enrollments, required by General Order No. 4 -.
dated August IL, 1862, are returned by the
Listers of the several towns to the Office of
the Adjutant and Inspector General which
will not be until the twenty fifth day of August,
A. ID. 1862. But the quota of the State being

accounts Of the battle at Baton Rouge. The
Confederates under command Of Gen. Brock
inridge, it is said, approached the place n the
4th. and the battle commenced the next morn
ing. Both sides fought desperately, the Con
federates at one time occupylnga portion OF
the Federal camp, and destroyed much baggage
and camp euulpage, but we're finally compelled
20 retire with severe loss. The Federal loss IS
estimated at two hundred ana fifty killed ana
wounded; among the former was Gen. VIII
lians. the co1nmander. TIE Confederate ram
Arkansas grounded few miles above Baton
Rouge, and in that condition was attacked and
destroyed The Confederates were supposed
20 have much the largest force in the vicinity
but Federal reinforcements were being rapidly
sent up from New Orleans, distant one hun
drea AMI seventy-nine miles. This account re-
ports Gen, Lowell killed, ana Gen. Breckin-
ridge to have lost an arm.
The battle took place on the edge Of the
Sown, Gen. Williams being unwilling TO expose
the helpless women and children. A number
Of prisoners, including Capt. Blunt, Breckin-
ridge's aid, were captured.
One account says the strength Of the Con
tederate troops is variously estimated at from
5000 to $4,000, under Gems Lowell and Brock
iaridge The Federal loss IS $50 killed and
a ii wounded, including 3 large proportion Of
officers. The Confederate loss, according 70
the statement Of the prisoners TAKEN was large.
The ram Arkansas Was just above Baton
Rouge, but did not take part in the combat
Another account states that the Arkansas was
aground above Baton Rouge, when the Fede-
raj steamer Essex and other gunboats went 70
her and set her ON fire, and she blew up.
The transport steamer Lewis Whitman ran
into the gunboat Oneida, fifty miles above n.
Orleans, ON the night OF the 6th and the
TRANSPORT sunk. She had On board the body
Of Cen Williams, with an escort Of SIX of his
body guard, also forty-two Federal and three
Confederate wounded. The body Of General
Williams was recovered, and thirtyeight woun-
ded soldiers and three Of the body guard were
saved.
The official report Of COL Cahill, command
ing the post after the death Of Gen. Williams,
states that the Confederate force vas about ten
regiments, and that, after fight of great Sc
verify, the enemy were repulsed. Gen. VIII
liams was killed by 8 rife ball through the
chest. During The battle the Federal forces
wer, at one time obliged to retire about quar-
ter Of a. mile from their original position, and
the enemy was thus able temporarily to occupy

A Case In Point.

A large portion of the Republicans see
no other way of putting down the rebellion
than to proclaim freedom to the slaves
They appear to think that if prociama-
ton declaring freedom 10 tho slaves were
sent forth, it would be the means Of pro-
noting insurreetions amongst the slaves
and Of causing the rebels to yield to our
arms. In other words, they desire to make
this war a raid against the institution of
slavery instead of q contest fo- the defence
Of the constitution and the Union.
Now, contemporary has furnished us
with at least one example from American
history, of the failure of the emancipation
policy.
10 the year 1876, an extensive rebellion
led on by the courageous and eloquent Ma
thauiel Bacon, broke out in the colony of
Virginia, against the Government Of Sir
W liam Barkeley. The rebellion was of
such formidable character that Sir Will
lam was actually compelled to withdraw
from jamestown across the Chesapeake
There be succeeded in collecting an army
from the Eastern shore and the seameu in
the harbor. Proclaiming Liberty to the
slaves IF the insurgents he SGT sail with
considerable force and landed again at
! jamestown.
Bat, what followed then? Did the
slaves flick to Sir Williams standard p
Did his proclamation Of EN- ,neiratiop, like
a SIR Ike of masiss g break the back bone
of rebellion ?" Did the insurgents yield
The silence Of history leaves US to infer
that but few, if my, OF the slaves e:er
Tough: ag list the masters.
Whether inclination or force prevented
them is not material. 1t IS only impor tant
to known that Bark,ley's proclamation
neither brought strength to his own cause
nor weakened that of the rebels. Indeed
it seemed to have the very reverse effect
for according to history, the rebellion burs
forth with ten times greater energy thar
before the capital of the ancient Domin
ion was burned to the ground and tue reb
els were completely victorious until after
Bacon's death, when the instruction wa
quelled. Proclamations OF freedom to tn
slaves were no part of the means employed
in effecting that end.
Surely Sumner, and Lovejoy, aud Wade
and Wilson, and the emancipation advo
Gates, should learn lesson from this b1e
page Of history. II the effort of the an
cient Governor of Yirgiris, nearly tw
hundred years ago, failed to put down tn
rebellion by declaring freedom to the slave
what do the radicals Of the present day ez
pect to accomplish by the adoption of tina
policy? If the abolition policy be adopte,
TO day, nothing would be su5tracted fror
the secession cause. On the other hand
it would make the var more desperate an
hopeless.
