December 22, 18C3 tepd To the Voters of Union County, Fellow Cithens: I am a candidate for your su frages at the next ensuing election for Sheriff in the County of Union. My connection with the army, how ever, has for some months removed me from that fami liar intercourse with you that would generally be de sirable. But, trusting that I may have a due allow ance for this seeming inconvenience, with a viewr to repeated expressions of a desire that I should become a candidate, I have consented to do so though under vastly different circumstances from those which sur rounded us four years ago. Many of you have realized the hardships of -war and the dangers of battle ; but without recalling the past, let us look hopefully to the future, and permit me, in grateful acknowledgements of the favors I received at your hands then, with many others previous to that lime, U ask your cordial sup port now. If elected, I will use what industry and ability I possess to fulfill the obligations of the office iu such a manner as, I hope, may ever be satisfactory to j'ou. On the contrary, if 1 am not elected, I shall consider that you have done me no wrong and that I hsvc no right to criticise because your suffrages are against me. But I am fully sensible of the distinction conferred, by being elected to the position for which I am a candidate, and shall be as proud to receive your votes as I shall ever be earnest and faithful to prove myself worthy of the responsible trust, imposed by the same. And, in conclusion, allow me to hope you will remember your friend, and on the day of election a ticket for the same. W. If. COLLINS, Co." A, 4th X. C. Cavalry, March 28, 1864 pd Gordon's Brigade.

Mail Failures. The Eastem mails have failed, several times, to anure from Salisbury, in consequence, we. learn, of the neglect of a worth less contractor, in that place, . to deliver them to the trains in time. This is an outrage that ought not to be longer endured; and the worthless con tractor should be conscribed into the army, with out delay, and sent where he can neither -get liq uor, nor impose upon the public by his careless-nef-s. The whole of Western North Carolina is interested in a regular transmission of the mails, and to be thus trifled with by a man, who has ob tained a mail contract to keep his carcass out of the army, is past all 'endurance. SU'tntiHe Ex press Delinquent contractors ought to be promptly reported to the Department. Many persons took ; contracts merely for the purpose of avoiding ruili- j I tary duty, and at such low figures as will not feed t j fhem for a week. They ought to be made to per- ' I form their contract to the fullest extent. If they . j dont get pay enough it is their own fault they must abide by their contract.

LEE ON THE AFIELD- It has already been stated that at one time dur ing the Battle of the Wilderness on the 6th of May, the fortunes of the day seciiftd to be going against our army, when Gen. Lee determined to take command of a 'TJrigade and lead the charge in person. A correspondent of the London Her ald, in one of the best written accounts of the bat tle wc, have seen, describes tire conduct of Gen. Lee on that oecasiou as follows: " "So alarming had been the aspect of the field at one time that, fearing for tho constancy of his troops, General Lee had, as Fields' division camj under fire, placc.d himself at the head of Gregg's brigade of Texans. Ordering them, in that devo tion which constitutes the .great charm for-his character, to follow him in a charge upon the triumphant line that came sweeping .down upon him over the debris of Heth's and Wilcox' divis ions, Longstrcet protested against such an ex posure of a life so valuable. A grim aud ragged soldier of the lino raised his voice m determined rcmonsUnce; and was "immediately followed by the rank and tile ol the whole brigade in positive refusal to advance until their beloved general in chief had gone to his proper position in tho rear. Yieldiug to their touching solicitude, and thus terminating one of the most remarkable incidents in war, Gen. Lee rctirrd, and well did Gregg's gallant fellows fuiiiil tho promise with which they urged his withdrawal, by rushing forward, through a tempest of bullets, with fury which nothing could withstand. All the ground that had been lost was recovered, the enemy, driven, routed, iuto his entrenchments, the Confederate lines advanced threateningly so far as to be 111 him closely in; und thus, almost hopeless- as its fortunes at one lime appeared to be, tbe second day of (he bittle-of the Wilderness terminated arouud the Southern Cros of the light wing iu bloody tiiumph. General Lee, id attempting to lead Gregg's Texans into tho jaws of death, has given history a I striking proof ot the attachment of hia troops to ' his person, 'ihe- world did not, however, want I 1 r l: .. ,1 .:. 1 1 n 1 V ' J i fail to pronounce judgcn.ent againu bit course on tnnt rir-r-neioti ae rittf nr r:ih4. nj( Ills. enonr ' .

