the extreme right of the line, and ordered to advance toward the Potomac River. Moving forward, we took position commanding the ford, remained under a heavy artillery fire until night, and were then ordered back to camp. Colonel R. W. Folsom, Fourteenth Georgia regiment, Lieutenant-Colonel J. R. Manning, Forty-ninth Georgia regiment, and Major W. L. Grice, Forty-fifth Georgia regiment, led their commands with a skill and gallantry highly honorable to them. Major Lewis Ginter, Lieutenant William Norwood, of the staff, and Lieutenant John Tyler, acting Aid-de-camp, performed their duties with gallantry on the field, and I take this occasion to acknowledge their valuable services to me. With few exceptions, the officers and men of this command conducted themselves on the field in a manner highly honorable to them. Their courage, their cheerful obedience to orders, and their patient endurance of hardships, cannot be commended too highly. I have the honor to be, Major, With

n front of the work, and the most daring of the assailants recognized that an army of such metal would not easily yield the inner lines. The detachment from Lane's brigade was commanded by Lieutenant George H. Snow, 33d North Carolina. There were also in the fort some supernumerary artillerymen, armed as Infantry, a section of Chew's Maryland battery, and small detachments from Harris' Mississippi brigade (under Lieutenant-Colonel Duncan), and from Thomas' Georgia brigade (under Captain William Norwood). The error of attributing this brilliant defence to Harris' brigade alone, doubtless arose from Lieutenant-Colonel Duncan of that brigade being the ranking officer in the fort. The incident of the wounded men loading and passing up the muskets to their comrades, is attested by officers in the fort, but I learn from General Lane's Ms. Report that, the ammunition giving out, the men used rocks with great effect. General Lane's report should by all means be published. On that n

And how does the proscription of a man in any way for obnoxious opinions differ from the most glaring tyranny? In the New Yorker of July 16th, 1836, may be seen, at the head of a long list of recent marriages, the following interesting announcement: In Immanuel church, Warrentown, North Carolina, on Tuesday morning, 5th inst., by Rev. William Norwood, Mr. Horace Greeley, editor of the New Yorker, to Miss Y. Cheney, of Warrentown, formerly of this city. The lady was by profession a teacher, and to use the emphatic language of one of her friends, crazy for knowledge. The acquaintance had been formed at the Graham House, and was continued by correspondence after Miss Cheney, in the pursuit of her vocation, had removed to North Carolina. Thither the lover hied; the two became one, and returned together to New York. They were ma

Remember that it is written in the good Book, "He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord, and that which he hath given will He pay him again." Something even better than that is written to stimulate us to activity and liberality in the cause of benevolence: "Blessed is he that considereth the poor, the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble."
