"Tba Yankee infantry, unwai of forty thousand strong, were massed ni "Burgess' Mill, and her-' battle was joined e truest.

Finding that could make little or no impression.in the < diuary way, he massed Iiis troops several ci - urana deep against a portion of th . linc tho right, and then driving them relentless forward succeeded, at last after frightful sae fice of life in obtaining possession of a! %t lion of the. works. It .was" norlin the pow of any men, howevcriravo, to have wit stood these desperate assault^ without great support. Longstreet had not yet come u although hurrying from another part of tl . field. .Meanwhile the Federals were rcliit *- '.^forward and recoiling .like waves-those. 1? hiud impelling these before-until a lot*, meat wascflecled, tbewotk-unottnted. a fiari irig position "and enfilade fire secured, and'tl battle substantially won. Our grape and-.canister mowed thcenen down by hundreds, our rifles t?ja with une ring precision, and the ground was literal . carpeted'with the-.dead and wounded, bi theer physical brute force proved ut last si jierior to everything e'lse, and the defenc were taken. We know nothing yet of the military mov ment? of ?be day in detail. But every stab meat that reaches us confirms the fact th: our oilicers and soldiers fought Hire heroes. Gen. A. P.

Col. IIAVNK'B well-writ ten'and beautiful lecture exhibited a' high order of intellect, and won tho admiration of all who heard it. But tho Ethiopians "brought down the houso" on every occasion. Thoir funny sayings, inimical singing, playing and dancing kopt every body in ? continual roar. Tn'fact" everything pissed off ' well, and CoIke" ea.tiro satisfaction of the public. These entertainments too wcro. also successful iu a pecuniary point of view, near $3,000 being tho nett proceeds of tne two eve nings.

Th' is no difficulty in proving that men of pos ti and standing have been tho greatest traitors rocord and will gire an instance or two. Juc Iscariot was certainly a man of position, for was one of thc twelve Apostles, and he bctrty tho Sitviuor into the hands of his enemies for pieces of silver. How iuuch Yaukeo gold m have boen sent to the Confederate States as reward for treason, we of course have no mea of ascertaining ! Benedict Arnold was a man position and standing, for he was a Major Genet in thc American Army, and at ono time had t confidence of the Father of his country ; and is well known that Arnold was a traitor to 1 country. In the lust war bctvf cen Great Britk and tho United State?, William Hall, of Mass chujetls, a man of position and standing, w a prominent officer in the American Army, at he too proved to bc a traitor. Many othor iostanc might be adduced, but these are sufficient to c tablish our position, that men of ??landing- ar 1 position have often been the greatest traitors th; over lived. All true Christians ia every age, and of evci denomination, admit that tho Biblo should bo tl mau of our counoil ; and slavery is not ooly to orated, but even sanctioned by both the old an new Tpstamont.

She waa the em hiern of purity, tho embodiment of holiness, an it was her aosstantdesire to do the will of he Heavenly Fathor. Oh! how. sad..to think.'tho death laid his icy finger upon this sweet creaton who decorated-'.thc domestic circle-with the Howe of. affection, and adorned tho profession sho* mp'* by a well orde'rod life, and a" Godly cohyersatior Gruel Death ! How copra stP thou deprive society of such an oro?mont,. In early Hfe> she_ connected, herself.-with th Baptist Church, at Mountain Crock.. Sho af tot wards removed hor memberahlp, aud united her solf with; tho Olive Branch Church. Her plao at Church was always filled, and now sho is gom many will miss ber sweet smiles and pious de portmcnL I knew her well, and I may say. know hor always. We were'at school-.togethoi and oby ho w happy wo were. We dimed the h?b ! and chased tho butterflies; in fact, wo'worba .' one, and-Jothipg could separate us". . I will mis her nully, and timo CHI novar obliterate from th ' dial of my sunl tho'image of he-, dear ??lr. . M. i> nyt ?rjHTith; tearrerea sow'white I am'att?thpl ' ing to pen this simple tribute to tho memory c her whom I so dearly loved. I will often revet to the past, and call to miad tho more than hupp; momenta which wo have spent in each other' , sojeiety. 1 wish she was with me now; but wh; express this wish, when f know, that dear MAT TIE is better off. She was too pure for this world -hence God took hor to himself, and gave he f?r ber companions, the angels that surround Hi throne, and for her portion, a crown whose beaut; and brightness, shall last, when " monarchs' an? Victors' gems shall blent in common dus/." Dear MATTIK is gone I She ii now iq hoavct with the dear dopattod onos who have gone be lore. A few weeks ego, ?hu burled her lust sur vfving child, and no doubt the departure of hi: dear little treasure of her heart hastened her owi death. They are now together in the Paridiso o .God. Imagine, kind reader, the happy westing trhich took place between them in tho better world. A wook beforo her death she suffrrcd in tensely. No heart can conceive of her sufferings ? ?Lay or two before hex spirit took its flight U the eternal world, she was insensible She was denied the power of speech. Wo have everj reason te believe, that shu is now enjoying that Rest which God has-prepared for those who luve bim. Through out her whole ?ioknoss sher dis closed Christian fortitude and resignation. As a wife, sho hid no superior. Sho loved he: husband with an undying utfcctioh; as a mother, kind, loving, and obliging-; asa daughter, shu was gentle, affectionate, and dutiful; as a friend, she was constant, sincere, and unsophisticated : ai a-Christian" ibo wit* humble,-pious, Godly, and heavouly-mihdcd ; as a (islet, she was rich in love, and infinite in good, works. She has gone to her reward. In her demite, earth has lost, and heaven gained a priceless jewel.; Weep not. for her, afflicted ones, for she-lias gone to that Hoatc, " no; made with hands, eternal in the heavens.". She leaves a husbaud, aud a taree circlo .of relatives and friends lo mourn their loss. May God bljnts tho bereaved ones, and bind up their broken heart?, and pour into their, wounded spirits, the oil uf his consolation. Donrest MATTIE, thou art happy In tho realms, of Miss and light; . Where r.o pain cnn.make-thee weary, And nt' sickness dim thy sight. ( MOLLIE. WILLIAM L. CLAXTON, of this District, it member of Co. B, ?th S. C.
