“to supplicate Almighty God that he will

i'.vii time for us to repent as a nation, and humble
selves before God. The Yankees with ail their

When the guns of the Monitor are fired,
two immense pillars of steel, on the inside
about six feet long, two feet in width, and
one foot in thickness, slide before the port
boles, completely closing them and pro
tecting the gunners from the balls of the
enemy.
. During the forenoon of Friday. ISlh, a dispatch
from Major Lee, from Elizabeth City, reached
Col. Reid at South Mills, “that the Yankees had
appeared oft Elizabeth City in force and would
undoubtedly attack us.”
1 he dispatch was sent forward to Portsmouth,
to Col. Wright Col. Wright came immediately
to South Mills, arriving here about 8 o’clock in
the evening. Coi. Reid was sent towards Eliza
beth City at once, to cause the companies station-
ed near them to fall back, in supporting distance
of the companies here, should the advance of the
enemy be by Camden Court House.
Early i-aturday morning the news reached us,
that the I cderals w ere advancing by way of Cam
den Court Hou-e. The two companies stationed
at South Mills. (C, Capt. McWhorter and D, Capt.
Andrews,) were marched towards Camdc-n Court
House. Company L, Capt. Ilemdon, who was
stationed at the River Bridge, 1£ miles below
South Mills, joined us 3 miles below South Mills,
at which place Col. Wright determined to make a
stand. I he.se three companies mustered 160 men.
We had with us. Capt. McComas’ company (4
pieces) cf Artillery.
I he Artillery was placed at the entrance to Saw
yer s Lane, covered by thick woods and under
growth. On the right of the Artillery, Company
D, Capt. Andrews was deployed, behind a fence
ia the edge of the woods. On the right of Compa
ny D, Capt. McW hotter. Company C', was de
pioyed. On the lelt of the Artillery Captain
Herndon, Company L, was deployed, behind a
fence in the edge ot the woods. By the time
these three companies were p!ni-*d j„ position
Company A, Capt. Musgrove, and B, Capt. Nisbet,
reached the field, and ware deployed on the left.
Our entire front occupied the edge of a woods,
less than a quarter of a mile in extent, protected
by a fence. In front of us, for half a mile, 1 judge,
in any direction were open corn fields, orsmaii
farms, through which ran innumerable fences and
ditches. Theso fields or farms were environed by
thick woods or swamps Preparatory to the battle
Col. Wright had us to tear down the fences,
throwing some of the rails across the road to pie
vent the advance ot Cavalry or Artillery ; tbrow-
ing many of the rails into the ditches to pre
vent the enemy from occupying them as rift"
pits. Two farm houses that were near our line of
battle, were burned to the ground that the enemy
might not be sheltered by them. These prepara
tions, and the disposition of- our troops as well as
the wise selection of the ground, evidenced great
generalship in Col Wright
. The remaining five companies of our regiment
were held as a reserve under Col Reid and Major
Lee. While preparing fur action, the Cavalry
Company. Capt Gillette, who were on picket duty
at this point, were sent forward to recononitre.
1’hey returned reporting the enemy l.j miles oft.
steadily advancing.
At 11^ o'clock the column of the enemy ap
peared in sight, and our Artillery opened upon
them, to which they readily responded. ihe
fight continued for about three hours wiih Artille
ry before they came, in musket range. This they
eventually did, when we opened with musketry
and continued the fight till nearly five o'clock in
the afternoon. Win 11 the musket fight was about
half over, Col Wright ordered Col. Reid to bring
Company G. tinder command of 1st Lieut. ('
.Snead, into action to the support of our left wing
which was done gallantly with loud huzzahs f.wu
our btave boys, 'ihe enemy attacked 11s more
heavily on the left, and soon afrer the musketry
opened, Company D, was ordered trom its pesi
lion on the right, to the support of the left wing;
and were placed with the right of the company
resting upon the road and Artillery—subject alike
to the fire of tiie entire line of musketry and the
enemy’s Artillery. When the musketry commen
ced, our entire linejwere thrown into a small ditch,
outside the fence, which served as a rifle pit. Ihe
enemy were deployed across our entire front,
sheltered as they could be by ditches, trees and
fences—and were in the woods on our right and
left. The 9th New York Regiment of Zouaves,
formed in the center of the fieid, some three hun
dred yards from our lines, to charge our battery
of Artillery. As they charged our entire line and
Artillery opened upon them and they were checked
before they advanced twenty steps, scattering
them in every direction.
From til
erals, they
When it was discovered that they were flanking
us, we were ordered to fall back to our entrench
ments near South Mills, which we did under cover
of our reserve under Col. Reid and Major Lee.
The force that contended against us were the 9th
and 89th N. Y. Regiments, the 51st Pennsylvania
Regiment, the 21st Massachusetts Regiments the
fitli and 26th New Hampshire Regiments, under