LEE'S ARMY. Correspondence of tbe Ulchroond Enquirer. Army Northern Virginia, May 29th, 1861 Having been on the march for a night and two days, opportunities to write have been limited. It no secret that Giant ha made hid third chango of base, which has necessitated a corresponding movement 6n our own part; ahd both armies again confront each other in tho vicinity of the memo rable scenes of 1862. " It became apparent, Thursday night, that the Yankees did oof intend to'givo battle on the lino of tho North A tin a, and that thev were moving to our left and down that river. "v .Thia itBpreasiob was confirmed" by the sharp skirmishing in front of onr centre the ruc hight with the evident de sign to feel our lines, which was repeated earlr j Frid; j the n j put i ny morning, whilo their army was already on mi move. I no order was given ana our army wm mtt in mntinn nrromlod hi- I bo trnrmn trnina ar.if ! having7 the "inside track, purnued its way lei j surely until it nrrked ut its present poaittoo An 1 dereon's division brint'inir tin the rear. The inarch was undisturbed by any unusual incident, and the troops, whose her"ie fortitude is as im pressively exhibited in their endnranco of hard ship as ih the fearlessness with which they brave death on the battle-field, bore it uncomplainingly and cheerfully, I'verything gives "dreadful note of preparation" for another bloody conflict, and the proximity of the two hontile armies warns ua that a collision may now occur at auy dar, unfoVa Grant, not liking the situation, should decide to make slill another change of base. About 12 o'cloclc yesterday a rore catnlry fight occurred near llawca bhop, between detach ments of several brigades oi Fitzhugh Lc'a and Hampton's divisions and a corps of Yankee caval ry, supported by a large body of infantry, estima ted at two corps. The enemy were guarding the road leading from that point to (be Peninsula. Their cavalry were dismounted during the fight, and commenced firing on us at a jdistanee. Both parties advanced, and the enemy repaetedly charg ed our line and were handsomely repulsed in every efTort. Their centre was driven in, or fell back, and being in imminent danger of being surroun ded on both flanks by tbe largely superior and ' combined forces of both cavalry and infantry, wo were compelled to retire a short distance to avoid it the- enemy's artillery playing on our rank continuously. The musketry was very heavy, and as incessant for a time as the volleys' between in fintry in regular line of t attle. ' The loes on bolh sides w.is heavy and a few prisoners taken. Among the casualties were Colonel Millen, of Georgia, killed, und Colonel Duuoavant, of South Carolina, wounded by a pistol shot through the left hand. Must of our loss is attributed to tho fart that near ly all the force engaged on our part weic new men, whot-e only idea was to go in nnd fight, which they did nfost gullantly aftd creditably. The fight continued at intervals until neatly fivo o'clock P. M., without decisive result, eavo tho ascertaining of tbe enemy's position and strength on that part of his lines. The youthful and dushing General Young, of Georgia, has been temporarily assigned to the command of tho brigade of North Carolina caval ry of General Gordon, wounded in the latfi fight below Richmond The first ration of tobacco, under the act of Con gress was issued to the army on Friday. Double rations of bacou bave been issued for several day, with tho addition of Irinh potatoes, which is re ceived by the troops as nn evidence of the ability of the government to feed them, as well as another indication of the interest manifested for their health and comfurt. .

His captain gave him a furlough for a few days, when he determined to capture a horse from the enemy, and started for the Big Black. He got a negro to take, him across tbo river in a skiff, where he concealed himself until an opportunity offered, when he'tnounted .a fine Yankee horse, swam hira aer.ss the river, and made his way into our lines.
