p_Y.” Putrick Henry m the first Resolution.
Our Special Correspondence from
Rome.
SHEEP vsbsos DoGS.
Rome, Ga , May -8, lSui.
Fully agreeing with you, Messrs Editors,
that-‘dogs are worthless creatures,” I have
concluded to gratify my dog hating and sheop-
loving South Carolina friend, by pitching into
the whole “ worthless” canine tribe. Taken
up one side and down t’oher, I consider them
the gepatest nuisauce (always excepting to
nes) we have in the Southern Confederacy,
There are in the Southorn States, at the low
est estimate, one and a half million ol dogs,
consuming annually more bread and meat,
taking into consideration the vast number of
sheep destroyad by them, than our active
army in the field. This is a startling thought,
yet, nevertheless, I believe it to be true to the
letter. A trifling, worthless, sheep-killing
cur will oat more in a day than a laboring
man, and I have known some men to go wstb
empty stomachs themselves, and give theii
children’s bread to their dogs, that they might
be kept sleek and lat, and bask in the sun
shine of dog felicity!
In this perilous emergency, cut off as we
are from the outside worid “ and the rest of
mankind," it is of the most essential impor
tance that our farmers should turn their at
tention to sheep raising. We must have wool
to protect our soldiers and their families from
“ winter’d surly blasts,” and to do this suc
cessfully, to the extent required by our urgent
and pressing necessities, the dogs must be
exterminated; sheep and dogs, like tire and
water, cannot commingle As certainly as
watm will extinguish tire, so certainly will
every animal of the dog or wolf species kill
sheep, no matter what his early training and
good bleeding may have been. The love of
mutton is one of the inborn instincts of all
dogs, *nd cannot be eradicated. As Governor
Blown has taken it upon himself to regulate
mattexs generally and specifically in Georgia
tur the public good, let him issue another
■ukase ordering every dog in the State, without
regard to genus, color, age or sex, to be killed
by their owners in thirty days from the pro
mulgation of the order, and if this is not done,
let every man in the State not only be author
ized, but earnestly entreated to kih every
thing in the shape of a dog that crosses his
path or comes within shooting distance of him
utter that time.” To the "victors belong the
spoils," and of course the skin of the dog
should belong to him who captures it. This
ui&y be thought a very small business, but
taken in the aggregate, the leather made
trom all the dog skins in the South, would
make hundreds of thousands of pairs of
shoes—an article not as plenttful just now ub
blackberries promise to be this summer! I
have not written this "chapter” against dogs,
Messrs. Editors, for the “ benefit of the world”
generally, but especially and exclusively for
the South. My philanthropy on the dog ques
tion is not so expansive as that of our Yan
kee brethren on the negro sensation. God
forbid that 1 should ever interfere with their
dogs, jackasses and other relations, and all I
usk cf them is to keep their blue noses and
uasal twaug ou their own side of MaBon and
Dixon’s WHAT NOT.

hominy, ou ths light _
ston’s army, the battle ww opened bet ween
niue and o’clock, A. M , on Saturday
by an attack iu force of Longstreel e arid
Hill’s divisions ou the enemy 8 position at
Bottom Bridge, near the lino of the R.ch-
niond and Vork River Railroad, fhe ene
my, in large force, had entrenched tneui--
selvea behind consecutive batteries, and
felled trees crosswise iu front ot them, so
as to render the approach of our troops the
more diflicult. Alter a musketry and can
non skirmish, during the continuance o.
which our brave troops withstood the lull
tire of the batteries, au.l a charge was or
dered and nobly made by Gen. Hill, the -J
Florida, 6th Virginia, and offi 8. Carolina
leading the charge up to the very muzz.es
of the guns under a terrible fire of grape,
cauister, round shot and shell, that cut them
down bv scores. Mounting over the first
battery, they took possession at the point
of the bayonet, the Tankers fleeing to tni;
next in position iu the rear, which, in turn,
opened its fire, and, in turn, was taken
large numbers of the Yankees being silled
and taken prisoners.
After an obstinate fight of tno hours the
enemy fell back, leaving 16 pieces of ariil
lery, composing three batteries in possession
ol our victorious troops. Our loss here was
heavy, including several officers ^be i an
tes loss was not ascertained, but it is sup--
posed to lm7e been equally heavy. The be
havior of tho troops was splendid. One
company of the North Carolina regiment
alone took 165 prisoners, and brought them
to the rear. The enemy's force was esti-
rdated ai fully 30,000, and reinforced con
stantly.
