Gaston Railroad is one cf the best managed roads in the CoDfedera- of. An accident of a serious nature never Loetfurs on this road. No doabt one of the principal reasons for this may be found in the fact that it has always been the policy of the company to give employment to native Southerners, in preference to reckless adven turerVf either from the North or elsewhere. The Roard of Directors have recently e clared. a semi-annual dividend ofrten per oent., which fact, sufficiently attests the good mantment of the affairs of t? company. THE LATE LIEUTENANT X DUNCAN CASIEKON HAYWOOD. The remains of this gallant and lamented young efficerr were " broaght to ( this city on VesKlence'" of "his " af- - flieted mother, were followed by one of the largest funeral processions we ;ever saw in Raleigh, to the public cemetery, where, after ths appropriate funeral Exercises by the Re v. Dr. Mason, they were interred. H Lieutenant Haywood was filled about 4 o'clock cn Friday afternoon. He waa the , Adjutant of his Regiment (the 7th) butl acted in Ihe battle as Captain of one of the companies. The eolor bearer" having .been shot down, young Haywood seized the colors and was in the act of waving thera over his head when a grape-shot struck him in the - forehead, tearing off the top of . his scull and lulling mm instantly..

Oar city was startled, late yeswrday evening, by reports ofhuAvy,ordnancdlan3 by one consent it wai UDivrilly announced that tbo Grftatr, Battle bad at Inst opoiipd, and that ihe greatest and most momentous conflict of tbe age was fully inaugu rated. " As far m "we can ascertain, at a iate hour of nigbt, it appears ibat our forces attacked the enemy: witb unparralei fury at jrecbanicaTille,' and from tbe suddenness of tbe attack, the enemy, were totally non-plussod and driven from three large redoubta in rapid succession, seizing the guna and tuning" them with terrific effect upon the foe. This accomplished, bur forces advanced and captured two lines of entrenchments and. field works, taking everything bpfore them, in ejallant style. ; Co-operating with the. movement on tbe extreme right and rear of the enemy, our Gene rals crossed tboCLickahominy at two. points; " viz: by tbe Mecbanicsville bridge and Meadow bridge, attacking tte enemy with great dash and ardor, driving in ttieir outposts, ana mxuuiu ku vv j tnrtin 1 chUSett8J 2d V Jewev; A;c., o.. XT New site bill?, seized the batteries erected thereon, and r..n- ..n.maninir-thfl future 'movements of. our IUU1 kUlHlu-, . forces in crossine the stream. In doing this, tha rapiditv of movement was such that the enemy was unprepared, and lost a monster batter v, which had leme annoyed our troops to the right and left of the "J ork River Railroad. This achievement in itself is of incalculable value, and is , equivalent to the saving of five thousand livwr. Obii.

The enemy were totally routed whenever they made a stand batteries, entrenchments, Beld-worKs, camps, and arma, were captured with great rapidity, and bur losd is much les than could have been imag ined. In all likelibood.the engagement to-day will crove a treneral one at all points, and let na rever ently hope that tbo God of Battles will smile pro pitiously upon our cnorts; ana crown our iorces j witn a complete ana glorious iriumpaover uiaug From the Eichmond Examiner of Saturday.
