Stafford. Within a few days cf the hat
tie we know that our burying parties bad
counted and interred over three thousand
dead Yankees. _ In tlie wide and scat
tered area of combat, it is a moderate run-
position that a thousand more had lift then
been discovered, besides tin*, great num
bers that weic cariicd to the, otHcr side
of the river by the enemy’s ambulances in
a dying condition. Thus we have certain
data for afiiiming the enemy’s actual loss
in killed, wounded and prisoners to have
been twenty four thousand men.
’To this must be added,the vast multi
tudes who ran entirely away, dispersed,
skulked, straggled off, deserted, &:
are altogether williin the limits of truth
when it is asserted, t.hat ti e army under
Hooker is weaker by fifty thousand men in
the ranks than oil the day he crossed the i
Rappalmnnock.
The Confederate loss in wounded was
six tbmjsand and some hundred. Putting
our killed at fifteen hundred, which is a
liberal allowance, we have nrioss of eight
thousand casualties. As to the four thou
sand prisoners which the Yankees say
tboy Law. tvciIo not believe in their ex
istence. Fifteen hundred men kkc not
mi?sing from our aimy after the battle ;
and the enemy’s ling of truce have not
returned nine hundred to Richmond —
The entire loss of the Confederate army
was therefore less than ten thousand.
The demoralization of the Federal
troops, and the effect of victory on the
Confederate array remains without cal
culation, because they are incalcuablc.

Cotton Sp
in Convention in the city of Atlanta, for
the purpose of taking into consideration
the Lett means of supplying the great
destitution in Cotton Yarns, now being
felt all over our State, the undersigned
duly assembled. After a deliberate ex
amination of all the facts laid before us,
i„ . the irreat scarcity of Cotton Yarus ;
the limited inc«.— ..( anldiers’ wives and
families; the probable continuance . t u.:.
unholy war; and the apparent suffering
that must continue to accrue to the fami
lies of our noble defenders on account of
the scarcity of Yarus ; and the almost im
possibility'" of' procuring cotton Car’
*wc have determined to act upon
dorscmcDt, In the eves of those sharp see
ing men, is of no value. The State credit
will closely approach that of the Confed
eracy.
At the close of the war, each State
will have a credit, if they remain as Geor
gia now stands, And then will lie the time
to use it. The existing condition of the
violence, ant
ting it is column from tlepl
ed from the valley. The firing contin
ued with increased fury until ten or
eleven o’clock, when the Yankees ap
parently became satisfied that any fur
ther advance, without a much larger
force, was not at all practicable, and
gradually fell back towards and near
the river.
In the engagement our troops beha
ved handsomely, repelling a force near
ly double their own ami indicting seri
ous injury upon the enemy. Our own
loss was not considerable, though some
of Early’s brigades suffered severely.
As soon as the enemy’s movements
opposite Early were ascertained,
Wright’s brigade of Georgians were
ordered up, from Massaponax Church,
seven miles distant to the support of
Early’s left. The brigade moved
promptly, and in an hour and a half
from the receipt of their order were in
i no, immediately to the left of Hamil
iles below the confluence with the
Rapidan, is tho United States Ford ;
from this ford, in a Southeruly direc
tion, runs the old Aline Road, which
crosses at a distance of five miles from
the river the plank road at the point
already described, ten miles above
Fredericksburg, and five miles below
Chancellorsville. One and aflalf miles
as has been reported in several of the
papers. He was standing by Stuart’s
artillery, giving the necessary orders,
when a fragment of shell struck him
upon the leg and thigh, horribly muti
lating his entire limb. It was now
night, and the action ceased. But to
return to Posey and the Yankees on
the plank road. As soon as Y\ right
began his furious attack upon the cne-
my’s right ilutdi. and rear, the Yankees
upon tlie plank and turnpike roads, in
Posey’s and Mahoue’s front, began to
give way, and by night hud been pres
sed back lo Chancellorsville, their line
of skirmishers and pickets being advan
ced down boili of the roads some eight
hundred or one thousand yards. After
dark Wright was ordered back to the
plank road at a point where the road
from the-furnace falls into the former.
Here the main body of our army slept
during Friday night. Early Saturday
morning, Jackson, with A. P. Hill’s
and Rhodes’ divisions, passed up the
left by the way of the iron-furnace,and
passing on, inclined to the North,struck
the plank road some where near Wil
derness'Church. Anderson’s division,
(except Wilcox’s brigade, left at Banks’
Ford,) occupied the centre ol our line
with Wright’s brigade, on the left of
the plank road. Mo hone, Posey and

Let us now return to the operations
of our army. During the day (Thurs
day) all was comparatively quiet in j 11118
front of Early, and it was even thought j Alltlcli;
that a portion of the enemy’s force had
reerossed the river. About the middle
of the afternoon, the enemy’s advance
line of skirmishers had advanced down
the turnpike, until, having fallen upon
Mahoue’s skirmishers, a brisk firing be
gan, which continued during the after- .
witi, little effect on either side,
the enemy being very reluctant; iu en
gage us in our strong position, and our
own force being too weak to make an
aggressive movement. ■
During the night of Thursday, Gen
eral Lee ordered Jackson, with A. P.
Hill’s and Rhodes’ (formerly D. H.
Hill’s) divisions to the support of Gen.
Anderson, where they arrived about
eight o’clock on Friday morning. This
left Earlv alone with his division on
ted with the left of MoLaw’s, who had
come up in tlie night, and was then
with his centre ou the turnpike road,
with his right extending across in the
direction o£ the United States Ford ;
and his left, as just stated, connecting
with Anderson’s right.
This left a long Interval between
son’s left and Jackson’s right,
which the enemy perceiving, was ena
bled to take advantage of, and about 2
P. M. threw down a strong column and
took possession of the iron furnace,thus
i cutting off onr connection with Jack-
son, and capturing several ambulances
and wagons belonging to Jackson’s
train, and, it is said, taking prisoners
nourly un entire Oarolinn regiment.
As soon as this movement of the enemy
was discovered by Gen. Anderson, he
despatched-Posey to meet the enemy,
and, if possible, retake the position at
the furnace. Posey’s advance soon
engaged the enemy, who, appearing in
overwhelming numbers, Gen. P. was
obliged to retire. Wright, with three
of his regiments, was ordered to Po
sey’s support, and soon the enemy gave