command of Brig. Gen. Reno
Knowing the numbers <>f the enemy, Col. Wright
sent to Gen. Blanchard four times during the day for
reinforcements and ammunition. To these dispatches,
at 9 o’clock at night, Col- Wright had received no re
ply. The c >minnndirig officers were called to a Coun
cil of War, and they determined, because of the num
bers of the enemy and our own small numbers; the
scarcity of ammunition and the prospect of not being
reinforced, with the knowledge tlint they could
Hank ns easily, while engaging ns in front, to
fall back till we received reinforcements and nmnui
nition, or dispatch from Gen. Blachard promising
such,
During the night through mud and rain we fell
back. During Saturday night and on Sunday we re
ceived reinforcements, and immediately returned to
this place, and the scene, of conflict.
As soon as the fight was over, the Yankees com
menced carrying their wounded and killed to their
Gunboats, and during the night made safe their own
retreat; leaving the wounded and dead of our Regi
ment that lmd fallen into their hands upon the field,
with a Surgeon and four nurses who fell intoour hands.
Our loss was small. Capt McComas of the Artil
lery was killed. Two men of company G were killed;
one from company B ; one from company L; one of
company F. who belonged to the band, but who was
lighting in line with company D. There were IT
wounded, most of them very slightly. Many of the
hoys had balls put through their clothing and caps.
Lieut. Wilson of Company C, was wounded in the
knee and fell into the hands "f the enemy ; but wax
recaptured bv us. The 4 ankees left from CO to 80
of their dead, buried upon the field. We have in-
way of estimating their loss in wounded; but from
what the prisoners ray, judge thut it must be very
great. We have a number of them ns prisoners, and
are still bringing them in. Wc captured 150(1 lbs. of
powder, which was brought along, no doubt, to blow
up the locks on this canal; with a quantity of fixed
ammunition, arms, equipments, Ac. .
1 don’t suppose that there 1ms been a battle during
the war where we had to contend against such odds,
and did it so successfully. It is strange to think ol
314 men. all that we had in the fight besides the Ar
tillery, keeping six of the best Yankee Regiments in
checktor five hours; and whipping them so badly
that they bad to seek their Gunboats under cover of
night, leaving mtny of their wounded, many arms
amt equipments, ami much ammunition to lull into
our hands. „ ,
The boys fought gallantly, and ns coolly as .r they
had been tlie heroes of a hundred battles. 'Ilw-y are
•in fine spirits; and retiled fuun the field that after
noon with reluctance, but their confidence in Col.
Wright made them obey promptly all ordeis
We area'll well pleased with our late success and
are gratified that our conduct In*" met the full ap
proval of our commanders. Gen. Huger, 111 a dis
patch on Monday, said. "The Georgians have cover
ed themselves with glory.”
Yours affectionately,
The Crop*.
We are delighted to hear our farmers say that
the Wheat has improved so much, ns to warrant
an average crop. V\ e heard a farmer say last
week, that he would have taken two weeks ago,
51\ bushels of wheat for his entire crop, and that he
now expected to make 25 ) bushels. The Oats are
somewhat injured but are not so bad as they were
thought to be. Pretty good stands of corn are
found in this section As to Cotton, very little is
planted. Three or four met}, whose names are on
everybody'8 tongue, have planted average crops
of cotton, which, if spared by heaven, wo l.ope
may be destroyed by man. if the rains aro pro
pitions wc shall make an abunda ncl
ty, despite the efforts of the Cotton
us out of house, homo and country.
W’e hope our fanners will not stop planting
c 0 -n peas and potatoes, because the small grain
crops, are improving. We are in great danger
from a drought this smuttier, which may cutoff
the corn Crop one half or two thirds. In that
event, we shall he in a sad way. Plant peas, pota
toes, ground-peas, turnips and everything else
that man or beast can eat. If we are not starved
out, the Yankees can never whip us.
XStoofly Afl'rny,
A most deplorable affair came off" at Treanor’s
Mill in this county 8 miles from this city, on Sat
urday morning last, in which John Lahee and his
fat her--in-law Jessee Balcom, lost their lives.—
The facts as we hear them, are these. A man
named Evans had a difficulty with Lahee. about a
transaction at the mill of which Lahee —r—
intendent. During the quarrel between Evans
and Lahee, Balcom seized a maul and. struck
Evans across the back, and drawed back to strike
him on the head, when Evans evaded the blow,
which fell with great force on Lahee’s head. The
maul dropped from Baleom’s hands, when Evans
seized it aud struck Balcom, killing him instant
ly. Lahee lived some hours after he was struck,
though insensible until he died. Lahee was a
good, quiet citizen, and his sudden and sad death
is much deplored by many friends who were strong
ly attached to him. Evans we understand voi-
ultarily gave himself up to the Sheriff.

