The election held yesterday for field officers of the 19th Regiment Georgia Volunteers, now at Walton’s Springs, resulted as follows : Colonel, Henry L Benning, of Columbus. Lieut, Colonel, G. Bryan, of Lee county. Major, Thomas Walker, of Albany. We are gratified to have it in our power to state that there were but three candidates for those offices—the above named gentlemen hav ing no opposition, and the vote for them being unanimous. This is as it should be. There will be no heartburnings, animosities and jealousies on account of defeated aspirations, and no exul ting of successful competitors over the defeat ed. The Regiment have officers of their own choosing. Two of the companies left last evening by the State Road. They were the Schley Vol unteers, Capt. French—Empire State Guards, Capt. Smith. We shall publish the roll of the Regiment in a day or two.— - —— That Map. We have received from T. A. Burke, Esq., his beautiful Map of the Seat of War. He has it for sale in Savannah. ..

FOR THE “ SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.” Richmond, Aug. 17.—Dispatches received here from a reliable source, report the Confed erate loss near Springfield, Mo., at about 1,000 in Killed, wounded and missing. The Fed eral killed, wounded and prisoners amount to 2,500. Lyon is killed and six cannon taken, with a large amount of stores and wagons. It was a total rout. McCulloch and Price are in hot pursuit of the enemy, confidant of cap turing the whole of Seigel’s command. Gen. Hardee and Jeff Thompson are mov ing north, expecting to cut off Seigel’s retreat towards St. Louis. The News from the West. Yesterday morning we had the pleasure of a visit from Dr. Satchwell, of Wilmington, , North Carolina, now on his way home from Europe, where he has been for some time past. While in Chattanooga, night-before-last, he was furnished with the following dispatch, , which he kindly allowed us to take a copy of, i and which we lay before our readers : Memphis, August 16—2 o’clock.—Advices from Springfield, via Little Rock, Arkansas, confirm the rumor of our complete and sig nal victory in Missouri. It appears that the attack was made on Mc- Cullough by surprise, as his outer pickets were taken prisoners, and could not give warning. The enemy’s loss is 2,500 to 3,000, and six cannon. Our loss is 306 to 400 killed and wounded. The rout of the enemy was com plete. McCullough and Price are safe. A later report says that the whole Federal force under Seigel was pursued, captured and brought back. The steamer Equality was seized by the Con federates at Cairo yesterday, and run the blockade. She passed two gunboats, and went to New Madrid—escaping entirely—and the gun boats returned. The Federal forces in the fight with McCul lough was about 11,000. McCullough’s about 13,000. (Signed) J. COLEMAN, Supt. Tel. Co. To General Sam Tate, President Memphis A Charleston Railroad, Chattanooga, Tennes see. Some statements are going the rounds of the press that the blockade at Louisville has been relaxed or partially abandoned. We have been favored with the following private dispatch from the mercantile house in Nash ville of the highest standing to one of the most prominent merchants in this city, which shows ths report to be untrue : “Nashville, Aug 16.—Coflee is 30 cents. The blockade at Louisville is more rigid than oyer." Salt in Texas.—The Houston Telegraph calls attention to the supply of salt in the rear of Corpus Christi, which, it would seem, is sufficient for the supply of the whole Con federacy. The salt is found in the Laguna Madre, onoe a long narrow bay, but which has been cut off from the sea by the forma tion of a bar. During nine months of the year there is no rain, and the water which flaws in from the sea is rapidly evaporated, leaving a deposit of salt from one to two feet deep, of a quality equal to Turk’s Island.— The Telegraph estimates that there are not less than a thousand millions of bushels of salt in the lagoon, within reach of the ru dest appliances for gathering. The mode of gathering this salt, says the Telegraph, is, by having Mexican cartmen, to deliver it in Corpus Christi bay. There are times, we are informed, when the salt may be scraped into fiatboats and taken to deep water. But the cartmen can, it is believed, be obtained to deliver a hundred thousand bushels in Corpus bay at cost of not over ten cents per bushel. From Corpus there is in land navigation for flat bottomed scows to within twenty miles of the Brazos river. As we have before stated, this salt is far superior to Liverpool salt; and if Old Abe’s blockade forces us to open a business of sup plying ourselves with our own salt, it will not be the least of the benefiits it will confer up on ue. We believe it will be possible to de liver salt in Houston at from a cent to a cent and half per pound. It is now worth two and a half.
