"LIST OF THE KILLED."
Mothers, who sit 'n riumo terror and dread,
Holding thai terrible list,
Fen ring to look est you see 'mid '.he dead
The name of the boy you huvt kissed
Kissed e'en ss those who In anguish and pain,
Kiss precious Iscesol clay,
E'en aa yon would had you efiuddeilngly lain
Thai doar one In grave robeaaway
I pity you, fitting with faces so white,
Striving to parry the blnwj
I know how that name wiM torture the sight,
' an laibom the depth of your woe.
By the pang that rent my deso'ntc heart,
By lliecrudnng weight of despair,
I know how you too will tliuddor and start,
Handing that dear, loved name there.
I know you'll hush that passionate cry,
Thinking ol liiin as he its,
Willi heaiitilul Inee upturned 10 the sky,
Death vailing the glorious eyes
"Fighting he fell 1" Does a feeling of pride
Lighten your grief aa you think
tlow bravo was the oy that went from your side.
How he would not lalieror shrink t
The moiher'e love tiiutr.uhs. Men call women
weak
Ah, well, perhaps it is so!
I know tlieiime tears e'en now on my cheek,
For the boy that's laying so low.
I know that I start at each step on the stair,
With wistful glance u rn toward the door,
Thinking, percbance, thai my my darling is
heart he can come nevermore.
But still there'a a thought that softens my woe
ADove mere's a glorious list i
And one day I'll hear with rapturous glow

