THE WILDERNESS. (Iou thc Field Look? Kow. ti, .V. ?a Phi?adtJphM Times. In thc dark depths of this wildwood two mighty annie-, both veteran, cager, mettlesome, came with a stealthy creep ing, and then a resounding clash, hard together. Vpril hud given fresh foliage to th. trees, hut May .had brought two bun dled thousand men to lurk in |tho cha parral. 11 lear through the thickets of bramble bushes and clumps of thorny Fhruh* and to light np tho hollows, hith erto dismal from time unknown, with fias ues whose reties startled thecoulinent. For eight and forty hours tho blind giants fought with desperate purpose and then, leaving twenty-five thousaud men to the fate of ibo bravo, they dragged their crip pled lengths sullenly southward lo better battle ground-beyond. FOOTPRINTS Of T1IK AllMY. Here in the Wilderness are tho best preserved heel prints and claw marks of the war. The taco of tho earth retains scars as well as tho face nf a man, and na ture when let alone will show scratches made hy those who long Bincc have boen gathered beneath her green. As soon as a line of breastworks was thro wn up in these untrodden forrests there sprang from tho sub soil nil -'-rt- of shrubs and woodplants, which, with the coating ot shatters blown from the pines around, resist thc wear and tear of time. The Wilderness is a wide -tietch pf tim ber on rocky, rolling land, covering the northwestern < truer of Spottsylvaoiti county. At the southern edge, a few miles from this heart of it, is thc Chan cellorsville battle ground, fifteen mile. In low is the sconce of -'laughter at Fred ericksburg and to the south is Spottsyl vania Court 1 louse, where occurred tin terrific twin battle lo the one ileliverct herc. Every square mile of land it Spoltsyl vania is historic- a place of bat tlc upon which to light meant to slay Hut, unlike the other fields iii the county this upland corner, hemmed in by tin Knpidan, is heavily timbered with scrul oak, pine, chestnut and hazel, with briar and chincapin bushes springing at lb roots of the trees. There is an occasions opening and at this point, on the Wilder ness run, a branch of the Hapidan, ar several farms, some comfortable dwelling and II store. The land immediately DO! dering tho run is moro fertile than that II the distance of a mile orso, and a narnu strip of it is now in corn and gras; When thc battle was fought a taver stood near the Orango turnpike, on a bi lock at tho side of thu stream, but it WJI turndown hy the soldiers and since tin there has been no attempt at resloralioi Within sight of the store whither country men for miles around come to trude, ai four farm buildings, while somewhat I the not th Is a mino 'rom which gold rt ccntly has been taken in paying quant tits.

A Pl H it wi ur ri OF DEAD. Kiding out to the pike with the nidi; ing young st irekeeper wo came to point whereat the edge of au oak belt i new growth of pines which lift thc -mall greon cones twenty or thirty fe above thc ground. At the time of tl hattie this pino woods was au open lie mid through il run n ditch. The diu remains, but its bcd is dry and overgrov with weeds. Flies buzzed around o heads and bit our hands as wc made o way along the ditch, for hero three tho sand men fell and wo were searching 1 evidences of the struggle, between Warr and Ewell. Of bones there were none sight, but rusty canteens were as piont /ul as persimmons and I had the go luck lo find a slump from the rotten bet of which we picked a number of Mir halls. Tho storekeeper tells me that i ter the desperate assaults this ditch w so filled with bodies that in ono place miner, shod with bloody grime, walk for two hundred yards or moro with li man heads for stepping stones. 1 Warren and Sedgwick, under Gran stern eye, gave buck in kind. So comes that along the clearly marked li ol'rebel entrenchments on tho other si of thu thicket are several mounds n just as many trifling relics, ol' t he cant, kiud, as aro to bo seon in thc ditch. '1 canteens that I noticed among the wee where tho mon of the North stood, inclined to t uc oval in shape, but thc picked un along the breastworks w round and llat, like a slice cut crossw; from a water melon. Campaigners f those familiar with tho equipment thc two armies will recall that the re canteen was as diflicrent from the cauh of. Yan koo innko as is Kentucky c juico from Connecticut cider or 1er lightning. A THICKET OF PLATH. Thc battle was fought in two defile for while on the fith of May it raged ah tho Grange turnpike, at Grant's ri hand, on tho Cth Hancock aud Longstr wrestled along the Grange plank road tho left of Grant and some two ut south of his headquarters at Old Wilt ness Tavern. Returning from tho di of tho desolate pines on tho