§k Mumiflti Zims. J. w. WIBBEV, - - - editor. Thursday Morning, June *O, 1864. Decision under the Conscript Law. —A case of some general interest under the Mili tary Act of February 17th, 1864, in respect to the exemptions of Physicians, lately went up from Lancaster, S. as reported by the Ledger. The law (says the Charleston Cour ier) exempts from military service all physi cians over the age of 30 years, who have been seven years in practice. In a Circular issued from the Conscript Department of South Car olina, the law was construed to apply only to physicians who had been regularly licensed. A practicing physician in this District, woo had not received a diploma from a Medical Col lege, but who was over 30 years of age and had been more than seven years in the prac tice, made application for exemption to the local Enrolling Officer. The latter, acting under instructions contained in the Circular , above mentioned, decided that the applicant ; was not entitled to exemption. From this j decision an appeal was sent up upon the j ground that it was not in accordance with . the law. The Secretary of War decided that the ex ception was well taken, and that the facts as to age and length of time in regular practice j were sufficient to entitle the applicant to'cx emptio n under the Act of Congress.

Several others were struck by fragments of shell and spent balls on the 18th inst., but sot sufficiently wounded to unfit them for j duty; among this class was Lt Col. Rawls, who was struck by a spent ball, inflicting a | slight bruise. Also Ist Lieut Jlv Eedell was Struck on the right arm. As will be seen from the above list, our cas- ; ualties were greater on the ISth inst. than . any other date. Six companies, with an ag- ' gregate of 240 men, lost -’3 per cent, oi that ■umber in killed, wounded and missing, \iz: Cos. A, Captain T W Brantley cornd'g; Cos, B, Captain G W Moody cornd'g: Cos. I, Lt II M Branch ; Cos. C, Lt J D G Lamb ; Cos. G, Capt N B Roberts, and Cos. 11, commanded by Capt Chas R Russell, engaged the enemy in a heavy skirmish, almost amounting to a general en gagement. These companies were ordered to hold a position in front of Mercer's brigade, Walker’s division, at all hazards, and being opposed by two lines of skirmishers, which i . •a ■ v, ’ 1. b in,' rough with c.-ohic.'.> an.. 'delerminntien. During the day the enemy forced back one company on our right, thereby gaining a position which subjected the right of our line to a cross fire* being held at the time by Cos. G and If. Capts. Russell and Roberts seeing this gave the command to charge upon the enemy, which they did in the mo3t gallant manner, driving the enemy’s left back 250 yards, and gaining a position which they held until they were regularly relieved by another regiment, of Mercer's brigade, the following night after the fight had ceased. About the time when the charge was made, referred to above, the iamented and gallant Lieutenant Samuel McClary was pierced through the head by a minie ball, while nobly discharging his duty. His death was instantaneous, falling upon his back with his arms extended grasping his unsheathed sword, and expressing in hi3 countenance that resolution which character ized him wLile living, and enthusiasm which animated him at the hour of his death, until j removed from the field.

