Gkxtlemen :--As a tribute to mode merit, permit me to record the hrillia conduct of Colonel John U Cooke, oft I 27th North Carolina Regiment, in t terrible battle of Sharpsburg. Col. C«ol was in command of his own Regime! the 37th N. C., and the 3d Arkansas, Walker’s Brigade. IIis command w exposed to a terrific fire of small arms, r. an enfilading file from a section of art lerv. The force opposed to him was ovi whelming, as to numbers ; but he gave t order to charge, and,' cutting his w through tlie enemy’s line, found himself the rear offour strong regiments. Jnsta' ly he wheeled his command and dashed the enemy, annihilating a New Yo regiment-—the 44th, I think -and scatt ing the others like chaff on the thresh? floor. In this dash he captured also 1 section of artillery. The quick eye Col. Cooke discovered a position which occupied, would enable him to hold check a greatly superior force. }Je insit lv occupied it, but his ammunition 1 been exhausted- in the unequal and p traeted struggle, yet he determined hold it. Gen. Longstreet dispatcher request to Col. Cooke to hold on ui relieved, if possible. Col. Cooke’s gall eighteen months have groaned beneath the conquerers yoke, lias been tried, and we have learned tnat when we may hold per manent possessiA of that State, there shall not be wanting men and arms to sus tain the cause of the South. Our army needed supplies which the re sources of the Gulf States could not fur nish. i hey would not be deemed very valuable at the North, but to the barefoot, ill-clad soldier of the South we effnnot es timate too liighl}- the result of this cam paign. And here, let us award that praise to those energetic men, not deemed a part of the lighting material of an army who, like McEirath, Tom Peters and oth ers, evinced a courage and fixedness of purpose iu forwarding immense wagon trains that Generals would have burned menfs all along the route.

Stuart in his late raid into Maryland and Pennsylvania Writing home to his father he thus speaks of the affair. “On Fri day the 10th an order came from Gen. Stuart for our battalion to furnish 130 picked men, with 5 days ra-ions, to go on some expedition the na ture of which was not known. Thirty men, in cluding myself, were detailed from my company, Lieut. Mapp commanding. Capt. Nichols was sick at the time, and Lieut. Beecher was absent. Gen. Stuart with his little squad of 2,500 cav- a, ry marched through the \ankee lilies over into Maryland, thence to Chambersburg, Pa., cleaning out the Home Guards and Militia as he went. Our march through Maryland was a perfect ova tion, the ladies cheering us and giving ns refresh- am nut of ammunition, but I will hold t position as long as one man can stand liis legs.” He did hold it for four mor hours.” The cool and intrepid bearing of Co well as another of their class, Quarter master Gailor, who as a Volunteer Aid, fell mortally wounded on the bloody field of Perry ville. Our army lias done much, and better Virginia and Hunter in South Carolina; retort, than all this, is ready to do more. It has the fat Dutch farmers. The boys went at their work with a will, and in one single day captured 1 i00 of the finest horses I ever saw. Their own ers protested most strenuously against such pro ceeding, but our boys referred them to Pope iugthat stolen negroes were much more valuable than horses. At Coambeiabui^; we tu-ik $450,000 in specie besides arms, Commissary stores, cloth ing, boots &c.,* in the greatest abundance. I equipped myself with overcoat, boots, hut, Ac., and loaded myself down with revolvers to arm the company. From Chambersburg we swept been victorious whenever it has met th« enemy. It lias found itself able to cope with a Federal force four times greater than its own. It was victorious at Mttn fordsville and achieved a brilliant success at Richmond.

General Stuart is noted far his sagacity and cunning, on such raids, but this is the boldest dash he has ever made upon the Yankees. While in Pennsylvania he was surrounded by 15.01)0 Federal cavalry, but succeeded in slipping out of lines, or through tlie encampment of any brigade, and lie will hear but one single expression of regret, ‘-that we did not fight Buell in the vicinity of Munfordsville before lie reached Louisville.” The people may rest- assured that the country is safe while we have such soldiers and that we have Generals who deserve to the trap; and on his way back to the Potomac we be their leaders.* The campaign is not passed in 2 miles of 70.000 Federal#.

Toe reader has perhaps heard of the distress and starvation iu Cherokee, Ga., tor want of bread and meat, and yet, such a corn crop never was made as has blessed the labors of the husbandman the past Summer. If then the bad example of one or two leading men in Geor gia aid other Slates, had been imitated by the p.kilters generally, starvation would now be wide spread, and the army demoralized. But, not withstanding the abundance of corn made this year by the sagacity, patriotism and unselfish ness of good men, yet tho price of corn is ruling at 8! 50 iu many parts of the State, and will be or $3 next summer.

[ The British Steamer Anglia, Captain Newlands, which left Nassau on Monday, the 20th inst , for tiiis port with a valuable general cargo, was heard iiom yesterday, A boat wit i the pilot and five seamen belonging to her, arrived here on yester day alternoon They inform us that the Angiia had thick weather and a heavy sea most of the passage, and oh Thursday had*reached the lati tude of this city, none of the Y'aukee cruisers having been seen up to this time. On Friday the j Anglia was observed by a schooner, who reported | her to the blockading fleet, and on Friday night ! when tlie Anglia stood in for the land, a constant succession of brilliant lights were set off, which il luminated the neighborhood for a considerable distance. The rockets were so bright as to pre- _j vent the Anglia from standing in shore, and she : was reluctantly hauled off. On Sunday her fuel — having become exhausted, she was run into the nistrators, Executors, Gnardians, | harbor at Bull’s islaud, where she was placed &c. hard ashore. She had no passengers, and most of You have the right to order your legal notices the officers and crew prefer to remain and be ta- -r, ■ , „ 1 ken to New York. 103n 1 At the time the above boat left, the Yankees had not reached the Anglia, but were soon expect ed, as she was observed by a blockading bark on passing into the harbor. We are informed by this arrival that the Scotia was notin sight at Bull’s Bay on Sunday afternoon, and it is supposed that the Yankees have succeeded in getting her off. ancThave taken her away. A valuable letter bag which was on board the Anglia was destroyed. Mr. Zachrison, formerly of New Orleans, who came as a passenger by the steamer Anglia when she attempted to run the blockade some weeks back, and who was left on Folly Island with sev- ral other passengers, Ins turned up at New army in our rear. One of the Yankee farmers whose horse I took told me he was going to re port me to President Lincoln for pressing so many of his horses. I asked him if he knew who he was talking to—he replied yps: he supposed wa were Union soldiers, gathering up horses for the government. I quickly undeceived him by informing him that we were the same ragged, starving rebels that the^iorth had been abusing so long. One old woman ran out in the streets, and said,“Lordy?
