Q. Battle Field sEar Fredericksburg, Ya., ) May 6th, 1083. { " Mr. Editor: Please give this short com munication a place in tbo Daily Telegraph for the benefit of those who have friends ip the Governor’s Guard, Sd Ga. Regiment. We have been for five days and nights, loss or more, engaged in fighting, during which time our regiment and company havo suffered very severely, though" in the Governor’s" Guard none were killed; The following are the casu alties:* " * * "Wounded: Lieut Royal, In thigh severoly ; Sergt Roundtree, severely in arm and thigh ; Sergt" Wright,-badly in the head; Corpl Han-, cock and private Elijah Lowman, (I fear,) mortally; Geo Harvy, in leg slightly; H Thompson, badly m foot; "W P Thompson, slightly i t hand; Wm Gibson, slightly through the wrist; Kiels, slightly in the hand; Brax ton, gligjtfly in thigh; R W Rutherford, slightly in toe ; Sullivan, in foot; Sergt Finny, Blightly in hand; John McNiel, slightly; Randolpho Griffin, slightly. "Several others • very slightly wounded. I passed through the terrible contest' with out serious injury; was twice severely shocked and stunned by exploding shells, but .thank Heaven I have entirely recovered and now on duty at my post Goo Sneed, Jacob Slappy, W B Basset and alt others of the company not ’ 'named, arc so far safe, and every man nobly done his duty. The Yankees have again found this a hard road to travel. " J. W. Mattiif.-ws, Lt. Col. Com. Gov.’s Gunrd, 3d Ga. Reg. jggf" A correspondent of tbo Columbus Sun gives the fdlioiging items ol the battle of Chan- cellorsvillo: • After firing sufficiently to produco a decided effect on the Yankeo batteries. Gen. Stuart ordered “advance the artillery by sections from the right," which is simply charging with artillory. Gen. Lee had determined upon this at Fredericksburg, but-Gen. Buniside’s modes- • ty did not-allow him a chance to execute. Make a note of it, that hereafter our batteries charge as well as our infantry. Wo ran up close enough to throw, canister into thoir batteries, and Gen. Anderson on the south, - and Gen. McLaws on the southeast, pressing them very hard, the artillery on our side having driven the Yankeo batteries off on the United States Ford and plank roads to the northeast, had to cease firing to avoid killing our own'men. At one time Rhodes’ old brigs ade, not being supported, had to fall back, and the Yankees being driven back at tho same filho from Anderson’s front, the two brigades retreated right through each other, every man boiug compelled to take care ot himself as be wits subjected to a fire from friend and foe. One Ljoutenant of tho Clb Alabama had to run tho gauntlet through about fivo hundred of Sickles’ troops. * The residence of Chancellor was fired, I sup •pose, by" one of Our shells, and I hear- about one hundred" and fifty of the Yankee prison ers were burned in it The screams er the miserable wretches were distinctly heard by /our troops as they charged upou the fields, Macon, May 21st, 1363. Mb. ClJsbt : Please state that Company B. .Ma con Volunteers was reorganized on lost evening The next meeting will be held on Monday night next. All citizens able to bear arms, ara earnest ly requested to hand in their names for member ship by that"time. A. G. BUTTS, *.. ' Captain Vallandiqeam.—Alluding to tho deputation of Yatlandigbam, the Rebel says: Lincoln is a great ass. Burnside is a fool .They.arc the best friends Yallandigham has, He ought to thank them. They havo made l.im, if not'ebief magistrate of the land he lives in, at least tho most famous man of bis day.— He is now a part of history. Nothing can stop him. Not even Greeley and Seward, and the whole gang of lying preachers and government variety, can stop him aDy more than a hurri cane or waterfall. Loons" and knaves ali, who, like" moths that would put out the light of can’ dies, destroy, themselves. “When monkeys ralo,” says an old proverb, “let all men dance.’’ Monkeys now rule this Yankeo Bedlam, and all men are dancing the dance of death. Val- landigham is the liveliest one among them; and dead or alive, is bound to go down to his tory. lie is already booked and billed for posterity. THE NORTHWESTERN VIRGINIA RAID. The Rockingham Register publishes an ac count ol the recent visit oDGen. Jones’ com* m&nd to the Northwest, furnished by a Parti- zaa Ranger of Copt McNeill’s company, who took part in it.