Link of Battle, 4 3 Milks West of Big Shantt, L June 7th, 1864. J Ed. Times :— I last wrote you from line of battle three miles south of Dallas ; since then, to meet corresponding movements of the en emy, the entire army has changed position, so that our left rests on ‘‘Lost Mountain,” ten miles northwest of Marietta ; the right oc:u pying a range of hills n&rtheast of the Rail Road—the line covering Marietta. How long we shall remain in our present position, no one can say—all is conjecture. Gen. Johgston possesses the faculty of keeping his intentions a perfect secret. Two weeks since our fight ing line was Chattahoochee river and Atlanta; at least, wise-acres in camp and at home said so. To-day no one dreams of leaving Mari etta in our rear. For the last ten or fifteen days, we have confronted the enemy, and re pulsed with ease, several assaults upon our lines. In this school, we have learned two things: The enemy do not fight with their usual determination; we with a great deal more. Spasmodic efforts to break a fortified line of determined men, has resulted in morti fying failures, attended with severe loss, as is always the case, and has but little tendency to encourage the soldier who does not partic ipate, and usually demoralizes those engaged. If Sherman intends to force us to Atlanta by flank movements, his role is about ended, and the boasted on to that Godless City at an end, by any such movements. If he attempts to force our front, thousands of muskets in tried hands, meets his move. The game, since we turned our faces to the foe, would be amusing were it not that an oc casional ball wounds or kills some comrade in arms. First upon our left, then our centre and right, or left and right simultaneously— hunting for a soft place, but usually striking just where we wish them, an occasional night attack, or more properly an alarm, for they rarely venture on such occasions, in range of our rifles. A tew night3 since, they must have wasted a thousand pounds of powder up on our Division without wounding a man. A Chinese Gong army could not have raised a greater row with less results. As Ave were not born in the woods to be scaled by owls, the roar of their artillery did nothing more than draw upon them vows of vengeance for disturbing our slumbers at reasonable hours. In following up their movements upon our right, we have traversed the country about twenty miles northeast and southwest, a con tinuous lines of earthworks marks the route. Os course the line of march has been destruc tive to private property, but the country is so poor that it will amount to but little in dol lars and cents, and but a trifle in the way of supplies. The people residing along the line, have suffered severely, and should be prompt ly assisted by the State, if not by individual effort. Live stock has been slaughtered wher ever found by disreputable soldiers when their haversacks were full, feuch conduct is un pardonable, and I am satisfied that General officers would punish severely any soldier found guilty of 3uch an outrage. The fault is, that company officers are too loose in dis cipline, and too frequently indulge themselves in the results of some fortunate raid upon a poor woman’s hen-roost, or pig-pen. But the curse of war is upon us, and we must need bear patiently its inflictions. . In my last, I had just time to say that Corp’l B. M. Denson wa9 killed, £nd J. M. Moore, mortally wounded. Both of this company ( K,) and both deserve more than a bear announce ment of their death. Moore died the next day. Corporal Denson was an exception amongst good soldiers, intelligent, brave and generous. He honored the position he filled for over three years, ‘‘a soldier in the army of his na tive South.’’ For more than two years he has stood by.my side in the ranks, in battle, on the march, or in camps ; he was always at his jmst, never missed a roll-call without author ity, but discharged every duty with zeal and intelligence. He was on duty at a picket post very much exposed to the enemy’s sharpshoot ers ; Moore was wounded and called Denson, who, although knowing the danger, did not hesitate, but went instantly to the relief of his wounded comrade. Whilst placing him upon a litter, he was shot through the region ofthe heart and died in an hour. We buried him mournfully anfi sadly under the gree., ‘■ree our rear, and marked his name and the date of ; his death over his grave. His companions m arms tender to his afflicted mother their bear .