Nething it has been said, of this first meeting of these great soldiers on the battle-field could be in more striking contrast than the appearance and manner of the two. Handsome in face aud figure, finely mounted, a graceful rider, calin-visaged, carefully dressed, Lee presented the beu ideal 01 the cotnmauder whose outward bearing captivates the soildier's eye. Hi famous lieutenant rode apparently by choice, an ilNgroomed," rawboued horse, and rat so short-etirruped as to give lU figures the most awkward appearance. An old cadet's, evidently a relic of the college professorship bad not long since left," was drawn down, over hiaeyes His coat was not only thread-bare but ill-brushed ; and his words were jerked out in short, abrupt sentences, between which sacked the lemoti-wbicli was, as usual his sole refresh ment during this-day's work. Yet each already understood the other, and valued him at his true worth. "That ie a heavy fire down yonder, said Lee, as the Fed eral guns opeiud in reply to Jackson's. "Can your men staud it 7' "They can stand almost anything. They can stand that,' was the emphatic reply ; and after a lew words of order explanation, he left his chief to lead on the attack. This was decisive, aided as it was by a fresh advant e j of the troops before cngagd. The red evals were turned, overmatched and "drivM en from their position, and before dark the scattered remains of Porter's force were crossing the Chickahominy in histy re treat, Lee'a first battle, in fact, was sti ik ing a success and as well-earned, as any of the more famous victories in after days NORTH j CAROLINA PRE JS ASSO l.:.ii i.'-ri-.- qiAT102U tj- : -,.-;u Constitution And 2&2jau:3U(hvted at the h ecentCoM-enti6n at GoUaboro.

In the year 1871 the schoouer Fianklin, Captaiu Holmes, left New Iondon as one pf the pioneer vessels from that port, to Engage in the seal fishery at the South Shetland Inlands, which are situated at about ten days' sail to the southward of Cape Horn, in latitude 04. After an nn eventful voyage of four mouths the Vessel arrived at its destination. The following day the captain ordered a boat's crew of five men, under the orders of James A. King, boat steerer, to pro ceed to the shore and commence killing seals at Window Inland, off which Iplacc the vessel was anchored. In the; boat were placed provisions for seven day, ana a big club for each of the men,; with which to kill the seals by hitting them on the head, t'nptain Holmes' instructions were: ''Kill ull you can, and we will be back for you within a week."

The rich booty of seaj tkins was left on -the beach, and the party departed for the island; where its members safely arrived and commenced operations. Meanwhile the Franklin returned from a cruise to Livingstone Island, (where it hau made a large h nil of seals,) tcV in dow Island, expecting to find her five men there, take them on board and sail for home. A boat was accordingly sent ashore to bring them on boaid, but, of course they were invisible: but after traveling a considerable distance along the rugged shore the pile of sealskins was discovered by the crew, and also the notice written by King, to the effect that .he party had left the L-lar.d. By this time the weather was becoming boisterous and cold, aud it was found im possible to take nil the sealskins on board ship. They were, consequently, abandoned, and the Franklin proceeded to St. George's Itland in quest 6f the musing men, who, the captained judged, if not relieved, would eoou periah. For several days the vessel cruised in the vicinity of the island, the captain con stantly studying it with his glass, but in vain, to see if ho comd perceive any sign j of human life. This group of islands is j totally uninhabited, and it is only from ' the middle of January until the niiddleof March that the so called summer reigns. Nothing conld be seen of the boat or of tlie men, but in spite of this gunS were Ircd constantly, fog-horns were blown, and at night rockets were sent ap, but no response ot any kind came from the shore, 1.1 . t .1 -1 , .ii:. ; aim the captain 01 ine x rauKiin, seeing the futility of his efforts, was forced to abandon the men to tluir fate, andailed for home. No boat was scut ashoro On Account of the Breakers and the ice which had already formed. After a rough passage the ! ranklin atriv- ed at New London, and the loos cf her five men was duly thronicled. In August Last Year a New London sealing fleet left for the ulh Shetland Llands, and it was mutually agreed that the e-ptains ot the j vessels should do all m their power to discover what had become of the five lost men. When the bark Nile, commanded by CaptainWiilia:iis, came to an anchor age of' Potter's Cove, St. George Island. the captain aud a number of his men went Hfhore to see what had happened to the men. The captain expected, owing to the frightful cold of this region of perpetual snow and ice, that none of them would be alive. Kin a Discovered in a Hut.

The boards! aud a store were found by the five mn, and ther succeeded after considerable1 difficulty, iu getting all in place.