Mr. Ramsay’s house in Midway was eutered last

and two of his sons who were sleeping in an up

watch and heavy chain and a valuable pistol,
which they left in their pockets, and on the Bu

“fioi Bmwm and Cue Ail.''
; Messrs. Editors of the Southern Federal Union 1
In your last paper you announced to the pubiiCi
that Gov Brown when notified by the Secretary cf
M ar of the passage of the Conscription Act, yield
ed to 1 lie necessity. Ac., rather than have an
j open conflict in the face of the enemy ; but, “he
: however piomptly notified ti*e President that he
j considered the ait a violation of the Constitution
j ot the Confederate States, and a severe blow it
I <he rights of tlie States,” &e !! How strange the
[charge! aud how inauspicious and inopportune
the circumstances and time for making it!!
Gov. Brown thinks the Conscription Act, un
constitutional and violative of the "rights of the
States" in this—that the States, are denied the re-
servi d right of appointing officers tor the militia,
when called forth, or employed, in the service of
the Coil" derate States! and cites the militia
c ause of the Constitution which has no applica
tion, as I will show. The term militia, is used in
the Constitution, in contradistinction to army or
navy, as is shown by the separate and independ
ent paragraphs. The Militia is the body of the peo
ple—it is neither the army or nary. The Con
scription Act, violates no rights of the States,
or of the Governor, to appoint officers for
the militia. The Congress of the Confederate
States has neither called forth, organized, armed
or disciplined the militia—but under the 11th,
12th aud 13th paragraphs of the Sth Sec. 1st Ar
ticle of the Constitution, Congress derives the ex
press power to declare war, to raise and support
armies, to provide and maintain a navy, and to
make rules for the government and regulation of
ihe land and naval forces These clauses, are sep
arate and distinct from the militia clause—aud it
is under the clause, to raise and support armies,
that the power to pass the Conscription Act is
given. What, right 01 authority, then have the
.States, under the militia clause, to appoint offi
cers to our army, raised and supported by Con
gress ! As well might the Governor contend that
the States have the right to appoint officers for the
navy!! The States reserved to themselves the
appointment of officers to the militia alone. But
no militia have been called forth from Georgia !
I have shown that the militia is neither the army
or nary—I have shown that Congress has power
to raise and support armies, and to Hie raising and
supporting an army, is the Incident pov.cr, to ap
point its officers, for without officers, you have
neither organization or an army. But it is sing
ularly sltangs that Gov. Brown while holding the
Ccnseription Act to be unconstitutional permits tie-
private soldiers who are conscripts, to be enrolled
and marched to their camps or .regiments ; hut as
sumes the authority of ercmpting the officers of t:.e
militia from its operation! But officers, His Ex
cellency holds, are necessary to instruct the militia
It is not necessary that they should be between
the ages of 18 and 35 ! An officer at 30, 40 or 50,
is full young for home defence ; and I presume
there is patriotism enough in this class of our cit
izens to till all vacancies.
As a representative from Georgia, I gave a cor
dial support to this conscript bill—and I feel that
a brief statement of the facts, will successfully de
fend it. In the language of its preamble, it was
passed—“In view of the exigencies of the country,
and the absolute necessity of keeping in the service
our gallant army, aud of placing in the field a
large additional force to meet the advancing col
umns of the enemy now invading our soil.” In
order that the merits and necessity of this bill may
be properly appreciated. Keep in view the facts,
that t wo-thirds of our troops were tirelcc months
volunteers, whose term of service expired this
spring—that the enemy, with a knowledge of this
fact, was deferring his operations in certain quar
ter. until our t ice Ice months men should be mus
tered out ol service—that at these poiuts, he was
concentrating large additional forces. These
facts give you a brief view of the exigencies of the
country, to guard which, ilio Conscription Act was
