January 1. 1861. THE MANASSAS BATTLE. The enemy at Manassas appears to have 'been armed mainly with Minie rifles, or at least to have fired Minie balls. This is shown by the character of the injuries inflicted upon our people who fell either dead or wounded by email arms. 'The Min ie ball, especially when fired front a rifled weapon, makes an awful wound not to be mistaken for that made by a round ball from a mu.ket. More in proportion of the enemy fell by cutting and thrust ing weapons, and by artillery. The bayonet and bowie knife with the Light Artillery, were ail used with terrible eflect by the soldiers from the extreme South-west. Russell, of the London Times, says he never, in his life, saw such fighting as took place at the battle of Stone Bridge. Four hours, he says, both armies stood up to a kind of conflict which, fur vigor, endurance and pertinacity, was unequaled. The Hon. Mr Ely, M. C, who is a-prisoner, represents one of the strongest Black Republican Districts in Western New York. He was most active in organizing Wide-Awake Clubs. We are informed that Mr Ely says if he is released he will procure the liberation of all the priyateers mcn in New Yfork. No More than was to be Expected. A letter written from the Confederate Camp at Manas.-as7 says: "We have several sur geons who are prisoners, hut they refuse to do anything whatever for their wounded comrades. They have thus imposed upon ua the duty not only of administering relief to the liviHg, but of performing the offices of humanity for the dead." Had one of Them. A gentleman who was at Manarsas on Tuesday morning, saw a negro man belonging to an Alabama oflieer march a Zouave info camp. The negro, a short thick set fellow, had two guns on his shoulder, and drove his prisoner before him. The Zouave was a pert looking fellow, and wore li is arm in a sling in con sequence of his wound. As the negro reached tlie company in which the oflieer was standing he handed over his prize, saving,' "Massa, here one of dese devils who been shooting at us, sir t -Richmond Enquirer. Richmond, July 23, 18G1. It is reported here and almost universaly believed, that five full com panies, attached to one of the Yankee Regiments which participated in the battle of Manassas on Sun day last, surrendered to Gen. Be tu regard on Fridaj last. These men, it seems, in their haste and fright, missed the road to Arlington, and became lost in the Virginia forests near the Blue Ridge. Worn down with fatigue, famished with hunger and despairing of ever making their way out with out being discovered, they hailed one of our scouts and requested that their condition be laid before Cen. Beauregard. All surrendered, and were kindly furnished with nourishments. It is pre sumed they will Le sent to Richmond. It is also stated that a house in the vicinity of Fairfax Court-house which was suspected by our iroops, was surrounded last Friday, and found to contain sixteen Yankee officers, who were not quite active enough in their movements last Sun day, and took refuge in this building. They were all bagged, of course, and will be securely held until it is ascertained what disposition is to be made of the crew of the privateer Savannah. The Colonels and Lieut. Colonels captured in Kanawha Valley by Gen. Wise's men, also the traitor Roberts, a member of the Wheeling Con vention, have all reached here and are now in du rance vile. Mayor Mayo, who went up to Manassas Tues day, has returned. He brings with him a few of the hand-culfs which the scoundrels intended to have put upon .the wrists of Southern freemen. God grant that these shackles may manacle the limbs of Scott and Lincoln before they are many days older. it is now thought that our dead will not ex ceed 200, and our wounded 30l). Many of the latter are but slightly injured, and will soon be out again It is said that over 650 baggage, ammunition and traveling wagons have fallen into our hands. Also nearly 90 cannon, thousands and thousands of rifles, muskets and revolvers; and canteens, haversacks, shoes, caps, overcoats and blankets, without number. Our victory ?s without prece dent. Northern account of the Rktreat. The Washington Star (republican) thus speaks of the retreat of the Northern army from the field: "The stream of demoralized soldiers who filled the roads and fields on the way towards Fairfax Court House now began to look like a stampede, especially as many civilians from Washington and elsewhere, who had come out in private carriages to see the fight began to turn their horses' heads homewards, putting whip to their horses with