A STIRRING SCENE,

In the heavy assault made by the enemy on
Laws brigade of Alabamians on the memorable
Sd of June, it was suddenly discovered that the
men were almost out of ammunition, so continuous
and rapid had been their fire. To have started
from the trenches for ammunition at that time,
amid the shower Of shot and shell that was raining
upon the field in our rear, would have been almost
certain death; aud besides, having just taken po-
sition at that point of the line, we unfortunately
had no ordnance near. Such a scene was never
witnessed; for soldier without ammunition in the
hour of battle is like ship without rudder, or a
sinner leaving the world without hope of Christ
Old soldiers gazed upon each other with looks of
earnest solictude, of blank astonishment and SOL
emn inquiry; their lips quivered-they could not
speak-and their cheeks were blanched. But it
was not with fear. Having begged from their
neighbors and fired the last cartridge, they coolly
fixed their bayonets unanimously resolved, diets
give them bayonets, and with the calmness of de-
spalr prepared to die to man in their tracks ra-
ther than yield their position. Tell me, We shades
of Marathon and Thermopyle! can such men as
these be conquered? The spirits of the patriot
dead on every field returns the answer, never
Heaven always succors such courage and devo-
ton; and SO it was with these brave men. At the
critical moment when all seemed lost the gallant
Capt Leigh r. Terrill, Brigade Adjutant-G G enera
was seen coming at euble-quick through the storm
of balls in our rear, with hundred pound box of
cartridges on his head. Divining, with his accus-
toned foresight, the emergency that would arise
with characteristic prudence and promptness, he
hurried off during the first assault of the enemy,
and obtained box Of ammunition from Wofford's
brigade, which was quarter Of mile in rear,
supporting US, and returned with it, at the mmi-
nent peril of his life, just in time to prevent dsas
trous consequences. The troops seized the cart
ridges like famished men npon bread; loud, wild,
defiant shouts, coupled with the claug of a thou
sand rifles, along the line; in trice the solid
columns of the foemen were shattered into fying
Or falling fragments, and victory was ours!
Too much praise cannot be given to the brave
men of Laws brigade for their heroic conduct on
this occasion. They killed and wounded fully two
thousand of the enemy, with the astonshingly
small loss on their side of two men killed and six
slightly wounded.-Aiontgomery Mail.

were Mns9ored ct City Point, were blown to atoms

shattered to fragments. Adams Express Office,

Confederates have captured all the cavalry out
from Helena, Arkansas by General Buford, and
large number of negroes and their white officers;
that they killed all the officers in command of the
blacks and numbers of the negroes.
The negro soldiers at Helena had mutinied and
commenced sacking the town, and breathing dire
vengeance against the few white soldiers stationed
in the place. At last accounts the whites were or
ganizing for defence. The rioters had destroyed
most of the town, including the elegant residence
of Senator Sebastian which pillaged and burnt,

KISSING BAcHELoR-A correspondent re-
lates the following incident
| We have friend, a bachelor friend, very fond
of the society Of ladies, but extremely modest and
difident withall A few evenings since he went
to make call upon an acquaintance who had Ee-
Gently taken to himself a wife, young and beauti-
| ful, and, as matter of course, overfowing with
affection for her husband.
Now this lovely wife of week, like all other
young wives, could scarcely survive tho brief abb
of her husband for the discharge of his bust
ness; and always, upon his return, met him upon
the threshold and smothered him with kisses.
1t go happened, when our friend called that the
husband was absent, but was momentarily expec-
ted by the fond and anxious wife. She heard his
football upon the step, and supposing it to be her
husband, rushed forth to meet him; and he had
scarcely laid his hand upon the bellpull, before
the door few open, and his neck was encircled by
pair of white srms and burning kisses fell thick
aud fast upon his lips and cheeks.
Here was trying situation for difident men,
and our friend came fainting on the spot;
but, fortunately, the lady discovered her mistake
in season to preveot such a melancholy event, and
he escaped from the house more dead than alive.
The last we saw of him he was leaning against
tree tanning himself with his coat tail in order to
recover strength to regain his lodgings.
