Col. Lester dismissed the flag of truce, and
returning to his position On the hill, prepared
his men By skI1eul disposition to resist the
coming attack from two quarters. The Tex.
ans and kentucklans moved rapidly to their
POSITION in the rear, unmolested, but they did
not ind Col. Lester unprepared. That officer
formed his men into hollow square. and the
guns we're divided, two now pointing in each
direction, and the whole force WAs ready to
receive the attack.
TEE THIRD CHARGE.
Capt. Hewitt prepared for It, and was ready
20 GlVe them as warm reception a. before,
Ihe enthusiasm and desperation had, however,
been taken out OF the rebels, and they came
up slowly and more cautiously. Fences were
taken advantage OF, and the forces protected
by al available meane. But when they ap-
peared where Hewitt wanted them, he again
opened upon them from both batteries, and
the field was covered with their wounded, aud
the air alled with their yelIs. They were even
worse diEorganized than before, and fell back
in etfl1 more indecent haste to the cover OF the
woods and beyond the creek They left their
dead and wounded On the field. and sought
shelter in the town.

But Capt. Hewitt did not intend to give
them any rest Grape was changed to shell,

tne,eiaz Adnertiser, writes So follows:
The experiment upon which the govern
meut hss entered Of testing and developing
the capabilities Of the negroes to care for
themselves, gives promise Of brilliant results.
Thai they do possess the capability may be
considered as beyond question-itis demon
6t1ated. The great problem to be solved fs
bow can this capability be best developed?
The policy Of the government as uow being
carried out, Is the true one, viz: disciplining
The mind, imparting knowledge, and finnish
ing incentives and enconragements to labor.
Thenegro knows that ''the 1aborer is worthy
Of his hire,' and he hss learned By observation
that Knowledge is power" Let him then
receive the rewards Of labor and he Will toll !;
open to him the sources Of knowledge and he
will gain; information, which will sweeten his
toll, enlarge his desires, and quicken the exer-
else OF all bis faculties.
The carrying cut Of this policy Is committed
b9 the government to General Rnfus saxton.
We believe him to be eminently fitted for the
post to which he is assigned, and trust that.
aided By those who have it In their hearts to
do this people good. the negroes In this dis

which the cruel system OF slavery has plunged
