The Yankees sent out a flag of truce, and surrendered unconditionally. The guerillas took 142 prisoners, and all their stores and baggage.

These latter -were met by Milroy's Federal army, who, followed by Jackson, 'were on their way to Cheat Mountain, and re* ported that locality to be occupied by ten thousand desperadoes. Milroy thereupon stopped, and was attacked by Gen. Jackson, who captured all his trains and artillery and routed his whole force.?Richmond Examiner. The Spirit of the " Rebels."-?Tho correspondent of the New York Herald admits the invincible spirit of our men in the following paragraphs of his correspondence from the Peninsula: Of all the rebel soldiers we have seen today hardly one of them recommended themselves to our friendly consideration, although we could but pity them in the hour of their humiliation. There was tho supercilious curl of the lip and the assertion of a power not nnQfiOQ&Arl Kit fKnm in ^al. ? a I j. j vuuui in tuo ou^nivoi ucf;iuc, mai rebuked whatever feelings of sympathy, under other circumstances, we might be betrayed into expressing for them. Even in the hour of sickness?aye, even death?they prated of '* whipping" us; to the last manifesting how deep-seated is the hatred against us. Comparisons were made between the loss on our side rfnd that of the rebels, always ending in the assertion that we 44 had not made much by the operation." War to the death seemed to be the motto of ally with but few exceptions. . OBITUARY. Lieut. John J. IHcKaln. Among ihose who have consecrated their services and lives to tho cause of our independence, and .sealed the offering with blood, there is none who will bo remembered by his friends with wormer feelings of love and admiration than the gallant Lieutenant JOHN JAMES McKAlN, of the Camden Volunteers?Capt. j^enneay?za Kegtment s. O. v., in Virginia Comparatively young in years, he espoused the cause oi his State and section, and was most zealous in promoting the initiatory steps towards the secession and severance of South Carolina from an odious and intolerable connexion with a government culled " the United States." When the nationality and sovereignty of South Carolina was denied and scorned at Washington, and the caution from our Commissioners sent to negotiate for an acknowledgment?" to guard the harbor," in common with most of our young and gallant spirits he promptly eurolled his name for immediate service on the coast, and was prominent in aiding the organization of the Camden Volunteers; and when thai noble company of brave young hearts was orderod to guard the gates of the Queen City, with cheerful haste the summons was obeyed; and alter the full of Sumter, Capt. Kennedy's company was among the first, if not the first from South Carolina, to volunteer practice service in the "Old Dominion." In all their services, whether in the field of instruction or on the march, or in the scene of deadly strife, when comes " the tug of war," our young friend displayed those qualities which endeared him to his * _: u:? 1 *1-- i ' ---? II icuuo, auu lauaou muj muuugsii Hie UlilVCHt unu HOblest defenders of bis home and birthright. He passed through the fearful ordeals of Bull Run ami Manassas, unscathed, and was permitted to enjoy several reunions at home with friends and loved ones, subsequent to that event. In ail his relations to society he acted well his part, and was noted for his energy and intelligence in business matters and public enterprises. The writer of this feeble tribute knew him well and intimately, and loved him much, and can bear testimony to his noble, manly character and generous dis position. It is not surprising that he should be among the martyrs of our glorious cause, for like others of us, we trust, he felt the sublime sentiment, that he would u either see his country free, or shed his last drop of blood to mako her so.1' "Better the fire upon thee roll? .Better the blade, the shot, the bowl, Than crucifixion of the soul." On picket, we are told that he fell by the hand of the assassin foe, who has dared to poluto our soil by his unholy tread, whose "touch is at our temple door," and worse than the savage fiend, leaves desolation and ruin in his track. But there is a day of retribution at hand, when a just and Holy God will give us the victory ; when for every drop of patriot freeman's blood, a thousand of the foes will be shed, or our independence full and unequivocal will be acknowledged. Bruised and bleeding hearts oan only be healed by the kind hand of time and friendly sympathy. It is grateful. however, to remember, even in our dennon* m tion, that " earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot he&l." May He, who alone can heal, bind up the brokenhearted ones who mourn a loved one gone. Noble, generous and brave, we lament our brother's (loath, but consoled by the thought, that " 'tis sweet to die for one's country," at the poet of duty, defending her social honor, like the undaunted patriot who dies, " With his back to the field and his feet to tbo foe? And leaving in battle no blot on his name, Look proudly to Heaven from the death-bed (of fame." Hardecville, May 10, 1862. W. Mr. Editor: Please announce Capt. IX D.
