A fioirosjKindent of the Ivielimotid Dispatch writes to thai paper an account of the battle pf Friday, from which we c.xtraet^the following referring; to the action of Ilagood's brigade t Ha good's (S. C) brigade, nothing daunted, actually pressed on amid that heavy fire of shot and shell, and reached the enemy's works.? Mr hen General II, reached the works, he foundthat one of his colonels had surrendered his regiment, of his brigade, without consulting him. At once repudiating the aet"of his subordinate, he ordered the men to fire and then to save thfrmselyos, his supports on the right and left having long since fallen hack. General JL. himself*escaped, though two horses were killed under him whilst .retreating. The engagement lasted about two hours,' .ending about 11 o'clock, and has not been renewed since that hour. It was as^eitaincd, beyond all doubt, by the attack t hat the whole of the 5th and Ptli corps were, massed on tlu> r.-ii.'i?%?/! ??? ' -i: *> w c* nit ilinw t H U Ul" visions of the 2d.

The enemy wen' doubtless expediting fin attach, and were- advantageously posted on both sides ot the rail road, with their ares fronting us; hence Mahone found no Hank to strike. Some caviling critics wiil doubtless take occasion to animadvert upon fnis failure. In order that, the failure may be perfectly understood, I will give the reason which, in my judgment-, I'd to it. In the first. Mace,, the enemy were present in overwhelmingly strong force when compared with our numbers; In the second plae?\ they,were admirably posted and very strongly fortified artificially. Ju the third place, to the eternal discredit of 'one of our brigades, be. it said that tljev' broke nnd .ran, ard refused to be rallied by their gallant, commander, though he did all thai, a man could do. And finally, if the enemy 'were not apprised o*' our at-taylc, it .was not because thx; plan and linn* were not liinvn ..v.... <i... , - . ? ..

Gkotjoe N. Saitndeks' Courtship. ?A lady furnishes' the following concerning George N. Saunders,' who fignreft so prominently /in the late Clay, Ilolcombe ntid Greeley Peace Conference: lie started 111 life as an editor of'a newspaper in Kentucky; I think it. was called .the Mayflower, and had many lady patrpns and contributors, among whom wasMiss Itcid, "adaughter of Capt. Reid, of the Armstrong* who also designed the present United States flag. Saunders' courtship was as singular as his movements generally are. He was pleased with Miss Iteid's style of writing and opened a correspondence with her.? She then sent him her slipper, also a sash, marked the size of her waist, both of which he appeared to admire, as lu; visited her once and married her. i ftlurvfiiff ?til lite Soiitli,"?What Stijlite Statit{<!8. A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun calls attention to some striking and interesting facts, to show that the bugbear of "starving out the South," and "cutting off supplies," ?fcu, may be said with ease, but doing it is another thing.? lie says: I will select first, Sontlj Carolina, to run the parallel with, for several reasons, the chief of ' which are that she has been supposed to pro- ] duco nothing but o'otfon and rice, and she is the . ' most derided ?hd ccmthmnetl of all the slave- 1 holding States. Not many persons are a ware ' that this State'aldne produces five sixths nearly : of all the rice grown, but the census of 1850 I I sho\vs that to he the fact v besides nearly all the ( I riee, she produces wheat to within. 3000 bushels of all produce*! by tlto six New England States together. Slue produces almost as much Corn j as t he State of New Yolk, and six millions of 1 bushels of tlwit grain more than uH the New , England States together, for she produced lipwards of 1G,000,01)0 of bushels. She produced more oats than Maine \ more byl, 0f)0,000 bilshels than Massachusetts ; more , tllhn 1,000,000 bushels of potatoes over and 1 above what Maine produced ; more heans and peas by 130(000 bushels than all the Northern ^ States together, except New York ; more beef 1 cattle than Pennsylvania by 3,740 and, almost, as' many as all the New England States togclh- f or ; more slieCp than Iow? and .*!%'iseonsin by 10,G99 ; more hogs than New York by 47,251; ' more than Pennsylvania by 251,137, and 80,- I 000 more-than all the New England States, with New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin ami j California in the* bargain ; more horses and * ifiulcs by 10,000 than Maine, New liampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island together ; he- ' sides all which she produces' largely of oxen, ! cows, and a variety of products .of smaller I.:., i KIWIS. 'i Virginia and North-Carolina produced jointly 13,363,000 bushels of wheat-, or 241,000 bushels more than the meat wheat '"{Slate of . New York,'or a quantity equal to the \vhoic product of the six New England States, with New .Jersey, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin, all put together. Virginia, North C?:olina and Tennessee produced 115,471,503 ^ushols ' of eor.n. a quantity exceeding by 800t00t> hushels the joint product of New York, IVulisylva.,nia-, Ohio, New .Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine". 1 Tennessee alone produced 1G,50G more hogs i than all the six New England Slates, with New York, Pennsylvania, Ne-v Jersey, Iowa and Michigan; for that State produced 3,104,SOO hogs, while the eleven Northern States named produced but. 3,OSS,304. Most of pcnpic have " thought that the North was really the hog pro- ( ducing section, hut such is hv no mqaus the | laet. Tiie whole nuinlier of hogs- produced in 1650 was 30,81 6,008, of which the slavcholding States furnished 20,770.730. or T lnrn 1I 1 two-thirds of tlio whole swine production. i It will doubtless surprise many persons to l>e t told that tlic seven gulf or cotton Stato3 of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas produced 45,137 moie beef cattle than the six New England States, 1 New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, j Indiana, Michigan, and "Wisconsin, altogether, i but such is the fact, tor the census of 1850 tells " us that these seven cotton plates produced 3,354,480 beef cattle, while the thirteen Northern States named produced but 3,312,327. A single glance at the live stock columns of ( the seventh census will prove to the inquirer ] that the slaveholding States produced nioro i beef cattle than the non-slavelmlding by 1.782,587. That while the North produced" 3,541,12J cows, the South pnWuced 2,829,810. That ? the Northern States produced 800,397 work oxen, against 820,340 produced by tho SouthI ern States. That while the Nortl v.. |/l V/MUVUU 2,310,902 horses and' innIcs, the South produced 259,358 more, for the Southern produc- ' tion was 2,570,t920. - I In conclusion", as people have boon so Inuch 4 in the habit of conceding superiority to the North, in those and other points of view, may be .the above statements may be doubted; if so, I refer the skeptical to the seventh census of 1S50, the last date we have. .
