nd reflects credit upon the men by whom they were vanquished. We have seen officers and soldiers who have been engages in almost every one of our important battles and their uniform testimony is, that the enemy stood up to their work manfully, and proved themselves, so far as fighting qualities go worthy of a Southern soldier's steal. Were the fact otherwise, we could secretly have the assurance to at or the word of one in connection with a single victory which the South has gained. Gen. Hill in his late address to Mart Carolina soldiers on the Peninsula, after on both the words of truth and wisdom when in declared that it is idle to dispute the courage on the enemy, but that it is the had cause and the conscienceless of being an aggressor upon the soil and rights of others, that unnerving his arm and actually makes him a party to his own defeat.

e, the opportune time shall have arrived to advance and exterminate the vile hirelings occupying this soil. Grand review at Bowling Green. A correspondent of the Pulaski (Tenn.) Citizen thus writes from Bowling Green, under a recent date: Yesterday we had a grand review of the regiments at this place. About 9 o'clock we were mustered out into a field about two miles from the encampment, when our brigade of Tennessean, consisting of Cols Brown's Palmer's, Lillard's Martin's, and Hill's regiments, were drawn up in a line. When Buckner and his aids rode in front and rear, he remarked to Col. Brown that he might well be proud of his regiment. Charles Johnson, one of Gen. B's aids, said that he could take half our regiment and whip Rousseau's brigade. I had a fair view of Gen. Buckner as he road along the line.

of the Supreme Court of Georgia in the Impressment case. The Atlanta (Georgia) papers tell of an interesting judicial decision rendered by the Supreme Court of that State in an impressment case. Major Cummings, under instructions from the Secretary of War, seized most of the sugar in Atlanta, Georgia, for the use of the Government, allowing therefore the sum of seventy-five cents per pound, the price fixed by the Impressment Commissioners of that State. The parties represented by Cox & Hill refused to accept the seventy-five cents per pound as just compensation, having paid considerably over that price for the sugar. They at once commenced action against Major Cummings, and by mutual agreement between the parties a case was at once made up, presenting all the points involved — the object of both parties being fairly to the test the constitutionality and validity of the law. We quote from the Atlanta (Georgia) Confederacy: It was argued before Judge Bull, at Chambers, in th

etersburg train, due last evening at half past 6 o'clock, had not arrived up to a late hour. We learn, however, that no shells were thrown at the city yesterday, and with the exception of some artillery practice on our side, everything was quiet along the lines. The columns of smoke observed yesterday in a southerly direction were caused by the burning woods between Richmond and Falling creek. Fighting down the river. Our pickets were driven in yesterday morning between Malvern-Hill and New Market, on the north side of the James, and heavy skirmishing was kept up during the day, with no particular advantage to either party. Grant's entire force of cavalry was crossed to the north side of the river. The heavy firing heard down the river on Saturday was caused by an engagement between the enemy's gunboats and our iron-clads, in which our land batteries participated. The enemy, it appears, had commenced cutting a canal across the narrow neck of land formed by a bend
