you. New Mexico now belongs to the Southern Con-

On yesterday we had second Leesburg affair. The
fight was opened by Capt Pyrom, commanding detach-

81 A. NJ And from that time, without interruption,
we fought until dark.

intended giving up the ship" have no time to give
any PAL tcuars Enough to say they fought like tigers
and as matter Of course we outought the tigers this
time.

IT SOMEHOW strikes us that there may be something
in the report of victory having been gained in South
Western Missouri by General Price. 1t keeps coming
It's pretty certain that the New York Herald ad.
mits that General Price cut Seigels army all to pieces
on the Dist ut at Ma7svile, Arkanzas and says that
the latter was retreating on st. Louis. The 2Ist u
seems to be a mistake. The former statement was the
"25th." Whether the Herald's statement is true
or not is different thing II true, it is strange that
we have had nothing of it from Fayetteville or Fort
Smith, Arkatzls, Via Memphis Perhaps communica-
ton may be interrupted in some way on that line We
are not aware that any dispatches have through
from that section as late as the alleged battle.
A letter dated Springfield, Missouri March 2lst, is
published in the Cincinnati Commercial, which speaks
of battle then imminent, as Price had been heavily

dispatches having been sent by General Curtis for it.
Three pieces Federal artillery, which had been disa

Springfield to be repaired ordered back immedi-
eteIy, and were sent although they had not been in
Springfield hour. These, and other evidences point
ed 10 another and desperate conflict as then near
at hand and give some color to the report published by
the New York Herald that great battle resulting in
decided Confederate victory, has since occurred.
OF the dsaftction in some of the Kentucky regi-

Hands Wanted,

The Confederate Government wants four hundred
hands to be employed works deemed necessary for
the public safety. Coed will be taken of them
and good raons allowed aud wages paid at the rate of
IS cents day.
We admit that this uniavorabe time for getting
hands, most agricuursts either planting max
ing ready to plant but would beg all our planters
on the river aud away from it to reflect that while
planting, they ought in all prudence to think about
gathering. 1t may depend upon the promptude with
which labor be got for the public work. wheth-
er they the enemy shall gather the crops to be
planted This ought to be sufficient motive to in-
duce all to spare large per centage of their force
as they possibly can.
Agents will wait upon the planters in the Cape Fear
country, and We trust that speedy response will be
made, aid the labor promptly secured and Employed
Now is not time for teDth-way measures-for sending
thirty hands, when three hundred needed and called
