KP' ^ ~ Jf * What Grant has Done. When tiie telegram anuouueing tli battle at Spotsylvania Court House wa received in Vaukcedotn, Lincoln callc 'in tlie whole populatiou to join in praye un-J thanksgiving; members of Cougres "rose from their seats and cheered voci ferously; the population of all the larg cities were mad with joy; Governor Sey mour fired one hundred guns, and th ^ho!e Yankee r; c: kicked up a fuss almos '-3 ???o fKof utliii.h flu* Vpt US fJiuuigiuua as uiui n.uvu v..%, Yorkers raised over Tommy and tli Japanese. We have had the curiosity t examine into the grounds'of all this re Joiciug, a nd the result is as follows: Ou the 4th May, Grant crosse I th river with 140,000 men. On the 5tl and Gtb he attacked Gen. Lee's lines nea Verdiersville, aud was on both ocasioo repulsed with enormous slaughter, Fiud jug he could gain nothing by au attack ii front, he inclined to the right, in orde "te flunk Gen. Lee, and the lines runuim North-west and South-east, this move ?nent by his right of course brought hin nearer to Kichtuoud. Geu. Lee inovei ou the parcllel line to intercept him, am sucecded completely. On Saturday, th 7th, Sunday, the 8th, and Monday, th 9th, Grant made repeated and furious as sxuks upon Lee's lines, and was ever time repulsed with prodigious slaughter without having made the slightest im pression upon them. A teach repulse h continued to incline to the left, hoping t< steal off from Lee and get possession o the railroad before that general becatn aware of his design. Up to the night o Monday, 9th, the Washington Chronicle Lincoln's oriran stated that his loss ii killed, wounded and missing had beci i>5,000 men. l*p to the same time, tin arwy correspondent of the Now Void 11 rohl estimated his losses at 27,00( killed, wounded and prisoners, besides ; prodigious number of stragglers. Whet it is considerel that he was, in all hi vipcratious, attacking fortifications, am that lie did it in heavy columns then vauuot be a doubt that both these cati mates are far short of the truth. Oi Tuesday, 10th, another battlcof the .sum ( description was fought. WeJnsday wai a fjuiet day. Thursday, the 12th at -1 o'clock in tin morning, an overwhelming forceattaekei Gen. Kdward Johnson's division, whicl seems to have occupied an advanced worl detached from the other works, and oi of supporting distance. They capture*, the works and took ahout 1,500 prisoners which, Yankee-like, they magnified iut< 4,000. They took, also, eighteen oi twenty-pieces of caution. Our troopi charged them and retook the eauuon, bui were unable to bring them off. Tin Yankees carried them away afterward; in the night. Having carried this work they then came on upon the body of nut entrenchments. Here they met witli the most terrible slaughter ever seen or this continent. They advanced in heavj columns, ten deep, and our troop*, wait io<r f.n- thorn behind their breastworks c shot them down with the most pcrfec deliberation. The carnage continued for hours, Grant continually ordering uj fresh troops as fast, as those already en gaged were slaughtered. At 2 o'clock he gave it up, and retired, leaving tin ground covered with an enormous niasi -uf Yankees?dead, dying or de.?pcrate!i wounded. The correspondent of tlx New York I/cnthf estimates Grant's lost on this occasion at from 1S,000 to25,00( men. Gen. Lee, who always undei estimate- the enemy's loss, thinks, so wt understand, that it was at least 20,000 It must be obvious to any man who wil reflect upon circumstances that it was greatly above cither of these. The Yankee papers tixms-.lvcs sa\ that up to Fridy, the 12th, lie had al ready lost at least 7-0.000 men?that i: to say, more than half his original army -Our own impression is, that lie has nol lost oue man uuder GO,O00. All tlx prisoners taken on Thursday were drunk some of them so much so that they could not reload their guns after they had fired them. Grant made the poor wretches drunk, and then goaded them on to des tructioo. Our fire was so terrible thai some of them who had approached near est our bres!works threw down their arms, climbed over the works and beg gcd for mercy. Notwithstanding all this Grant and Meade boasted that they had gained a great victory! That they lied is obvious, for on the next Wednesday Grant, wishing to attack our works, was obliged to beat up for voluuteers, and these voluuteers could not be brought nearer than 200 yards of our lines, where stood our troops, jeering and insulting, them, and daring them to come on Thoir spirits had evidently been coin pletely broken. Graut boasted that h< meant to fight it out oil that line if il took him all the summer. Meade, wher Lee had abandoned his poition at Spots ylvania Court House in cousequcnce ol itlic enemy's having abandoned his boasted tliaT Grant had driven Lee's wain the rear of Graut the whole time. Grant endeavors to console himself foi ' his unheard of losses by saying that oui bosses are still heavier. Gen Lee