Dear Courier.—Some two weeks ago
our Colonel detailed six men.to go down
to the South IYdnt of Wliitmnrsb is.
land, to make salt for the uso of the
Regiment, a sample of which I send
you, that the oitizens of. the county may
see what kind of salt can bo made hero,
with but- little trouble or expenso. Tho
sample is not a fair ono of what can
be made, ns the party inhered under
grant disadvantages. In the first, place
they know nothing about tho business,
and Ira 1 only ono kettle to boil with,
and had no one to give them any insight
into it. Any one wishing any informa
tion upon tho Bubjeol, I will refer them
to Sergeant W. W. DarneRt who is now
at home. He was the officer in eliargo
of tho squad. Thero is wood conven
ient nnd water enough to make suit
enough to supply all demands. Last*
thought not least, it is one of tho most
pleasant places in Georgia, There is
nearly always a strong sea breese, which
makes it cool and pleasant, and full in
abundance.
There is no news of iutorest- here
to communicate. We occasionally re
ceive ardors to hold ourselves in readi
ness for a march, but it nil soon
dies away. Tl\oro is scarcely a dny but
what the bloakadors or tho forts re,
minds us of their whereabouts, and
that their powder is dry. Our Regi
ment lias been trying to got away from
here for a long lirno, but it sueras like
hero wo will have to stay. The mosqui
toes and sand fliss are very troublesome
so much so 'that wo can hardly sleep
for them. Thero is over half of the
men on the siulc list, yet deaths are
comparatively few. There is thirty-
ono on the sick list in sur company.—
W. H, Smith is the only one that is
seriously ill—he is at the convalescent
camp at Springfield, with sixteen others.
William Morrow died on the Oth inst.
He was a good soldier—one who was
always at his pest, whon able to do
duty.
W. B. Toriiune. hits beon discharged
from the service, by reason of being
over 33 y< m s old. He lias taken rooms
ut the Gibson House for a few days.—
IIo lias been employed by quite a num
ber of applicants to sue emt thoir enses.
Lieut. Hooper is at the Pulaski llouso

The Yankee Kuiluvc nt Vicksburg.
A gentleman recently from Vickburg
informs us that Gen. Van-Dorn esti
mate the number of shot and’shell
thrown by enemy during the bom
barUmcnl, nt 300,000! Yet with this
stupendous expenditure of ammunition
nothing was accomplished save con
siderable dnmngo-to buildings in the
city, mnsy of which are perforated by
the iron missiles, and a very slight
destruction of human life.- The Yan
kees, it now uppanrs, did r.ot withdraw
thoir whole torcefrom opposite Vicks
burg on the into retirement.' They left
about six liunderd and fifty morn
strongly entroncliod in bomb proof
ditches, nnd under pl'dcr not to move
until tho Archangel sounds the last
great reveille for all tho nations of the
earth. Some are victims of fever and
some of tho Arkansns; but, . in pluin
words, they nil died.—Richmond Pis

Marlial Law in Atlanta.—Martial
law, to its full extent, has been proclaim
ed in Atlanta by Go.i. Bragg. Several
regulations arc adopted as to travellois.
No traveller can be ruooivod at any
tavern or private house without a pass,
and travellers are required to call on
the Provost- Marshal and have tlieir
passes vised by him. If this regulation
applies to travellers passing through
tho city, it may cause the loss of a day.
The Birth of tho Princess Clothilda’s
Son. .
From the Paris Constitutionnel wo
tinvo the following in relation to the
birth of the Princess Clothilda’s son:
The great event in Paris during the
week previous to the sailing of the
steamer, was tlt'g birth of the Princess
Clothilda's son—Victor Jerome Frede
ric. He was christened the same day
ho waB born, at eleven, and tho Empress,
and Princo Imperial called over nt two
and signed the act of birth, and at
night tho front of the Palais Royale
was lighted up, as wero also tho palaces
of St. Cloud and Mandon. Sinoo then
each morning the Moniteur has pub
lished a bulletin in relation te the
health of the Princess. At first we
-wero told that she slept well, and that
both she and the young Princo wero ns
well ns could bo expected; then that
she had commenced having a littlo
"milk fever;" then that she had decid
ed, like a true mother and really royal
maternal heart, to suckle the youug
Prince herself, and that he "had alrea
dy taken tho breast without difficulty
then that a slight inflammation had
induced tho attending physician to
mako an application of leeches; and
now finally that botii “mother and
child are doing well-" The Empress
Inis been in from St. Cloud threo times
during the week, and spent a couple of
hours each timo with tho now mother.
The Emperor certainly mount that the
newly born heir to the younger branch
of his dynasty should not have his im
portance detracted from by tho lack of
ceremony attendant upon his birth.
The following detailed arrangement of
what should bo done on the occasion,
will be read with interest by tho»o who
have been in tho hubit of looking upon
'he birth of a child as a common ore
ry dny affair. It is n trai station of
ihecereinoniul prescribed by the Em.
peror:
As soon as her imperial highness, the
Princess Marie Clothilda Napoleon,
shall feel the pains which announce a
speedy aocouchment, her lady of h'onor
will go to her.
From tho arrival of tho ladv of honor
sho will take the orders of his Imperial
Highness, the Prince Napoleon, and
will send to inform
The Emperor nnd Empress;
Her Imperial Highness tho Princess
Mnthilde, .and their Highnesses, tho
Princes and Princesses of the Imperial
family luiving rani, at court;
The Minister of State, the Keeper of
the seals, the Minister of Justice, the
President of the Council of State, the
Gland Master of Cerumonics, the ten
witnesses appointed by the Emperor,
Muresclial Count Vidliaut, Minister of
the Empress’s household, nndMnreschnl
Count d'Ornano, Governor of the Inva
tides, the Minister of the King of Italy,
and tho officers and ladies of the house

