There wad Col. M. a mile in advance ol his
own an.l Col. Ashby’s regiments -with only
Day’s battalion, who.after receiving and return*
ing the lire of ihc parly in ambush, were order
ed to fall bank, which they did in iho very best
order. The party in ambush now came out
and pursued this battalion a Short distance, when
Col Morrison si 'Lie head ordered a charge.—
The gallant Day repeated the order, aiu],a wild
yell burst- forth, a cloud of dust rolled up. and
the battalion,went thntfdcring towards the Yan
kee squadrons who could not rtand tho impetu
osity til' the onset.-but rapidlyTelt back oil their
infantry and artillery. By this time the 1st
Georgia and Col. Ashby’s regiment came up.—
Col. Morrison at once saw the necessity ol in
tercepting the force after Col. Chenault .before it
could -reach Travtsville; where his train and
sick were just arrived. Accordingly dispatch
ing .Maj. Cobb (ivho was in' command ol Ash
by’s regiment).-to intercept and engage the parly
moving towards Tnivtavillc*. Col. M. intui
tively almost, selected a strong position, whete
hills on "each ' aide made into the little valley
through which runs the Albany road Across
the level space between these hills, Col. Mor
rison ordered ibis regiment to form, and every
man (o die before the path sboald be given'up
at the same time ordering Day's battalion to
take position 1 to the left of his regiment.' We
wero not in line Jong before tho enemy opened
on us with their battery. Ro'nnd shot whistled
over head, while shells hissed like vipers at our
feet. Nowand then.a shell would burst in air
above us, sendiug its fragments bailing and
shrieking among the files, tearing our clothes
and cuffing our horses considerably.- .One .man
and horse were knocked by a round shot clear
out of ranks, killing both instantly. The men
gave one quick, painful glance at their dead
comrade and closed in loTheJeft sail nothing
had happened. For thirty minutes the 1st
Georgia stood under this hailstorm of shot and
shell, neither man nor horse moving a muscle.
Major Sam Da vine riding si .uly in front of the
line, calmly and quietly reminding the men and
officers of their great responsibilities and duty
to their country. I do not think there, is an ino
stance parallel! in the history ol the war where
a regiment ol cavalry has s'ood the concentra
ted fire ol a battrry, well manned, at the abort
range of four hundred yards.
At tho expit ation of this time, the enemy
finding shelling to he of no avail, forwarded
a regiment of cavalry, supported by infantry,
toward our left flank, intending to charge
Bay’s battalion; bat ho poured » galling tiro
into theta, and just tlien CspL ilewnU turned
loose his fino Parrot guns, and ‘ shell after
shell burst among the blue and serried ranks
of the Yankee forces. Their line tvnvere, they
tujn, and now they scatter dll over tho valley,
each vicing with the other to gain the front of
the flying and confused non-s. Our battery
had by this time exhausted all of its ammn-
niti. c except five rounds for the gun that,
from some cause, came late into the action —
AVe had three guns in all, only two of which
were engaged. CoL M rrisoa saw that he
must ?oon withdraw, and now Beemed the most
propitious moment; so, placing efaaip-shoot-
er.» on each hill making into the valley, he
directed them to keep up a continual firing
until ho could get well on the Albany rood,
and thru bring ftp the rear, (CaL.Carter’s reg-
imrat being in reserve, and about four or five
miles in our re»r, came up just before we

Oil their route they helped them, rites to
horses and mules ; they also took a few watch

the Mobile Register, stales (hat Louisville wci
burned by the Fidcrala, and n citizen ol that
place, Dr Covington, hung. All a mistake;
they d>d not'tarry-there long^ chough to do ei

Ua their, l-outo through this county, they
told a man tjhcy must have his horses, that
they wero Van Dorn’s men, out impressing
horses for tavalry service. Tho gentleman
thought it wits all so, but wanted them to pay
him or give Shim a rcc-ipt for. them. They
told him to go to Jackson in three weeks, Van
Dorn would be there and ho would pay him.
They stopped our mail coach, took the hor
ses, demolished the coach, opened the mail
bag, and then presented tho mail driver with’
a handsome horse. Some of tho men robbed
a Masonic LAlgo, but the Colonel finding il
out, ordored (them lo fako back to the Lodge