passed—the object being, to provide for the im
pending exigencies, by keeping the licclce months
men in the field, by filling up uur skeleton rrgi-
incuts which have been -greatly reduced by the
casualties of war and the camp, aud to place the
conscripts immediately in disciplined regiments
and under experienced officers—in short, to dis
pense with the further raising of new, raw and in
experienced regiments, and rendering efficient, by
numbers and drill, the regiments already in the
field. We have about five hundred regiments in
service—by conscripts, you keep them full, and
the conscripts by being drilled with experienced
troops, are soon efficient soldiers. All must ad
mit, that the-live hundred regiments which we
have in the field, when filled to their capacity, are
amply up to our ability. Why then, as Governor
Brown holds, place new and additional regiments
in the fiield, instead of filling up the reduced reg
iments ? By this course, your army will be mote
efficient aud less expensice. Can. Gov. Brown de
vise a plan or scheme, by which lie could have held
the twelve months troops in the field, or have
filled ii]i the thin aud reduced regiments, other
volunteers, 1 ask if lie would have furnished them
in new regiments ! To ho consistent, lie will of
course, an.-wer, that he wouid have furnished the
troops by new regiments, thus leaving the old aud
most efficient regiments to dwindle down to two
or three hundred privates, with full lists of offi
cers I
i have briefly given you my defenco. Estimate
if you can, the disaster that would have resulted
to out cause, from the twelve months troops
(which composed two thirds of our army) being
mustered out of service and going home, upon a
twenty or thirty days furlough, in the tace of
heavy and rapidly concentrating columns of the
enemy ! And what think you was the course of
the twelve months volunteers, when they were
told that absolute necessity required the conscrip
tion act? Gallant Georgians, Virginians, Missis-
sippians, Alabamians, Texans, and alt gave up the
fond anticipation of the furlough visit and with
the patriotic heart of the soldier, are standing by
their "tins ! Do their brothers and neighbors at
home, who have rendered no service, complain ot
the Conscription Act ! Not a murmur trow the
private is heard when he understands the terms ot
ihe.Conscript Act: for he seeii that by the act. he
is placed under experienced officers, and with
drilled troops ; and he soon learns that the dis
cipline of experience, is his protection.
In conclusion, permit me to ask. if you think
the objects of the Conscription Act, were unconsti
tutional and. violative of "State rights''1 and will
you suggest to your readers any other plan for fill
ing up our declining regiments ? I will not at
this time, trouble you farther with an argument
upon the constitutionality of the Conscription Act.
We arc, now in this dark 1 our of our struggle for
liberty, lighting to whip and to achieve the right
of the 'Confederate States to separate from the
North—that difficulty over, we will soon adjust
the question arising under “State rights " Let
us not yet, stand separate as the waves, but one
as the ocean! When we have whipped the fight,
aud won the right to be States, we can then insert
upon the questions among the States and their
Confederate Government. Any other course will,
render nugatory and powerless the efficiency of
your Congress and President whom you have
charged with conducting this war, aim substitute
the separate, conflicting and inharmonious “State
right" views of the thirteen Governors of the Con
federate States ! Let us remember that the issue
upon which we are fighting, is between North and
South. Liberty and deliverance or subjugation, will
be the result of the conflict. State rights will be
easily adjusted, when we establish the right to hate
States'. Let the Governors of the Confederate
States, remember that the Constitution does not
charge them, wi h the duty or power of raising ar
mies or conducting this war—and let them re
in ml.er that inliaimonious action or refusing to
co-operate in the measures of the Confederate
Government certainly does not add to the popular
zeal or give proper encouragement to our gallant
soldiers in the field.
Very Respectfully,
A. H. KENAN.

