As the enemy alvRuces into the heart of our country, lie can be . spied more effectually by a descent upon his wagon t-mis, than by pitched battles. Prisoners are of no ■ ■—tons.

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.

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. 1,00k out for Kobbrr* anil TEiierr*. Mr. Ramsay’s house in Midway was eutered last Wednesday night, between 2 o’clock and sunrise, and two of his sons who were sleeping in an up per room were robbed of some $54, a fine gold watch and heavy chain and a valuable pistol, which they left in their pockets, and on the Bu reau. These things occur so often of late in our vicinity that it behooves us to exercise more vigi lance in vvatchiug for such villaihs that they may be brot to condign punishment. See advertisement. “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.

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.

Adams, of the Federal Army who was captured by our scouts on Saturday, says the Northern Army must tight soon, or become wholly demoralized.
