Enough was seen mid hoard too to

With this issue of our pnpor, wo hoist
tho nuino of tho Hon. A. It. Wrioiit,
ns a cnndiihuo to represent this Dis
trict in tho Congress of tho Confederate
Suites. Wo do this in justico to him
mid Isis constituents. It is truo that
wo have differed with Judge Wriout
in days that oro "past nnd gone,” but
lie has represented Isis constiucnts witli
such marked nbility in Also Frovlsionnl
Congress, Hint wo cannot find it in our
ho,irt to opposo him now. Among Ids
first nets in tho Congress nt Montgome
ry was a proposition to establish nn over
Armory in thisStnto, for tho mnnufncturo
of munitions war. Ho also otlerod
two bills, olio of wliioh, was adopted a
sa whole, the other in part, under which
tho wliolo army of tho Confederate
States lias thus far been organised. In
foot, he has been the bold, able and
unfuultoring advocate of every measure
wliioh lias com. boforo that body,
which had lor its objeol 'ho succoss of
oar arms, tise defence of onr liberties
nnd tho establishing of our Indepen
dence. His wliolo conduct, ns our rep
resentative, lias been marked by so
much xoal—so muoli encigy—so much
eaynosnoss of purpose, and sucli signal
ability as to ohullonge tho rospout, tlm
confidence nnd tho admiration, not
only of Ids constituents, but of orory
■patriot throughout our whole oountry.

ever general objections may bo urged
against tho propriety of Conventions,
it can certainly be said in favor of that
which met in Milledgevillo on \\ ednes-
day last, that it was governed exclusive
ly by a desire to promote the general
harmony and tho public good, and
that its inteligonco was fully equal to

far some days actively used ns an ob

the enemy were endeavouring to occu
py it in forco and to strengthen it. An
nitack was ordered on Friday, tho 13th

skirmish, succeeded in burning the
house. ...
An officer, n chaplain and six pnva:
were taken prisoners, four of tho en«

order ol the attack did not permit any
effort beyond dislodging the enemy
and destroying tbo bouse. Our brnvo
Confederates retired lit good spirit, and
without a casualty.
The mavemonts of the enemy, often
in considerable force, can be distinctly
seen from our advanced posts, and the j
tiring between pickets Is Kept up.
