1 e Kedcrals were now resting comparatively
q ::rh ixciag, perhaps, a long breath before
-it . mg it on” again ; but they were not to
hav * it ail thoir own way, and we, in turn, be-
• the aggressors. Mahone’s brigade, witb,
i mink, two ethers, was ordered to move
nr and and attack Grant’s left; Generals Lee
<o, ; . Longstreet, lying on the ground near the
rl.t. roi l. quietly awaited the result.
The rapid firing quickly told us that the
“! v»~ were at them,and before long amount
ed c dicer rode np to announce the successful
mutet.oa of the movement. Grant’s left had
te on ranted and driven back on the centre,
and the plan now was to make a vigorous
sank while the iron was hot, and so finish the
work before us. The whole of our corps was
in readiness to move, and General Longstreet
and staff rode down tbe plank road, where a
Jenkins, gallant fellow, was beyond all earthly
as ustaoce, and it retrained for us but to grieve
for his loss. Longstreet was lying by a tree at
the side of tha road, the blood flowing with ter
rible rapidity from his neck. General Field, the
senior division commander, now assumed com
mand, and kneeling by our beloved General re
ceived a few wards of instrae ion. The General
grew rapidly weaker, but as consciousness grad
ually left him, he still could summon np energy
enough to say in deep and earnest tones : “Pre s
them on, General Field,-^press them on,'.sir!'* - A
lit’er was obtained, and General Longstreet "was
carried slowly to the rear, his ,bat concealed his
fealores, and the men anxiously asked who was
wounded ? '
It was known too soon, and to honor their
General, as they thought, for the last time, the
men gave a prolonged and enthusiastic cheer.
The General heard them ; he could not be deaf
to their voices, and it was a touching sight as
he 6lowly, faintly, raised his hat, showing! for
a moment, that well known face, now eo ghast
ly and pale. One incident particularly struck
me. When the General was hit, a private sol
dier took bis horse; he had monnted him, and
fully equipped with rifle, blanket and banteen,
was now riding behind the litter. One of our
couriers told him to dismount, and his reply
was characteristic : “No, Sir-ree! Look hvar,
man! General Longstreet gave me this hyar
horse to mind, and all hell can’t get him from
me without his say so.”
Nor shall I ever forget the sad expression of
General Lee’s face, when he, too, heard of our
disaster; nor his gentle, sympathizing voice,
as he said, “I hope, General, that you are not
seriously hurt.”
At the time that Longtreet was disabled, a
combined movement had been commenced
which the Federate could not then have well
withstood; but new plans and deliberations be
came necessary, and from ten minutes past 12,
the hour of the accident, nothing of importance
was done—no advantage was gained.

He Lad accompanied the flanking party,
tiing the hearts of Mahone’s brigade by an
iv. ...on of chivalrous gallantly, akin to
i. which they bad shown on many a bloody
£ u; and he now brought us the’most en-
. raging accounts of the position of affairs,
t ... Jenkins, a noble son of Sonth Carolina,
sn r. imiratle officer and courteous gentleman,
vs* ateo with us. and his Dice was lit up with
oy and confidence as he congratulated the “old
c ei.” It was now proposed to give three
c: ,'crs for Gen. Longstreet; and Jenkins, fear-
iest his men should appear to be behind
t:called out, “Why don’t you cheer, men!
win oon't you cheer!” The air fairly rang
v. :.-* lusty shouts; again and again the men

