On yesterday evening, says the Richmond
Examiner of the 9TH, an official dispatch was
received by the Secretary of War; giving a
brief telegraphic account of victory gained
by Gen. jackson over largely superior force
Of the enemy. Particulars were not given in
the despatch, further than that on the mora
ing of the Sd instant the enemy, with FIVE
thousand men aud twelve pieces of artillery,
some of which were riiled cannon, attacked
Gen. II. R. jackson command, two thousand
five hundred strong. The fight lasted four
hours, during which the enemy made repeated
attempts to turn Gen. Jackson's tlanks by as
sault, as well as by free use Of the artillery,
but was finally repulsed with very heavy loss
Our lossNwas small.

Killing the Weeds.

There are on almost every mans farm, p ace,
where tall weeds grow in formidable batailions.
aud which, if the farmer has either conscience
or good taste. are regarded as annoysnces. Wa.
is made upon them. And generally that most
terrible agent, fire, is the weapon. But while
h"cleans them OUT" for the time being. the
following spring witnesses a regeneration, and
from the ashes Of the dead spring living forml
increased in size, and number. 1t il easy tc
apply the torch, but Providence pays premium
for industry. Howl Why it has been found
b. actual experiment that the more efeetua
way to destroy weeds is to cut them down-cu
them when they are growing. They soon e1
pend their vitality in their effort to recover, ant
rarely more than a second cutting is required
before they "give up" Such is the experience
Of half dozen men with whom we have talk ed
our own included.