such activity that a few were wrecked by the way, from coming in contact with the heavy army wagons. Senators Chandler, Wilson, Wade, and other members of Congress somewhat later set their faces Washimgtonwards with gloomy countenances. Passing along the road towards Fairfax - Court house we saw the carriage way completely strewn with different articles thrown away by soldiers and teamsters. The panic among the teamsters was increased by an accidental explosion of some car tridees, and they apparently thinking the enemy was upon them hastened to throw away bags of grain, blankets, barrels of provisions, knapsacks, spades, &c, which were broken by the heavy wheels and presented the most irregular medley imaginable. It is estimated that uot less than $5,000 worth of grain was thus thrown away within a distance of four or five miles. In many instances the drivers cut the horses loose from the vehicles when there was a block, and hurried on. Some of them actually pricked their horses with bowie knives to accelerate their speed. The squad3 of demoralized soldiers were mean time adding their quota to the panic, by throwing away guns, knapsacks, canteens, &c, and by try ing to"nount upon and into private carriages as a means of escape. The army in its retreat was compelled to leave behind a large amount of provisions, ammunition, and about forty amy wagons, which fell itrto tbe bands of the Confederates. THE NORTH CAROLINIANS AT THE BATTLE OF MANASSAS. Capt. York, of tbe 6th N C. Regiment, fur: rMied the Raleigh Standard with the following authentic eccount of the part Col. Fisher's Regi ment took in the great battle and victory of the 21st at Manassas: The battle commenced in the morning with heavy cannonading on the right and centre, both sides maintaining their positions. The dull boom ing of the cannon was distinctly heard by us as we were disembarking from the cars, and as soon as that was done, our regiment was marched off in quick time, notwithstanding our weary march from Winchester, and though tired and apparently exhausted, yet the terrible cannonading in the centre and on the right, nerved every arm, brightened every eye, and quickened every step. On we went through the dust that rwe iu clouds, until we reached a point when we filed to the left to a spring, wheie our canteens were filled with fresh water by companies, and as each company received its water, were marched to the shade, and allowed to lie down and rest. After the watering operation was finished, we proceeded and were halted under cover of a hill in rear of one of our batteries, and ordered to load and rest, and imme diately we loaded and laid our weary limbs upon the gras'i and many fell into a doze, notwithstand ing the battle was raging around us; but men who had not slept for three nights on a forced march, could sleep anywhere. This was about 7 o'clock, and the sun shone brightly, and the cannonading became more intense, dense clouds of smoke rose from the opposite hills, the earth shook with the awful thunder, and continued to wax h dter and hotter, when almost instantaneously the men cried out, 4,Col. Fisher, we're ready." He replied, " I know that." Suddenly his clear voice rang out, "Attention !" when every man sprung with new life to his place in ranks, shouldered his niujke.t, and at the command "Forward march," we movtd briskly up the hill and formed a line of battle in rear of one of our batteries, where we could see distinctly the columns of smoke rising up from the enemies' batteries on the opposite hills, while the balls were whistling around us. Suddenly we shifted position further to the lelt in a road run ning by a thick wood, and still the balls were whistling over us. A slug fion: a rifled cannon passed through our ranks, but there was no waver ing, but intent on the attack, you could read on every brow the stem resolve to conquer or die. Here we stood resting on our arms with the wounded lying around us, and ever and anon some would breathe his last; when again rang the clarion voice, and led by our gallmt Colonel we filed through the dense tangled undergrowth, and sped onward until we struck a ravine which led directly up to Serman's battery, and were h-ilted with the two right flank companies under Capts. Freeland and York, within forty yards of the guns and a regiment of the TJ. S. Army support ing them, when the command of fire was given, when we silenced the battery at the fiist fire. Capts. Kirkland and Avery led their men around the point of woods and charged the battery and drove every man from the pieces. About this