The words of the latter piece are by Mr. Thomas F. Walker, and the music by Mr. E Clarke Haley, well known, as a musician and composer, to the people of our city. Wo have not had an op portunity to hear the piece performed, but from the many e coraiutua bestowed upon it, we doubt not that Mr. Usley has fully sus tained bis previous enviable reputation.

SnAKPgUOOTIMa AT PsTBBshcBU—A Cahinb Kirinsi—A correspondent .of the Mobile He gisier claims that in the sbarpshOoting at Pe tettbarg our soldiers have tbe advantage. We use the English Enfield ; the Yankees the U. States Springfield rifle, which certainly is in comparison, an inferior gun. The adrantsge of position enables us to throw mortar shells with certainty Into the works of the enemy, and they rnuit suffer severely from them. Since th« lamented death of Gen Saunders, Col King, of the 40th Alabama, has been in command of that brigade. It is on the lines not far from the battery the Yankees blew upon the SOtb July. Between this brigade and tbs Yankees there is a curious. ‘Express’ which is kept constantly running. A Urge Newfoundland dog, belonging to the Yankees, hag trained to pass from one side to tb-t other, and to carry such articles as are for trade.- The Yankees send him home with coffee, handkerchiefs, paper, envelopes, and late Northern papers, and the Confederates return tobacco f exchange for these articles The dog seems to be equally reli tbie as the Southern Express C'-mpany, and by bis clev erness has furnished many a poor fellow with a much needed cup of coffee. The Charleston Courier, in an article on ''The Ministry of Angela," reminds tbo Abo* litionists of the fact that tbe first interces sion of angels in human affairs was to rebtika a fugitive slave and comraaud her to return to her mistress. The Courier should remember that this truth, aa well as the other Bible and« Tenses of slavery, have, hava never b*d any weight with tno higher law warty of tbe North; and that tbe "angel of the Lord” has never visital tbs abolitionists as yet, If we may judge from their conduct Fhould if do to, it would find them less easy of rebr.ko than Hager was. .Again, th« abolitionists would have "IBs angel of the Lord" say to linger, ‘ Flee from.the face of thy mlatreas, Marin,” instead of return "and submit thy self under her band!."—r.LyrnpA £ Coitftd.

Frrm the Columbia South Carolinian. FEDERAL OCTRAGEN IN VIRGINIA. A lady, well known.ln Colombia, residing in the neck of land lying betweaa the Rap pahannock and Potomac rivers, baa written a highly interesting letter to on. of her friends in this city, which chiefly describes the ope rations of the Yankee raidors during the month of dune in that section. We make the following extracts : Ob 1 my dear friend, I felt sure, sometimes during the first awful fire days of the last wo« k, I should go mad. Surely the reign of tenor could have been nothing to them; and now that they are over, oh I you cannot, can not tell w hat a feeling of great thankfulness we have to know that, when so many have have suffered, we hare still not only our lives nntl homes, but oar honor. Can you imagine the terrible calmness of despair that could make you sit down and wait to see if, indeed, that, too, was to he taki n from you. I thought it was hard to live.when the boys fell ; but to expet to live on through that, when I knew it was for os, too, that Cbarfey died, made it seem as though bis death ciune afresh to ns in our misery. I suppose you have seen through the papers our neck df land had been raided by negro and white troops, and that they had destroyed almost everything before them, insul'ing ladies in the basest man tier, shooting at old men, cutting up furni ture, burning hooks and farming utensils, carrying off clothing-of every kind, cattle, horses, everything before them. The very wealthiest of our people are living in perfect ly empty houses, without knowiog from one day to another, where the next meal is to come frftm, and utterly without clothing ex cept the one change on their backs. Not a servant—literally nothing. In many places the base attempts of the ne gro troops upoo the ladies, proved but too successful, while of;ener the poor wretched women, wLo seemed imbued with more than natural strength, broke from them, and spent days and nights in the woods ; in several in stances in their night clothes. Don’t think lam exaggerating things. I could mention names even, which I am sure you have often beard. Persons of the very best families havo suflVred everything the most fiendish bate could devise ; although the white troops ab stained from taking part in the worst ac'i, they never attemped to curb the blacks— rather encouraging them “tp drag down the spirit of these proud Southern women," as they called it. Four negro men attempted such a foul outrage on a lady, that she tried to throw herself out o! the window, prefer ring death to dishonor ; but just as she tbreyr up the window, while her negro women were endeavoring *o hold the wretches off, she heard her little children crying; she says, it flashed over her "tipt it was still a duty to try and live for them: Just then oneof the crea tures caught hold of her, but she broke away and ran for the stairs ; one of them, guarding the stairs, leveled his musket and threatened to fire if she cam* down ; but in her agony she sprang over the banisters and fled for life ; on the way to the woods, she caught her two Laldes up and ran on. When she re cbed her sister s house, about two miles distant, she fainted at the door; and though, only about twenty-five or sit years of age, her hair was blanched as white as cotton ; in the struggle, before she got awav, she was bruised black by strokes from musket barrels. In another instance, not two miles from us, a young girl almost just confined, was beset bv six of the villains; let your imagination picture the worst it can, and a lingering death for six days after tell, when God freed her from her misery and shame, and you have the story which I blush to write. Jfor are these solitary-instances * . * One thing I forgot to tell you in reference to the lady whose miraculous escape I have mentioned. Col Draper , of the Fifth Regu lars, searched her bouse in a very gentleman ly manner, bowed politely at the door, and promised her on his honor she should not be molested by any one else,since he had search ed her bouse and was perfectly satisfied. She then beard him when he said, waiving his hand to the negroes, "Now you can go in," and rode off. His command when be disban ded bis troops at Warsaw, was to "go. loose and do as you choose." A Home for the Homeless.