Lamentation in Rebellion.
From the Memphis Avalanche.

To-day has been set apart by President
Davis for prayer and supplication for the
success of armies. We are told in scrip
turc that the prayers of the righteous avail
eth much, and surely there never has been
an occasion more impcriously calling uron
righteous Southrons to implore Divine
aid. We hope and trust that all our
stores and workshops will be closed. that
trade for the moment will cease; that the
doleful cry of the auctioneer. "going.
gone." will be suspended: that onr ladies'
will give over for day. ct least; the pur-
chase Of useless articles to get rid of Con-
federate notes. and that all classes of the
community will repair with cheerful hearts
and profound humiliation to the sanctuary
of the Most High, and there. as the voice
of one man. unite in the petition dear to
every Southern heart. .God save our
country" These are certainly the dark
days of our Confederacy. and who shall
say. if all OF rs THIS act. with honest
hearts and pure purposes. that He that
''putteth down and buildeth up." shall not
dissipate the darkness. which now sur
rounds US. and make us joyful participants

Berdaa's Sharpshooters.
From the Petersburg (ya.) Express

From the Petersburg (fa.l Express.
Agsntleman informs us of the death Of one
ofM'Clellan's sharpshooters. on the Penin-
sula, under circumstances which possess
interest sufficient to give them to the pub
lic Several of our men, it seems. were
killed while going to spring near by. but
by whom no one could imagine. 1t was
at last determined to stop this inhuman
game. II possible. even at the cost OF kill
ing the hireling himself, who was thus, in
cold blood. butchering our men. So a
sharp look out was kept for the sharp
shooter; and the next time he fired. the
smoke of his rifle revealed the locality OF
his pit. That night pit was dug by the
Confederate soldiers. commanding the po-
sition of the Yankee sharpshooter, and
arrangements made to get rid of the an
noying creature. For this purpose a
young Kentuckian was placed in our pit.
with a trnsty rifle. and provisions enough
to last him until the next night. Next
morning early. a man was dispatched as
usual with two buckets to go to the spring
He had proceeded about two hundred
yards, when the Yankee msrksman eleva-
ted himself. and placing his rifle to his
shoulder, was about to pull the trigger.
but the Kentuckian was too quick for him,
for he pulled mis- trigger first. and stimuli
taneously Herewith the Yankee fell. Up
on repairing to the spot-which the Ken
tnckian did immediately-he discovered a
rifle pit. and sturdy Yankee in it. in the
last agonies of expiring nature. The pit
was provided with cushioned chair, pipes
and tobacco. liquors anu provisions. But
the rife which had been used was really 9
valuable prize. 1t was Of most superb
manufacture. and supplied with the latest
invention--an improved telescope sight
upon its end. The pit had been dug al
night. and its occupant had been provis-
ioned at night. so but for a sharp lookout
for the smoke of his gun. there is no say
ing how long this Yankee vandal would
have enjoyed the luxury of killing South
ern men, without even chance of losiag
his own worthless life. We are gratified
to know that he at last met with right
eous fate.

soldier to battle. There was no faltering
on the part of the 48th; the men fell in with
the greatest alscrity. and we were speed
lily on the march for the scene of conflict.
A force Of 10000 Of the rebels had come
out aud made an attack on our advance.
consisting of about 5000. We marched
more rapidly than on any previous day.
yet there was not q murmur. We met
many Of the cavalry in full retreat, and
the wounded were being borne constantly
to the rear. We marched about two
miles. halted. and formed in line of battle.
but the enemy thought best to fall back on
the appearance OF reinforcsments. and we
saw them no more. Every man in our
division would have been glad to have had
them come out. The fight was q draw
game. Our loss was about one hundred
in killed. wounded and prisoners. A de-
serter has since reported that the rebel loss
was about four hundred. The 4Sth did
not have an opportunity to participate.
but the courage Of the men was tried, per-
hsps. quite as much as by the whistling Of
bullets. Some Of the cavalry were pretty
badly frightened. but the remarks they
made as we passed them. msgnifying the
numbers Of the enemy, and the sight Of
the wounded. bleeding and dying. only
served to quicken the steps of our men.
and to cause them to ask to be hurried on.
We remained in line Of battle four hours.
and then marched back to camp. The
grand attack must soon be made. / be-
lieve the blow will be decisive--that trea-
son will be crushed forever. My greatest
fear is that the rebels will evacuate Corin.h.
reports Of which continually reach us.
Remember me to all Plymouth friends.
Very truly yours.

Why tho reporting of battle by tele-
graph. by letter. or by word of mouth.
should deprive man of every particle of
common sense. or every spark of principle.
we know not; but the fact is SO. A battle
is no sooner begun than we are notified by
reliable" dispatch that the whole ar
my Of the enemy will certainly be killed or
captured" This we heard in regard to
Donelsori. Elkhorn, Shiloh, and nearly
every other battle which has been fought
/. has been claimed that the people of the
North are liars. and that we Of the South
are truthful. This is delusion. We are
fast learning to tell as big lies. as many
lies, as foolish and self-eviGent lies as the
Yankees. Every body knows that "the
whole army of the enemy will certainly be
killed or captured" means that the Con-
federates will be defeated next day. Blu,
why choose prepos.erous falsehood to con-
vey disagreeabic truth? Why not say
''the advantage is so far on our side. but
the battle is not decided yet; the enemy's 4
endorsements may come up"? Or
when the stories OF passengers by the cars
are given. why not sift them. rejecting rig
idly all that savors Of the least doubt, and
reporting only what is well authenticated:
Why raise false hope and false Joy in the
people?
Another piece of stupidity on the par
of our newspaper and telegraph men, j,
the inor,!inate putting of this or that gen.
eral. Endless ridicule has been heapct
upon Mr.. Davis by comparing him tt

The three iron gunboats OF the Monitor
model, which were ordered by the Govern
ment Immediately after the engagement of
the Monitor with the Mer,imac, have been
commenced by Mr. Rowland at the Cont
mental Works, Greenpoint. They are to
be built very much like the Monitor. ex-
cept that they are each to have two revolv-
ing shut -proofturrets instead OF one. The
model is also slightly altered. SO as to
make them better sea- boats, and to give
them greater speed. Like the Monitor.
they are to be propellers. the deck being
bot little above tho water lire. Their
length is TO be 302 feet over ell, with q
breadth of beam of IL feet. and depth Of
hold of IL feet. The armor is to be six
inches in thickness. There are at present
but two of them commenced, but the blocks
have been laid for the reception of the keel
of the third. The work is we'll along on
the first one however. which is inside the
ship-house. The frame. which is entirely
of iron, except ut the bow and stern, and
the work of putting on the first layer Of
iron plates has already commenced. The
iron ribs and p'a,es are forged in q sepa-
rate workshop. but small forges are set up
all along each side Tor heating the bolts.-.
As large crew of men as can work with
convenience are busily engaged in riveting
the plates. 1t will be a. least fonr months
before the FIRST boat is launched.
