The Washington Artillery.

One of the drivers in the Washington Artillery
wrote letter the Goth to his friend in this city,
from which we extract as follows:
The enemy got their share of it when they
came up to Blackburn's Ford, for we gave them
fits! We took five hundred stands of arms and
about seventy-ive Yankee prisoners. We are
now in the woods expecting to have it again every
minute. We have to keep our horses hitehed up
to the pieces all night long, We have taken two
of their cannon called rifed cannon, and ready
to give them g0ss again if they want it. General
Johnston has arrived with 1900 troops, and Gen.
Beauregard is fixing it all right for us.

THE CAPTURE OF SHARMAS's BATIERY.-The
Richmond Enquirer of the 25th says:


From Eieutanant Wagren Wilkes, of the Fourth
Regiment of South Carolinavolunteers who arrived
here yesterday in charge of the remains of his
brother, Adjutant S. NJ Wilkes, killed at Manassas
we obtain the following particulars of the capture
of this celebrated battery. The battery was
masked in pine thicket, from which position it
opened fire, at about ten minutes past s O'Clock
in the morning, upon Major Whites battalion of
the Fourth South Carolina Regiment, which main
tanned its ground until the Fourth Alabama and
Eleventh Virginia regiments to its assistance.
The battle continued to increase in vigor and in
tensity, and whilst raging most furiously, our men
at this point finding they were being overwhelmed
in numbers, were about giving way in the center
Of the colum. AT this critical juncture Ex-Governor
Smith, with his Forty ynnth Regiment of Vlrginialrs
came to the rescue. Selling Confederate flag he
unfurled it to the breeze, and appealing to the
troops in short forcible terms, to rally to the res
cue and make one gallant, final charge with taeir
comrades in arms and win the day, he put himself
at the head Of the column and followed by our
gallant men, charged through several companies of
sharp shooters stationed in the bushes and behind
fences, reached the terrible battery, and amid a
binding storm of "eaden rain and iron hail.,
captured it and turned the pieces on the panic
stricken foe. Not one man Of Sberman's battery
was left to tell of its capture, and but four horses
remain alive.

INCIDENTS OF THE BArTLE.--A correspondent o.
the Petersburg Express saws:

the Petersburg Express says:
l saw large, fine looking soldier to-day, who
participated in the bloody conflict of Sunday. He
is on his way to New Orleans, where he resides,
having procured a turl0ugh. He had very valu
able grey overcOat, a costly vest, and a superior
silver time piece, which he secured from the body
of dead soldier. In the vest pocket was a silver
quarter dollar, all the money found, and in the coat
pocket piece of raw cotton saturated with
blood which looked as if it had done good service
in staunchDg the blood Of some severe wound.
This soldier was in position near the Pet Lamb
Iouaves, and says he never before witnessed such
a horrilying spectacle They lay piled upon one
another, in some places, three or four deep, and
were scattered over space of some half acre or
more. The sight was too sickening for c0ntempla-
ton. How terribly but righteousy has the inva-
sion Of Alexandria and the murder of the patriot
Jackson been avenged.
One of the most interesting incidents of the battle
is presented in the case of Wylie P. Mangum, Jr.,
son of ex-senator Mangum, of North Carolina.
This young man was attached to Col. Fishers iegl-
ment, believe, and owes the preservation OF is
life to copy of the Bible presented to him by his
sister. He had the good book in his left coat
pocket. 1t was struck by d ball near the edge but
the book changed the direction of the bullet and it
glanced off, iufiicting severe but not dangerous
flesh wound. The book was saturated with blood
but the advice written on fyeaf by the sister
who gave it, perfectly legible. 1t read thus ::

UNION COUNTY TICKET.
The Union Ticket.

We publish at the head ofour columns
this week, the "Union State Ticket" put
in nomination at Columbus, Sept. 5th,
and give it our hearty endorsement.
This ticket was put in nomination by
the people, who, unwilling longer to trust
the affairs Of the State 10 politicians, went
up to Columbus and took charge Of things
in their own person and managed them in
their own way.
The candidates we're chosen without
regard to past party predictions. The
only questions looked 10 were honesty.
capacity and loyalty.
Thepeopls may congrstulae themselves
npoa their labOrs of the 9th, The work
was well and nobly done. The ticket Is
tho stronges, and best that could have
been selected. Its triumphant, and over.
whelmiug success is as certain ms tue end
Of mau. The ability and trustworthiness
Of the candidates are unluestioned, even
by nnr eneniea The Ohio Statesman is
compelled TO pronounce the ticket "un-
exceptiouable."
With such ticket with platform,
having for its purpose the sirgle end Of
maintaining the Union by n vigorous
prosecution Of the war--with God and
the country on our side, our triumph will
not only be signal, but overwhelming; aud
before the canvas is over, the boosted
1000, 600" fliends Of the South in Ohio
will have slunb away until not enough are
left to make decent corporals guard.
In the struggle presented to tho voters
OF Ohio this fall, tho issue is not polti
cal one II ia neither an issue Of men ol
measures, except SO far as measures eli.
feet the existence of the Government it
sell. and men will act for the existence ol
overthrow Of the Union. The simple
question to be tried is this: wa the peo
pie sustain Tie constituted authoritieS in Mei,
Efforts 10 crush Ms9igahtic and devilish re
6ciiion NTH which they are 0ow struggling
or wiH MCy sustain that rebellion in ttS ef,
forts 10 PROSTATE their own institutions ana
OUerthro'o their own liberties.
Tho question is one Of easy solution
thero is no llwiy house; in this crisis
all Who GRE not for the Government ar
.ogoinsta, There are now but Two partio
in the country--a Union aud Disuuo
party. There are now but Two ticket
