lost—and bitter death grasping his
hair to drag him to the hell in which
he had never believed until then !
He felt the mass upon which he
clung creep over the fearful eaves,
inch by inch, line by line; his feet
first went over—the tiles that had sup
ported them fell crashing to the stones
below. He shrieked then ! At last
the monster felt the lawful pangs of
bodily fear! The desperado became a
coward, and lffiwled" his terrors with
shrill cries for help, which became
hoarse and terrific as his knees glided
into space.
He heard a mocking laugh even
then —a laugh like his old sneer of
malice and triumph. He glanced to
wards the platform, to see nothing,
for the darkness was almost palpable,
but to hear that laugh again. It was
Yadak, recovered from the random
blows which had prostrated him—la
dak, who could see in the dark as well
as a cat or a ghoul. Then- a flash of
light illumined the platform—Yadak
had removed the cannon from the trap
and men rushed up with torches. St.
John cursed in helpless agony, as he
saw Count Mario pointing out his fear
ful fate to Allison, Hartly and A mar.
He raved as the face of Clara his
wife, arose from the trap. But he
s w nothing of Rosetta —of his child,
of the daughter whose heart he had
stolen in the garb of a lover, and
crushed with the atrocity of a devil.
One movement more and he would
be a mass of shattered flesh and bone!
and as he plunged over backwards
those who watched his fate, saw his old
look of scorn and haughty defiance
flash from his clear and eagle-like eyes,,
a smile of iron derision curl his proud
lips. They heard his last shout of
daring pride, and then they gazed in
awe upon the empty space, and heard
with trembling the crash that told,
Victor St. John was no more!

THE FIGHT Tt FHILLIPPI.
Correct and Eeliable Details.
Col. J, W. Spalding, of this city,
who was a participator in the recent
fight at Phillippi, gives us the follow
ing particulars of that affair. Our
forces were posted in the town of
Phillippi, and numbered in all about
700 effective fighting men. The com
manding officer, Col. Porterfield, hav
ing been informed on Sunday by a
courageous lady, who rode from Fair
mount, in Marion county, through the
lines of the enemy at Grafton, and.
thence to Phillippi, a distance of 26
miles, that it was the purpose of the
enemy to attack us, and knowing his
superior force, determined upon retir
ing to Beverly, which is distant thirty
mile?. Not having .at hand the proper
ons were impressed, with a view of
at midnight.
It is stated that an order-wa» issued
for the pickets, outposts and scouts to
be in at 11 o’clock, on Sunday night,
and this order was obeyed. The bag
gage of the respective.,companies was
placed, upomtjie wagons,'but for some
reason, best known to the command
ing officer, the horses were not attached,
and they, were left standing in the
street.
It was in this position of affairs that
on the morning of Monday, about
daylight, the enemy opened fire upon
us from a two-gun battery of 6-pound
•Cis, posted upon a crowned point, upon
the*opposite shore of the Tygarts’ Val
ley River, which successfully com
manded the camps of the Clmrchville
Cavalry, of Augusta, and the Cavalry
of Rockbridge, numbering altogether
about 180 men, who were situated on
the opposite side of the river.
The horses of these corps being un
accustomed to the fire of artillery
broke from the picket ropes, by which
they were tied to the fence, and stam
peded in the wildest confusion, dash
ing in among the half-formed infantry
and filling the streets.
It was some time before the confu
sion produced by both the fire and
stampede was overcome. Meanwhile
the enemy upon the opposite side of
the river endeavored to foice the pas
sage of the bridge with one piece of
artillery, which he had held in reserve,
but in this movement he was checked
by a bold charge of Captain Richards,
of the Bath Cavalry, who was sta
tioned on the opposite side of the,
road., A running fire then ensued,
which continued up the main street of
the town, the enemy having finally
succeeded in crossing .the bridge, and
the successive discharges from the
troops brought him to a stand during
every few rods of his progress.
On reaching the curve of the road
leading towards Beverly, the foot
troops having been formed by their
respective officers, the main engage
ment took place and terminated in the
final fight at Stum's house, a mile and
a half from the village. Here the
enemy received a check, gave up the
chase, and Col. Porterfield made good
his retreat to the village of Beverly.
The successful termination of the
fight, and the warmth of the contest,
may be attributed to the wonderful
gallantry of the men, rather than to
the superintendence of any general
officer, and numerous instances might
be related of the most determined
bravery on the part of individuals.
The majority of our men showed ad- j
mirable pluck.
The IJ. S. soldiers fired at random,
though armed with Minnie rifles, which
accounts for our small loss. The en
emy were about 8,000 strong, though,
from the character of the country,
tt.... . fL p entire
body into action. Through a lady,
who has sine® arrived from Beverly,
it appeals they acknowledge to 25
killed; but tlje presumption is that
there were many more, to say nothing
of sixty or seventy wounded, who
were rapidly removed from the field.
Our own loss, so far as is ascertain
ed, are Mr. Hangefy of the Augusta
Cavalry, who . was killed near the
bridge; Mr. Martin, of Rockbridge,
ami Mrw Thomas E. Sims, of Rich
mond. The latter indivdual, when
last seen was bravely defending him
self, near the wagon of the Quarter
master, to whom he was an assistant.
The first wound he received was from
a man who was mounted, but who af
terwards met his deserts at the mouth
of a musket. His last and mortal
wound Mr. S. received while between
his wagon and the fence, when he was
endeavoring to mount a horse which
was near by. He had been up during
the entire night, preparing the vouch
ers for the horses which had been
pressed into service, and were to be
paid for. There vouchers were upon
his persen, and, with his bpdy, are
presumed to have been taken by the
enemy.
Capt. Richards, of the Bath 'Cav
alry, who was reported to be killed,
escaped unhurt, and reached Beverly
with his corps on Monday.
Private L. B. Dangerfield, from the
Warm Springs, was not killed, as re
ported. He received a severe and
painful wound on the left leg.
Such W'as the suddenness of the at
tack that some of the men had not
time to dress.
Col. Porterfield is now at Beverly,
where it is expected he can success
fully maintain his position until rein
forced. No doubt is entertained that
the Information of the absence of ar
tillery in the command of Porterfield
was communicated to Gen. McClelland
at Grafton, together with the fact that
our forces intended to move tbatnight,
by resident traitors. _
The chest of the Adam’s Expr«#sj
Company was captured by the enbfi&yj

