THE ARTILLERY.

The Cincinnati Times correspondent
says:
During the engagement Standards and
Wetmore's Ohio batteries were throwing
shell over the heads of our own men, in
the attempt to reach the ranks of the en-
emy. Captain Kinney succeeded in taking
one section of his battery through the
woods to within sixty yards of the enemy,
and succeeded in delivering seven rounds
upon them; every shot opening large gaps
in their lines. Tho enemy then made a
charge upon these guns, but they were in
stantly repulsed by portion of the Ninth
Ohio.

THE FIELD AFTER THE BATTLE.

I rode over the battlefield in the ere-
ming. Our men were burying the dead,
but many still lay ghastly where they fell.
The wounded had been all taken up
| The same kind treatment was extended to
the enemy's wounded which was given to
our own. The universal remark which
they made to me as l passed through the
hospital, was, "We never expected to be
treated SO. We have been misled. We
expected to be served like dogs should we
fall into your hands. You are kinder TO
us than we would have been to you."

TUESDAY EVEasN6, Dec. 2. 1864
WEEKLY REy1Ew-Navigation is now closed,
and the gram business. 80 far as shipping is con-
cetped, over for the seasou. There ia still, how
ever, good demand for grain to hold till epring,
and the leading cereals have advanced materially
in price.
The receipts OF Hogs during the week have been
liberal, and the market has ruled dull. To-day,
however, the demand has improved, and prices
have adyanced.
The Provision market has ruled dull till to-day,
when, owing to an advance in gold, an improved
demand has taken place, and the market closes
firm.
The receipts of Hogs since the 1st Of October
amount to $50 0e12, Of which f50 533 were shipped
leaving for packers and butchers 209 4I9 against
81 401 during the come period In 1851 and eco in
1850.
The number Of Beef Cattle cut up to date ranges
between 25.000 and 80 0G0 head,
The Grocery trade has ruled quiet during the
past week. The operators in sugars stand in
dread Of Gen. Buffers opening up the eugar-groW-
| ing regions In Louisiana.
The Kerosene excitement has also subsided, and
| it is difficult to sell nnlees at decline.
The agent Of the Onondaga Salt Company has
happily pricked the "Salt Bubble "by reducing
| the price Of Fine, Coarse and Ground Solar to
81 61per brl--a decline Of $100 per b:l since the
date Of our last weekly review. The holders OF
Foreign Salt arc offering to sell at 81 % per sack
without buyers. The stock here Is very large.
