vor. This was done until we had captured the enc.
my's entrenched camp It then relieved us from al
pressure on the left and kept the enemys attention
distracted. .
On Sunday the whole of Longstreet's, Hugers
and Hills Divisions WERE the battle ne!d await
ing an attack. Tho enemy opened hre ABOUT aun-
rise, but slackened his fire and kept up but desui
tory skrmish during the day. The desperate pay
onet charges spoken of by the Yankees, were not
seen by any Confederate soldiers-none ofnonr
troops were holly engaged at any time except PICK
etts Brigade Three fourths OF our men oid nov
fire shot. The day was spent in removing the
wounded Of both armies to Richmond. in sending
UPWARDS of 600 stand Of arms to the Ordnance De-
partment and medical and commissary stores to their
appropriate departments.
The eight (S} pieces captured at the Fort and the
two captured by Jenkins were sent to the rear Sat
urday night.

ton Monday afternoon, hours after we had left it
They are the most sensation creatures on the face
of the earth, and they may have stormed the place
las they claim they did, at the point of the bayonet
but they were we'll aware before they made their
furious charge, that the Confederates were miles
away.
The plain statement which have given you, can
be attesed by thousands Of living witnesses and it
is to be hoped that it will correct the misapprehen-
sions among our own people.
On Saturday we bca: more than double our num-
bers. On Sunday three Divisions, or one Corps,
were opposed to three Yankee Corps-Keyess Sum
ner's and Heintzelman'S-and found so little diff
Guilty in keeping them in check, to be able to re-
move the captured arms and stores.
The Yankees acknowledge that Reyes was thrash
cd, but claim victory upon the ground that Sum-
ner and IIeintzelman were not. They omit the
very important fact these Generals did not fight
and, therefore, could not be whipped We waited
for them with considerable patience all day Sunday,
hoping that their pride would prompt them to I'M
dertake the recapture of their works. Failing in
our expectations wewent back to our former posi-
ton, TO-: the simple reason that the enemy had en-

A friend, writing to US from Western North Caro-.
lina says: There is great effort making in this
County, and believe throughout the State to sup
press the Standard 1t is settled determination,
in my opinion, for often hear it mentioned. They
fear the Stanaari, because of its influence with the
people pray you, defend the rights of the people
at all hazards and at all times"
We beg to assure our friend that we shall con-
tinue to advocate truth and to stand by the people,
and to make the Staadar1 "a terror to eyll-doers,
and praise to them that do WE'LL" We do not

Col. CAMPBELL.-The fall of this able officer in
the battle before Richmond on Friday last, will
awaken the deepest regret, in the minds of thou
sands in this State. The 18th n c. State Troops on
that bloody field, was completely decimated 1t is
rumored, butwe cannot vouch for its TRUTH that no
company in the regiment was left with more than
fifteen men unhurt 1t exhibited gallantry which
abs covered the living and the dead with glory.
Col. Campbell fell leading on his men with the
GOODNESS, skill and intrepdity for which he was dis
tnguished. His regment.was devoted to him and
reposed entire confidence in his ability and gallantry