tlie complete \ictory which we gained

thus Saturday ni#bt closed upon us.
Nothing ui interest had occurred in

that tjwr indication showed the enemy
wei e disposed to abandon their position
in front of Early.

On our gallant army
ranks played upon by an incessant fire
of shell, grape and -canister from the
front, the right and the left. On our
gallant commander pressed through
the woods, over tlie fields, up the hills, .
unto the very mouths of the enemy’s
batteries, and up to the long li««of ri
fle-pits. YYitli a terrible shout they
sprang forw-ard, and rushing through
the abattis, they gained tlie bank iu
front of the rifle-pits, when the enemy
a-ve way in great confusion and fled.
T'rij-was on our extreme left, under
Jackson, aw] that portion of our cen
tre, where Wrigki. Posey and Perry
were engaged. The c^emy still held
their position on our rigltt, :i nd that
portion of our centre in front of Ma-
hone. Soon, however, McLaws press
ing them vigorously, they 1 gave way in
Ris front, and the centre outer line of
the enemy’s works were in our posses
sion. I shall not attempt to describe
this terrible and gallant charge of our
army. I will .merely say that I have
never during the whole war seen so
strong a position carried so quickly and
with so little loss. The charge of our
men was like a ble avalanche,
which bore everything away with it
without feeling the resistance. The
enemy had now couwentratecl a heavy
fire iu their inner works, close around
the house at Chancellorsville, and,with
their artillery commenced a furious
fire across the open field, and upon our
men, who having gained the north side
of their outer line of breast works were
completely exposed to this murderous
fire. There was some confusion in our
ranks, consequent upon the difficulty
experienced by our men in picking
their way through the fallen timber in
front of tlie enemy’s line ot rifle pits,
and some time elapsed before the differ
ent- brigades could be reformed. Du
ring this time the enemy kept tr mur
derous fire upon us, killing and woun-
ding a great many. Wright’s brigade
being on our right at this point, was
ordered by General Anderson to move
forward and dislodge the enemy from
his strong position around the house.
But one of his regiments having as yet
formed, (the 3d Georgia,) he ordered it
forward and, supported by Posey,swept
across the field and up to the trenches
around tlie house. Just as ‘Wright
commenced this last movement,a cloud
of smoke was seen to rise from the
house, and it then became apparent:
that the Vandals had fired it prepara-
tory to leaving. As Wright flew across
the" field the Yhnkees gave way and
fled, utterly routed, down the Ely’s
fouj road.
Just at this moment Stuart came up
on our left, (now in command of Jaqk-
sou’s corps,) and the whole field was
ours. At this point we captured a
great many prisoners, Anderson’s di
vision alone taking more than 2,500.
Wright continued to push the flying
Y’ankees down the Ely’s 1- ord road,
until his advance line of skirmishers be
came engaged with a lieavy body of
the enemy,posted in the woods on both
sides of the road, strongly supported by
artillerv. Here his skirmishers were
forced to fall back ; and then pushing
two companies further to the right, he
directed them to push through the
woods and endeavor to get into the
enemy’s rear. Very soon these two
companies (of the 3d Georgia,) became
engaged with a Yankee regiment, and,
after the exchange of a few rounds,
succeeded in capturing the entire re i-
inent with their Colonel,Bostick,Lieut.
Colonel Merwin, Major and Adjutant,
and about 700 men. This was the 27 th
Connecticut.
•The skirmishers were now halted,
and Gett. Txe coming upon the field,
ordered our army to form on the plank
road above Chancellorsville, extending
our line in a south-easterly direction
dowm the turnpike below Chancellors
ville, with our centre resting about the
latter point.
Just then we heard that during the
morning the enemy had, taking advan
tage of our very weak force, crossed at
Fredericksburg, and driving Barksdale,
with great loss, from the town, had
tidvamnid upon and taken possession of
Marye’s heights, capturing several
pieces of the Washington Artillery.
Gen. McLaws was ordered- to move
down at once to the support of Barks
dale and Wilcox; the latter being pres
sed back from his position at Bank’s
Ford, had fallen back as fur as Salem
Church, five miles above Fredericks
burg. Mowing rapidly, McLaws, with
Ins own division and Mahone s brigade,
of Anderson’s division, reached the
Church late in the afternoon, and ju^t
in time to save Wilcox, who was be
ing heavily pressed by an overwhelming
force.
For an hour or more the Yankees
pressed YIcLaws heavily ; his men w*ere
almost exhausted by the forced march
of over ten miles, and the constant
fighting of tbe entire morning around
Chancellorsville ; but, gallant fellows,
they bore themselves like veterans, as
they are,and soon the Yankees gave
way, when, springing forward with a
shout, they drove them back w ith
great slaughter. Indeed, this
have been the most sanguinary fight
of the week, judging from the number
of Yankees dead and wounded left upon
the field. Our owu loss at this point
was considerable, but McLaws contra-