Fedi right, wo drove down a hill to Gra cleared field, crossed Wilderness r came again to the store, passed ovei bard, rock wagonway, red in tho h suulight, and after a half hour's i struck the famous Brock road. H at that thoroughfare's intersection v tho Stovensburg road, btands au i nailed to which is a sign pointing sot cast to nhancolloreville and soutli Snottsylvania Court House. This pt of intersection is historic for more ii deDts than one. On a day iu May, li Jackson lcd bia 25,000 veterans by qu and secret march to this tree and, wu ing, swept resistless fury down tho r until he gave Ho >kcr hts lasting scar found for himself tho death wound c hero. On a day in May, 18G4, Qt hurries past tho oak to tho plank r below, that ho may Btop Lee's oncom host and thwart Leo's purpose to cr thc new chief of a grander army tl his own. There in tho thickcl to right Getty Btrikes the enemy and hi him, but grows weaker as tho moint fly so that ho Blnps his thighs for when he hears tho ringing huzza of Ii cock's men as they brilliantly end a b liant march in the nick of tinto. Ti In the thicket the gallant Hays has gi his life, and the dying men are at rent ?fevery piue. Into inc undergro moves Hancock's great line of battle, i hour after hour he wrestles with tho Trees are stripped of their limbs, dead leaves of the past autumns are BW by thc fire and the rattle of mu?kt tolls of the desperate work in l depths. I rodo along the Rrock road for nb three miles to tho ruins of the Br house in a small, fallow, unfenced ii. half way to Todd's Tavern. The grot of timber on either aide of the roat unbroken. There is not a sign of hun habitation. Tha woods aro so dense t at some points it is impossible to twenty yards within, and at no phic an object a hundred yards ofJ from road discoverable. Trees and bush bushes and trees. But along ono side the road from the Orango plank south tho Brock ruins is a continuous lino Well picHOi ved c?i tb works, nero it is to the ton button of the coat, again it knee high and occasionally almost lo with the ground ; but it is always tra able. At times it runs offinto the wo. for a few feet, bot curves again and 1 by tho sido of tue road liko nnd cudi grave mound. In most places it is bro with a covering of dead.loaves and p shatters, while at othors it is green w small shrubs and matted briars. Lt stick but at intervals and their onds a charred in thc place whero a roar! wood fire helped Longstreet to make a temporary breach in the linc. Three quarters of a mile in tho woods to the west, and parallel to Hancock's entrench ments, are the Confederate breastworks. They stretch to the right and left (if the plank road and run for a seemingly inter minable distance. The earthworks that I saw nt Bull Hun, in the Peninsula, at Fredericksburg and at Chancellorsville were slight compared with these but when the armies started on the Kapidan cam paigti they knew the value of the shield j of sand. This was thc strangest hallie ever j fought and it is thc strangest battle Held. 1 l here tails the dusk of an August day and a vast breadth of crimson slants up from tho west in tho track of tho sun. Trees are to the right and left and every where, ?od the silence of the Wilderness oppresses. It is easy to think of New England's King Phillip, of Boone, of Tecumseh, anti of Tippecanoe but it is difficult to keep the mind upon generous Wadsworth, who fell here, upon Sedg wick, who soon followed, upon Lee and Grant. To regard this as a place of hattie were painted warriors dodged from tree and pioneer riflemen held their own, is natural enough, hut il is hard to realize that 1 . re was fought a hattie according I to the art of war, that here was begun such n series of awful combats as the j world never saw before. THE FATEFUL FIRE FIES?. I _ j A Dreadful Condi t to? of A (Tu I rn In Hlth IKHII. DKi'itoi r, Mien., September 7. Reports are beginning to arrive from thc northeastern portion- of thc state showing thc terrible condition of affair*. The long continued drouth has rendered everything as dry a-> tinder and nu mci M "flashings," or partly cleared tra- h?of laud covered with brush, decayed timber and other inlinininatory material alford thc best possible medium for the rapid spread of the (lames carried by the high ?ind- which have buen prevailing. Saliuac and Haron counties are thc scones of the greatest destruction which is growing postively appalling in charac ter. Hundreds ot farms have already been reduced to blackened ashes. Stock, crops, farm buildings ?ind fences, all have I been swept away. Men women and children iiavu been overtaken by the j Hames, and several liven are known to j have been lo.it. It is feared when full accounts are received that thc loss of life will prove terrible. The little hamlets of Anderson, Richmond mid Charleston in Saliuac county are all reportd to have been wiped out, while Fort Hope, Vero UV Mills and liadaxc, Huron county, are reported wholly or ?tartly burned up. The people are Hocking lo the shore of lake Huron from the interior of these counties as the only refuge from tho devouring llames. Some were overtaken by the spreading fire. Not less than twenty deaths ar?; already reported, hut it is hoped tlnit these statements may prove incorrect. In Tuscala county in the next tier back from Lake Huron and south of Saginaw, lires are also raging hut with less severity. 