Feder'l force, but McNairs Brigade churgcd rapid
ly loading aDd firing they went that the Yankees
were SURPRISED and routed The assault ia said to have
| been erocious, and the victory complete.
The Federal artillersts fought ic1itey better ttan
their Infantry supports, actually throwing s. ellis and
shot with their hands, into the faces Of meo when
they could longer load their pieces. The two bat
teres Captured about one huuGred Yards apart
and when the euGs were captured Ioen were com.
PEELED to move oil with the utmost rapidly
Colonel Coleman was The first to place his hand upon
Federal field piece, and the banner of the 39h North
Carolina was tie first unfured above them-cheer after
cheer announced the triumph of our gallant men and
then tire buried withdrawo, Of the guns from
their Places in the Ftdelal lines.
Lieu tenant Colonel Reynolds and Adjt j. D. Har-
din we're just behind Col. Coleman, when he reached
the Federal guns Hardin was shot through the reck
during the afternoon. When the brigade had fallen
back to our lines and obtained supplies and ammun-
ton it again ordered forward height on the
left to support Robinsors battery Oh the Lockout Val
ley Road. With Johnson's brigade and Hindman's
Division on the right and ManigaAlt's on the left,
COL Coleman advanced to the closing fight of the
day.
By successive charges the enemy were driven slowly
but steadily from the chain of hills which formed his
position, and the battle closed Two hours of daylight
and this portion OF Rosencrouz's army would have been
annihilaed.
Capt Culpepper, of the artillery belonging to this
BRIGADE displayed great ski and heroism. The loss of
the brigade in killed and wourded about forty per
cent. The Ssh North Carolina entered the fight with
238 and lost LOO Of the whole brigade there
are left about eight hundred men. Col Coleman coat
was pierced oy bali, but he is unharmed.
The gallant Capt. Moore was killed. and Col. Huff
stedler, of The 25th Arkansas, pierced with FIVE
balls. He still survives, and may recover.
When the history of the battle Of Chckamauga is
written II will be found that body of troops on that
bloody field fought more gallantly more honor
than McNairs Brigade. And when the war has closed
the victory achieved on the "Stream of D ath" will be
the most complete Of any that has been won
rom the beginning of the revolution.

A band of heroes constitute McNar's Brigade. 1t
is composed OF the ls 3D. and 4th Arkansas disuount
ed cavalry aud the 2lst and 3lst Arkansas Infantry
the 4.h Arkansas battalion, and the seth North Caro-
lima. COL Coleman. Throughout the command the
North Carolinians ore better known as tar heels"
perhaps from their enancty OF courage ad purpose
the sequel shows.
On saturday, the frst day of the battle of Chcka-
mauga st noon this brigade ordered to support
Gen Greggs command, then sorey pressed on the left
of Hoods division. Gregg was holding bis position
with great difficulty against tremendous Odds When
or lered to advance, McNair's brigade rushed over
Gregg's column, the 39h North Carolina and the 2o'h
Arkansas being led by Col. Coleman. The Yankees
gave way but in good order and driven not less
than three-fourths of lnile Gen. Gregg pronounced
this charge of the most brilliant achievements OF
the day A Yankee reg ment which encountered the
seth North Carolina and 25:h Arkansas was almost
annihilated These two skeleton regiments halted
to await support but not receiving it they advanced
through the woods and into the open cornheds where
their own weakness and the strength of the Federal
lines became apparent. Coeman's command, having
exhausted their ammunition withdrew to GreggIs line
of Battle and encamped for the night.
In the great battle of Sunday, McNair's brigade
were the LETT next to Hoods Division At hafpast
nine they lying behind imperfect breastWork of
fallen trees.
"A strong column OF the enemy advapced upon them
They were received with destructive fire, and falling
back were charged by McNar's Brigade and driven
10 confusion Over two lines of bteastworks into the
open fields On an eminence two Yankee batteries
commanded the whole of the open space. Just before
his men entered this broad field Gen. McNair wss
wourded The gallant Col, Harper of the LIST Arkan-
sas was killed, and the command of the Brigade de-
volved upon COL Coleman. The Brigade now diverg
ed to the right and under the lea dershp of the gallant
North Oar0linisn, captured both the batteries. Eight
of the pieces at taFen to the rear and two
others were afterwards removed Gen. Bragg gave
Col. Coleman order for three OF these guns to at

Or the fl Wednesday in next month the people OF THU
State, in their respective Districts will be c4ed upon to
vote for to represent them III th popular
branch OF the noXs Congress of the Confederate saes
The soldiers In camp will vote the Thursday previous
| being the 29th Of October.
Il referring to the matter have intention make
party appeals drag psrtzAn considerations into the
arena at ALL There now, least there ought to be,
but one partythat OF the county. We have opposi
ton to any men, except in far their
may seem nimca to the public interest. We have par
tizanship for aEy simply his personal account.
The public service the consideration md
that be best promoted by putting the right
right Ple0os London Tunes said, by put
ting round into square holes, and square men into
round holes.
Let suppose that in any district there cny
Candidates or that there number OF candidates
to Gozsn, in either any would appear that
the principle of selection ought to be the ssme founded
upon the possession of the and quail
caons First honesty aud devotion to the cause next
frmnesS and ability.
Whatever may dc hereafter it 10 certain that
aod serd gentlemen Congress or to place
them in any other public positions simply rewards
the past marks of personal friendship the present
In the approaching elections the citizens, whether in the
army ont OF it, will do tt simply confer high
honor upon these whom they elect to them
The people will repose solemn trust and the representa-
tiVes will assume q deep responsibility.
All this simply that ablest and best
men IN Congress, and that we should allow minor
sderations interfere with sending them there The
question is Who and will best the country Con-
gress Who will best reflect principles, snd
cesBully embOdy them in legislation?
We would ask man no questions as to party sntece

and free from the faint of that factousnsHs and doyay
which have already borne bitter fruits in mob Violence

But while would make te.ts founded upon differ.

hardly be expected that ould silently submit to,
tacity sanction such tests when made by others. We
could thus submit sanction the tests made those
