HEROIC CORPUS.
A good deal is said about heroic Yicksburg, and
very justly said in praise of that city. But we have
a little Texas village that certainly should not be
overlooked in the roll of fame.
Corpus Christi is defended by three insignificant
guns, and a handful of men. For months the Fed-
eral fleet o : tha-. coast has been making demon-
strations at her harbor, endeavoring to obtain a
lodgment upon shore, and threatening the destruc
tion of the town. These operations have been
steadily met by our people and resisted success-
fully at all points. Tho other day the enemy
brought up several vessels before the town to. de-
stroy it. They bombarded it two days with their
heavy guns, but were finally driven off by the
shore battery, thus again proving that gunboats
are bugaboos. A few days after the enemy at-
tempted lo cut up some shindies on shore, first
having shelled the whole country, to make sure
there were no Confederates about. There was a
small force of our men concealed there, who re-
mained quiet, and were not to be frightened by
shells. At last the commander of the fleet, think-
ingthe coast clear, mae'e a landing iu a launch.
No so -ner was it done than a polite Confederate
Captain stepped up to him.passed the compliments
of the morning, and took him prisoner right under
the puns of his fleet! \
Corpus and its brave defenders have distin-
guished themselves, and deserve no little credit
for what they have done.
JCp The amount of ragged county notes afloat
is a great nuisance. Counties desiring to keep
their currency afloat should provide for the ex-
change of ragged notes for good ones, not only at
home but in this city. Very many of them are
printed on miserable wrapping and tissue paper,
and passing rom hand to hand veiy soon become
ruined. Some of these tissue paper issues are
made payable four, five and ten years hence. They
cannot possibly last a year in general circulation.
All such the people will soon learn to refuse. They
have too much the appearance of design. Iu all
paper issms a certain percentage Is a'ways lost
and never returns to the issuer. But in those re
ferred to, the percentage that ever/will be pre.
sented for payment, is very small. Unless means
of exchange are provided, this class of notes
will v^f> speedily disappear from want of confi-
dence in them. The State should also provide for
the exchange or redemption of all its ragged war-
rants. It will not be long before every one will
refuse all representatives of money that are not in
a reasonably sound > ondition.

THE GALLANT
The rccent battles in Northeastern Virginia hare
borne heavily 011 Texas again, and we have to
mourn, among others, two of our best citizens
Col. J. B. Robertson ami Maj. D. M. Whaley, of
the 5th Regiment.
Col. Robertson was one of the best citizens of
the State, and one of the noblest hearted men we
ever knew. No man in the army was Inore be-
loved by his troops than he. No man could have
been more attentive to their wants and comforts.
Col. Robertson was among our oldest citizen-,
and held during his citizenship many places 01
honor and trust in the Government. He was al-
ways a firm yet conservative Stale Rights man.
yielding to no one in his devotion to his principles
and always acting upon the dictates of those prin
ciples. On the assembling of the Convention of
rGl he was among the most influential members:
and during the recess of the Convention was 0110
of the Committee of Safety whose acts resulted in
so much advantage to the State and the Con-
federacy.
When the two regiments were called for io go to
Virginia, he raised a company in Washington
county, which joined the 5tli just as it was march-
ing. After the regiment arrived at Richmond, he
was elected Lt. Colonel, and on the promotion of
the gallant Ilood, he succeeded to the Colonelcy
of the regiment.
We had occasion to know, last winter, how he
was esteemed by the men of that command. We nev-
er heard a man more highly spoken of, and more
worthily beloved. He fell in one of tho engage-
mentsoflhe 23th, 29th and 39th. As yet we know
not which. We do know, however, that he must
have fallen as a brave man only could fall, llis
country wi'l place his name among her nios? hon-
ored dead.
Maj D. M. Whaley fell in a skirmish e n the
Rapidan. Maj. Whaley also was a highly respect-
ed and much beloved citizen of the section where
he lived. He was at the date of secession we be-
lieve a member for his second term of the State
Senate. He also raised a company for the 5th
Regiment, the celebrated Leon Hunters, and con-
tinued to command them until June last, when he
was promoted to be Major of the regiment.
Maj. Whaley was a m.n of small stature, but ev-
ery inch a whole souled man. He was a brave and
gallant soldier, and a public spirited and patriotic-
citizen. Honor lo his memory.
What shall we say of the loved and lost of the
ran'f and file, of whom so many must have fallen
on those dreadf.sl days ? How many families of
Texas ere made desol te by these battles ? We
know nothing yet of the losses. We hope they are
few. There must hare Iven some. Who shall tell
the heart-bleeding and lamentation which the
dreaded list of dead must awaken 1 It is indeed
terrible to think of. We know ourfriends are dead
on the field of immortal honor Let their fame
and honor be cherished by all survivors. The
whole State claims the privilege of mourning ove
their sacred ashes.

