Th oYtreM vtflonr above repeals another . . . THE BATTLE OF CHANCELLORS V1LLE. We have been favored with the following extracts from a private letter received in this place from a highly intelligent offioer in Gen. Hamseur's Brigade. They give . the most minute aocount of thek part borne by Stonewall Jaoksan's invincible corps in the battle of Chancellorsville that we have seen in print. The graphic description of the fight given by the writer cannot fail to interest the reader : . ! Camp-nkar Guinea's, i May 8th, 1863. J unwarrantable stretch of powar on the part of nw Vanea.

Instead of taking men from their business to watch and guard the property of corporations fully able to pay for men to pro- accoutrement. &c., while Hooker's immense, and magnificent army has been hurled, as if by a thun derbolt, in confusion and dianaay across the Rap pahannock. Truly, a most glorious and thrilling recapitulation Our Brigade was in the forefront of battle, and was terribly exposed. : We lost some of our very best men, and the Brigado was p.blicly compli mented on the field for its conspicuous heroism.

It is obvious that this guard for the railroad bridges is not designed to protect them against any Yankee raid, for the number assigned to each bridge, (four,) is too ridiculously small for any such purpose as that. The object is to guard the bridges against .Accidental fire, hich we had nothing to do, while I will give you a very disjointed and nasty summary o events aa thev have transDired. - i ' rf 1 - - - . On May 1st, learning thai the cjossing of the enemy in our ireni was uuc in cumparaiivei small force, while the greaterportion had crossed at Kelley's fqrd.sorae miles above, we received or ders at 2 o'clock a. m , and marched some fourteen miles, reaching "Wilderness Church" about 10 o'clock, where weimmediately formed line of battle; roads in horrible conditon, and morninccool. The only incident attending this march Df tny inter- eat was the passage of General Jackson along the lines. He was every where'ereeted with acclama or injury that might be inflicted upon them tions that made the welkin nng again, and his by some one in the pay of the Yankees, and for such a guard the railroad companies are full able to pay. I- There are plenty of raeU over forty-five, and not subject to conscription or militia duty, who can be got for a reasonable com pensation to watch the Bridges. Let such be employed by the Hail Road Companies.' We doubt very mtfoh the legality of Gov. Vanoe's order, and hope, if an attempt to execute it by force is made, that some one will test the legality of tete order. K?Tbe Raleigh Standard frequently calls upon the magistrates in the counties to bestir themselves in supplying food for the Indigent families of the soldiers. As far as we can learn the magistrates in the several counties are doing their, duty in the prem ises. But there is another source for the supply of food to the needy families of sol- I some eight or nine miles, and by 2 o'clock p. m presence inspired the utmost enthusiasm. The old hero looked splendidly, was in full uniform,and the light of battle shone gloriously in his keen and piercing eye. About 3 o'clock p. m., our line of battle was advanced, and after proceeding two or three mile?, we encountered a column of the ene my, skirmishing with them until night, and driv ing them lefore U3 at every step. GenJ Ramseur handlod tbo Brigado beautifully in this engage ment, and the whole affair was as exciting as a fox chase. The Yankees no where made a stand of more than five minutes duration, but fled inglori- ously .leaving many prisoners and their knapsacks blankets; overcoats, &c, in. the woods. At night we were greatly harassed by their long-taw artil lery,! and several of our men were wounded. Nor were our slumbcTs very s und out in the cold damp air, with scarcely any covering, and the iron prrjectiles constantly falling upon us. No rations save half cooked bread and bacon. On May 2d, by one of those rapid and skilful 1 inarches, which "Stonewall" alone knows how to plan and execute, we marched by circuitous roads diers. The Legislature appropriated $500.- 000 for this purpose, and with that appro priation large quantities of pork were salted up last winter. Why has not this meat, or a portion of it, been sent forward and divid ed among the needy families of soldiers It was.for this purpose the appropriation was made, and ire should think, in -all conscience, that Adjutant General! Fowle's Commissary Department might, besides fading him, find time to see the food bought for - soldiers' families distributed among them. A little work would be of service to this Commissary Department. Nothing is more true than "an , idle brain is the devil's workshop," and if Adjutant General Fowje, does not give bis Commissary and his two clerks something to do, they may get into mischief and play the deuce generally, miscellaneously, and pro miscuously. So, General, put them to work, by all means put them to work. THE NEWS FROM MISSISSIPPI.' ' The news from Mississippi is anything but cheering, as it is much to bo apprehended that the Yankees will isolate Vicksburg, and ac complish by starvation the work which their bombs, balls and bullets have so egregionsly failed to consummate. If we can reinfurce our army at or near Vicksburg, ft must be 'done at once, as the well-founded dread of the hot and sickly weather, which is now " nearly at hand, will prompt the Yankees to 'superhuman exertions to finish their woik in the quickest possible time. SIGNIFICANT. .It is a significant faot that neither the Raltigh "Standard," nor its satellite, tfe Raleigh "Progress," have ever, attempted to justify the conduct of Governor -Vance in employing two able-bodied men as" "Aids," at a joint salary of near eight thousand dol lars a year, not a cent of whish is earned by any labour. And yetf these papers are vast- ly " fjohservative," exeeedinglyoareful of the people's interest and the people's money,1 found ourselves in the enemy's rear, and onlv a mile or so from our place of starting. Our, skir mishers were soon advanced, and while Hooker was only dreaming of an advance in frontSve fell upon his rear with irresistible force. Notwith standing the completeness and suddenness of the surprise, the enemy made a short and determined stand.but they could not withstand the impetuosity of our onset,afid were soon driven from a long line cf earthworks, losing artillery, many men, all their stores, &c. Our boys here liberally supplied themselves with plunder, and most of them found sugar and coffee enough to refresh themselves af ter their weary toil. Here it was, tw, that Gen. Jackson was accidentally wounded by some of our men. The old Chieftain has lost his arm, and the cause will for some months be deprived of his in estimable services ; but the old Hero says that be fore long ha will be in the field again, if he has to go in an ambulance. I saw . him after he was wounded, and could have wept, but not a groan escaped Aw lips. The command now devolved upon Gen. Stuart. We. held the works we had captured, and prepared for such a night's rest as we could get This night I .witnessed the most magnificent pyrotechnlcal display I ever beheld, caused by an artillery duel. Ther was continual picket fighting throughout the. night, preluding the gigantic and bloody 8trnrgla that was to com mence with the coming d.j. On May 3d, ere the ftelsej Sabbath sun had arisen, and dispersed the mists which hung like a funeral pall over the last eve's scenes of blood and death, the two armies had begun, axew the work of destruction both convinced that this was to be the decisive day ; our men buoyed up by hope and high courage, the enemy driven to the madness of desperation. 'Soon the battle raged along the en tire lines, and the sights and sounds whjch ensued beggars all description, and I shall not attempt to portray them. The enemy were strongly fortified, their artillery was in mo3t places massed, and a long whye they really fought with a spirit and obitinacy that in a bettor cause ' would have de served success. It was in thiamorning'awork that our Brigade suffered .so awfully, but they stood up, while their comrades were falling around them, like a brazen wall in the face of the sheets offlimetbat werer poured in upontbem. For many hours the carnival of blood went on, Jack son's Corps falling upon the enemy's left; Loe, with Anderson and part of McLsw's Divisions, on their right ; bill by. midday the enemy had given away at every point, retreated beyond Chaocelltttsville, skill, and,3 upon 'the part of the men?'witbTnSBt' TsutryraaTwTnrrriake immortai-tneTiame of our "Army of the Potomac." What an inglorious termination to the vaunts cf the haughty foe 1 I read the order issued by Hooker after he had ef fected his crossing, in which he says that "the reb- j3i8' will now be compelled ignominiously to flee, or, else, to; fight us in our chosen positions, where utter annihilatWawaits them." Aad our force did not exceed one third of his own II. No imagination can paint, much less cau my Jeeble med describe the horrors presented by the batfle-field after the battle was over, and for sev eral days thereafter. The awfully mangledcorpses the groins of the wounded, the sight of hun dreds gasping their last, mutilated horses, the blood, the 'sterich-j-Oh 1 these are horrible things to have seen, and to have to remember. I ex plored every part of tha field, and, enemies though they were, ministered to the wants of several .wounded Yankees, by giving them water, and' -providing them wijh shelter against the sun. One; of them invoked blessings on my head. A touching picture which I witnessed was a soldier, surround ed by two or three Others, feading the burial ser vice over a' comrade whom he was bur jing. One most horrible feature of the fight was that the woods on one part of the line were set on fire by shell, and many dead and some poor wounded were burned and consumed. E Bough of these horrent It was, In a word, the great fight and great victo ry of the war, though dearly purchased. And no; troqjps contributed moro to the result than those from North Carolina. " THE ROLL OF INFAMY." The Raleigh Progress, after having been fairly warned that if it did not execute its threat of placing "on the roll of infamy" the name of a "fife eater," or "original seces sionist," who, it alleged, refused to deliver cotton which he had agreed to deliver,and take in payment thereof Confederate money, we now piocecd to utate,. as we promised, the whole transaction J and the names of the par ties': John W. Watson, Esq, of the county of Johnston, an "original secessionist," acting for xhe estate of his deceased brother, and also as the authorized agent of Mr. P.- Rich ardson, of Johnstob eonnty, sold to Mr. Jas. D. PulleD, of this pity, two lots' of cotton, one belonging to the estate he represented, and the other to Mr. Riohardson, whose agent in this transaction he was.

