Still Another Victory. We clip the following special dispatch from he Mercury of Friday : "RIctltOxD, August 15.-Our troops gained mother brilliant victory near Leesburg on L'uesday afternoon. The news is perfectly tuthentic. It appears that a foreo of about l,700 Usited States troops, detached from Juenvra liatka' div'aun, forded the Potomac warty opposite Leeahnrg on Mouday evening. Their puzr;ose was probably to make a short ora. ing expedition, and return before they :ou!d be attacked. During the night, how .ver, the river became tnuch swollen by the recent rains, and the fords were no longer pa~sable. In the meantime, the Southern suuts having given the information of their presence at headquarters, Gen. N. C. Evans, with the 17th and 18th Missi-sippi Regiments, he 8th Virginia Regiment, and the Richmond Howitzer .lattalion, hastened to attack the marauders. Passing through Leesburg on Tueaday tmtorniog, our troops succeeded in surrounding the enemy. Alter a sharp at tack, during which about :100 of the United States troops were killed and wounded, the remainder, between 1,400 and 1,500 in num: ber, finding their retreat completely cut oft' by the unusual condition of the river, sur rendered at discretion. Our loss was com paratively trilling-being only aix killed and nine wounded. A large number of wagons, with gulls and ammunition in abundance, were taken. "Passengers who arrived to-night by the train from 3lansasa-, repor t that the news of this signi triumph is undoubtedly true. A number of wagons had beena sent to Leesburg t bring down the booty. "I There have been a unumber of flying ru mors of fighting at Ae'quia Creek, but none of' thema arte confirmed or generally credited. " The President has to-day issued his pre lamation, requiring all citizens of the United States, being mnales of' fourteen 3 ears and up wards, witiain the Confederate States, and adhering to the Government of the United States, and acknowledging the authority of the same, and not being citizens of the Con ederate States, nor citizens of' the States of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, nor f the District of' Columbia, nor the T1errito ries of Arizona and New Mexico, nor the In dian Territory south of Kansas, to depart' [ro the Confederate States within forty days frotm the date of' this proclamation ; and such persons remaining in the Confederate States after that time shall become liable to be treated as alien enemies. "'1This proclamation, however, excepts aull citizens of the United States residing within the Conufederate States, with intent to become citizens thet'eof', ttnd who shall make a de claration of such intentioni, in due form, acknowledging the authority of the Govern ment of the Confederate States. " The appointment of' Lietut. Col. Ripley as Brigadier General of the Provisional Army of the Confederate St..tes has been cotnfirtmed by Congress.

The lontg line of troops included tile several brantches of the service. cavalry, infantry atnd artillery. To one accustomed to the grand military dis plays in Europe it was nto novelty-; yet the scnce appeared to impres-; the pritee with a favorable idea of' the pru'enalu of' our troops. ie seemed to be somewhat surprised at the nanimity of' sentiment existing at the Somth, and thought it boded a protracted war. Wihen he alludedl to a possibility of a reconstruction of the L'nion, lie was told by the genitleman at his side that it was no motre possible than that the sun and moon could revolve in the aine orbit. Thte prince was met on his ar rival by Getn. Beauregard, with a splendid escort of cavalry, antd the samne mark of cour tesy was tendered hima on his return. He preferred, however, the escort of two getntle men, whom he selected-Major C. 11. Morgan, of the third Tetnnessee reginmenit, Elzey's brig ade, and Captain Charlton Morgan, of the same regiment. The hast-named oflieer was chosen in consideration of the fact that his father fought under Victor Emanuel in the Garibaldi campaign. Capt. M. himself was the Consul at Messina, Sicily, a position which h resigned when Lincolin was elected Presi dent; after which he was secretary to Colonel A. Dudley Mann, one of the Confederate Com-. missioners in Europe. He returned home a few miontha since, and immnedtately entered the service of his native South."

