(,>ur last account represented the column of tho
enemy that had been repulsed ou the Brooke Turn
pike, as having crossed the Ohickahominy iu full
retreat, and havitig encamped on Tuesday night
near Meohanicsville. They were there attacked
in eaiupby Gen. Hampton, who put them to*flight,
with the capture of 70 or S', and a larger number
of horses. The remainder yesterday made their
way down towards Piping Tree Ferry on the
Famunkey.
The column that appeared on the road that
comes into the city tiom the West, lost no timo

yesterday they cros.sed the Chiukahon.iny, and at
half-past four in the afternoon found themselves
confronted at the Old Church by a small body ot
Col. Bradley T. Johnson’s Maryland Cavalry
1’he Yankees, in desperation, jjhargod through
by mere weight ol numbers; with a loss of several
killed and wounded, and about 30 prisoners re-

way towards the Piping Tree Ferry. V^e had

pretty well hackled by our forces, having lost,-'
probably, at least one-tenth of his torce in killed

the Brooke Turnpike column to attract our whole
force, and leave the river side column to make a
dash at Belle Island, and liberate the yankee
prisoners there. They have failed in everything,
except some temporary damage to our railroads,
the burning ot some barns and mills, the seizure
of some horses, the hanging of one negro, and the

have obtained some particulars of the skirmish
with the enemy lo which we referred on yester
day, on the Plank Hoad, about six miles West of
Richmond, on Tuesday evening. Ths trooj)s en
gaged on our side were oomposed wholly of our
city organiaations, who, on this occasion, had
their first encounter with the enemy. The forces
of the latter were about .500 picked men, of 5
regiments of Gregg’s cavalry, with 2 pieces of
artillery.
The Tredegar Battalion was the first to come
into collision with the enemy. As the battalion
was ascending the hill which descends from Benj.
Green’s house, the yankees, who were coming
over it, suddenly appeared close at hand. The
meeting found our men unprepared for it,^any
guns being unloaded. The enemy deojoyed under
the shelter of a wood, and our men got into such
line as they could in the open field. Volleys
were exchanged, from which the yankees suffered
most, and were made to give ground. They sub-

The entire force of the enemy was commanded
by Major Gen’l Gilmore; that on the lield was
under the immediate command of M^ijor General
Seymour, who was a Captain under Maj Ander
son, at the time he surrenderei Fort Huinter to
Gen. Beauregard.
Voui- correspondent participated iu the battles
around R»ehmoud, aiidnpou the Peninsula, as he
did in this, and is prepared to aver, that ho never
witnessed a more stubbornly contested tield, and
in this opinion he is confirmed by the testimony
of veteran soldiers, whose exploits heretofore have
been the admiration .>t their countrymen, and
have given a name and tame to viouthern prowess
and valor
When within a proper distance ol the enemy,
our artillery, under Col R. B Thomas, opened a
heavy and determint'd tire u|Mjn them The ar
tillery ol the efseniy responded briskly, but with
little eHect compared to that of ours Very soon
aft;r the eouimenocment ot the artillery duel,
heavy volleys of musketry were pouied into the
enemy's line.s by o.ir troops, killing and ^roundint:
a large number of them \ plley attrr volley re
verberated through the air, with nought but the
yells and shrieks of our victorious heroes to re
lieve its monotony.
The engagement lasted upwards of tour hours,
during about three of which the enemy contested
inch by inch very manfully the advance of our
troops. At lenirtb largely superior numbi-rs, en
gaged in an unhol>and unrighteous crusade, are
compelled to succumb and to flee before the supe
rior prowesji and chivalry of Southern arms and
Southern hearts, 'fhe enemy was driven in con
fusion and disorder a long distance beyond the
field of carnage, leaving, in their hasty flight,.all
their killed, and nearly all their wounded

quantity of ordnance, quartermaster’s and commis

4r)0 wouaded. Talren all in all, this day will
long be remembered as one upcil whi'*h one of the
most brillant victories of the war wa» achieved.
.J Dtinnj Ya.ikct Roul—On Mond'^y night
la.st, a boat load of Vankees from one of the
blookading vessels slipped in over the main bar,
past th"* forts ajid up t» 8mithville, from which
place they carried off Capt. Kelley, of Gen. He

