OF We make few extracts from the
late congratulatory order of "hoop. pole"
Butler, issued Immediately after the affair
at Baton Rouge. 1t is quite cool and rich
especially 10 those who know it to be
tissue Of lies. 1t was no doubt penned
by that plant tool of the Delta, who wrote
the account of the brilliant victory of Nc
Clellan in Virginia, in which he drove the
rebels from their last strongholds, captur.
ing $4,000 prisoners. etc. This order
would be nice thing in Europe, and at
the North, if any body believed IL:
Attacked there by division of our
rebel enemies, under commend of a Ma.
ior General rcercaHt oloyal Kentucky , ,,
whom some Of us would have honored
before his apostacy, of doubly superior
numbers, who took advantage of your
sickness, from the malaria of the marshes
of Vicksburg, to make a cowardly attack.

lie has lost three Brigadier Generals,
killed, wounded and prisoners, many Col.

than thousand killed.
You have captured three pieces of ar

and large number of prisoners.
You have buried his dead on the field

tons, what would be his fate with the
main body. If your General should say
he were proud of you, it would only be tc
praise himself; but he will say he is proud
to be one of you. y
How very modest he is. This is quite
enough. We append recapitulation o.
the casualties at that fight, as enumerated
by the correspondent of the Memphis Ap'
| peal:
CASUALTIES AT BATON RoUGE.-It is q
pretty well established fact that the entire
force with which Gen. Breckenridge made
the attack upon Baton Rouge, consisted
of several hundred less than 5000 men,
about GOT to 2l0. The field officers ara
Gen, Charles Clarke, severely. maybe
mortally wounded Coils. H. w. Allen
Sam. Boyd of La. Bat, Chas. Jones, o
La, A. P. Thompson, of Paducah, and T
H. Hunt, wounded. The balance may be
thus summed up:

O. We had the pleasure of grasping
by the hand, the other day, our returned
fellow.citizen, Captain Cofey. We are
pleased to see that the Captain has not
suffered in physical sense, by his short
soiourn among those pesky varmints at
the north, and that he is looking very we'll.
As soon as he has thoroughly recovered
from the effects of his wound, which we
perceive still causes him to limp slightly,
he will return to take command of the
remnant of his brave company.

Reported Evacuation of Richmond
esHeadqudrters, Aug. 4.-Informa
ton Dkpm various sources tend to
cont4m the belief that the enemy
haveSsally evacuated Richmond and
taken up the south bank of the
James river, as line of defense.
The rebel cavalry under Gen Robin
son, are believed to have withdrawn
from the Shenandoah Valley, leaving
that part of the country to the de-
fense Of the guerrillas only.
Cause Of the EUdcuation-W Washing
ington, Aug. At has been believed
here in some quarters, for several
days, that the enemy has been evac-
uating Richmond, there being a
reasonable suspicion that a pesti.
lence has broken out in the city.

MARCH ON.
Cont freemen of the South, arise,
Ana iing your banner to the skies:
To Heds of high and bold emprise,
Undauntedly march on.
Doesduty1s pathway seem severe
Youiprospect narrow, dark and drear?
A stsb or two, your way is clear:
So valiantly march on.
Stayhot, tho threatning clouds arise,
Andlhunder rolls, and lightning flies;
Somishelter soon win greet your eyes:
SO hopefully march on.
Atlaart your path. may darkly glide
Som bridge you'll find to cross the tide,
If boldly you march on.
Likegiants frowning in their wrath,
DarArocks may hang across your path;
Yet Aire the gorge some outlet hath:
So patiently march on.
ManA on, as duty points the way;-
Without fear, without delay,
Her mandate cheerfully obey,
And loyalty march on.
Withlofty aim, and spirit true,
The path of duty still pursue
A strength divine shall go with you:
So trustfully march on. G. H.
