In addition to this they had wires netted all &round their works, aad a ditch from four to six feet deep, corresponding with the regularity of the ground, the extreme slope of the pa. apet making an acute angle with the fall of the ditch. immediately in their front, for t or three hundred yards, all brnsh and rnbbish were removed, In ore'er taa’ their grape and cani mn t have a clear sweep at any attacking column.

Suddenly the Stiiliees was broker. by the sharp cr: ofa Mirie rifle, when «up, b charge!” was given by our commanders. The brave fellows, springing up with ® shout on they pressed to the fort, through a murderous fire of slot and shell. Owing to a rain on the day before, and | irost on the night of the attack, the earth would give way from under our galiant men as they climbed upon the shoulders ofeach other, en- deavyoring to reach the parapet, and down they Would tumble into the ditch. Hand grenade aiter hand grenade were thrown upon them, and yet they still remained climbing and fall- ing tor over ha'f an hour, whilst the air epar- kled with whistling fuses and incessant rolls oi musketry jrom the walls. When, finding all atiempts to scale the sides of the fort impossi- bie, (only, one man. Sergeant-Major Bailey, of the Seth Georgia, reaching the top—he, poor fellow, was killed immediately,) we slowly withdrew under a terrible fire irom the enemy. I: was. sight long tobe remembed to see Gen. bryan at the head of the column, leading und cheering his men, giving orders ima calm and eelf possessed tone. Indeed, he secmed to beara charmed life. Whilst hundreds aroand bim were kiiled and wounded, he was un- touched, and when the assault failed, walked away crying, “raily, boys, rally, we are not whipped—we could not climb the fort, that’s ali!

Oh! it was a sad sight to see thore two old warriors, Generals Bryan and Humphrey, who essayed to speak to each other after the fight, but could not. They turned their heads and wept; yes, ‘wept bitter tears to the memory of their gallant dead. Never did men go so boldly up to death. The enemy run a flag of truce and acted very humanely to our wounded, sending all who could be moved to us. The Yankees say it was the eharge of the war, and none but Long- street’s corps would ever have made it. THE EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS. Another Letter from General Hitchcock. WasHInGTon City, D. C., Dec. 30, 1863. To the Editor of the New York Times: In my letter to you, published in the Times of the 2d inst. I recited trom a New York aper what purported to bean extract trom a letter dated Port Hudson, Novemter 3, said to bave been written by a Captain in the 7th regi- ment, addressed to his father, setting forth that Lieut. Geo. B. Coleman, Jr., of New York, having been captured by the rebels, had been hanged within twenty-four hours afterwards, lopestier with some twenty privates, (colored, ) who were taken with bim. I stated at the time that such publications afforded indirect evidence of the manner of disposing of captured members of the Corps @ Afrique determined upon by the rebels, and that it was not tobe expected that we should hear of the destruction of that class of troops by the rebels from Confederate authorities. I am happy now to state that I have received & note dated at Libby Prison, Richmond, Va., December 21th, 1863, over the signature of Lieutenant George B. Coleman, in the to!low- ing words—doubtless all that he was perthitted to write—to wit: “Having seen a statement in the New York Times, that I had been executed, I deem it my duty to inform you that I am an occupant of this prieon, and am receiving treatment in gm- ton with other prisoners here.” This is the whole ef the note; and while it bappily furnishes the most acceptable evi- dence that Lieut. Coleman was not murdered, 88 reported by the writer from Port Hudson, the circumstances under which it was writ- ten—in the Libby Prison, under the surveil- lance of rebel officers—and its entire silence as ‘to the fate of the twenty colored privates who were taken prisoners with him, makes the in- ference unavoidable, that the privates were murdered, as stated in the letter from Port Htdson. The rebel authorities in Richmond were no doubt anxicus to show that Lieut. Coleman bimeelt had not been murdered, and therefore permitted him to contradict the report con- cerning himself; but they would not permit him_ to say a word as to the disposition made of the privates who were captured with him, whose fate was reported in the very same let- ter, published in the Times, where Lieut. Cole- man aw the account of his cwn destruction. I regard this note from Licut. Coleman as proof that the Port Hudson letter is true in recisely that portion of it about which Lieut. Joleman maintains a deathlike silence. 1 stated in my letter of the 2d inst, speaking of Mr. Quid, the repel agent of exchange, that «she might say, and with verbal truth, speaking individually, that ke would deliver them (pri- soners for exchange) under certain conditions, all prisoners (of ours) in his hands, without intending to include this class of (colored) thoops; because, by the action of the Confederate au'borities, not a single man, officer or soldier, belonging to the Corps d’Afrique has been or ‘will be permittedto comeintoAishands They have, on the cont ' when captured, been either m' cast into prison or sold into gavery Sony are not recognized in the South BC 5 1 That I was in the main justified in using the &bove language has been since sufficently evinced ws and sabloshiag siate~ ment of ond Enquirer of 17th inst, avowing, almost in direct that the kav es ~ Confederate troops have been instructed how to Gis pose of colored troops ef the Federal army who may fal} into their hands: for this is the =e age of the editor: ©The Yankees are not going to send their ne- gro troops into the field.