- We make some extracts, which shoty that in its material results this daring raid far surpassed the flight of Stone- man’s cavalry through the’ counties above Richmond: introductory exploits. The whole command swam the river at Morefleld, passed on to Greenland, storming, taking and burning that fort. The forces un der Gen. Jones divided at Greenland, General Jones and the larger part of the forces going to Rowlesburg, Tucker county, and the bal ance, under Oof. Harman (Oapt. KcNeill’s Yan kee “ train-takers ”, included,) going to Oak land. Our forces charged on Oakland, down tho turnpiko, and in rear of town, the charge down the pike being led by one of the guides, private Daily, a gallaqt boy attached to Capt. McNeill’s company. The charge in rear of town was led by Oapt. McNeill' in person. Your readers may well imagine the panic caus ed by this sudden and violent intrusion into tho quiet village of Oakland by these moun tain “dare-devils" "with “horns!" Tho good Union peoplo thought old Nick was amoDg them sure enough. The Union shriek - ers ran and hid; the Yankeo women scowled and shook their broom sticks and threatened vengeance. The "splendid bridge at Oakland was burned, and a train of cars, with engine attached, was sent into the river after the burn ing bridgo. A fine set of telegraphic instruments was “confiscated” and brought out from there by private Westmoreland, a patriotic Marylander, formerly a Captain in the Yankee service I From . Oakland we passed Cranberry Sum mit, where we had a sharp Are of ten minutes, which resulted in the capture of all the Home Guards at that place. One of McNeill’s men, McCarty, had his horse shot under him, the only damage we suffered. Oar men were bush whacked all the way through, without anybody being “ hurt” on our side. From Cranberry Summit we went to Kings- wood, which we took without resistance, get ting nothing here but a few good horses. ARRIVAL AT MORGANTOWN. From thence we moved to Morgantown, which I think is the meanest place in Virginia. Here we captured some horses, several Union dags, and destroyed about 100 stand of Yan kee arms. Private "Westmoreland here climbed to tho top of the steeplo on the C. H., tore down the Unton flag with the stars and stripes, and nailed fast the Confederate flag, which floated from that place fot the first time since the war commenced. The command encamped about seven miles from Morgantown that night with Major' Brown, of-the Md. Battalion, on picket, an attempt being made on ono of his posts by some Yankee bushwackers, whom he captured and “tfent up the.spout,” as they probably deserved. Private Westmoreland,“ in charge of three men, here captured two gentleman bushwaciters, who wero “ four- loughcd ” for ninety days, with the under standing that if old Harry gets them, there will be no questions asked. The command here-united with General Jones’ command and returned to Morgantown, when the-Abolitionists wero worse surprised than ever they had been when the Confederates first opened their eyes to the fact that “ the d—d rebels” were in the neighborhood. CAPTURE OP HILBOY’s “ SWEETHEART.” At Morgantown wo captured Gen. Milroy’s “ sweatheart,” (not his wife, for I behove be has a white woman who sustains that relation to him) a thick-lipped, long-heeled black wench, which that refined and polished gen tleman had “ seduced ” (not stolen) from Lt Welton, of Hardy, a member of Capt. McN’s company. LL >V. had himself tho pleasure to capture her ladyship, the General’s “ sweets heart,” and carried her back from New to “ Old Virginia.” So the poor privates in Mc< Neill’s company wero honored with permis sion to escort the gallant Gen. Milroy’s “ se cond choice ” to her old-home. VISIT TO FAIRMONT. They staid here all day, and bad a bard night’s march to Fairmont, Marion Co., twenty-seven or twentjieight miles distant,which place they reach ed about S o’clock in the morning.. The only really stout resistance encountered bn tho trip was here met with. We were skirmishing with the enemy aU day. The enemy brought a piece of artillery up on the train at three o’clock, which our sharpshooters made them carry back in double quick by steam. We took Fairmount, of course, capturing over two hundred Vo. Yankees, the meanest sort of Yankees. Our informant thinks that Fairmont is decidedly in a worse condition than Sodom and Gomorrah', as not oae good South ern man could be found in the place. We cap tured here all the arms and equipments of the en emy, comprising a good many ofguns,army stores, munitions of war, such as powder, lead, &c., Ac., burnt two bridges, one a "splendid structure, which cannot be replaced in less than two or three months, nor at a less cost than half a million dol lars. We then passed down through a little name unknown, which had suffered terriblj hands of the Abolition vandals, because the i itants had been loyal to Virginia and the South.