RlcHMoND, April 20.-Heavy cannonading
was heard, Yesterday afternoon, at Rip Raps,
from which thrty-onc shells were thrown at
Scwcll's Point, without damage. Dis charges

the Sd Georgia Regiment, sixteen wounded
and fifteen missing. The battle continued
five hours Col. Wright's force retired from
the field at midnight. and fell back to Half

very strong position, where he has been rein

MOCK Orange Trees Poisonous.

We beg leave to call the attention of the
community to the fact, that several very valu-
able cows have been killed by eating the leaves
and twigs from the limbs of mock orange
trees cut and thrown into the street, and hope
that persons in the town or neighbOrhood,
when they hereafter have such trees trimmed,
will be careful to prevent the limbs beirg
thrown into the street or any exposed situation,
where cows can get at them. The loss and
damage that might ensue from ~ different
course may be considerable

From Richmond.

RICHMOND, April 22.-The Knoxville Regis
ter of Sunday has reliable information from
Eastern kentucky that General Fremont, with
his whole force of 10000 men, has left that
section for Corinth, Miss.
Thirty convicts made bold attempt last
night to break out of the State Pcnitchtiary
and succeeded in doing so.
News FROM TIE FEDERAL FLEEr-Capt.
Krocg, MIR. Dcquar, and two other prisoners
captured by the Fcdcrals short time since,
have been released by order of Commodore
Dupont They reached Capers Island Satur-
day, and this city Sunday morning.
The Federal report Of the bombardment OF
Fort Pulaski states that seventeen of their own
number were killed, und but one of the garrl-
son of the fort. The fort was shelled from the
weakest side. The walls were not preached,
as reported by the Savannah papers, but the
garrison were completely shellcd out by the
tremendous fire brought to bear upon them.
The Fcdcrals ridicued the fact of the Confcd-
fcdcrate garrison at Fort Pulaski allowing them
to erect their batteries so near the fort and at
such commanding positions.
Capt. Magrath and son they intend to hold
prisoners.
The officers say that four iron-clad vessels
were nearly ready, with which and land force
of fifty thousand, assisted by their other gun
boats, they designed to attack Charleston.
They assert that they receive the Savannah pa
pcrs nearly every day.-C Courier.

From tisc Mississippi Valley

MEMPHIS, April 2l.- (Desp~tcA to the So
ronnoh Repudlcan.) .)-Latc accounts from Mis-
souri, state that Gen. Siegc died of pneumonia,
at Keitsvile, some days ago. The Louisville
papers admit that Gen. Buell. arrived at the
Tennessee Sunday evening of tho battle, and
crossed the river with his forces that night.
and that the whole were engaged in the fight
of Monday.
Reliable accounts from Nashville say that
four thousand Kentucky troops have quit the
army and gone home, Ill disgust, on account of
Lincoln's Abolition policy. There are nine
thousand sick troops at Nashville. The Fcdc-
rails are reported to be moving their sick and
stores from the city. Trcmend Gus rains have
fallen here for the last four days; the country
is flooded, and land Operations have become
impossible 1t is believed here that the Fede-
raj forces at Madrid have abandoned the place,
and gone round up the Tennessee river to rein
force the army in that qusrtcr.
Of an officer from Yorktown, we learn that
the efforts of the enemy are directed against the
contrc of our lines which they expect to force
by siege guns and regular approaches. If
they succeed, our army will be compelled to
retire and may not be able to 60 so without
some confusion. But this officer had no idea
that the enemy would succeed in the attempt,
and reports that the impression that we would
whip him was universal with our soldiers

To Our Patrons.

VO our Patrons.
With this number of our paper expires the
subscription term for which many of our pa
irons have paidas our terms are half yeariy
an adpance. We are not disposed to be fault
finding with delinquents, considering the times,
but we would urge our friends who know
themselves indebted to us to come forward ard
settle their dues, as we are much in need of
the money at this time, and are entirely de-
pendent on our collections for subscription and
advertising for the supply of paper, ink and
ditures incident to the publication of news
paper, though small it be. Our friends have
been most indulgent with us in our many short
comings, bnt seem disposed to favor us still
Misunderstanding, as they do, that the present
would not, in justice to ourselt, admit of an
enlargement of our paper, until there be a
prospect of peace and revival of trade and
advertising to guarantee such enlargement
When we were solicited to start The Con
FEDERATE, and consented, it was with the hope
that ere three months should elapse, peace
would be restored-that in that time we would
be a free and independent people, and that the
JOURNAL, with its rightful owner at the helm,
would again greet its numerous friends, us it
has for many years past. But we find ourself
yet in existence, as a publisher, with less pros
pect of shortly being relieved of the arduous
duties than when we first begun. However,
we shall endeavor to prove equal to the emer-
gency, and should we not succeed in fully
meeting the expectations or requirements of "a
generous public, VIC would beg them to attrib-
ute the dciicicncyto incompctcncy, rather than
neglect.
So far, we have succeeded in conducting
our business satifactory to all with whom we
have had dealings, without murmer, with
one exception, and if the parties concerned
can compromise with their conscience, and rest
of nights without horrid dreams of wrongs
done their neishbor by day, we have no OBJ
lection, but would remind them that consist
tcncy will always be found jewel. We, alone,
nrc responsible for our sin of omission or di-
gression, and are the proper person to whom
application should be made for redress, let the
offence be of whatsoever character it may :;
and if discrepancies arc found, the omendc
honorable shall be made, whether in our favor
or against.
To our patrons who have so literally con
tributcd their mite towards the sustarance Of
HE CoNFEDERATE, we return our sincere
and heartfelt thanks, and trust they may never
have occasion to regret the favors rendered lis.

We are indebted to Mr. |. B. ALEXANDER