had taken the precaution to
the money it contained, and the

is that many of their dead and wound
ed were removed from the field.
Blood covered their ground in all di
rections.
One of their officers, Captain War

mounted the fence when Col. Hill, of
the North Carolina Regiment, said :
“ Boys, there’s your mark ; take'hirn
down.” In an instant he fell dead.
Another, supposed from his dress to
be a field officer, was shot from his
horse, but carried off the figld. After
these losses there was great confusion
aiming the enemy, and they retreated
towards Hampton, leaving on the
ground a considerable number of have
sacks, guns and revolvers.
The watch and sword of Captain
Wardrop is nffw in Richmond. Our
men behaved bravely. Young Wyatt,
who was buried this afternoon with
military honors, was shot in the centre
of the forehead while advancing with
four others to attack fifty.

Further Details of the Battle at Bethel
Church.
Richmond, June }l2. —ihe news
which I telegraphed you yesterday,
about the defect of tfie Yankees at
Bethel Church, is confirmed in all
substantial particulars. It seems that
the enemy, forty-five hundred strong,
while marching, before oty oft Monday
morning, up the peninsula, were en
couiWircd at Bethel Church, eleven
miles beyond Hampton, by Mstgrujiev,
with about fifteen hundred men. * Af
ter a spiritod combat of but short du
ration, the enemy were defeated and
pursued some miles towards- Hamp
ton by our victorious troops. Their
loss is estimated by Mr. Anderson, of
Hampton, an eye-witness, at about
three hundred killed. Our loss is re
ported to be seventeen killed.
Among the killed on the enemy’s side
was Col. Geonge Duryea, the former
Colonel of the N. Y. 7t|i Regiment.
He was in command oPthe New York
Zouaves (1200 in number,) who par
ticipated in the engagement. When
his column reeled and broke under our
fire, Duryea .endeavored to rally them.
As he advanced towards our trenches,
he was shot through the heart. The

