Sherm ans Battery.

We are requested 70 insert the following
1t is generally understood that the cele
brated battery of Sherman consisted of six
teen guns, and as it is not probable that al
these guns were placed in Immediate Iuxtapo-
sition, hence The fact that they We're not all
captured by the same charge or the same
Riment, and hence the conflicting claims Sc
up by different regiments 10 the honor of tax
ing them
From accounts received by the writer from
eye witnesses at Manassas, he feels en- tirely
rranted in saving that the lSth Regiment OF
Virginia Volunteers, under Col. Withers, GER
tainly participated in the final capture of
some of sherman guns, and that Lieut.
Shields, of the Black Eagle Company, Gum

to the success of Southern arms thus far in

Among the countless outrages that have
been committed on our sea coast by the myr-
midons OF Lincoln, there is one which deserves
special attention, and which furnishes add
lional proof of The utter abjec ZION and democrat
iZation of ths Northern army. While the last
OF the coffee from the Old wreck on the beach
near Wa woods, was bring carried across the
sand TO boat that was to take il thence to
kL otis Island "a r sieral steame came up near
the shor-, under a flag of truce and an officer
aboard inquired OF one OF the Wreckers that
went dow the shore To meet him. "What yes
sci that WAS ashore and what her cargo con.
sisted off, and, upon beiEg informed, without
further conference, backed the steamer ont 10
sea u short distance and fired several shots at
the wreck, one or two taking effect in her hull.
After becoming tired of wasting their powder
and ball on the wreck, which seemed to be
hard mark to hit, they fired Il shot or two 4
the wreckers and laborers, who had by this
time made the most OF their way across the
sano. One OF these shots Is said TO have
passed between a man and his son, vet WI tn.

ADDS insult to outrage is, Us my informant
