In the afternoon on that day the en emy’s batteries opened upon the citv, and by- dark had so demolished the houses on the liver bank as to deprive our skirm ishers of shelter—and under cover of his guns, he effected a lodgment in the town. The troops which Lad so gallantly held their position in the city, under the severe cannonade during the day\ resisting the advance of the enemy at every step, were withdrawn during the night* as were also those who, with equal tenacity, had main- | tained their post at the lowest bridge.— j l nder cover of darkness and of a dense ! fug, on the 12th, a large force passed the river and took position on the right lank,- protected bv their heavy guns on the left. T he morning of the 13th, the arrange ments for attack being completed, about. 9 o’clock—the movement veiled by a fog —he advanced boldly in large force against our light wing. Gen. Jackson’s corps occupied the right of our line, which rested on the railroad; Gen- Longstrcet’s the left, extending along the heights to the Rappahannock above Fredericksburg. Gen. Stuart with two brigades of cavalry, was posted in the extensive plain on our extreme right. As soon as the advancet of the enemy was discovered through the fog, Gen. Stuart, with his accustomed promptness, moved up a section of liis horse artillery, which opened with effect upon his flank aod drew upon the gallant Pelham a heavy fire, which he sustained unflinch ingly fir about two hours. In the meantime the enemy was fiercely encoun tered by General A. 1’. Hill’s division forming Gen Jackson’s right, and, after an obstinate combat, repulsed. During this attack, which was protracted and hotly contested, two of Gen. Hill’s brigades cn hack upon our second our ability to maintain our independence, T he | hut in the resources of the country to pay l! * the debt we are creating, and in the char acter and integrity’of the country to meet its engagements in good faith. These facts, then, should inspire the fullest con fidence among'ourselves in our fortunes, ou: currency and our character. YVe hops our obligations will, as heretofore, be kepi among ourselves, and our own credit among ourselves, win our independence.

Good Cora Saw. The Legislature of Alabama lias ta ken a very important tIIC passage of such a law as we have been advocating for Georgia, to stop specu lation in the necessaries oflife. Ir, has passed an act prohibiting, after thirty days trom its passage, the exportation of any corn front the State, or the sale of corn by any person except the pro ducer, the miller, or some one licensed by the Probate Court of the county. A miller may only sell such corn as he produces or receives for toll ; and a person licensed to sell corn is restrict ed to a profit of it) per cent. Tiie pen alty for selling without license is a fine not less than $-500 and imprison ment not less than six months. Though the act will not take effect foi thirty days, in the meantime, by another enactment, if any one sells any bacon, beef, pork, corn, meal, flour, salt,sugar, molasses, leather, shoes, hides, cloth, spun yarns, or any goods, wares or merchandize of any description, except drugs or medicines, for the purpose of trade or spculatiou, at a profit exceed ing 1-5 per cent., the excess of profit is to enure ter and be collected by the State. This we regard as the only practica ble measure for suppressing speculation and extortion that lias yet been adopt ed. Can we not have a law in Georgia, prohibiting the sale for speculation not only of corn, but of all the necesaries of life, except by a few licensed and 'restricted dealers? [Columbus Enquirer ‘'War Frazes.” Josh Billings takes a logikal vu of war frazes: ‘Wounded and killed!” Some eve reads the name to whom it is dear as life, and some heart is struck or broken with the blow made by that name among the list. Tiie Privilege of Making Salt in Florida.—The following resolution, introduced iu the Florida Legislature by J. M. Arnow, Esq,, editor of the Cotton States, Las passed both branches ot that body and is now a law: Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives ot the State VicknbHrg Bvadr Yc do not deem, it proper to speak much about our defenses here for the recep tion of abolitionists, but it may not be out of place to say that the works in the vi cinity of Vicksburg will prove impregna ble, and that no want of confidence is ex hibited even by the most timid. We nev er hat; such fine weather for a work of this kind. The enemy has already an nounced that they arc ready for the at tack, but only awaited a rise in the river. Their gunboat lleet is now approaching this city,and some ten or a dozen are within twelve or fifteen miles of this place, and their black 6moke can be distinctly seen from the city. The menacing proximity of these gunboats has only the effect of re doubling the energies of the authorities her for their reception. Tho people of Vicksburg feel but little concerned about how soon the enemy may come; the sooner they come the quicker they’ll be drove away; and tho longer they wait the more time we have to pre pale for them. But let them come when they will, we feel assured that wo are ready for them, and will give them a re ception as will not soon be forgotten. All that wo regret is, that the Confederacy has noVleen able to place every height and turn of the river in the same secure condition that Vicksburg is. Then in deed would their path be a dangerous road to travel.— T ickshnrg Citizen, 1:2th tust.

BrtCt use Pray First. A very intelligent little girl was pass ing quietly through the streets of a cor- tain town a short time since, when she came to a spot ■where several idle boys were amusing themselves in a very dan gerous practice of throwing stones. Xot observing the hoys, one of them, by*acci- dent, threw a stone toward her and struck her a cruel blow in the eye. She was carried home in great agony’. The surgeon was sent for, and a very painful operation was declared necessary. When the time came, and the surgeon had taken out his instruments, she lay in her father’s arms, and lie asked her if she ivas ready ? “No father, not yet,” she replied. “What do you M’ish us to u’ait for, my child ?” “I M’ant to kneel in your lap, and pray to Jesus first,” she answered. And then kneeling, she prayed a few minutes, and submitted to the operation M’ith patience worthy or a nu.wi.

Man goes to the battlefield, but woman Bends him there, even though her heartstrings trem ble M'hilo she gives the farewell kiss and the farewell blessing.

FORD. 39 4t' A Notable Marriage.—For some time a portion of the comm unity has been all ago|p with gossip concerning the past intimacy and probable future marriage at no distant day of a distinguished preacher, lawyer, preacher and military man, to a fascinating widow of this city. On the 2SthofJuue last Col. IV. Hilliard had the misfortune to lose his former estimable consort. Du ring tbo iuterval from that tiino to this Gol. Hilliard has been engaged in com manding tho Legion from this State in. East Tennessee, and when occasionally at home he has preached and administered the sacriment to the methodist congrega tion in Montgomery. Recently it was an nounced that he had resigned his commis sion in the army, and had been admitted into the Georgia Conference, and would take pastoral charge of the St. John’s Methodist Church at Augusta. All this • M _ as not surprising to a community’ so well acquainted with Mr. Hilliard’s versatility of talents and grace and eloquence in the pulpit. When, however, it was announced on Thursday evening that the reverend minister had been secretly married to Mrs. Eliza Mays, on the. night of the 17th of August by the Rev. Dr. E. Baldwin of the 3Iethodist Church cf Montgomery, Mad ame Humor w as astounded and chagrined that she M as so far behind time. It ap pears that the parties had intended to make their nuptials public in a year from, that date, but in the mean time, matters had progressed so far that circumstances prevented the second marriage. Accord ingly as Mr. Hilliard was taking his de parture for augusta, on Thursday evening several persons were assembled at tho house of the former Mrs. Mays, to hear a written revelation of the mystery, which was solved, so far as the public have any' insight, substantially as we have stated the facts. Mr. Hilliard and lady’ left on the next train for Augusta.—Montgomery Ad re/ tiser. m H
