tzers and the Thomas Artillery are very nearly alike; the credit, therefore, is justly due to that gallant little band, the Thomas Artillery, who, for seven hours, under the range of the enemy's battery, stood bravely by their guns, pouring shot thick and fact, and with good effect, into the enemy's ranks, firing, as I understand, seven hundred and odd shot. Their ammunition being exhausted, they were ordered to retire, which they did in good order, having sustained a loss of two killed--Lieut. Macon and private John B. Dixon; and five wounded--Serg't Massenburg, Corp'ls. Thos. McCurdy and Topp, privates Waller and Davidson; the battery a loss of an ammunition chest, of one caisson, (which was struck by one of the enemy's shells and blown up,) twenty-five horses, killed, wounded and missing. They arrived, after a forced march from Winchester under Gen. Johnston, on the battle-field about eight o'clock Sunday morning, without food for men or horses, and remained near the field of

ated, it has been encamped in sight of this place, repairing as rapidly as possible damages sustained by the battery during that engagement, to be ready whenever ordered to take a hand in any fighting which shall come off. There is no news of particular interest here just now. All our troops are in fine spirits, ready and anxious to meet the presumptuous invaders of our soil. Yesterday our company held an election to fill a vacancy caused in the lieutenancy by the death of our lamented Macon. Lieutenant E. J. Anderson was promoted to junior first lieutenant, and James Massenberg, formerly orderly sergeant, was elected with almost unanimity to the office of second lieutenant, (a compliment well deserved by him for his soldierly qualities and the exercise of untiring zeal and energy in perfecting the drill of the company as Orderly) Mr. Frederick Hopkins succeeds him, and I have no doubt, under his supervision and attention, the efficiency of the company will be promoted.

The old North State. The Hon. Mr. McKay, of North Carolina, addressed the late Macon Commercial Convention. From his remarks we take the following: Well, sir, while I may boast of what my State has done, I may boast of what the Southern Confederacy is determined to do. I may be pardoned if I take up a few moments of your time in showing you what the city I hail from has already done, and is doing, for the cause of the Southern Confederacy.--While I cannot say, as has been remarked by a gentleman from Charleston, that his city was first in this great cause, I may say, certainly say, that she is second to no other.--Sir, in the city of Fayetteville we captured 40,000 stand of arms that were used in almost all our battle-fields, having been supplied to soldiers from Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Virginia, and, I think, Mississippi. Well, sir, after securing these arms, what else have we done? My city, on the vote of the Ordinance of Secession, did not appear to do

Anderson's majority 536. To-day a serious accident occurred at the railroad depot in this place. As the Orange and Alexandria train was backing down the track, a negro man belonging to Mrs. Macon drove his team across the track, when he was killed and his wagon mashed up the mules and horses were borne down but not killed. The team was returning from the West, where it had been impressed to aid in transporting provisions for the army. The Mayor and Aldermen of the corporation have appropriated $800 for the benefit of the Albemarle Rifles and Monticello Guards, two of our town companies now at Centreville.