of Richmond. Charles Williams and

Winans’ Steamboat.
Every man has a favorite hobby on
which he bravely rides when in the
humor. The hobby of the million
aire of Baltimore, Mr. Winans, is a
steamboat of peculiar form, as unlike
any steamboat afloat as it is possible
for a very imaginative man to imag
ine. Take of tobacco as much as all
the States can raise in a year, anil
roll it into a gigantic cigar, with ends
exceedingly tapering, put an enor
mous water-wheel around its waist,
and then set it on the waters of our
.harbor, and you have an idea of the
curious craft the man worth $12,000,-
k 'OOO, is wasting time, energy and
[money upon. The model boat with
whiqji Mr. Winans originally aston
ished the Baltimoreans, did nst prove
so successful as he had anticipated;
hut a*he was of those who do not sur
render at the first point of attack, he
cut his boat in two, added some fifty
feet to her length, and started steam.
The huge wheel revolved—the craft
started, and in the words of an as
tonished spectator, “she went down
the Patapsco, and over the Chesa
peake Bay like the devil.’’ Mr. Wi
r.ans is satisfied with his hdfcfey, and
to assure the world of anew and ex
traordinary invention in naval archi
tecture, has contracted for a steamer
of the “ cigar-build, that will be six
hundred” feet in length, and propor
tioned to correspond. With it he
proposes to cross the Atlantic in five
days of less!
Woman’s Carriage.
To marry 'bae man while losing and
loved by another, is about the most
grievous fault a woman can commit.
It is a sin against delicacy, kindness
and truth. It involves giving that to
legal right which is guilty arid Shame
ful when given to anything but recip
rocal affection. It- invlflves wounding
the spirit, withering the heart, perhaps
blighting and soiling the soul—-of the
one who is abandoned and betrayed.
It involves the speedy disenchantment
of the one who is mocked by the
shadow where he was promised the
substance, and who grasps only the
phantom, soulless beauty, and the
husk, the shell, the skeleton of a dead
affection. It entails ceaseless decep
tion, at home and abroad, bi and
by night, at down sittingauu uprising;
deception in the tenderest and most
endearing moments of our existence.
It makes the whole life a weary, de
graded, unrewarded life. A right,
minded woman could scarcely lay a
deeper sin upon her soul, or one" more
certain to bring down a fearful expia
tion. For a woman in very -truth,
this is a sin against- the Holy Ghost—
a sin unto death—a sin which costs a
terrible darkness over both worlds.