After the cessation of firing on our right
wing, the enemy attempted a demonstration,
across the Chickahominy, on our left wing,
north of the Mechanicsviile turnpike, and
on the Nine Mile road. He was here gal
lantly opposed by Qeu. G. W. Smiih’s divi
sion of infantry and Gen. Magruder’s artil
lery, including Gen. Whiting’s brigade of
the Cth North Carolina, llik and 2d Missis
sippi, and Acting Brigadier General Colonel
Wade Hampton’s command of the 16th N
Carolina and the 14th and 19th Georgia.
The Hampton Legion, supported by the
10th North Carolina and 19th Georgia, at
tempted to capture a battery from the ene
my, but, finding it Uo heavily supported,
fell back, but not until after receiving its
fire and giving their own in return, and
forcing the enemy to resume the defensive.
Our loss on tho left was not so heavy as' on
the right wing of the army but among the
killed we have to lament several gallant and
distinguished officers. On t he left wing fell
Gen. Pettigrew, of South Carolina, a name
that became illustrious in this revolution.—
He fell and died on the field. Gen. Hatton,
of the Tennessee brigade, was shot from his
horse and died in the arms of au aid. Col.
Hampton was wounded slightly in the foot,
but remained at his post. His horse was
shot twice.
The fighting extended gradually from the
left to the right again, about live o’clock,
and, and continued up to near eight o’clock
in the evening, when darkness put au end
to the conflict, our army resting ou their
arms in the positions from whence the ene
my had been forced.
The strength of the enemy is supposed to
have been very great on both wings, and his
loss proportionately heavy:
The sullen booming of artillery heard oc
casionally iu the city on Saturday morniug
had prepared the people for the tiding3 from
the field. About noon it became evident
that bloody work was doing aloug the liues.
The ambulances and surgeons iiad gone out,
and our citizens remained in a state of ani
ons suspense, but not alarm ; they knew too
well tho invincible army in whom they had
confided their trust. Boon persons iu vehi
cles and on horseback began to arrive from
the direction of the lines, and they were
eagerly surrounded by groups of citizens
and soldiers, to whom they detailed the
news. Their presence was marked every
where by attentive crowds of listeners.—
“We have repulsed the enemy'.’’passed
from lip to lip, and a cheering beam of sat
isfaction lit up every faee, saddened only by
the record of the gallant men who had fal
len ani were still falling in the fight.
Towards evening the wounded began to
come in from the several scenes of action,
and were carried to the hospitals, the hotels
and residences. Many appeared to be only
slightly wounded, barely sufficient to disable
them, and laughed and chatted with the
hundreds of sympathizers who gathered
around the ambulances. Others, whose
wounds were through the body, and more
serious, lay stretched uut, and some in the
agonies of death.
Throughout Saturday night they were he-
brought in, up to yesterday morning, and
all descriptions of vehiole3 were impressed
to carry them.
OF THS FIOHT

We have some addition:
To the Citizens of Atlanta and Fulton
County.
In consequence of the unceasing toils which
my present position requires at my hands,
not only through the entire day, hut oftento &
iate hour at night, which ia serioualy impair
ing my sight, and by which a troublesome
affection of my throat is aggravated, I design
retiring frvm tho office of Clerk of the City
Council.
1 am a candidate tor the office of Ordinary
ct Fulton county, and respectfulyl solicit the
support of my fellow-citizens of the city and
! accounts of (he
fight on our right wing The scene of the
battle was about eight miles out on theml-
liamsbuurg road.
The artillery on oar tiae opetiea &hout
ten minutes to one, P M , ana the cannon
ading continutd for tie :-pace of ona-hrdi or
three-quarters of an hour. After a heavy
fire of musketry, our troop3 charged upon
the enemy in their entrenchments with the
most devoted gallantry, repulsing him at the
point of the bayonet, and driving him back
until we had possession of his entire camp.
The enemy, being heavily reinforced, drove
us back for a little space, but could not re
cover his camp.
General Smart was in command of the
field, but General Hill was in immediate
command of that portion of it where the fight
was in progress.
