he w ho had never before, during the peudcuce of a
war of three years' duration, heard ''bullets whis

duct of an ollicer whoso character whatever be
his capacity as a leader has ever been above sus-pici-m
as regards his courage and devoted patriot

prcsi'd liy our ai my that they have no chance to
('..rage on our people, and arc pressed for provis

were driven through that county by our forces at a
furious rate under whip ami pur, and that thu
road altig the mule is lined with the dead horncs
that were killed by over exertion.
Tuexlay our lorces attacked loo enemy near Sa

I Oil Tisoncrs and several w agons. The enemy
havu destroyed tunny of their caissons and wagons,
to prevent their falling into our hands. It is re
ported that iw have again overtaken tho enemy to
day, near I'ineastlo.
Hue hundred and llttrly moro ol Sheridan's raid

property in his advance, anil stole, a large, number
of hor-cs and cattle.

Ilranl's line extends from the J.tinei river across
Ihe Ap nitlox to the neighh.iliood of Ihe railroad
this side of Petersburg o few miles.
Un Wednesday and Wedne.T.lay night, there was

eight pieces of artillery and arrived in the oil v.
l-'ivo hundred more prisoners worn taken on Thurs
day niirht in a desperate fight which took place on
the railroad, the enemy's extreme left, this side of
Petersburg. Here Ihe Yankees were driven back,
and on Friday nloruiiig, when Lieut, llokc passed
iuir (he battle Held, the enemy's lef! was within
about half a mile of the road, and lighting was go
ing on along tho wliolu line.
(Jen. I.eo was in Petersburg ami directed the npe
mtiuns of the entire army and tho citizens, officers
and solciers were cool, conlident, sanguine and itc
teriiiiiicd. I, lent. II. assures us that no fears of a
defeat were felt by any one, and that tho army was
never in better spirits or moro sanguine.
In the light on Wednesday, some siege guns that
had been planted by tho eueiny near Ihecily were
disin. Hinted, and but few shells were thrown into the
city during l.ieut. Hoke's stay. The heroic people
of Pefer.-burg he represent as perfectly sanguine of
a victory over the Yankees.
Sn:Ai;i;i.iN; To tiik I'ltoNT. A re ma vk nl, lo inci
dent occurred on Friday, and a charge was mad '
to recover our works captured near Petersburg,
Ya., by the enemy. The line of battle was formed
and the charge ordered, but afterwards delay being
coiishlerrd desirable, it was countermanded. Tho
countermand reached only a part of the troops.
The rest accordingly moved forward. ThoTu.x
aiis of Fields' division were among thono that were
lrdleil; hut seeing the other purl of Ihe lino move
on, they become restless, and finally impracticable,
lly ones, and twos, and s.piuds, they hroko ranks
and went forward. The contagion spread, until
soon the whole command, olbeers and all, took up
the well known yell, and rn.-hed on like a storm.
The works were every wlioio carried, and what is
extremely gratifying, with hut little loss. (ien. I.ee
is reported to have remarked, that he had known of
men straggling to the rear, but he never before
heard of their straggling to the front. .s'or. AV.

and torture especially the cowardly practice of
bullying, frightening and stripping bare Ihe unfor

