The Battle OF Leesburg.

The telegraphic report of the battle of
Leesburg, in which the companies from
Madison were engaged, and which re-
suited in splendid victory for our arms.
reached here three or four hours too late
for our last paper. Since then we have
received the details Of the engagement,
which show that the first report of the
loss Of Confederate troops was exagger-
ated. being Sc; down at three hundred,
whereas, the official report states our
loss to be only q killed, and 800
wounded.
We have been favored with the peru
sal of a printed letter, from an officer in
the 18Th Regiment, who speaks in the
most glowing terms OF the brave and gal
liant conduct of all the companies from
Madison If there was the least doubt
in the minds of anybody. of the bravery
Of the troops composing the 18th and
18th Mississippi Regiments, land such
doubt was attempted to be created by
some scribbers after the battle of Man
assas) their heroic conduct at Leesburg
has thoroughly dispelled all such doubts,
The Yankees themselves say that '' the
Mississippi troops fought like devils"
Amidst our rejoicing at the victory,
however. We are called to mourn the
loss Of several of our noble Madison
boys. John l. Cooper, j. D. Suther-
land, and Henry V. Taylor, fell martyrs
to the glorious cause of Southern liberty
and independence. A grateful country
will embalm the memory of these fallen
heroes.

must be bold writer indeed to essay to
engage the readers attention with an ex

days ago while reading an article ia the
Eclectic Magazine of recent date. we
were touched with the closing paragraph.
If tlleareader does not agree with US th at
the language Of this. writer is" .beautiful

touched his ear to the lips of dying

Never think, reader, that the dear

B0- Evansport, the point where our men
have successfully blockaded the Potomac, so
as to cut of communication between Wash
ington City and the sea, and where an en-
gagement recently took place, is at the mouth
of Quantioc creek, IN Prince William county,
Va, and is about twenty Eve miles below
Alexandria. 1t takes its name from the
owner of the adjacent lands-a Mr.. Evans
and is merely landing place. The mouth
of the Qusntioc is said to be the best winter
harbor on the Potomac, and the channel at
that point comes near the Virginia shore, and
within perfect range of our batteries. BY
blockading the Potomac we compel Lincoln
to transport his arms and provisions for the
supply of his army in Washington over land,
and break up his direct communication be-
tween Washington, Fortress Monroe and the
sea. If it be fact, as there seems good rea-
sou to believe, that the navigation of the
river has been stopped, tits very important
point gained Our batteries at Evaaspor;
are represented as being in excellent eendi-
ton, as proved by the successful resistance
they recently made to an attack by number
OF ths eneply's ships.

The Hghting on orr side is described a.
terrific. In the. thickest Of The fight, the
Mississippi troops, throwing asidetheir mus
kets, knapsacks. aud even hats charged upon
the Yankees with Bowie knives, making the
attack with yelis of rage and excitement.
The enemy made three distinct attacks
upon our lines At one tune in the action,
for the space Of about twenty inmates, the
battle ragged with the TIVE opposing forces
within thirty feet Of each other, amid the
stunning reports of musketry and OCCASION
al essays of the enemy to reach Us With the
bayoRet. The attempts to charge bayonets
on our lines was held in check each time by
the steady fire Of our troops; and, when
their turn came to charge, they rushed into
the enemy with fury that is said 70 have
swept them into the most understandable dis
.order and panic-stricken confusion.
Great credit in the action is awarded 70
the Eighth Virginia regiment, commanded
BY Col. Eppa Hunton. This regiment is
said to have assaulted the enemy on the flank
at critical point Of the action, aad to have
completed his disorder b. the effect of their
attack.
Gen. Baker is said to have behaved with
the most extraordinary gaIlantryi and the
generosity of even his enemy accords the
highest praises TO the courage and devotion
displayed by him in the thickest Of the fight.
His body was pierced through and through
nv bullets He fouoht on without drawing
the least notice to his wounds, until, AT last,
he fell dead by shot from Mississippi II

Of $50, 900 American and of all kinds $50, 600,
reduced the stock, on the 3lst of December,

545 600 bales. There is now no American
cotton at sea for this country, and only So,

almost entire exhaustion of the stocks here

that exchange of prisoners took place at

boat, under flag of truce, came down .fren
Cairo. and after anchorage in the middlesof

fcers, when an exchange of prisoners was
proposed by the FederaHsts, which was &C
coded to by Gems. Polk and Pillow, upon the
apparently unequal terms of permitting the
unconditional release of sixteen Federal pris-

three Confederate soldiers, who had been un-
fortunate enough to fall into the hands OF
