Fridays Battle.
Correspondence of the New York World.

Correspondence Of the New York World.
The sun of Austeritz is not more memorable
than that which is just ainging its dying rays
over the field of this the third day of successful
battle. The victory won by Gen Meade is now
80 decisive that no one In this army pretends to
question the rout and Generalization of the reb-
el army under Gen. Lee. The battles of Wed
nesday and yesterday were sufficiently terrible,
but in that which has ragged to-day the lighting
done, not only by cur troops, but by those OF
Lees army. will rank in heroism in persever
ance, and in savage energy, with that OF Water
loo. The position Of Lee at the close of last
evening was such that he was forced to-day to
retuce all his energies into one grand, desperate
and centralized attempt to break through our
army HIS divisions were SO much cut up as to
render pitched battle from wing to wing one
ofawtul hazard. The dilemma was terrible
one, and that the rebel commander fully appre-
ciated all its risks IS eyinced by the desperation
of his onset to-day. Friday morning found our
army reinforced. The reserves Of the Sixth
Corps, Gen. Sedgwick and the Twelfth Gen.
Socum, had arrived and taken up strong posi-
tlons. At the last hour our troops were ranged
IN line along the Emmettsburg turnpike ana the
Taneytown road. The engagement began by
an assault OF our troops upon some rlue'plts on
the extreme right, which were lett IN the pos
session of the enemy last evening: Their fire was
returned by the rebels, and the fighting lmme-
diately became general. Until nearly noon the
battle ragged without intermisslon, but with no
loss to us, when we finally obtained possession
of the rlAe-pits-the rebel force which had pre-
viously held them retreating. The firing then
slackened but at | clock was renewed at dill
ferent points along the line with tiorceness pre-
monitory of the terrific engagement that ensued'
Several charges were made by the rebels as
feints, their troops falling back after the first
rush IN every part OF the field, except that held
by their forces under Gen. Ewel, who was seen
to concentrate the infantry and artillery togeth-
or, and who soon opened a murderous fire OF
cannon on our left center. Then the engage
ment began in earnest The firing became a
continuous roar battery after battery was dis

A SLAVE CAPTURING HIS MAsTER.-A Vicks-
burg correspondent of the Post, giving an ac-
count Of the late fight at NIlikens Bend ,men-
tions the following " Among the incidents
of the fight worthy Of note was the capture Of
rebel soldier by negro who was his slave
three months ago. The Texan was caught in
tight place by one Of Col. Leb's men who
cried out to him. Hold on dar and put down
your gun, or III shoot. The rebel surrendered
Internationally but, after identifying his
captor, said to one of our officers that he
protested against being held as prisoner by
his own slave. It's good enough for you,
said the officer; that's just the man to guard
you. And jim addressing the soldier) if he
don't behave himself shoot him down The
chivarous southerner was very indignant, and
his wrath ehervesced in series of oaths, which
fell upon the ears of the intelligent contra
band, without effect. The dusky warrior kept
close eye upon his prisoner, but refused to
hold any conversation with him or answer any
of his questions as to when he enlisted, or how
he dared to level a gun at his master"

THE CoNsCRIPT LAw.-The Conscripton
law is receiving clearer Interpretation then
at first The $500 can be paid or a substitute
procured, and if accepted-the acceptance
depending altogether upon physical ability
it exempts the person drafted from again
being called upon during the period for which
he IS drafted but if the $500 is paid instead 4,
then the person is liable to be again taken
upon any subsequent draft, and the Presi-
dent can order draft as frequently as he
may deem necessary.

From the Christian Messenger.
To nv Mother in Heaven

l often think of thee, Mother,
As when at thy knee side,
| listened to thy loving words,
That with me still abide.
l seem to hear again, Mother,
Thy sweet and gentle voice,
That soothed my childhood's sorrows,
And woke my childhood's joys.
And when ol der grew, Mother,
Ard from the right would stray,
Thy saddened leok, or mild rebuke,
My wayward steps would stay.
And'when in manhood's prime, Mother,
Life's burdens called to bear,
The memory of thy patient love,
Has lightened many a care.
I'm coming where you are, Mother,-
Coming there TO stay;
Our Fathers house, our heavenly home,
From which no more to stray.
The thought is very sweet, Mother.
That we shall meet again;
Meet where no wayward act Of mine,
Shall e'er thy bosom pain.
This blissful hope is mine, Mother,
Wien mortal scenes are DER
Thy gentle spirit T'll rejoin,,
On Lifes immortal shore.

UIIIE high price which Cream of Tartar commanded

Cream Of Tartar is hi-tariratc of Potash.