— The burnthouses, fences,.Ac., made a sad scene of desolation generally.. FURTHER ADVENTURES. The command traveled ou the turnpike in the direction of |Clarksburg, and.was bashwhacked at intervals all day long. We left Clarksburg four miles to the right. The enemy’s mounted infantry here attacked us, when the dropping of calicoes, &c., “confiscated” by our boys, presented a ludicrous eight. We passrd on, attacked Bridgeport, and captured 47 prisoners. One fiond, in the shape of a man who bad been ta ken prisoner, shot his captor, a Marylander at tached to the Maryland battalion. He, of course, had to “go to the spout” at once, and without cere mony or the benefit of clergy. Wo captured, a train of cars at Bridgeport laden with bacon, oats and other Government stores which we “sent to to the rear” for the benefit of the Southern Con federacy. We here burnt three bridges; and were in the neighborhood of Imboden’s pickets. We marched from there to PhiUippij where wo left Gen. Jones’ command. ' We here took charge of cattle, horses, and pris oners, (including the notorious Capt. Snyder’s eon, an acknowledged spy, taken at Beverly.) He was a mere youth in years, but hardened villain, and an accomplished “spy," young as he was TUNNELING THE ALPS—A RAILROAD! DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT IN NEW YORK. OVER TEE SIMPLON. P0K “PEACE AND REUNION.” [Correspondence the Nrfw York World.] Two representative l of the Democratic party Turin, Italy, March 30th, 18 C3. The great engineering enterprise of tunnel ing the Alps has been some fivo years in pro gress, and the distance penetrated, including Uie operations on both sides, is only about one mile, leaving eleven more to be bored 1 But the calculations of Mr. Fell, the English en gineer who has had this Alpine work in charge, are that, although ho has accomplished But one mile in five years, he will be able by his improved machinery, to completo the remain ing distance of eleven miles in ten years. The engines are worked by compressed air, and there is no offensive smell or danger of Suffo cation. The two rows of iron pipes through which tho air is forced are seen for some dis tance by the road on the Savoy sido of the Alps. Another project-for crossing tho Alpa over the Simplon has just boon submitted to the Emperor of the French. M. Lohaitrie ex hibited a model last week in the Diana Gallery of the Tuilleries of his great project, showing all the grades and cuts and tunnels and gal- laries of the route. The whole lino of this railroad over the mountains from'Douro d’Os- sola, in Italy, to Brigucs, in tho Valais, was introduced to the Tuilleries reduced to a scale of two thousand feet. -The survey of this great work was commenced on the 1st of Au gust last, and completed on the 7th. About forty agents, divided into two brig ades, one turning to the north and the other to the south of the Alps, under "the leadership of two engineers, have during .the four months explored the mountain, and traced the plan of the future railway, which is to pass over rocks, cross torrents, fiil up tho valleys, gorges and precipices, before which science does not hesi tatc. The stimulus of having a great work to accomplish has alone sustained the picked men to whom the task was confided. They set up shelters and encampments in woods hitherto unexplored, carrying on their backs beds, clothing and provisions, ps they had often to live two or three leagues from any dwelling. Ic was frequently necessary to lower by ropes down tho precipices the men who had to pre pare the plans amid empty space, and the snow aid avalanches more than once threat ened to stop them summarily in their wotk.— The result has b'oen to put before jthe Emperor eighty kilometets of- iron way in the Holvetic Alps, forty-four of which will be covered over, twenty-three in tunnels and twenty ono in galleries." All these passages are ventilated either by shafts for the tunnels or lateral openings for the gal leries. These openings, cut at different points into arcades, have a startling appearance.— They are veritable promenades a thousand me tres above the sea, offering the same security as those of the Rue de Rivoli,which they resemble,but presenting a more picturesque and varid panorama. The execution of the plan, according to the au thors, would occupy less than five years. At tho end of this mouth the complete project of crossing the Alps by the Simplon will be officially submit ted to the governments of France,"Italy, and Swit zerland. 'The estimated cost of this great project including the fixed and rolling material, the inter est of the capital employed, etc., is seventy million francs. And thus, while the Skill and the capital of Ame rica are tasked and taxed to their utmost in the invention and use of implements and engines of human destruction, the science Rud the wealth of Europe are more wisely applied to promote pleas ant intercouse of the nations and tho general wel fare of mankind. THEY SHOULD BE HUNG. Wo learn that parties, and some from our city, havo been sent through some counties be. low this offering $10 per bushel for- wheab Now our bumble opinion is that any man Who will thus attempt to monopolize the wheat in the country by paying such prices or offer ing to do so, should be taken to the first limb of a good" stout black jack and hung by the neck until so .vile a miscreant and traitor is dead, and his carcass left, fof buzzards to de vour. •• • • ' . It is astonishing" that'men who havo already fattened on tho wants of the country, in many cases, slipping through the lines contrary to law and loyalty to the Confederacy, should be so greedy for further, gains. Such men are not to be trusted for a moment, and planters, a3 well as our own people, should kick them from their doors as they would a dog, when they attempt thus to run up prices for an arti cle of such general consumption. Beware of the speculators; we say beware. They would sell the country for a dollar.