has .received the roports of all his general: up to the 13th. llis entire loss?kill ?i,wounded, and missing?can be cover ed by a figure not exceeding 14,000 <Grant has lost five to his oue, and th< . inequality orginally existing has ahnos been overcome. Grant thanks God for his failures Uc has much to be thankful for.?Rich nnond DiqxUch - + An Knflisli Sailor latelv took hi ? o " " . " child to be christened, and happening to hold it on the wrong arm for thi clergyman to take it, was asked to '-tun the child," upon which he turned it fac< downward. "No, no," said the parson "turn it my good man," when he turn cd it face uppermost, as before. In thi dilemma an old post captain sitting ii the gallery came to the rescue, and sun; out, "End for end, Jack." "Ay, aj sir," said the sailor, and pitched his so: and heir over on the other arm. The Work for the Plough, e The overturning of a large portion of s the most productive territory of (Jeord gia and Virginia by the Yankee armies, r says tic Coluu.b ts Enquirer, increases s greatly the deiuaud made upon the agrii culturists of the uuiuvaded regions for e provisions. Not only have many thousands of refugees from the iulancd dise tricts sought security and sustenauee furt thcr south, but the invasion must have v the effect of destroying the crop prose pects of the region overrun generally, o The crops uiay|alwo6t as well have been J never planted as the working of them j neglected at this particular time. Even e ! should the refugees and their negroes 1) \ and stock be enabled soon to return to j r their homes?which we confidently trust , s is to bo the ease?their crop prospects - for the year will have been destroyed, a and they will still be dependent upon r | their more fortunate countrymen in g ' neighborhoods that have been possessed by the foot of the invader, for food. It ? | is the sacred duty of the latter lo supJ ply the want to the utmo>t extent of 1 their ability. Tbc cause, in support of I e which the exile and refugee has suffered, i e is the common cause. To permit the peo! pie of the invaded regious to he subdued y by destitution would be not only a re , ercancy to duty and humanity on ttic j . i part of the more secure regions of the ! c | Confederacy, hut would he as bad for ; 0 | our cause as their subjugation by Van- : f kce j ower. Tbcy are auxiliaries who j c must be sustaie<\ They are countrymen f j and brcthreen, to redress whose wrongs , and alleviate whose sufferings isatioblig- > 1 atioo that cannot be disregrded with- j i out perlidy arid inhumanity. b | It is not yet too late to plant corn, i potatoes, and other serials and pulse ) crops that will both answer for breadi stuffs and make meat. The firmer is j i j urgently called upon to do his whole j s duty to his country and countrymen. ; 1 He can only discharge it by iudustrij ously applying his whole f'<rcc and his , utmost exertion to the production of 1 food for the army and for the section of j 2 country that ha\e been rendered unab'e, i 5 by the sail vicissitudes of war. to pro- ; j ducc food for their own people. If they 2 fail to do this, the anticipated victories of! ] our armies will be robbed ?f their cfi fieacy and benefits; but if they now act j well their parts, they will have the honor ] and the reward that must attend the | triumph and the peace of their coun' ,ry' > i r The Petersburg Express mentions the s following curious incidents in the battle t, of Thursday, 12th, near Spotsylvania ; C. H : s Iu the light last Thursday Mahonc's brigade* for the tiist time during the r war, was engaged iu a most s pirited i hand to hand contest with a brigade of i the enemy, and amidst the cracking of I fire arms,the falling of generals and the . hotile commingling of the rebels and Yankees, many a scene was enacted, t which divested of its terrors, would have [ beeu hidicrous, for here and there a man > would suddenly find hinsclf master of . sonic half dozen prisoners, as suddenly find himself a prisoner only to be , released again iu a few seconds by other ? rebels; privates would be seen seizing I . ' officers, and oflhers privates, hurling 3 them to the rear. One of our officers j ; finding himself collared by a Yankee ) Captain, suddenly gave the Captain such r a lick across his head wi;h his sword, as , to cause his owu immediate release, while numerous empty guns placed in apparent ] dangerous contact to Yankee breasts, , caused many of them to rjuiekly throw down their own weapons and march to . the rear. One of the ambulance corps . of the 12th, with a gun snatched .from . the ground that would not fire, captured ' some ten prisoners and a beautiful stand ' t' of colors belonging to the 51st lVnn, ,; regiment: while another of the same ' corps, with a stretcher upon his shunlj der, also broujht in several prisoners. I j Some six hundred or more prisoners : were taken during the brief conflict, . while the Yankees did not capture more ? ! than a dozen duriug the saruo time. bl !L ' ! The Nigger Troops. From the correspondence of the Augusta Constitutionalist we clip tiie follow- j I ing item: In a late Yankee paper com ing to my 1 ' hands 1 find some intelligence that may j be of interest. . A great victory, or rather | succession of victories, is ofcour.sc claim " cd, and the largest type is displayed to ' air the lies of forty pieces of cannon captured; "thousands of prisoners taken," "Lee out flanked,&c. 