Cien. Turner Ashby.
By a dispatch from S auoton, we hate the
continuation of the reported death of Colonel
Tur er Ashby, at the time of his death a
brigadier-gcnt-ral of cavalry, attached to
General Jackson’s army. *e are yet with-
ont the particulars of hie death, except that
he fell in a skirmish with the enemy near
Harrisonburg, on Friday last. Gen. Ashby
was one of the remarkaole men of this rev
olution. His exploits of dat ing and bravery
• iu me Valley are almost topical wait those
’ of Mariuu aud Morgan, ot the Revolution
; of I77d. At the commencement of the war
■ he beame the foader ot a small band of cav-
airy, c imposed mostly of the residents of
the counties invaded and ravaged—men who
were driven from their estates. They equip-
tn vou got the red K please renew ycur i ped themseires wuh the best horses and pri-

* each other until the foe should be driven
• nt i t/> y .m ^ from their soil. -Ashby’s Cavalry” became
a household word in Yankee mouths. Was
a picket guard captured or a dash made into
' their camp, it was "Ashby.” Their letter-
1 writers described his person, his steed, and
his acts of daring, and they were numerous.
He was in jre than once cut off, his horse shot
from under him, and himself narrowly es
caping. Ills seif-posaessiua and courage
! never torsook huu, and to these qualities
he confessed to have owed his preservation
on several occasions.
Last winter, at Hath, his brother, Richard
Ashby, was overpowered iu a skirmish by a
dozen or more Yankees and killed, and Tur
ner received several wounds in endeavoring
to rescue him. It is said of him that bo then
swore to avenge with ins own hand bis broth
er's death by the lives of an hundred Van*
kees. He aocui fulfilled his oath before the
messenger of detltn came to him in the skir
mish ot Friday.
His fame grew to i e biicu within the past
few months that uis command swelled from
several hundred men to as many thousand,
and swift and telling were the blows he
struck lor the cause of Southern iudepeu
dence.
Turner Ashby was a native of Faquier
couuty, Virginia, and was about thirty eight
years of age. In personal appearance be
was not commanding, but rather email of
stature, wuh a long black beard, and Bmall
black ejes that were remarkable for their
piercing depths. He was the idol of the
people of the Valley, and mine could have
taileu who wnl be more regretted by them,
if we except the gallant leader of tnearmy,
Jackson.

UE 13 CALLED UPON AND MADE A WAR 8PEKCH
Meridian, Miss., June 10, 1802.
Editors bt'tning -Veter, Alolilt: The down
(rain arriviug here just before day this morn
ing brought uo less distinguished sons and
gallant ueteuders of our glorious cause, than
Gen. Sterling Price and John C. Breckin
ridge, Vice President of the tale United
States.
General Price made no stay with us, but
General Breckinridge, being to late for the
train passiug West, put up at the "Meridian
House'’ (Dr. Johnson’s). During the day
we learned that Col. Colbert’s regiment, form
ing here, would make a call on Gen. B. at
the •* Meridian House. ” Accordingly, on
seeing the soldiers marching in that direc
tion late in the afternoon, we a'so walked
that way, and found many of the ladies and
other citizen* of the town collected there,
but Gen. B., knowing nothing of (he move
ment, was fouud absent. In a few moments
he came in from a walk, and being informed
by a gentleman present that the assemblage
was in compliment to him, he appeared in
the front piazza, when repeated calls and
oheera from the citizous made it incumbent
on him to say something, as the assemblage
appeared determined to hear from him. Af
ter an introduction by the Adjutant McDon-
• J —
Gen. Breckinridge prefaced his rematks
by protesting against making a regular
speech—said be was not accustomed of late
to so d.dug, and deprecated such thing, that
this was the time for action, not speeches.
That no one need think there waB anything
to hope Irom the "Lincoln Government,”
that this struggle had proved to us that the
euemy neither respected age, female loveli
ness er infantile weakness, when in their
power, that our only hope was in our own
strong arms and a determination never to be
oonquered th-i history showed no nation of
people who resisted their oppressors with
boldness, determination and bravery, no
matter what the numerical superiority of the
invader, but what they finally succeeded
and eventually defeated them.
His own State had net acted well, but it
was an errer of judgment, not of heart.-—
She hoped to be kbl * to stay the fraticidal
had and aot as meu star, but before she was
aware it, was betrayed by some cf her own
sens.
The Mississippians he would say, without
disparaging the bravery cf the volunteers of
other States, that he had the honor of com
manding them at "Shiloh,” and that no
braver men fought there* that in one in
stance it was important a formidable battery
should be taken from the enemy; he told his
Mississippiaa soldiers so, and they at once
charged it with their bayonets, with r.ci, <» j
load of pcicder or "ball"’ tn tAeir poss rested-., j
and took it over all opposition.
Ha closed by pledging himself to our cause, I
as long as there was a foot of soil to defend, f
and any of her sons would rally in face
of the common enemy. He assured his
countrymen that when the sword was put
aside, (if ever) and Kentucky was left to
decide who sha would join, it would most
certainly be the South.
Time forbids farther description cf hi* re
marks, further than to say they were eUq*ent
in their inception and delivery, and were
listened to with profound attention by ladies,
soldiers and citizens, and elicited much ap
plause. At the close the ladies came for
ward and were introdoued to him, and each
one shuck him by the hand. This closed
this memorable occasion.

