terday the enemy had opened heavy attack
by artillery, on our left and center. The tao
tics of the enemy were soon apparent-mass-
ing of their main strength on our left flank,
which covered the Frederick road, with the
determination to crush it. So intent was the
enemy on this that every other point of the
line was left alone. The fighting was most
desperate on both sides. We had against
this great onslaught of the enemy the I'd, Sd
and 9Th corps. The Sd and 5th corps, close
ly connected, fought heroically. The I'd ably
supported them, and at the same time held
its own position. One division of the LIST
corps was also engaged. The fighting was so
furious that neither side took many prisoners.
We captured about 600 in one or two charges.
The losses considering the duration of the
fight were more than usually heavy on both
sides. Many of our gallant Ulcers have fall
len. In the evening Gen. Meade called a
council Of corps commanders, at which it
was resolved to continue the fight as long as
any was left to fight.

THE BATTLES OF THE SHEEP.-There is a
vein of good'humor that appears even in their
quarrels. A flock OF them have come into the
yard together TO drink, and one of the lot in

slight upon his dignity. The injured wether
hits him stroke with his head: instantly the
two are In line of battle The attitude of the
offended animal is most imposing. He is not
angry; he is indignant morally. His whole
being is opposed to that form of evil He sets
his face vertically against it. He stfiens his
neck he buckles up his back upon it. He re-
pels il, he will bunt it. His adversary appears
nowise less the embodiment of justice He has
forgotten the original trespass. None of the
Jesuit fathers of whom Pascal tells us. could
more skilltnlly train his thoughts TO do the act
and avoid the sin. He is intent only upon the
violence that confronts him. But his enemy
Is upon him. The heads are together with a
heavy thump; and he is back for another run.
There Is a clear twinkle of roguery in his eve
as he opens it after the shock. He hopes the
blow has been for the sleepy fellows good, and
he wants no more of the like Half score OF

MISCELLANY.

An ACCOMMODATING JUDGE.-Judge H
=, of Missouri, was an accommodating man,
but he would drink more than was beneficial
for his head or the bench upon which he sat.
On one occasion, after his appointment, bust
ness called him TO Liberty, and while there,
meeting with many Of his old associates at
the bar, he got into a convivial mood, which
lasted several days, and on going out he look
ed rather worse for wear In crossing the riv-
er at Owens Landing, there was a boat dis
charging freight, and in great haste for fear
that another boat would pass that had just
hove In sight
The clerk sang out:
"Isay, old man, can't you lend the man a
hand in taking off that load of furniture? /
will pay you well for doing so, and double
Ally In the bargain"
"oh, yes" said the judge, always ready to
help in a time Of need"
Then turn in and quick said the clerk.
The first thing was a marble-top bureau.
In going off the plank the Judge slipped, and
the clerk roared out,
"There now, throw that into the river, will
you?n
Certainly" said the judge, and giving a
kick with the order, overheard it went.
"Halloa what's that for ?n said the clerk.
81 always obey orders when / work for a
man." said the judge.
sLeaye" said the clerk.
"Agreed," said the judge.
"Who is that man ?" said the clerk.
"That is Judge H, OF the Fifth Judi
cial District Of Missouri remarked bystand-
er.
"Let go that line!- cried the clerk, and the
boat put into the stream at its highest point of
speed.
