Let the order be heard by a regi ment of infantry crowding to the rear in a panic and it will halt the men in their tracks and make richters of thorn arrain. There is something in the companionship of! a iiehl battery that makes a loot soldier braver than when his regi ment fights alone. The guns may be wasting ammunition as they roar and crash, bnt it seems to the regiments on flank or in rear that every discharge is driving great gaps through the enemy's lines. So long as the battery remains the supports will remain. Even when the order is given to uouoie-suot the guns and the infantry can see that half the horses have been shot down, he still carries the feeling that grape and canister will win the victory. The loss of horses, wagons aud small arms is lightly mentioned in official reports and the losers feel no degradation, but let a brigade lose a single gun from one of its batteries, and every sol dier feels the shame. It is next to losing the flag presented to a regi ment as it marched from home. AT MECHANICSVIIXE. . When JMcClellan, in his change of base, took position at Jlechanics ville his left rested near Ellison's mill. For 300 yards in front the ground was open, a part of it being a plowed nei Two hundred teet in front of the Federal lines ran the mill-race, which then had perpen dicular banks and contained four feet of water. Thirty feet back front the race .the Fedora Is had made an abattis of rails, tree tops, limbs and sharpened stake. Then came more than thirty field-pieces in line, and behind them on the slope were infantry supports three lines deep. ... 7; r.v Pender's brigade of D. EL' Hill's command, advanced alone to as sault this position, intending it as a flank movement to torn the Federal left. They had no sooner moved out into the open ground than the artillery had a fulljweerJ at them. Urape, canister ana snort- fased shell were burled at them al most by the ton, and in five minutes. the fonr regiments wlucu Had lett cover in ueautuui order were nttie better than a mob. However, in stead of retreating in a panic, the men dropped to the ground aaAlje- gan a sharp musjeetry pre. xnis was answered by volleys trom te- yond. the mill-race which literally plowed the ground, .fender hong until the assault became a butch ery, ana tnen the order was given torenre. .renders Dngade num bered less than 3,000 men, and yet in-twenty-five minutes its loss was nearly one-sixth of its strength.; It was an exception to find a man who could not show ballet holes through his clothing, and some of the" wounded were hit three and four times. Those who buried the dead said that of the 200 or more killed by the artillery fire at least 175 were so torn and mutilated as to be little better than a bloody mass. - ' As. Pender was driven back he met Ripley's lirigade, of the same command, coming to his support. Lee knew the position, but he must carry it to turn the .Federal left. This second brigade had less than 2,400 men, and, united with Pen der, the total strength was not over 5,000. . Eour times that number could not have made an impression upon that position. When Pender had rallied his men, the two brig ades advanced in column of assault, breaking xver with a cheer and on the doubleqnict. The Federal guns were worked With terrible energy, bajt .nnder cover or the smoke, and by crawling upon hands and knees, the Confederates reached the mill race. Indeed, several hundred of them crossed it. Then, for forty minutes, there was a terrific strug gle. So fierce was the Federal infantry fire over and through the abattis that it was gradually whit tled away. Limbs as largo as a man's arm were barked, chipped and splintered as if lightning had played over them, and the surface of the mill-race was covered with splinters, twigs and leaves. Pender and Ripley could not ad vance beyond the canal in force. They could net long maintain their linos where they were. The lire from the Federals searched every foot of ground, and every minute their lines were melting away. When the order was given to fall back the artillery raked them again as they crossed the open ground, aud when the men finally reached cover the loss of each regiment had become amazing. For instance, the Forty-fourth Georgia, which numbered only about 700 men, lost 33S officers and men. Every field officer was killed, and of the ten captains aud twenty lieutenants, only twelve remained. It was the same with tlitj Third North Caro lina and other regiments. AT FRAZIEC'S FAEM. At Frazier's farm, during tins eventful week, Randall's battery of six pieces was on Mct'lollau's right, and supported by the Fourth I'e."-. sylvania. The front was an (-d field, devoid of shelter, aud the battery was playing into the woods half a mile beyond. This' battery so annoyed the Confederates that a brigade was ordered to charge it. The Eleventh Alabama had the lead, and was to be closely sup ported by the other three regiments. Through some blunder the Alabam- ians, numbering about 7."K, were permitted to advance alone. They were seen as soon as they broke cover, and more than 100 of them were killed by the artillery lire as they advanced across the field. The men were thrown into disorder one moment to be rallied the next, and, finally, with muskets at a trail and caps swinging iu the air, they made a rush straight upon the gnus. As they came near the lVnnsylvanians rose up and delivered two or three volleys right into them. These were returned, and then the final rush was made. In a minute a wild mob was swirling 'round and 'round the guns bayonets drink- ing blood clubbed muskets felling men the wounded staggering up to . clutch an enemy and pull him down. The guns were won. The Fourth Avas pushed slowly back, but as the cheers of the Alabamians drowned the noise of the battle to the right and left, the Seventh Pennsylvania came to the support of the Fourth. The fight which now took place was witnessed by at least two gen erals and half a dozen colonels, out side of the hundreds in the ranks. It was two regiments to one, bnt the Alabamians had won the gnus aud were determined to hold them. Not a single company formed in line not an officer had a command. Two thousand mad and infuriated men rushed at each other with murder in their hearts. No one asked for quarter no one gave it. At the end of twenty minutes the Fennsylvauians gave way, not overpowered by numbers but pressed back by such dare devil fighting as nobody had ever wit nessed before. The guns had been taken, but there were no horses, to draw them away. The captors were making arrangements to draw them away when there was a rally on the part of the Federals. The smallness of the Confederate force suddenly became plain as the smoke lifted, and beforo a gun could be moved hot fire was opened irom whole brigade, followed by charge. The Alabamians were picked up and hurled back in a broken mass, and the last 'of them had not reached the woods before the guns were again playing upon them. The loss of the Confederate regimeut was over 150 men, 100 of whom, including eight company commanders, died around the bat tery. M. Quad. GENERAL NEWS.

