GEN. BRECKENRIDGE.

An Incident of one of late Fights an Vfryinia.
On Friday, une Sd, it was ascertaned by, Gen
Breckenridge that some bodies of the enemy occu-
MED wood in front of his command, which en-
abled them, without exposure OF themselves, to
attack his skirmishers whenever sent out, and
from which they might with IMMUNITY cut OH his
pickets at any hour He determined to dislodge
them by a night attack. The operation was i'm
portant, but obviously full of danger, and, when
about to be commenced, it proposed that it
should be headed by some other officer whose life
might be less valuable but the generous and chiv
alrous Breckenridge replied: "No; those brave
men have, for three days and nights, stood in the
front of battle, work ed in the trenches, and en-
countered every danger, and must share an with
them They informed of'the enterprise;
have told them that l would head them, aud L will
do it," The movement was commenced about
o'clock It had not proceeded far when the enc
my opened upon our front with both musketry and
artillery but the heroic leader still advanced until
his horse was struck full 10 the breast by cannon
ball, and fell to the ground upon his rider: Those
of his staff who attended Manufacturing the Hon
X. Nj. Bruce, NJ. G.. Colonel J L Pickett, OF Ken
lucky, volunteer aid, and Mr. Smay OF England
we're instantly around the general, but they had
only the dim light Of the night and what the con-
fused wreck was could not be at once discovered,
and the worst was feared. 1t was presently, how
ever, ascertained that only the right leg OF the
rider had been caught uuder the fallen horse, and
Col Pickett's horse was Immediately furnished;
bat the general being barely able to sustain him
self at the time in his saddle, he escorted 10
the rear. How his brave men went onward and
achieved the object of the bold and well-planned
enterprise history will record.
But there was incident which we do not
wish to leave wholly forgotten 1t is of class of
things which may be called small and deserving
but moments notice and then forgotten, but
some Of which often sparkle out, even in the ca
tastrophc of the great drama of national events,
with an Intensity which touches the heart and ex-
cites the finest feelings of the human soul. When
the general had been reached and was being ex-
treated by his devoted aids from the wreck of his
mangled steed, being asked, allow are you
wounded? Where? Howl" he answered, "No, no,
not seriously, all will be right with me, but"
turning to the still quverng body of his PROSTATE
steed, 'ny horse" he continued, ''my noble horse
poor old sorrel, he had carried CALAMITY
through so many battles and through such dangers,
that [ had ,fancied he bore charmed life,
and would survive the war; but he is gone ~ and
the invincible eyes, which had never quailed be-
fore mortal foe, were filled with tears. All this
the event of moment. Men falling,
in danger, all around, and to them the thought of
the chieftais was at the same moment directed,
with what emotions we shall not attempt to de-
scrbe.-Richnaona Enquirer.

A BEooDY FIGHT.

