W The following is an extract from
Gen. Mitchell's report of the Battle of
Chaplin Hills, referring to the 31st Brig
ade, composed of the 21st and 39th Hi
nois, 10Th Wisconsin, and lOlst Ohio
81 ordered Col Carlin TO advance with
his brigade rapidly to Gen. Sheridar's
right and aid his division.
"Col. Carin Immediately advanced,
leading his brigade through skirt of TIM
Der to the open fields op the right, and
upon ascending the brow of the Lill, dis.
covered the enemy advancing rapidly in
great force upon Gen. Sheridan's right.
Col. Carlin Immediately formed his brig

enemy, who after a moments stand, gave
way TO the impetuosi'y Of the charge, and
| breaking in disorder, ran precipitaIely
to and through the town of Perryyille,
Col. Carlin pressing them closely ill they
| reached the other side and termed under
the protection of two batteries Which were

"The gallant Carlin charged with his
brigade through the enemy's lines, COM
petely piercing bis centre, but finding his
ardoc had outstripped all support, and
having the enemys artillery and infantry
on both TANKS, be fell back during the
confusion of the enemy to a position i'm
mediately adjoining the town, and placing
his battery in position on the west side Of
the town, the rebel batteries and our own
fired directly over it till darkness made
further action impossible.
This charge gave the officers and men
OF the 3lst brigade splendid opportunity
to evince the intrepid, gallant and sol.
dierly qualities which the occasion show
ed they possessed
The manner in which they stood the
subsequent severe artillery fire, is worthy
OF all praise.
"In Col Carlin's advance, che 18Th ILL.,

The News.


For some days Fredericksburg, Va, has been
threatened by large force Of the enemy under
Burnside A battle has been considered imminent.
Large numbers of the women and children have
been removed, and the last account is that Burn
side had demanded the surrender of the place. 1t
is understood that Gen. Lee has refused the sur
render. The Herald of that place, however, seems
to be of the opinion, from the number of Yankee
transports in the river that Burnside is preparing
to change his base The citizens are said to prefer
that the town be shced, rather than surrendered.
Port Royal, but none at Fredericksburg yet.
President Davis has instructed Gen. Holmes,
commanding in the west to investigate the facts Of
the alleged murder Of ten Confederate citizens by
Gen. Mcneil, Of the Lincoln army, and iftrue, to de-
mand the surrender of Mcneil, and if not complied
with, Gen. Holmes is to inform the Yankee COM
mander that he, Gen. Holmes, is ordered by the
President to execute the first ten U. s. officers who
may be captured and fall into his hands.
Manassas and Warrenton are said to have been
evacuated by the enemy, he having burnt great
many of his stores.
We have nothing fr,m the West Of much interest.
Rosencranz and his army are near Nashville, Tenn.
Northern accounts indicate an early attack upon
Charleston. They concur also in opinion that
Fredericksburg is to be the base of operations to
move upon Richmond.

The Law! The Law !!

We have heard it said, by persons who have had
on opportunity of knowing that nearly all the con-
script deserters are those who have been forced into
companies or regiments against their will. The
conscript law secures to the conscrpt the right to
select his company regiment 1t is cruel to re-
fuse him that right
We hold that every soldier and every conscript
should stand by his colors and do his duty, but we
hold also, that conscript has rights well as &C.
neral, and he ought to insist on those rights. When
these rights arc denied him by the Confederate 60
vernment, let him sue out his habeas corpus Let
him insist on the law. The government asks for
his blood-let him ask for the law. Every lawyer
is sworn to make out the writ and every Judge
is sworn to enforce it. If men are to be handcued
to fight for liberty, let them at least have those
rights which the law secures to them. The law! -
the law!! Let US have that, and nothing less. 1t
was dark day for the Southern Confederacy, when
the volunteering system was abandoned, and the
conservation resorted to- We doubt very much
whether liberty can be achieved by despotic means.

The LEGISLATURE.

We publish to-day in full the proceedings Of
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
1t will be seen that the two Houses on Saturday,
passed a resolution authorizing the Governor to
prevent the expectation of articles Of prime neces
sity from the State. This is just and necessary
measure 1t will not only retain our own supplies
for our own people, but it will tend to repress the
spirit of speculation.

Troops for State Defence.

The general impression seems to be that the Leg
islature will adopt the Recommendation Gov. Vance
to raise ten thousand troops for State defence No
plan for raising them has yet been matured, but it
is more than probable that volunteers will be called
for between the ages of IS and As.
But this will interfere with the conservation law.
