After we Lai passed over the Rapidan river the noble old “Stonewall 7 * passed us ; for the head of kis command. As Jackson passed, for the front, we ail knew that a Sghr was near at hand. After marching some six miles we fell in with i'ankee pickets, drove them in, killed three captured four None on our side in jured. Here we were camped for the night, while our cavalry could scout over the coun try, to try to find out the position of the enemy. At early dawn we were called up to prepare for the day's march ; aIT we marched oft, Gen. Early’s brigade In ad vance, the 12th Georgia in front We marched all day, without, iiew.-s from fne ene my, nor did we here of their whereabouts until the morning of the 9th, when we were drawn up in line of battle across the vast plains of Michell’s Station. In a few mo merits of bomb eatne whistling over, which we readily understood Some mile and a half oft the Yankee cavalr}’ could be seen drawn up in line, about a mile long No sooner had we discovered the blue coats thau one of our twelve pounders sent off a round shot to tell them that Jackson was near at hand. No reply was made and both armies went to work preparing for that great battle which must evidently soon com mence. The enemy made great prepara tions, and we remained in our line until three oeloek iu the afternoon. Our brigade was then ordered to move up under the immediate eye of Gen. Jackson to give them battle. On our side all was joyful; the boys were chatting about home and their sweethearts, ttc. We pressed on, passing over fences, through corn fields, ov< r ditches and rocks Soon we saw confusion in the A aukees ranks, for we looked too de- L-iunued for them. \\ hoii in about, three hundred yards of their lines Gen. Early ad vanced a few paces, fired his piece and fell back, which was enough for us, and without orders we “let drive” at them, which caused a grand skedaddle among the blue coats.— They fired but one gun and left as hard as IT.l T . S. horses could bear their cowardly ri ders off. We pressed on over the dead bo dies of the Yankee “braves the Thirteenth Viiginia regiment was ordered to move on the right flank, the Twelfth Georgia in the front, Jackson, Ewells and Early in the lead to cheer us on, to see if Pope was the man be was said to be. Their front was soon made their rear guard, for their horses were too hard to hold to see us any longer We pressed on tm about one mile, when, passing over a small bill, we soon discovered their batteries. We were ordered to halt and lay I down Soon their guns opened on us to j drive us back, but we were there, and never to leave until an opportunity was given to go forward Old Stonewall left us and dar ted off in a near wood. If it had been any one else we would have said —coward i—but no ) he is only gone to be heard from soon ! again. Our batteries were soon brought up | and opened on them. Bomb after bomb i came whistling over us, to which our artil lery replied admirably. The cannonading lasted forty-five minutes, while Jackson could see if he could not play* a better game for them During the cannonading several of our regiment (12th Georgia) were killed and wounded. \\ e lay there as if dead un til firing commenced on the left flank by Gen. A P Hill’s division, under command of Gen Jackson, who had flanked them and had nearly got. in their rear. We were or dered to charge them, which we gladly obey ed, and drove them off before under a heavy shower of rifle balls and under a cross fire of Hill’s command led by our Chief After they got their artillery away the cannona ding ceased and the 12th Ga. aud 13th Ya. I opened on them with small arms, which was all the go. Y\ hen we were first in sight of the Yankees we saw nothing but cavalry and artillery, but now these had passed away, on their side all was anew Brigade of in fantry after brigade was seen to fall iu and march forward to meet the “rebel intruders ” I never saw so many formed and on the march in so short a time as were then seen ; over in \ ankee lines. ,Seeing there were too many for us, the 48th Regt. Ya. Vols. ! complained to General Early, and his only reply was . “Go on Days ; you are safe.”— We shout aud pressed on to meet that unmovable looking line, which was only three hundred yards in advance. Just then we were ordered to cease tiring, fix bayonets, and prepare for a charge. Our atieution was called by our General : said be, “Boys,’’ you are not alone, only look back,” whidh we all did and discovered .a field of grey reb els in our rear advancing at the double quick. We opeued fire and in slow timi pressed on L» close quarters. We fired deadly vollies into them, to which they bracely replied ; but in a short time great confusion was seen in iheir lines, and we ceased firing add came to the charge, sweep ing the fields and mowing down the Yankees before us as if they were only black birds before the sportsman. They had been i strongly reinforced, aud our reiuforcemeuts I bad just arrived. We followed up their re* treat over the dead and dying, aad gained a complete victory over Pope. Our artillery followed us up close in the rear and as the bait staived blue coated cowards scampered off before us, Gen Ewell commanded ns to halt, and said to a captain of artillery : “A httie more grape, Captain, if you please, for lor (hay travel too fast fur cur bovs No sooner had this order been given than it was ebeyed, and load after load cf grape was sem after them which earned man’:’ a Yan kee to his long home The Yankee? finally barted, drew up aline of cavalry which magie a daring charge on us tone' effect; t-hev were soon drives back, and the victor? wis oure fur.that day. •The Federal? fell back to their fortifica tions. and “Old Stonewall” camped hi3 com mand on the battle field.

