In noticing the fact yesterday that a number of Confederate soldiers had declined to avail themselves of a flag of truce to return home, it was stated that a member of Latham's North Carolina battery had absolutely refused to return under any circumstances or inducement. The battery in question was raised in Lynchburg. It may be proper to remark, that a majority of the 170 traitors who openly acknowledged their treason to the flag of the Confederacy by refusing to be paroled, were Northern men or foreigners. This fact stated, the milk in the coconut is readily accounted for.

Our artillery at this juncture came into play, and although the mud baffled human industry, patience, and perseverance, some piece of the Lynchburg (we believe Latham's) Battery got into position, at the entrance to Barker's farm, and played such havoc that the foe deserted their four large brass howitzers, unable to reply. Bud entire camp, with great supplies, and drove the foe two miles beyond their encampment of the morning. The greatest and hottest fire was about 4 P. M., when Latham's and Carter's batteries got into action, supported by the 4th and 5th South Carolina, 1st Virginia, 12th Mississippi, and other regiments. Having many valuablesdge were wounded. These casualties were among the officers alone. The slaughter among the privates was terrific. The Lynchburg Artillery, formerly known as Latham's battery, now commanded by Captain James Dearing, did good service in the fight. The men fought bravely and laid many a Yankee upon the ground.

th, 1862. The city papers have already published imperfect accounts of a battle which took place near Hanover C. H., between a portion of Branch's brigade and the Yankees, commanded, as prisoners state, by the Federal General Martindale. It is not my intention to give in detail any particulates of this battle, except so far as the 28th North Carolina volunteers participated, which regiment was isolated from all other troops, and had no assistance from the brigade except one section of Latham's artillery. On the morning of the 17th instant, General Branch ordered Col. to proceed with his regiment and a second of artillery to Tallisferro's Mill, and at 10 A. M. the regiment moved off from camp in the direction of Hanover C. H. When we had reached the point at which the mill interfered the main county road, near the residence of Dr. Kinney, Col Lane made a halt long enough to converse with some cavalry pickets with reference to the enemy's whereabouts.--We now left the main

incessant fire was also kept up from their batteries inland — Under the circumstances, our forces felt it necessary to retire, having sustained a loss of some thirty or forty killed, wounded, and missing, of whom, we learn, some seven were killed. The fight having been continued from street to street and at different points, it was impossible to estimate the loss of the enemy, but it is reasonably surmised it was much greater than our own. Our men brought off with them three pieces of Latham's battery, which were captured at the battle of Newborn, also some ten or fifteen prisoners. The prisoners captured state that the enemy had been reinforced the proceeding evening by several companies of cavalry, which, of course, operated strongly in their favor. One of the prisoners states that this reinforcement was made in consequence of information received of the meditated attack; while another states that it was preparatory to making a raid into the country on last Sunday.

Latham with one piece of the Kennedy Artillery, proceeded to the mouth of New river to pay her their respects. They arrivedroyed with the steamer. As she was quietly proceeding down the river, on her way out, apparently in no hurry at all, Lieut. Latham opened upon her with his rifled piece, checking her progress, throwing her out of the main channel of the river, and ty in our side, for having but the one piece to contend with she was able to direct her three heavy guns at us, while Lieut.

and died as calmly as a child going to sleep. There has been much praise given to the Washington Artillery and other companies, which they no doubt richly deserve; but, while they are being complimented through the newspapers, would it not be fair to notice some of our Richmond boys, and see what they have been doing?

They were charged upon, and repulsed the charge almost alone, several times during the day at Fredericksburg.--At one time the enemy were within a hundred yards or less of our batteries — so close under the hills on which our guns were that several of them had to be depressed to fire on them; but when we began to send their favorite missiles (canister) at them, they could

In the Senate Sumner said he was authorized to state that his resolutions (recently published) met the approval of the Secretary of State and the Cabinet when they were passed. Carllie, Latham, Powell, Saulsbury and Wall voted against them. The Herald, speaking of Mr. Chase's duty, says: "If Mr. Chase falls it will be his own fault. If the expansion of the currency is permitted now to go on in the same way the whole scheme will collapse in general disaster. If he returns to specie payment himself, and, compelling the banks to do the same thing, then he will have made himself master of the situation. Otherwise, the situation will have made itself master of him. Let h
