deal to say, and a way of his own to mako

Wo venture that he has paid nteelsecnrity

The Arid brick that was ever made in At

The doctor haa done busmens in his own

He has always bought, and paid for snch as

or quick as possible, iffi charged os little as
he oould afford to; and in this way he has
^acenmnlated a fine estate, which he deserves

hope will be long after peace and prosperity
haa been restored to onr distracted land.

A Tnnkee Raid In the Valley.
Recently about five bundled Yankee sol'
dir-rs rushed suddenly and unexpectedly into
the town of Woodstock about 3 o’clock, P.
M , and took Mr. Charles Welch and others
.prisoners, to be beldas hostages for the noto
rious Smurr, who has been sent to the peni-
tontutry, but whom the Yankees maintained
had been executed by our forcej. Thoy re
mained hut about twenty minutes, and hur
ried away. The Buckingham Register says
that Mrs. Fontaio, a daughter of Mr. Welch,
went to Winchester to see Milroy, command
ing the J?ederitl forces at that plase, who told
her ho understood that Smurr had been exe
cuted, and he would hold her lather as a hos
tage, at the same time declaring it to be his
intention to arrest or seixe eleven other men,
prominent cilixcns of Woodstock, to be held
in liko manner, swearing that Smurr was a
eitixen employed by him to guide his com
mand through this Valley, and no spy, &o.,
with his usual brulishuess staling that
“Smurr was worth a doxon d—d robels of Jeff
Davis.”
This whole raid was characterised by abru
tality and fiendisbness unparalleled in the his
lory of the war in this valley. In ooming
through Cedar Creek valley, where a number
of frit-mis and neighbors had convened to bury
W. M. Bauscrman, deceased, (a member of
I Capt. Pierce's company) the Yankees suddenly
'ashed upon them, causing great alarm, when
any of those present endeavored to escape,
it were fired upon by the Yankees, although,
beyond a doubt, they were known to be citi-
xena, mortally wounding W. J. Connor, (Since
dead) and Moses Hammond, in4*gr seriously;
the laCter they carried off./ Thej alsocaptored
Lewis Orndoff, and aftePTie had surrendered
himself to their will, and ha i been conveyed
a considerable distance to the house of Mr. John
Orndoff, father of Lewis Orndoff, they ob
served that he wore a pair of blue pantaloons,
whereupon they called him “a dam bush-
whaoker,” and said that he anust be killed,
when one of them deliberately shot at him
with a pistol five limes, two of which shots
took effect, wounding him seriously.—Rich

“The Finest Army on the Planet.”
The New York Herald, (editorial) of the
20th April, contains the following:
How goes the war? What is the pros
pect? Do the combinations of the spring
campaign, as they are gradually unfolded,
give us satisfactorily assurances of great
victories and a glorious peace, or of another
summer of disappointments and disasters?
We answer that we have an abiding faith
that the days of the rebellion are numbered,
and that tbe end draws nigh. Gen. Hook
er, who commands the * finest army on the
planet, ’ is preparing for a forward move
ment nhich cannot be successfully resisted; for
his force will advance this time, not in
broken detachments, scattered over half
the State of Virginia, but en masse on the
road to Richmond. _
Gen. S. F. Paxton.
We deeply regret the death of Gen. Pax
ton, who commanded the old Stonewall
Brigade. It is a singular fact that every
commander of this brigade, except Jackson,
has lieen successively killed in battle.—
First Winder, at Cedar Run, then Stark at
Antieiam, and now Paxton at Chancellors-
ville. Gen. Paxton had served upon tbe
stair of ‘'Stonewall ” in the various victo
ries gained by that indomitable chieftain
and was afterwards appointed to the com
mand of the Stonewall Brigade. He ably
filled the position, and always led in the
thickest of the fight. He was a native of
Rockbridge county, Va, and a graduate of
tho Virginia Military Institute.—TFmcArj/irr