'I'he losses arc overshadowed by a more terrible condition of Ulinga in the ad joining counties. The same state of af fairs exists in t'aperer county, and tho whole country around Saginaw an 1 Bay City is ablaze from the marshes taking tire. Reports of many losses to the far mers arc beginning to reach here. DETKOIT, September 8.-Telegraphic communication is entirely cut off with tho worst parta of the burnt regiou of this State, so that reports are yet some what fragmentary, and it is hoped exag gerated ; but there arc many fears that tho worst is far from having been told. The complete destruction of Richmond? ville, Sanilas county, is confirmed. The villages of Carson, Charleston nr.d Tyre are reported to be completely destroyed, and Ashley partly so. The townships of Delaware, Nunken and Austin, in Sani las county, and Bingham, Sherman and Puris, in Huron county, are burned over and desorted. Tho crops in these town ships were all harvested, and nearly all aro now lost. The remains of a family of seven nnraed Redmond were found in a well nour Charleston, they having entered the well for sheller and being there suffo cated. The charred remains of Henry Colo were also found ut Charleston, and a family named Vasula, in Paris town ship, and Mrs. DUhcrt and her three children, were overtaken by tho flames and burned to death. In Watertown township, another family named Hcnisun have, it is believed, been burned. Two families named Thornton and I^ee, it is foared, fell a prey to the flames near Richmondvillc. Thero waa a galo currying the fire with a rapidity that often prevented escape, ?'esterday afternoon thc direction of the wind changed, and this, it is feared, will add new destruction by sending the flames over sections that had escaped. It was much cooler last night, which is. in that respect, favorable,"but the wind is high ana the country helpless. There are no signs of rain, without which thore Beems to lie no deliverance. Tho Board of Trade ot this city yester day appointed committees to solicit ro lief for the destitute comtnunitiesf as it is very evident that largo work in that direction is at our doors. Hundreds of lamines have lost all their property and this year's crops, and are reduced tc a condition of absolute uud immediate want. FAREWELL, LARD! WELCOME, OIL! -Tho eating world will have occasion to throw up its cap if tho discovery lately announced that cotton seed oil is "a most satisfactory substituto for lard" be con firmed. I hopo it is true, for tho sake especially of the many housekeepers who are sorely trietl in their cooking by that product of thu swine, which, like butter, varies in tho quality, aud whoso odor, when sizzing in the frying pan, awakens in the imaginativo kitchen godUew vis ions of pent up, garbage fed, slimy porkers, and perhaps a notion or two of trichina? snugly ensconced in the cosy vesicles. No one is afraid of good vege table oil. Its impressions uro cool and historic aud agreeable. It whispers of dewy meadows, refreshing breezes, Bwcet aroma-i, and so on. But lard ! Every thing it suggests is heating and exospe ating. However, moro to the point : Col. Nelson, of Huntsville, Ala., sayB ho has repeatedly used cotton seed oil at bis house, and rinds it ec;t*a! to thc heal article of lard. A hotel keeper nt Mem phis publishes a statement to the same effect, lt hos been tried by several cit zen8 of Tuscumbia, Ala., who say that thoy can fiud no difference between tho oil and lard as an article for cooking. The best thing about it, a? most econom ical housewives will say, it. tho cost, that being now not more than half the price of the pork extract. And should this discovery turn out a fact undeniable, what a revolution it will produce in the pork trade! And what an impulso it will givo to the cotton interest, coming iust in time to speed tho revival of in iustry and enterprise in tho South. Everybody must grease the pan-the lygionist for his roll, thc beef eater for lia steak-and all will heartily welcome he sweet, translucent distillation of nn urc-N. Y.

