Ieo, after accomplishing the purposes in view by holding the line of the Mattapony, has moved some twelve or. fifteen miles further back, the more complete y to cover and protect its communications and consolidate its strength. The movement will, of course, he heralded by the enmy as evi dence of Geo. Le's vv eakness, and Gen. Lee is doubtless perfectly willing that such an infer ence should be drwn, especially if the enemy will act upon it, and do some of that tall "pm suir.gji of which the Northern papers hav been boastiug for the past ten days. The plat;s of Gen Lfe are with himself; he has tho entire confidenco of his own people, and cares littlo for the enemy's opinions. We shall look upon every movement be may make as forming a part of a magnificent whole, the result of which is to be certain victory. On the Southside, the army-Under Butler has been whipped so often, and at length so effectually, that its influence in connection with the'eam- paign against Richmond has become absolute ly insignificant. . The whole of that army, whatever it number, is no'v sweltering in the sun and the ignominy of its defeat within thfe compass ot a few miles, upon a little piece of ground, flanked . by the James and Appomattox, and fronted by Bjureard's triumphant and exceedingly troublesome vete rans. The next step of that army will doubt less be to cap the climax ot its failure by sneaking off to the assistance of Grant. Rich mond Enquirer 22d. The taking of fortified cities is the most difficult of all the achievements of war. TIih greatest cbnqnerers the world ever knew have been compelled to spend months and years in reducing cities of a few thousand inhabitants. Gibraltar is the proverb of impregnability. Tho allies -spent six months at Sebastopol. Victor Emanuel battered the walls of Gacta for five years with bis fleets before he got through. An English fleet fitted out for the capture xf Cronstadt returned without firiDg a eun. TLc extent of the sieire of Troy is well known . Charleston ha? stood nine months. Richmond laughed at McClellar's attempts to beseige and capture it when on the Chicka bominy. Grant, who circumvallated Yicks burg on accoant of the incapacity of our com mander, has shot ont .from Washington to hand Richmond over to Lincoln on the fourth of Jnly, as he did Yicksburg. Pemberton is not on hand now, and Grants visionary fame will soon pass awny. Ill RALEIGH, N. C, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1864: KlBKLANis Bit MADE, K Spotsylyania C. II., Ta., May 20th. ; Editors C'oofAfefYie: Knowing that jonr columns arc always open to .comraunica'iofis from the army, by request, I snatcb a Tl'W moments, from the fatigue and excitcmcntof two weeks battle, to write a hasty note, rela tive to the action of our brigade, lor the infor mation of mauy anxious friends. : On the 6th inst., Heth's Division of ZxA (IPHV) corps being the advance of the. rroj,j our brigade, the. advance of the division, came; Upon the enemy on the Orange and Fredricks-J -burg plank road, some six miles below ,Va-j diersviile. Though only cavalry opposed jav "they fought obstinately, for the purpose, they : "said, of giving thtir infantry time tocome;upl and form. They were driven, though, by our t-kirmisheis. full six miles down, the road. Gen. Lee was along with the brigade all dav. In the aftornoon, aftp a long, hot marchftwe came up with the heavy forces of the enemy's -inftntty k the Wilder ueas. I lore-tUe wliole, division became engaged. The rmjke'ry was. continuous and very heavy. The enemy was driven back ; no artillery, or but little, was used, on account of the thick wood.' We held the ground we had won, though urs ami Cook's brigade, at least, had exhausted their ammunition, until the division of Gen. Wil cox came up. We slept on the field. It is deserving of mention, that amidst the hottest of the tire, when the gunners had been driven away from one of our pieces, Lieut. Winship Stedjnan, with a few of hi men of the 44ib regimeut, brought it off by hand an action complimented by the Generals who esaw it. The names of the others will be pub lished. Maj. Stedman, of the 44th, was wtiunded. He is again on dutjv On Friday morniug, very early, one of Gen. Wilcox's brigades being in our iron, the ene my made a very heavy and d termined assault upon us. Most of the men were eatiog; the lines were only partially formed. It is said the attack was made by two corps and three divisions at least. The heavy masses of the enemy forced the first line back in some con fusion. Some portion of our brigade was exposed to a fltuk tire, which, wi h the heavy fire from the front, the heavy los we were sufferiog, and the confusion resulting from the running through by the line in front, caused that portion to fall back a short distance The timely arrival just then of Gen. Lon2- : btreet's command, which charged in magnifi cent style, routed the enemy. The field and the day were ours. The slaughter of the ene my was immense acres were blue with their dead. Our loss, though heavy, wan compara tively small. Col. Line- of the 20th, was slightly wouuded on Thursday; but he as Mimed command again on Saturday! Colonel SingeltarjT of the 44th, was wounded ou Fri day morning. Lt. Col. Jones of 2Cth, fell lu jr. ally wounded on Fiiday. No more gal lam spirit has ibid the earth, among the tuanv dead of lhi vvur. No one of the many dead of the old regiment, was more universally re gretted. Capt. Gains, another gallant sol her. of the 44th, was also killed. A protecting Providence seemed to have haH fpecial care of our troops. Few wer kiWl uiauy of Wm wounded were but bliijhily . The Wash ington Alorninfj Chronicle puts ibe federal logs up to Sunday the 8th, at lhirty-ftvo t:'u