NEARLY ONE THOUSAND PRISONERS CAP
TURED.
DESPERATE FIGHTING OF THE NEGRO
TROOPS.

We learn from an ef1cer who arrived from
the front yesterday evening that the fighting
OF Tuesday commenced early in the morning
at various points along tho line, raging at times
with the greatest fury. but that about noon q
IulI occurred, with occasional spurts Of fight
ing.
Gen. Grant had intended to make An assault
on the enemy at O'Clock, but before that hour
arrived the rebel Gen. Hill made desperate
effort to break the left OF our line, for the pur-
pose. it vas supposed, Of regaining Fredericks-
burg.
In this attempt Hill failed, and was hand
somely repulsed by Burnside with terrible
slaughter. 1t is reported that in this attack OF
the rebels Gen. Burnside captured nearly one
thousand prisoners.
Burnside's colored troops, who were pre-
viously held In reserve, were brought into this
action, aad fought with desperation. The
officers experienced considerable difficulty in
restraining them, as they app. ared desirous
not TO take any prisoners, being exasperated
BY the remembrance OF Fort Pillow and the
atrocities committed there by the rebels on
their race. The fighting continued until q
late hour in the afternoon, and as the din of
battle seemed to grow more distant, it was
thought that our forces were slowly pushing
the rebels back.
When our informant left the field, which
was about dark, the main fighting had ceased,
although slight cannonading was heard after
darkness had set In.

THE REPORTED DESTRUCTION OF THE
REBEL RAM.

It is thought in we'll informed circles here
that the rebel ram Albemarle If struck by the
Sassacus was not injured materially, as the
Sessacus has NO iron PROV as stated by the
kilograms.
Under these circumstances the Sassacus
showed her pluck and good will in pitching
into her formidable adversary with unprotect-
ed bows.

WORSE TIA. SEPoY TREArAESr.-After the
battle of Chckamauga, General Rosecrans asked
permission Of Bragg to bury our dead, which
request refused. The heartess wretch
should be doomed to perpetual torture no
punishment which man is capable of inhicting
can provo sufficiently severe to bo visited upon
him. Read the flowing extract from letter to
the Cincinnati Commsrcidl:
~ few weeks ago the Chattanooga Marietta
RcJc' referring to the field of Chickamauga, ad-
mitted that some of the heads of "-r soldiers lay
grinning on the stumps, severed fl ION their
bodies, and to-day. officers, whose word will be
taken any where in this DIT. artment. bring the
news that, on visiting the field last Saturday, a
number of heads were displayed on stumps and
poles. while mutilated bodies lay on the ground,
partially devoured by birds Of prey, hogs, and
dogs large proportion of our dead left on
the field were found unburied, and their bones
bleaching in the sun and rain. General Cross
brigade, of the Fourth Army Corps. were yes
terday engaged in giving interment to the slain.
The sight $ described as sickening in the ex-
tremc. Trunks of the slain, minus arms and
legs, naked bodies half decayed, bones, the flesh
from which had been devoured by hogs, arms in
one place, legs in another partially devourcd,
lay about the ground, while the vutures and
of dead men, and the smell intense that
men of the strongest nerves closed their eyes on
the scene in disgust.

THE time has now come for action. Argu-

Democracy was a cheat ut the bottom an Arts-

was founded upon tho stephens Declaration OF

Slavery is dead, and can never be revived-the

SHREwD FRENcHMAN.-A Yankee and French
man owned pig in co-partnership, and when
killing time came they wished to divide the

so that he could get both hind quarters. and
pursuaded the Frenchman that tne way to divide
was to cut it across the back.
The French nan agreed 10 it, on condition that
the Yankee would turn his back and take his
choice of pieces after it was cut into. The Yam
kce turned his back accordingly.

VITALITY SEEDs-The old story of the
growth of Egyptian wheat from seed foul in the
shroud of mummy several thousand years old
has been o. en- d. .bted but an English paper has
the following paragraph of recent occurrence
which goes to confirm a belief in the e1traordi-
nary vitality of seeds. 1t says:
james Blinks, in the North British Agrieul
turist, said that he had recently cleared some old
Roman encampments his farm Ainwck
Il farm which he had lived upon for sixty-four
years, and forthwith, among the barley there
sown, arose some seyenty-four varieties of oats
never seen in tn It section before. AS no oats
had been sown, he supposed the place to have
been on old cavalry camp, and that the oats
which were ripened under other skies, had lain
covered with debris for fifteen hundred years
and now being exposed the action OF sun and
air, they terminated as readily as though but
recently sown."
Weekly Trinity journal., 1864-01-30

MoDEsrY AND PRuDERY-Women that are the
least bashful, are not unfrequen the most
modest and we are never more deceived than
when we would infer any laxity of principle
from the freedom of demeanor which often arises
from a total ignorance of vice. Prudery, on the
contrary, is often assumed rather to keep off the
suspicion of criminality than crminality itself
and is resorted to to defend the fair wearer, moi
from the whispers of the other sex, but of bel
own 1t is cumbersome panoply, and, like
heavy armor, is seldom worn, except by those
who attire themselves for the combat, or who
have received wound.

THE SAD FATE OF THE DIGGER.-The Napa
Register winds up article morslizing on the
sad fate Of our Digger Indions, with the follow
ing just hit Mt those who patronze foreign mis-
sions looking after the heather in distant lands
I'd overlooking him at their very doors
"Poor Digge- He has got q soul, as he mis-
trusts-for the Padres told him go in good old
Mission ii rs when he moulded adobes, eat
abundant carne and imbibed the catechism. Per
haps one of the questions on which his curiosity
is most excited, and which gives him most
trouble, is, why the white people don't preach
to him as they do to other savages Instead nf
doing so, and doubtless much to his disgust, the
disciples of Aminidab Sleek and Elder Stggins
bestow on him plenty of kicks, and some old
clothes, but neither red flannel shirts, moral
t. acts, nor comfortable sermons"