Maj. Gen. Taylor’s Address. Headq’hs., Dist. West La. ; } In the Field, May 24, 18G4. $ , General Orders, No. ! Soldiers of the Army of Western Lov> memo. : Oil the 12th of March, the enemy with an army of thirty thousand men, accom* parried by a fleet of iron-clads. mounting one hundred and fifty guns, moved for* i ward for the conquest of Texas and Lou- | isiana; after seventy days continued fights | ing, you stand a hand of conquering he roes on the banks of the Mississippi. Fif ty pieces of cannon, seven thousand small arms, three gunboats and eight transports captured and destroyed, sixty stands of colors, over ten thousand of the enemy i killed, wounded or captured, these are trophies which adorn your victorious ban- : ners. Along three hundred miles ofj river you have fought his fleet, and over j two hundred miles of road you have driv- i en his army. You have matched your ! j bare breasts against his iron-clads and j ; proved victorious in the contest. You : have driven his routed columns beyond I j the Mississippi, although fed by j ! ments of fresh troops, while many of your j gallant comrades were withdrawn to other fields. The boasted fleet, which lately sailed triumphant over our waters, has fled in dismay after destroying guns and stripping off armor in its eager,.ess to es cape you. Like recreant knights, the iron-clads have fled the field, leaving shield and sword behiud. The devotion and constancy you have displayed in this pursuit have never been surpassed in the annals of war, and you have removed from the Confederate sol dier the reproach that he could win bat tles but could not improve victories. Along a hundred miles of his path the flying foe, with more than savage barbaric ty, burned every house and village within his reach. You extinguished th,g burn' ing ruins in his base blood, and were j nerved afresh to vengeance by the cries | of women and children left without sheL j ter or food. Long will the accursed race ! remember the great river of Texas and Louisiana. The characteristic hue of his turbid waters has a darker tinge from the liberal admixture of Yankee blood. The cruel alligator and ravenous garfish wax fat on rich food, and our native vuL ture holds high revelry over many a fess tering corpse. If the stern valor of our welhtrained infantry was illustrated on the bloody fields of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill, this long pursuit has covered the cavalry of this army with undying renown. Like generous hounds with the game in full view, you have known neither hunger nor fatigue, and the hoarse can non and the ringing rifle have replaced in this stern chase the sonorous horn and joyous halloo. Whether charging on foot, shoulder to shoulder with our noble in fantry, or hurling your squadrons on the masses of the foe, or* hanging on his fly> j ing columns with more than the tenacity j 1 of the Cossack, you have been admirable in all. Conquer your own vices and you can conquer the world. Our artillery has been the admiration iof the army. Boldly advancing, without cover, against the heavy metal of the hostile fleet, unlimbering Often without support within range of musketry, or re maining last on the field to pour grape I and canister into advancing columns, our batteries have been distinguished in exact proportion as opportunity was afforded. Soldiers l these are great and. noble deeds, and they will live in chronicle and in song as long as the Southern lace ex | istg to honor the earth. But much mains yet to do. _l!ig iaircst city of the South languishes in the invader s arasp. Her exiled sons mourn her fate if n every land. The cheeks of her fair j daughters yet mantle with the blush rais ed by the brutal Tyrant’s insult. Not a Confederate soldier returns to his colors from this sad Venice of the South, but recounts with throbbing heart and tears ful eyes, how amidst danger and insult j these noble women—angels upon earth— cheered his confinement and relieved his wants. To view the approving smiles of these fair dames, will be a soldier’s proud est boast, the brightest leaf in his chaps j let of laurels. Soldiers! this army moves towards New Orleans, and though it do not reach the goal, the hearts of her patriotic wo men shall sound high with joy, responsive to the echoes of your guns.

Lynchburg, June 2 , sth. — A gentleman who left our forces Thursday five miles beyond Sa lem on New Castle goad, says Hunter's army came near being captured at that point, ilis escape was due only to delay in delivering an order. The enemy was so hard pressed that he nestroyed bis ammunition train, one mile long. Our informant saw it blown up. A portion of our forces arc reported to have taken a large wagon train and a number of prisoners. The enemy, while on the retreat, destroyed Bonsack’s woolen factory, in Roanoke county. Wilmington, June 29th. —The Journal has re ceived the Richmond Enquirer of the 27th. A private source reports the enemy on the 27th, to ba on the Petersburg and Weldon Road, near Brock House, about 7 miles south of Petersburg. The following telegram is taken from the En quirer : “Petersburg, June 25th.—No-fighting to-day, and none expected. Scouts sajythat Grant told his men that the fight ing has ended. The siege of Richmond begun. Petersburg, 26th.—All quiet yesterday and to-day. Some cannonading awhile this morning on the centre—result unknown. A severe cavalry fight occurred near Mottoway C.

Pillow with 3,000 men on 24th, demanded the surrounder of Lafayette, gar risoned with 400 cavalry. The surrender was re fused. The Confederates attacked the town. The Yankees took position in the Court House and ad jacent houses for more than 3 hours. Confederates continued to advance slowly, when tho 4th Ken tucky cavalry came in, and the Confederates wore defeated, leaving 100 dead and 70 prisoners. They conveyed off Col.