THE BATTLES ON HA ASS AS PLAINS.
t.1ST of CASUALTIES IN TIIE 4TII AND OTII TEXAS REO
IKES is IN TIIE BATTLES OF TI1E29TII AND 30 iii oi
AUGUST, 1SC2.
The following lists of casualties in the 4<h an«
5th Texas Regiments have been furnished to us to
publication, it will be seen that the galiant 5tl
Texas suffered very severely. We are in forme*
that it encountered a Regiment of Zouaves, whicl
Mr.Z L. Nerill, of La Grange, will leave that
place on the st of October, stopping at Mr. -.1-
lieck's.in Washington county, and at Na>asota,and
will take to the « erry & Lubbock Rangers all
horses an packages of clothing that may be lef;
at these place for them. He writes us that he al-
ready has quite a number of horses, and th.-re is
do mistake al out his coing.
Persons desirous of sending horses jjwwtrfmve
them on h nd al the time and_pHce«- They must,
also, provide an amount of money necessary lo
pay the exnp^es o f Uks horses for the trip of prob-
ably 25 or 30 days. Those wishing to send cloth-
ing must have it well packed iu packages of 30 lb s,
and for every two \> ticks, a pack-saddle must be
furnished. It is thought that, perhaps, a contri-
bution of—say one dollar per pound for the packs
will about pay the expenses of the horses.
We would suggest that horses and packs should
be sent to some reliable merchant in Navasota.
Mr. Nevill undertakes to^go through with the trair
without charge for his servicos. Those who desire
to avail themselves of this opportunity, should
make his trouble as little as possible. We have no
doubt h will have a very good caballado by the
ime he gets to the Trinity.
CO- We have once or twice published the pro-
cess of making saltpetre from under floor earths.
As there are now two or three powder nulls in
thi= State, and all of them wantirg saltpetre , we
urge upon the people the importance of going to
work and supplying th m. With a little effort,
enough saltpetre can be supplied by the domestic
industry of the country to keep all these mills
employed. The pr sent price of saltpetre makes
i*8 production exceedingly profitable.
We received a rumor lust Saturday that Capt.
Kittrv'go had 1 • -c tah..< prisoner. Not being
able to trace it to a cer'a n channel, we did not
publish it. V e r ceive«t. however, confirmation
y eater-lay ^ He- t ; ptored by Capt Wier, with
15 or 16 partizai rangers, at some place near St
Mary or Shell Bank. He commanded the block-
ers off Corpus Bay, and had made himself pecu
li-rly obnoxious by bis m nner of carry ng on the
war in tha quarter.
There is a daily express Hue of coaches
now b>-ing run by those unrivalled stage men,
Sawyer. Risher & Hall, from Navasota to Shreves-
po t. Through tickets may be had at Houston or
Navasota, at the Railroad offices.
The papers fairly teem with matters of in
terest we should be glad to j;ublish. We wish
when sitting down to cull from a batch of papers
that we bad a stock of paper that would justify iu-
dulgence in a double or quadruple .-beet. We could
fill one that vould cover an acre, now then Is it
possible to confine on:selves to ihe few square
inches we have* We try to give the cream, but
it is all cream. Oh for a thousand reams of print-
ing papyri What would we not give for it.
If / Few men have the privilege of reading
their own o ituary, though we opine very many
would be glad to know what will be said of them
after they are dead. Our friend,Col. Robertson,
of the 5lh Texa ,may thank the reliable gentleman
for our opinion <fhim. We are very glad that :he
obituary was premature, though we fear his native
modesty will suffer when he sees it. Living or
dead, there are few bettor men anywhere.
The San Antonio Herald of tha 20th inst. says:
An express to Gen. Bee arrived in this city yes-
terday from Corpus Chriett, with the news that the
Federals were about to renew their attack on that
place,a number of vessels having arrived in the
bay. We trust our brave boys will treat them as
they did before.
A gentleman who has just arrived from Corpus
Christi, informs us that a detachment from the
Federal fleet off that place was sent to destroy the
salt-works in that neighhorhoood, and that they
were surroundtd *nd captured by our cavalry,
who ha 1 been apprised of their movements. The
prisoners will i e here in a few days.
Since writing the above, we have had the satis-
faction-*^ seeing ... live kicking Yankee commo-
dore of the fleet off Corpus Chris i. Hurrah ! for
the gallant boy* about Corpus Cbri t:! !—San
Antonio iVfic ,2
Reliable intelligence received yesterday even-
ing says that on Sunday last, Capt. Kittredge, of
the Yankee fleet at Aransas, after hating shelled
the Flower Bluffs lor three hours, went ashore
with eight men, wheu he was surrounded by Capt.
Wale's cavalry. Capt. W. tapped him oa the
should er, saying, "Captain, I am jJadto st-e you.'
They were marched to Corpus Christi, in short or-
der, where they are being accommodated in be-
coming style.— Goliad Jlie3t,engtrtl£th.

