GREAT BATTLE BEGUN ON THURSDAY
LAST, THE 2Gth OF JUNE.

The accounts of the Thursday S fight which real
ly begun the great battle as given by the Richmond
papers of Friday were so meagre and contradictory
that we do not give them space. The Dispatch's
account was favorable to North Carolina troops,
and stated that the advance upon the Meadow Bridge
was led by Gen. Branch's brigade and reinforced by
other troops from Gen. A. P. Hills division Our
men exhibited the utmost GOODNESS and bravery
The Enquirer does not mention North Carolina
troops and tie Examiner on that day, falsely we
believe, charged North Carolina regiment with a
want of courage. These reports, however, are OIL
tanned from so many different sources, they must
necessarily be various, but there is manifest in
disposition among Virginia reporters for the press
to do North Carolina simple Justice
On Saturday, the Examiner makes amends by
giving more full and correct account Of the battle
of Thursday, which gives to North Carolina more
credit The facts as they come out show that our
brave men of the Old North State have done the
hardest fighting on the ChiCkahominy, as they did
on the retreat from Yorktown. We give, therefore,
the Examiners account on Saturday, as the best we
have seen -
Thesplendid contest of Thursday afternoon, which
resulted in the wrestling, by Gen. A. P. Hills d.
vision, of Mechanicsvile, though without decisive
results except the possessing of the place. served to
attract the attention of Mcclellan from movement
in his rear which overwhelmed him. There Hills
division of Il, 900 men stood successfully, opposed
to at least four times their number, behind earth
works, which they one after another evacuated,
carrying off their guns which, mounted on wheel
carriages, were not captured, of our cotem-
porar'es announced yesterday, though their posi-.

Foreign Intervention.

There seems to be some reason to justify the IT,
cent rumors that France and England had deter,
mined upon an armed Intervention in the affairs Oh
the Lincoln government and the Southern Confed-
eracy. The latest European intelligence appears ~
remove all doubt in the North upon this su9)ec',
and the English and French governments are aouseu
most roundly. We presume that preparatory
step to intervention will be the recognition oil tne
Southern Confederacy. Whatever may be the os-
signs of European powers in this matter no one
beyond the immediate privacy of the governments
can know. The terms to be proposed, therefore,
are matters of speculation.
Such a prospect may stimulate the hopes Oh INC
South, but !. should by no means influence US ~

handed, and drive its hordes from our SOIL

LIEUT.. DUNCAN CAMERON HAYwoOD.-The body
of this gallant young man, who fell in the battle
near Richmond, on Friday was brought to this City
and inferred on Monday morning last He was a
soE OF the late Hon. William Fl. Haywood, Jr., and
held the position of ist Lieutenant in the 7th State
Troops. He fought gloriously in the battle of New
bern, as we have no doubt he did on the field where
he met his death. 1t is reported that he was carry
ing the flag of the regiment when he was struck
down, and that his Colonel, the lamented Campbell,
seized the flag after he fell and that he also received
his death wound while bearing it towards the foe
Lieut.. Haywood has been cut off in the opening flush
of manhood, but he has fallen noby in the path of
duty and in a righteous cause.

WHAT MAKES THE BEST SOLDTERs.-A captain IN
the army in arguing with an intide officer who was
making various objections to the religious influences
which were brought to bear upon the army, said:
81 am not a Christian myself but will say that
the best men in my company are the church men,
bers and those who have high respect for religion.
For this reason | would rather that my should
have religious reading above all other kinds for it

Let US hasten, then, to give all the men such

W. W. HOLDEN, Esq.-The accounts from the
battlefield are very meagre. All correspondents of
newspapers excluded by order of Gen. Lee. 1t is
rumored here this morning that the 7th N c. State
Troops, (Col. Campbelrs) decimated; not 10 in
a single company escaped injury. All accounts
agree that the North Carolina troops fought with
the fury of tigers and won immortality. Branch's
brigade is highly compmented. The latest news
from Richmond says that Mcclellan is surrounded
and must capitulate. c.

to know how to make Illuminating powder. We
think he is mistaken. We have no recollection Of

of the mode Of making percussion caps or iulmina

The importance of mechanical training
and OF habits of regularity and method,
cannot be over-estimate in their various
bearings upon the relations of life, and we
would say to those young men who are at
this moment struggling through details
which appear to be hard, useless, and
full OF weariness, TO hold on their utility
may not be apparent at present, but the
day is sure 10 come when they will reep
the benefit of such discipling and routine.
Hold on don't give up; in our own
country no social prejudides prevail which
prevent the humble dyre from becoming
the learned and skillful chemist no bar
riers exist which deprive those whom
the chances of leie made rude and unal-
tered, from becoming shining lights in
the world OF science. Most great inven-
tors have sprung from the ranks of the
brave daily workers, and the field is still
wide one, expanding every day; there
fore we say ''hold ON TO the training of
the shop, improve your spare hours in
mental culture and reward is certain.

York, the hay is cut fine and mixed wet
with corn and oats ground, in the pro-
portion by measuse of three measures of
corn to two measures of oats, the proper
tion varying only with the marker price
of the grain. The proportion fed OF cut
hay to gain is generally nine pounds OF
hay to seventeen of grain, avering ten