A correspondent of the Atlanta "AppeaP writ
ing from the recept battlefield in Western Geor-
eia, gives the following account Of the terrible
slaugbter~of the Yankees:
SUNDAY, May 81 have just returned from
spectacle the most bloody m. re eyes ever beheld
Along line Of about one hundred yards, directly
in front of our right extreme, and over broken
woodland, lie the dead bodies of seven hundred
Yankees, heaped in confused piles of two, three
and half a dozen. They fell on Friday afternoon
The fight which led to this splendid result be-
burys brigade Of Texans were at rest in line OF
battle, unprotected by stockade or rifle pits, and
hardly expected an advance, when their pickets
deserted body of the enemy moving up the hill
through the rough timber. They approached in
an easy nonchalant manner, bearing white flag
AS soon as this was perceived, orders were given
to reserve FIRE, and they actually came within thir
ty PAGES Of our line 1t was heavy column sup,
ported by two lines Of reserve, and the Texans
despite the peaceful symbol and truculent signs
thrown out-were not slow to detect the snare.
/ They were in thirty PAGES before u.s. and one OF
their officers cried out s'You're surrounded; sur
render" There was a single, instantaneous reply
Along our whole line leaped the fire from twelve
hundred trusty Texan rifles, while Keys opened
an enflading FIRE with Howitzer on their left A
sangunary conflict ensued, reaching more or less
across Cleburnes front, but falling principally up
on Granbury. 1t lasted until s o'clock. At that
hour the enemy fled precipitately.
They lost twenty-five hundred wounded, and
left us two hundred prisoners and seven hundred
dead bodies to put in the ground.
The sight is horrible. For an hundred yards
you can scarcely tread without stepping over the
mangled forms. Most of them are shot through
the head. One fellow was examined and found to
have received forty-seven balls Another receiv.
ed seventeen. Another twelve The Darksman.
ship was wonderful Cody these Texans went to
work, repulsing entire corps in three hours. Ii
was the corps Of Major General Howard.
The figures above are not exaggerated; If any.
thing they are understated. Our loss three OF
four hundred.
This magnificent fight has electrified the whole
army. Throughout yesterday the bloody field was
visited by hundreds, VINO all declare it uneSampl-
ed. The reason for the comparatively small loss
on side may be attributed solely to the perfect
aim of the Texans. Gen. Cleburne, commanding,
was on the field, and displayed his usual resolu-
ton, grace, and skill.

Northern States His virtues have received a
GROWING lustre since the opening OF the present
campaign "He took care of his men,, they say,
and the contrast with Grant elevates him accord
ingly: ~, 80,
A correspondent, writing from "the left" sends
us letter from which we make the following 'ex-
tracts:
"Had the Federal authorities consulted Gen.
Lee they could not have shown greater Difference
to bis wishes than they have by the assignment OF
Grant to the command of their forces. Destiny
has pointed him out as the man for Lee. He Is
the only one of all the Yankee Generals who has
afforded the satisfaction Of fighting behind our
entertainments, and it seems he is not likely to
soon deprive of that pleasure, for he perseTeres
10 buttiug against our works. each time leaving in
their front many CHASTITY evidences OF the deter
mined valor Of our troops Grant has been worse
whipped and more completely out-generaed than
any Federal commander Of the war; Scouts from
within the enemys lines report that he is contin-
uay drunk and his only order is, $50 ahead,
boys"
"Whom the gods Destroy they first make mad
1 never knew our army so determined or conf
dent of success, and though the onerous duties of
the past month have been apparently sufficient to
bend the most vigorous constitution, theirs has
been sustained and strengthened by past successes
and the not deusive hor of future victories. We
are seepess and vigilant, as the repeated defeats
| of Grants night attacks attest.
AS an evidence of the superior fighting qualities
of our men, it is only necessary to mention that
Gordon, with single line of skirmishers, repeat
edly whipped full Yankee line of battle. Too
much praise cannot be bestowed upon this truly
gallant officer for the mastery manner in which
he handled his troops. His spurs have been nobly
| won and worn.

The CHARLOTTE esterday, we
published brief communication complaining that
large amount of corn and bacon were lying ex-
posed to the weather at the Charlotte Junction.
We have since been informed that there is proba-
bly, at this time 900 bushels of corn and 500
boxes of bacon accumulated at Charlotte, the nor
thern terminus of the G. & S. G. Railroad. Every
depot there, including the passenger sheds and
platforms, are filled with friegats, likewise much
exposed. Under these circumstances, the authori-
ties at Richmond, several days ago, ordered that
no more Government freights should be taken to
Charlotte for the present. These facts show that
the road in question has performed its duty, and
that complaint must be directed elsewhere.-Co.

BRAVE WoMEN.-It is stated that when the
Yankees made dash upon the railroad near Re-
SAGA the other day, they cut the wire of the tele-
graph. No sooner had they gotten out of sight
than Mrs Buchanan, of Whitfield county, Ca, aud
her sister, Miss Carrie Sims, went to work to re-
pair the damage. They found it rather difficult
JOB, of course, but timely aid afforded them by
a Confederate officer who happened to be passing,
and the work was speedily accomplished.