— We learn that General Ira U. Foster, in beb'tll of tbe Slate of Georgia, and Mayor Collins. of this city, have gone on tbe Centra' railroad in quest ot a suit able locution for tbe destitute exiles of At lanta. We further learn that they purpose purchasing a tract of lan I on which to erect suitable tenements for those who have been rendered homelea* by the casualties ot wKr.— Sufficient ground will be purchased to allot to each house en nigh for gbrden and for other purposes. This is a commendable enterprise. It evinjea the true sp rit on the part ot Georgia in providing comfortable quarters for such of her citir.ens as have been driven from their homes, and who l\ave not (he meatu of pro viding f.Jr themselves. We trust no sense of false delicacy will d-ter these who are already in need from accepting the benefits of tbis munificent effer on tbe part of tbelr States. For such of those who may desire to become beneficiaries of tbis Institu tion, we are authorized to state that no im proper characters will be admitted-that the strictest order and morality will be observed, snd lhat every oegeasiry municipal measure to this end will be rigidly enforced. A home will thus be finished the needy, and every insane necessary to their happiness freely given them. The soldier In the service, whose wife and children have been driven from their bom-s, may be assured that they will be cared lor through this means. Imolemeors of industry, such as cotton cards, A<\, will be lurniahtd them, so that all who may feel disposed will find the means in their possession of earnlug a* livelihood. All honor and praise to the State for this be nevolent move ; and yet, under tbe circum stances, the people should feel that it Is noth ing more than their due, and accept it at tpe hands of tbe State as a temporary home, until they are privileged to return to their own.— Telegraph, and Confederate.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO TAKE BATTERY GILMER. .—.-A- LARGE NUMBER OF NEGRO TROOPS KILLED. GEN. HARDEE TO TAKE COM MAND AT CHARLESTON*. SPIRITS OF THE ARMY.' Richmond, Sept. 30.—An official dispatch to-night says an attempt was made this after noon to re.-take battery Harrison, which, though partially *ucce*sful, failed. Attillery firing preceding assault distinctly audible in all parts of the city. • Ktnby’s cavalry, who were on the nine mile road last night, w*-nt bark «arly this morning. An attempt was made to take Battery Gilmer yesterday. The Yankees put negro troops in front. A large number of them were killed. Gairri:«*, Sept. 30—General Hardee, at his own request, has been relieved of the com of bis 6 >rps in the Army of Tenng-see. He is to take command of the Department of Charleston. He left here this morning, ac companied by his staff, for bis new .field of operations. After spending several days in the army, President Davis went to Montgomery. He is expected to reach to-morrow morning on bis return.- Our army is in the finest spirits possible, and the country may expeot good news from it before the lapse of many days. The impression that Gen.* Forrest has su perceded Wheeler is ft mistake. Forrest.is operating on his own hook. Akfbctino Incident —An Atlanta corres pondent say*: "We have learned of a very touching and affectiag incident which occur red In’ this army on the battle field of the 23d of July, and which is worthy of being engraved in letters of gold as commemorating the magn inimity and true Christian spirit of the twu noble heroes concerned . Toe prepa rations for battle ware being made. A corps commaniter rode up to one of bis division fgenern]*, and findinjr some delay, and confu sion, reprimanded hmt with some severity. The tone and manner was calculated to wuond, and the two soon parted with feel ing* of evident bitterness towards each other. The corp'j commander felt, after the excite tnent of the moment was over, that be had probably spoken too harshjy to a brother officer, and as they were both about eutering the danger of the battlefield, he felt it to be a duty he not only owed himself, but a former friend, to Fender an apology. He therefore dispatched a staff officer after the battle had opened, through a storm of fire, to communi cate with him, and express bis regrets, and ask forgiveness. The division commander replied that ho had been deeply wounded by the language of his superior officer, bnt that the apology was satisfactory, an* he freely forgave. In a few roloutes after, • fatal bullet pierced the division commander, and his soul winged its flight to another world. How beantiful and touebing was this evi dence of mutual forgiveness, enacted by two distinguished soldiers, in the day of battle, and in tho hour of danger and death. The Climax of Chukltt.—The expulsion of the people of Atlanta trorn their homes -twen ty thousand men, women and children—is one of the even a which mark the extreme atrocity of tbis war. It is said that each a thing has not been done for two hundred years by my na tion. It is a recurrence to tbe barbarism ol the earlier ages, altogether inconsistent with the civil zition which the Yank-es profess but dn not praotice. Tbe suffering am >ng the homeless wanderers, robbed, too, as doubtless 3o*t of them have been, of their furniture, othing and money, must be intense. Winter is approaching, and no home, no clotliiog, no food, except such as they may receive from the charily of their fellow creatures who may not have been *d cruellv outraged as themselves. And this man Sherman, the perpetrator of this mous'.rouH crime agaiust humanity, belong*, as stated by a cotemporary, "to that nest of viper# which tbe South bad been unconsciously nour* iebing in its boSotn for eight years betore the commencement of tbis war. Wbeu it broke out be w-s President* ol a coll ge in Louis iana. enjoying a large salary, and protesting undying devotion to tbe South, to its institu tions, and to its people.