After the Yankees Lad been driven fruin
theif camp, it was thought that they, were
retreating down the Chickahominy, when
Gen. Stuart deployed three regiments to in
tercept their retreat. It was found, how
ever, that the enemy was being heavily re
inforced, and the regiments were recalled.
About this time Gen Stuart sent Lieut.
Fontaine, who had attached himself to his
staff as aid to Gen. Hill, or such general
officer as he might find on the field, urging
him to hold his position, as reinforcements
were coming up. The assurance of reins
forcements gave fresh impetus to our men,
and the firing was continued with loud and
hearty cheers. After the fight had contin
ued for about an Lour, the ammunition of
some of the regiments gave out, and there
j was some wavering along our lines. Col.
; Lee, Lieut Fontaine, and Col. Moore, were
sent by Gen Stuart to see to the ammuni-
county. If you see proper to elect me, 1 shall
endeavor to discharge the duties of the office 1 L * oU lr Ma and to rally such of the regiments
faithfully and to the best of my ability.

V. ba, 1.6een thrown into disorder. The 24th
\irginia, 5th North Carolina, and some oth
er regiments, were reformed and led into
action by Col. Moore, and then put ia com
mand of Col Smith.
About half-past six o’clock Gen. Huger's di
vision caiuc upon the field in gallant style,
the men dashing on at the double quick with
loud cheers. The combat was now furious.
There was a continuous roll ot musketry, va
ried by the occasional booming of artillery.
The firing continued until about eight o’clock,
when the enemy were driven still further
back, and we remained in possession of their
camp, having captured a number of pieces
of their artillery. * * * *
The loss on both sides could not be other
wise than terrible. In the early part of the
action we had taken the enemy’s entrench
ments at the point of the bayonet, our col
umns suffering from the close volley of mus
ketry. In crossing the field to make the
charge, Col. Smith’s Virginia regiment was
badly cut up by tho snemy’s fire.
Up to half-past seven o’clock Saturday
night we bad taken about one hundred and
thirty prisoners. In addition to this we learn
that, late in the evening, an entire company
ol the enemy had thrown down their arms
and surrendered, themselves as prisanera.
Among the prisoners taken by us were a
Lioutennnt Colonel, a Major, and several other
commissioned officers.
Our forces engaged ou the right were Stu
art's, Hiii’a, Longstreet’s and Magruddr’s di
visions, the latter having come up during
the action. The prisoners taken by ua say
that the enemy had three divisions eneaged
on our right.

FIGHTING—ANOTHER SUCCESS FOR OCR ARMS.
Public expectation was on tiptoe yesterday
in anticipation of the renewal of the contest
for the hard fought field in front of Richmond
on Saturday, and events did not disappoint
in loe least. The scene of the fight was near
the Williamsburg road. About seven o’clock
A. M., the Ninth Virginia regiment, Lieut.
Col. Godwin, who had been ou their arms
unconsciously within fifty yards of th& enemy
the night previous, were ambuscaded by a
Yankee regiment, who rose up behind a dense
thicket, and, protected thereby, poured a de
structive nre into the uncovered column of
the Ninth, which, however, being speedily
supported, drove the enemy back and cap
tured several pieces oi artillery. The ground
wr.s ao miry and unfavorable for the uso of
artillery that but few pieces could be brought
into play, and the firing was principally by
musketry, which raged furiously from the
left to the centre of the lines. The brigades
engaged were Gen Holmes’and Griffith’s, ot
Smith’s division, including the Third Ala
bama, Col. Lomax, and the Twelfth and For
ty first Virginia regimen's.
The advance was gradually pushed until
between sue and two o’clock, P. M , when
our column broke the centre of the enemy,
aud he commenced sullenly retiring in the
direction of jthe Meadew Bridge and Wil
liamsburg roads, abandoning his camp, oc
cupied the previous night, and leaving in
our hands large quantities of small arms,
overcoats, knapsacks, Ac., which were se
cured, and carried to the rear. A 4, P. M ,
the firing had ceased, except occasional shots
at "long taw.” In the early part of the bat
tie, Lieut. CoJ. Godwin, who was in the ad
vance ol the Ninth Virginia, had his horse
shot from under him, and the animal in fall
ing fell upon him and seriously injured him
ia the breast and head. He was brought to
the American Hotel. Col. Lomax, ef the .‘Id
Alabama, was also killed in the action,
while gallantly leadiDg his regiment to the
charge in support of the Ninth Virginia.—
The Fourteenth Virginia aud First Virginia
also distinguished themselves in th * fight,
and took a considerable number of prison
ers both on Saturday and yesterday.