- felt sympathy in her great bereavement. Moore was scarcely known to your citizens. He was one*of the original members of Capt. Phelps' Company, and for two years and up wards has been a constant companion. Re cently, within the last forty days, he went home on furlough and was married. God pity the stricked bride and wife, full of hope and joyous anticipations of the future! He was cut down In the springtime of life. Another victim to the insatiate monster—death ! We have nearly as man) rumors in gamp as they have in Atlanta, and not a whit more re liable. Out f the number, a few may be true. Auioi g the most probable, one is our cavalry have blown up, or down, the tunnel at Tunnel Hill—a feat not very difficult—and therefore probable. Forrest has taken Chat tanooga and is marching upon Bridgeport, is the next—extremely doubtful. Gereral Wheeler is again upon the wing; about 5,000 of our cavalry are, I know—as I saw them start. Their destination is not known to outsiders. No. 4, and most probable, the Yankees won't fight, aud are fortifying Alla toona Hills. A summer amid Its barren knobs and torrid sides may suit their fancy, provid ed Gen. Johnston is willing to permit them peaceful occupation—of doubtful things, the most dubious. • The army is still in that condition which wins victories. General Johnston holds it in hand as an expert does his coach and cattle. X ' * . ORDERLY. Later from tlte North. Northern dates as late as June Ist, are received. The New York Times, of that date, has an elaborate and ably prepared editorial on the condition of affairs, in which Butler is severely berated, and his whole campaign pronounced a disgraceful failure. The Times asserts that Peters* burg could have been easily eaptured had Butler made the slightest effort upon first landing at Bermuda Hundreds and states that the occupation of Petersburg world have afforded a base of operations which could not have failed to realize the happi est results. It admits a signal defeat at Drewry’s Bluff, and attributes the failure entirely to the mismanagement of the commanding General. It says the Fed* eral troops were very badly handled; that they were brought up in detail, and so whipped,' while the rebels Were skillfully and splendidly managed. The dissatis faction of the subordinate Generals is candidly avowed, and the removal of But ler very plainly intimated. The Times adds that all hope of capturing Richmond by Butler having been abandoned his forces have been so reduced as to place him entirely on the defensive. Baldy Smith and Brooks, at the head of a large force, were sent off from Butler last week, and reached West Point on the 81st. The Times says the news from Grant is of the most cheering character. He now occupies an excellent position—the same to some extent that McClellan for* merly occupied, but that Grant is a dif ferent m&n from McClellan, has vaster resources, greater means, and most gloris ous results are sanguinely expected. The tidings from Sherman are said to be all that the Lincoln Administration could desire. A severe fight had occur** red at Dalton, Ga., which resulted in the complete overthrow of the rebels, whose loss is estimated at 3.000. Sherman oc cupied Dalton, all the efforts of the rebels to eject him being completely foiled. The radical Black Republican Conven tion, which met at Cleveland on the 30th, nominated for the Presidency John C. Fremont, and for the Vice Presidency John Cochrane, of New l^ork. The Convention was largely attended, and great enthusiasm prevailed. Lincoln’s name was mentioned, but only in derision. A Convention of the more moderate Republicans is to take place in Baltimore on the 7th of this month. Butler telegraphs to Stanton that a ve ry intelligent and highly respectable wo man had entered his lines. She was di rect from Richmond, and brought most important information from the rebel capi tal. A public meeting had been held, at which two propositions were freely dis cussed, viz : Whether Richmond should be burnt or surrendered. The Mayor advocated a surrender, and wa3 immedi ately thrown into Castle Thunder for en*» tertaining such views, where he has been ever since. Butler telegraphs that he has rupulsed the rebels on every occasion, both on the Chesterfield and Prince George sides of the Appomattox. Gold was quoted at 1901. — Rich. Dis patch, 6 th. * In the old book printed in the year 1606, where it treats »of “courtship, love and matrimony,” we find the following : “Albeit; it is now become a part of ( the Common Lawe in regard to the social relations ol life, that so often as every ; besextile year dothe returne, the ladyes ; have the sole privilege, during the time it j continueth, to make love unto the men, ■ which they may do with words or looks, j as unto them seemeth proper; and, more- ; over, no man will be entitled to the bene** fits of the elergy who dothe in anywise treat their proposals with slight or con* tumely.” j The following paragraph from the New [ Orleans correspondent of the Philadel* 1 ghia Presbyterian, bears testimony to the patriotism of the Presbyterians of New ; Orleans: The condition qf Presbyterianism here is melancholy. <Df six churches, only ' three are open, dnd they at tended. The Presbyterj of New Orleans , has not convened for two years, though a quorum is within the lines. The truth ' is, a large proportion of the original mem- . here remaining in the city are schismatic, ' secessionists. $4.00 Per Month ' [From the Richmond Enquirer, 6th.] The News. After the hour on Saturday night at which Gen. Lee s dispatch was written, the