It wan j late Thursday evening when the first nt- j tack wns made. The position of the one-. my at (leaver Dam ('reek was of the moat j formidable kind Gen.

This j place is, by nature, the most defensible po. si'.ion I ever saw?lltero was no other in our line of match that half equaled it. The batteries being on a sleep height, some fifty i fe.'t. flanked by rifle pits and infantry works ; a deep creek nt the foot of the hill covered with a heavy undergrowth that | seemed almost impenetrable. Several Brigades kooii went to the sup. ' port of Gen. Ripley's, when night coming on and such was tho nature of the ground, that our troops stayed the fight until morn. ? CFriday's Fiqiit.

It was not long before wo heard the command of ' for .turd march," I he 1st South Carolina, resting on our right, marched of]' amid eheers and our boys followed suit. We halted ir a hall mile of the enemy, formed line of battle, and waited fur the word of command It was not long in coming. Gen Gregg routing up at this time give us to understand what we hud to do. and coin, mniided us to ''forward, double quick" and charge the enemy's strong fortifications at HtUaon's Mills, which our troops hud failed to take Thursday evening, and a dim ription of which 1 have already given. We did not udvunee en their breastworks by the road as bud been dono by Ripley the previous evening, but simply made a feint in that direction, crossed the main body nigh, er up the creek, took the redoubts and rifle pits en fl ink, tarried lliein with the bayo. net, pushed onward through the camps, and pressed the enemy tightly in their retreat until they arrived at Guilts' Mill*, another strong position. Tliey made a desperate aland here for some little time, hut our boys soon waded the creek, punted over and routed '.hem again, taking some prison* era and capturing an innumerable amount of conimisniy stores and other vuluables, too tedious to name. I will, however, state that the inner man was refreshed with No 1 whiskey, and other very desirable, 1 may say, delicacies All of our boys linvo good shoes and plenty coffee captured at this place.

They hnd aufficionl time, therefore, to throw up brcnat< worka, which Ihev did about one mile farther on. When we again came in full view of the enemy, they opened a moat terrific fire upon ua with canister shot ami shell.? Wo double qiiickea for half a mile lo gniri n more defensible position in their front, und many a gallant fellow fell while croi>a. ing the open plain. Here, was the warmest contested tight of the day. The 13th and Ut Regiment, held at bay 24,000 infantry for about two hoars. It wua thought that *e would be reinforced by Jucsaon on our lefi, and which I understand, since the in giigement, was the plan, but our General seemed too precipitate and loo noxious lo take the batteries In our front ; and came very near being (linked by hie disobedience of orders. We w as joal in Ike situation | that it was ruinous to hold our position or lo fall back, so a forward movement was contemplated and executed in the most gallant manner. It w? in this charge that our gallant and loved Captain fell, seriously wounded, besides three others of our coinpany was killed. Ihaveslrend) forwarded you a list of the killed and wounded in Friday's engagement, in both Companies from Lancaster. The most earnest rwis tsnce made us, was br the i'ith U. H. Regulsrs and lOlli N.

Kire after fire waa pouted into Iheir retreating ranka, and 100 lay dead on the field next morning fronting where our Ueg- | intent engaged ibem. It waa a hard con- ' tl*ted tiuld, und but for the bravery and dia- j oipline of our troopa we would have failed to carry tliia point. Col. Darnra could alwaya be found at tha brad of hla Regiment, encouraging hie . men, both by eiamplo and word. Capt. J Frnnk Clyburn maneuvered his command ! with notable akill and efficiency.

Itu*pectfolic, A. Mo. PERRY. [for. Til* LANCASTER LK00KR.J Mil. Editor.?Tnere has been a great dcnl sai.I about speculators and different persons selling the necessaries, s?f essential to life, lit sueh exorbitant prices, in these troublesome timers, and that not without a good reason. We may necessarily expect these contingencies in time of war from the very fact that out ports have been blockaded and are not easily accessible to thoso countries (ruin which we get salt and some few things that we cunnot well do without, unless ru.uiing the risk of the who's curgo being captured bv the eneinv. These nrli clcs are frequently made higher by the grce dy and unscrupulous appetite of the speculators buj ing up Ihe whole cargo and then H-king their own prices. I cannot see how any patriotic man ran demand high profits for what lie buys to | sell, or what lie raises for su!e, Iroui hi* : neighbor in such times, because every arti- j clu is cash, consequently no risk to the sell- 1 er in losing anything by nelling on a credit j I There ure two classes in our country and : always have been?the producer and lion- I 1 producer of provisions. It is true the producer does riot raise every urticle he con-1 suiues?Mich us sal'., eolTee die. Hut he has ) not as many things In buy us llic lion producer. Therefore the producer should only ask such puces (especially in these times) ! I as will pay Ititil h reasonable prolit for his labor, and ut the same time for s price to ! | let Hit other class live. We ure all con i tending tor the same great and glorious ( j cause. Therefore we are mutually dependant on each other in liii* death iike struggle for our independence. It is true the producer has to pay from ; ?10 to ?'JO | er bushel for salt, and 81 per 10 lor collet', (iT lie umm it.) lu* has al?o high ! taxes lo pay. Hut recollect (lie non prodecer lint these same articles lo buy, the same ; me* to puy.niid then bit provisions to buy. ! Therefore we producers should be as moderate in prices as the necessity of the ci.se requite: We ought to do lo thorn as wo would Imve them do lo us in similar circumstances. How can the preacher of the gospel live, or the non producing soldier aupp. it his ( family T If the preacher get but his usual salary, and the soldier only ill I per month. When we charge them from $15 to 3JO per bnrrel for flour and other things in proportion.

[FOR TIIE LAKCA8TF.lt LEDGER.J Cotton is King and will continue to reign, pro tided the Confederacy makes a proper exercise of her powers, Let Iter lake ere I that the right to the cotton does not puss ; into the hand* of foreigners, but that it remain under the control of our own people, who may bo authorized to b tru it in caso patriotism demand it. It is probable that Lincoln agents have taken possession of a considerable quantity in the South west, o ar Government and people not haviiig la ken tho precautionary steps to prevent it ? Let us profit by this lesson of experience. It is remarkable that the nyiuis for cot ton commenced at the darkest time of our i struggle with Vankeedoin. llow nro we to account for this ?