time, some officer cried out to cease firing, that we were firing into our own men. Exposed to a raking fire from the enemy, and fired into by our friends, Col. Fisher ordered us to retreat, which was done in some disorder, owing to the cry that we were firing into friends. And it was here that the gallant Col. Fisher fell in front of the battery, leading on his men to the charge. He was shot through the head with a ball. May he rest in the soldier's heaven ; for a nobler, braver, more gallant man never led a column to victory. II is Orderly brought his re mains ta the Junction, and placed them in a neat coffin, and Capt. York made all necessary arrange ments, and ?ent the body on to North Carolina, that it might sleep in the soil that gave him birth, and in whose defence he offered up his life. That portion of the Regiment rallied by the gal lant Lightfoot and Webb, pitched into the hottest of the tight, and joined in the final charge, when the enemy were put to a precipitate flight, and joined in the pursuit for several miles. No more gallant spirits strode over that field, than Lt. Col. Lightfoot and Mnj. Webb Tlie remainder of the regiment, under different officers, fell in wi:h other regiments and fought to the last. No regiment behaved with more bravei' and gallantry than the North Carolina 6th infantry, on that m?morab!e field. Led up into the hottest of the fight, within a few yards of a battery that was raking our army, they delivered their fire with the deadliest pre cision. Our loss was about sixty killed and wounded. Among the officers, our gallant Col. Fisher fell early in the attack. Lt. Col. Lightfoot was wounded in the calf of the leg, but never stopped although on foot, as were all our field officers. Capt. Avery was shot in the leg, but like a brave man as he is, never left the field. Lt. W. P. Mangum was severely wounded in the leftside. The report that Maj. Webb was killed is untrue; though exposed to a most terrible fire he escaped uninjured. WHO TOOK SHERMAN'S BATTERY ? Several regiments claim the honor of silencing and taking this battery. It teas taken hy the (ith Infantry, N. C. State Troops. The regiment, as I have stated, was led up within forty yards of it, and their fire silenced it, and Col. Lightfoot, Maj. Webb, Capts. Kirkland and Avery, and Lieuts. Aver' and Mangum, marched right up to it with their men, and passed beyond it, and received a galling fire from the left, when they were ordered to cease firing and fall back. Maj. Webb was resting on cne of tbe pieces, facing the fire, and our men retreated in good order, all the whila de livering their fire. TIIE FINAL RESULT. About sunset, the enemy were charged by our army and put in disorder, and ran like turkeys, pursued by our infantry, cavalry and artillery, for several miles, until darkness stopped them Our Regiment was in the charge, under Col. Lightfoot and Maj. Webb. RUMORS. The rumor that Col. Lightfoot is severely wounded is false. The rumor that Maj. Webb was killed is also false, he escaped unhurt. The rumor that CaptB. Freeland, Avery, Kirkland, Craig and York were killed is al?o untrue, as is also the rumor of the death of Adjutant Lowrie, Lieuts. Kirkland, Avery and E. Turner. THE FIFTn NORTH CAROLINA REGI MENT. The Fifth Infantry, N. C. State Troops, forms a part of Brigadier General Longstreet's command and although crippled in its efficiency by the sick ness of two of its field officers, nobly performed its part in the battle of Manassas, on the right wing, , uuder the gallant lead of its Lieutenant Colonel, J. P. Jones,. who was in sole command during the entire engagement. Early in the morning the cannonading commenc ed from two balterieS ou the right flank of the posi tion occupied by this Regiment, supported by a full brigade of the enemy. Colonel Jones deter mined to ascertain the position of their batterias aud the force of the enemy, detailed a small re connoitering force under the command of Rev. James Sinclair, Chaplain of the Regiment, who had volunteered his services for the day. This force crossed the Run, and attempted to penetrate the wood on the left of the enemy's position, but was recalled, in order to charge the batteries up the ravine on the right, the scouts having brought in the necessary information. The Virginia sev enteenth was at the same time ordered to support the North Carolina Fifth, which duty it gallantly discharged. General Longstreet, with character istic valor, undertook now a movement which, if the orders were understood generally, would have carried the day with still greater lustre, if