sand. After much wat'hing and fatigu, the divi sion m ived from the works near Spotsylvania Gmrt House, early Tuesday morning, tho 10th, to drive baik the enemy whu had par tially effected a fl ink movement on the left of the army. After a forced . march of ix miles, we came up with and immedia'ely commenced driving tho er.emy's skirmishers. Davis a. d Kirkland in front, Cooke and Wa'ker support. Prisoners say vve fought a corps. We drove them from a fine pesitio" on Glady Jlun,"a branch of the Mattapony, outof a hastily constructed woik, then from a str n2 one, across the r ad, where the brigad', 44b regiment, I think, captured a piece of arti lery, and finding 'the division moving something in echelon out of another 6erie of woiks, drove them ent'rely" across the river. They lost all the groui.d. tl.ey h? d gained in two days, without opposition unless from cavalry. Captain F. K. Nash, of General K.'s staff, deserves special mention for gal lant conduct on the field. Captain Gibson, of the 52d, and Lieut. Gash, of the 11th,. were mortally woundrd. Our loss also was small. The brigade held part of the works at Spbt sj'lvania C. H. ou Thursday following, during that unprecedented charging. Though not . actively engaged, some men were lost by ar tillery firo. Annexed is a general order read to the division on Wednesday: Head's Heath s Division, May 11th, 18G4. General Orders, iV . I am requested by Gen. L'e and Lieut. Gen. Hill to express to the division their satisfac tion nt its gallant conduct in attacking and carrying the enemy's Hi.e of entrenchments on the 10th inst. Words are inadequate to express to the di vision my admiration for all its gallant deeds since tne oih inst. Much is yet left to fce done, and I know from the past that all that brarc men can do will be accomplished. (Signed) 11. HETa, Maj. Gen. During the last four days we have been eagerly expecting the enemy to advance ou us again, as they are reported heavily massed in our front. The supposition is. that the officers would, but the men can't be brought to time. This brigade was never in better .pints, or more anxious to engage the enemy. It ha and will, under the leadership of the fearless Kirkland, prove itself worthy the name and fame acquired under tho lamented Pettigrew. I neglected to mention that Captain L G. Young, A. A. G , arrived on the field on Fri day morning, the 6th, at daylight, was woun ded very early in tne action, and though returning to the field after having his wound dressed, was compelled to return to the hos pital whence he came, only because he felt his presence necessiry during a battle.- His ab sence has been much regretted by tne brigade. In conclusion, let me say that no troops have more worthily gained a gallant fame during this series of actions than Kirkland's and Cooke's v brigades. G.

AN APPEAL TO TIIK PiCOPLS OF TUZ CONFEDERATE STATES. The Directors .or the Youns Men's Christian Association of 'tichmond, respect fully, but cirncstly, submit to tho benevolent and the patriotic throughout the Confederate States, an appeal in behalf of the Soldiers' 'Families in this city. Since the commencement of the war, Richmond has been a refuge for thoso whi bave been driven from their homos by our ruthless enemies. Thousaads of helpless women and child. en, not from tho-devastated counties f Virginia alone, but from nearly every State of the Confederacy, nave sount au asylu in our midst. Our citizens have been appL-d to in nuinb?riei4 instances to relieve thu sick and wounded tiolJiet'd, to .furnish shoes aod-dothfn.j for eoidiers in the add and hospital,' and to afford food aud shelter for tbeir suITjring families, aud nobly have th?y, iu this great majority of in stance, responded to every appeal. The euppli? of provisions in this city at this tin.o are ?o reduced, and the diifieuities of ob taining others by ordinary means so numerous and great, that tho funds contributed for the re lief of the poor can accomplish but little in pur chainog the necessaries of life. In a written report from the Clothing Bureau, it xppear&cbat there are more than three thou sa.jd msV3s ; in this city who are wetting employ ment from the Government in vain, and that those who obtain work are not fuUy employed. The wages received for their work will not enable these poor women to procure a sufficiency of the plainest food for themselves and children. With out assistance, then, from the city and country generally, many instances of actual starvation must have occurred. Our City Council ha? uiaue most liberal appropriations for tTtu purchase of supplies, both for gratuitous distribution and for sal-; at cost ; but the agents employed for the pur pose have not been abh to procure the quantity of provisions required. Under these eircuiMtitaaces, we feci lhat it is our duty to a peat to our fellow-citizens through out the Confederate States, to forward,, without delay, coutributions of money and supplies to the army Committee of this association. Since the couimenceiant of the war this Committee has labored zealously aud faithfully for the temporal and spiritual weliare'bf our "soldiers and their fami lies, and the succes of our glorious cause. Let those soldiers not be discouraged now, tu,on the eve of our severest, and, as we trust, our last and most glorious campaign, for want of the gener- "ous sympathy and support of tbeir friends at home. Shipments madt to Roger Martin, Superintend ent, or'Wm. 1. Munford, Chairman of the Army Committee, will be promptly attended to. And in accordance with a special agreement made with the Superintendent of the Southern Express Company,'all express charges will be paid by them at Richmond Contributions of money should alio be sent to thee gentlemea.