Healtbr State of morality.
The following chapter of crime, which we
find in a column of the Augusta Chronicle and
Sentinel of the 20th instant, will give some idea
of the state of morality at present existing in
our sister city of Augusta, and is in fine con
trast to the good order which now prevails in
he “ Forest City” : . , ■ '
Wuich is in tub Ascendant—Civil or
Banditti Law ?—This question was very forci
bly presented to our mind last evening, by the
outrageous lawlessness that swept like a torna
do through Bridge How.
Several soldiers, or persons similarly clad,
attempted to garrote and rob a party of freed-
men, who were on that street. The effort was
a bold, but unsuccessful one. Bold, because it
was just six o’clock; an hour when most of our
merchants and business men were going home
through the streets. And unsuccessful, because
of the resistance made by the negroes.
The robbers, finding force opposed to them,
fled, and were pursued by the negroes, clubs in
hand, breathing out threats and denunciations
in no very polite terms.
What was the fruit of the pursuit we know
not; but this we do know, that such scenes are
born of anarchy, and can claim no relation
ship to law and order.
he enactment of all such is highly discredit
able to our city, hitherto distinguished for .its
quietude and safety. Surely darkness and
crime have joined hands, and contempt for law
has almost became a component part of the
very air we breathe. The condition of affairs
is horrible beyond description. There must be
change wrought immediately. Scoundrels
and cut throats must be made to know that
their presence is intolerable. This fact can be
impressed upon their minds only by the most
summary proceedings and punishment.
For the sake of law, for the security of oar
citizens, we say hurry up the patroi guard.
To be efficient, it should be strong. Let every
icau-s-ro appears on the street at unseasonable
hours be required to give an account of himself.
Citizens will not object to this. Down with
anarchy, and let order be restored.
Caught in thb Act.—As Col. Day, on Mon
day, was entertaining a large crowd in front of
the sales room of Day, Russell A Benjamin—-
giving them their money’s worth in th# shape
of great bargains—one of the men present took
it into his head that he would get goods without
paying the low price at which they were selliog.
So laying violent hands on four undershirts be
started for Reynolds street, through a convenient
alley, at full speed. But M’jor Russell, who al
ways has an eye to business, observed the deed
and the direction taken by the perpetrator there
of. He at once gave chase and captured both the
thief and the goods. The man had on a Federal
uniform. The Major made him take off his coat
and leave it as seonrity for his future appear
ance. We do not think any further claim for
the garmant will be made. If there is, some
body will probably get into durance vile for steal
ing.
Stbaung from the Dead.—That man or
woman who steals from the healthy and the
living is regarded as lost to every principle of
honor and virtue; how much more deeply,
then, must they be sunk in the miring clay of
dishonesty who, in the presence of a corpse,
enter a house and take therefrom the trunk,
containing the wearing apparel of him who
lies before them wrapped in the embrace of
death!
So horrifying to virtuous minds is the mere
contemplation of such an act that people will
declare it almost incredible, yet we chronicle
the truth when we say that such a theft was
committed in our city last week.
Hzavt and Bold Operations.—We are
informed that some twenty bales of cotton were
stolen.from a storehouse across the canal on
Monday night- . ,
But the boldest 3Ct that has thus far been
perpetrated in tbe stealing line is this: On
Tuesday, daring dinner hoar, the back gate of
Evans & Sons’ warehouse was broken open,
and a bale of cotton removed therefrom.—
When a deed of this kind is done in broad day
light successfully, it shows that this city is in*
tested with burglars who understand well their
nefarious trade. . ,
Something should be done to put an end to
such transactions., . ,
Morb Warbhodse Robbing—The warehouse
of T. Metcalf, on Reynold street, was broken into
on Monday night, and robbed of about two-
thirds ot a bale of cotton. There was a watch
man on the premises, bat his slumbers were too
deep to be disturbed. . . W
We also learn that the warehouse of Mr.
Moore, in rear of Warren Block, was entered last
week and robbed of some cotton.
Morb Robbery.—We learn that "the smoke
house of Mr. Lewis Levy, on Bay street, was
broken open on Monday night, and stripped of.
its contents. It is supposed that the robbery
was committed by some person or persons ac
quainted with the premises. The rascals first
tried to break through the look, but not suc
ceeding, they forced the door open by means of
heavy bara. , -' j /
A Naw Game —A negro after paying for some
goods purchased at the store of Mrs. Moore, on
Saturday evening, waited nntil Mrs. M., was
dopositmg the money in the wallet, when he
grabbed the whole and left. There was about
one hundred dollars in all taken. Oar store
keepers mast be on tbe watch for new
tricks. Rascals are always busy eonoocting
ocbemes, . ( i t c / \ , , ;
Nerd Attxkding To.—The sidewalks in
ation, and sadly need' repairing. We respect
fully call the attention of those whose business
it is to see to this matter to the fact. It is to
be hoped that the necessary repairs will be
made at once. As matters now are the life and
limbs of the pedestrian are in danger.
Fire Sunday Night.—We understand the
light on the Sand Hills on Sunday night was
caused by the burning of the residence of John
Craig, Esq. We have not yet learned the’hF rom the N. Y.
amount of loss, or whether it was insured or
not. The firo was undoubtedly the work of an
incendiary.
Three Hundred Dollars Reward.—A.
H. Ketcbum offers three hundred dollars reward
for the information which will lead to the re
covery of the'goods taken from his store on tbe
night of December 11th, or one-third of the
value of them—just what the parties giving in
formation may choose.
Shot in the Act.—A negro, while engaged
in stealing cotton from a warehouse on Sunday,
got mare than he bargained for in the shape of
some cold lead. It is thought he will not re
cover.
A stabbing affray occurred on Broad street
on Monday night. We were unable, however,
to obtain the particulars.
Interesting Letter from Cordova,

