From Stoiiowall Jackson.
Wo have.keen kindly permitted to
take the following extracts from a pri

army:
Lieut. .7. M. Mack wns severely tvoun.
ded in the thigh : Frank Mills in the
thigh nlso; Bob. McBeoin the arm, and
Georgo W. Pyln was wounded slightly.
That is about nil the wounded in our
company. The Regiment lost about
4 killed and 18 or £0 wounded, while
at our first volldy 49 Yanks fell dead en
the field, and about as many more
were wounded.
Our Regiment Whipped a ’.thole Brig
ade (Blcnkcr’s) while the other regi
ments in our division wero-fighting
nbcut two to one. The men wo fought
wero mostly foreign born—27th PennJ
sylvania and 8th New York—but few
of the prisoner could speak English. In
both days fight, Sunday and Monday
wo captured about 1500 or 2,000 priso
ners. I hoar (ho Yankees have gone
down the Valiey towards Winchester
again, if so I expect when tliev get in n
pretty good supply of sugar, coffee and
army Btoros, Stonewall will take us up
after it again.*

An Appeal for the Sick Soldiers.
There are between two and three
thousand sick soldiers in Atlanta.—,
Citizens of other places besides Allan
ta have nobly responded to tlio culls
made upon them for help in furnishing
the Hospitals with Bedding. Vegetables.
Pickles and various delicacies needed
mul highly appreciated by the sick.—
The citizens of Rome have within a few
days sent them eleven packages of sup.
p-ies. But cities and towns ave much
sooner exhausted of such tilings than
tlio country would be. Farmers gath
er from their gardens and fields more
than we can make in the city. It will
bo a noble praiseworthy work to gather
up and send to tho suffering soldier
whatever may bo spared from our farms.
If any farmer wishes to send beans,
cabbage, potatoes, Irish or sweet pota
toes, green corn, pickles or anything
suitable for the sick or convalescent and
will box thorn up, for that wo cannot
do, or put thorn in sacks and send them
to the Depot, wo will have them trans
ported to Atlanta free of charge to the
donors. Offico Romo Rail Road.

The Battle of Port Kepulilic.
We copy from, the Lynchburg “Vir
ginian’’ the following graphic narra
tion :
'I'llis battld was fought on Monday,
tho 0th of June, in Kcckinghnm coun
ty, near the village of Port i epublic,
situated just below the junction of thft
two streams which mako the Shenan
doah river. On tlio day before, our
forces, about 10,000, led by General
Jackson, had engaged tlio enemy at
Dunkor’s Church, under Fremont, num
bering some 30,000, nnd routed them,-
with great loss in killed and wounded,
nr.d a large number of prisoners. On
Monday morning, nbout sunrise, our
forces crossed tlio bridge at tho junc
tion of the two streams to attack tho
enemy, numbering about 12,000, under
Gen. Shields. Tho river here makes a
bond or cescent form, circi.ng round
o largo piece of low grounds, on which
there wns heavy crop of Wheat. Near
ly opposite tlio bride, and on tho other
side of this field, tho enemy wero drawn
up in line of battle, and in their front,
on a small hill, at tiro foot of Colo
Mountain, commanding the whole po
sition, wns tho celebrated Clark battery,
(consisting of eight splendid guns, two
Parrot, two mountain howitzers, and
four riile pieces) named by the artillery
corps, under command of Clark.
From this battery was belched forth
one-incessant storm of grape, canister
and shell, literally cevei-ing the Valley,
so that the work of attack on our part
seemed almost hopeless.
Jucksott, Ewell, and Taylor wero nil
there, and their forces eager Tor the
encounter. But it seemed rash and
even desperate to attempt it. General
J. looked for r. while thoughtfully on
tho scene, and then turning to Taylor,
inquired. “Can you take that battery?
It must be taken, or the tiny be lost."
Taylor replied, “We can,” and pointing
his sword to Iho battery, called out to
liis niah'j "Louisianians, cun you take
that battery?” Willi one universal
shout, that made the mountains to
echo, th'ej declared they could ; where
upon, ho gave the order, in that sono
rous voice, "Forward, charge the bat
tery and Utko it.” Omvard~dashed tho
Louisiana brigndo (composed of the
6th,.7th, 8th, and 9th Louisiana regi
ments and the Tiger battalion, assisted
by one Virginia regiment,) across the
low grounds, right after the battery.—
From its mouth now, with renewed
violence, pouted streumes ol shell and
shot, mowing down our men like grass.
The earth seemed covered with tho
dead and wounded.
Tho gallant Col. Henry Hays, com
manding the 9th Louisiana regiment,
was badly wounded. His Lieut. Col.
De Cltoino, was shotthreugh the lungs,
ami after again and again endeavored
to hold ins place on tho field, was borne
off almost insensible. This regiment,
one of whoso 0,001 panics was led by
Captain D. A. Wilson, of our town,
carried into the light but three hun
dred and eight effective men, the rest
being sick or detailed on other service,
of whom one -hundred and fifty-eight
wero killed or wounded, Onward they
ruSlfcd, sustained by the 6th,' 8th, 9th,
the Tigers, under Bob Wheat-, and tho
Virginia regiment, all doing their duty
like heroes. They dare the battery.—
Volumes on volumes of the shot con
tinued to salute their advance—but
they do alliance. They strike their
bayonets aod sabres into the artillerists
as they servo tlio guns, they kill the
horses, they seizo the guns, they take
tho battery, and the victory is accom
plished. Frou f day and proud honor
this for those who did this gallant deedl
Jackson, Ewell, and Taylor, wero pres
ent, cheoring on the fight. Every offi
cer, nay, every matt! did his duty, the
enemy flying in dismay,-having no timo
to spike their guns, and our men seizo
and direct their fire against themsolves.
This was one of the most glorious bat
tles of tliis war, and ono of the blood
iest.
We lost in killed and wounded be
tween 500 and 700 mon. Tho enemy’s,
besides their guns, stores and prisoners,
must uhve been three or four times that
number.
When tho bloody scone was over a
moment is spent in thankfulness to
God. and another in silent rejoicing
at tho result. Gen. Jackson now pub-
lioly thanked Taylor and the Louisi
ana. brigade for the day's work. “Take
that battery,” said Jackson to Taylor,
“and keep it, for your men have won
it—carry it to your nativo State when
you "return, and call it tiro Louisiana
battoiv, and let it bo kept as a monu-
mont'of this da'y.”
Gracefully acknowledging, the com
pliment, Gen. Taylor took six of the
guns, (two could not be carried ) and
placing them under the can of Capt.
Tlios. M. Bowyer, of Liberty, who had
nobly participate l in the tight, they
were forthwith sent to Medium's Depot,
in the county of Albemarle, where, un
der that otlioer. tiiey nro now. being
fitted for service on cur side.
This narration comes from an eye
witness and actor in the battle, Captain
Daniel A. Wilson, of our own town,
and it affords us great pleasure to place
it before our loaders.

Picket firing wns constant and ani
mated along cur whole front yesterday,
being muoh more brisk than on any
former opcasion,.and which At one pe
riod gave promiso of a severe engage
ment. On the right tho discharges of
musketry were regular and lively, bitt
toward the centre tho engagement be
tween outposts was very warm and ani
mated. On Tuesday night four com
panies of iho 9th Virginia wero sent out
to tho right of tlio York River Railroad,
aho'-e the 6th milo post, and at 3) A.
M., yesterday, tho enemy discovering
their nppionch, opdhod a brisk fire upon
them with musketry and artillery.
Peing suppmted by tho 14th and 53d
Virginia regiments, these also were de-
^ ’1^ ns skirmishers, and tho bush
t, with little intermission was kept
up all day—artillery being occasionally
used on both sides. Towards evening
however, tho onumy being largely rein
forced, made great demonstrations and
hard pressed our pickets, Uut tho 3d
Georgia and some other troops arriving
on tho grouud. boldly dashed upon anti
charged the enemy, driving them from
their position fully ono milo, and with
oss.
It is said that in this irregular bush
fight wq lost sonio forty killed and
wounded, the enemy having not less
than 300 hors dc combat. The conduct
of our troops is said to have been bold
and spirited, advancing on tho enemy
with great coolness, and dealing de
struction among them with great ardor.
It may he that these continunl picket
encounters, increasing as they do, daily
in intensity, may precipitate an engage
ment. It is said, indeed, that no may
look for a severe encounter to-day. Tito
indications tire, however, tlmt it will, if
at all, only prove a partial mul not a
general and decisive ono. The conduct
of the Virginians and Georgians yester
day! is highly spoken of by tlioso who
were immediately upon tlio ground,
and had opportunity of witnessing it.—