enemy made an attack upon our left, near Bethesda Church, A spirited engagement ensued, and the enemy were finally repulsed and driven back. The demonstration was comparatively a weak one. Occasional cannonading occur red during the night. Three hundred of the prisoners captured in the fight near Gaiue's Mill, on Thursday, ar rived in the city on Saturday, including ten commissioned officers. Up to Saturday, be tween fifteen and eighteen hundred prisoners, in the recent fights on the Chicka hominy, have been received and registered at the Libby and its dependencies. About one hundred Yankee wounded have also been re ceived. Yesterday was unattended by any incident of interest. The burial of the dead occupied the attention of both armies to some extent, but there was no fixed cessation of hostilities. Some skirmishiug occurred on the left of our lines, and a slight demonstration is reported to have occurred near Bottom's bridge. Noth ing indicative of a regular engagement, how ever, occurred on any part of the lines during the day. prisoners. An official return, made on Saturday, shows that there had been received, from July Ist to that day inclusive, at the Libby prison, 1,342 prisoners, including 46 commissioned officers, captured on the Chickahominy. a gallant act. During the fight on Friday, in front of Ijfer shaw’s division, a most gallant charge was made by Kershaw’s (old) brigade upon the enemy, in which Private Pickett, of Company B, Second South Carolina regiment, seized the color bearer of the Forty Eighth New York regiment, and wrested from his hands the splendid silk colors of that regiment, aud brought them off to within our lines. We ex amined these colors, which bore many eviden ces of the markaanship of our soldiers. Upon the staff of the colors was a silver plate in scribed “Forty Eighth New York State Vol unteers, presented by the city in 1863.” Com menting rnpon the superior material and make ,of this beautiful trophy, a soldier dryly re marked, “The flag ought to be beautiful; it is all they are fighting for.” THE FLORIDA TROOPS. The Florida troops, now in Virginia are un der command of Gen. Finnegan, including the brigade of the gallant Perry, who fell serious ly wounded in one of the recent battles in % Spottsylvania. The latter has served in Vir ginia during the best part of the war. Those who recently arrived with General Finnegan have been in Florida for the most part. They have each illustrated their valor in their re spective positions of duty, and since their union in eld Virginia have added fresh laurels to their fame. AN INCIDENT OF FRIDAY’S ENGAGEMENT. On Friday last it was ascertained by Gen. Breckinridge that some bodies of the enemy occupied a wood in front of his command, which enabled them, without exposure of themselves, to attack his skirmishers when ever sent out, and from which they might, with impunity, cut off'his pickets at any hour. He determined to dislodge them by a night attack. The operation was important, but obviously full of danger, and, when about to be commenced, it was proposed that it should be headed by some other officer whose life might be less valuable ; but the generous and chivalrous Breckinridge repled : “No ; those brave men have, for three days and night3, stood in the front of battle, worked in the trenches, and encountered every danger, and I must share all with them. They are in formed of the enterprise; I have told them that I would head them, aud I will do it. The movement was commenced about eight o’clock. I had not proceeded far when the enemy opened upon our front with both musketry and artillery, but the heroio leader still advanced until his horse was struck full in the breast by a cannon ball, and fell to the ground upon his rider. Those of his staff who attended him—including the Hon. E. M. Bruce, M. C., Colonel J. T. Pickett, of Ken tucky, volunteer aid, and Mr. Srnally, of England —were instantly around the general, but they had only the dim light of the night, and what the con fused wreck was could not bo at once discovered, and the worst was feared. It was presently, how ever, ascertained that only the right leg of the rider had been caught under the fallen horse, and Col. Pickett’s horse .was immediately furnished; but the general being barely able to sustain him self at the time in his saddle, he wag escorted to the rear. How his brave men went onward and achieved the object of the bold and well-planned enterprise history will record. But there was one incident which we do not wish to leave wholly forgotten. It is of a class of things which may bo called small and deserving but a moment’s notice and then forgotten, but some of which often sparkle out, even in the catas trophe of the great drama of uatioDai events, with an intensity which touches the heart acd ex cites the finest feelings of the human soul. When the general had been reached and was being extri cated by his devoted aids from the wreck of his mangled steed, on being asked, “How are you wounded? Where? How?” he