not a more complete victory. Col Jones was oidered to send four companies up the hill as skirmishers, and to draw the fire of the batteries, while Brigadier General Jones from our right was to flank the enemy on his left. The reserve companies of the 5th, supported by tlie 17th Virginia, was to attack the enemy on the right. The skirmishers of the North Carolina 5th headed by the Chaplain, charged up the hill, in face of a storm of grape and can'ster which killed two and wounded five of his men. On the sum mit of this hill these men lay fur two hours, re ceiving the enemy's fire without flinching, while on every side the hoary monarchs of the forest were being mown down like giass before the tnow ei's scythe. The brave commander himself team ed to be ubiquitous here, there and everywhere exposing himself in the hottest of the fire. It is hard for men to remain still and receive the fire of tlie enemy, without being permitted to return it; and this precisely was the condition of the North Carolina 5th on the 21st July. Long and eagerly did those brave men watch lor the signal of attack upon the right, in order to give the Northern hounds a touch of the Southern steel. After remaining on the hill for two hours, and losing in killed aud wounded seven men, this body received orders to retire to the ravine, which was done iu good order. But the tide of battle again rolled down the hill and once more four companies of the 5th N. C. Stite troops were ordered to occupy the sum mit, and await orders to advance with the bayonet on the battery on the right of the enemy's posi tion. This was accomplished without any loss to the North Carolinians; and although they were not privileged to advance upon the battery, we think the North Carolina Fifth Infantry has given good earnest that at no distant day she will carve for herself a name in the military annals of the Southern Confederacy. Had Lieut. Col. Jones had the other field officers of the Regiment with him, there would have probably been another bright spot in the glories of the 21st of July, 1861. But bravely did he perform his duty, though his Lieut. Colonel was a preacher, taking his first lesson in the art of war, and imparting the same to the enemy in the most impressive manner possi ble. Gen. Longstreet, in token of his appreciation of Mr Sinclair's services on the occasion, presented him with one of the sabres captured from the ene my, and expressed his desire that he should go on his staff. Duncan K. McRae, the Colonel of the above mentioned Regiment was unfortunately detained at Weldon by sickness. Lieut. Col. Jones, who commanded in the fight, is a native of Anson county, formerly of the U- S. Army. Destutjtive Fire. We regret to learn that Mr Ruel MeNeely, in the western part of Rowan county, sustained a heavy loss in out-houses and crops, Friday afternoon 26th. The fire originated in a straw house, and extended to two barns, two cribs, wheat-house, &c, destroying them all, together with their contents. The horses, wagons, gearing, &.C., were saved. His entire crop of wheat and oats, and a lot of old corn, were lost. It is not known bow the fire originated. Salis bury Watchman. Miner's and Planter's Bank. A friend wants to know how the bills of the above bank, located at Murphy, in Cherokee county, stand in this market. We can only inform him that we are all glad to get them, and that they are banka ble here. Is that enough ? Asherille Ncict. A Christian Captain. We have already mentioned that the Rev. Dr. Pendleton, an Epis copal clergyman of Va., is the captain of an artil lery company in the Southern army. To this company Prof. Fishburn, formerly of Davidson College, is attached. They were assigned to duty in Northern Virginia, and took part in the recent skirmishes under Gen. Jackson. A correspondent of tlie Dispatch relates an incident of Capt. Pend leton, which shows the spirit by which he is ani mated. Having loaded and aimed one of the field pieces, he calmly raised his hands and uttering this short prayer: " May the Lord have mercy upon their poor souls," he gave the command, fire ! The ball struck the head of the enemy's column, and when the smoke cleared away, ' it path through the ranks of the invaders was still visible. y. C. Presbyterian. Ladies, take Notice. In putting up cooked provisions for soldiers' be sure to let everything become thoroughly cool before it is boxed up. When put up warm it will spoil in a fw hours, so that it cannot be eaten. Much that has been sent lo the forts and camps have already been lost on this account. THE "LOYAL" REGIONS. The