Terrible Rebel Slaughter ut Antietum.

Terrible Rebel Slaughter at Antietnm.
An officer of the 18th Georgia regiment
writes to the Savannah Republican let
ter, which shows that the slaughter of the
rebels in the battle of Antietam has not
been exaggerated, at least in regard to the
regiments whose movements he witnessed.
He says:
THE fifteenth were posted in narrow
path, washed out into a regular gully, and
were fired into by the enemy from the
front, rear and left flank. The men stood
their ground nobly, returning the fire IN
til nearly two-thirds Of their number lay
dead or wounded in that lane. Out Of two
hundred and ten carried into the fight over
one hundred and twenty-five were killed
and wounded in less than twenty minutes.
The slaughter tDGs horrible. When ordered
tp retreat I could scarcely extricate my
self from the dead and wounded around
me. A man could have walked from the
head of our line to the foot on their bodies.
The survivors Of the regiment retreated
very orderly back to where General Ander-
sons brigade rested. The brigade suffered
terribly. James South Carolina Battalion
was nearly annihilated. The 18th Geor-
gia lost nearly all their commissioned
officers" At night only ifty-fve men of
the 18th remained fit for duty. They were
over forty-eight hours without anything to
eat or drink.

How Floyd wus FOIIed.

A Fort Delaware correspondent Furnish
es the Pittsburgh Dispatch with the follow
ing little bit of history
"a day or two since, I obtained some
particulars in relation to Floyds attempt
ed shipment Of heavy artillery from Pitts
burgh, which, in the absence Of individual
names, might, nevertheless, be Of some in
terest. These pieces, ostensibly ordered
for Ship Island, near New Orleans, were
really intended for Fort Morgan, at the
entrance of Mobile Bay The platforms were
constructed at Watervliet; but, as the en-
gineer foresaw treason in the Secretary Of
War, they were purposely made three inches
too short, with other defects which render
ed them useless for Fort Morgan, but quite
suitable for new work at the opening of
New York harbor. Other platforms were
then ordered. The glacis, or outside were
prepared for their reception and Fort Nor
gan was pushed to completion. Floyd had
all things ready for the great guns atPitts-
burgh, when events were precipitated by
the rash treason Of South Carolinians, and
the rebels lost both guns and platforms.

The sbootiur Match in GERMANY.


Letters from Frankfort contains copious
particulars of great German shooting
match shortly to take place In that city,
and at which four hundred rifle clubs and
upwards of four thousand rifemen have
already announced their intention TO be
present. It is expected that six thousand
marksmen will compete. Every rife club
sends some prize to be shot for; various
other societies and corporations have con-
tributed gifts for the same purpose. 1t is
said that the prizes thus received or an
nouneed amount to FIVE hundred. Among
them are many rifles, double -barrelled
fowling pieces, revolvers, hunting knives,
silver cups, gold watches, and objects
Of the most varied description. The city
Of F. ankfort gives a prize Of one
thousand seven hundred florins, (abOut
1851 an anonymous society has sent two
thousand forms to be shot for in two
prizes, another nameless donor contributes
a silver basin containing twenty five
ducats; oil paintings by old masters, COM
plete sets Of Goethe's works, choice wines
and kirschwasser in casks and cases, sill
Yer-mounted yataghans, and q host Of
other articles, are among the contribu-
tons. The German residents in Amster-
dam have sent costly silver table service
to be shot for, and at Frankfort number
of ladies have formed society, and have
produced a most magnificent banner for
the rife club of that place
On the first instant, was published at
Frankfort, the first number Of the Off
sisl Festival Journal, for the Universal
German Rifle Festival held at Frankfort
on-the-M Main, in 1852" Up to the first Of
July, three thousand Eve hundred Ger
mans and six hundred and thirty-two
Swiss had announced their intention Of
competing. The preparations are on an
extensive scale. A vast temporary hall
has been erected, capable of containing
some Eve thousand persons, which will be
used for meetings and oratory, judging
from the fact that it is provided with a
tribune for speakers and table for re-
porters; also for dining, for it contains
two hundred tables for twenty persons
each. There is a kitchen two hundred feet
long, ample cellerage and store-rooms.-
Extensive contracts have been made with
the Frankfort tradesmen, and much eating
and drinking seems to be reckoned upon.
One brewery furnishes one thousand FIVE
hundred barrels Of beer, and the trihing
quantity of eighty-seven thousand bottles
Of wine is mentioned by the local journals
as having been contracted for.