The death of this pure chev-alier will ever be esteemed one of the brightest yet saddest inci dents of the present great war. The very embo ditment (as he was) of Carolina chivalry, his deeda of valor on the plains of Manassas astonished even the general in commoand, aeustede as he was to Southern fervor and1 acquaintett as he had recently b~ecomue with Carolina enthusiasm. But in the midst of his heroic efforts, the fatal ball was numbered which assigned him a soldier', grave. It has long becen said and sung, that " te die fur one's country" is "sweet" as well as "lhon arable ;" the thought wats never more fully yeri fledl than in the death scene of this hero. e quote a touching acc-ount of tjeneral BI:E's last moments fromu a letter addressed to the Charlestoci Couerier : "While participating in the thickest of the fight, a ball penetrated the gruinl and passed up wards in the region of the stomnaeh. lie was al once boerne fromn the field to a neighiboring hos pital, and after a tempoirary rest t here, remocvedl to'Mannessas, where ani aplartmlent was prov-idce filr him in the hotel. Among those who called upon the wioundedi tieneral vin the ay following was his old friend. Cil. Topper, of Charleston Iwho wats on be Snuff ofi Gen.

In due tiare this labor of love wa tinisheid, anid he turned his attention to the com piany peresenat. Col. Tuppiler was among these, ant as the hands of the two friends maet for the las time, ]lee gently drew lhim down so asm to be mor distinctly henrd, while Col. Tupper bent upon hi. knee and laid his f'ace uplon that of the dyinj man. The latter then said: "Colonel, our ac eiuaintance has been of a very pleasant nature It's hardl to part where friends are so dear, but] mutt soon leave you. God bless and preiteet you.' With others of his friends he also exchangee brief words of parting. "Shortly afterwards, the dying General askee to ho raised in his bed, which being done, witl his hands clasped, eyes biarning with an almos supernaturnel light as if he already looked upor the glories of another world, he repeated a verse but utifortunately I can only give the lust twc lines: My spirit soars to meet its God, I die in the arms of victory. " With these upon his lips, the hero was luie back upon his piillow and without a struggle sank to his eternal rest. t' lie had emphatically carried his life in hit hand and the grace of God in, his heart, aced wheti the messenger came, it founid him ready and wil ling to obey the summons.

It is a measure of perfect safety to the citizen who loans. e Ie will got flair pay for his cotton & at some day, and $ per cent interest thereon in the mean time.

The cud attained by it, will be the safety of that (Gov eminent with all that we prize and love upon ef earth. An easier venture fur a greater stake, was never placed before any people. The only argu-. e ent of any force behind which hesitating men le can find shelter, is the necessity of paying debts; but there can not be a doubt that Confederate Bonds will lncer thin purpose as well as cash. Public opinion, if not actual enactwient, will make it so. Some may ray, "it is my own cotton and I can d and will do as I please with it." So you can and su you may. But your country asks you to lend it, inl this wsonIerJ, to the Government that is en deavoring to save yourself, your family, your friends, your riches, your hopt.s of earthly hap pines, the hopes of freedom, the common all-in all of the Southern people, fromt destruction; and you " can," aiid assuredly " will" answer that call without a thought of self-interest beyond the se d urity ofi'ered. It is with this confidentexpecta etion that the iGovernment has ventured upon this policy ;-and sad itndeed will be the record of that in State or 1)istrict which shall show but little done I in this important mnatter. ~.One very sitngular ulbjectiun hias been urged d against this scheme, viz: that " the planters will 1be taking their own bonds for their own cottont." Now, what-is the operation? You take~. Confedt oferate Bond of one thlousand dollars for twen ~ty-ftve bales of cotton. That bond is cash to yor'. IYou pniy a debt, with ii, or you exchange it for r, other funds and support your family with it. It 'is "one, used, apIplied to your p~urposes exclusive gly, enjoyed by you and yours. 'There's an end rof it. lBut you saty, "no, sir, not an end of it ut yet ;-I have to pay a tax to meet the tinlal liqui. e datio~n of these bonds."

