The Fight near 8taanton>
Tbe Lynchburg Republican of Tbura
? mm :
From a gaulleman who left Staunton
I 10 o'clock lay morning, and who
ad every aource of corract information
I bis command, wo learn that tbe light
as a very severe ooe, and for touie time
ad progressed ?ery successfully for ur,
ie enemy having been several times reulsed,
when on a sudden, from some un
(plained cause, the 00th Va. regiment,
bicli held an important point on out
no broke in confusion and thus caused
,her portions of our line to give way ?
t this moment (Jon. Win. K Jones wsi
tiled, while endeavoring to rally tin
roken regiment, ilia fall created addi
onal confusion, of which tbe enemy wen
rompt to avail themselves. The entir?
oe then fell back about two miles and
?ld their position until night, tbe enemy
>t pursuing. Findikg that tbe enemy
era not deposed to renew the battle tlx
xuiuand was given to fall back upoE
/a) oesboro', which waa done in good
der, our artillery end traioa being all
ought off safely.
All account* concur in the opinion that
it for the unfortunate panic of the 60th
giment, we abould have achieved a
'illiaot victory. The enemy had beeo
iree litnea repulaed, and their line wai
avering, and it ia believed had our men
ood firm for fifteen minute* longer tliey
ould have broken and retreated, when
lift disastrous panic inspired them with
mewed courage and enabled tbeir otli
ra to rady their dispirited columns and
atcli the victory from our grasp.
Our lots in the fight was heavier then
ported yesterday, it now being stated
at we had from 600 to 600 killed and
Minded.

