d and gallant for, is of course more honorable than to vanquish an irresolute and cowardly enemy. What glory is there in putting Chinese to rout? We never hear much English laudation of the conduct of their troops in China. If one English regiment pate to frighten thousand Chinamen, it is taken as a matter of course, and the soldiers themselves would blush if they were complimented for their services. When we praise our Southern soldiers for the victories at Bethel, Ball Run, Manaces, Springfield, Lexington. Ganley, Cheat Mountain our praise is only insult if we assert that it was only a three of cowards whom they defeated. Whilst it is obvious to every one that the Yankees are not as military a people as the people of the South--and we do not believe, with the exception of the French, there is each a nation of soldiers anywhere on the face of the earth as the Southern people — whilst their conduct at every other particular of this war has been a as rascally as in well could

Bledsoe, who had been wounded at Big Dry-Wood, was gallantly commanded by Capt. Emmett McDonald,) and by Parson's battery, under the skillful command of Capt. Guibor. Finding after sunset that our ammunition, the most of which had been left behind on the march from Springfield, was nearly exhausted, and that my men, thousands of whom had not eaten a particle in 36 hours, required rest and food, I withdrew to the Fair Ground and encamped there. My ammunition wagons having been at last brought up, and large reinforcements having been received, I again moved into town on Wednesday, the 18th inst., and began the final attack upon the enemy's works. Brig. Gen. Rains's division occupied a strong position on the east and northeast of the fortifications, from whi
