IAN incident occurred during the fight
which proves the stuff Of which this command
is made. Tho Yankees having takcn shelter
bshind a stone fence and Stone churcb,
opened severe fire on our advancing column,
and saw the cavalry whip and dispense them,
although there was more than double their
number of infantry--a feat not often per-
| formed.
"'TWas thcro We lost two brave and noble
youths, and bad two others wounded four BIO :
ing the amount of cur casualties. The loss Of
the enemy was between fifty and sixty killed
and wounded, and about two hundred prison
ers. We captured SIT mules, 50 horses and
over 200 head CT beeyes and destroyed be-
tween rs and 100 wagons loaded With com.
missary and quurtermaster stores.
"All CT this was accomplished Wit, $50
men, $50 only being actively engaged, while
the enemy had brigade Of infantry, three
companies of cavalry with tho train, and O
| brigade of cavalry nc Chnrlostown i'll our rear,
and the main army in striking distance Of us.
"Thoy wero commanded by Dol. koniev,the
arch traitor Of Maryland--aaid 10 DO tight
ing man-whioh qualification no failed to dis
play this time.
"Nothing has equalled this raid during thia
war, considering the disparity Of numbers,
the fighting of our men, and the hsppy re-
suits.
1T would be inviliOus to discriminate
where all did their duty. Better fighting was
never seen by any ono Of cavalry than thai
which the battalion did The artillery wa:
handled with great CELEBRITY and precision, DO
ing considerable execution and contributed
greatly to our success"

Army CuARIoTEERs. Tho wagon trains
CHARTERED at the Ecole- Militaire havo just
been exercised on eeveral new mar muyrcs in
the Champ dc Mars. The object Of these cx-
ercises is to teach the drivers how to turn
short in the smallest possible space, ct the
word Of conmand, to avoid impedinIen:s. ard
to pass through narrow ard over difiault
roads. These marGuvres are performed with
baggage and artillery wagons, drawn by Jour
horses and driven by two mon. The Wagons,
formed into platoonl, take up poation as if in
line Of battle, march in column, and wheel 10
right and loft. When is il intended to irni-
tato tho passage of dcfie, number of wa
CONS are ranged in two parallel lnc0, with
just sufficient space for another wagon to pass
between them.
This narrow space is trayerseo forward and
backward, tho horses sometimes trottiDg, and
even going at gallop. Tho drivers have
made great progress in their profession since
these exercises wsre instituted. Tho mau
who mounts the leader is instructed not to
keep the traces too tight, so thEt the other
driver may havo full liberty in directing the
wagon. There is to be a general inspection
soon, and then wooden posts will be substitu.
ted for tho parallel lines Of wagons. These
posts or pins will not be fixed in the ground,
and tho drivers who knock down Tho lowest
will receive sumo prize. Perhaps categories

A psssRTrR CAPTURED pY A LADY.

A lady by tho name of Sharp, says the Au.
eusta "Oaronic!e and Sentinel" captured a
deserter in Millen a few days sinoe. The cir.
oumstances we're those: She was sitting in
her house, and noticed man standing in the
yard talking to her waiting maid. Finding
that be was after something to esi, she fur
nished him with food. From his actions and
the srea: anxiety he showed to get away, she
thought that all was not right. Accordingly,
sho took her husbands gun, aud oveihauling
him after ho had gone short distance, she
summoned him to surrender. Seeing from
her eye what he would get in case he resisted,
he at once did as ordered. lie was tarned
over to the proper authorities.
ANoTnlR MILITARY PRISON.
We understand, says tho Augusta "Cbroni-
ole and Sentinel" that another military pris-
on for Yankees is to be erected On the Central
Railroad, near Millen.
Notwithstanding the fsot that the prison at
Andersonville has been enlarged, it is still too
small to hold the captured Yankees. Tho
number at the present timeis over 81, 900, and
mofrare coming daily.
The prison at Andersonyille measures five
hundred and forty yards ons way, and tive
hundred and sixty the other. The prison near
Millen is to be four hundred and forty yards |
square.

CoSasTEScT.-Friend Hawley, in
the last issue of the Plot, cnlarges on the
settled school question, aud becomes quite
funny With his pen. Lem says:
The long agony is over; the annoying, vex-
auous school quarrel has been decided: DR..
Witter and his affidaYits have triulnphed: and
who wonders at it? The ''saw dust affidavit
was OF Itself sufficient to drive the Devil from
his kingdom; II 90 sclernnly swear in the
presence Of Almighty God that - and
--- are eoppsrhead&." How could the State
superintendent in view Of this affidavit, and
the vast amount Of brains expended in getting
1t up-the shattered and torn conscience of
the loyal ~ W. P. refuse to decide different :;
| he could not But Nessrs. Witter and Co.,
you have succeeded in ousting Mr.. Martin :;
| what next are You going to do? Do you in
| tend 10 give Us a teacher that will please a
majority of the District, or are you bent upon
having one that will bow and bend to the will
and dictation of the County Superintendent :?
We want a capable man to teach, one who
Ein show no partiality to the children, be
they large or small; be they rich or poor :;
one who is Ill every way competent, and will
not worship the Golden Calf by compassion !;
to such a one, every encouragement will be
given; but gentlemen, you must not make the
selection of a teacher a political matter we
have had enough Of that in your raid just
ended. Let Us now put politics one side, and
whatever is done, let it be done for the inter
ests OF the ac1t0}c district.
No doubt the District Board will do all in
! their power to obtain a competent teacher
one who will have the interests of the whole
district at heart. Hawley's slurs, like feath-
ers, fall lightly. A queer man, our friend
Lemuel. Oh, how he used to abuse Mr. N !
No epithet was too base to apply,-(and his
| tongue knows where to find them.) All at
once the wind changed, and the weather-cock
tbs time educational, whisked around and
! pointed his index finger to another point o.
The educational compass. You must not make
\ good joke. Who carried matters political
into school matters? You, Lemuel, and your
betters. You made it an issue. To kill oul
County upelintendent you lauded man you
hated ii your heart IS thoroughly as saint
hates purgstory. The Poscers that be are
mighty, Lem. Gold becomes dross, and dros:
gold, Lem. Politics wW neuer enter into the
selection of teacher, dear Lemuel
Oh, Lem, socially you are as gay as a spring
morning-our best holt, Lem but politically
and educationally, Lem, you are like the mar
who had the small pox-to be pitiea
