The Howitzers. --Lieut. H. C. Carter, of the 3d company of Richmond Howitzers, has arrived in this city as recruiting officer for that fine corps. It will be remembered that the Howitzer battalion was in the battle of Big Bethel, the first land engagement between the Confederates and Yankees, and contributed perhaps more than any other of our forces to inflict the terrible chastisement which the invader received on that memorable day. Less, however, we could not expect of them, knowing ass, however, we could not expect of them, knowing as we did the materials of which they were composed. A finer corps, whether in point of courage, intelligence, or gentility, does not exist in the army, and all persons desirous of joining this branch of the service, and of becoming associated with men whom at all times they would feel proud to call their companions, should at once avail themselves of this opportunity of doing so. Lieut. Carter's advertisement will be found in another column.

e situation becomes interesting and precarious; a four pas and the day will be lost. General Field rapidly masses his troops to meet the enemy, and our whole line is in commotion. On our right and front the enemy's skirmishers press close to our lines, and our infantry have all moved to the left. We are without protection, and we must fight hard or else the hill is lost. We open a rapid fire upon the enemy, and, in the meantime, withdraw our "right section," under the command of Lieutenant H. C. Carter, and send it off at a "double-quick" to the left. Not one moment too soon did it arrive on the left, for the enemy were pressing us closely.
