througheat our State, am happy to see
that some o. the friends Of education, at
least, are still laboring for the good of the
cause. am glad to see that the subject
of Southern textbooks is exciting atten-
tion among our people. This is a subject
of vast importance to US as nation; for
we cannot expect to be people of our
own, while we are dependent ON others for
such an important item Of necessity as
School books. Past history and circnm-
stances amply prove that Nations liter.
ature has much TO do in the formation o.
the principles and customs of its inhabi-

depends, TO great extent, on the charac-
Ter Of her literature. This is plainly de-
monstrated in the late disruption Of th
American Union. Therefore, in order t,
insure stability Of government, It's impor
tant that the South prepare her own sshoc

ature from another people, SO long viii her
institutions be unstable and her borders
subject to revolutions.
But the South should prepare her own
text books for another reason, viz: she
should give the profit of this business to
her own people rather than to foreigners.
She has already enriched the perfdious
North by ber patronage in this aud almost
every other business; aud now, as an act
Of appreciation, they threaten to dsvas-
tate our homes and confscate our honest
earned property. Oh ungrateful wretches
Ia righteous God judge between us and
them
The South has sufficient talent and en-
terprise to prepare her own school-books.
Her sons and daughters are certainly able
to produce books as rich in merit as those
derived from the North. Then why should
not the South develope her latent talent ?
Why not make herself notable as a nation
of learning
But it is not necessary to multiply ar
guments in favor of this noble enterprise
for its necessity is generally, if not univer.
sally admitted. This is not new subject
Its merits have long been canvassed by the
leading literary men of the Sonth, and &
favorable opportunity has long been looked
for, to commence the work. That time
has now arrived. Absolute necessity will
now give the enterprise an impetus. Gu

THE SPoILs.
To the victors belong the spoils," and in
this case they were enormous. Sixty odd
pieces of cannon, every piece they had bat
two large amount of small arms, church
full of knapsacks, blankets, ammunition,
haversacks, &c, &C., with which our men
are abundantly supplied.
THE PRISONERS
Some twelve or fifteen hundred prisoners
We're taken and large number of officers.
They were sent off to Richmond yesterday,
and there was long train of them, coach
filled with fine looking Yankee officers that
will not lead men against the South soon
again.
Our loss was considerable, though do not
know how many we had killed and wounded
though very considerable, for it could not
have been otherwise fighting from sunrise
until dark. Though our loss is not near as
enemy is enormous, for they received our
deadly shots with bravery worthier of a
better cause.
THE FIELD AFTER THE BATTLE.
visited the field after the battle, and it
was indeed sickening, heart-rending sight.
The enemy lay piled up in heaps, and horses
strewn all along. counted forty horses in
a distance of fifty yards. Around Sherman's s
batteries where our Regiment fired, every
horse and cannoneer was killed. and lay in
one indiscriminate heap. All over the battle
were strewed the dead and dying. Some had
placed their arms under their heads as they
went to their last sleep Others folded their
arms across their breasts, some with features
distorted and fists clenched as they wrestled
in the agonies of death others wore the
calm, placid smile which should grace the
face of soldier dying in glorious cause
In the little clump of cedarS, the wounded
had crawled and died, and lay there in ghast
ly heaps.
Our dead were buried with the honors due
them, and our wounded removed to different
places in the interior where they will be pro
| perly attended to.
The rumor that Col Lightfoot is severely
wounded is false. The rumor that Major
Webb was killed is also false, he escaped un-
hurt. The rumor that Capts. Freeand
Avery, Kirkland, Craig and York were kill
ed, is also untrue, as is also the rumor of tht
death of Adjutant Lowrie, Lieuts.. Kirkland
Avery, and E. Turner. The victory was
glorious one though dearly bought.

IMPORTANT TO VOLUNTEERS. Capt Will
liam c. Humphreys, Of the Eighth Georgia
Regiment, writing to the Atlanta papers,
from Winchester, on the 1st inst, says:
Allow me through your columns to inform
all volunteers who have not purchased side
arms that it is useless for them to do so, as
they will not be allowed to carry them after
they are mustered into service. The money
each would spend for pistol will do them
great good if brought in money. There are
men here following the army round to buy
pistols of the volunteers when orders are
given to dispense with them, which orders
are issued as fastas the different regiments
arrive in camp. 1t will be money thrown
away to buy pistols. Those who are here
buying are doing so for speculation, knowing
those to whom they sell them will not b.
allowed to use them.
No privates are allowed to carry conceale,
weapons. They might ina fit of passon a

New HAMPSHIRE LLEoTIos.-The first gene
raj State election Of this year will take place
in New Hampshire to-day, when Governor
members of both branches of the Legislature
and three representatives in Congress are to
be chosen. In anticipation of this election, the
two State Democratic Committees met at Con-
cord last week for the purpose of reconciling
differences and effecting a union of the
Democratic party. This movement is said to
have been entirely successful, so far as the
committees were concerned.