History of the l*atc Great Battles In Vir
ginia.
IIxADi,.p»BT*x’s Wric.ut.s Brioade, ■)
On tie Field Near Fredericksburg, j-
May Sib, 1808. j.,
Oa tbs 2d we soon Sotmed iu lino uf battle
and ordered-forward. Wright’s position was
on tho left of the plank road leading from
Fredericksburg to ChaurellorsvilU*, with his
right resting upon that road. ti :u. Jackson,
with A. P. Hill’s and Rhodes’ (formerly D. II.
Hill’s) division, were moved up at day light
by way of the Iron Furnaeo, around (lie right
Dank of the enemy, with the view of gejting
in his rear, an I between him and the river.—
MoLaw’e division, except Barktdale’s brigade,
was ordered up from Prcderieksburg wiili
■ustruclions to come, up the Turnpike road,
and extending across and to tho right of it, to
cover the riveii road leading -down from the
rear of Hooker's army to Fredericksburg.—
By looking at the sketch I seed you, it will bo
seen that we were aoout to get entirely around
them if Gen. Jackson’s and Lee's plan’s could
be executed. Jackson and Hill moved prompt
ly to their positions, and by the middle of the
afternoon had swung round to the right .flank
of tbe enemy, near the plank road above
ChoncellorsviHe, and commenced the action
there. The 3d Georgia was extended aa skir
pishers, covering tho entire front of Wright’s
irigade, which pushed forward,-driving the
enemy 1J miles into k** outer line <>f works.
Here our further progress was arrested by ur
order fiopi Gen. Anderson to move the brig
ade rapidly Xo the left «nd meet the enemy,
who were reported as having broken through
our lines at the Furnace and were then press
ing with a large force upon this and Posey’s
brigade. Moving rapidly to llic point indica
ted, about two miles to our left, we found the
enemy in considerable force had broken our'
connection, and were In possession of tho
range of hills lo the right and left of the Fur
nace, and were then pressing down on both'
sides of the Far naoe road te get in our rear.
Wright’s and Posey’s brigades met this dem
onstration, and by night had driven them
book. Meanwhile the enemy, having dircov
ered that Wright had moved hiesnppart from
the 3d Georgia, pressed heavily upon that reg
iment with a whole brigade, and just bafore
sunset the firing was very seveWbut tbe no
ble 8d held their position, and ultimately com
pelled the enemy to retire. When the,enemy
dashed down in the afternoon to, the Furnace,
they captured, it is said, nearly the whole oi
a North Crrolinaregiment, (Pender’s brigade,)
and several pf our amhulanoea, which had
been sept (o tho Furnace to bring off onr
wounded Of the fight of Ihe day before.—
There is a good deal of speculation «s to whose
tsuit it is that the enemy made thiefiankmovc-
ment, and at present I cannot say who is to
blame, though it is evident that a great blun
der was committed by somo one. -The result of
the da, ’s fighting was about this: In the cen
tre we held the enemy in check, and drove in
bis outer line 1} miles, tin onr right we held
the ground occupied in the morning aad on
the loft Jackson and Hill hud driven the ene
my for some distance, and with great slaugh
ter. Tho enemy were now doubled in and
around Cbnncellorsville, wRh our line extend
ing nearly around them, but they still held
tbe Ely' Ford and U. S. Ford roads, and by
which they might get off. Early Sunday
morning Gen. Lee rode aronnd the lines, see
ing and talking with all Ihe brigade com
manders and telling them that this day most
wind up Ihe fight. Orders were given to ad
vance the whole line, .Our brigade boro to the
left of the pinnk road, so as to enable Ocu.
Mahone to get between us and tho roai Po
sey was on our left, and Perry to his left.
Iu this order, at lij o’ clock, wo commenced
the advance—soon encountering the osemy’a
line of ekirmiah^ra^ ia- tl**-thick-woods; ~~We
drove them in, and fell upon his front xr cen
ter line, posted on a range of hills covered
with heavy timber and thick undergrowth.—
For a few minutes the firing was pretty warm,
but he soon gave way, and we continued to
pass on. At 7£ o’olook we came upon their
line of breastworks, protected by abat is of
fallen timber in front for about one hundred
yard9, and a sort oi chevaux de frieze of point
ed stakes and trash used in their breastworks.
Behind their works they were in groat farce,
and had heavy batterias to protect them., by
direct and flanking fires. Here we were sub
jected lo a most terrific fire of grape, osnister
and shrapnel, with a constant shower of mus-
kotry. This was for an hour one of tho. se
verest fights wo haveJiad. In moving ihrough
the woods our brigade had got ahead of Ma-
hone’s baignde, whieh left our right exposed
to a flank attack, and we were compeladi to
move very cautiously. About 11 o'olook,
Jaokson having pushed in the right of their
line, Posey’s, Perry’s and Wrigbt’a-I>r£kdes
charged over tbe breastworks in front’ and
drove them ont to their second line of trenches.
In this charge onr loss was pretty sevefh—so
was the loss of both the other brigades.- The
enemy now fell back to a short lino of rifle
pits near to and around ChoncellorsviHe, and
massing a large number of oannon in the forks
of the road, opened a fierce fire upon tie old
line of trenches in which we now lay. It soon
became apparent that to remain where we
were would be disastrous, and it was deter
mined that we should again charge those
heavy batteries that were thinning our ranks
so rapidly. One brigade alvanoed to the
charge and was driven baok. Another made
the effort, and retired in disorder—the enemy's
guns pouring a constant shower of shell, Wapo
and canister down the linn of trench** we
then occupied. For a moment fbe victory,
which we thought we had won, soemedoa if it
would be torn from as. Jast then Jackson
commenced thundering away on onr left with
a strong battery of long range guns, and our
brigade was ordered forward to renew the
charge—the 3d Georgia being the farthest in
advance, was thrown forward, 'supports! bv
the 2d, 22d, and 48th, all of winch bohaved
with great gallantry and coolness; rushing for
ward with a yell, we leaped the rifle pits? and
drove the Yankees, completely routed from
tho field. A large number of them’raised
white flags and surrendered wh le
the act of charging them. * W ® * Me m
The entire battle field was now onrs, and the
enemy, completely dtscomfiued and demobilized
was driven from all his enirench&enui isto the
thick woods in the direction of Elev’a .~i
U. 8-Ford, the roads to both whieh he mCnierl

