A Yankee Spelling-book. We have received from the publishers, Messrs. Toon & Co., of Atlanta, Georgia, a spelling-book, which we regret to be compelled to denounce as unworthy of public favor. It is, as the author, Mr. Fleming, admits, a revised edition of Webster's Spelling-Book — in other words, it is a Yankee school-book. It is the duty of the Southern press to unite in putting it down. Mr Fleming tells us in his preface that no better spelling-book than Dr. Webster's has ever been d by pronouncing dew doo, and cow keow. In truth, it would be well for us to have an entirely new language, unknown and unpronounceable in Yankee land. We must have new coins, new weights, new measures, as unlike Yankee coins, weights, etc., as possible. We must be a distinct people in every thing, or else we will never be independent. At all events, we must not be duped with a Yankee spellingbook, such as Mr. Fleming and Messrs. Toon and Co. are attempting to palm upon us.--Richmond Whig.

The temporary silence of the battery enabled the division to move up in fine style, and turn the tide of battle in our favor. Tn and pride. Having sustained a loss of seventy killed and two hundred and two wounded in this charge, which was temporarily successful, the enemy soon returned in larger force, and this regiment, having no supports, retired, under orders from Major Toon, to the cover of the wood out of which it had charged. Colonel Wade, Twelfth North Carolina, conducted his regiment with coolness and discretion. Colonel Christie, Twenty-third North Carolina, had the misfortune to be wounded, in the succes