uuswered, “No, no, not seriously, all will be right with me, but,” turning to the a rill quivering body of his prostrate steed, “My horse,” he continued, “My noble horse; poor old sorrel, he had carried me so gallantly through so many battles acd through such dan gers, that I had even fancied he bore a charmed life, and would survive the war; but he is gone !” aud the invincible eyes, which had never quailed before mortal foe, were filled with tears. Ail this was the event of a moment. Men were falling, or in danger, all around, and to them the thought of the chieftain was at the same moment directed, with what emotions we shall not attempt to de scribe. FROM THE VALLET. Accounts from tha Valley inform us that Sigel’s successor, Hunter, had advanced, on yesterday, to Port Republic, via Harrisonburg. On Saturday night his advance came within eight miles of Waynesboro’, but retired soon after upon Port re public. The force of the enemy has not trans pired ; it is not believed to be very formidable, however. Crook's cavalry were said to be advan cing towards Staunton by the Warm Spring! road. liiiboden, Jones, and other forces were on the alert and will be prepared to receive them should they essay an attack upon any important point in that actien. Siegs OF Charleston —Three Hundred and Thirty Fifth Day. —About daylight Tifesday morning the steamer Ettiwan got aground be tween Forts Sumter and Johnson. Her position was almost immediately discovered by ths enemy, who opened a upon her frern batteries Gregg and Wagner. The firing from Wagner ceased about 10 o’clock, but was continued by Gregg without intermission until dark. Upwards of threj hundred shots were fired at the little steamer which was completely deatroyed. The crew abandoned the boat under a heavy fire, but escaped unhurt. Batteries Simkins and Ctfcves kept up a spirited reply to Gregg and Wagner. The enemy’s batteries at Light House Inlet con tinued to shell Secessicnville during Monday night and Tuesday, aud was replied to by liaitery Haskell. Thirty-fire shots have been firec atlbe<*ity sinceonr last report up to 6 o’clock Tueslar t— ing. The shelling continues steady. The Ironsides took her departure fr Monday night and sailed North.

They ad vanced in two columns, and after several as saults upon onr works which were repulsed, succeeded in flanktng about 200 militia, caus ing them to retreat with a loss of 6 killed and 30 wounded, including some of our best citi zens. The militia fight like veterans. The Yanks then advanced to the suburbs, but at an opportune moment Graham’s Battery open ed upon them from Reservoir Hill. Simulta neously Deariug’s cavalry charged them, and the enemy fled in great confusion. The column advancing on the Blandford Road was repulsed by Studevant’j Battery, which arrived just in time. Our reinforcements pursued the Yanks sev eral miles. The residence of Timothy Rives was sack ed and burnt. Rives was carried off, and the Rev. Win.

The impudence of such a man, with such principles, offering himself as a candidate for Governor of the State, is unparalleled in the annals of demagogue ism. His election would be the foulest disgrace that could befal the Old North State. We cannot believe it probable, that a State which has so nobly stood up in defense of Southern rights and liber-** ties, can ever degrade itself so much as to elect a man who would, even for one moment, tolerate the idea of submitting to such terms as the miserable despot at Washington offers to the acceptance of our people. Better far better—subjugation and annihilation than a base submission to such degradation as is involved in the* proffers of the brutal fanatics of the North. We look upon the Standard and Progress, of North Carolina, as worse enemies to the South than the Tribune and limes, of New \ork—because they do more to encourage the North in its warfare upon us, than can be done by these open organs of Abolitionism. We do not know the editors, and we do not judge of their motives, but we speak ad visedly of the influence*which their course is having at the North. Their columns are sought with avidity, and their denun ciations of the Confederate Government and its measures are paraded before the North as evidence of the Union, still existing amongst the people, and they are encouraged to continue the war upon us. When wili the spirit of faction and demagogueism be properly rebuked by the indignant voice of the people, and its fermentors made to feel that true pat riotism and devotion to the great interests ot the .Southern Confederacy, the only passport to honor ? We trust that North Carolina will remember her gallant sol diers who are now on the various fields of battle, and not disgrace them by the sup port of a bare-hearted submissionist. We are for the war and against all who are not for it, because we can only obtain an honorable peace by a vigorous and united prosecution of the war, forced upon us by those who are trying to subjugate us and deprive us of our rights and liberties— Montyomery Moil. .