"NoTHING TO TAKE BACK. An incident

of Vallandighsm to Mansfield which is
worthy Of being put on record. After the

Union Among Common Friends in Congress.

There never was a party that had so
many reasons for and inducements to con-
cert of action as the party composed of the
friends Of the war and the General Admin
istration. They have a country to serve
and to save, and they have immense politi-
cal interests to rescue from injury and
destruction. If they are not thoroughly
united they lose both country and party,
and give the advantage to psrtisans whose
hopes are all concentrated in the separation
OF the Union, and whose party is in active
sympathy with the rebellion. The Union
men in the comming short session Of Con-
gress, as the representatives Of the Union
people, should eonscientiously consider the
relation to their vast constituency, and
their duty in the premises. If they can
move in serried columns, they may accomp-
lish much before the 4th Of March, 1868;
but if they are divided, fatal and irrepar-
able evils will ensue The only basis of CO.
operation is the policy of the President of
thei eiUnited States in all its details Those
who oppose or embarrass that policy can
of course be regarded as the open adver-
saries Of the Administration. There are
decided maiorities in both branches of Con-
gress in favor of this policy, and if these
majOrities can be vitaliZed and made to
move in harmony, the happiest results will

The new Monitor Passaic made the trial
voyage to Fortress Monroe in q perfectly
successful manner. By an improvement
upon the Monitor, the leakage about the
turret was entirely prevented. Trouble
had been feared at sea from the impOssi-
biiity Of using the compass in any Ordi-
nary manner, without its being affected by
the great mass Of iren around it. This
was Obviated by the ingenious arrange
msnt Of 8 lOOking-glsss rejecting the
movements Of the compass to the wheels
man, the compass itself being far removed
from the deadening influence Of the iron
house.
As to its ses-gOing qualities, CORES
pondent writes to the Tribune:
'The third principle tried is the general
sea-gOing qualities Of the new Monitors.
Being water-tight, where alone water
could always come, they are safe. If
waves reached the top Of the turret they
may wash over but cannot drown any
body. The steadiness Of the craft is won
derful. Moving through the toughest tide,
she is as free from rolling as one could
well imagine; with fne engines she might
steam around the world We are ordered

A Connecticut secessiouist Outdoue.

A secessiOnist, who lives between Shelf
field and Canovan, Connecticut, attempted
to raise a flag, but loyal neighbor was
resolved that he should not. Getting all
ready for hosting, he seized the rope and
began to pull, but the patriot pulled also
on the other rope. The secessionist thought
to tire the Union man out and hung on; the
neighbOr sent for his supper and the seces-
sionist for his lunch. When the Union
man called also for buffalo skin for his
bed over night, the seeessionist gave in,
bundled up his flag, and went home amid
the cheers Of a erowd.-M Z. Post.

A Washington dispatch reports this
latest specimen Of fraudulent speculation; !;
"An enterprising Western chemist has
been attempting to engineer through the
Surgical Department the adoption of gran
ulated beef tea, as an addition to hospital
stores, for the entire army, which he pro
posed to furnish. The Surgeon General
was on the point of giving heavy order
for it, but an analysis being made, it was
found to contain no beef or muscle at all,
and to be simply preparation Of starch
The speculation would have been one Of
very handsome proportion, and it came
very near being successful"

'dashing steam yacht was preparing for

she would soon be heard from in Amer

little craft, swift as deer, and trim as
hunter. There is now at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, vessel which is supposed to be the
one alluded to. She is called the Ouchita,
and was captured in trying to run the
blockade. She is a beautiful model of na-