A. .From the Savannah Republican. io lilt* Iff embers of iheGeiieini «eixii>ly of Georgin, The rights of the people to select their public servants—men to till high places of honor and trust—is a privilege of no ordina ry character, aud, it properly and wisely ex ercised, a great blessing.' This exalted privilege, however, is sometimes used with out due leflection and sufficient consideration, and instead of a blessing, proves a curse.— It, is, therefore, hoped that you will pardon the writer lor calling your attention to a matter of importance, uot only to you and tuose you represent, but at great interest to th e eulii t? t\<iitt-citsaey. - At the meeting of the next session of the General Assembly of Georgia you will have, iu discharging your duties as the immediate representatives of the people, to purforin the high obligation electing a Senator to rep resent, in part, the State of Georgia in the Confederate States Senate ; and the liberty is now taken of directing your attention to that subject, that you may go to Miledgeville, after having, each member for himself, fully aud maturely reflected upon this matter, pre pared to act in a way that will redound to the best interest of the whole people. And to this end, allow an humble citizen of the State respectfully to make a few suggestions for your consideration. A Senator in Congress should possess cer tain qualifications not mentioned in the Con stitution, and which, unfortunately, are not always enjoyed by those who occupy that high position. He should be a sober man. No one should be allowed to Lave a seat in the Senate who is liable to have his mind beclouded and his step made unsteady by the use of intoxicating drinks. Who would employ a man to attend to any great and important private business, who was in the habit of becoming drunk in his own house, in bar rooms, or around a table with “jolly companions.” A Senators life should show him to be in no danger of ibis. He should be a man of good character in private life, of moral integrity and upright ness—a maD on whose word great reliance can be placed, and whose whole life shows him to be incapable defrauding the govern ment himself, or allowing it in others—a man, morally honest, with a nerve to do right and to condemn that which is wrong —one too pure for the unprincipled and vicious to dare approach with an overture to contenance, even by silence, a corrupt and wicked meas ure—one who has two high and exalted a sense of honor and justice robe induced to bend the knee, “that thrift may follow fawn -7 y mg. A Senator should be a man of intelligence, of general information, weli acquainted with the history of his own country, as well as the histories of all the most important coun tries of Europe-—a man ot thought and re search, ol towering aud gigantic ability, of splendid intellect, with a well cultivated mind ; with a capacity for any position— surpassed oy none, equalled by few A Senator should be a man with an abili ty to put his thoughts in chaste, beautiful and forcible language in writing, when necessary, and the power to express them with force and eloquence orally on the floor of the Senate chamber. A Senator should be a man who belongs to no one —who has no master, who thinks for himself, and has the fearless independence to give expression to his opiniou requires.— A man who has never made politics a trade, nor sought office as a livelihood. And as we now have iu the Senate from Georgia, Mr. Hill, who was a Bell man and uot a Secessionist, the other Senator should be one who supported Breckinridge, and who openly declared himself in favor of secession iu the events of Lincoln’s election. One who has proved his faith by bis works —who has left home and ease and gone into the service of the country, and has done ail iu hi* power to aid the government to drivn back the invader and establish our indepen dence A Senator should bes man of whom evo- r -' Georgian might justly feei proud; and whose information, intelligence, intellect, eloquence, logic, powers of argument capac uj ter repnr ee and invective would piace inm so high that none would ever fear bis ceiug overshadowed in the Senate combined rill up the picture, the outlines of which I ( iave ?o briefly and imperfectly drawn and say wfiether snch a man will suit vou for a Confederate States Senator. And have we the man 1 W e bare, and that man is Dr H. \ M. Miller. Y ritGr kas De * u acquainted with Dr. Miller tor over h quarter of a century. He Studied medicine in rhe county of Troup with Dr. Thomas Hamilton, and graduated ot the Medical College in Charleston, in a of thirty-nine, with distinguished honor —■lecei. mg a beautiful cup for the best En glish Dissertation And being unwilling te be merely a physician, he went to Paris, where he spent some time in the prossecu tiug the studies of his profession And he has been placed in no position—whether by the side of his patient, in the use of the -uigeon a Knife, in the lecture room as a Medical Professor, on the stump before the people, or in the pulpit—where he has failed ro display learning and distinguished ability Lilly in the year IH6I he was invited by the lamented Bartow to accept the position of burgeon ot the gaiiant Mi Georgia Regi ment and being lame from an injury received in childhood, he was yet unwilling to shrink ironi any duty his country might require m the hour of her severest trial He accepted the position, but one of his mind couid not long be kept in a place like that Those in authority had but to come in contract rifh him to see that he was qualified for a more enlarged sphere of usefulness, aud he has risen rapidly, until he now occupies one ot the highest positions in the Medical depart ment of the Confederate States Army Dr Miller has never been an office-seeker He wa3 brought before the people of the then Fifth Congressional District