May 80.
Hon. E. II. Stanton, Secretary Of Var.
The euemy's position and works il
front Of Corinth were exceedingly
strong. He cannot occupy a stronger
position in his fight.
This morning he destroyed an i'm
mense amount of public and privat'
property, stores, provisions, wagons
tents, &C., thrown away by his fleeing
troops.
A large number of prisoners and de.
serters have been captured, estimated
by Gen. Pope at two thousand. Gen
Beauregard evidently distrusts his ar

strong position. His troops are gen.
orally much discouraged and demOral'

sistance has been slight.

THE FIGHT AT LEWISBURG.

"Caught on a hook
Was Colonel Crook,
So the rebel 'Gen Heath" concluded,
A every nice trap"
Without any mishap,
Which the Colonel willy eluded.
The armies met,
Most deadly set,
Did the rebels make to conquer;
But Colonel Crook,
"At the end Of hook"
Soon proved the Yankees were stronger.
The traitors run,
Every son Of a gun,
Leaving their dead the soil TO pollute;
They burn the bridge,
And over the ridge.
Like scared KangarOos take the "shuLe."
'Tis said two men
OF the South; ten
Yankees can thrash aeeordin'
But Harry Heath,
Half scared to death,
Found "debbil of hard way over JOrdin.'
Inversed was the rule,
Taught in Crooks school,
One Yankee 10 three seeeshers;
ltu bWo W ChIINs
Like the lord Harry,
Away skedaddle all the bushwhaekers.
To shoot in the street,
The wounded and weak,
Did the ladies Of Lewisburg strive;
We know not why,
In the wink of an eve,
Crook didn't "wipe out" the rebel hive.
Ben. Buffers creed,
For so bloody deed,
Would surely not prove too cruel;
To let them all pass,
As part Of that class,
Who to the passions Of men furnish fuel.
The time has "arriv',"
When rebels should live
Down below, where they all might revel
In treason and lies,
But blast their eyes,
JEFF Davis would kick out the devil.
RIP. SAW.

EF The fine rains Of the past few
days are proving of inestimable value.
The clouds which have overspread the
heavens, have effectually dispelled the
clouds of gloom and discomfort which
were visible for weeks past on the coun-
tenances of our farmers.
The wheat and grass crops may be
considered as made. Never has the
prospect Of abundant yield been fairer.
True we hear some croaking about the
weevil doing great damage, but this is
to be expected. Croakers will croak
let things be as they may, nor would it
be otherwise, though they had the spe-
cial ordering of them in their own
hands. II there be any truth in the
Teeva proof wheat as alleged, we have
little to fear, as the greater proportion
sown is Of that variety.
The late warm rains are having a
magical effect on corn and potatoes,
and the chances are in favor Of a good
crop. The only thing to be feared is
that enough has not been planted. 1t
is not too late. Farmers, go to work
each of you and put out one acre more.
Although singly it amounts to little,
yetin the aggregate would add millions
to the crop. Prices are tending up
ward-all your grain will be needed
Now is the time. Pitch in.

ABOLITIONIST.

We find here, as elsewhere, a class
of small politicians and party hacks,
who distinguish themselves from tto
rest Of the community by daHning the
"Abolitionists." OF course sauabo is
sacred in their eyes and not to be
touched except with the lash. to make
him use the spade little more briskly
in digging entertainments and rifle pits,
in and behind which their masters can
securely shoot down cur Union hosts,
who are battling to re-establish the Con-
stitution and the Union. But what is
an "AbolitiOnist" in the estimation Of
such politicians? As in all other po-
litical matters. their masters, the scot
ton lords," have answered for them.