FROM CORINTH.
[From the Savannah Republican]
Corinth, May 5, A. M.—All remains quiet at this
pointto-day. The enemy is moving large forces on our
right. They tore up the track of the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad yesterday, at a point ten miles
east of Corinth. The object oi'the movement, is prob
ably. to try and reach the Mobile road south of us, and
cut off men and supplies in that quarter. Beauregard
is on the alert, and has sent an adequate force to de
feat their plans.
Col. Scott, of the Louisiana Cnvalry, burnt the
railroad bridge over Limestone, between Decatur and
Huntsville, Thursday last. He also captured two Yan
kee provision trains, burnt twenty cars, and killed
and wounded thirty-four Federals. lie also engaged
the enemy’s cavalry on Friday, at Elk river, and
repulsed them through half his men had crossed the
river and were not in the fight. lie killed thirty, five
of the Federals. The Confederate loss on the expedi
tion was fourtecu killed, five wouuded, and twelve
horses.
The weather is clear hut the Roads are in shocking
condition
A battle car.notbe deferred, however.
Col. Adams, of the Federal Army who was captured
by our scouts on Saturday, says the Northern Army
must tight soon, or become wholly demoralized. The
men are uneasy about the climate and sickness,
and don’t want to go further south.
C"l. Morgan (the famous Captain Morgan) has just
been heard from. Ho fought, defeated, and captured,
a Federal force of 268. ami then captured the whole
party,at Pulaski, Tennessee, lie subsequently dischar
ged the prisoners on their parole, and then destroyed
several railroad trains loaded with Federal property.

and drove him from his position, several miles.

MORE FROM CORINTII.
Mobile, 10th.—The special correspondent of the
Mobile Advertiser says that he has jast returned
from the front. The Federals were driven across
Seven Mile Creek this morning, running like
sheep. It appears that Pope's division alone oe
copied Farmington, while Halleck with the main
body is still on the river. Confederate loss slight.
The Federals retreated si rapid that we were nil-
able to capture many prisoners. Price and Van
Dorn led tho attack We captured the Telegraph
office at Farmington. The Confederates aie re
turning to Corinth.
It is reported that the Confederate forces are
operating down the Tennessee, and have captured
a large number of prisoners and a large amount
of propel iy at Paris and Paducah.

Richmond, May 7.—An official letter from Gen

affair at, Williamsburg on Monday last. The en
emy attacked our rear guard in great force and
were driven back to the woods, about a mile. The
troops principally engaged on our side were Long-
street’s and Suait’s brigades.
A report is current on the sireets this morn

prisoners. This report is traced to a soldier who
arrived this morning from below, and affirmed that

V The language of the Conscription Act
lately passed 6y Congress is general ami em
braces the. Opicers of the Militia of the States
as well as I In j 1 iVi'lfM Uni 1J11 il in 1 having by
the 16th paragraph of the 8th Section of the 1st
Article of the Constitution of the Confederate
States expressly referred to themselves not only the
appointment of the Officers of the Militia when em
ployed in the service uf the Confederate States ; but
eich State having also reserved to herself the au
thority of training her own militia according to
the discipline prescribed by Congress—which can
not be done without officers—and there being no
vacancy that can bo filled by another in case an
officer of the Militia is carried out of the Stale as
a “Conscript” without his consent, which if done
generally, would entirely destroy the Military or
ganization of the State and prevent her from ex
ercising her reserved authority of training her mi
litia at a timo when the safety of her people abso
lutely requires that this should be done to prevent
internal insurrections, that may occur at any mo
ment without strict military police regulations—
therefore the Cotnmai der-in-Ohiet, after careful
consideration of this question, holds, that the Con
scription Law. so far as it interferes with the offi
cers of the militia in the discharge of their duties
by attempting to reduce them to the ranks, and
place them under officers in Confederate service
(by which a Major General of the militia, for in
