A Rattle Pintnra.

We saw yesterday, in the Stat, Library, cartoon,
BY Mr. Newman, resident artist which proves that the
arts are not lgushiug in the midst CT the alarms
Of war. It represents charge upon Yankee battery,
during the rOut which followed the first battle Of Ma

folk, with 200 cavalry, aud routed them,
utlicting considerable loss. Gen. Pryor
remained Ia line Of battle until Sunday
morning, but the enemy would not leave
his stronghold
Learning that $500 Yankees were Mt
Carylle, cen. Pryor pushed across to
interrupt them. They fled on our ap-
proach through Gales county.
The Enquirer still contends that the
battles at Murfreesboro were victorious
for the South. 1t says this victory is By
far the most complete yet won by their
arms in the Southwest. We do not re.
gard the falling back by Bragg as de-
tracing in the least from the glory Of
our arms or the Importance OF our yicto-
ry. The most baostiul dispatches Of
Rosecrans can never re-capture the pris-
ouers, arms, and artillery carried of by
Bragg, nor rebuild the wagons burned by
Morgan and Wheeler.