‘'“It is known that Cumberland Gap
iscntifcly abandoned, and from the
best information I can get tho Clinch
met-will be the lino of defenc*.
~“No doubt our commander has’actod
with becoming prudeneo and foresight
in abandoning his old position and
making this river the location of pres
ent operations. ’IIo has lieyor yet suc
ceeded in drawing them out info Pow

stretches for miles ulong the base of
tho Cumberland Mountain, Wbenev-
thoy mako their nppen’runco in this

suddenly they would fall haok in the
gorges of this Mountain and make

ing them and catch thorn far enough
away from their dens to give them

“You and your readers may rest as
surod that Gen. Smith will do all ho
can to maintain his position in East
Tennessee, and that he is fully ulive to
he importance of holding it.
Many wero under the impression
that tlie wholo of east Tcnnesseo would

tho Yankees allowed undisputed con
trol c-f tliis section. Tho Tories be-
lieved it with all. their heart, lienee
they reported it, gave it currouoy, and

that our Tory friends may reBt easy for

“Skedaddle.”
Wo have received many inquiries as
to tlie meaning of tliis new vulgarism,
we have no lexicographic authorities to
which to refer, but “Skedaddle,” as we
understand it, is tv new Yankeeism. in
vented by them to express tlio differ
ence between a regular Bull Run Btura-
pede and panic, and a hasty retrpat, in
which the retiring forces are not quite
frightened out of their wits. To "ske
daddle,” in Yankee parlunce, is to get
out of hnrm’s way as soon as possible,
if not sooner—to “vamose," as tho
Mexicans say, or “absquatulate,” as
Davy Crockett used to express it, or us
they say in New Jersey and Pennsylva;
nia, to “cut dirt.” Skedaddling is only
practiced and well understood by tlio
Yankee army. Ji’he word maybe ex
pressive, but it is certainly not,elegant.

As an incident of skirmishing war*
fare worthy of recording, I may men’

ed Eiles, belonging to Co. C, of our reg
iment, yesterday went into the woods
alone to reconnoitre, and soon came in
sight ol a Yankee on a similar business.
The Yankee blazed away at him. the
bullet, piercing the butt of his musket,
and knocking it out of itis hand. Eiles
retrented without firing, and reported
ta Itis company what had happened.—
Being laughed at for retreating, he
spunked up and started again in search
of the Yankee. Going stealthily thro’
the biuhes, he came in sight of the
Yankeo again, and fired at him, just as
he was aiming to shoot in another
direction. The Yankee dropped, and
Eiles running up to him, found that ho
had shot him through the neck, the
ball and a buckshot having first passed
through the butt of his Minis niuskcc.
Tho man, though rnortully wounded,
could talk, anil said, “You d—d little

Richmond, Juno 20.—Tho Court of
Inquiry convened by order of the No,
vy Department, to investigate tho cause
ot the destruction of the iron-clad
steamer "Virginia, report that in the
opinion of the court tho destruction of
said steamerYvas unnecessary at the
time and place it was effected ; it be
ing in evidence that tho the Virginia,
with very little more, if any, lessening
of draft, could have been taken up to
Hog Island in James River, where the
"channel . is narow, and could there
hav-e prevented the larger vessels and
transports of the enemy from ascend
ing. Tlio court is of opinion that Buoh
a disposition should have been made
of her.
The finding of the Court of Inquiry
in tho case of .the destruction of tho
steamer Mississippi is, that tho destruc
tion wns necessary to prevent hot* from
falling into tho hands of the enemy.