Confederate Congress*
liiciiMOND, June )3.
Pi
The most important action in etlhei
' Houses of Congress to day, was the pas
sage of the bill amending the tax law, ai
C reported from the Committee of Confer
'' ence. Among the provisions of the bill
as passed, are the following: Land pur
' chased and occupied by refugees to In
? assessed at its market value in I860.?
9 The property and assets ot corporation!
and associations to lie taxed ihe same ai
8 the property and assets of individuals,
* the tax to be paid by tlie company, pro'
vide<l, that no bank shall pay on its <le
posits. The stock of corporations and
M associations and property within the ene
iny's line*, are exempted from lax upon
five per cent, of (he tux. Amount el
r specie, bills of exchange,' ?fco., io he paid
with specie or its equivalent in Treasury
notes. An additional tax of thirty per
' cent, has been levied upon the amount ol
| profits accruing from sales of 'articles,
which is mentioned in the first two prfta
i '
graphs of the fourth section of the tax
' ace, from February J7th to July 1st. Old
1 five dollar notes are to he taxed a bun
* dred per cent, after the first of January.
' In secret session on Friday nifcht, Con^
gress adopted a manifesto declaring that
nothing was more ardently desired than
peace. The series of successes w-th winch
it has pleaded the Almighty to bless our
arms since the opening of the present
campaign, enables us to prdfess (bis desire
in the interest of civilization and huinanity,
without the danger of having
our motives mis interpreted l*y the world,
which must no* see that wo can never
be conquered.
Will not our adversaries begin to feel
that humanity has bled long en ugh, and
desist from longer perseverence in the
wanton and hopeless contest. The war
on our side has beep strictly defensive.?
We do not write to interfere with the
peace and prosperity of (lie'Slates arran
ged against us. all that we ask is the un
disturbed enjoyment of our rights, which
clared tbe heritage of all parties.?
Tbe hoc ml compact of our adversaries ?>*)
deaf to tlm voice of reason and justice,
and they shall determine upon tbe indeGi
nite prolongation of tlie content, and upon
i th**ni will be liie responsibility and decision
bo iiijurioUa to the interest of inau
kind. We have no fear of the result.
Last of a 8ubjugated People
A movement is at tbia moment taking
place In tbe East of E'irnpe which excites
( the most painful interest in the Western
( world. The Russians, having taker, the
last stronghold of the Circassians, have
( intimated to the tribes dwelling in and
around those mountains that tbey must
I either bear allegiance to the Emperor of
f Russia or emigrate; the sea coast liihes
, are given five years to lake the cboica ;
j the hill tribes must do so immediately.?
( The choice has been quickly and generally
I itKen; muuuuues, 10 trie n>in?t>er ol 300,
I 000 are flocking to the shorn, nnd looking
out for any coasting vessel that will
transport them to Turkish territory. Few
vessels are found, sn<i on ibose few the
L accommodation is, of course, wholly in
, adequate In the meantime the people
( die like sheep; some on the coast where
! (hey are awaiting transports, some in the
, country where they take refuge, many on
: shipboard during the passage ; twenty
, per cent is the least proportion of I ss
that can be calculated; of 600 passengers
I on a steam transport. 370 only arrived
alive. The lurkish Government has
done what it could ; the few available
transput ts were eeut to the coast, and
now some men of war are to he disarmed
for ibe same duty, ftheiter, nourishment,
and sanitary regulations have bean pro
vided to the full extent of their means; a
aubacription baa L>??n a'.arled, wbicb the
Sultan baa moat munificently beaded
with tU euro of 60,0001; but it ia calcu
lated that the permanent eat abliab want
of tlia emigraota will coat tl|a Govern
mant morn" than l,000,0Q0f. In tba
midat of diaaatar there are many who
I love to apaeulaia on the poeaible advan
i tagea which in ay reault ; tbvaa people
t ' talk of iho immense benefit which ill?
addition of a strong inouotHin race will
e , be? not ovlf to the blood of the country, wl
| but to ita laboring powers over the vast
| uocullivnting Edens of Asia Minor. The
y latter hope may have good foundation, *s
a but as to the former we must remember ',e
j that the Turk is already more than half
a Circassian, through the continual ming- c'*
0 ! ling of that race with the Turkish on the re<
1 : mother's side. Another idea is that they '?'
I j may be profitably used to recruit the ar
! ruy ; this will he a ereat benefit to the
r Turks, and we doubt not the greatest of
Iroons to the hardy mountaineer, who tyi
may. perhaps, thus meet I.is oppressor *r'
and exterminator on eoual terms on the an
I plain* <>f Hesssrabia, or wherever else the
r '
next blow will be struck by Russia a- rH
gainst Turkish independence. ?
Qrant'a Tactics. pr,
We think it may be safely asserted
that, since war first became known to |ie
' mankind, no General ever sacrificed bis
men so recklessly, so remorselessly, and ;ty
1 to so little purpose, as General Grant.? (Hj
1 He started from bis camp on the North )le
i side of the Rappahannock, little more w |
than a month ago, with 130,000 men.? wj
lie has been reinforced, according to the
statements of bis friends, by more than i
80,000 since that time, six: Slantou says i
be sent him 25,000 veterans after the jty
battle of liie 12ib May ; Rutler has ser.t lh
him 20,000, and prisoners say he has re- i
ceived 40,000 from Ohio and other sour- 1 f
ces making a total ot 85,000. Yet Ilia |jV)
army, at this day, in the opinion of those H r
best qualified to judge, does not greatly
exceed 100,000 men, and is, certainly, I ft
greatly interior iu numbers to wbnt it whs |
when be started on bis crusade. 'lie lost cbi
75 000 iu Spotlsylwania, and bis losses ]
in Hanover cannot h>?ve fallen very tar ole
short 01,25,000. Tbus be has sacrificed
100,000 men, the flower, not only of bia
own troops, but of tbe whole United >n^
Slates army. In return be has effected
nothing, absolutely notbiug. I<ee's entire '
loss since tbe campaign opened, does not ^
amount to 17,000, all told, killed wouu
ded and missing. He has never once
been forced from a position, and has only
fallen bark, when hi* enemy despairing
of victory, has attempted to slide otf to Cru
COf

fighting. Grant, in the meantime, has

Laroe called on Charity, and humbly
krd for a cracker. Instead of a cracker
received a loaf.
Lazy, seeing I he gift of Charily, exlimed?"What,
ask for a cracker and

Lazy now applied to Charity, and call
lor a loaf of bread.
"Your demanding a loaf," said Chari
, mildly, "proves you are a loafer. You
e of the class and character who ask
d receive not; you ask amiss."
Lazy, who always found fault, and had
ther whine than work, complained of
treatment, and even accused Charity
a breach of an exceeding and pious
nmise?"Ask, and ye shall receive."
Charity pointed him to a painting in
r room which presented to his vision
ree personages, Faith, Hope and Char
. Charity appeared larger and more
