On the 16th aliout sunrise the enemy advanc ed driving in our line of skir mishers in disorder, killing Wm. Tidd and I. T. II. Smith. I re treated back through a deep ditch that went back to our line. The euemy did not charge onr lines, but advanced some nearer than onr pickets were, and began shell ing us heavy. I was ordered to take tbe place of a picket, station ed 15 or 20 |>aces from our breast works, who had run in at the time of the shelling. I went, but had never gone to a place I haled to go worse, as I had no idea of get ting hack alive, feeling sure the shells would get me, but thank God I got back safe. After awhile the firing ceased to a great extent, though fighting was still going on, to onr right, some fresh troops having arrived and gone over there. We remained here all day and nearly all night, leaving jnat before day, and falling back half ibcearlh considerably, and killing a good many of oar men. They then charged our line so soon af ter the explosion that some ot the dirt fell on them. 1 was where I could see them marching in lino of battle to our line, hut two lines were in and fighting almost by the time I saw them. They captured about half a miieof our works and held them until 3 o'clock when we companion weut to the woods and slop|>ed. It was night, and that was the reason we did not want to go hack. We remained iu Hie woods till sometime in the night, wliea we heard troops marching, and on going lo see found that it was our soldiers going hack to Petersburg; so we went along and found our command in the city, and camped till morning. Tliese brigades captured aliout 2,500 prisoners in this fight. Our com- pauy had two wounded, Lieuten- auls Teat and Cody. We went back next day to onr same old po sition on Mortar Hill, remaining here until the 2‘Jth of September. Wc failed to drive the enemy from the Weldon railroad, and left them in possession, much to our disad vantage. Our company lost only four by death, during the year 1864, which was quite light.

Leroy A. Jester is a sub stanlial farmer of Glcnalla, Tay lor county. A few days ago be s.iid: Eleven years ago w hen I moved to Glenaita I was $1,000 in debt. I could have plowed ail the land I owned with a steer. The first year I farmed I did not use anr fertilizers, and made about a b:Je of cotton to seven acres of laud, ami about six bush els of corn to the acre. The next year 1 used guano and did better. By using from 100 to to 150 pounds per acre it was not long before my land produced a bale of cotton to two or two and a half acres, and I made from twelve to fifteen bushels of corn without aov trouble. I find that Lite more guano 1 use, the more Davy Crockett's Ban. The reporter had the picasnre of handling Colonel Davy Crock ett’s old grin yesterday. It was in the state treasurer's offlee. where It had been left hv “Colonel lioli,” Davy's grandson, now in the Arkansas senate. The gun is a long Irarreled, silver mounted affair, and along the top of the barrel, in gold letters, reads the inscription: “Presented by lire young men of Philadelphia to Hon. David Crockett, of Tennes see.” Near the muzzle, just back of tbe bead, Was tbe Coloners motto: “Go Ahead.” Many of the letters were so worn as to be almost indistinguishable, and some of them were gone complete ly. The gun has come down fmra sire to son in the Crockett family ever since it was presented in 1834. To the re|>orter “Colonel Bob,’’ who now owns the gun, said: “There is not a gun in Arkansas to day which will shoot truer. I killed hundreds of deer w ith it, and think more of it than I can tell. My grandlather left it at home when lie went to Texas, taking with him his old Hint-lock, it is a rare old gun, and a great curiosity. I have been requested to send it lo the exposition at New Orleans, and shall do so in a short time.”—Little Hock Ga zette. The liix.d UU Uotiiers. God bless all the good old moth ers. I never see an old lady sit ting i»the arm chair at her ease but I think what storms have pelted into that cheery face with out souring it. It may lie that a man can go through more exer tion Ilian a woman, hut at least it remains true that lie cannot with out losing h : s laughter, his good cheer, his gentleness and his love and trust in mankind or God, Yet how rarely do you find a frail old mother whost^pirit has been worn threadbare and unlovely by what she has endured. A sweet old mother is common; a sweet old father is not so common. As thy day so thy strength of love, thy riches of an inexhaustible benevolence ami hope and failb.