of this State, for a in Congress in the year 1844, without his solicitation, and the peo ple ot the district well remember with what ability he conducted the canvass. He was the first to advocate, so far as the writer knows or believes, the annexation of Texas by Congress, instead of by treaty, wbiah if quiiea tiro concnrKeuccYit tfVf7-l h**rds’df "the Senate. Since 1844, he has never been be fore the people as a candidate for office seek ing. while he holds in condemnation the practicer ot it in others. He is incapable of resorting to the tricks of the political dema gogue to obtain place and power. No one who is well acquainted with Doc tor Miller, and who has capacity to form a correct opinion, can fail to perceive that he posesses, in an eminent degree, ability to fill, with credit to himself and honor to Lis country, any position within the gift of the people of this State or of the Confederate States. He has no superior, if any equal, in the State: but few, if any, peers in the Confederacy If such a man would not most worthily represent the great State of Georgia in the Senate, we can have no suita ble representative there. Think, reflect, consider aud act from judgement, and all wilj be satisfied with your decision Id conclusion, the writer thinks it proper to add that he has seen Dr. Miller but once in a long time, and then only foi a sow min utes, and is entirely ignorant of hi? wishes respecting the Senatersbip. This is written without intimation or suggestion from any one, and with the view alooeto subserve the best interest of the country at a tj uj 3 SO # TP* 0“ mentous to all. One of the People The Twelfth Georgia Regiment.— A correspondent of the Milledgeville Recorder, speaking of the conduct of this regiment at Malvern Hill, thus sums up their se*vices : The regiment which thus rushed to that memoriabie battle field, and, without firing a shot, lay down to rest, preparatory to storm ing these terrible batteries on the morrow, is the- glorious 12th Georgia, of Ewell's brig ade. From the battle of Alleghany, it had. fought its way up to Harper’s Ferry, and back to Port Republic : had helped to con quer Milroy, Banks, Fremont, and Shields; had assisted in flanking McClellan, and in whipping him across the Chiekahominy ; and now after having been engaged in sixteen regular battles, it is in at the death of the “Grand army of the Potomac ” All glory to the I2th Georgia ! But this is not all Almost without resting, it has taken up the line of march, and is now at Gordonsvilie. The Late Gen. McClellan—McClel lan is meeting bis fate, and are none to pity His Governmeni is still stripping him of his forces Henceforth he is to com mand a squad instead of the “grand army. ‘ Henceforth he is to be second even to such a man as Pope, until Pope, in his corn, “has had his day.” That soothing nocturnal vis it of Lincoln is to keep him quiet under his humiliation It cannot be known what pro mises Lincoln wrung from him in his agony. Meek submission was probably one of them, as the very best thing McClellan could do, even for himself But oh, the bitter agonies of the defunct Napoleon, as he thinks of what he was going to be, and what he j?. And, as a mere personal retribution, richly does he deserve it. By his false dispatches, he raised hopes which he could not meet. — He thus prepared for himself a heavy fall, and a pit to fall in Tie rFm entered Lin coln’s service against Lis conscience,‘and it is therefore fit and proper that he should reap nothing but disgrace —Richmond En | uirtr.

This game ; however wiii be block aded to-day, as a tug carrying a six pound cannon, will be stationed at the entrance of the harbor, and overhaul every passenger boat and vessel that passes out. Our citizens may as well bring their fiioiids to a realiz.»«iun of the fact that ( ni cago is virtually- under martial law. Cap tain Bradley is now clothed with the pow ers of a provost marshal, and in future no male citizen between the ages of eighteen and forty-five will be permitted to I av< the city, or on any route leading east, or on an* of the lake boats, without a pass from the proper source. We find that this sudden arres* of fuga tives, in conforrni y to the new rrder, will operate as a complete cheek upon all at tempts to escape from tb'> country to avoid -tfct draft. The authorities are in ezrm-it about this matter, and such cowardly ‘•nr iDg as was manifested la>t night »nd during the whole of the past week will be at once stopped. This running away from duty has been practiced in most instences by wealthy men, while the poor men have been left t her rue the victims of the draft. In future there will be no more sneaking, nn more running away, no matter what may be the wealth of the individual. The orders from the War Depaitment, suspending the writ of habeas corpus, ana providing for the arrest of persons guilty of treasonable utterances or attempts to leave the country, will also be found in our tele graph column. A Note From Sam Houston, Jr., the Son-in-Law Imposture — Tt* following note from Sam. Houston, Jr , *ou of the hero of San Jacinto, throws some doubt upon the assertion made some Ums since that Gen Houston was dead : To the Editor of the Chicago Times : L have heard that a man calling himself Rev. Charles Clark, and professing to be a son of ex-Gov. Clark, of'lVxas, arid son-in law of General Sam. Houston, lately made some statements concerningthe alleged death of his father-in-law, at a public meeting held in Boston Now, this reverend gentleman is certain ly an impostor of the blackest dye, as Gov Clark’s eldest child is a boy twelve years of age, and my eldest sister is but a little girl at school. I left home last March, and try father, Gen. Houston, was then in better health than he had been for years. I am reapectfuily. Sam. Houston, Jr., Prisoner of War. Camp Douglas, Aug. 2, 1862.
