river, the troops under my command following 0en'

The entire force at my disposition that day was
rather below two thousand men. The loss was in

eight wounded, Cl0) ten missing In Aliens G)
six killed, (43) forty-three wounded (S) missing.
In Shaws there (3) three killed, () six wound
ed, and in Devane's none. Icannot give the casual
tRs of Fuller'S section precisely.
Iiearn that the loss in the two first named regl-
ments occurred mainly in the charge above referred
to. But for this we should have had the satistac-
ton of knowing that We had with vastly inferior
force, driven the enemy from strong position, and
obliged his whole army to retreat almost without
loss on part.
In conclusion, take pleasure in saying that the
officers and men in all the regiments behaved in a
manner creditable to veteran troops. Captain Ed

GENERAL ORDERS,
Mo-.
The Brigadier General commanding cannot refrain
from the expression Of his deep regret at the reeep
ton of General Order, No. 49, Headquarters of the
Army, transferring the Sixth FiftyfOurth and Fifty
seventh North Carolina Regiments from this COM
mand.
The disruption of all those pleasant and cordial
social relations which exist between himself and
them, is not the only cause of sorrow their gallan
try the battle field has taught him to value them
as soldiers, no less than as comrades.
To the Sixth he has only to say, that inspired by
the memories Of the First Manassas, Elthams Land
ing Seven Pines, Gains Farm, Malvern Hill, Free
mans Ford Second Manassas, Boonsboro, Sharps-
burg and Fredericksburg it never in the future
prove unworthy of its wcll.earned and glorious re-
putation
For the Fifty.fourth and Fifty seventh he can ask
higher destiny than that their future career may
be worthy of their brilliant debut on the field OF
Fredericksburg. They have already won for them
selves place among the veteran troops of the army
In the hope that the labors of all, in the new
position to which they are removed, will contribute
much to the success of our arms and the triumph
Of our sacred cause he bids them reluctant fare
we'll.

The enrolling officers all over the State SAYS the
Raleigh Progress Of the 4th, are picking up con-
scripts, and we arc glad to see the people Weld
obedience to the law, for our ranks need men, and
men we must have; but we do protest against the
Ubiquitous provision of the act which exempts a
man simply because he has twenty or more slaves
1t is for the right to own and hold slaves that we are
fighting, and this being so the slave owner has not
only the love of country and desire to be free to
actuate him TO do his duty, but his property is at
stake, for unless the South be successful slaves be-
come valueless. Some people-those who are skulk-
ing from the army behind their niggers-may con-
slider this kind of talk dangerous, but if we are
gerous to tell the TRUTH we had better know it at
once. 1t is all right for the poor with ten or
fifteen children, to go, but the rich is enabled
by q law of the Confederate Congress to skulk
his duty to his country because he owns twenty
slaves
President Davis has expressed his disapprobation
of the law and the patriotic masses every where cry
out against it. and we demand that the cotton lords
who to- lord it in the present Congress, repeal
it. The fact that beople have submitted to this
law proves them to be emphatcally law abiding
people, for every principle of justice and equty-of
equality and right-the superiority of the white man
over the slave-cres out against it.
We learn that many persons who own twenty
slaves are presenting themselves and demanding
exemption anDhence we appeal to the Confederate
Congress to repeal the unjust and disgraceful
clause now, that these men may be put in The army.
If it be not done and the war be protracted the
poor man, in and out Of the army, may stop to ask
what all is for p WadeSbOro' Argus.