Td*> N. Y. Herald ot the llth says that the
Richmoud Dispctch gives a terrible record of
the loss of rebel officers at the battle of "Fair

sheer fabrication. #
Fremont telegraphed to Secretary Stanton
that he engaged Jackson’s entire foree on

and canister shot were used freely and with
groat effect by the fedorals. General Milroy
had cciuniaud of tho centre, Gen. Schonck of
the right wing, and Gen. Stahl of the left.—
Blenker’s, Bohler’s and 8teinbach’s brigades
composed the reserve—at least 30,000 men.

them to retreat."
The London Times ot May 23th says Lin
coln was right in describing this war as a
“ big job;’’ it is the biggest job of the kind
ever seen. No more 9J days business. Bat
tles aro known to be imminent whieh will
exceed in severity any others ever fought.
The Times says the proclamation of Butler
surpasses all that was ever told of tyranny
by a victory over the vanquished, and that
the state of slavery endured by the negroes
of New Orleans cannot be more absolute than
that now suffered by the whites of that city.
Riobrjrd, June 15.—Brig. General J. E. B.
Stuart, the dashing cavalry commander, has
made a circuit through the enemy’s lines
from Richmond via Hanover C H. and the
old church at Tunstalla, to James River, and
baak to the oity—arrriving this morning—
capturing 175 prisoners and 300 mules and
horses. He destroyed three large transports
on the Pamunkey River, laden with com
missary and ordnance stores for the enemy. {
SECOtfD DISPATCH.
The force with which Gen. Stuart accom
plished his brilliant reconnoisance, consisted
of the’lst and 9th Virginia cavalry, the Jeff
Davis legion, and the cavalry of Cobb’s legion,
with three piece’s o? Stuart’s artillery.
The expedition left Taylorsville, Hanover
county, Friday morning, and routed a squad
ron of Yankee cavalry at Old Church, cap
tured and burnt three federal transports at
Putney’s Mills, on the Pamunkey river, load*
ed with commissary and ordnance stores.—
They thence proceed to Tunstall’s, on tbe
York River railroad, and captured a number
of Y’ankees, and fired into and riddled a
train. The Engineer was killed and fell off
the engine after putting on a heavy head of
steam. The train dashed on towards the
Pamonkey river.
Near Talieysville they captured and burnt
100 wagons loaded with commissary 6tores;
and returned to Richmond thia ; morning,
bringing ICO prisoners, and 300 mules aad
horses.