some instances, by thousands. Our loss in
killed was very light, but we had quite 4 num
ber wounded, mostly very slightly. Our great
est loss was in the troiluding or Gcii. T. J.
Jackson, who suffered amputation of the arm at
•‘■c shoulder-joint, and A. P. Hill, who in said
bo very scndUsly wounded. CoL Slaughter,
the 51st'Georgia, was killed; Col. J. II.
Reforming our brigade after this last chatge and
sending forward a strong Roe of Bkirimshem
we were preparing to advance again wh*,
Lee rode up. and witnessingteh^ig^ondU
tton of our troops, concluded to res< ihem '-T few
minutes, util h* could hear the resnlt upon our
right and left—commanded by McLaws and
Jaeks m. In a tew minutes a pretty slurp fir
tng commenced with our skirmishers and
soon a whole Yankee regiment (the 27ih Coi.x

While victoiy was perching so gloriously
upon our banners at Chancollorsville, the ene
my made a dash across Ihe river at Freder
icksburg, and getting around Barksdale’s bri
gade, succeeded in capturing nearly tho whole
of t,wo of his regiments, and then, pushing
forward, soon took possession of Marye’s
Hill, (where We repulsed them so’ severely in
December.) This force of tho enemy was two
c jrpp, and a part of another, amounting to
about 25,000 or 30,000 men. Barkedale’s
force did not exceed 2,000, it so much. Gen
eral Early’s brigade was lower down the riv
er, and too far to render Barksdale any assis
tance until it was too late.
Early yesterday morning Gen Leo ordered
our division down Irom Chanoellorsville, to
assist,in attacking th© farce at that place. I
should have mentioned that as soon on Sun
day as wo had driven fbe enemy front Chnn-
cetlorsville, Geu. Loo bad ordered Gen Mc-
Laws’division here to support Barksdale, and

At about 5j o’clock, aB the troops being in

and our lino advanced. on. Early having
retaken Marye’e heights early in tbe morning
the enoipy were ovidenlly endeavoring to work
Up ike river road, to make a connection with
Hooker who was now penned up between