A free people contending for their civil liber ties, and united among themselves, cannot be sub jugatei. This proposition has bcen correctly an noned in .ever..d quarters pending the present great struggle. Let us present the same idea in other words, viz: A Confederation of free States fighting for their existence as such, and united in interest anl destiny, are invincible against all ods that. tay be considered probable in the pres ent attitude of the nations of the earth. To ex plain t his latter qiualification, our meaning is, that appreciation of right, and sympathy with a noble cause, woul.1 not in this age allow the belief that any such overwhelming combination could be brought about as would be required for the pur pose indicated. Or, to make the case our own, no alliance of powers is at this time rationally corseeivable that can conquer the Confederate States of America. As to this dread end being ecomplished by Yankee arms alone, it is an ab surlity not to Le entertaineel. The most remark::ble illustration on record of the general proprsition, is one with which every schoolboy is familiar, but which may be advan tageously considered at the prtent moment by both parties in this contest,-by the South, to in spire her sons with faith and invincibility of spirit,-by the North, to call her people to a sense of their fully and infatnation. We allude to the attempted subjugation of the States of Greece by the concentrated might of Persian power. And although this remarkable chapter of history dates back nearly live hu.dred years before the Chris tian era, yet freedom then was what freedom is now, and the heroes who fell at Marathon and Platwa were neither less nor more than those who are now-battling for the South in the identical great cause of free and independent States against a tyranny that would subjugate and destroy all before it. We ask the student to refer to this mighty struggle of a past day, and to noteits points of resemblance to the one in which we are now in volved. He will find that itwas then as nowa strug. gle between a consolidated despotism on the oneside and "Confederate States" (such are E. LY-roN Bu. wEn's own words) on the other. le will And that the head of that despotism was then as now a weak official led on to his magniloquent threats by wicked advisers. He will And that the misera ble tool of a Persian cabal, like him of Washing ton, looked upon his gathered hosts and in silly vanity exclaimed : "Thi1k you that the Greeks will presitnme to rceiet te !" And he will find an answer to every such question springing then from Sparta as it has now in effect from each and every Confederate Sta-, of the South: "Your proposi tion of servitude is rejected by the G reeks, and even if the rest of them sided with you, Lacedce mon still would give you battle,-question not in what uunbers,-had Sparta but a thoutsatid inn she ieould oppose you." le will find that then as now "a Congre s" (so Bulwer says) of some of the endangered states was convened, and that commissioners were dispatched to other states whose interests were the same, asking their speedy alliance. He will find that then .as now, to use the historian's own language again, "all the pro ceedings of this illustrious Congress were charae ied by rigiiant prudence and dteisirc energy." He will find the army of this Confederation of free States, then as now, gathering to meet the impend. ing storm, unawed by the immense preparations fur their overthrow. He will find that the oppo sug forces, after various less decisive engage ments, did at length then meet on the field of Platoma as now upon the plains of Mannssas. He will find that the well.aprointed army of the in rnIder, then as unow, was three ilmes that of the Confederates; and lhe wilt also' find that, then as now, the raut of the despot's cohorts after a des perate battle was abisolute in every part of the field. To show the similitude of circumistunees still further, we quote a passage from the history of that great conflict which will in several par tielairs strike the reader of to-day in whos;, minI still lingers the ne ws of the battle of Manas att and its detailed results. Says history : " The vitory won, the conquerors were dazzled by the oye/ont p 1lusuder ,rhaichi r'enine,-tenlts and couheu decorated with precious metals,-eips>, nd reseltand sacks of gold,-and the deed thetia ueenrc a booty fronst the costly ornanients of their cains, and braelets, and eintares rtinly uplen did,-hoeen, atnd camels, and Persian woar.en, and all the trapiny,, aned ojqianceu lay icY. ic/ despu ati ,naide ai luixury sof ,rur." It is needless further to suggest the re~cmbhlance of this pticture and that;--it will occur to every mind. The similari ty of the great civil emergency is however the fetre in the contrast which gives us most pleas ure in the contemplation. It was then, as now, the few tagainst the mnany,-thp free against the 'pre-'sor,-indepentdence against invasion. TheL few, the free, anud the indep~end'ent, then triumiph ed against the most tremendous odds; and they will do it no0w. come what will. Let us remnember G~reec, who had a far greater power to contend agnst than have we, and with less means than are ours. ]Uut shte fought for her all, and so does the South. .lluting the samne hi.pes and ineen tives, let us trust that our Manassas, like her Platea, will .e followed' by a rapid series of 5ue eeses thait shall crutsh the lower of the invader forever. And let us show to the new worldl as G reece did to the old, thait free Sticis, properly orgaiiaed, enn never bie subjugated ait the will of dptianm. _____ Col. J.i'n s' Re-giunent.

