deep modification in the euemvs s coun.

Gazette, thus mournfully describe. what
he saw
While stood gazing upon this ,ceus
from the summit oftLe ridge. some rsb.
Ell skirmishers appeared in the skirt d
the woods opposite the gap / have M en-.
toned. and flung perhaps a dozen m !
ket balls into the field. Instantly m.

Cling, shouting and frightened life. Ev
erything and every body appeared to rusl
headlong for the narrow gap, and men.
horses, mules, ambulances. baggage
wagons, artillery carriages and caisons,
were rolled and tumbled together in a
confused. inextricable and, finally, mo.
tionless mass. completely blocked up the
mouth of the gap. Nearly all Of this
booty subsequently, fell into the hands Of
the enemy. Sickening and Disguised
by the spectacle, turned away to watch
the operations of General Thomas corps, 4
upon which alone depended the safety
Of the army.
The Yankee lossis set down as follows:
"Oar losses have been most severe
and can scarcely fall short Of | 100 killed
and 5000 wounded Col Burnett tells
me that our loss in artillery will not fall
short Of SO pieces Our deficiency in
transportation and baggage cannot now
be estimated"
i The correspondent naturally accounts
/ for the disaster by the fact (now well
known in the North that our men are
always made very drunk on going into
battle. But he omits 10 notice the cir
cumstance also perfectly understood)
that we always mix gunpowder with our
soldiers liquor--it is called the battle
cocktail. Hear him describe its effects
The Rebels fought like hell hounds, Gas

staggered on our men whilst they had

6
Hon. James Drane, on taking the
chair Of President Of the Mississippi Sen
ate, to which he was elected BY acclama-
ton, made short, and patriotic speech,
which the Mississippian Extra, reports
substantially as follows:
SENATOR'S In entering upon the dis
charge ofthe duties, which you, by your
kindness, have assigned me. beg to re-
turn you my thanks for the honor con-
ferred in selecting me to preside over
your deliberations and pledge you my
best efforts to deserve that honor, by
strict, prompt. faithful and impartial dis
charge Ct all the duties deyolved on me
as your presiding officer.
These duties are sometimes difficult,
yet ! trust. by your aid and that general
forbearance and indulgence always cx-
tended BY the Mississippi Senate to its
presiding officer, that ! shall be able to
discharge them acceptably 70 you, credi.
table to myself and usefulto the country.
The circumstances that have convened
us in this city instead Of Jackson, the
place known to the constitution and laws
Of our State for the meeting Of the Leg.
|islature, admonish us that grave duties
and high responsibilities rest upon us.
