In Line of Battle, near 1
Fredericksburg, Monday, Dec. 15. j
Dear Cooriei"—Yesterday hoa'
skirmishing was kept up opposite to
>ur lino, arid heavy cannonading at
several poirtt*. From ^o’clock till sun'
set a flag of truce was up, probably for
tho purpose of removing some of tho
dead, but its cause was not certainly
known in OUr Regiment, No general
engagement of infantry was heard of by
Friday morning our Brigado went
on picket, and remained till 9 o’clock
last night. Wo aro now book on the
bluff, about threo miles from the rlVcr.
The left of tbo Regiment extends near-
opposite to Dr. Reynolds’ residence,
and about six or eight hundred yards
to the rear of it. Wo are in the woodst
and have a very good rifle pit for pro
tection against infantry. In this vicin
ity there are said to be three lines of
buttle, one in front and the other in
our rear, but we can seo neither of the
others. After descending the bluff,
which is some hundred feet high, there
spread out before us a plain three
miles wide to the river, the surround
ing bills making it nearly semi-circular
in shape. A. F. Hill’s forces are below
this amphitheatre, and Cobb’s and R.
H. Anderson’s above. Our artillery is
planted thiek all around on these hill
tops. When our Brigade left picket
post last night, that post was vacated
except by 150 men left fas skirmishers
with instructors to fall back if the
enemy advanced, thereby to draw thorn
in under our artillery. This morning
our skirmishers left on pioket post un
der command of Major Magrudor were
relieved. They report all quiet during
the night.
The “old Eighth" was under a heavy
firo all day Saturday, but the only men
actually engaged were our skirmishers
thrown out some 200 yards in front of
tbe line. Theso skirmishers took sixty-
one prisoners, perhaps more correctly
speaking, that many Yankees were
driven into our line by an advance of
the 16th N.,C, Regiment, on our right,
together wit|i the advance of our skir
mishers. Our boys got a large number
of oil cloths, blankets, guns, accoutre-
{Bents, Ac., Ac.
The report that Serg’t Geo. L. Ay
cook was dead, was erroneous. I have
just seon a man right from him, who
says he is doing well, and the Surgeon
thinks him in a fair way to reco> er.—
His skull was fractured, and the Dootor
has removed some small pieces that
pressed upon the brain. Henry Garrett
died yesterday evening, and he and
James Boggs aro buried near Dr. Rey
nolds’ rotidonce. They wero both ex
cellent soldiers, brave and faithful, and
muoh beloved by their companions in
arms. The three above nnmod and one-
of the Atlanta Grays, C. W. Fraser,
and three of the Oglethorpe Riflos, ta
ken prisoners, ie all the loet as yot (Mon
day noon) suffered by our Regiment.
Gen. Pender’s Brigade of North Car
olina Troops, now joins us on the right.
The men have been furnished with spades
and axes, and aro now very busy im-
proving their breastworks. It has bcon
very quiet all tho morning, yot a gener
al engagement is expected to commence
every moment. The officers end men
are all in good spirits and confident Of
•uacoss whenever the tug of war comes.
It seems that tho Abolitionists will
soon be compelled to advance or re
treat, one or tho other. They are now
confined to tho river bottom land,
while we hold all tho surrounding
heights on 'this side of the river. Sev
eral ot their best batteries fire upon us
from the other side of the river.
Thero is very little wood this side ot
the river, within* thro lines, and, al
though the past three days havo boen
remarkably warm and pleasant, this
weather cannot be expected to contin
ue long at this season of the year.
U is now 12} o'clock and all quiet
as yet.

Cotton.—At tho market price of cot
ton to-day, says an exchange, our now
useless staple is of valqe enough to pay,
of itself, every dollar which tho Con fed-'
crate States owe. At this moment there
are 3,000,000 bales of cotton within the
country, which at the ruling prices. of
the staple now, is worth $700,000,000.
Since the tVorid began, no nation has
over had in its hands so much wealth
in a single article of production. The
consumption of cotton is increasing in
a ratio far foster than the increased
means of - its production, and this re
sults in a groat degree from the new
fabrics to which it U being applied, to
say nothin of the increase of the
world’s population, and tno now oiv-
ilizktions whioh immediately reqire its
use. Regarding these interesting facts
and statistics with reBpectto this annu
al store'of wealth, it is impossible to
suppose that tbe sum of debt which
this war will accumulate can ever be
unmanageable or fall 'with intolerable
weight upon our people.-Afoiik Register.
right, consequently I know nothing of
what is doing on tho upper end of the
line further than that they have success
fully mot tho onomy and repulsed them
at every point. Our Division, on Satur
day, was attacked by about 20,000, Fed
eral* and field pieces almost without
number, but, nothing daunted, our
bravo boys met them at every point
and drove thorn baok. Our Brigade
—Trimblo’s—Col. Hooka commanding,
was ordered to charge a brigado' of
Yankees who were concealed In a cut
on the railroad, and, with a shout that
made ths " welkin ting," the boys
charged and away went the Yankees,
and for more than half a mile tfio
ground was strewed with the dead and
dying. The charge continued until the
Yankees got under cover of their hat.
terics, and the grape and canister got too
hot. A retreat was then ordered, and in
coming off they captured about 300 of
the Vandals. General Hill pronounced
it the most gallant charge of the war-
Tho boys wero outrageous at being or
dered baok, as they say they had a po
sition they could have hold, but Gen;
Jackson knows too well what tado.and
never suffers his men to remain in nn
exposed position.
Saturday’s fight was one of the sever
est of the campaign, the shot and shell
flow in evory direction, and tho timber
in whioh our troops wore drawn up, is
literally shattered to pieces. Colonel
Hooper told'me that men never bo-
haved with more gallantry tliun did the
21st Georgia. They moved into the nc
tion with the firninoss of veterans, and
covered themselves with glory. They
have been in every fight during the
campaign, both in tho Valley und on
the Potomac and James River, except
the battles of Williamsburg and Seven
Fines. I might truly say of the 21st
Georgia that no regiment has done more
towards achieving our independence.
They have not remained stationary,
over five days since tho 15th of April,
your-renders can judge of the amount
of marching and fighting they have
done. They had two hundred men
killed and wounded before Richmond,
and about the same numbor at Manas
sas. We go into the present battle with
about 340 men, and men who are well
tried. Colonel Hooper shows himself
evory inch an officer, and the men will
follow him wherever he goes, lie lias
their confidence in every respect, and
dosorves it; lie is ns generous us bravo.
Cupt. Hamilton is second in command,
and shares with Colonel Hooper the
confidence and esteem of the regiment.
I might speak singly of tho officers and
men of the regiment, but their actions
and deeds of valor speak louder than
my feeble commendation.
Tho following is a list of the kilted
and wounded on .Saturday, the 13th:
