it was, the movement was
A BRILLIANT SUCCESS.
Seventeen hundred prisoners were taken,
among whom were Gems. Truman Seymour
and Shaler, and 600 of the Federal dead were
buried on the field next morning. Gordon
was made a major general as reward for
the gaIlantry and skill displayed by him in
| this affair.
Though our skirmish line was holly en-
gagged, Hays brigade proper took no part in
! the action. Federal newspaper accounts
subsequently reported that the best fighting
corps Of their army, numbering 10000 men,
| had been panic-stricken, and stampeded. All
this had been accomplished by less than 5000
Confederates. Gen. Early's staff then acting
with Gordon) suffered severely in this action.
| Major Sam Hale his Inspector General and
nephew, being killed, and his Adjutant Cen
eral, Major j. W. Daniel NOW one of the fore
| his leg so shattered that he had to undergo
the operation of resection, which badly Grip
| pied him for life.
! AS have before stated the great battle OF
| the Wilderness was essentially contest be-
! tween the infantry OF the two armies. The
woods were too thick to admit of the move
ment and use of artillery, and only a half
dozen pieces were brought into action by
| either army Grants loss, according to OIL
cial reports, was at least four times greater
than that Of Gen. Lee. This disparity is &C.
counted for by the fact that Gen. Lee for the
| most part, fought his men in single line, be-
| hind substantial, though hastily constructed,
field works, While Grant sent his troops for
ward to the charge in heavy columns.
| Being at last convinced of the futility OF
| further efforts to drive Gen. Lee out OF the
Wilderness Gen. Grant, on the seventh OF
May, commenced to move his army to Spott-
SylVania.

THE SECOND DISTRICT.
To the Editor Of the St. James louisiana

To the Editor of the st. James Louisianais:
Referring to a communication under the
signature Of 'Sic, published in your number
of the fifteenth OF last month, | see that my
name Is therein suggested In a very fattering
manner, as a suitable candidate to represent
the Second Congressional District Of Louisi-
ana. While / am truly fiattered at the high
estimate placed by your correspondent upon
my humble efforts at the bar and In the late
conflicts of the Democratic party in this
State, and while l shall continue to struggle
for the final success OF that party as the true
exponent of the Federal constitution and of
the rights of the States Hereunder, and as
the heroic champion Of true reform, and of
good home government, have no desire for
office, and must respectfully decline the honor
rendered by your correspondent and indorsed
by yourself.
crafty the request OF valued and Jealous
friends. were a powerful incentive to accept
their invitation, but duty to my profession,
to my family and to serious interests, all OF
which would suffer through my absence en-
phatically dictates different course.
Had / believed that my services in Con-
gress could have better enhanced the inte-
rests of Louisiana, and shed more lustre on
her good name than the present incumbent of
that Office patriotism should have compelled
me to make the sacrifice Of my personal views,
feelings and interests; but believing, as it
will be admitted by all fair-mtnded cOnstitu-
ents of Hon. E. John Ellis, our talented Rep
resentative, that he has ably and truly repre-
sented the district for the last four years
and that the experience acquired by him dur
ing that time will contribute to render him
more efficient, and eminently more useful
than I could be, l think that wisdom and
patriotism alike require that | should not

LUCERNF CULTURE.


Mr.. D. r. Flcnniken, of Winns-
boro, writes rs follows to tho SoutA~
,ern Gultivatop;
In reply to your inquiry in your
juno No., in reference to my lucerne
lot, I would state that the land is
rich. I have for the last four years
been working the land with the
view Of bringing it to high state

fine crop Of COW peas on it. L cut
the vines and put them away for
feed, and then scattered what ma
nure I had collected since spring g
broad cast, and broke it up with u
small bull tongue. I then TUNED
it over with q two~horso Watt
plough, drawn by two lurge strong
mules, rs deep as they could con-
xeniontly pull it. In tho samo
furrow I followed with q one horse
plough with bull tongue on it..
You can form somo idea how deep
it was, when tho beam Of tho one
horse plough was almost all the
timo below tho surface of the
ground. I then narrowed it with q
two-horso rotary harrow, both ways,
which loft tho land like q nicely
prepared garden bed. I thcn SOW

[ have made five cuttings since

concerning the pledge to be taken

Bafore being permitted to cast

81 solem3iy affirm that I am n du-
ly enrolled member of this Demo
cratic club, thlt I have not voted at
this election, and that I will abide
by and sustain all nominations
made by the Democratic party,
whether for Fe>lcral, State or coun..
ty officers" A refusal to take this
pledge or any part of The same
snail be good ground Of challenge
and rejection.
Doubts have been expressed
whether every person must vote at

OF the language of tho pledge will
show that he must do so.--that Ian
