ing a fire of musketry, which would have been very disastrous to our men. This charge was a brilliant and gallantly made one, and gave the Yankees a foretaste of what they may expect when the general engagement takes place. Reynolds's and Brown's brigades distinguished themselves by their heroic and firm conduct while under a terrific fire. So severe was the fire, and so thick did the Minnie balls fly about, that almost instantaneously, Colonel Trigg, commanding Reynolds's brigade, Capt Mathews, A A G, Capt J H Jossey, a gallant son of Georgia, and Lieut Patton, all of Reynolds's staff, and gallant and chivalrous officers, had their horses shot under them. Capt Whitfield of the same staff had his right arm paralysed by a blow on the shoulder from a piece of spent shell. In Brown's brigade, Capt H J Cheney, A A G, and Lieut J T Brown, A D C, had their horses shot while gallantly charging the enemy's works, and Capt G H Lowe, of the same staff, received a Minnie ball through his

In the morning, about half-past 6 o'clock, four boxes of it was recovered by Mr. J. H.

In this bag n, formerly a city watchman, who discovered, as he was going through Exchange alley, a Federal soldier having in his possession a bag, which the fellow dropped upon seeing him. In this bag were three boxes of the stolen tobacco, and further on was one other box of the same lot. This portion of Messrs. Butler & Mathews's stolen tobacco has been returned to them. Robberies are of nightly occurrence, and we recommend to merchants the propriety of always having some one to sleep in their stores.