' to the command. It went qobly through Jhe Je- ninsula campaign, and' at tha battle of Seven s Pines, and before Richmond, it did most1 a?3clent V' ! service. At the battle of Seven Pines, It did most 1 . efficient service, and probably suffered. more than i any other regiment engagedhsvin nearly every, . j , . officer wounded and several killed, Itf , Colonel having two horses killed under him, the flag shot".,' ' thirty-seven times, and seven shot lowo while ' bearing: the flsg in a charge, foarof whom ware ' killed, when it was seized by its gallinC Colonel'- carried and. planted upon the captured battery -. and leaving sifter the battle only about one hsn-4 dred men fit for duty. ' Since that battle the rg- ' iment has been reinforced by' about three hundred ' conscripts. . At the late battle on the Bappahio noes:, this regiment was In the thickest bf the fight, and did great damage to the.enemy, bdt paid most i 1 dearly for it. Col. Grimes Went la to the en?t"t - ' ment with three hundred and forty-seven men and twenty-nice officers, and came out Vrfth only flf ty-one men and five officers. The regiment bsald ! to have made feveral smost gallant charges, and 1 ' succeasfully earrjing battetles. , Colon el Grimes. . f wnue; leaaing nu men, received three slls-h wounds, one in the hand, another in tie side, and the third in the foot.

" Tne wound in the foot was quite painful, but not of sufficient : importance to keep him from duty more than two or three day. While waving his Sword It u struck by a ball, and broken off about ken inches from the point. - The sword is now in thbi city: being useless for service, has been sent to a rela tive, andbears truthful evidence of his being in the thickest of the fight. v i ; . j i;.
