ed the onward progress OF the enemy. Still
their myriads, as cloud of fame, continued
to press on our extreme left, with a new adj
vance upon our centre. The struggle was
now intense. Between our extreme left and
centre. Wheat's Battalion, the 18th, 9th and
l4th Virginia, the 4th and portion OF the 9Th
Georgia, and the 4th South Carolina engaged
he 69th and 18th New York, Ellsworth's
Zouaves. the Brooklyn Zouaves, and several
other regiments OF Porter's Brigade. Our
position was most critical The enemy sue
ceeded in fianking US to some extent, and to
add to the embarrassment, an awkward mis-
take occurred. Wheat's Battalion being Or
dered to the left, were moving in that direc-
ton. The 4th South Carolina, mistaking
them for the Brooklyn Zouaves, fired upon
them, and they returned the fire, several be-
ing killed on both sides before the error was
discovered. The Hessians were still pouring
down upon our left. One of McDowelPs
brigades advanced ,gifh the coiors Of The Confed-
srats States, which deceived our men, and en-
abled them to approach to give US a terrific
volley before the rascaliy yankee trick"
was discoversd; but our boys sent shower
of lead into their midst which detained about
five hundred of them on the spot.
In this fearful hour our reserve was miles
away. while that of the enemy was coming
on thick and fast. Our men had been fight
ing for hours in the broiling sun and without
water, and were greatly fatigued. The fate of
the day was impending on q thread. It made
every man hero, from the least to the great
est. We resolved upon victory or death-it
was doubtful which. The enemy was double
or trebble our numbers at this point. Gen.
Johnston rode in amongst the men. He took
the colors OF several Virginia and Alabama
regiments, aud led them in the thickest Of
the fght-displaying the utmost courage and
reckless daring. He dispatched his Aids to
bring up portion o. the reserve, which was
done promptly. 1t was trying bat q glorious
hour. While we were thus contending. Gen.
Kirby Smiths brigade, numbering 4, 600, ar
rived. Without waiting for orders or any
form of ceremony, he pitched inp upon the
FIRST ''stsrs and. stripes that met his eye.

The News of the Mason and Slidell
Seizure in Great Britain.
--latest by Telegraph to Southampton. !


LIVERPOOL, Nocember 27.-Most intense ex-
citement exists here to-day, under the intelli-
gence of the taking of the Southern Commis-
sioners-Mason and Slidell-from the British
mail steamer Trent. An indignation meeting
was promptly held, and resolutions were car
ried by acclamatiOn, denOuncing the insult,
and calling upon the Government to maintain
the dignity of the flag. Some prominent mer-
chants spoke against precipitate actioa, aud
said the matter better be lefC to the Govern
nent. The feeling of indignation, however,
was general.
Consols declined in London half per cent.
Ship Helen, from Charleston, arrived here
to- day with cargo Of resin and turpentine.

The following placard was posted on Change:

from British Mail steamer!
A PUBLIC MEETING WILL BE HELD NTHE
COTTON SALES ROOM AT THREE O'CLOCK.
The room was crowded to excess. TIE chair
was occupied by james Spence, who read the
following resolution:
ResoEyed, That this meeting, having heard
with Indignation that an American Federal
ship. Of war has forcibly taken from British
mail steamer certain passengers pesceably un
der the shelter of our flag, from one neutral
port to smother, do earnestly call upon the Gov.
erDmentto assert the dignity of the British flag
by requiring prompt TepaTshOn for this out
| rage.
This resolution was received with great en-
thusiasm.
The resolution was advocated by the Chair
man, who considered he was expressing the
feeling of the people when he said it was the
6uty o. the people to press on the Government
the imperative necessity Of vindicating the
honor and dignity of the British name and
| flag,
Mr.. John Campbell considered there was
reason to doubt whether the facts related and
acted upon by this meeting were In reality a
breach of International law, and referred to
opinions of law officers of the Grown as being
Ia some measure inclined to show that such y
step as taken with respect to the Southern
Commissioners was justi6able under the exist
ing state of international law, and urged the
| pr6pFiety Of postponing the consideration Of
| the subject till to- morrow.
Mr.. Fow sustained MF. Campbel's views.
The Chairman suggested that, to meet the
objection Of Mr.. Campbell, to strike out th'
words by requiring prompt reparation for thi
| outrage, and thus amended the resolution

Several merchants expressed their views afte

was premature y -...

A GRAND suaaEsTIoN.

The idea Of seizing Texas, and Of giving It
ug to foreign Northern, and North western
emigration, is being received with great
favor. The Secessionists having expelled
the Germans from Texas, will soon be ex-
PEELED themselves. The utmost confidence
is felt that whenever demonstration is made
upon the Texan coast it will be a successful
achievement. The State is full of revolt
against the Secessionists, and so, with the
Indians on its frontiers, our fleets on its
coasts, and our army on its soil, nothing can
prevent the truition of the grand thought of
giving it up to a vigorous and enterprising
emigration.