—Columbus Times. from each of the thirt r-two Senatorial districts of the State of New York have published a call for a “ mass State Convention for Peace and Reunion” — the meeting to beheld in Now York city 3d of Jut o. Tho following is an extract: “Assuming the AIministration desires to restore tho Union, it cannot be accomplished by mere brute force. Nor do we believe the past justifies a continuation of such a policy until peaceful reined ea have boen attempted and exhausted. As yet they have never been attempted. "Withou farther referring to the cause, the fact of our failure is thus far conced ed. " However great the resources that have been placed to the on dit of the Administration, and however self-sa rificing and patriotic the noble armies that ha -o been dissipated and de stroyed, inexorable b story has recorded failure after failure, as humiliating to our sectional pride and honor as it is destructive to all our great material interes ts.” . “In view of these results, after more than two years continued and unceasing military conflict; we are for taking one step on the road of peaceful effort Wo are now for a vigorous prosecution of peaco. And whilst we would submit to no nations dismemberment, and no terms not justified b’ every principle of honor, wo will go very far i i the spirit of .conciliation and concession to restore the Union as it was under tho Constituti.in as it is. We believe theso are the prevail ng sentiments of the mas ses. Wo know the public voice demands a change of measures and of men, and we are determined to have luch change as soon as.it can be effected by constitutional means.” refugeesT. Under the dgviiisl orders of General Banks, who is rapidly becoming a worthy successor of the Brute Butler, a large number of loyal Confederates in the city of New Orleans, known tf) the United States authorities as “ registered enemies,” have been ordered to leave their homes and have passed into the Confederate lines. The greater part, numbering, it is said, several thousand, .tave taken the route by Madisonville, intending to pass up the Jack- son road, not aware at'the time that Jackson was in Yankee h&ndi. Some families of them are at Pascagoula, where they aro detained for the want of conve^mce to get away. We learn that an ineffectual attempt was made by some of their Iriuifd i here to induce the pro prietors of livery stables to send carriages anfl wagons for this purpose. The General com manding has been applied to to dispatch some of the Government transportation to their as sistance, and we bclirvo it has been done. -Theseloyal poople,have been great sufferers in the. cause, and aro now rendered LomeleA by.their loyalty "ant- devotion. They are en titled to the warm and active sympathy ot our people. They wore hurried out of the city, and obliged to leave all their property behind, not even permitted fo sell their household goods Treatment or Confederate Prisoners.—Major Charlton H. Morgan, who has just returned from captivity at the North,having been taken from the enemy at Lexington and recently exchanged, con firms the brutal treatment of rebel prisoners at the North, as related by others and heretofore pub lished. He ou account of his fraternal relation to Gen. John H. Morgan, was subjected to special in dignities. At camp Chase the prisoners were stripped to the waist in the presence of women and children and robbed of their clothmg and money. In passing Philadelphia the prisoners were attacked by a mob, the boys throwing sand and stones at them and the women making the most indelicate and insulting demonstrations. At Fort Delaware, where they were confined for 8 short time, they were put in filthy pens and received two meals a day,the first consisting of crackers and the brackish water of the Delaware, which made half of them sick.. The second meal consisted of crackers and tainted meat, cooked with garlic to disguise its. putridity. On the way to Camp Chase the most insulting treatment received was from the East Tennessee renegade soldiery. ' Richmond Dispatch, PRESENT* TO BRIG. GEN. FORREST. On Saturday last, in the presence of a large as sembly of oar citizens, old and young, male and female, an elegant bay horse, of the best Virginia stock, purchased with the sum of 8800 by a number of our citizens, was presented to Brig.

Hanoock, (which wo find printed in the Baltimore American,) Goner&l Meagher has resigned his commisaiM, upon the uuonucoor m tbs uc.,',' - ground that his command is reduced, to a mere ! dawn. When it comes to ul with loved handful; and that hq cannot recruit liis brigade.

