He Gays he captured in the first days fight
nearly all " our field artillery, but is careful
not to say how many Of these guns he carried
off the field when he lett il next day. The
fact liz. he did Dot get back to Corinth with
any more guns than he took into the battle, II
so many. HID be brought away any guns, he
would have sud 80.
He boasts that some OF hid men swappeJ mus

doubtless true; he says they destroyed OF &C.
ri,usly injured many Of our tonts' ~c.' ".''on
were in their possession throughout 'nc n'sa'
IF the 6;b-whch is also probably true-Dut IL
is evident that he got pothing of this sort away
from the battlefield
lie slurs over TIE fact that our men were
utterly surprised the first morning, many OF
them in their tents and Of least one regiment Win
ont cartridges. His force engaged during thas
fatal morning must have Outnumbered ours al
Ieast two TO one They fought with every pos
sible advantage, yet were obliged to deslst at

driving Gen. Grants army into the Tennessee
or compelling it to surrender.
The second day--GeD. Buell. having mean
time come up-the Rebels were overmatched'
and. after having had their stomach-iull OF
fighting, obliged to retreat, after having brought
ND all their forces, ADD done their very utmost.
But, as Beaurcgard is good at the spread-eage'
let us quote his precise words on this point:
An and again our troop, brought to the charge 10

the foe But by hour thus opposed to en- enemy con

suit, of tho victory OF the day before was then Prsccaos
Finally, be admits q total loss in this con
test Of 500 men, which is probably about
fifth of bis entire force, and is fully thrice th'
loss he admitted at Manassas. We believe be
Loaf many more; and he well says that his lost
ia Tot to be measured by mere numbers
Gen. Albert Sydney Johnston, the able Com
mander.in Chief, who planned and directed the
attack, and who was not killed till after e'gh
hours successful fighting, was an immense los'
to the Rebel cause, while one other Genera
killed and five wounded on their side to barrel!
one mortaly wounded and one captured OF
ours, attests the severity of the Rebel losses.
-We are not claiming that this cobfllc
resulted in O signal Union victory. True, TN
Rebels attacked and were beaten OIL tht
ground, while the losses OH either side were
great, and perhaps numerically greater on ours
But the Rebels chose their own time and mode
they attacked in superior force, and for tim'
had immensely the advantage; but in the enc
they failcd. SO will it be. We trust, IN tn
general result Of the War.

MESSRs. EDIToRS: The pubic mind is much ex
,rciSed just now the subject of General in Chief
'ettigrew is the man. The writer has known him
ong and WELL lie possesses of the finest in
elects in the land, and has exceled in everything
hat he has undertaken from his college days till
low.
He graduated with extraordinary distinction at
Chapel Hill the year that President Polk and John
I. Mason attended commencement there. His ma
henatical attainmcnts were so remarkable that the
President at invited him to the post of AsSis
ant Astronomer at the National Observatory in
Washington. lie accepted it for one year, and this
boy, who had never before seen observatory,
ranging himself alongside of Strive the most
celebrated living astronomer of Europe, not only
competing with him in the use of the instrument
with which the Russian won his renown, out actual
ly improving upon the formulas of that celebrated
astronomer.
When his year was up, young Pettigrew gave up
his appointment and went to Europe.
What are you going TO Europe for ?" said
friend
/" To study the military art" was the reply; "for
shall have to fight those Yankees yet and want
! to be ready for them" -.
After an absence ofseveral years. he returned and
! entered upon the study of law with his knsman
! Pettigrew, the celebrated South Carolina lawyer.
Here his talents soon brought him into notice,
and be sent to represent the City Of Charleston
| in the Legislature where leading position was at
once assigned him. fcCInS AT that time were run
nng high upon the subject of reopening the African
I Slave trade The Governor recommended it in his
message, and it referred to a special committee
/ of which Pcttigrew member 1t was on that
occasion that he made that celebrated report which
gave this question its quetus ---.-..-.- .
Soon after this, Napoleon III. commenced his
Italian war. Young Pcttigrew Immediately hasten
cd to France to offer his services hoping for
opportunity of studying upon the battle field there
those principles and that art which he felt sure
we're soon to be called into play here.
In the Fort Sumter affair Pettigrew on the
spot, taking active and prominent part from the
| beginning to the end .-r ..---.- 81
As the plot began to thicken, and North Carolina,
his native State, began to be threatened by the
enemy he FASTENED to her borders and raise regi-
ment He has already won for it, among his com
panons in arms, the distinction of having the best
drilled the best cared for regiment In the division
Of the army to which it belongs and there are some
fne officers and regiments in that army.
Pettigrcw has excelIed in every station to which
he has been called and the man that cannot be ex-
celled is the man we want $780,. ; 49,. a. -
We have several accomplished West Point grad
yates that are fit for the place. but the selection Of
any one Of these might cause heart burnings which
we desire to avoid. By Pettigrew's appointment
all risk of trouble from that source would be avoid

The CoNvENTIoN.-As our readers arc aware, this
body has taken recess till the 2lst Of April next
While we believe it is the duty of the Convention,
as body, to dispatch business speedily is con-
sistent with safe legislation, we think it npro er
that it should adjourn siae die until its whole bust
ness shall have been gone through with. While We
entertain this opinion, we are not unaware that a
respectable portion Of the people would be glad to
see the Convention become non est rcntus at the
earliest day possible.
The policy Of a too frequent modification of the
fundamental law of the land is not only impolitic
but dangerous But the experience of long series
OF years has taught to the people of North Carolina
the propriety OF certain constitutional amendments
some Of which have received the attention Of and
have been acted upon by the Convention. The idea
OF rewriting the Constitution is good one, and of
such great Importance, to demand the closest at
tention OF those engaged in its performance.
The Convention has engaged good portion Of
Its time to legislation, which the urgency Of circum-
stances very properly justifes Some important
measures have received its attention. While it has
Jailed to repeal that odous abominaton called the
/ Stay Law" it has done some other things for
which it deserves due credit-Hsnderson Times
