NJ. it was generally understood that
We had hernmed in the enemy entirely,
and that they were gradually retiring,
that Colonel Hunter had driven them
back In the rear, that Colonel Heintzel-
mans command was meeting with every
success, and that it required but the re-
serve of General Tylefs division TO
push on to Manassas Junction.
A Mississippi soldier was taken pris-
oner by Hssbrouck Of the Wisconsin
Second Regiment. He turned out to
be Brigade Qusrtermaster Pryor, cous-
in to Roger A. Pryor. He was cap
tured with his horse as he by accident
rode into our lines. He discovered
himself by remarking 10 Hasbrouck.
1--WE are getting badly cut to pieces"
"Whst regiment do you belong to?"
asked Hasbrouk. "The Nineteenth
Mississippi" was the answer. "Then
you are my prisoner" said Hasbrouck.
From the statements of this prisoner
it appears that our artillery has created
great havoc among the rebels, Of whom
there are from thirty thousand to forty
thousand in the field, under command
Of Gen. Besuregard, while they have a
reserve Of seventy-6ve thousand at the
Junction.
He describes an officer most promi-
nent in the fight, distinguished from
the rest by his white horse. as JEFF.
Davis. He confirms the previous re-
ports of regiment of negro troops in
the rebel forces. but says il is difficult to
get them in proper discipline in battle
array.
The position Of the enemy extended
in three lines in the form of a triangle,
the apex fronting the centre Of our
column. The area seems to have been
filled with masked batteries.

A HORSE SIxTY-EIsE YEARS OLD
Wilkes Spirit of the Times gives an
account of small black Galloway,
eleven hands high. which attained to the
greatest age of any horse Of which we
have any record. He was resident OF
small village near Haddington, in
Scotland. He was foaled in 1870, and
at the time Of his death he was SO
years old. A few weeks before his
death he trotted for several hours at
the rate Of seven or eight miles an hour,
and fed well his oats and hay to the
last.

He steers the ship of State and he's going to

There's the traitor Beauregard, of whom you

residing in this city. in the vicinity Of

highly respectable connections living in

THE PRINrER's DoLLARs.-The prin-
ter's dollars! Where are they? A
dollar here and there, scattered over
numerous small towns. all over the
country, miles and miles apart-how
shall they be gathered together? The
type founder has his hundreds Of dol
lars against the Printer; the paper
maker, the building owner. the journey
maE Compositor, the Grocer, and Tai
lor, and all the assistants to him in car
rying on his business, have their de-
mands, hardly ever so small as a single
dollar. But mites from here and there
must be diligently gathered and patient
ly boarded, or wherewith to discharge
the large bills will never become bulky.
We imagine the printer will have to get
up an address to his widely scattered
dollars, something like the following:-
dollars, halves, quarters, dimes, and
all manner of fractions into which ye
are divided, collect yourselves and
come home! Ye are wanted! Combine.
tions of all sorts of men, that help the
Printer to become proprietor, gather
in such force and demand with such
good reasons your appearance at his
counter, that nothing short of sight
Of you will appease them. Collect
yourselves, for valuable as you are in
the aggregate. singly you will never
pay the cost of gathering. Come in
single file, that the Printer may form
you into battalions, and vindicate his
feeble credit" Reader, are you sure
you havn't a couple Of the Printers
dollars sticking about your clothes?