'j It is stated that t!ie vast majority of ' wounds received by Grant's forces arc L in the body and lower limbs, "the rebels 1 , firing unusually low on the occasion," a " , fine proof, by the bye, coming from ati enemy, of the coolness of our men. "Rich- j I mond," it said, "will surely be reached 5 by the 4th of July. What a fearful ju ice it would cost! It would be a terrible ; ^ triumph. Grant could say, like the G reck i _ I General l'yrrbus, "another such victory, j ' and I am undone." Ruruside's niggers j 1 arc highly complimented by numbers of 1 * i Yankee correspondents, one of whom says ui uur pn&uucid, it was uumaui^ iu uuui j the negroes inquire jestingly: "How is " you, boss, mighty good ting we didn't : | cotch you; wc would never tuck you prisoners!*' The prisoners became in' furiated, and begged to have their.will of the negroes five minutes, "llcmeuibcr . Fort Pillow, ''the negroes would urge; "we'll cut your black throats," was the j s threat of the others. Thus the two races j reviled each other. The master was , prisoner; the bondman free and a soldier. c From the fact that live columns ot tnc > precious sheet, the Norfolk New llcgirae, are filled up with sentcuces of court mars tial for desertion, I apprehend the deQ fenders of the old flag are far from being S steadfast to their colors- The death pen-> ; ally is meted out unsparingly to the white u j soldiers, while the nigger* are generally ^set to Lard labor,etc. * Funeral of Gen. Stuart. The fnueral of the brave and much lamented Gen. Stewart, took place on Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock, frotu St. James' Church, corner of Marshall and Fifth streets. The coffin was placed in the centre aisle before the altar. Wreaths and a cross of evergreens, with laurel, lilies of the valley and other flowers of pure white decked the hero's coffin. The pall bcreers were Gen. Bragg, i Maj. Gen. McGowan, Gen. Chilton, Brig. Gen. Lawton, Commodore Forrest, i Capt. Lee of the Navy, and (Jen. Geo. W. : Kandolph, formlcrly of War. i . 1'resident Davis sat near the coffin i with a look of grief upon his careworn < face. His Cabinet and the members of < Congress were also present. After the i funeral service by the Kev. Dr. l'etcrs f kin, -the body was conveyed to Holly weed Cemetery followed by a lo?g train of car- I riages. Xo niillitary escort accompanied 1 the procession, but the hero was laid in 1 his last resting place, while the earth ' trembled with the roar of artillery, of the I contending armies.

The Enqn'rer suggests that, for the . better defence of Richmond, all the streets bo barricaded with tobacco now stored in Richmond, and that all the houses near the barricades be lo"pholcd for their protection and defence, on the plan adopted by the enemy in Raltimorc, last year, when Stuart with his cavalry was threatening that city. The En qui- . 1 1.. . rtcr auus ; ^ Richmond is to bo defended to t!ic ^ very last; her people arc ready and willing to answer any calls from the author- j ities, but every means of defence should be used. The labor and material arc here that may be required to effectually bar- j ricadc every outlet. It is unknown how long the enemy may be around the city, or at what part they may attempt to en- * ter. Their cavalry, yesterday defeated ^ by Stuart, may to day rally, and rein- ( forced, turn the tide of victory, and seek to gallop into the city and through it to their army at Rermuda Hundreds. liar- ^ ricaded streets will check their progress, j even should thev force any l?ost of tfoe , outer defences. The precaution now suggested may never be required, but the terrible disaster it may prevent surely should commend it to the attention of the Engineer Department of the city defences. It becomes the authorities to adopt every means in their power. The defence of Richmond, must, if necessary, equal that of Derry or Saragossa. Our Gun Boats. A correspondent of the Augusta Constitutional is t says: Within the past few weeks it would appear that the spell of Yankee naval superiority has been effectually broken upon our inland waters they seeming to suffer as frequent reverses 011 that element as their armies have done on terra firma.

There is all account of a gentleman vho had been married to four wives, and vho lived to be 115 years old. When ic died he left 23 "children" alive and veil, some of the said childrenj being rum three to four score,. A gentleman died at llurdeaux, in i772, who had been married sixteen iuics !