Dear Sir : 1 have only time to say that the list
of casualties in the Gvh regiment in the battle of
the 29th, is 2'^ killed and wounded. We took b
guns, 2 batteries, and three, stai d «.f colors. We
in-1 baud to ha id the ath New York Zouaves HM)
strong, routed them, killing « n the field over 4U0.
As has been the case in the other battles, our brig-
ade got sc >tte ed t- r the w ant of a Brigadier Gen-
eral. Ilood wa* off, putting in other biigades. My
v- ound is troubling me s««nie, but 1 will not have to
leave the regiment. My truss saved my life.—
1 here is n-jl half a dozen men in ihe regiment
whose clothes do not show the mark of balls. 1
ill send a li-t of casualties as soon as I can. Col.
Upto. is killed, and Capt. Cleveland mortally
wounded. Our flag has 23 holes through it and 2
through the ^aff Seven flag bearers were shot
down. The wounded are being sent to Warrentou,
We move forward to-morrow. J. B. Robertson.

All Union men, semi-L'nion men, and traitors,
who wish to enjoy a rich feast of e oquence from a
prove and tried Union man, can be accommodat-
ed by beine present at the Lyceum Hall this
(Wednesday) evening at 7 o^cloc*. The Hon.
Andrew Jackson Hamilton, of Texas, having beeu
driven from hi- hon-e l y a mi itary mob, Is now in
this citi. and wil deliver an address at the lime
and place abov in >icated.
Those who are familiar with the evrnts that oc-
curred at Washington City duri g the sittingsol
the last Congress under the administration of one
James Buchanan, will remember the burning elo-
quence of Col. Hamilton denouncing Secession
and Treason. He returned to Texas and fough
treason there until forced to leave the Stale. Go
and hear him.
IO3 Among the casualties in the Bayou City
Guards iu the late battles, we are deeply pained to
find the names of two of our printers, to wit—
Dempsy Walker, mortally wounded, and T. W.
Fitzgerald, wounded. Walker was a young man
of steady and indusirious habits, of good heart,
and brave. He learned the printing business in
our office, and had been here forfive years. lie
left wheu the 5th regiment was made up, and
has ever since b. en on duty in his company, gain-
ing no little credit for daring on vari -us oscasions.
He is much lamented in the circle of his acquaint-
ance. We hope to hear that Fitzgerald's wound is
not serious.
IXIr'The Georgia people are doing wonders in
the way of clothing for ffie entire army : as we are
informed by Mr. W. L. Hilton, an inelligent gen-
tleman, late from that S ate. Ilia opinion is, that
the entire Confederate army need enter ain no
apprehension respecting clothing, except the army
in Arkansas, perhaps. Blankets, however, wil be
very scarce. This gentleman is now purchasing
wool iu Texas for Georgia.
Hides, which are frequently thrown away in
Texas, are worth 40gl50cts dry in Atlanta.
Large qtanlitics of caudlis are also mauufac*i
tared.
There are in Atlanta $3,000,00^ worth ofVir-t
giniatobacco, forsalo at from prices from 45 to!

independent of any oilier resources. Corn crop

Washixuton, September 5.—From careful cal-
culations, it is believed that the entire number of
wounded iu the rt ci nt bugles will not exceed tix
thousand; killed.one thousand, and two thous-
and prison-rs, i rincipally picked up by the ene-
my while stiaggliug, and whorwith the exception
of the officers, have been paroed.
These are examples of the disp-tch s of that
day. From one circumstance judge all. Gen.
Lee, we know, tells the truth. Py the ls-stof ihe
above extracts the killed, wounded and prisoners
amount to 9,000. of which 2,000 were prisoners.
Well, on the 1st, Lee says he captured and pa-
rolled 7.MJU prisoners. Taking a like proportion
for the balane- of tho statement of the Federals,
aud tho total must reach over XJ.Ot'-O imen. The
Federals must have forgot that Taylor's and Sick-
le's brigades alone lost nearly the amount they
now allow their whole army to have lost.