The thing on the face ot it, certainly looks
very strange—very strange indeed, and would at
once suggest the idea of a want of proper vigi

tured in General Hebert’s headquarters W’hefh-
er any papers, plans or drawings were captured
at the same time, we cannot as yet learn.

letter tlius:
“Believing I hat i bis airueity ha.s'been perpe

take prompt steps to ilisuvow this violatio.i of the
usages of war, and to bring the ofTenders to ji*>:
fioe, I shall refrain from executing a rebel soldier
until I learn your action in the premises ”
Major Gen Pickett replies. He says that “the
paragraph enclosed tlu;rciu is not only without
foundation in fact, bat so ridiculou.s that he should
scarcely have supposed it worthy of eonsidera
tioij.” But he docs not stop here He says:
“But I would respeetlully inform you that,
had I have euught on^ negro who had killed
eithtr odicer, soldier or citizen id the Confeder
ate Statts, I should have caused him to be im
mediately* executed”
* To Peck’s threat that he would ‘^execute a rebel
soldier” tor the negro, (ien. Pickett replies:
“I have merely to say that I have in.Hiy hands,
and subject to my order, captured in the rec'enc
operations in this departhient, some 45u officers

Jen Pickett repli-s, reminding Gen. Peek of
“the >iliijht mistake” made by him, and tells him
that, instead ot ;’>;j a.s stated in tho lint “so kindly
furnished him,” he has h Ultdrcd tnd ftcruty

to them, Gen. Pickeit says:

staff descended so low as to draw their pistols on
Miss Blackburn, who was sick. Tho conse
quence was the a^rgravation of her illness. Shg
has since died. The Federala were in the village
when she lay a corpse, and in order to make the
family more miserable they set fice to all the
houses adjacent to the one where lay the corpse.
They thus hoped to burn the dwelling; in this
they failed. They then set fire to the dwelling,
and when asked to aid in removing the corpse,
they only laughed. They damned the corpse
for being that of a rebel. She was a lady distin
guished for her Southern dovotioo, ceal and love
for our cause. Thus are trealed our friends.

The income of the Literary Fund is entirely in
Confederate Treasury notes, and the increased dis
tributions recently made were owing, in part, to
the depreciated currency to be paid over to the
Common Schools The pa-ssage of the bill at the
la.st b!ssion of the* ijegislature, authorizing the
Treasurer to pay the drafts in Confederate notes,
was, under these circumstances, an act of simple
justice.
Tho Board, to obviate the danger of drafts, to
a large amount, being kept back for presentation
at a future day, in hopes of payment of a better
currency f rom the Fund, has to-day exercised the
power of requiring all drafts to be presented with

clothed with such power by another act ol‘ Ui®

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHATHAM CO.
Court of Pleas & Quarter Sessions, Feb’y Te»-m, 1864.
The 'olloying resolutions we'e unanimously passed
at the late Term cf Chatham f ouaty Court:
Whereas: It is due to tho memorjr of any citizen who
h^s been long and faithfullv engaged in (he service of
the pubHo and has %een called henoe while so engaged,
that some expression of the sense of hia serviees should
be given in the scene of his labors, and it is alike due
to.ourselves as to tho departed, that our appreciation of
these merits should be placed on rcoorti, to the end the
eame may be perpciuated to after-terms. Therefore
Resolved, by the Magistrates of Chatham, that they
have learned with deep sensibility and profound regret
tbat G. W. Golctston and Turner Bynum, £sqs., have
oit'pfcried this life since the last Term.of this Ceurt
That these eminent oitisens of Chatham have long been
f .''soeiated with tho public biuineAs of the rountv, the
drst as the presiding Magistrate and the seeond as as
sociate Jnstioe «f the Court That in the varioai duties of
the 'tagistrates thgr have been, laborious aad indefati
gable, and their afrviee* fer many years have been
highly beaefieial te the eitixeas of the county.
Resolved, further. That the foregoing resointioma be
entered on the records of this Coart aa a tegtliaony of
their eminent pablie serviees.

