Having thus accom We publish to-day, and respectfully request our ei changes to copy, the subjoined appeal. We can vouch for the fact that it da made by a delegation of.

That the appeal is genuine and that the credentials- of the gentlemen issuing it are satisfactory, we feel fully aa thorised to say. . We trust that, "as a matter of cow' tesy, as well as humanity, lie press or tbe Uonleaer ate States will give it general circulation. The Uo guage of the appeal bears the, impress of a foreign idiom, but that we bare not, thought it proper to alter. suffering and crushed people, plished his full share of the work, the fight ceased un til) our infantry cocld be brought into action. About 5 o'clock p. m., Gen. Hill baring a position oa the enemy's flank, attacked their works, behind ; which a large force of infantry was massed, and upon which bristled a heavy line of. cannon. Our troops aored forward in beautiful order to the attack, but ' before reaching the .worki, were checked by the. tcr- - riblo fire of grape, canister and musketry poured into ' their ranks. Each was the severity of the firing, that - a temporary faltering was. vunhle, but . tljere was no retreat. The assaulting .column threw themselves upon the ground until the supports came up, when - with a yell they arose and advanced upon the enemy. The cannon and musketry firing from 'the enemy's works, was, if possible, now increased, but their des- - peration availed them apt. Without check or faltering our men charged np to . and over the . work.... Nearly if not quite two thousand prisoners, belonging to Han , cock's (Second) Corps," were captured, with nine pie ces or artillery. Tbe Yankees who were not captured in the assault' fled in great eonfubion, dropping their gnns and many of them throwing away everything .that avail encum bered them. . Col.

We should like to see some movement on th part of tbe fanners, merchants and mechanics of this State, similar to the .action of the farmers of Yir ginia, that will eause the Assessors to receJevfrom their present prices. What say the farmers of Anou7 Will they strikethands with the farmers of MecLlen burg and the adjoining counties, and fcliow a more pa trio tic spirit than Las been shown for some time past and instead of keeping down the currency of the Con federate Government, take action to put it on a par with the best? Truly, as Secretary Trcnholm says, 'it lays with the - pop of the Cuufelerate States to make good or ruioHlie credit of their' own Government aud its currency. On the. subject of reform the Raleigh Conftdcralt says : - .

Owing, 'r bo"weverr to the largo number jbelda eacb aide, and the suffering consequent npon their confinement, the . Confederate Government has abated a. portion of ijs just demands under the cartel, and offered to accept the proposal heretofore made by the enemy, viz: ex change oificer for officer and man for man, leaving the excess; if any in, their bands until other captures were , made. This last offer of our government, though made early in the month, has not yet been accepted, seem ing to show a persistent purpose on the part of the enemy to refuse all offers of exchange, even upon terms oncreany tneaseives.tyaVTa. - .
