covered with the limbs or trees and bushes that have been shot away, while great clots of blood fre quently mark the spot where some unfortu nate soldier has poured out his life's libation in a torrent. The earth is ploughed up by the wheels of artillery, the hoofs of horses, and the footsteps of men, and the debris of the light muskets, canteens, haversacks, and useless booty, are visible on every side. Imagination only can fill up these rude out lines of the battle field of thilol). Turn your thouzhU yet a little further. and count if you can, the hearts broken, the tears wept, the homes made desolate, the garbs of mourning, and brows of sadness, that follow in the train of such an event, and nrar God that this unholv crusade unon our affections and our hearth-stones may come to a ppecdy end. Une ol the most touching sights 1 have seen during this war came under my. obser vation this morning. 1 lie remains ot a voun? lad of fifteen, who had fallen in the light of Monday, were brought to Corinth to be placed in a colon and forwarded to his noine in Louisiana, lie was a uir-natreu, handsome boy, with features so delicate and beautifully rounded that, but for the stamp of manliness upon them, they might have been taken for those of a girl. They seem ed lo be the shrine and type of every noble trait in human nature, lie had fallen pierc ed bv a ball in the breast. fhc corpse was accompanied by a broth er by hoe side ho had fallen, and, as the comrades around were preparing to put it in a comn. the poor bereaved young man threw himself upon the body, and wept as if his heart would break, lie told us. who stood around, that the little Iriiuw a as an only "brother to whom he had beeti attached with almost a woman's devotion ; that he had ref'ifed to be separated from him, and, young as he was in years, felt it to be a con scientious duty lo lend even his feeble arm to his country. His widowed mother had bidden them both "Godspeed' on their i journey but a few weeks before, and now j her soul was to be turn again by an afilic jtion more terrible than the fust. All he ; loved in the world but hU mother was now 1 goue--his noble, gentle, generous, uoti-tieart led little brother, lie became almost frantic tin his grief. Ilea convulsively threw his arms around the dead boy, pressed a kiss I anas a T upon the cuid lip, ana then nature gave way, and he fainted. There was not a dry eye in the little company that looked upon the scene, tnd I doubt if its memory will ever be oblibcrated from the mind of any in dividual by whom it was witnessed. I saw two more brothers in the office of the Tishomingo House, which has been ap propriated to ho.pital uses. One was wound ed in the leg and had undergone amputa tion. The other was sitting by the side of the rude cot on which his brother lay, and Ihere, for hours, he quietly held the mutila ted limb, and watched him as he slept, nurs ing him as tenderly as a woman, while great tears now and then stole down his bronzed face at the thought of the afiliclion and dan ger consequent upon it. Speaking of boys, there appear to have been hundreds in the fight, and everyone from whom I have heard, has acted like a hero. I have seen some fifteen or twenty of these wounded. The following incident which I hate from a Caplitn of one of the Kentucky Regiments, concerning a lad under his command, will illustrate the spirit to which 1 allude. Though he had volunteered, the youngster was deemed too small to endure the fatigues of the campaign, and it was suggested to the parents that they should procure a substi tute. This was accordingly done, and the latter took his place in the ranks. The boy, however, obstinately refused to go home, and when the regiment went into the battle he dashed not only into the thickest charges, but always managed to keep far ahead ol his companions. On one occasion lie left the regiment three or four hundred yards in the rear, and reckless of the danger of being shot from behind, crept from tree to tree and bush to bush, until he arrived within fifty yards of the enemy, and there coolly loaded, fired and brought down his victim at every shot. Sevenl men seeing his criti cal position, went up to induce him to re turn ; but he ' had his paddy up," and ob stinately refused to budge. Fortunately the enemy made no advance, and though the lit tle hero was hit in his clothing several times, he escaped harm, and now has one of the proudest reputations that can follow him through life. I wish I had his name to give to the public, but it has escaped my memo ry. - "l was inlormed to day by an officer high in command, that had we pursued the Fed erals to the river brink ou Sunday night, we might have bagged thousands more. Major Gilmer, of the Engineers, and a party.rode down to within musket shot of them, and describe their confusion to have been im mense.

How" the must have been duadpoiutud ! 7 From the Richmond Examiner. History proves that the trouble of Holdin a country is far greater than that of ukin possession of it by armed invasion. U i5 mistake to suppose that the capture of h ci ties or chief districts is equivalent to the subjugation of a widely extended, thinly peopled, commonwealth. Physical and mor al disease doea Us work very rapidly upon the health and vigor of an invading column. While it falls rapidly into disorganization and imbecility, the population with which it remains in hateful .contact becomes more rebellious against the dominatiou and each day thus doubly increases its peril. . The true strength of the South consists in its country population. The heart and hope of the South is not in her cities. Her bone and sinew reside in the rural districts. The military idea is not trud tf the South, that to capture the principal places in a country is to subjugate the country itself. The enemy make a fatal calculation, there fore when they suppose that the capture of Nashville or New Orleans, or any other ci ty, subdues the whole circumtaccnt country. To effectually subjugate the South the cue my would have to post a company of infan try and cavalry in every neighborhood throughout its whole extent; and, unless,the aggregate of these were TSO.OOO men, they would then be surely cut olfin detail by the more than million "fighting men whom the South can count as her defenders. If the;" conquerors" should adopt this plan of dispersing their forces over the counirv to hold us down, thev would soon j discover a fearful and rapid disappearance jof jheir men. If, on the contrary, they , ted, unless her own people choose to submit i'ie i ne sertrte .i.5 tance are not to be compared with thoe which submission would eutail : and upon a mere Calculation of interest the people of the South will prefer the honorable part of a 2Sea uenance oi ine enemy.