luv.iiUnts from Netrbtrn.—On the anniversary
of the birth of the immortal Wa.jhington, in our
late home of N'cwbcrn, now contamiuatod by the
presence and occupancy of the invader with his
horde of wretches who pollute our homes and
despoil our property—on the 22d of February at
Newbern, these enemies, with their tory com
panions, did outrage W tho tlay, by holding a celc
bration
In that display, was a Fireman’ti parade, under
the auspices of one Captain Denny, who has a
hatchet and axe comyany of 80 men. The Times,
edited by Geo. Mills Joy, Yankee, thus notices
’the turn out:

Foster Engine co. .No. 1—fi] leen.
Holden tiook and Ladder No 1—men.
‘‘The Foster Engine was very ueaiiy and elaborately
trimmed ”
“The Holden truck, also. The apparatus was beauti-
Tully trimmed. On top of the Hi Iden truok was perch
ed a Silver Grey Fox, that was very uneasy in its posi
tion and aiiracccd much Mtenticn”
The Foster Engine is named after General
Foster—who was once saved from death at Wil
mington by the tender nursing of one of the
kindest and most excellent ladies of JJorth Caro
lina—and who recompensed the humanity after
wards by stealing the articles of furniture out of
the iiouses of the p'(H)ple ot Newbern and bestow
ing them upon his white wife and colored mis
tresses. Ttiis Engine was named in his honor—
the General once commanding the invaders at
Newbern.
Ihe Holden truck—which came next in order
\fter Foster’s, the thief’s, in this yankee proces
sion—was named in honor of Mr. William H’
Holden of Raleigh—since yesterday, candidate
lor Governor of North Carolina. The Holden
truck—of the Holden hook and ladder company
of the fire Department at Newbern. On this
truok was an apparatus, and perched thereon “a
Silvnr-Gr^.y Fox"—a fox that attracted much at
tention—and “that was very uneasy in its posi
tion."
'I'he* Holden truck Truck' This word points
an imjuiry. V/hat Truckling has Mr. Holden
done, that his name, now while we are in dreadful
war, designates a portion of the display, in a cel
ebration of our enemies!’ How has he truckled
to our invaders, that thus he obtains at their
hands this distinguished •onsideration? And on
tho top, a “Silver-Grey Fox.” Why select
Fox to surmount the Holden Truck'' What is
there of resemblance between Mr. IJolJeu aud a
“Silver Grey-Fos?” -Wiiat of disposition, habit
or character do the yankee admirers of Mr. Hoi
den see alike in him and a “Silver-Grey Fox?’
T4*c ta nji artfut, cunniug, loWj, deceitful, mis
chievous, false, treacherous beast. Why should
tho yankees, while * thus honoring Mr. Holdcn,
thus associate him^
liut the “silver-Grey fox toas very mkeasy in
hts position” Pox as he was, he was not wMolIy
lost to all sense ot honor; all sense of shame, all
sense of danger. One or the other, or perhaps a
little^of both emotions, conspired to his uneasiness.
Well may this Fox feel uneasy. The hunters
are after him—:the woods are open—the coursers
are fleet of foot, and Newbern and North Caroli
na will not always be safe for it.
This is the first picture of the candidate for
Governor in^North Carolina, sent up for presen
tation to the' people from the columns of the
Times—Geo. Mills Joy, Yankee, Editor.
It would be a very extraordinary«man that can
thus hold the affections of both sides in a time
of deadly war—can strictly maintain the faith
vvith both—be honored by one in public celebra
tions—and elected Governor by the other.