BUMBARDMENT FROM THE SKY. Why th??_lCnrtb I* lloinb-I'roof. utid the Keaton Wby ni) Ul? Aerolites clo nut Keach Terr? Firma. "It is lucky for u-i that the earth ba? I such a good bomb proof on tho skyward i gide,'- said the astronomer on Wednesday morning last as lie stood, coat?es? and bare-headed, on tho roof watching tho August meteors. "Why?" aited tLo reporter, panting as he clambered up through the scuttle hole. 'You'd have seen reason enough if you j ha.', been up hero with me for thc last two hours," na'ul the astronomer. "Why, the earth has been undergoing a regular bombardment. It's not over yet. Look at that fellow, how bc skit :s ' You would call it a shooting star. Well, there's tut ... <o.h rea-"Mi f::r calling it a celestial shell. If those British artiller iatM could give their projectiles a velocity like that, they might plant their guns on thc Welsh mountains and shell every troublesome tenant In Ireland out of his hut. That meteoroid was moving twenty or thirty milt s a second ; yet it could not gc through the bomb-proof that protects the earth." "Where i, thc bomb-proof?" "Why, right under your nose; all around you ; it's the atmosphere. When tho meteoroids strike thc air that sur round- the earth th? heat produced in consequence ol their tremendous velocity rutir up a million degrees or more a sxc ond, and in a twinkling they are chang ed to vapor. If they could get through the atmosphere they would make il live ly ! <r us. No man could tell at what in stant he might be struck down by a shot from thc sky, for meteoroids aro plunging into the atmosphere all thc time at thc rate of several millions a day for the whole earth. At certain times, as about thc Pub ol August and the 18th ol No vember, they come in showers and fairly bombard thc earth. Thc soft air that fans the cheek i* to most of theso pro jectiles from space as impenetrable as a wall of steel. Home of them, however, aro able lo penetrate to the earth, but they are comparatively very few in num ber. When a meteoroid strikes the earth it ts cal lcd an aerolite. No good muse um of mineralogy is without one or more specimens ot theso black-crusted, iron like bodies. Humboldt tells of two monks who were killed by them, one al Crema, in 1611, thc other at Milan, in 1650. He also relates that two Swedish sailors wore killed by an uerolite on board their ship in 1074. The thatched roofs of houses have been set on fire by aerolites, and sheep and animals have been struck dead in the fields by them. Some think it waa a shower of aerolites that over whelmed the Amerites after they had been whipped bv Joshua, as described in thc Bible." I "But these aro rather ancient instan ces." "Well, there are modern instances enough. We arc no safer than our fore fathers. Hardly a year passes without one or more masses of meteoric stone falling in thc neighborhood of hitman habitations. In 1875 a (Jerinnn farmer waa shot through the arm by a small aeorlite, which made a hole like a bullet. In 1878 p. boy at Hanau had a piece of his thumb clipped oil'be a burning stone that fell from the sky. About two yearn ago a boy at Paterson, N. J., was said to have been hit on the leg byan aerolite. His story was doubted, bul I believe it was never disproved, mid certainly it was uot impossible. A man is iu moro dan ger of being killed hy lightning than by ntl aerolite, but il would not be so if the air did not protect him. "If you will notice thc direction of the meteoroids now falling, you will sec that they do seem to come from one point in the constellation Perseus. That is a pe culiarity ot" all regular swarms of meteor oids. Tho radiant point shows the direc tion io which the meteoroids are moving with respect to thc earth's orbit. If you watch the heavens on the nights of No vember L2th and Lilli you will see meteorida all seeming to corue from a point in tho constellation Lee. This November swarm is thc most famous of ai!. Some of the meteoroids belonging