[Special to the Mobile Register & Advertiser.] Senatobia, June 27. — The Chicago Times and St. Louis Republican of the 23d publish the following: The Federal los3 on the 18th, near Peters burg, is estimated at 3,500. The surrender of the city has been demand ed and refused. The rebels occupy a strong position, ren dering the city- untenable by the Federals. The sacrifice of life to take it would conse quently be useless until the rebels are dis lodged. A dispatch dated “Army of the Potomac,” of the 21st, reports no change in the position for the last three days. The rebels were throwing up entrenchments, and seemed de termined to hold Petersburg. Supplies had been sent to the White House, for Hunter and Sheridan, whose arrival there was expected. * Lincoln was visiting the Army of the Poto mac. 4 Sherman reports recent successes. Marmaduke is moving on Little Rock. Tne steamer lago, loaded with cotton, was burned on the Arkansas river. Guerillas are troublesome on the Ohio. The Chicago Convention is postponed till the 29th August. Mass meetings are being held in New York and other cities, to impress upon the Chicago Convention that the people are in favor of peace. The Abolition papers arc fearful that Con gress will adjourn without passing the bill to conscribe every- able-bodied man. They say “the air is thick with omens of peril to the cause from the lack of men, and our noble ar mies in the field are daily melting away.” Yallaridigham perambulates Dayton at will. The rise of gold is attibuted to the reverses of the Federal arms, and to the gold bill the repeal of which is strongly urged. Gold closed on the 22d at 228, having reached 235. Maximilian has appointed Santa Ana a Field Marshal. Liverpool dates to the lith received. The cotton market was firmer, and slightly higher for American. The London Times, in its editorial, says that in the debate in Parliament, the foreign i enlistment matter has been exaggerated.

New York, June 20. — The Tribune’s spec cial, dated headquarters army of the Potomac, near Petersburg, on the 17th, says: We arc again in front of the entire rebel army, which has been engaged by our advance, 2d and 18th corps, and important captures of guns, priso ners and positions have been accomplished. The 2d, 12th and 18th corps are in line bat tle, and when tho remainder of the treops ar rive dispositions will be made for a final as sault on the enemy's works. Since Tuesday night we have wrested several strong positions from the enemy by charges, and have taken eighteen guns and several hundred prisoners. Our advance is within half a mile of Poters | burg, which is in full view of almost our en | tire line. Prisoners say portions of Lee s army com | menced arriving at Petersburg on Friday night, • only a few hours after the arrival of Hancock with the 2d corps ; and that Wise, command i ing his brigade in peison, at that time held ! the to^n. City Point is iu our possession, and the Nor . folk and Petersburg line is commanded by our I troops. The 18th corps, which landed at Bermuda Hundreds to-day noon, led the advance, cross ing the Appomattox on pontoons, four miles above its mouth. Skirmishing commenced about four miles 1 from the town, when our advance drove back the enemy’s pickets to their outer advances, which were immediately charged by Ilinks’ negro division with splendid gallantry. The enemy wa3 put to flight, two guns and a con siderable number of prisoners captured, and the works held on Hancock s arrival on V ed nesday afternoon. Birney’s, Gibbon’s and Barlow’s divisions sub sequently; arrived, and an advance of the 2d and 18th icorps were ordered by Hancock, who in the absence of Meade, took command of the corps. The result was highly successful; the rebel works being carried at the point of the bayonet, and a number of redoubts of great strength were occupied. Sixteen guns were taken and turned upon the enemy by the 18th corps. Headquarters, Near Petersburg, June 18. Contrary to expectations, no general en gagement occurred yesterday, although fight ing on our left, at times were very heavy. 2^Our line was considerably advanced, where, for a short time, the fighting was exceedingly fierce. The results was favorable, though not de sisive. Four additional guns were captured by the second corps, making a total of twenty-two. A VwveMj —Sloine Manufac tured Ice. Vve had the pleasure of witnessing yester day, an enterprise recently introduced into our city by our energetic and preserving fel low citizen, Capt. Camille Girardey—at once an enterprise of great utility, and a novelty to the people of this country ; an enterprise due at once to the war, in which we are en gaged, and to the energy of the gentleman who has introduced it here. This enterprise is no I less than & machine for the manufacture of ice ! It is the invention of M. Carrie, of I France, and is capable of producing ice—the : one now at work here—at the rate of a ton a day. It can also manufacture salt, and some i chemicals of importance. We witnessed its • operations yesterday, and saw the ice, and | tasted it too. Only to think of it—long oylin j dical blocks of ice, made on a hot day of June, I by the combined action of caloric acid gas, j and water, under the influence of steam and i atmosphere pressure ! This is, indeed a nov j elty worthy of the investigation of the learned, and the examination of ihe curious ; and we are gratified to be able to state that a day Jin' ; each week—of which due notice will be given 1 —will be set apart, on which the public* IHID ! be admitted to witnessMhe operations-of this ; wonderful machine'. iLis the invention, AS we have already said of >l. Carrie, one of the I greatest chemists of France, who has patented” it all the world over. Capt. Girardey has se cured the patent right for the Confederacy, ! and intends to manufacture a number of these ! machines, to be introduced into all of our Southern cities. A great portion of the ice thus made, is for ! the Government—to be used in hospitals, par | ticularly for the sick and wounded soldiers, while a portion will be reserved for the publio 1 to whom it will be sold at as reasonable rates ! j as possible. Thus the necessities of the war 1 , in which we are engaged, and the enterprise : of our people, we are becoming daily, more i and more independent of‘‘our Yankee breth ren and by the time the war close, we hope, not only to achieve our politicaj’independence, but also our financial and industrial indepen . deuce of the people who are trying to subju gate us, as well as the world at large. Let ua labor by all ihe means in our power, to ac complish the great end. Me will, through the courtesy of Captain | Giardey, be enabled to give our readers a more detailed account of this curious machine is a few days. CITY MATT KILL , T. .J. JACKSON, LOCAL EDITOR.