WEDNESDAY, JUNJj.d9. *
PLEDGE YOUR COTTON.
The South holds within herself, a
latent strength so potent, that were
the powep and resources of the North
thrice hs great as they are, Rs giant
force could break and bend them as a
man crushes the reeds upon which he
treads. In this war, but just hcgpa
to rage| ' Ctery boll of’cotton will be
as useful as a bullet, and every 'bale
as formidable as a cannon, against the
foe. Scattered y-s this mighty force
now is, its vigor and weight would
eventually turn the scale of w ar* but
collected and concentrated within
the power of our government, its
might, guided by our clear-minded an*!
sagacious Statesmen, would at once
become a potency as invincible m the
affairs of the nation, as all the waves
of the sea, heaped into one, would be
wheri'swept upon a harrlef of sand.
Already a plan has been conceived
and put into partial execution, by
which the sinews of the Government
arm are doubly strengthened—the
plan of subscribing a portion of the
cotton crop for proceeds which are to
be invested in Confederate bonds.
But this merely authorizes the cotton
factor to sell the staple, no matter to
whom, so a certain price bb realized,
and pledges that amount to b&jnvested
in Confederate Imnds. iAwe that
this will set flowing a str||S|»eOaoney
into the exchequer of oot Confeder
acy with which to prosecute thfe war.
But it admits of two grave objections.
First, cotton will soon become more
valuable to us than
this pledg|d amount of the staple-may
be bought ifp who. ‘are
the bitter foeffof our govevntrieht dpd
people. Jj
The proper plan is to pledge, no toy
part, hut the whole of the cotton crop
to the Confederate Government, re
ceiving in exchange its bonds, which
draw eight per cent., and not to allow
the factor to sell it to any buyer save
our own Government.
Thus would the Government beqogne
sole controller of the cottqn destiny ;
thus would it be empowered to make
its bonds a legal tender for debts;
thus would our Government become
of a sinew farWtronger than
mere dfdlars and'cents; thus would it
hold within its grasp the earthly salva
tion of jive millions of the Englisdt
people, and two millions ofgFrance,J
besides the choice of peace
mercy' or retribution, as regards the
assailant North; thus would the world
know, beyond all doubt, as an insur*
mountable fact, that the great South
ern people, with its teeming millions,
is a unit, irrevocably bound to support
our rulers even to the last gasp ; and
last, though not least, thus would the
people of the North see at W glance
that the idea o£*re union is an absurd
ity—fit only for the consideration of
political maniacs.
Therefore we urge this matter upon
the immediate attention and effort of
our people.
Some may fear that a monopoly of
cotton would thus be given to our gov
ernment; but have we not entire con
fidence in the purity and patriotism
of our rulers? Neither is it neeessarj'
to create this apparent monopoly for a
longer term than the present year, du
ring which every man of the South
should be happy and content if he
clears expenses, and holds his
own.
Therefore let every cotton planter
pledge his crop directly to the Confed
erate Government, that it mn}' be sus
tained, for if it should fail in this
struggle what would cotton be worth
to the planter ? What would his ne
groes be worth ?—ground into tfafi
dust, as he would be, by the tyranicak
and merciless conquerors of tlfe North.
The irhole matter lies within a nut
shtrfi, •thus: If the planter takes Con
federate tonds drawing eight perWegt.
for his ‘crop, ,and the Confederate
States.achieve their independence, he
will find those bonds far more valua
ble than simple cash; and if they do
not achieve their independence his
property in every shape will 0c seized
by the victorious North to pay
tire expenses of the war.
The shorter the struggle 'theoetter
for all, and we know of no better plan
by which to end it before next fall
than by pledging every bale of cotton
of this year’s crop to our Govern
ment.
The reader, upon examination, will
find this plan well entertained by near
ly every cotton grower, and we sug
gest the expedi icy of an immediate
assembly of the cotton planters of this j
county to act in the matter at once. I
Wo hope some of our pramineht
citizens will take the affair in«hand at
once, for if general action, ovcrAhe
cotton States, could be had before the
meeting of the Federal Congress, on
the 4th of July, and that actioriYcsult
in unanimous effort to support our Gov
ernment, as above, we feel confident
that the Black Republican Adminis
tration wpuld * reroivo its dehtjj blow.
GOVERN OBJpROWN.
We think public sentiment will agree
witli us in terming the above public
servant a would-bc public master, and
a real old lie-termagant. Perhaps the
sources from which our premises are
derived, in arriving at this Conclusion,
ar* erroneous, and the facts exaggera
ted,. yet from daily evidence, by re
port and in print, we are forced to be-"
lieve that Joe Brown is afraid Joe
Bitowirwill be forgotten to be the illus
trious Gov. Joe Brown, of Ge-or-gia.
Although the hordes of the aboli
tionists have invaded our sister States,
Virginia, Maryland and Missouri, and
the daily cry is for more armed troops
and although our State is swarming
with brave men, panting for the glori
ous privilege of battling the foe, and
especially as it is a fact that the arse
nals of Georgia are well stocked with
arms, Gov. Brown persists in refusing
to arm Georgian patriots to fight in
the common cause, and thereby is de
moralizing and paralyzing the war
spirit of this State, which has honored
him too much indeed in choosing him
as her chief Sftrfvant.
As we are credibly informed, whole
regiments of volunteers for the war,
are disbanding, muttering bitter male
dictions upon the narrow minded and
selfish policy which drives them to
their honms, while the blood of their
Virginian countrymen and kindred
vengeance.
J IHs’Gov. Brown afraid that these
J men will not bring back to defend
Georgia, should she be invaded ? I
Pluck up thy cqOTfige,“'Governor; for
our repulse any force the
enemy can senifagainst Georgia.
If we are doing JoSETH BROWN an
injustice, in writing thus Severely, we
respectfully ask some of his frjends
—if ho has one still loft —tot
right, for he seems eagte'ht to be ir
retrievably damned, politically jtnd
socially speaking, without attempting
to explain his position save by a carp
ing, splenetic epistle to Col. BA|||qw,
in which he shows much- personal
that wejhjwli for bitji, •

from liis person of Col.
Duryea, of Jtew Yorlqdate Colonel of
the ret.rcaletL .regiment.
‘ While, striving to rally his 1,200
rascally, ravishing, ruffianly Zouaves,
at' Great Bethel, he was shot dead by
a North hurrah for that
fellow!”
The sword which ths patriotic dames
of New York- gave him, to use against
the lives of their kindred of the South,
is now a trophy of our people.
Our soldiers are shooting into the
bull's eye—kill the officers, and the
rabble will run like scared lizards.
Since writing the above, report says
it was Col. Wardrop, and not Col.
Duryea, who fell. All the better, as.
Duryea is a m<?re parlor-soldier,
while Wardrop was a true soldier of
battle.

the Secession spirit in Maryland, and
the Federal leaders are in hourly an