the 10th contains Bank’s official report of
the march of the first Division, fifth corps
<Tarmee, from Slrasbarg to Williamsport the
24th and 2oth May. The report fills two
columns of small type in the Herald. Banks
says his command had not snffered in the at
tack and rout; that it accjmpliehed a pre*
meditated march of nearly 60 miles in the
face of the enemy, defeating his plans and
giving aim battle wherever found. He says
his loss was SS killed and 135 wounded, and
711 missing, and that all hia arms were sav

There is no account in the Hera’.d af the
8SC05D DISPATCH.
The Medical Director of Jackson’s army
reports, unofficially, in a letter from Port
Republio, that on Bunday the enemy left on
the field 1,000 dead and wounded; and on
Mon-lay 1,200 do., and 7Cu prisoners. The
Confederate less on Sunday waa 200 killed
and wounded, and on Monday 300 do.
Chattanooqa, June 14.—This place is still
threatened ; tbe enemy reported below Shell
Mound on the opposite side of the river at
Rankin’s Ferry—supposed to be Mitchell's
forces. A picket skirmish took place at that
point last night.
Col. Starnes’ 8J l'eun. Cavalry, which was
supposed to have been cut off, came in this
morning. They bad a skirmish with the

Distinguished Arrivals.
By the West-Point train last evening, Gen.
Prentiss, with some fifty odd offioers cap
tured at Shiloh, arrived here and are now
held at this place.
Twenty-four spies, tones, traitors, Ac.,
all iu strings, headed by the notorious Dave
Fry, also arrived here yesterday evening on
tbe State P*oad train. It is understood that
they have been tried by court martial, but
the sentence not made public. More hang
ing ii gravely hinted at by those who put
on knowing airs.
More Engine Stealing.
Three engines on tbe Memphis £ Ohio
Railroad were stolen about the 1st inst. by
engineers on the road, and run off northward
to the enemy’s lines. They were observed,
but their object not suspected till too late to
overtake them.
Tbe Hattie on Janies’ Island.
The letails of this battle show a serious
reverse to our arms. It shows something
worse—bad management in carrying out the
plans of the attack, and, perhaps, bad judg
ment in naking the attack, on our part, at
the time, and with the force brought into ac
tion Oie thing is plain—a gallant Georgia
regimen; was victimized by being thrown
against a vrstly superior foice, well en
trenched, and were compelled to bear alone

hours tgainst overwhelming odds, until tbeir
ammutiuon was exhausted. They theD, of
necessity, retreated, leaving their dead and

there is no prospect of their discontinuance.
Besides this, Atlanta, from its central posi

Itinerant Traders.
We call the attention of oar city authori
ties and the public to the fact that non-resi
dents are engaged in trading in oar streets
and about our hotels, who have no license to
do so, and have not paid the taxes required
by our laws
Ire t':u -tenon of as act to amend oar
city charter, passed by the Legislature tbe
12th December, 1869, reads as follows:
"Be it further enacted, that said Mayor
and Council shall have power to levy and col
lect from itinerant traders who may, direetlj
or indirectly, by themselves or others, sell
any goods, wates or merchandise in said city,
such tax as to them may seem proper.”
The tax ordinance of the city for 1860,
contains the following clause :
On each hundred dollars worth of wares,
defeat of Fremont and Shields by Jackson.
The departure of Lord Lyons for England merchandise, or other atocks, brought into
had produced a great sensation in Washing- the city and exposed for sale by transient and
ton. The Herald"s correspondent says he itinerant traders—stock to be returned on
goes upon the invitation of Seward to as- _ each by the owner or his agent to the Mar*
eume a place in the English Cabinet; and : anal—two dollars. See city ordnances o

Atlanta, Ga.
P. S.—I will state that our only obji ct for
wishing to sell is, that Capt. C. It. Hanleiter
is in the Army, and i9 determined to tight
the Yankees as long as the war lasts, and the
state of my health has been for the last four
months past and is now, such as to incapaci
tate me to attend to the arduous labor of su
perintending the large business of the office
w lti h is now thrown entirely upon me.
That the business pays well, no one will
doubt who will put himself to the trouble to
examine our Cash book and Ledger, which
I will exhibit to any one wishing to pur
chase.