Irue allegiance to the United States; that you will

The gravity of both partita while it s being ad-

Extra Billy Smith is no martinet. He com-

Richmond, when ball and shell were raining in a
perfect torrent upou his position. Extra Billy w ho
sat on his horse as calm and unmoved as if on an
ordinary parade, saw as he thmght, an opporiu-
j nity for a successful charge upon a battery with a
pretty strong infantiy suppoit, and called out to

The boys went in with a rush, Iheir br->ve leader
at their head, and did "stick 'em" until not
few lay stretched in the agonies of death upon the
gory ground.
Seventy-four deser-ers from Pipe's~~army ar-
test was fearful, as tht result proved; hundredsof
Ihe gallanUPexTans have lal en a prey to the tiro
of the dastard foe. The chief loss ou this occasion
>ras sustained by the 5tli.
Al West Point the 1st suffered heaviest, and
bore the brunt of the battle. A Gaines' Mill the
chivalrous " Fourth " had its ranks thinned by tlie
dreadful dre of the enemy, and sustained a very
heavy loss. The Fiflrs tarn foliows, as her re-
cord proves ; they would not have had or desired
it otherwise, c«-uld it even have been so avoided.
To extol their brave deeds, iu language, is almost
an impossibility ; a simiie to illustrate ilieir Leroic
conduct cau hardly be drawn; the vocabulary of
qualifications is wanting iu words sufficiently
strong to te 1 nt their b avery . My l-tter, of a few
days back, will give you all the infjrmution de-
sired respecting our movements up to ihe day
previous to the beginning of this great coutest.
After considerable skirmishing, the Brigade was
fairly ushered into the light at or near 1- o'clock.
lt is difficult to to tell what transpires, except in
the vicinity of our regiment; and as you will,
have no dotbt, r< ceivj a number of ieiters from
parties in the other regiments, I shall, toacer
lain exteiil, confine my remarks lo the 5th. The
regiment was pitted, as it wt re, against the 5th
New York, the crack regiment of Zouaves, all of
them tastefully gotten up. regardless of expense,
admitted as lii.c looking a body of rien as tue eye
could desire to gaze on. thry reminded one of so
many Cupar's athietic Romans. '1 lie brigade was
put iuto the fight, and thvj Fifth advanced in lim
of battle through a smail skirt of wood, concealed
in which.were the enemy's skn mishers ; alter their
skirmish'rs were driven iu, which was done in an
incrcdinle short space of time, the regiments came
upon the supports.
There they were, a beautiful liue o bluejack-
ets, red pants and tasseled caps ; a splendid regi
inent, numbering £00 good and effective men. Tne
firing commenced, and lor a few moments was
continued at long range, when the ever welcome
word came to "Charge.'' With the same fierce
and terrible yell that characterized the.r move
mcnis ; tGaines' Mill, they rushed to the charge.
The firing ceased for a moment, Wuile the regi-
ment m-tde for the ranks of ttie loe. It was truly
tearful and sublime, but time was not allowed to
contemplate the sc ne. Tho enemy rohervcJ Iheir
fire, while the boys rushed towards them; they
are now within 7 or 8 paces, and ail are pre]>ared
for a desperate bayonet fight, wheu suddenly
deafening fire of musketry is heard, 'and our poor
regiment seems to have melied ; but, notwith-
standing this terrible fire, on they wtnt, those
that were left, and the enemy, disheartened at not
checking them, and unable to reload, aud unwil-
ling lo risk a hand to hand encounter, turned and
run. T'i.eu it was that the Endehlers proved de
sTUCtion. The Yankees fly. panic stricken, and
at least 400 lie dead v. ithiu tlu- space of 3U0 yards.
Every man took deliberate aim, and each shot
went home. Bat a few (v-ry few) of this regiment
escaped uuscathed—possibly 50—tho rest were cut
to pieces
The regiment pushed forward, firing and bay-
on fting, meetii g new lines and charging through
them ; this chase was continued probably 2 miles
when the halt was made ; the Texans hud mad
euroe in.the lines, and il was necessary to halt.—
The Brigade wa s wilhouta commander, as Gen
eral Ilood commanded tho division,and left his
boys to takoj care of themselves. The result of
the lighting may be summed up as foliows: ^ ba;
teries (b guus),3 stand of colors, w ith pretty mot-
toes, eagles, -tars, etc., and several hundred pris-
oners. The glorious tiag was th it of tLe Loue Star,

have risen with brickbats and shotguns, and ate
putting down the 3,000 U. S. troops under General

on the city but from fear were not turned loose.
The Ballimorcuus say that they believe that the

