THE BATTLE OF RINGG0LD, GA
Five Hours Hard Fighting
The Enemy again Defeated
More Prisoners and Artillery
Taken.
MAJ. GEN'L HooKER's HEADQUARTERS.
RlNGsoLD, Ga, Nov. %, 1863.
THE TOWN OF RINGGoLD.

THE TOWN OF RINGGoLD.
Ringgold is small place of about two
thousand inhabitants, and the county seat
of Catoosa county, Georgia; is situated at
the base of the White Oak Mountain
ridge, and directly in front Of Ringgold
Gap.
As you pass up the main street you come
to the road straight ahead leading through
Ringgold Gap. This is not wide. On Ell
Their side of it rises the mountainous
heights of White Oak Ridge. This ridge
extends along for very considerable dis
lance, forming chain Of low mountains
In fact, the whole Of this region of country
is but a succession of ridges with narrow
valleys between. The common or generally
travelled roads converge to these gaps
These are so peculiarly protected by the
adjacent ridges that two or three hundred
men posted on the ridges, with section of
artillery to sweep the gap, can hold an ar
my in check until such time as preparation
is made either to take the position by direct
assault in front or by flank movement,
through other gaps in the same ridge, and
an advance in the valley beyond. Ringgold
Gap is strong position for defence. The
slopes of the ridges are steep wooded and
difficult of ascent.
THE BATTLE OF RINGGoLD
Surprising the enemy to be in small force
Osterhaus's division pressed forward in line
of battle with great gallantry. The enemy
opened scattering musketry fire from the
top of the ridge, and also brought into &C.
ton four pieces of artillery, that swept the
gap and threw their shells into the town
and our lines Notwithstanding this, Ostsr-
haus' men kept on their course, advancing
at quick time up the slope, on both sides Of
the gap. They had almost gained the sum-
nit when the enemy showed his strength
by delivering terrific fire from the noun
tain tep, at the same time succeeded in
throwing brigade each on the right and
left of our lines. Our men stood their ground
we'll but at last mad to slowly retire in con
sequence Of the eRemy's superior strength
and position. the enemy, finding our men
falling back, followed them up with great
persis tency. and attempted to drive them
across the railroad line by making charge
but QlQ not sucCeeu, rs OSternaus meu
bravely held their own and kept their line
unbroken.
Our CAPTURES
In artillery and prisoners have, indeed
been great. When we get in the deserters
stragglers and prisoners, proper, the number
certainly reach, if not exceed eight thou
sand. The woods are full of deserters and
stragglers, and they are seeking every OPP
portunity to come into our lines. In the
operations of the 26th and 9th, Hooker,
Howard, Sherman, and Palmer together
took over one thousand prisoners. From the
information which get at General Grants
headquarters, and from different general
officers, our captures in artillery will set
the number up to sixty four pieces. This
includes all captures up to the present
time.

the last two years, and we could not make
them pay the taxes over again. he wouid
vote for the passage Of the Bill. !.
Mr.. Hagan was opposed to the passage OF
the Bill; it was unconstitutional, and would
afford more protection to the rebels tnan
it would to the Union men; in some OF these
counties four. fifths of the inhabitants were
rebels, and by this bill they were released
from Ill taxation.
Mr.. Dunbar said he was still in favor OF
the bill we could not afford to pay. the
home guard companies, as the gentleman
(Mr. Hager), desired; this clause OF the
bill was unconstitutional in Raleigh coun-
ty there had been two companies OF home
guards in the service, they asked no pay
from the State; These home guard compa,
MES were made up under the direction OF
General Cox, and were by him furnished
with arms. :,
Mr.. linn said the home guards, if paid at
all. should be paid by the counties; let us
pass this bill, exempt the border counties
from taxation, and then the counties can
pay their own home guards.
Mr.. Hagar said the home guards OF hi1
county had rendered efficient service, and
should be paid for it; the bill was uncon-
stitutionaL and would deprive the home
guards of their pay.
Mr.. Dawson and Mr.. Ballard spoke in IA
vor of the bill.
A vote being taken, the bill was passed

OCEAN HIGHwAYs-Persons vino do not
pay special att ntion to nautical matters
are likely enough to suppose, that consid
ering the number vessels a. sea. the surface OF
the great ocean must be dotted over, almost
every part, with the sails of the countless
fleet. This, however. is not the case; the
ocean, like land, has its frequented highways
and its wide re coins of loneliness. If an OBJ
server, furnished with a forty llerchen tel
escope power of vision. could be elvated to
a height great enough to give lin view
of the whole Atlantic, he would be struck
by beholdsng hundreds of vessels following
enc another upon certain lines along a very
irregular course, while over very large
portion of the surface not a sail would be
visible, In the extensive spaces on both sides
of these Ocean Paths, few vessels will be
seen

THE CUMBERLAND
At anchor In Hampton Roads we lay,
On board the Cumberland sloop-of-war
And Mt times from the fortress across the bay
The alarum of drums went past,
Or bugle blast
From the camp on shore.
Then far away to the South uprose
A little feather of snow white smoke,
And we knew that the ron-ship of our foes
Was steadily steering its course
To try the force
Of our ribs of oak
Down upon heavily runs,
Silent and sullen, the floating fort;
Then COMES 4 puff OF smoke from her guns,
And leaps the terrible death,
With fiery breath,
From each open port.
We are not Idle, but send her straight
Defiance back iii a full broadsde,
As hail rebounds from roof of slate
Rebounds our heavier hail
From each iron scale
OF the monsters hide.
' Strike your flag - the rebel cries,
In his arrogant old plant alton strain,
Never - our gallant Morris replies;
1t is better to siak than to yield ~
And the whole air Iealed
With the cheers Of our men.
Then like kraken huge and black,
She crushed our RIBS in her iron grasp!
Down went the Cumberland all a wrack,
With a sudden sbudder of death,
And the canpon's breath
For her dying gasp.
Next morn as the sun rose over the bay,
Still foated our flag at the mainmast head,
Lord. how beautiful was thy day !
Every watt of the air
Was whisper of prayer,
Or dirge for the dead.
Ho brave hearts that went down in the seas,
Ye at peace in the troubled stream,
Ho brave land with hearts like these,
Thy flag that was rent in twain,
Shall be one again,
And without seam 4'.

PARENTAL FAvoRIrIsx.-The habit. into
which many parents fall, of showing pref
erence to one of their children, to the neg
lcct of the others, is as common as it is perni-
cious. In very many family circles, init
mate acquai tance will reveal the fact that
there is a :" favorite" son or daughter in the
family, generally the former, however,
whose many faults are overlooked, foolish
whims gratifcd, and who does almost Just as
he. or she, pleases at home, very often to the
sacrificing of the happiness, comfort and
rights of others equally, and often times
much more deserving members of the family,
thereby breeding envy always, hatred some.
times, in their breasts, at what they feel is
manifest injustice.
Experience in this matter will almost in
varably show that such improper parental
preserences are productive of unmitigated
harm-to the parents, to the object Of their
improper indulgence, and to other members
of the family. We have watched the course
through life Of large number of what were
d" favorite" sons in their youth, and they
almost always turned out to be the most
worthless members of the household. Fam
