ed. They were accustomed to creeping through bushes, dodging behind trees, and taking dead sight at will along their long barrels, and this accounts for the terrible execution suffered by the enemy. While on this subject I cannot for bear from alluding to the importance of an organized corps of sharp-shooters, and we have the best material for the purpose in the world. The enemy have set the example, and we know its results to our profound regret in the loss of the gallant Johnston, McCulloch, McIntosh, and others. These sharp-shooters during a battle do nothing but pick off the leading officers, and panic once produced by the fall of these, the day is won. A party of the Texan Rangers, during the late fight, dismounted and with their rifles crept forward in squads, and did murderous work upon the enemy by cutting down their best men. It is by one of these that Buell is said to have been severally wounded if not killed as either he or some other distinguished officer was seen

o what base uses may we com at last." A Virginian at Elkhorn. The following is a copy of a letter written by Gen. Van-Dorn to Col. Jordan, A. A. General on the staff of Gen. Beauregard, referring to the good conduct of Lieut. Leftwich, of Lynchburg, Va.: Headquarters Army of the Mississippi, Memphis, Tenn, April 21, 1862. Colonel — I regret to find that in my report of the battle of Elkhorn no mention was made of the excellent conduct of Lieut. W. L. C. Leftwich, of Gen. McCulloch's Staff. After exhibiting great courage and energy during the engagement of that Division, he joined my Staff, and rendered me very great assistance during the action of the 8th. I desire to bring him to your notice as a gallant and meritorious young officer. I am, Colonel, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Earl Van-Dorn, Major General. Lieut, Leftwich is now established in the office of the Chief of Ordnance of General Van- Dorn's Division, at Memphis. A rem

directions over the country for miles. Pickett's Brigade. This gallant brigade was engaged again on Monday evening, as we learn from a member of the 18th, Colonel Withers's regiment. It behaved with more than its usual gallantry. We have not been able to understand the exact number of wounded and killed in either the 8th, 18th, 19th, or 28th regiments composing it; but our informant, who is a member of the 18th, represents it as necessarily very large. Among the wounded is Adjutant McCulloch of the 18th, who has distinguished himself without being injured on the fields of Manassas, Williamsburg, the 1st of June, on Friday last, and seemed to bear a charmed life. He fell wounded most painfully in the arm. So cut up is this regiment by the four battles in which it has been engaged that it is now commanded by Captain Holland, of the Danville Blues, the second ranking captain in the regiment. Col. R. E. Withers. The many friends of this gallant officer will be glad t

ry heavy; but we have good grounds for believing that their slaughter is without precedent in the present war; and some declare it to have been as many as seven to one. One report says that the enemy were completely dispersed and many of them were retreating in the direction of Leesburg and Edwards's Ferry. Among the casualties reported are the following: Col. Moore, Col. Glover, and Capt. Seabrook, of Jenkins's brigade, wounded; in the 18th Virginia, Lieut, Col. A. J. Carrington, Adjutant McCulloch, Sergeant Major Price, Captains Booker and Irby, Lieutenants Glenn, Paxton, Jackson, and Watkins, wounded, in the 11th Virginia, Lieut. Campbell, killed and Lieut, Houston, wounded. Gen. Early is reported to have been wounded, but remained on the field until he fainted. Col. Patton of the 7th Virginia was wounded. There is a report to the effect that the 1st and 11th Virginia regiments captured a battery of four pieces and a similar report with reference to the 7th and 24th. Th

Movements of Yankee cavalry is Northern Mississippi, &c. Jackson, June 11. --A special dispatch to the Mississippian, dated Panois, 10th, says that a body of Yankee cavalry, 1,000 strong, under Col. Hatch, passed Holly Springs on Monday, going south. Another Grierson raid is contemplated. Col. McCulloch, with the 2d Missouri cavalry, attacked the enemy 28 miles south of Memphis on Monday and put them to rout.

Official report of the attack on Milliken's Bend. Gen. McCulloch has made an official report of the attack on Milliken's Bend, which has so often been stated to be in our hands. The following is an extract of the report. On yesterday we again met the enemy in force at Milliken's Bend, on the bank of the Mississippi river, under the protection of his gunboats. His pickets, skirmishers, and outposts were steadily driven from ditch to ditch, and hedge to hedge, until he fell behind his breast works, at which he made a stubborn and desperate stand, but which were carried by our troops with an impetuous charge not excelled since the war commenced. In this charge the regiments of Colonel Wasterhouse, Allan, and Fitzhugh, were the participants, until Col. Flournoy's regiment arrived and assisted in driving the enemy from his barricade, an angle in his works on our left, Col. Waterhouse, with his regiment, gallantly charging over the loves and entirely through the enemy's camp t

Though the Yankees gained nothing our loss is very heavy in boats and material of a character much needed. Com Brown scuttles and burned the Magenta, Mary Keens Magnolia, Pargoud. John Walsh, Luckland, Scotland, Golden Age, Arcadia. Kennett, Gay, Peytons, Prince of Wales, Natchez, and Parallel, in the Yazoo river, the Dew Drop, Emms Bott, Sharke, and Mears, in the Sunflower. We have only left, of all the splendid fleet which caught refuge in the Yazoo river, the Hope, Hartford City, McCulloch, and Cotton Plant, which are up the Tallahatchie and Yellobuche. The Kennett is sunk across the mouth of the Yellobuche, and the Walsh across that of the Tallahatchie. The gunboats came up the river as far as the month of the Tula river, and raided in the direction of Blackwater and Lexington. This closes the history of another strongly defended river. I am indebted to Captain Applagale, captain and owner of the Walsh, for the above interesting facts. He is on his way to Richm

in settling a question, unless the examples shall be proved to have wrought beneficially, we are at a loss to understand. We knew very well, before we ever saw this extract, that assizes of bread were common enough in many European cities. They are among the many crying evils that have descended to the present generation from mediæval times, and which the present generation is extirpating as fast as it can. That we speak nothing more or less than the truth, let the following extract from McCulloch's Commercial Dictionary--a work justly held in high esteem by statesmen as well as merchants — testify. It is to be found under the article "Bread:" "Assize of Bread.--From the year 1266, in the reign of Henry III., down to our own days, it has been customary to regulate the price at which bread should be sold according to the price of wheat or flour at the time. An interference of this sort was supposed to be necessary to prevent that monopoly on the part of the bakers which it was

The capture of Fort Pillow. The following official dispatch with reference to the capture of Fort Pillow, sixty miles above Memphis, was received at the General's office last night: Demopolis Ala., April 19. To Gen. S. Cooper: The following dispatch has just been received from Gen. Forrest, dated Jackson, Tenn., April 15th. L. Polk, Lieutenant General. "I attacked Fort Pillow on the morning of the 12th inst., with a part of Bell's and McCulloch's brigades, numbering--, under Brig. Gen. J. R. Chalmers. After a short fight we drove the enemy, seven hundred strong, into the for, under cover of their gunboats, and demanded a surrender, which was declined by Major L. W. Booth, commanding U. S. Forces. I stormed the fort, and after a contest of thirty minutes captured the entire garrison, killing five hundred and taking one hundred prisoners, and a large and just of quartermaster stores. --The officers in the fort were killed, including Major Booth.