Furthermore, that the Mary landers have destroy-
ed the briuges on the Phi adelphlaaud Baltimore

And finally, that Gen. Lee's headquarters are

ishments.
Gen. Pope ha* come to grief with his own
troops. is pretentious address on going into Vir-
ginia, coupled with his subsequent performances
have rendered him the butt of all the ridicule
the Federal soldiers have the heait tc culti-
vate. McDowell, too, it is said, has proved him
self utterly incapable as a military man.
The Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Tim-3 puts Leo's force at between 200,000 and
250.C00 men. He gives Lee credit for completely
out generating Pope, and hays that e\ery day
siuce Lee h-id crossed the Rappahannock there
had been a battle and a rebel victory. He &ays
that Lee has established himself impregnably at
Centrevillo Heights, eighteen miles from Wash-
ington. He says, further, if Washington ever was
or ever will be in danger it w^s just then, lie sajs
Lee liasbut to say the word, and he cau have 350,-
000 troops there. Against these he fears to recount
the Federal weakness. Terrible losses have des
troyed their army. Kearney, Stevens, Fletcher,
Webster, and hosts ot others of tho very best offi-
cers. w«re killed. Their new recruits are all
utterly undiscipliued. On the whole, the corres-
pondent would lead us to expect that nothing
could possibly save Washington. *4The maguifi
cent strategy of Gen. Lee " continues to be " be-
yond all praise."

Pope's dispatch about Jackson flying to the

a good deal of ridicule iu the Confederate States
as well as no liltle cursing iu Federaldom. it was
at least characteristic.

be kind enough to see to it that Gen. Stuart's rebel
cavatry are kept out of our lines t The rebels
have learned more of Ihe number ami position of
our army from Gen. Pope's private and official pa-
pers than they could from all the newspaper cor-
respondents in the country."
The railroads of the other States held a conven-
tion at Columbia,>. C-, oil the 4th inst. Rates
adopted were, 1st clas-i, C5e. per 100 lbs- for 100

quest of the President not to permit government
officers to interiere with the loading or the running
of trains, such interference having proveddetri
mental both to the government and lo the roads.
The late victories have at last caused a settle-
ment to be talked ab< ut in the North. The New

McCiellau, Burnside and Pope are defeated, then

pointment and sorrow*

Gen. rurtis is still retained in command of the

We take the following from the Grenada Ap-
peal :
"We have information from a ^11 informed
and truthful geutleinan at Memphis, that cer.ain
parties have left that city for Texas, having in their
possession half a million o counterfeit notes, Jur-
nished from the North. Their purpose is to lay
litem out in the purchase of cattle, which will be
driven North through Kansas and Missouri to the
prair;es of Illinois. We have no doubt but that
the Federal authorities are at the bottom of Ihe
scheme, and will, if necessary, aid iu the transit
of the flock on the rome named. We hope this
tit tice will reach some of our old Texas acquain-
tances in time to prevent .he execution of the en-
terprise."
It is said that four of 111.; brothers P*yne have
been arrested, and three trunks belonging to thein
bad been examined, aud three hundred thousa d
dollars of the spurious Treasury notes had been
found. Steps had been taken lo arr st the whole
concern.

Alexandria, Va.,Sept. 2.—The dead, the dying
and tiie wouuded, still crowd the streets of Alex-
andria. Thousand* have already been sent to the
hospitals in Washington and to the cities of the
North. Ten, fifteen, twenty thousand, will hardlv
cover our loss iu the late battles. From an ofiicer
of high character,aud who participated in all the
battles of last week, I le«ru that our dead are
actual! v lying in heaps by the side of th" Orange
and Alexandria railroad, near Manassas Junction,
and fill the ditches around the forts erected hy
B auregard. The proportion of the dead will out-
number those of any other battles during the war.
Rebel and national soldiers lie together w ilh their
bayonets locked in the de-i h grapple. But few of
the dead have yet been buried. Their bodies lie
festering iu the sun, and the reb 1 army, in their
eagernes-! to follow up their victory, w ill not take
time locast a few shovels full of ear li over them.
Our army has again fallen back—this time almost
within th- forests around Washington. The body
' 'en. Kearney was this morning sent to our lines
under a llagof iruce. It. was not recognized until
ufter daylight, and the rebels, in order to com, e us
to admit lliat they occupied the battle ground, g u-
erously gave it up.
Alter tiie late battles at Manassas the Federals
were so badly scare 1 as to tell the truth about their
lo-s«-s, and Pope even admitted a loss of i;,000,
while correspondents put it at « v« r WHl. By the |
