Any one who reads secession Democratic
paper, or ncgro~hatlng, pro-sl:very sheet Of
acy kind, is familiar with the expressions used
by them against everything looking towards
the emancipation OF the negro. Their con-
slant cry is, ttThe North will be flooded with
free Degroes !" s'they will compete with and
sta5Ee out the white lahorcr;'' 'stheT will
swarm all over ttecountry," and much other
clap-trap of similar character. Facts, how
ever, like the following, endorsed By the

to prevent the passage of the emancipation
act in the District ofC Co!umbta, are sufficient

THE GUSHoATs BROUGHT INTO ACTION.
The firing now became incessant, the explo-
sion Of shells constant and most terrific from
both lines, aRd the roar OF musketrY, mingled
with the shouts and cheers OF the contend
ing forces. If re could have seen them, and
ee*inated their strength or number, 1t would
bas~ been some relief, but they were aayanc-
Ing, apparently, to within less than mile Of
our position, under cover Of woods. It was
very evident that our men were being driven
in, and that, too, By an overwhelming force.
At this jUnctute two Of our gunbpaes, the Ga
lena and Aroostook moved forward some half
3 mile and opened fire upon the left with their
5tpounderg, the sLells exploding IL the edge
Of the woods along the line Of hills where it
was supposed the enemy would attempt to
turn our lett. No doubt these terrific mis-
siles had an excellent effect in deterTing them
from this enterprise, and in retardiug their
advance. In so long range there Was danger
that some Of our own men might be hit, and
signal station was established on the top Of
an old house overlooking the field, and also
commanding q view Of the river, The firing
from the Galenl was directed in front By these
signals. The Jacob Bell and also the Aroos-
took fired several shells during the last part
Of the battle.
Meantime the contest ragged with terrible
fury along our whole front aud right. Explo-
ding shot filed the air, and rihed shot SCREAM
ed overhead. 50 thick Has the cloud Of dust
enve1oping the field, 1t was impossible, except
from the. sound, to determine which way the
tide of battle ebbed or flowed. The gunboats
kept up discharge Of their heavy shells upon
the enemy's position. Provost Marshal Par
ter. meantime took charge Of the disabled ani
sick soldiers, and conducted them to the rear
4 large number Of stragglers filled the road
who seemed to have business in m opposite
direction from that in which the enemy was
coming.
The days contest wound up by diminu
endo Of mueketry, and by dark all firing, ex
eept an occasional shot, had ceased. It va:
too latefto obtain any list Of killed and wound
ed, or in fact to learn definitely the result O.
the fight. The Jacob Bell went down to Cit,
Point ordering up the Southfeld, and al tat
other vessels lying below.
It should be borne in mind that the Wld'
bottoms along the river separate the guabo 1T
in many places, some two miles from the force!
operating on the hills. Tie gnnboats G4len1
Marstauza, Aroostook, MarasLa and Port Roy
81, are near By, and ought to be able to rende
valuable assistance to the army Until it can b
placed in position to separate. The iudica
tions are that the enemy will continue to har
rass our position, and give the troops no res
day or light, until they have been dis1odge Q
compelled to embark. Should ,afflirs rcac;
the latter crisis, where are the traneports t.
receive such an army on board, with its i'm
mense material OF Wat? There are Eearcel

on board the wounded AID sick, to say moth
