Brig. Sen. aaxcy Gregg, OF S. G.

Inc name OF Gen. Maxcy Gregg is historical
In this revolution, and there is no need of anv
detalied review OF incidents in his career to re-
mlnd Inc public OF his virtues and services His
name is familiarity oupled with the first move
ments OF the war, he having been appointed TO
the command of the First South Carolina regi-
ment, the Irst force from that State which ar
rived In Virginia. The term of the service of
this regiment having expired, it returned to
South Carolina, but It's commander Col Gregg
remained In Virginia, and subsequently, reorgan-
lied the regiment, which has since been con-
stantly and conspicueusiy in service. Its COM
mander was made a Brigadier General several
months ago.
General Gregg, although the occupations of
MS HE were principally professional, had large
and brilliant political reputation in his State.-
lie was leading member of the bar and prac-
ticed his profession with distinction and success
for period OF more than twenty years, we be-
lIeve IN Columbia. In politics he WIS an ex-
treme State Rights man, and stood, with others,
at the head of that party in South Carolina
General Gregg was remarkable for his firm
and unfinching temper. In the army he had an
extraordinary reputation for self possession and
sssang froid'' in battle. He was never discon-
eerted, and had the happy faculty of inspiring
the courage OF his troops not so much by words
as Dy MS cool determination and even behaviour.
Alter the severe wound of Gen. Gregg was
received, he sent for Gen Jackson, with whom
he bad long interview. When it was announ-
ced that the wound was considered mortal, he
one OF his aids to send several mes
sages to different friends in South Carslina.-
Among others was one to Gov. Pickens, which
was reported to US as follows: ssTelI Governor
Pickens, if am to die at this time, | yield my
life cheerfully, fighting for the independence of
South Carolina.'

Mr. EDITOR 1.-THE public" has long since been
styled whimsical jade, and very few who undertake
the onerous task of serving her. succeed to the
pectation is however, often founded in msapprehen-
sion of the duties entrusted to grave functionares
and no matter what may be the action of agents. those
actions are seen from various stand points, and ap
plauded or denounced, as they effect, favoraby or
unfavorably, the private interests of particular per-
sons. This applies, WITH equal truth, whether the
office be gratuitous or sallaried inequality of dis
pensaon is the charge universally laid at the door
of all agencies and especially those embracing what
might be stamped benevolent agents who work for
good wages have no leisure time, SO long as duty
crowded with leisure, whilst the enterprise commit
ted their hands grows in compexity, and presently
is turned over to successor. to unrayel, or make
confusion doubly confounded. However unjust the
verdict often is passed upon public servants, yet it
does not always follow, that because it is popular
clamor, it is necessarily unjust. The public eye Is
the alert and does see and however impotent
TO correct yet her tongue potent to condemn. This
is but meagre specimen of reflections brought TO
the surface by hearing the charges rung the great
SALT question, now. so rife in the county. 1t may

Brig. Gen. Thos. R. r.. Cobb, of Georgia.


We stated last week that this valuable officer
was killed in the battle of Saturday the 18th.
The news of his death will scarcely reach
family in his beloved State unaccompanied by
the most painful sorrow. Georgia loved him as
great, learned and GOOD man. Though never a
politician nor offce-seeker, he filed with re-
markable fidelity and ability many positions OF
public trust. He digested the statutes of the
State, was long the Reporter of the decisions of
the supreme Court of Georgia, and was one of
the Committee to prepare the Code of Georgia.
He was also one OF the most distinguished and
influential members of the Secession Convention
of that State, and afterwards one of the ablest
members of our first Congress.
When the war broke out, he raised a Legion
and entered the service of our country as sol
dier, and man in the army has served his
country more arduously and conscientiousiy.-
The feeling of love anG confidence between him
and his command was reciprocal, pure and sin
cere.
Perhaps it is not saying too much for the dis
tingushed dead to rank him as the ABLEsT law
DER OF his State--he was certainly the ablest of
his years, His services have been of lncalcula-
Bile benefit to the citizens and bar of his State,
by both OF whom he was greatly loved and hon
ored. 8is 9ei W tlstslB f@
In his death the cause of EDUCATION has lost a
faithful, laborious, efficient and distinguished
advocate; religion one of its pnrest, most de-
voted, humble, jealous and brightest ornaments.
The desperate encounter of Gen. Cobb's Brig
ade with the enemy, occurred on Mr.. John l..
Marye's place, just outside of the town of Fre,'-
erlcksburg. stone wall runs through this
place, on either side of small building, and