While in OkJtctibeha county, a squad ol these

eented themselves as Confederates. The nbxt
dav returning Itliey rode up to the same house,
and asked lor something to eat. Bread and
milk was sent to them, which they ate while
Sitting on tlieig horses,' returned the glasses un
broken, (contrary to what has been stated.)—
They remarked to the family, they were “Con-
lederates yestekday, Federate to-day, and they
didn’t know what they’d be to-morrow.” The
herd of the family,” a worthy, man, was kept
a prisoner a few hours, then released. They
took his watch and horse and in return gave
him two'jaded horses and one V°one> sound
mule. They . took his saddle, hut ho told (hem
«er:~ >usly it was the only saddle he had. and
hoped they would not lake it, as he*would be
left bare-backed, and could not get- another. An
officer mado the men rcturn.it, much against
their will.'
Every man they took prisoner they released
very soon, .and" every one acknowledged they
treated them with respect and kindness. Only
one man was used roughly; he attempted to
ran, and received a cut on Ins head with a sabre.
They then gave him seven horses and ten ne
groes, by way of a plaster lor his wound, which
was slight. Pretty good plaster don’t you
think ! Bnt he sent the negroes off to find their
way back to their masters.
Several negroes volunteered to accompany the
Federals. and.aome they forced off, bnt invaria

idea of running away (o join the Federals. that

The Richmond Examiner of the 11th says:
During tbo battle, tho large brick tavern on
the Orange plank road, which, with ils out
houses, constituted Chancellors ville, and
which was occupied by the Yankees as a hos
pital, was accitleutally set on tiro by our shells,
and, with all its iumates, five or six hundred
in number, was consumed. . Among those who
lost their Uvea by this catastrophe, was Brig.
Gen. Seth Williams, of Maine, who was Adju
tant-Genera), first-to McClellan and after
wards to Burnside, add lastly, to Ho >ker, and
who is said to have been, betore the war, a
warm personal friend of Gen. Lee. Such was
the exigency, of the- hour, the battle being at
its fiercest, that none could be spared from the
ranks to save the poor wounded, wretches from
the most borrib.le of deaths—being roasted
alive. As the flames approached them, and
they became aware of their situation, their
frantic screams were distinctly heard above
the roar of battle that raged nround them.—
Subsequently to this, another conflagration,
even more appalling, occurred. The woods
on a portion of the bottle.field, where laid ia-
(ermingled the dead and wonnded of both ar
raies, took fire, and .many, whose pounds pre
vented their moving, were burnt to death. It
is said by some (hat Hooker had tho woods
fired to prevent onr pursuit of his shattered
divisions, bnt this story is too horrible to be
helieved even of a Yankee. For the erf dit of
human nature, we are unwilling to believe that
a General, even though a Yankee, would con
sign his own countrymen, who bad been dis
abled iu his ranks, to the most excruliating of
deaths.

Spirit of our Women.—Among tho pas
senger* on the train yesterday coming out
from Vicksburg, was a. woman, who from
her appearance, was undoubtedly famil
iar with poverty and acquainted with grief.
Accompaning her v as her soldier son, some
sixteen or seventeen years of ago, in some
what delicate health, who had obtained a
furlough at Vidksburg, and was on his way
home to spend a short season with his-motli-
er. *■ i
On their arrival at Edward’s depot, and
bearing that that point was threatened by
the enemy, the mother remarked to her
son that he had probably better return to
his regiment? that he might be cut oft from
bis command by going on with her, that a
critical juncture was upon us an i that, his
country now needed his services more than
ever. As happy aa she would be to share
his company at home tor a fev? weeks, she
told him she would prefer that lie should
remain at the post of duty until the present
crisis was passed over. He accordingly
got on the down train and returned to
Vicksburg.
IIjm1 the nren of onr Slate the courage,
patriotism and self-denial of this"widowed
mother, a Yankee conld not remain within
the’ limits of the State twenty.four hours.—

An Unpleasant Comparison.—The Mis-
sissippian draws a harsh contrast between
the recent conduct of the citizens of Geor
gia and tho e of Mississippi in encounters
ing their invaders, and adds:
Willour good friends allow us to tell them
ono of this very same Grierson’s feats ?—
The 7th Illinois cavalry, commanded by
Grierson, started iri pursuit of Si peices ol
fine brass artillery, which were misdirected
and without support after tho. battle of
Elkhorn. One hundred and twenty Mis
souri in fantry, after marching three days
and fasting and fighting thirty hours,
formed line of battle, received Gieireon’s,
charge, killed forty of his men at the first
fire, aud sent the rest reeling and plunging
back to Elkhorn, and they moved quietly
off to join General Price. The artillery was
saved. Grierson did not try it on any more.
Two hundred men with shot-guns and with
sand in their gizzards, taking advantage of
position, could have arrested Grierson,s
march, and saved U3 this humiliation, and
the disasters that may follow.
Whenever the Yankees commence
any demonstration against Vicksburg, Gen.
Pemberton immediately issues orders to
the telegrayh operators prohibiting the
send ing of news till the action is over. He
says that if it is .known when tho Yankees
are firing at the city, all the women and.
children in the; surrounding country will