wllhin their liiii'io-nll Hiu-e Uroi dhis proi-n not
strength but weakness, iio( the haughly predoini
naueo of eoniiioriujj armies, but the hitter rage
and spile of a foe who feels that his gain" is iica--ly
up, that his fabulous pro. Iigality of in.-n mid
means, of hi I and Irca-uio, is never lo be repaid
in ''us world.
The brutality our enemies have shown in their
Irealineiit of women is, ahoie all, h,.ih character
istic of Ihcir uuliou and iniYicnlive of (heir souse
that all is over with the "war for ihu Union. ; Let
us recall two lale examples of this. A few days
ago was recorded the case of poor Mrs. Corry. near
liclhesda Church, who, alter her place was Mrippcd
of every means of suhsislcneo, went to the rullian
w ho eall-Jhiinself lleneral Warren, soliciting per
mis-ion to buy a lillle portion of her own plun
dcrcl stoics lo feed her two sick and starving ehil-
licii. "We keep nothing for sale,'' replied Ihe
licncral. "T hen," said the half frantic woman
"1 will beg: give me, for (toil's .sake, a meal of meat
for my sick children." "Madam," replied this
"(ieneral," "we read that during the siege of Jeru
salcni women were reduced to eat their children."
This scene we have verilied. It is hue; and Ihe
man who said I hose base and coward words c.iiu
in. in. Is a corps of (ho army now thundering at our
gales. Another example: a 'Afonian.a Yirgiuia wo
man, uiolher of Conlodoriilo sons, finding herself
all abmu within the yankee lines, obtained un
interview with liciieial liraut, and solicited a puss
to eomo (o Kichinond lo hrrl'iiends for safely.
"Vim are bctler where you are," was ll,e Visitor.
"When 1 enter Kichmou.I woman's cons will not
be safe."
Il is good for n to hear, to think over, lo lay lo
heart, incidents like theso; they fortifiy us with all
the strength of holy horror, from sacred rage. They
make us feel that between us and thai yaiikue na
tion there is a gulf fixed; and that, whatever be
tide, we and they are two nalious now and forever
niore. Yet there is people eallinsr. themselves Confeder
ates, eoniforlabie citizens, who have never seen any
of the real horror of war, who have never lost a
night's sleep, nor a meal's meal in all these 'lireo
years of struggle, yet who complain of privation,
of high prices, of the difficulty of procuring Ihe
line fabrics or rich wme they have been accustom
ed to ; and who wish this cruel war was over, that
they may replenish their cellars with French wines
ami go to Newport for the summer, Lxainples of
such species of Confederates are perhaps rare ; yet
a respected clergyman of this city, in an eloipient
seriiion yesterday, preaching on tho text, "Is not
the life iiiiiio than meat, anil tho hotly more than
raiment ?" did think il. his duty to rebuke sternly
thosu who, living at lioine at ease, have yet the im
pudunoii Ui euuipUiu of thu luivutiuui to which uc
Indignantly lie held up to llietu tho example of
our good und gallant soldiers, thousands of whom
were used to sleep soft and to feast high, but now
lor three long years' bivouac in tho mud and munch
llio coarsest furu coiitenliidly, because they know
they must do this or sink into serfs and slaves; be
cause they understand that if the enemy come in
they will never Tigiiiu live in homes of their own,
nor lead their own lives in their own way, nor gov
ern their own households, nor call their very souls
their own; and because they understand that Ihe
life is mure than meat and Ihe body is more than
raiment. Can it indeed bo needful, at this day,
wilh such an enemy al our door, to inculcate inch
a lesson, and to prove to persons of luxurious life,
but grovelling spirit, that it is heller to deny them
selves for a season some extravagant lu.xurieu than
to admit masters and owners who will rule them
and their children with a rod of iron unto the third
and fourth generation. llii hrnuml Examiner.

A I'leanant Trip.
M'e speni yesterday vei;v pleasantly visiting the
llalh Paper Mill, and the works of the Southern
Porcelain Manufacturing Company.
The ilatli Mill is being pressed forward lo eom
ple'ion as rapidly as possible, under existing cir
cumstances, by Mr. W. H. Huso, Ihe courteous
and untiring agent, and will, when completed, be
tho largest, and best arranged Paper Mill in Ihe
Confederacy. Mr. Huso has had many difficul
ties to conlend against in pulling forward Ihe work
thus far, which nothing but indomitable will and
persei eranee could have overcome. ll is now
nearly eouiplete'd, and we hope soon to have the
pleasure of aiiiuyuneing it in successful operation.
The Porcelain works arc now under a new cyi'iic,
Col. llulloek as President, and our friend li. W.
Kimball, Ksip; lale of Ihe Kxpress Company, Su
perintendent names that are a sure guarantee for
energy .and dash in all mailers of business. Theso
were thu otilv works of Ihe kind in the Confedera
cy at Ihe coniinenceinent of the war, and have I
been of great benefit to the country, supplying an
iiidi-'peusable want.
Tl ey are manufacturing a good article of Kaolin
ware, udoptctl lo all household Wauls, such as
pitchers, bowls, plates, cups and saucers, etc., and
aro also making excellent lire brick. Their wares
tiro kept for sale next dooi to our office, and wo
advise those in want to call and examine them.
After spending a pleasant hour or s at the Por
celain Works, and imbibing sumo very line "spring
water," we returned home, much refreshed hy the
trip, tho agreability of which was greatly enhanced
by Ihe hospitality of our old and esteemed friend
Hickman, formerly of the South (.'arulina Hailrouil.

The Value and I'scs nl' VegetaliUs,
To the sick, wounded, and particularly the con
valescent, a vegetable diet ia most healthful and
desirable, and Ihe abundance of the supply ought !
to secure it as daily food. I think none will deny I
that one-loiirih ol ti pound ol hacon, cooked as it
ought to be and can be, wilh lifty cents worth of
vegetables, will go much further than a pound of
bacon and bo much more healthy. Tho fourth of
a pound of bacon will cost eighty-two cents ; the
vegetaiiles collards, cabbages, .suashcs, heels,
cucumbers, onions, shallots, ,'rish potatoes, Ac,
say fifty cents, making tho sum for a meal for two
hearty men 1 ilO. cooked alone, a half pound of
luicoii is the usual allowance tor one man, and 1
costs $1 til. llesides, then, its more healthful and f
acceptable character, two ir.tu can be dined upon j
eighty-two cents, whilo the exclusive bacon ration .
for one u an costs 51 CI.
llow important both to the sick and to the gov
ernment, if thesa suggestions bo well based that
the attention of hospital superinteudeuts and stew-
ar.ls he directed to them.
Not only can tho sick and wounded soldiers bo
much better and cheaper fed, but so can the gov
eminent laborers, both white and black, fur never
was any market so well and abundantly supplied
with vegetables, and at prices greatly cheaper than
anything else is sold. (.'oiiiintii A'ny.