As much misappreb ion exists in the pab- lic mind respecting the condition of Heenan bet re and after bis iate contest with King, the following authentic particulars may not be without Interest Four or five hours after the termination of the fight on the 17th imctant he arrived at a iriena’s house in Londen. Mr. J. F. Olarke saw Lim immediately. He was then suffering irom greatexhaustion, His tace was consid- erably Giefigured, and there was a cut on the right tide of the upper Hp about hatfan inch in length, which required astitch. There were no bruises of any cousequence about the body, but there were a tew scratches on the chest. The action cf the heart was very feeble, and the pulse scarcely perceptible. Suitable medi- cines were resorted to, uncer the influence of which he graduaily improved unti! the (3th. On the eve: g of that day he hada fainting fit. On the i4th Dr. ‘Lanner saw bim in cone sultation with Mr.Ciarke. He was then weak, | his nights had been restless, and there was considerable uneasiness on tiking a deep in- spiration. On examining him all marks about the chest had neariv Cisappeared, while the brvises upon bis tace were evidenuy qnicki facing. The cut in his upper lip had healed. The right nesal bone was loosened from its Articulstions, but there was no fracture. On carefully practicing ausculs'ti the heart's action was tound to be feeble, though there was po-truit, the yalves ecting efficiently. The puice was weak, very compressible, and rather atove i00. The lett Inpg was healthy; bat over the apex of the right there was dullness, with eviden © of congestion } On either side at the back of tie neck there | Was considerabie stiffness, which S ascer- | tained to exist chiefly in the tendinous atrach- ] Mente Of the trapezive mosele fo the oceipital | bore, ligamentum nuche, dorsal vertebra:, and spine of the scapula. the immense de- velopinent of ihe museles about the shoulders avd chest was very rmarkaude.

Bat w | the eplendid cevelopmert it was eviden: that Heensn had received a shock trom which bis system was only slowly recovering; though Whether ths loss of power was due tne punishment re: d iu the fight or to the hard y which had previously undergone, 2 a Cisputed point, As physiologists, it seems to us highly prob- sble that his taming bad been too prolonged | 8nd too severe. Whea Heenan went into train- ig on Wednesday, September 23—jnst eleven Weeks Leiore the match—his weizlt wes 15st. bs. As he stepped into the ring on the 1th int . he was exactly M-t. At the same ume king weighed 1st., though he was three quar- ters of an inch taller than Heenan, ‘whose 6 jeet TH inch. These who know & trairing 1 ns will, perhaps, agree with us thst Hee was probably in better condiiion five weeks before meeting his antagonist thon he was on the morning of his Geteat, ulthough when ho stripped tor fighting the lookers-on all agreed that ne seemed to promise himself an easy victory, while ex- vitung ip his fine proportious and splendid muscular development. It is now clearly proven that Heenan went into the contest with MUCD mre muscular tian vital power. Long before he had met with aay se vers punishment — indecd, as he states at the third round—he felt feint, breathed with mu.k difficulty, and as he described it, his respiration was “roaring.” He dec.ares tbat he received more severe treat- ment atthe hands of Sayers than he did from Kine: yet at the terminauon of the former fighi, which losted upwards of two hours, he was so f-cth 85 to leap over two or three hurdles and distance many of his friends in the race. It was noticed on the present occasion that his physique had deteriorated, and that he looked much older than at bis last appearance in the ring. Without offering any opinion as to the merit of the combatants, it is certain that Hee- nan was in astate of very deteriorated health when he faced his opponént, and it is fair to conclude that deterioraiion was due in @ great meaeure to the severity of the training whith he bad undergone. As with the mind, so with the body, undue and prolonged exertion must end in depression of }ower. Im the process of the physical education ofthe young, in the trai ing ot our recruite, or in the sports of the ath- lete, the case of Heenan suggests a striking commentary of great interest in a physiological point of view. While exercise, properly so called, tends to development and health, ex- cessive exertion produces debility and decay. In these times of over-excitement and over- ccmpetition in the race of life. the cise we now put on record may be studied with advan age. Ovum Hatk.—God has covered the skull with hair. Some people shave it off. Mischievous practice. It exposes the brain. It ex, s the throat and lungse—tle eyes, likewise, say wise physiologists. Men become bald. Why? Because they wear close hats and caps. Women are never bald except by disease. They do not wear close hats and a 5 en never lose a hair below where the hut touches the head. not if they Dave been bald twenty years. The close hat holds the heatand perspiration. Thereby the bair glands become weak; the hair falis ont. What will restore if? Nothing atter the scalp becomes shiny. Hut in process of falling out, or recently lost, the following is best: Wash the head freely with cold water once or twice a day. Wear a thoroughly ventilated hat. This is the best means to arrest the loss and re- store what is eusceptible of restoration. What will beautify a woman’shair? What- ever will invigorate the hair glands. Oils and most other applications debilitate the hair glands. Cold water is best. At first the head looks like a witch, bat efter a few weeks it makes the hair inxuriant. By the persistent use of cold water I have seen thin, poor hair become rich and curly. Only the part of the hair nex* the ecalp shculd be wet. It must be thoroughly dried.—Dio Lewis, M. D.

Had we known the parties we could have told them how clear cood coffer may al ways b2 had with little trouble or expense—thus: To have gcod coffee it is best to buy a bag (if your purse be large enough) and roast it youreelf, as re- quired. When ground, best it up well witha litle cold water and whit#of egg, (one egg will do for three times,) pour boiling water on it, then boil ten minutes; after which, again pour in sbout & cup of hot water and stand aside to settle for flve minutes. In this way you caanot fail to have good coffee. , 87 The New York Inaependent accuses the President of disregarding his duty and the pab- lic good by appointing. a subservient tool of his own to the commaud of the Department of Missouri.
