A GALLINT OPFTOFP

The capture in the battle Of the 10th inst OF most
OF the officers and men of the Sd Richmond Howitz.rs
has already been mentioned in these columns. From
officer Of high rank, who participated in the battle,
aud who was near the H,wzsrs at the time Of their
disaster We have heard encomiums upon the conspic-
uous valOr displayed by osptan B. H. Smith, Jr, who
commanded the esmpany. Our informant says he was
personally unacq lalnted with Captain Smith, but was
fOrcby impressed with the heroic valor with which be
stood at bis guns bold IN upright, amid tremen.-
dous shower Of bullets, and under the play Of full
battalion of Yankee artillery, giving his orders in
COOL intrepid tone, and firing upon the advancing foe
until he was actually seizid and forcibly carried Of.
Captain Smith had lost foot by . wound received
in battle in the Valley, twelve months ago. He has
brother now in this city, who hes Loaf In the
service, and in the battle Of the tenth, another brother
killed by his side. Truly, this family has SAoved
its devotion to the country and the cause.

h ins.. The most important question before The body
was the proposed union between the Assembly aud the
United Synod, representing the two branches of the
Presbyterian denomination, generally styled heretofore
as "old School, and New School," We learn from the
Central Presbyterian Of yesterday that cat the close of
the discussion the whole suffice. referred to con-
mttee of one minister and one elder from each sy}
represented. This committee subss quenty brought N
report proposing to dispense with the doetriaa basis
recommended by DR.. Dabneys committee, and to form
the union the simpls basis of our Standards each
body to declare It's acceptance Of these very much if
not literally in the same words used in tho ordination
voWs-aDd without sending the matter down to the
Presbyteries At our last sdvioes the Assembly was
about taking the vote this report which has, no
doubt been almost unanimously adopted In that case,
it is understood that this basis will be acceptable to
the United Synod, the union may be regarded as actu
ally copSummAted. The discussion was characterized
by an admirable fraternal and christian spirit"
