The ^Confederates Lad over taken the l|e d?ifia, having had the inside of the track. About 5? o'c'ock A. M., Saturday Uti, picket firing commenced, when Gea. Butler put his Brigade, of which our Regiment formed a part, into -tho %hs, <Ji*. mounted". The battle opened with mnieh spirit by both armies, in a wood of thick undergrowth of chincpepin.

I several hundred yards in our rear, to j endeavor to dislodge them, li I do j not mistake, Col. Lipscomb told me that before this gun could be unlim bered, 3 of the mules attached to it were killed, and the 4th had its tail shot oft'. Several men too were killed and wounded. A second gun was ordered np, and its color bearer was instantly killed. Finally a gun from Hart's celebrated battery fired a shrapnell into the barn which set it on fire.. When smoke began to issue from this building, a triumphant shout proceeded lrora our line, and we were greatly relieved for a time. But Gen. Sheridan seemed determin ed to rout us, and made aa many aa seven charges on our line, the last and most desperate a little before dark. Ge?. Butler expecting hia last would be his greatest effort, had his gans double-shotted with grape and canister, which tb ey oould not with stand. Soon after this, we could hear the enemy's wagons and artil lery in retreat, and they began too to tear op the Railroad track. The saddest part of thia fierce bat tie remains yet to be told. The killed ?rat: E. E. Padgett, then W. B Brooks ; two more modeat, gentle manly boya, for boys they were, eould not be found, and the points at which they fell attest tiieir courage.

Cogburn were missing. The casualties in Company B ware 31, more than half that were engaged. Immediately alter the battle was over, we were visited by Gen. Butler, who complimented us on the spot for our determined stand. The writer asked the General if the evening seemed long to bim. He said : " I never did want to see night come so bad " To us it seemed almost ao age. Lieut. Bauskett .commanded Company B, in this day's engage ment ; and Col.

Let e man ask himself thia question think of it quietly and seriousl his own mind, without the aid of thing that has been written or on the subject. It is our aim to what we require at the lowest p and to sell what we have to part at the highest price. This buying selfing constitutes trade, and tha may do it to the greatest ad van there must be no restrictions OL actione. In o her words, we mut free to trade where we. choose hence the term Free Trade. The Aiken Journal and Rt mentions as an instance of honor assignment, the case of Mr. Geo. E.

An Act providing the manner in which joint debtors^ may separately . compound their indebtedness : SECTION 1. That any joint debtor may make a separate composition j with his creditor as prescribed in thia section. Such a composition i shall discharge the debtor making it, and him only. The creditor must execute to the compounding debtor a relearn of the indebtedness or other ; instrument exonerating him there from. A member of a partnership cannot thus compound for a paitner ship debt until the partnership has been dissolved by mutual consent or otherwise. In that case the instru ment must release or exonerate him from all liability incurred by reason of his connection with the partner ship. An instrument specified in thi8 Act shall not impair a creditor's right of action against any other joint debtor or hi? right to take any other proceding against the latter, unless an interest to release or exonerate him appears affirmatively upon the face thereof. 'SEC. 2. An instrument specified in the last section shall be deemed a satisfaction piece for the purpose of satisfying any judgment recovered upon an indebtedness released or dis charged thereby, as the judgment effects the compounding debtor When a judgment is satisfied tnereby a speeial entry must be made upon the judgment Toll to the effect that the judgment ?3 eati?fied ns to the compounding debtor only. SEC 3. Where a joint debtor ha? thus compounded, a joint debtor who has not compounded may make any defence or counter-claim, or have any other relief as against the creditor to which he would have been entitled if the composition had sot been made. He may require the compounding debtor to contribute his ratable pro portion of the joint debt or of the partnership debts as the case may be, as if the latter had not been discharged, and the debtor who has not compound ed with bia creditor may set up by way of discount against auch creditor the amount compounded by his joint debtor.

The Br i tis!}, colonies, scattered through the length and breadth of our land, are astonishing ly numerous. One prosperous and cultured youhg Englishman from the neighborhood of Sioux City, Ia , told me that there were. 600 Britons in hie "colony.": Nearly all of them bad found a solid gain incoming to America, and they'' even considered the, 'Jong "abd co?? winters lat the Northwest as trifles when .compareJ with the tremenda*?, outlays of oapi. tal which farmers 'Baye' to make in England in order ttr'sticceed. I heard one young man, who had just re turned from Montana, where he was engage ' in raising horses, say that the gi eat attraction of the "State?" to Englishmen waa the facility with which business fa transacted. It coate as much to transfer an acre of land in England from one ownership to another as it does to buy a farm "out West." These are truths which are rapidly becoming familiar to the British mind, and the result will be enormous exodus toward Amer ca. I noticed in the cases of many young Englishmen who have been two or three years among us that they had really adopted all our mannerisms cf speech, and bad entirely divested themselves of their insular slowness. But they still continue to get their clothes, guns, dogs and much of their farming gear "out" from the old conntry, largely, they say, as a matter of eeocomy.