The friends and acquaintances of the family are requested to attend the funeral this afternoon at 5 o’clock, from their residence, north end Broad st. The Concert Tuesday Night.— We had the pleasure of attending r the Concert on Tuesday evening by the Amateurs of this cily, assisted by Dr. Clark, Mr. E. O. Eaton and little Ella Mont gomery. The Hall was crowded almost to suffo cation, the thermometer ranged at a high figure, and we found it difficult to obtain a position where we could feel comfortable and at the same time en ter the spirit of the soothing influences of the hour. IVe are of opinion, however, from the evi dent marks of satisfaction which seemed to per vade the vast throng that many, notwithstanding the unpropitious surroundings, were in a more ap preciative mood, and consequently much bettor enabled to form a correct estimate of the merits of • the concert. : Although not so well pleased with the pro gramme as on some former occasions, wo think it j was executed in a spirited and felicitous manner, ! both by the gentleman and lady singers and in i strumental performers. We noticed some newac | quisitions on the stage, who were making their I debut before a Columbus public, and by the dis | play of the vocal flowers thus brought to bear, | some of the chorusses were rendered in a charm ing manner. For instance, in the “Grand Cho rus,” “O ! Somo Carlo,” “Will you came to meet me Darling,” the combination of sweet sounds was most harmonious and pleasing, and evinced an aggregate array of talent of which our city may justly feel proud. That peerless child of song and adept on the stage, little Ella Montgomery, seemed to bo the chief attraction or central sun around which re volved the less brilliant and less glorious orbits of the occasion. Asa sweet singer, she has few equals of her age : in perfect enunciation, she is remarkably accurate and pleasing; while in ac tion, she is eminently fitted for the stage. We have heard of some folks being born poets, and others being born great, but wo think nature dis played one of its rare freaks in the combination of qualities and graces with which it invested little Ella. This Concort is to be repeated this evening, and and in view of its noble and praiseworthy and by way of encouragement to those who have been at such labor and pains to please the music loving portion the city, we trust to see Tempe rance Hall again filled to overflowing with the beautiful and refined of the community. Tickets can be had at Mrs. Dessau’s, Gunby’s, and Spear’s Jewelry store. Tickets may be had at Dessau s, Gunby sand i Spear's. See programme elsewhere. Acute Hearing.— We hare in time heard and read much of the wonders and miracles of she sense of hearing—of the auricular faculties being 30 acute and delicately strung, that the gentlest sounds could be distinctly defined : and even the melodies of the spheres have been re-echoed on mortal ears—that is, if the testimeny of some is to be believed; while sounds at remote distances have by some mysterious powers of condensation, been brought in seeming proximity to the ears of some in whom this wonderful gift or faculty has been developed. But it remains for our friend Joe of the Enquirer, to “take the rag off the bush” in the profundity of his capacity to condense and de fine sound, as wa have it from reliable authority that he heard distinctly yesterday morning a i heavy cannonading at Marietta. Ain’t his acute- j ness wonderful ? If some folks who are suffering : from auricular obstructions could establish a sort j of spiritual telegraph or medium with the said Local,| their obstructions might not only be re moved but they could henceforth in a remarkable degree enjoy the comforts and beauties of that di vinest of all the senses. With Joe’s gift of hearing and ours of seeing wouldn’t he be a prodigy ? Congratulatory Orders. The following is a copy of Gen. Buford’s con gratulatory order to his troops : Headq’rs. 2d Div. Forrest’s Cavalry, ( Baldwin, Miss., Juno 19, 136-1. } General Orders, No. 27.] Soldiers of tho Second Division ! Your action on the 10th and 11th instant mark an era in the history of wars. No parallel can be found in his tory of such a battle fought and won by cavalry. No battle was more decisive—no victory was more full—no defeat more complete a rout—no pursuit more rapid and exciting. Contending with the enemy’s infantry (twice your numbers,) fully and splendidly equipped, and protected by cavalry to the whole force on gaged, you demolished his army, captured his artillery and wagon trains, and rescued a help less population from the insolont domination of a ruthl«S3 foe.