side of the Plank Road, and had driven him
FrpH^>4nbnh 0rtl * 81 u e l ® ome ,hre * “‘les above
Frcdenckeburg; but for night setting in so
soon we would have inevitably, captured this
whole army. The loss in Wright’s Brigado in
in this charge was pretfy heavy, as we had to
pasB under the concentrated fire of their heavy
bat tun eg. This ohargo of this brigade eHcit-
ed the highest Jiraiee fx»m GnUeral Lee, .who
witnessed the movemeat. Thank God, I pass
ed Ihrough entirely' unhurt, though i fion’t
think I have ever boea under so severe a, fire
since the war begun.
“ 80on M ^ “oon rose we pushed ok af-
ter the enemy. Who ran off in the direction of
Banks Ford* and followed him until he g»t iu
the pine tickets along the bank of the river,
whSnkkp tiowis ohsQOTfd tbofiun so that we
bad to.halt, though our batteries kept a .->ou-
stai^fere upon the ford all night. The enemy’s
lops is very severe—our own very slight. We
havo eaptured 20,000 or 30,000 arms, and a
great quantity of oommisary and quartermas
ter s stores, besides thousands of prisoners.
And now we are after them again, and I thank
if our men are not too much fatigued with tbe
sixth days fighting we have already had, that
General Lee will throw us across the river and
pursue the enemy to Washington. I hardly
Jh in r k ^ ?WCTe x that “ arn, y “a stand it, as
the fighting and marching of the last six days
and nights has nearly broken them d,, W n.
General Wright was struck on (he ri, r ht
knee, with a sohrapnel shot, on Smxday morn
ing, buj. it was merely a contusion, and has
given, hvm but little trouble. Hishorse was
'struck twice by fragments of shell. Major
ri°«K4 a i?i he J , ° 6 J! T Z in > waB *‘ruck in the
right elbow and suffered amputation of the
hi* br ‘* ad « haB during tha whole week’s
fight behaved weU and has elicited the highest
praise tn every engagement. There was never
wetter or braver body of troops on the
Hbidqtjartebs Weight’s Brigade 1
Camp Near Fredericksburg, May'7, 18C3.’ /
At last the great fight ia over—the Yankees
are terribly thrashed at all points, and the
small remnant left of fighting Joe’s shattered
army have elnnk baok to the north side of tho
Rappahannoak. On the 4th Gen. Lee ordered
pur division to move rapidly back to Chaucel-
lorsville, ten miles just below which placo on
the roadto U. S. Ford, th: Yankees had strong-
ly fortified themselves for a last, and, as we
thought, desperate struggle. Soon after we
eommeneed the maroh, we encountered one of
the heaviost yain storms I. ever experienced;
which continued dnring the entire maroh.
We reached Chanoellorsville after dark, and
fell upon th« soakdd4arar/ ddib]pletely ex-’
hansted by the forced march through the mud
and water, and saturated to the skin by the
incesaant rain. It would seem impossible that
men could under such circumstadces and
in our condition, but I assure you that, al
though the rain continued during the whole
njght, and we were without a single tent, all
slept soundly. As for myself, I have not slept
better since I returned to camp. Early next
(yesterday) morning we moved forward to at
tack the enemy in his fortifications on the
road from Chanoellorsville to U. S. Ford, and
aoont one and a half miles from the former
place. A P. Hill’s r.nd Rhodes’ divisions
(formerly D. H. Hill’s) moving by and across
the Ely FortLrpad, and our divisioir (Ander
son’s) moving by the main road to U S. Ford.
Gen. Lee intended that the two former- divi
sions should attack the enemy in flank and
rear, while onrs should rash on him in front.
Having throwu forward a strong body of skir
mishers, we commenced the mov< meat, my
brigade in advance. The enemy gave way be
fore our. line of skirmishers, and harried
across the river. Indeed, we ascertained from
the prisoners wo captured (hat Hooker com
menced throwing his troupe across the river
during the night,'and by lOo’clock A M , the
whole grand army of the fotoma . hod tkedad
illtd, except the thousands who fell by rebel
rifles aad artillery, and tbe many thousands
who were taken prisoners. And thus the eight
days fighting ended most gloriously for us.
although we i o noura the loss of many
accomplished oftn-ers and hundred;
and gallant men.
The enemy’s loss is very severe, both in the
casualties of ihe field amt prisoners captured.—
Their killed and wounded must amount to at least
fifteen or twenty thousand, ami we have captur
ed some ten thousand prisoners. Tt is impossi<
ble to form anything lilj^ a correct estimate ,d
their loss in munitions ol war, (juartertnaster
and commissary stores, etc., as we have only
begun to collect them up; but from wliat I have
seen in riding over the diHerem places of (lie
conflict, 1 am satisfied (hat iht-ir loss is eens.d-
erably greater than in the battles around Rich
mond. 1 have never seen anything like the de
struction of military property as I witnessed
around Chanoellorsville. Wo shall secure at
least twenty-five or thirty thousand stand of
•mail arms and an immense quantity of ammu
nition, besides a- number of fine field pieces'—
Our own loss is very slight; though I cannot say
ivoal the number is. The proportion is smaller
than in any battle of the war, and I am inforni-
ed by the surgens that tho character of the
wounds is slight. Many of those struck dnring
the hrst days fighting and reported wounded,
have already returned lo duty.
The enemy’s force at (Chanoellorsville . ia
thought to have been al least, seventy-five or
eighty thousand under the comriiand oft figh'iu »
Joe in person. The number which cjissedat
Fredericksburg, twenty.five or thirty thousand,
under Uen.|Sedgewick, and about twenty thous
and, which crossed on Tuesday night, and Wed
nesday l>e-lo\v Fredericksburg about fifteen »r
twenty thousand, making their whole force em
ployed about one hundred and twenty oe one
hundred and thirty thousand. Our whole torca
engaged dbl not exceed forty or tort y-fiy> thous
and. We did not have near so many men as at
the last battle here, as Longstrcet, with three
divisions of his corps, is absent In North Caro
lina. Under all the circumstances, our victory
must be ranked as the most glorious of the War.
I have no doubt that rnauy sage newspaper
critics and street cornet warriors will denounce
our Generals for not having captured Hooker and
his whole force—but wc sensible people will be
mote than satified with the results as they are.
We have inflicted a loss upon the enemy almost
if not equal toour entire force engaged ; wo have
repulsed him in one week in four regular pitched
battles, and have whipped and pressed him every
day white his thieving hordes remained where
we ceu'd get at him. We have dona more
matching, more fighting, and won more victories
in one week than was ever accomplished by any
army bo fore, and if the valiant soUlies and Gen-
reala al home are not satisfied with the results,
it is to be hoped that they will come and take
■onr place and leach us by example liotv much
more they can accomplish.

