Excerpt from Battle-Fields Revisited Leaving Kalamazoo yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock (july via the G. R. 85 I. Rail road, I arrived, without any peculiarly interesting event, at Cincinnati by the 7 4o A. M. Train. The morning was clear and beautiful as the 10ng shadows of the trees, cast by the rising sun, fell across the beautiful river through whose valley we approached the city. Before we reached Hamilton, 20 miles north of Cincinnati, the smoke which pre-tokened our proximity to Cincinnati was apparent, and before we reached that city the cloud had grown so thick and black as almost to obscure the sun.
