e driveway from company A, and its duty to protect the entrance, I was told that General Wilcox wanted me. When I got to him he had dismounted, and was standing in the entrance way. He asked me if I was the commanding officer. I replied that Colonel Duncan was. He said: Send for him. Before Duncan arrived he got on his horse so that he could be better heard, and then in loud, exciting voice, said: Men, the salvation of Lee's army is in your keeping; you must realize the responsibility, anDuncan arrived he got on his horse so that he could be better heard, and then in loud, exciting voice, said: Men, the salvation of Lee's army is in your keeping; you must realize the responsibility, and your duty; don't surrender this fort; if you can hold the enemy in check for two hours, Longstreet, who is making a forced march, will be here, and the danger to the army in the trenches will be averted. The artillery of the Federals cut short his speech. The response was: Tell General Lee that Fort Gregg will never be surrendered. The cannonading lasted about thirty minutes.

Lithography. --A car load of lithographic presses, stones and other material, passed through Lynchburg yesterday, en route for Richmond. It is a portion of the establishment brought on by Col. B. Duncan, for the purpose of engaging in work for various Departments, which will, to a considerable extent, facilitate the dispatch of public business. The artists engaged are represented to be of the first class, chief among whom is J. T. Wagner, designer of vignettes. It is proposed to commence with twelve presses, and increase the number as necessities may require. The large room over Tardy & Williams, corner of 13th and Cary streets, has been rented for the purpose. See advertisement.

s heading it was said in yesterday's paper that a number of persons at Colonel Dunean's lithographic establishment had, on Thursday, "hoping to increase their profits," refused to work--i.e., struck for higher wages. This was an error, which Colonel Duncan's communication will correctly explain. The parties could not have wanted higher wages, many of them, after loafing one or two days during the week, as we learn, receiving from $105 to $115 per week for their labor. Fellows that, in such tihand, wishing to procure cheaper labor, and thereby learn the expenses of the Government, I have sent to Europe and other places for a large number of printers, a portion of whom are expected daily. Gen. Winder arrested my printers, and put them in jail, for not complying with their contract. Meanwhile I have taken eight apprentices, and will take others from 17 to 18 years of age. Respectfully, &c., B. Duncan. P. S — The men consented (1) to go to work yesterday and were released.