At the moment of feeling tho last

of the soals, and tho prescribed
witnesses will bo informed, and will en

ness.
Immediately upon the birth of the
infant, and after it shall have boon pre

imperial highnesses, the Prince and
Princess Napoleon, by its nurse, it will
bo presented to tho minister of sta'e
and tho keeper of the seals, who will
pass immediately into the adjoining
saloon, wlioro they will find tho Presi
dent of the Council of State; Ilsre
will be drawn up the process verbal of

The Battle of Mitchell’s Station.
From Liout. John H. Thomas, of
company C, of the Irish Battalion, sec
ond . brigade of Jackson's army, who
reached this city by the Central train
yesterday morning, we have received
some particulars of tho engdgemont at
Mitchell's Station, in Culpepper, on-
Saturday evening last.
On Friday o- etting, a portion of Gen.
Jackson's division, consisiing of the
1st, 2d gild- 3d Brigades, under the
command of Gen. Charles 8. Winder,
crossed tho Ruuidan rivor, a few miles
above the rnilMurl, and having advanc
ed ft mile into Culpepper county, on-
cauiped for tho night.
Early ou Saturday morning, tho en
eniy’s cavalry drove <n our pickets and
fired into our camp. Expecting an
immediate attack, our force was drawn
up in line of battle, but no uttuok bo
ing made, in several hours they were
ordered to march towards Culpepper
Court House, lu the meantime several
other of our brigados had crossed the
Rnpidnn.
Wnr men advanced by roads running
parallel to and the West side of tho
Orango mid Alexandria railroad.—
About four o'clock tho enemy’s artil
lery, posted near MitolieH’s station, six
miles distant from the Rapiduu, opeu
ed firo upon our advance guard; Our
bntteries having come up, a terrible
artillery fight, of two hours’ duration,
ensued. Early in this engagement Gen.
Winder wus struck by a fragment of
shell and killed. The effect of the
dentil of this biave officer lind, for u
moment, a most depressing efftet on
the whole division, which it required
the utmost efforts of the brigade, regi
mental and company officers lo coun
teract.
Between six nnd sown o’clock our
infantry were ordered forwnri^ and
(heengngement became general. With
unsurpassed bravery, our men, for near
ly an hour, fought against almost over
whelming numbers. We had but be
tween four and fivo thousand men
whilst tho enemy had at least fifteen
thousand. Still, our gallant troops
held thoir own, and in parts of tho
field even drove the enemy before them
at the point of the bayonet. The in
stances of individual and regimental
valor were innumerable. Officers who
participated in the fight, and who wero
in tiie sanguinary battles before Rich
mond, have since ssid that they never
before buw tho Yankees fight with such
obstinate desperation.
When the battle was at its fiercest,
Gen. Ransom brought reinforccments |
which turned the tide in our .favor,
After a brief show of further resistance,
tho enemy gave way at all points, and
retreated hurriedly. A portion of Gon
A. ?. Hilt's division, coming up as
the er.einy.gavo way, pursued him vigo
rously to within two 'miles of Culpep
per Court House.
It was confidently stated on the
streets yesterday that our troops hail
entered and still held Culpepper Court
House, but from the best information
we can obtain, wo are inclined to bi*-
liove that Gen. Hill, on arriving within
the short distance tpentipued of the
Court House, discovered that tho ene
my hail strong entrenchments with
heavy sivgo guns mounted ut that point,
and that he in consequenoo fell back
a mile or two to await reinforcements.
Our loss in this buttlo U estimated
at eight hundred killed and wounded.
Tho enemy’s loss is - thought to have
bBHri'.at least three rtimos as groat.—