Our Military Correspondence.
FROM THE 2ND OHIO CAVALRY.
FORT SCOTT, Kansas, May 26th, 1862.
in
Several monllis have now elwpsed since
my Ihs( communca:iun to the Democrat,
nnd, Imving'a few ppare moments this
plf-asanl May allernoon, I have resolved
to furnibh jou with a few items ilial I
hope will prove iolertsliog to the general
reader of army correspondence.
The id Ohio lias been the marching
Regiment of the United Stales Army. We
have marched several hundred miles, in
Kansas and Missouri, and are now
ordered lo the Indian Territory, in the
vicinity of Texas ; when next beard
from, will probably be fishing for mer
maids off Key West.
We have, for some weeks past, been
watching the bushwackers and jawhaw
kers in the Stales of Missouri and Arkan
sas Our first trip was from Fort Scott
to Nevada, where we surprised several
Secesh citizens, with arms in their hands.
During our march, we had to cross many
streams, which were much swollen by the
spring rains. In many instances, the
mule teams got "stuck," and were with
difficulty exiracied from their murky
bed. - In such cases, stout clubs of hard
wood, loud bowling and tail swearing
were tbe principal implements used for
(heir redemption. It is as impossible
for s man lo drive a team of six mules
without swearing, as it would be for him
to raise himself clear of the ground by
the seat of his breeches. Several trips
made from Nevada to MonUvulla, where
we took a number of prisoners, among
tbem Capl. Ball, the gentleman who
jawbawked the Government of 90 mules,
last fall, from this post ; we also took
Capt. Uillard, of bushwhacking notoriety.
Many amusing incident occurred during
our trip to the above town. At one
pluce which we visited, we found the
uenileman of the house sick and in bed,
who strongly protested that he bad nevor
taken sides with either party ; that be
had no arms,and only one old horse. An
examination was accordingly made ol
the barns and out-building&, when a long
title, powder, ball and three good horses
were Uncovered ana connscuieu. ive
turning to the bouse, we found every
thins in commotion, caused by the howl
ins of does, the squalling of youngsters,
whom the good woman was mauling most
unmercifully, while the angry voice of
the "old man could be heard above tliu
whole, cursing "the ludy" for telling
where the things were concealed. Open
iner the door, we found the "feeblo gen
tliman" piling the agony upon the wife,
holding..ber by the bail, while she, in
(urn, wits slashing away at a youngster,
whom she held by one arm, while with
the other hand she brandished a large
whip. Another youngster was helping
"the drog out ol :ne wincow oy assail
intr him in the rear with a large cudgel.
Small children were scattered around the
flobr. all veiling and bawling, which,
added to the barking ol dogs, squalling
of cats, crowing oi cocks, cackling ol
hens, squealing of pigs.neighing ol horses,
and the no less musical voice of "our
boys," who enjoyed the scene, awakened
an echo seldom heard, for variety and
musical cadence upon the prairies of
Missouri. Thinking it would be a shame
not to part such a happy family, we
ordered the "sick man," who now was
so strong, to "take up his bed and walk,"
with us, which be did ; but I cannot tell
whether he "went on hit way rejoicing"
or not.
Ader a stay of 8 days, we proceeded
to Lomar, and from thence to Carlbage,
where Gen. Seigel, on the Sib of last
July, engaged the 16,000 Rebels, under
command of Rains and Jackson, for nine
hours with 1,400 men, retreating over
twelve miles, and slaughtering the Rebels
with his artillery. The Rebels loat, in
killed and wounded, 1,600. Seigel's loss
wa 46 killed, wounded and missing.
While at Carthage, an expedition was
fitted out to go to Neosho and Cowskin
Prairie, where it was reported a large
number of Secession troops bad concen
trated. We started under tbe command
of Maior Purinffton. who took with him
6 companies of the 2d 0. V. C, and 2
companies of tho Wit. flh German) In-
fan'.ry, the latter being packed into
wagons to nabie them to Keep up wun
tbe oaralry. We started about 2 o'clock
in the afternoon, arrayed in all "the
glorious pomp in"d oiroumstanee of war."
many being mounted upon unshod horses,
while others were to poor that- the tun
had to thine through the ribt of two of
them, lo order to make one shadow.
"Fours right, right forward v came the
command from the Major, after be had
inspected hit gallant men with a most
critical eye. "Fourt right I" repeated
the Captain, and we were on the road to
Cowskin, (Jo. ti In the advance. After
0 o'clock we crossed Mill Creek, and
came to a hall. Supper was cooked, and
the men laid themselves out to rest, in
hopes of enjoying a ciihl's sleep : but
there is no rest for the wicked, and, ac
cordingly, about one o'clock, we were
awakened and ordered to taddle un.
which we quickly did, and, in 15 minutei.
every private was ready for the march.
INot to with tome of the officers in com.
mand ; they merely turned over, and
look another nap, keeping the mtn wail
ing until daylight, in order to enjoy the
luxury of a hot sun. About noon we
halted, cooked breakfast and fed our
horses, nenr a small town. While stop
ping here, some of the officers discovered
a small country store, and at once com
menced to appropriate varions small
articles in Ibe shape of straw hats, gloves.
etc., taking many things that would prove
a perleot curse to them. The privates,
following their "superiors' " extmple,