It was stated that the enemy fired on a
train on the York River railroad, carryiug
the Wounded to the city, and that no atteo
tion was paid to a flag of iruco that was sent
on tho field.
There was a report of tho Third Alabama
firing into the Twelfth Virginia, who return
ed tiie fire, and created somo confusion, hut
we are without confirmation _s m its relia
bility.
From the numbers engaged ou the side of
the enemy, it was ovident that he had mass
ed heavily during the night ou his left wing,
(our right). Tho enemy’s strength on both
wings on Saturday was estimated at OO.uOO,
and ours at between 20,(100 and .30,000, to op
pose thorn. Yesterday his strength was at
least 50,000, with heavy reserves, and our
army about the same. The enemy during
both day3 had the advantage of position aui
entrenchments, but lest them both. Our loss
iu the battle, or rather two battles, was not
less than 1,000 or 1,200. The enemy's loss
was as great, if not greater, besides several
hundred prisoners.
During the progress ot the light the line of
battle was penetrated by many of the citi
zens of Richmond charged with the duty of
bringing off" the wounded—civilians and oth
ers--who, in numerous instances, performed
feats of valor worthy of disciplined soldiers.
« ~ « * * * *
The success and progress of our arms yes
terday was eveu more decided and satisfac
tory than was Saturday, and our troops were
in the best possible spirits.
During the day the Yankee prisoners con
tinued to bo brought in iu squads of ten, fif
teen and twenties. They were certainly
premium specimens of the "Grand Union
Army,” for they were the most dejected look
ing human beings that were ever seen. Some
of them were covered with mud from head
to foot, and seemingly so worn out as to be
scarcely able to move through the street to
their prison. Many were mere boys, four
teen or fifteen years old, who must have
staggered under the weight of a musxet.—
Trophies of every kind, bundles of letters
and papers, were picked up ofl‘ the battle
field after its abandonment by the Yankees,
and brought to the city last evening.
The bodies of tho several prominent offi
cers slain in the engagements were brought
into Richmond yesterday. That of General
Hatton was taken to the Exchange Hotel,
where it will be embalmed and sent to his
native Stale. That of the lamented Petti
grew, of South Carolina, was also brought in
and taken in charge by the friends of the de
ceased.

INCIDENTS UT THE BATTLES
A Yankee Colonel was brought into the
MaishaFs office wounded and a prisoner.—
A person present remarked, “Your ‘on to
Richmond’ journey wasn’t a very pleasant
one for yon, was ill ” “ No, not until after
11 o’clock, A. M., (yesterday^, when I found
it pleasant enough, riding in all the way.”
We took about 600 prisoners.
A gentleman who was on the battle held
yesterday, among other trophies, picked up
the copybook of one division of tho enemy’s
army, containing copies of all the dispatch
es sent to the War Department at Washing
ton. According to the dispatches, they
were, up to within a few minutes of taking
their batteries, making the most successful
advances towards Richmo»d.
Editorial Correspondence of the Lychburg Hepublh an.
The Battle ot Chickahominy.
The first aot in the great drama which is
to decide the fate of the Confederate Capi
tol, was played on yesterday. It was as
certained on Friday that the euomy, num
bering 30,000 men, had crossed the Chicks-
hominy ou the Williamsburg road, and had
advanced to within six miles of this city.—
Johnston determined to aitack them early
Saturday morning, but the rain poured down
in such torrents the proceeding night that
our columns had to move very slowly, while
our artillery could scarcely move at all.—
The cqnBequenoe was that our advance,
■Which moved at daylight, did uot come up
to tha euemy, a distance of five miles, be
fore 1 o’clock, F. M. The engagement im
mediately commenced, Gen. Hill’s division
leading the attack iu a most gallant style.—
At 2 o’clock the infantry and artillery were
fully engaged along our entire centre and
fight,, and raged with fearful violence until
seven o’clock. We drove them first across
a wide field, theu through au exieuded wood
into another field, across which were two
strong lines of entrenchments. Here were
their camps and their stronghold, and they
fought for them with great deeperatiou. In
front they had lellsd a mass of thickly
grown timber and made a dense abatis,
which it was almost impossible for our men
io cross, and at the same time exposed our
liues io a taking nre from infantry and ar
tillery. The struggle here was fearful, but
our men rushed on with impetuous valor,
aud drove the enemy from their first line of
works ia great disorder, when their centre
fell back to their other line of defenses,
about half a mile distant, while their left
took shelter ia a danse wood a short distance
to the left of our right. Just at this moment
our Eleventh Virginia was led into action,
having double-quicked it for fully two miles.
