Murat sustained his high reputation on
thin occasion, and proccJ himself, for the
hundredth time, worthy of the great con
fidence Najsulcon placed in him. Nothing
could be mors imposing than th battle
field at this moment. Konaparle and ine
ne i i at i i s moment, ixtiiiipjino mm .u--
Kmi.ire trembled :n the bdanc-, while
E at prepared to lead down his cavalry
, atV.h in. Seventy squadrons, mak.
ing in all U,fMMt well mounted men, be
gan to move over the slope, with theUhl
Guard marcliing sternly behind.
, Honaparte, it is saio1, vris moie agitated
t this ci iis than when, a moment before,
he was so near being captured by the Ltis
tians. Hut as he saw those seventy squad
rons eome down on a plunging trot, pres
ing hard after the w hite plume of Murat,
that streamed through the snow storm
tar in front, smile passed over his coun
tenance. 5 The earth groaned and trembled as they
tiftsspd. and the sabres love the bark and
anjrrv mass below looked like the foam of.
sea wave as its crest breaks on the ueep.
The rattling of their armor and the muf
fled thunder of their tread drowned all
the roar of tho battle, as with firm, set
may, nnd swift, steady notion they bore
down with their terrible front on the foe.
The f-hock of that immense host was
like a falling mountain, nnd the front
hue ol the Russian army tell like frost
work before it. Then commenced a pro
tracted fight of hand to hand, nnd sword
to sword, as in the cavalry action at h
imihi. The clashing of steul was like the
ring of countless hammers, nnd horses
nnd riders were blended in wild confusion
together: the Russian reserve were order
ed up, and on these Murat fell with his
fierce horsemen, crushing and trampling
them down by thousands. Hut thecbsti
lute Russians disdained to fly, and rallied
again and again, 50 that it was no longer
cavalry charging on infantry, but squad
rons ol horse "al loping throucii broiten
.hosts that, gathering into knots, still dis

J It was during this fight that Mural was
een to perform one of those daring deeds
j for which he was so renowned. Kxciled
to the highest pitch of passnn by the ob
sUc.lc8 that opposed him, he seemed en
i dowed with ten fold strength, nd looked
; more like a superhuman being treading
down helpless mortals, thi!i an ordinary
man. Amid tho roar of artillery, and
rattlinir of muskotrv. nnd falling of sabre
"strokes like lightning about him, that

(while ever and anon it was seen glaring

hile his clear and ileady voice, heard

TO THE l'EOl-LE Of THR CONI EDERATE STATES.
When a people who recognize their de

comes them to humble themselves under1
the dispensation of Divine Providenco. to
recognize His righteous government, to
acknowledge His goodness in times pant,
and supplicate his merciful protection for

The manifest proofs of the Djvino bios
sing hitherto extended to tho ctl'orU of
the people of the Confederate States of
America lo maintain and perpetuate public
liberty, Individual rights and national in
dependence, demand their devout aud
heartfelt gratitude. It becomes them to
give public manifestations of this gratitude
and of their dependence on the Judge of
all tho liarth, and to invoke the continu
ance of His favor. Knowing that none
but a just and righteous cause can gain
the Divine favor, we would imploro tho '
Lord of Hosis to guide and direct out
policy in tho paths of right, dutv. justice
and mercy ; to unite our hearts and our
etlortsforthc dclcnccof our dearest rights,
to strengthen our weakness, CtoiVh our
arms with success, and etiablo us to secure
a speedy, just and honorable peace.
To Ifcse endis, and in conformity with
the requost of Congress, I invite the peo

Who is "Uixkt" Neai.? Extract from
a private letter dated l'hila lelphia, May
17th IN'.I
"I have just received tho Dirpaich, of
Saturday last, giving Charles M. Neal an
overhauling. Tli editor states he does
not know "Neal." For his informction. 1
will state that it is "Bucky Neal ! tho
snapper:" and for the information of Tilts-
burg readers, I will state that the "snap
pprs," was tho name of tho noting puny
of n fighting fire-company railled under,
somo years unce.
"Bucky was al sea when ahoy, and
fell from aloft in juiiing one of his litnhi
lo such an extent that he has boon lame
sinco. Ho hp.d a brotln-r killed in a fight
on a steamboat in the Delaware, a few
years since.
"I do think that the Governor, whatever
his own merits maybe, hiis.trcen and is
surrounded by a most corrupt crew of
speculators ; nnd it does Neal no injustirp
lo say that his moral worth, or modesty
has not prevented him from being ono ot
tho "(Queen's Guards." Curlin went for
Fticky for Navy ngont at tnls port, but
Alex. Cumtnings wanted his brother-in-law,
(nnd one of the proprietors of the
Uullctin.) Jim Chambers, in that position.
And in consequence of Cummings slick
ing so closoly to Cameron, he secured th
appointment for hisimve Chnmliers, and
Hucky a felt out in the cold lo seo how
the thermometer stands. At this time he
was holding as he does tow tho office
of City Commissioner, nt a handsome sal
ary. Bui tho Governor thought thai JJea!
must be additionally provided for, and as
ho lulled in FDcuring lor him tho berm of
Navy Agont, he unpointed Mm State agent
to purchase clothing for the soldiers a"
position which he has most unworthily
filled, if the statements of tho Dispatch aro
reliable. Some of these fellows will got
their due before they die, and if they (to
not the P 1 will get them hereafter met,
