Again have We the pleasure ofchrou-
iciing, as our caption proves, another
victory, and we trust it will always
BE- under such head. that we an
nounce to our readers the result of ali
future encounters with the federalisfs.
Our loss is indeed triting, Though
the loss OF n single son Of the South,
may cause bereavement to very many)
there being but one killed and eight
wounded. The enemy We're COM
pletely routed, and their estimated
loss is six hundred killed and one
thousand wounded. -
If the protecting hand of the Al
mighty was ever stretched over a
body of men, this surely must be ac-
knowledged as an instance. Let the
prayers Of all ascend to the throne
OF the Omnipotent preserver of our
army. Did ever a living person hear
or any history record such signal
victory I! Unless there is a mistake
i'll the dispatch received, as regards
our loss i'll killed, being only Ollie
and it surely is an error-the battle
is unprecedented by any known par
ticulars of engagements i'll ancient or
modern days.
The report Of this encounter, pub
lished i'll yesterdays paper, is pre-
sumed to be correct, however, in
few days further and more elaborate
intelligence should be received.

The Fraternal Temper Of the

The Tribune declares that the
World is losing fifteen hundred dol
lars every week. Tie World returns
the compliment by asserting that the
Tribune is losing an equal amount !;
and, becoming statistical in its pas
sions, it even Investigates such mi
croscopic matters as the number OF
the Tribune's advertisements, and
declares that the Tribune will short
ly be compelled to curtail its dimen-
sions, as it has already done its news,
in order to reduce, its expenses. This
is all very true of the Tribune, but
the World itself is in an equally bad
way. Having lost two hundred
Thousand dollars in good bankable
money, and about a million in second