The position is on bill, separated from the

and when within musket range they laid down
and opened fire; but finding this had no effect,
they gatherea up for charge. General Cobb
waited until they had approached within hum
dred yards, when he ordered his men TO hre.-
The effect is represented to have been terrific
The approaching column was broken, and in the
retreat many were left dead upon the tied. A

Battle at Fredericksburg, Saturday, the 18th
Inst. -

We clip the following account OF the battle at
Fredericksburg, on Saturday, the 18th inst,
from the Richmond Dispatch of the 18th:
Ahout 81 O'Clock the booming of the first gun
was heard at Hamilton's Turnout, away off to
the left. in the direction of the town. In short
time the successive reports of atillery told un-
mitsalxabIv that the ball was opening, and along
the whole line of the right wing the troops
buckled on their armor for tho conflict Deiore
them. AS the morning wore on, and the . log
which had partially obscured the light was hiteo
from the earth. the cannonading became more
general until about IL O'Clock, when what mad
before been but an occasional report became an
uninterrupted roar. So general was thls cannon
ade that an unpracticed ear could scarce dlStin-
guish the report of our own from the guns OF
the enemy.
umps of the enemy in regular order, were OBJ
served moving up from their position near the
river. in the direction of our batteries on the
hillside. three -folrths of mile in advance OF
Hamilton's crossing AS they moved across the
wide valley stretching along between the river
and the railroad. one of our batteries away on 10
the right opened upon them fire which was
kept up until the head of their columns had
reached the woods in which our line was formed,
when the sharp crack of infantry, first at inter
walls and then in volleys quickly succeeding each
other, was heard and bserved from the surround
ing hills. At this time tie light at this point
had become general and very severe, both sides
contesting the ground with more than usual OBJ
stinacy. Here, and to the left of the right
wing, the battle ragged for perhaps an hour, our
engaged being A. 2. Hill's division and a por-
ton of Early's and Taliaferro's forces. Mean
while, the enemy's columns were observed to
falter, and presently to recede when it very soon
became evident that the fire was too warm for
them, and that they were yielding and gradually
giving way, as our own forces pressed on. For
a distance ofabout one mile they were followed
by our men, who then withdrew from the pur-
suit, and retired to the west side of the railroad,
in the woods where the line was first formed
| Later in the afternoon, the enemy renewed the
| attack, which was met with such spirit that 1t
was but family sustained, and they again fell
back in the direction of the river. This ended
the heavy fighting on the right of the line, and

Pu:itans Old and New.

We are told in MacauIay's history of Crom-
Wells Protectorate, in describing the character
of the Roundhead, Puritans, that "they hated
BEARBAITING, not because it gave pain to the
bear, but because it gave pleasure to the spec
tators. Indeed, they contrived to enjoy the
double pleasure of tormentipg both the specta-
tors and the bear.'' So the Yankee Puritans of
the present day treat the slave and the owner of
the slave. They hate slavery, not because it
gives pain to tne slave, but because 1t gives
pleasure and profit to the owner of the slave.--
They are now endeavoriug to enjoy the double
pleasure of tormenting the slave and the owner
Of the slave. Their zeal for the abolition of sla-
very is not because they love the slave, but be-
cause they hate the owner of the slaye.-Rich.

discharged their pieces with deadly aim, they

position was held throughout the day and after
the fall of the General, at 2 o'clock, P. NJ,
there was not man in the brigade but seemed
inspired with desiue TO a,enge his death. It
was remarked that General Cobb displayed
spirit of invincible courage, and doubtless the
fact that he was fighting in sight OF his mothers
birthplace, now invaded and polluted by mere
eenary foe, contributed somewhat to his deter
mination to die there rather than surrender.