to it appenr every year, but once in about 33 years they tall in perfect showers. They were seen by Humboldt iu South America, in 179?? ; in 1832 they appearer in the United States, and in 1K06 in Eu rope. They are due again in about eigh teen years. The shower in S33 is very famous. It caused moro terror than tho most frightful comet ever did. "Thero is a description by a South Carolina planter that has been frequent ly quoted in astronmical works, but never loses its interest: " 'I was suddenly awakened by the .most distressing cries ever fell on my cars. Shrieks of horror and cries for mercy I could bear from most of the ne groB of three plantations, amounting in all to about sis or eight bund.ed. While earnestly listening for tho cause I heard a faint voice near the door calling my name. ? arose, and taking my Bword, stood a-, thc door. At this moment 1 heard the same voice still beacechiug me to rise, 2nd said: 'Oh, my God tho world is on lire !' I then oponed the door, and it is difficult to say which ex cited me the most, the awfulness of the scene or the distressed cries of the ne groes. Upwards of ono hundred lay prostrate upon tho ground-some speech less and Bomo with tho bitterest cries; but most with their hands raised, im ploring God to savo tho world and them. The scene was awful, for never did rain fall much thicker than tho meteors fell toward tho earth ; east, west, north and south it was the Bame.' "Thero arc many other records of great meteoric showers, and in several instan ces the earth baa been covered with a de posit of black or red dust after them. Mostof these meteoroids aro small bodies, some, perhaps, not larger than peas. Others are very large being several feet, or even several yards in diameter. It is believed that a shower of huge aerolites must have fallen at some time in north ern Mexico, for tho ground has been found strewn with masses of meteoric iron. A very famous aerolito fell at .T'gos Potamos about 469 years beforo Christ. It was said to be as' largo as two millstones. Humboldt, who says that the stone suspended over the tomb of Mo hammed is an aerolite, never gave up thc hope that modern travelers might yet find the .Egos Potamos alono. Big aerolites make a great display of light ns they rush throught tho air. As they utriVn ?he denier portion of the atmos ph?re they ofteu eoeui to explode, some times making a loud detonation, and are scattered in showers of many colored fragments. A beautiful specimen of this kink of aerolite wes seen by many per sons in and about New York some three weeks ago. As it nppcar.nl to burst like a rocket, its substances probably roached the earth in very smdl fragments or in the form of dust. "Meteors follow in the trpek of the .omets. With a little stretch of the im agination we may fancy a comet like a celestial man-of-war, sailing by and pouring a broadside into tho carib, vhoso atmosphere, like a breastwork of cotton bales, swallows up tho projectiles vithout damage to its defenders. Thero s something very suggestive In Dr. Draper's idea that comets may contain he remains of organic life. If they con ant such romain-, then aerolites do; and rhen you pick up one of these bodies in , museum you hold in your har ! what aay, ages before Evo was tempted by tho erpent, have formed the body of n living eing in some other world, lighted by Dine other sun/'-?V.

A Kissing Spring.

We have not been to ?cc then;, but <>ur informant, a good citizen and a liaptist preacher of celebrity, tells what he saw. Parsou John lt.

Those under the influence of the water are perfectly ecstatic, and hugging and loving every thing they meet. Ho says : I never saw thc like, children and boys and girls hugging and kissing every one they meet. Old men and old women,"young men und young ladie., embracing each other by bugging and kissing. I met an old white-headed man and woman - I sup pose about eighty years old-and they were hopping and skipping like Iambi.