Turning the abatis to the right they rushed
across the hold and passed the enemy's de-
serted breastworks, and protected for a mo
ment by a long pita of cut limber, formed a
partial line of battle, aud at once engaged
the enemy in the wood, not seventy-five
yards distant. Upon this spot, and iuat'ew
minutes, fell the gallant boys whose deaths
are now so sadly mourned by the people of
Lynchburg and the regiment to which they
belonged. Hare tell Meern, pierced through
the head, and Terry through the heart.—
Here fell Tyree, Elliott, Cross and Reid.—
Gallant boya I while the faces which knew
them shall kuow them no more forever, they
will longlive iu the memory of their friends.
On pushed our m^u, and in au hour the
enemy was driven from all his works and
from the field. They soon made a desperate
effort to regain their lo3t position, but they
were signally repulsed and driven to the
wood beyond. Thus closed the struggle on
our centrre uni right. About five o’clock
the euemy attempted to flank uo on the left,
but weree met by Gen. Whiting’s brigade,
and for three hours the struggle on that side
of the road was terrific beyond description.
Our mea steadily drove the enemy back, and
rfben night ciosed the scene of carnage we
were victors of the entire field, and slept in
the enemy’s tents.
1 have heard uo probable estimate of the
killed and wounded cu either side. Indeed
the nature of the ground over which the
battle was fought, and the momentarily ex
peeted renewal of the fight has rendered all
attempts to aproximate the casualities fruit
less. Lougstreet and Hill’s divisions did
most of the fighting, our reserves not hav
ing been called for until about the close of
the day.
Prisoners inform us thai a Gen. Casey
commanded on their side, McClellan having
gone a few days before to Washington to
"look after a man called Jackson !” who has
been playing thunder in the Valley.
Johnston, Lee, and President Davis came
on the field about three o’clock and remained
on it till night. Johnston was wounded
about seven o’clock, by a minnie ball iu the
muscles of the shoulder. The wound is se
vere, but it is hoped not dangerous. lie
retired from the field. Gen. Hatton, of Ten
nessee, was killed, which is the only chief
officer who fell on our side. Gen. Garland
was not wounded, as reported by telegraph.
* * We captured
some twelve pieces of artillery and about
three or four wounded prisoners.
The general results of the battle are con
sidered highly favorable to us, and the sol
diers and people are in high spirits. It was
fully anticipated that the slruggle would be
hotly renewed to-day, but expectation was
disappointed. About five o’clock this morn
ing the enemy attaoked us fiercely on the
left, but after a fight of two or three hours,
in which both sides suffered severely, we
drove them back, and the tight was net re
newed on either side.

Captain John H. Morgan.—This gentle
man, now so famous a9 a partizan warrior,
ia the son of Calvin Morgan, and was born

uncle, Samuel D. Morgan, who resides at
Nashville, Teun., fiia fathei and our inform
ant, a sister-in law of the latter, who resides
below Algiers, were then living in Hunts
ville. She describes him as a child of pe
culiarly bold and courageous traits. His
material grandfather was John Hunt, of
Lexington, Ky., whose name he bears. Cal
vin Morgan moved to Lexington when John
wae young, and this will account for a state
ment we see made by the Atlanta (Ga )
Commonwealth, that he was horn ia Lexing
ton. Hie paternal grand-father was Luther
Morgan, who, and his brothers and fore
fathers, were famous as Indian fighters.
His cousin, St. Clair Morgan, will be re
membered as oDe who went to Charleston
and threw himself into the most dangerous
positions as a soldier at the taking of Fort
Sumter, and who was afterwards danger
ously wounded in a desperate duel at Pen
sacola. Courage and fortitude are the peeu„
liar characteristics of the Morgana. The
whole family and its connections are earn

cause; but it might unnecessarily subject
some of them to persecution to go into par
ticulars.—Algiers Newsboy.