This fact, taken in connection with the late lecture of Rich ard O’Gormon, of which he spoke some days since, proves to us what we had believed before, that the Irish citizens of the Federal States aro entirely sick of the war. The statements lately made of large masses of Irish immigrants tempted over for the purpose of enlistment, must, therefore, have been immensely exaggerated. "We have suspected so; and now record the.agreeable news with much gratification, for three reasons: First, that the Irish were the best troops in the Yankee armies ; second, that a check has been put upon the cruel imposture put upon that credulous people, name ly : that to fight for the Union was to fight against the interests of Eugland; third, that our own faithful Irish citizens of the Confederacy, fighting in our armies, will no longer be stung by the bilter thought as they move into “no of battle—that in defence of tbeir home and their adopted States, they will no longer have to slaughter such multi tudes of their own misguided kindren. At the first battle of Fredericksburg, Meagher leil the desperate charges of his brigade upon Marye’s heights ; and the deluded Irish soldiery displayed a valor which did no discredit to their nation and thoir ancestry. But they havo enough of it. They begin to suspect that the repeal of ono Union in Europe is not likely to bo attained by forcing another Union in America.

New Regulations in New Orleans. A gentleman from New Orleans brings informa tion that Banks is establishing a much more severe order of things in that city. The regulations regarding negroes were being enforced with great stringency. All found in tho streets without a pass were being arrested and sent to work cn plantations at two dollars per month. Thelenst remonstrance on the part of a contraband was responded to by a bullet. The negroes are very much dis satisfied. They unanimously long for tho care of their old masters, sayihg "that they prefer being*worked as of old than being treated as they now are. In case of a U- itederate attack on the city the Fedcrals would receive no aid from them. The force in the city when our informant left was small—some three or four thousand.

DEMONSTRATION IN FRONT. Our neighbors across the river keep up wonder ful appearances, much after the style of a school boy whistling as he walks through a grave yard to keep up his spirits. Their bands are now brought near to town m front, but just behind the hills, and “Hail Columbia,” "Dixie” and "Yankeo Doodle” are played, “not by request." The enemy have also been busily engaged in strengthening their works hearing on the town, and have brought a number of field pieces to the Falmouth ford, so as to command the ford at that point. HOOKER’S WOUND. By the same channel through which comes the in formation as to the enemy’s loss, we have tho ad ditional news that Hooker was very much injured at Chanceilorsville. So much so that he has not left his headquarters since the fight, or rather had not up to Monday. — The Herald has an editorial on “ The general oanpaign—the splendid fighting qualities of our armies, and their cheering prospect*.” It says from Gen. Hooker's congratulatory (J) order to his army, we are assured that it retired from the Bouth side of the Rappahannock for reasons ’’ which could not be forseen or prevented by human sagacity,” and that “ profoundly loyal and conscious of its strength, the Army of the Potomao will give or decline battle whenever its interests or honor may deman d.’ Frqm all our other sources of in formation this testi mony of the splendid condition of this heroic army is confirmed. The general results of the late battle being greatly in its favor, it does not recognize a defeat; but, confident of its capabilities to crush the enemy in a general engagement, it is not only ready, but eager for another advance. . The Herald goes on to say the rebels will be oom polled to maintain a considerable stationary force at Richmond to gnard against a Yankee surprise. Yankee cavalry is to be increased and raids more numerous. ** Mayol Collart introduced Gen. Forrest to the multitude, and Col. J. J. Donegan made the presen tation speech, both expressing themselves in most appropriate and fueling terms. Gen. F. responded in a manuer that proved his ability to speak to the point, as well as tight. Rev- Dr. Kelly in-response to a call, made an elegant eulogy on Gen. Forrest, and an earnest appeal to all who conld bear arms, to take them up in defense of their country. This called out Geu. Forrest again. He core testi mony to Dr., onoe Lieut. CoL Kelly's gallantry, which, he said, entitled him to the rank of Briga dier, if his health should permit of his returning to the army, enforced Dr. Kelly’s appeal for more pa triotic defenders of our country, and concluded by asking the prayers of the ladies and all good citi zens, for God's blessing upon 'him, and our cause, without which all our efforts for independence would be vain.—Huntsville Confederate. Mrs. Gen. Bragg.—This lady is at present with the family, of the Hon. John Bragg, in Lowndes county of this State, and we are glad to bo informed is rapidly recovering from her late distressing and protracted illness. As she is cut offby the enemy from all means of com munication with her friends and relatives' in Louisiana, and as the report oi her death may have reached there, we publish this paragraph in the hope that they may chance to receive the gratifying intelligence of her convalescence. Confederate papers in the West will bo good enough to repeat it.—Mobile Register. —The Yankee War Department has ordered that no extracts from rebel papeis which contain news unfavorable to the Union cause shall be telegraphed from Washington.