November 16, 1865. )
JUv. John W- £ak*r, Augusta, (ia.:
Mr Dear Sir; I left Atiuntp about the 1st ot
October, fo* New York. Upon my arrival at
that place I met several persons who had recent
ly yeturnedfrom Brazil. They gave me such in
formation that I decided cot to cross the Equa
tor. 1 viBited Havana, where I found irieDds
who were just from this country, and from whom
I learned that Gen. Price, Gov. Harris, of Ten
nessee, and other Confederates, had received a
liberal grant from the Imperial government of
the country, and were settling on a colony Dear
this place. Consequently I came on here to join
my lortunes with other Confederates who had
preceded me
I arrived at Vera Crus on the 6th inst., and at
this place on ihe 11th. So far as I have seen, I
am perfectly delighted with this region ot coun
try, and! think that it is the most favored re
gion I have ever seen. Nature seems to have ex
hausted heraelt in making here a home for man.
We are here S5 miles from Veia Cruz, and 220
from Mexico, on the great national highway and
the Imperial Railroad, between these two cities.
The Plain on which Cordova is situated is on the
eastern slope of the great range of Cordilleres,
and is 3,000 leet above the sea. We have here a
most delightful and healthful climate. The alti

season, and never eolder than your May. All the

cabbage and Irish potatoes. The land is the
richest that I have ever seen—and with the rains
and sun with which the country te blessed, every

THE KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.
REBELS ON THE RAMPAGE.
NO HOPE FOR THE PASSAGE OF j
THE ABOLITION AMENDMENT.
Commercial Advertiser
of the 14th.]
Whatever hopes may have been enter
tained that the Kentucky Legislature
would pass the abolition amendment, they
are now. dispelled by the animus shcavn
in the State Senate. Thus in one day
(Monday,) bills were introduced to re
peal the law requiring the judges of elec
tions to be Union men, and to repeal the
expatriation law, which keeps rebels out
of the State.
A resolution favoring the restoration
of the writ of habeas corpus, and declar
ing that Kentucky has reserved rights
that she can defend, was referred to the
Committee on Federal Relations.
A resolution was adopted requesting
the Governor to inform the Senate as to
whether the Constitutional Amendment
was adopted or not.
A resolution in regard to amending the
law so as to admit negro testimony in
cases in which they were interested, was
rejected.
Mr. Benton offered a resolution di
recting the Committee on Revised Stat- 1
utes to inquire into the expediency of
repealing all laws in regard to slavery.
Considerable discussion was called up
during which Thomas B. Cochran, of
Shelby County, denounced Abraham Lin
coln and Andrerc Johnson as traitors,, as
great, if not greater than Jeff . Davis, for
overriding the Constitution.
In this one day’s proceedings, is a
specimen of the kind of legislation which
the Kentucky Senate proposes to in
dulge in. We should say that as between
it and some other legislative bodies si
ting urther South, the latter are de
cidedly the more patriotic of the two.
Prizes them Highly.
Mrs. S. A. Allen’s World Hair Restorer

