The Fight on Sunday.

Before daylight Sunday morning the
rebels made q furious assault on the posi-
ton of this line, driving portion of the
Sd brigade from their breastworks, and
capturing about 100. Their success how
ever did not last long-the Goth Pennsyl-
vanla, by gallant charge, driving them
back beyond their first battle line.
A sharp fire was kept up all day by both
sides Owing to hot fire by our sharp
shooters The enemy was unable to work bis
guns, consequently very few casualties
occurred to our side from shells. Our
batteries rained incessant fire into their
intrenchments.
There was little fighting in front of the
9Th corps until night, when considerable
skirmishing occurred. Unbroken quiet
also reigned in front of the 9th corps.
Thus matters stood ct 10 O'Clock, when
the I'd corps were started into sharper
attention by few shots on their front,
soon swelling into voHeys. The batteries

A young man barely twenty-one years
of age, who came to Ttusville, Pa, from
Canada, few weeks since, to operate in
oil territory, died on Sunday, the 26th ult.,
under the following singular circumstances
4 He was passing the evening with his Gus
tomary associates in a private room, and
in course of conversation he remarked that
by the time he was forty years of age he
should be worth prinoely fortune. and
should then retire. One of his compan.
ions suggested that he might not live to be
forty years of age. The Canadian replied
that "they were not yet ready for him
down there" pointing downwards. Some
one asked him for one of his favorite
songs, and he complied, beginning with
the words: give come home to die
mother I've come to de-" Scarcely had
be completed the sentence, when his head
fell upon bis breast, and he became mo-
tionless and rigid. His companions rushed
to bis side and found he was pulseless-
dead.

T~.,tor. Must be Punished. .

The Copperhead press is delighted with the
recommendation of Governor HUMPHREYS, of
Mississippi. urging the Legislature of that
State to provide for paying pensions to rebel
soldiers, for fighting against the.Government.
Should the rebel copperhead Democracy sue
ceed in obtaining power in this country, we
presume they will insist on pensioning VAL
LAxDrGHAN. and the copperhead editors gen.
erally. for the aid and comfort they rendered
the brave soldiers of the South in their
bloody ATTEMPT to overthrow the Government
of their country.
1t seems to us that only traitors at heart
can approve the policy of pensioning traitors
for their heroic deeds in killing loyal soldiers
battling under The flag of the Union, for the
maintenance of the Government of our fathers.
There may have been tories in the days OF
the Revolution who were proud of the gal
lantry of BENEDICT ARNOLD, in his exploits
against his country, and who would have re-
joiced had the Government of the United
States bestowed a pension on him, but We
never heard that WASHINGTON or JEFFERSON
or anysof our patriotic forefathers advocated
or defended such an Acknowledgement of the
bravery of ARNOLD in the war waged against
his country. Pensioning bafled traitors for
their services in battle against their country
is policy reserved for our day.
But how do these Copperheads reconcile it
with their endorsement of ANDY JOHNSON s
policy, who says that TRAITORS must be pun
ished, not pensioned, in order that treason
may be rendered infamous