Determine that no act shall ! tarnish the lustre of the glory you have so proudly j won. You merit and will reeeive a country’s benediction. (Signed) A. Ecford, Brig. Gen. Cemd'g. Thos. M. Crowder, A. A. G. Pray for the Soldiers. — Says the Christian j : “Letters from the army of Gen. Lee all in voke the prayers Os God’s people at home. Nev er did our noble soldiers so much feel the need of prayer. Oh! let them be remembered morn- i ing, noon and nigbt, in the public congregation and in the closet; at the house of God and at < home, and everywhere. Nothing so much en courages our friends in the army as the assurance that they are remembered by their friends at home in their supplications at a throne of grace.” Col. Philip E. Cook, of the 4th Georgia regiment, has been appointed Brigadier General and takes command of Do.es brigade. . * . : .' .-yfe.n q r*C3 a v usS-y—7 •••••• % i, / : ,:ti.re .u-Yru. j six o’clock Sunday everting ei Gitv-f | been fired at the city, j On Saturday evening a warm artiller | plnco between our batteries on Sullivan’Y \>\f‘ j ami Battery Gregg, the latter firing thirv j shots and Jbc former eighty six.

A Pleasant a rip.—We spent vesterdav very pleasantly visiting the Bath Paper Mill, and the works of the Southern Porcelain Manufacturin' Company. The Bath Mill is being pressed forward to com pletion as rapidly as possible, under existing cir cumstanccs, by Mr. W. It. Iluse, the courteous arm untiring agent, and will, when completed, be thj largest and best arranged paper mill in the Con federacy. Mr. Iluse has had many difficulties to contend against in putting forward the work thus far, which nothing but indomitable will and per severance could have overcome. It is now nearly completed, and we hope soon to have the pleasu. ot announcing it in successful operation. The Porcelain works are now under anew j f e > < -' Bollock as President, and our friend. «.

M., held on the 22d inst., the following , was received and adopted : ! The Allwise Architect of the Universe, in His i j serulablo Providence has again seen fit to visit our Mystic Circle and remove from among us our mm h ! beloved Brother, F. C. TILLMAN, th an whom no ; better man, nor purer Mason, has lived to adorn j the walks of life. Although inclined to peaceful 1 pursuits and the winning quietude of a domestic I life, when our country called upon her citizens for | defence he nobly responded and with his command I soon repaired to the point of danger, where he hr- I been ever found battling for the rights anu liberty i of his country. The fell missile overtook him | amidst the roar of cannon and the clash of arms; : he met a patriot's death and a patriot’s grave now : entombs him. Hi the various duties of a citizen, husband and father he was exemplary calling forth the admiration of all who witnessed his career which bid fair to have proved a success. In his connection with our Fraternity, by his uniform kindness and amiable disposition he won not only the esteem ot the brethren but their affection and strong rogard. and as he in his ofiieiaqcapacity once represented the Be'nutif of our time-honored Institution so did he as a man, set forth tho beauty of a well regulate ■ and nieely balanced life: and, whereas, it behooves us to submit without murmur to the fiat of an All incrciful Jehovah, yet we feel that when such a brother is stricken from among us that our loss i great and a gloomy foreboding would be cast ove: our hopes were it not for our symbolic evergreou which directs our minds to the glorious doctrine c the immortality of the soul and tells us that our i brother is not dead but sleepeth and will ru-e ag-.u ! Therefore, be it ! Resolved Ist, That in tne death of Brother I. L ! TILLMAN, our Lodge has suffered a severe loss and j our country one of its best citizens and soldiers. ! 2d. That our Lodge be clothed in mourning so: [the spaco of thirty days, and the brethren wear the i usual badge. 3d. That a page upon our record book be ins 7 bed ' to his memory. 4tb. That a copy of this preamble and Resolutions I with our sincere sympathy and condolence be trans j mitted to the family of the deceased and that the. I be published in the city papers. C. C.