Asheville News, speaking of the intima tion by Lincoln that certain portions of the South were Btill loyal to the Northern Government, pay : Abraham Lincoln, the Prince of Liars, in his late message to the Rump Congress, 6sys that a large portion of the people of the South are still "loyat" to the Union, and would gladly return and become the slaves of the aforesaid Abraham ami his menagerie of "upclean beasts" L at Wash ington. The Natioual Republican, with the char acteristic toadyism of small minds cultivating the friendship and patronage of power, not only imitates Lincoln in barefaced and downright lying,, but goes on, the better to mislead and " deceive "the ignorant masses at the North, to locate the "loyal" regions of the South. Among these tloyal' regions he puts down "Western North Carolina," and "probably Western South Carolina.' As to the latter, it is not our especial province to speak, but we may say that the idea intended to be con veyed, that "Western South Carolina" contains sympathizers with the Ru iip Government, is about as big a lie as a man could conceive. Not a single circumstance has occurred at any time since the beginning of our troubles to make such an impres sion, and it is a lie of the first magnitude, and entirely worthy of the fugleman of Abraham Liu coln. As to the "loyaV citizens of Western North Carolina, we profess to be able to speak under standingly. Western North Carolina that is, the country lying west of the Blue Ridge, and containing a voting population of abput 8,000 has now in the Confederate Army about 3,000 men, or about one-third of her voting population; and we know whereof we affirm, when we say that if called for, as many more can be had in thirty days Do these facts furnish the data upon which the lying Lincoln organ asserts that Western North Carolina is "loyal" to the contemptible tyrant and usurper at Washington ? Further, every county in Western North Carolina, even those bordering upon "loyal' East Tennessee, has furnished ono or more companies to meet and welcome Lincoln's thieves with "bloody hands to hospitable graves." Old Buncombe has now about 800 men in the field, and when Lincoln's thieves attempt to enter these "highlands" on a 'Summer campaign" she has fifteen hundred riflemen yet at home, who can bo rallied at twenty-four hours notice, to give tho rascal a welcome more warm than comfortable. THE WAR IN MISSOURI. A letter dated Knob Nostcr, Missouri, July l!5, and published in the Louisville Courier, gives the first intelligible account which we have seen of the late Southern victory at Carthage. The writer, who got his information from a participant in the battle, says: -The brave State troops met the Federals under Col. Seigel's command unexpectedly, at about eight miles north of Carthage. They wcro 2500 strong, and having the choice of giound, bad planted their cannon in the most commanding position. Governor Juckson, with about J2,000 men, of whom only about 2000 were armed, ex cept with shot guns, determined to give them battle. Ho had only eight pieces of cannon, which he planted as best he could. Scigel opened tho fire on them, which was kept up for eight hours, when our cavalry outflanked them and made a charge, which broke their ranks. The Federals then retreated in some confusion, our boys cutting off about seven hundred of their number, four cannon, and a great number of wagons, army t up plies and horses. A running fight was then kept up for eight miles to Carthage, our boys cutting them down the entire route. When at Carthage, Col. Seigel made a stand, but was routed, leaving eighteen wagons of pro visions, camp equipage, mules, and one wagon load of cakes, pies, &c, intended for a feast for the Federals after cleaning out our boys a good joke, but badly spoilt. Our bravo State troops still charged them three miles South of Carthage, when they were checked by night oveitaking them. They then rested for refreshments, which it may be imagined they wanted badly. On tho following morning, Ben McCulloch joined thcui with 6000 Rangers, who followed the Federals ou Saturday, the result of which had not been ascer tained up to the time our informant left; but as Gen. Price, with 3000 men, was advancing on them from the South of Carthage, they certainly captured their whole command. After our boys had cut off the wing of the enemy with their four cannon, the best they bad, they were compelled to cut them down before they would give up the gunr. The cavalry charged on them, and in many cases they would not sur render until they were cut down.