"llalph; the fifteen-minute bell is ringing." "Not going to school to-day." His mother said nothing more. How could she send a boy to school who had had but half a breakfast, and who was out at elbows, knees and toes. But the father, who, more sober than usual, lounged around the door, roused hiniselt at the boy's words. "Not going to school, eh ! How long since you came to be your own master. If that's the way you ap preciate your privileges, it's high time you lost them. Might as well stop school, any way ; yon don't learn anything." "Beckon 1 could if I had half a chance," said the boy, looking dis contented at his rags. "I haven't another patch lett to mend your clothes with," said his mother, sadly. "Oh, it isn't your fault ; no one blames you, mother," said Ralph quickly. ""I s'pose that means that 1 am to blame for everything that oughtn't to be'. A boy of thirteen ought to be able to earn himself a suit of clothes, to say nothing of his bread and butter." "Lots of good it would do to me to earn anything," muttered Ralph, sullenly. Usually he would not have dared to say so much in his father's presence, but this morning he hardly cared what he did or what might follow. Usually, too, he would have paid dearly for such a speech, but now Mr. Allen only said : "You're an impudent young ras cal, but seeing I haven't done as wen by you as 1 might, I'll make a bargain with you. Every cent you can earn you may have bnt not a bite to eat, nor a rag to wear be sides. Do you understand f Now be off and see what you're worth." "All right," answered Ralph, picking up his ragged hat. "You won't go out of town?" said his mother anxiously as he passed out. "No, not without letting you know," he answered from outside the gate. From simple force of habit, and without any definite pur pose, he took the road to the school house, and round himselt at the aoor just as the noisy troop were entering. "Might as well go in, too," he said to himself, and he did. But his book remained unopened, and when his class was called he sat still in his seat. His teacher was sure from his look that he was sick or in trouble, and knowing some thing about his home lite thought best to pay no attention at the time. At recess, however, she went and sat down beside him. "No lessons to day, Ralph!" she asked pleasantly. "Not coming to school any more." "Why, how is that?" "Got to earn my own living." "Oh, work, is it; well that's not a bad excuse for leaving school. What are you going to do?" "That's what I've got to find out. Don't know yet." "Then the first thing is what can vnn iln?" "Not much of anything; never had half a chance to learn," and he looked enviously at Louis Haten, who was passing through the room -a boy of his own age, well dressed and well fed, well furnished with all a school boy could ask. Miss Lee followed the direction of his glance. Why, Ralph." she said, "I think you have a better chance than Louts for making a man of yourself." "Don't see how that can be." "Can you swim?" Ralph looked up very much astonished. He was an expert swimmer, but he did not see how that would help him in try ing to make something of himself. "I can that," he auswered em. phatically. "Did you learn by having some one hold on to you all the time, keeping you out of deep water?" "Guess a fellow wouldn't learn much that way. Had to go it my self." "Then why isn't it better to 'go it yourselfj'inotherthings? Haven't you a better chance than a boy who has everything done for htm, who: is always, as lar as possible, koptj out of danger, never allowed to ! make effort enough in any direc- j tion, to tire'him? j "Never thought of that before," i said Ralph. And while he thought ; of it his teacher thought of some-1 thing else. "Will you carry a note to Mr. Scott for me':" she asked. " Yes'm," answered Ralph promptly, lie had carried notes before, and hatl a pleasant remem brance of bright nicklcs and bright- or dimes that found their way into his pocket on these occasions. So the note was written and carried, aud while Mr. Scott read it Ralph looked earnestly out of the window at a huge pile of coal 011 the side walk. "Young man," said the trustee suddenly, making Ralph start, "do you know the contents of this note?" "No, sir," said Ralph trufhl'ully. "Your teacher tells me your are, in want of work, and recommends you for the vacant place of janitor in the Holly Street building. Do you think you could manage to keep those rooms swept and dust ed, to have them warm by school time, and see that everything is in order at night i" "I'd like to try it," said Ralph. 'And be responsible for every thing that's broken or stolen?" The boy's face lengthened. "S'pose there's keys?" "Plenty of them." Reckon if I locked e very t h i n g st ra i gh t, broke in 'twould't be up mil mil Inirt! left hirs I". V anv of look out." How hmg do you suppose yon will stick to it?" 'Likely, till J find better work." 