soon relieved the premises of everything
in the shape of merchandise.
This is only one instance out of many,
wherein this Regiment has endeavored to
put down jawhawking, by carrying off
everything it could lay its hands on.
Owing to tome misunderstanding among
the various officers, "our German friends"
now got their "Dutch up," and drove off.
we saw no more of them until our return
to Carthage. A few moments alter re
suming our murch, we started a number
of the Secesh, and gave chase, taking a
number ol prisoners. 1 hey were mostly
armed with ' old rifles and sholguns.
One of the sholguns a double-banelled
prize had buckshot in each load. We
encamped nor the scene of the chase
dunng the night, and, on resuming our
march in tbe morning, overlook and
burned a wagon load of wheat, which
they were endeavoring to run off. About
noon we entered tbe Indian Territory,
and came to the vicinity of fjowskm.
where we started another body of Rebels.
No sooner did the birds ruise, offering an
excellent opportunity for a shot on the
wing, than the orders was sounded along
the lines to halt, whi'e the Agiutanl
galloped to the real to hunt up the Maior,
and receive orders. During this delay,
the company officers and privates bud
the inestimable pleasure of seeing the
butternut gentlemen gallop across the
prairie aud disappear in the brush.
At length the order came for a forward
movemcq and away we went on a "wild
goose chase." We saw no more of the
chivalry. After going abtul 6 miles, we
came lo their old camp, but they had
made lorward movement backwards,
and we could only turn our backs to the
rear, and teturn to Buffalo Creek, where
we encamped for the night, and next
morning staried on tbe road to Carthage
by the way of Neosho. At the latter town
we arrived towards night, and encamped
in the public square. Neosho is the most
beautilul village that I have seen in Mis
souri. Ii is situated between a range of
bills, and is bordered on every side by
tbe most lovely landscape that one can
imagine. Besides this, the town is regu
larly laid out, and has many beautiful
residences.
"Here art and commerce with auspicious reien.
Unco breathed sweet iniluunte on the happy,
plain,
While o'er the town, rfiih dance and festive song
xoung pleasure lend the jovial hours along
In gay luxuriance Ceiea. loo, waa aeen.
To crown the values witn eternal' green."
We returned to Canhage next day,
when M J Purington was received by Maj.
Miner, who at once commenced to "put
on style," as the boys say. He issued
mnny orders which were not only un
necessary, but which were intended to
degrade the men. Drawing them each
evening up for dress parade, to the num
ber of some 250, he would give them a
long lecture on their past life as soldier,
and calling them a disorderly mob of
thieves, at the same lime observing that
men who would eleal would not tight.
Major Miner has missed his avocation ;
bis proper forte would be as commander
of a negro brigade in South Carolina.
They might not bear resentment at his
insults, but we, the free while men of the
North, are not likely soon fo forget his
dastardly meanness. His drees parades
were given at a time when it was currently
reported that there was a force of from
3,000 to 4,000 of the enemy within 18 to
20 miles of Carthage. They gave Ibe
Secesh spies an excellent opportunity to
learn our exact number between two
and three hundred. Then there was a
public inspection of horses, whereat nearly
every horse was reported unfit for duly.
Some ol them were In better condition
than they bad been at any time since we
left Fort Leavenworth, Starting on the
march to Fort Scott, be issued an order
that every man should walk and lead his
horse. This worked very well for the
first 8 or 10 miles, when the men took
the responsibility of mounting. On the
second day, we were allowed to ride every
half hour, and, on the third day, we rode
nearly the whole day, arriving at the
Fort about sundown, where we 'pitched
our tents, and returned thanks to the All
wise Providence for our deliveranoe.
The men who were detailed into Capt,
Hollester't Battery, U. 8. A., have re
turned to their companies. The- health
of Ibe Regiment it tolerably good. All
the Companies except G and L, have
gone to lola, 40 miles from their place.
Lieut. Wood returned lo hit company
while at Carina. All tbe men were
happy at bis return, and so was

A Curious Charge of an Irish Judge.

nell," tella tbe following strange story:
"As wti passed through Naas, O'Connell
observed that tbe bead of O'Counor. a rebel
schoolmaster, who was banged in 1796, bad
ceased for some years to ornament the goal.
Ho made (said 0'Conne1l)a bold speech in tbe
dock. He complulued of taxes and oppress
ion of various description;, and then said,
''Before the floh baa decayed from my
bones nay, before my body 'it laid in the
earth, the avengor of Tyranny will come.
The Frenob are on tbe sea while I utter

easy voyage, and strike terapr and dismay
into the cruol Irish people." When tba
prisoner concluded, Jrdge Finucane com
menced bis charge, in the course of which

I must uot forget there wai another point
of nonsense in your speech. You talked
about tbe tax on leather, and tatd it would

a large estate in Clare, and (here it not a
tenant upon it tbat basn't got as good boots
and shoes as myself. Aod,therefore,0'Con-
ner, you shall return to toe plaoe front
whence you came, and you shall be banged
by the neck till you are dead, and your
