been hurried; but it is quite tqual in that respect
to newspaper maps in general, while in its gen

Ac Mobile K gister, while a Texas regiment at

regiment doing outpost duty, one of Grant’s
masked butteries of tour pieces wus opened on it.
Within a few minutes about one hundred and
forty were kilted and wounded. Tbe Texans were
so incensed that they rushed pell mell Inward the
enemy end captured the bait *ry and filteen of tbe

they harnessed themselves to tbe cannon and
brought them safely into our lines. This is tbe

ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.
The Atlanta Confederacy says that seven Yan
kees, under sentence of death for passing conter
feit Confederate notes, came very near escaping
from tbe jail in that city on Tuesday night. A
suspicion of their purpose having arose, Lieut.
Barnes went to tbo room in which they were con
flned, and on trying the bars to tbe window,—
tbougb they looked “all right,” be found two of
them sawed off, and held ia their place with a
little bard soap. Os examination, be found tba
they bad a handsaw file, part of a gur. lock, a
case knife made into a saw, and a long thread at.
tached to a couple of boiler rivets. They also had
three chair paste, to be used as weapons to flight
their way out. Ail these things were concealed
in their pillows. Tb. Confederacy pertinently
asks—how they got these articles ?
We learn through a private it tier that company
K, 20th Oa. regiment, had eight men slightly
wounded, and four caplared in -tbo battls of Get»
tgsburg.

THE FIGHT AT JACKSON.
The charge of the enemy on one of our batteries
at Jackson on Monday, and their terrible repulse,
illustrates the spirit which should now animate
our soldiers and citiienj everywhere. All ac
counts concur that the fight was desperate, and
thattne position was sustained with fearful los?
to the enesry. The Yankees who were captured
in making the charge, and, subsequently passed
through ob their way to Richmond, describe it as
a desperate hand to hand engagement, in which
our troupe were trmmphant. Tory state that out
boys cut the throats ot number* ol their men with
pocket knives. This mar be a Yankee lie for
tffect, but we trust it is so. Things have bow
come to that pass when ne cannot afford to bc
punctilious about tbe weep >ns us ; id to kill our
invading toes. Whatever can be found readiest
at hand and will quickest accomplish the work,
mast be plunged into their hearts without i.
moment's hesitation There has been too much
noble Southern blood spilled for us nor to be

Hi. A \ llt T Ur. t
We do out desire, in the few lines we are about
to write, to create in the community any undue
excitemeot, but to sp ak plainly in the way of ad*
monition. The negroes of this city have ol late,
by their actions, assumed aa effrontery and inic
pr.deuce that is positively unbearable. A white
man is beneath the notice of these descendants of
Africa, and our wires and daughters are insulted
ob the streets, and in the Cars and omnibuses by
both male and female negroes. Before comment*
ing further, we will notice two lustsnces that oc
curred yesterduy. Iu the afternoon the wife o
one of our prominent ci»>a*nn, while promenad
ing Fourth stre t, near Vive, was elbowed by a
negress, dressed gaudily in sillt and lace. r J bt
ladytt.ua shored looked back for aa apology
but was met by a sneer and a laugh of triumph
at the achievement the wench hau made.
Again, lasi night a negro barber on the corner
of Race aud Sixth streets chased a white mar
out of his saloon tor a pretended insult, and pur
sued him, with an uplifted club, io College street,
where he knocked L.m t.own and struck mm »ev*»
*ral oertre blows on the oack of the head, ano
left him aensrlehs and bleeding ou the todewa k
and then walked back fl innahiag bis cane, sd*
exclaiming: “I made the d—d clog hue toe du*
ibat limel’* All ibis time there ware no watc .
mo.', nsar, n*r were any arrests maoa. These ait
□ot tbe ouly insults that are occurring consian'ly
n our midst, and it :s high time that the negroes.

I PORT HI Dso.V
[ The telegraph confirms the report of the cspiU
ulatian of Port Hudson, brought to the city by
passengers yesterday. The event took place on
the 9b 1 uHt., and starvation is said to have ne- '
cessitated a surrender.
We have privale information that the force sur*
rendered bv Gen. Gardner was a little less than
five thousand men. With Ibis small force he has
beaten back Banks* concentrated army two whole
mouths, and iilloted upon it losses much greater
than tbe number ol the besieged. Bunks has
been calling loudly for reinforcements for seine
time, and tbe Yankee reperts say Grant sent him
thirty thousand. Ot course these were unneces*
sary—famine had done the work. Ii is to be re*