'Well, sir, we will try you. Miss Lee offers to give you directions.'' And he scratched off a reply. Ralph took it, and hesitating a Utile, asked the question of all im portance to him. 'How much will 1 get?" "Two dollars a week through the " fall and winter, and one through THE BOY the warm weather. Docs that suit you?" "Y'es, sir, much obliged. How often will I get paid?" "We generally pay once a mouth, but if you need the money we can let you have it every Saturday for a while." "Thank ye," said Ralph; but there were five days before Satur day and he was hungry already. "Want your coal put somewhere?" he asked alter a moment's pause. ''Well, it is rather out of place on the sidewalk. Would vou like the job?" "Yes, sir, would that!" "Very well; deliver your note and then come back aud go to work;" and the boy lost no time "As he handed the answer to Miss Lee, he told her of the waiting coat pile. "That's a good beginning," she said smiling, "and this will do for starting capital," and she laid iu 111s nana, not a nickle, not a dime, 0111 a sinning nail uoilar. "And this," she continued, covering the coin with a dainty card, "Is a mot to to Help you along.'' On the card Ralph road: "God helps the man who helps himself." The boy looked, rather than spoke, his thanks, but he did say, "If I'm ever ot any account, Miss Lee, it will all be owing to you." A loat ol brown bread and a slice of cheese took ten cents from the precious half dollar, but it gave the boy strength to handle a shovel well, aud when he went to the school-house to learn his new round of duty, another half dollar jingled witlrthe lour dimes in his pocket. How rich he felt as ho went down the street to lay out a part of his wealth in something for the table at home. A peck of corn meal, a good sized soup bone, another loaf of bread, larger this time, and a pint of milk in a five-cent bucket, and still there was money in his pocket. "Mush and milk lor sup per, bread and soup for dinner to morrow. Hurrah! Believe I have a chance after all." That was the beginning. Ralph is a man now, prosperous and re spected. His mother, hopeful and happy; looks after the pleasant home of her son's providing; his father, quiet and sober, makes the little garden spot bring forth its best for the always well-filled table; and over the mantel, in Ralph's own room, hangs in a tasteful frame the motto that has directed and encouraged his efforts since the morning when hediscovered where in lay his chance for making a man of himself. Baptist Family Maga zine. Not the House. A day or two ago a well dressed man, who had taken three or four drinks too much, was weaving around and falling down and get ting up on Montcalm street, when along came a kind-hearted citizen who asked: "Where do you want to go?" "Waz go home," was the reply. "How far is it?" "Noz f'r; I'll show you." They walked along in company for a block or two, when the ine brate suddenly paused and said. Zish er place." "You reconize it, do you?" "Shurtiuly shurtinly. I'm 'er greatest recognize in Detroit." He was assisted up the front steps, and as the door happened to be ajar he was helped into the hall. Here his knees gave out and he fell iu a heap and his patron left. The latter had not gone half a block, however, when he heard a great hnbub behind him, and lie turned to discover the drunkard rolling down the stepsr followed by a pail of water and a coal-scuttle. While he stood and stared a servant girl came down the steps with a broom in hand, waved it over bor head and shouted- "Y'ou leave another drunkard in our house and I'll have you where the dogs can't bite you." And the man lying on his back on the walk opened his eyes iu a dreamy way and replied: "I'm 'er greatest recognizer in Detroit! I recognize zhat I live 'bout four blocks furzer on."

Whitaker, has several little re minders to viaitors posted in his olHce, asking his good visitors to "please not npit on the floor." If vou wish to get into an argument of a very lengthy nature, just pay Tren ton a visit on some public day and hint to our people that you nro in favor of the No-Kcnce law. Mr. B. B.

A gentleman of our county says that if Abner Dawson was to travel about a little more he would find that other peo ple were raising potatoes in Jones coun ty as well as Abner, for Jhh. ('.Moore had he knew, the largest in the county, for Moore had not tried a hand-saw to cut them in twain: he supposed that a I cross-cut saw would answer to cut them. I would like to enquire of Abner if the I potatoes pushed the fence outwardly or inwardly; our fences are pushed in-1 wardly. The potatoes attracted the force inwardly, but the real cause was, a rotten fence and an old black sow and i her pigs. Would it not he better for us j all to hare Ivttrr fences or none at all than to have such as smiie of our colored , people hae? Aid sunie bite people too are very careless, ami depend on their guns and dogs for a fence. For Dysit.pma. Indkikstio.n.
