latter, sheltering themselves behind the
homes, drove back the working parties of
the enemy at the bridges opposite the city;
but at the lowest point of crossing, where
no shelter could be had our sharpshoot-
eis were themselves driven off, and the
completion of tla 1 ! bridges was effected
about noon on the 11 tb.
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withdrawn during the night* as were also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

of the enemy’s column extending beyond

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?

Tiie Privilege of Making Salt in

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.

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.

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