Jenkins. Ttbcse were ,tationedI at MacLane's Ford on LUll lRun. keat. Loingstreet was on the right at Ulacktburn's Fortd, while Ge-n. Ewell occupied a poasiin at Mitchaell'- FArd. Just in fronut of Jo'nes' position, on a hill opposite, was a but tery of eight guns, which all the mnoning ha d been pouring upon our forces an incessant thionith harmless fire. This, Jones was to attack in front, imaegstreet In the rear and Ewell on the right. " The first brigade iiceordingly tadvanced bty a ciruitoits route, the South Carolitinins in front, the Seventeenth on their left and the Eighteenthi on their right, mand took up r. positiotn on thne htili a~out half a tmilo from thus battery. Here, before the Eighteenth were coumpletely f--.rmed, the bat tery opened upon the brigade a heavy fire of grape, mnister and musketry. The South Carolinians were ordlered to advance, and they made an im petuous charge across a fiehld about three hundred yards in length. This brought them to the edge of an exceedingly dense thicket, which covered the delivity of the hill, but our boys gallantly continued their way uder a galling storm of mus ketry, shell and grape, which the enemy directed into their midst from the brow of a neighboring hill, until the latter were forced to retreat, first under cover of theirhbattery, and finally to a neigh boring ravine. " Now comes the most unfortunate part of the whole affair. Col. Jenkins and his command had charged so rapidly over the bill that when the Mississippians on the left and right comne around the ravine, and saw the Carolinians rushing on, they mistooke them for retreating Yankecs, and at the distance oef only onehundred yards opened a tremendous fire. Hlere most of our nmen fell. The musketry continued until we got out of their reach. It is dire to them, however to sniy that their ofhi ers, recognizing the South Carrolinians, from thecir uniforms andI flags, threw thmelvees in front of their tmen, and at the risk of their lives endeav ored to stopi their firing. The Eighteenth Regi mnent also tired umpont the Seventeenth, and not withstanding that both Carolinimans and Missis sippians threw up their hands and gave the sig nal of the day, it was itnpossible to restrain the terrible discharge of musketry which con tinuted. " By the time the Carolinians got out of tihe range of this unexpected fire they were within four hundred yards of the enemy's artillery, which Meanwhile the Mississippians discovering their O mistake, oad being in some confusion, withdrew from the ground. Finding that he was thus to tally unsupported, the other regiments composing the brigade having left him, and after having sent. several couriers to General Jones, without response, Colonel Jenkins determined to retire. le accordingly threw two companies upon the brow of the bill to protect his retreat, and then sloiwly and in good order withdrew his command. "Colonel Jeukius exhibited the greatest gallan try throughout the action, and considering that tie Mississippians made him their especial mark, it Is a mirucle that he eseaped. His stirrup was struck by a bullet, and the balls whistled around him in a shower. "Within a few moments after his retreat the enemy deserted their guns aid likewise retired, probably under the apprehension that we had fallen back to renew the charge, and it is supposed did not return, as they left upon the ground a large amount of luggage. There is no doubt that had the at tack been continued we should have completely routed the enemy, captured the' battery at that time, and have produced a totally different result from that which, took place. "The advance of the Carolinians was one of the bravest and boldest movements made during the day. The discipline was admirable. Every man appeared as cool and determined as if upon an evening review, and not a foot was stirred in re treat until the order was given by Col. Jenkins, when it was reluctantly obeyed. When the news was imparted to President Davis, he paid them the high compliment of saying that "none but Carolinians would have made such a charge." " The Old Dominicker." So our five-year-old baby persists in calling the speckled hen, without the fear of the good old monks before her; And to encourage competi tion, we desire to make known " old domjinickerV' abilities. Besides laying any quantity of the fmnest eggs throughout the early spring, the has now living two broods of chickens, ten of large size worth $1.40, and fourteen nearly a month old, fat, saucy and well to do. It is likely the good mother-hen will go to work and get up another brood by winter. And this is'the second year she has done so well, with but little attention and no special feding.