HEADQUARTERS 81 BRIGADE,
LEwIsBURe, May 95th, 1862.
ORDER No. 5.

il affords the undersigned great
pleasure in congratulating the troops Of
his command on their brilliant success
of the Esd inst. We were attacked by
a greatly superior force who not only
had the choice of position but had the
morale Of attack.
The 36th and 44th regiments formed
line CT battle under FIRE, a movement
that veteran troops find it difficult to
make. They then advanced in good
order, driving the enemy before them,
dealing death and destruction as they
went, until the enemy fed in great con-
fusion, leaving over one hundred Of
their killed and wounded on the field
We captured four pieces OF artillery,
300 stand Of arms and 100 prisoners.
The 44th capturing their battery, and
the Seth advanced under their heaviest
infantry FIRE.
The result fully justifes the high
standard these regiments were expec-
ted to maintain. To make particular
mention would be invidious since they
behaved so nobly. The artillery, by q
misunderstanding. was not brought into
action. The cd Virginia cavalry, be-
ing held in reserve, had the most diff
cult part to perform, that Of being ex-
posed to the enemy's FIRE without being
able to participate. The Medical and
Qusrtermaster's department deserve
great credit for their energy and zeal IN
carrying the wounded and dead from
the field.
The Surveyors and assistant Survey
ors deserve particular mention for their
skill and untiring attention to the woun-

@ Now that our Congressional
District has been formed, it behooves
our people to cast about them for q
suitable man to represent them in the
next Congress. Not that candidates
viii be less plenty than blaekberries, or
that hosts Of aspiring men are not even
now ready to enter the lists. These
are undeniable facts.
But to get the "right man" is the
point. The next Congress must be a
strong one. Such niscreants as VAL
landigham and Samuel Cox, ought no
longer to disgrace our State by mis-
representing her citizens. If the Legis-
lature did little worthy Of comnenda-
ton, the arrangement Of the Districts
by which these rebel sympathizers are
left out in the cold, is worthy of all
praise. They will be suffered to remain
at home as unworthy Of trust or conf
dence, and despised by every loyal man
in the community. But whilst these
two ceases" are "gone up" we should
take good care that men Of like senti-
ments do not crawl in by the "nomina-
ting system, or political machinery,
which has ever been a most powerful
engine for evil, in furthering the in
terests of crafty, designing men, and
thrusting aside the honest and meritori
Gus.
We call the attention of our readers
to this matter, thus early, believing it tc
be of the highest Importance. The
next Congress will have duties to per
form, beside which, all ordinary legis
lation hitherto has been mere ehilds.
play. To restore the Government o
the revclted States, regulate the fnan
ces, and the many questions arising ou
of the omnipresent "nigger," will form
a part Of the labors of this body.
Let us see to it in time, that in thil
District at least, no man be put up as {
candidate, whose talents, integrity, ant
above all things, loyalty, do not qualify
him for the discharge Of these onerou'
duties. We believe men can be found
in this District possessed of these quail
fcations. Let them not be pushed
aside by the aspiring, and made the
victims Of caucus. We care not from
what county the man is selected
Enough for US to know that he i!
honest, loyal, and capable, and he shall
receive our hearty support. Lacking
these, though from our own county, we
shall oppose him just as heartily.

A FAITHFUL DoG.-The widow OF
Lieut.. P6eff, of Illinois, was enabled
to find her husbands grave at Pitts
burg Landing by seeing dog which
had accompanied the Lieutenant to the
war. The dog approached her with
the intense manifestation of Joy, and
Immediately indicated to her, as well
as he was able, his desire that she
should follow him. She did SO. and
he led the way to a distant part Of the
field, and stopped before a single
grave. She caused it to be opened
and there found the body of her dead
husband. 1t appears from the state

Lieut.. Pieff fell, this dog was by his
side, and there remained, licking bis
wounds, until he was taken from the
field and buried. He then took his
station by the grave and nothing could
induce him to abandon it but for a suffi-
cient length Of time each day to satisfy
his hunger. until, by some means, he
was made aware of the presence of his
mistress. Thus he had watched for
twelve days by the grave of his slain
master,