Tt> the People of Mississippi:
Recent events, familiar to yon all, impel me,
aa your.Chiof Magistrate, lo appeal to yonr
patriotism^ for united effort in expelling eur
enemies from tbe soil of Mississippi. It can
and must be done. Let no man capable of
bearing arms withhold frobt his Siato his ser
vices in repelling the invasion. Duty, inter
est, our common safely demand every sacri
fice necessary for the protection of our homes,
our honor, liberty itself.
Tho exulted position, won in her name upon
eucry battle-field where Mississippi’s sous
have unfurled her proud umtpr, and burled
defiance in the face of overwhelming num
bers, forbids that her honor, the chivalry of
her people, the glory of her daring deeds on
foreign fields should bo tarnished and her
streaming battle fltg dragged to tbe dust by
barbarian hordes on her owii foil.
Awake, then— arouio, Misaisdipjar.fi—young
and cld-^from your fertile plains, your beau
tiful towns and cities, your wtce-iuiet and
happy but now de&pqrated.homea,_co!..
join your brothers iu arms, your sous and
neighbors who are now baring their bosoms
to the storm of battle at your very doors and
in defense of all you hold dear.
Meet in every county with your -arme; or
gatiizs companies of not less than twenty,
(under the late act of Congress,) forward
your muster rolls to this office, and you wiH
bo received into the service with all the pro
tection and rights belonging to otlt. r eoldiers
in the field.
Ammunition will be furnished you, and
every aid in my power extended to you toi
your security and efficiency.
Fathers, brothers—Missiesippians ! while
your sons and kindred are bravery fighting
your battles on other fields and shedding new
lustre on your namo, the burning disgrace of
successful invasion of their homes, of Snsnlt
aad injury to Ihtir wives, mothers and sis
ters, of rapine and ruin, with Ood’s help and
by your assistance shall never be Written
whilo a Mississippian lives to feci in his
proud heart the corching degradation. |
Every moment’s inaction and delay but
s'.tenglhens your enemy and weakens your
brothers in arms. Let every man, then, make
it his business, laying ail eb;a aside, lo assist
iu organizing as many companies as can be
raised in eaoh county, and report immediate
ly to thi3 effioe for orders. By this oourso
you will enable our arms in a short time to re-
p. 1 tho ihvadera, secure the safety of your
horaos^aud shed imperishable honor to your
cause. You will not be without ’assistance —
Let no man forgo the proud distinction of be
ing one of his country’s defenders, or hereaf
ter w. ir the disgraceful badge of the dastard
ly trails!' who refused ta defend his home and
his country. JOHN J. PETTtbS,
Governor of 'Mississippi.