Careful study and experience has made

giona.
The terms of colonization are very liberal.
The government sella to actual settlers, heads
of family, 640, sinule men 320 acres of this tine
land at one dollar ($1 00) per acre on a credit
of five years. The transportation of individu
als. farming implements, &c., from the port ot
sailing to the port of entry, and an allowance
for mileage from the port of entry to place ol
settlement is paid by the governmen*. These
lands of the Cordova Colony are the finest in
Mexico, having one beeu in a high state of cul
tivation, but from mismanagement became the
property of the Church, in the hands of which
they hive gradually gone to waste. The Im
perial government having confiscated the
Church property, now throws this laud open to
settlers. The lands in the bands ot individuals
immediately joining them, which are no better,
cannot be purchased for less than twenty-five
dollars per acre. Tha railroad running imme
diately through the settlement now being
made is finished from Vera Crnz to Paso del
Maeto, twenty miles distant, and will be in
one year finished to this place, giving us direct
communication with the gulf, and placing us
within four days of New Orleans, so that we
ciqi reach that city in the same time, and at a
less expense, than you can from northern or
middle Georgia. This will give ns a splendid
market for our products, which are coffee,
sugar, tobacco, and the fruits that grow wild
in great abnndance. Coffee is the principal
product now raised for exportation, the climate
being peculiarly adapted to its growth.
Political affairs here may bo regarded as set
tled. The liberal party has nothing like a re
spectable force any where in the land. The gov
ernment is very friendly disposed towards South
ern immigrants, and is giving them every facility
to find good homos. The Empress passed through
this plac3 a few days since, making a stop here
of two days. Gen. Price, Gov. Harris and others,
called upon her as she passed through. She was
very simply attired and vory unostentatious in all
her appointments.-
We want all those who want good homos in a
good eonntryjc oome out and join us. A few
years of hardships and inconveniences will
riohly rewarded in the end.

South and North.
\Ve notice that some Northern papers are
raking together, from all quarters, all state
ments and stories of wrong, injustice and bad
treatment to blacks in the Southern States.—
Of course they are able to make op quite a
formidable show of material, such as it is, and
are able, moreover, to make it appear that the
poor negro, since his emancipation, is in a
truly frightful condition. We have no doubt
that an equal amount of diligence upon tbe
same thing, if applied to the Northern States,
and aided by an equal amount of imagination
and malignity, would tend to make an equally
appalling exhibit of negro maltreatment in our
own section. If all the Northern newspapers
were searched daily for cases of assault upon
negroes by white men, for cases in which ne
groes were treated unjustly, or refused credit
or turned ont of house and home because of
their failure to pay rent, it would seem to out
siders as.if tb« white men of the North spent
the greater part of their time and muscular
energy in persecuting the black men and wo
men. .....
Such a coarse toward the Sonth is wicked in
itself and cruel to the negro, as well as bane
ful to the country in keeping np sectional ani
mosities. There are many wrongs and much
injustice practiced upon negroes in the South ;
find it is a sad fact that among onrselves and
tbp world, over, there are wrongs enough com
mitted by man upon man every day to make
the human race ashamed of itself. Bnt it is
at criminal to stigmatize the whole people of
the South as being responsible for and gloating
over the wrongs, as it would be to characterize
the Northern people in like manner because
similar wrongs are perpetrated in their midst.
