TrTJnAY NUKING, June 10.
From Chattanooga.
Tha Yankees made their appearance
on the opposito side of the river from
Chhttanoogn, on Friday evening last:—
Of course rumors nro Tory plentiful.
From them we cull the following items:
tho enemy shelled the town o» Satur
day and Sunday, with field pieces—
wounding a few of our men, hut doing
little damage to the town. On Monday
they retreated. Gen. Kirby Smith ar
rived there on Saturday with reinforeo
ments from Knoxville. Col. Morgan,
with » considerable force of his cavalry
was present. There is a sufficient num.
ber of troops thore to hold the place
against any force thatStar-gazor Mitchell
can bring against it. What their ob
ject was in retreating so suddenly is un
known, unless they were disappointed
in our troops not "skedaddlin’’ as soon
as the shells commenced falling;
Appeal to Absent Soldiers.
The Riohmond papers abound with
earnest appsals to the multitude of
idle soldiers about the city to go into
ranks. Probably many of these are
on the sick list and have a just exemp
tion from duly, but it is a sad reflection
that there should bo any necessity for
such appeals, that any one able to han
dle his gun should lounge at tho Capi
tal, while tho enemy’s cannon thunders
at its gates.
Immortality of fametnd of infamy,
have been or will be won in the conflict
at Richmond. For the brave, it is for
tunate that the battle we.* so near the
city, affording a refuge for the wound
ed, but it is very unfortunate for the
runners, the temptation being too strong
te make an early and safe retreat. We
■trust Gen. Johnston's orders prevented
this scandal to a great extent.
Gen. Beaurqgaul has also issudtl a
■call from Corinth, earnestly demanding
the immediate return of absent soldiers
from whatoverotuie. Tho order makes
the melanottoly statement that many
of tho troops had gone off without
leave, and the friends of soldiers are
entreated to send them back. No
doubt quito a number of the illustrious
3.000 who won such honor by plunder
and cowardice on the field of Shiloh,
are nmong tho 900 missing in Beaure
gard’s report.
It is a poor consolation, but tho best,
tbc case admits, that the enemy are
stronger in that branch ot tho service
than we are—tho "Invinciblos,” on
their side, are in great force, and the
greater the better for us.
Well, did not Butler say in his “Hu-
dibras,”
"He that fights and runs away,
May live to fight another day.”
H.
g®-There was a bill introduced into
Congress increasing the pay of-army
chaplains to $100 per month, and ra
tions, but Adj. Gen. Cooper, in reply to
an inquiry statos that tho bill, as
passed, makes the pay eighty dollars per
month, and rations ns now provided by
law,
8®* Col. Dunwoody, the Command
ing Officer of the camps of instruction
and Enrolling Officer for Georgia, has
appointed assistants in the several Con
gressional districts of the State. The
offioer for the 10th district, is Third
Lieut. R. S. Phillips, Euharlee, Bartow
county.
Jt®*A report is in circulation this
morning from Nashville, says the Mo
bile Telegraph of the 24th ult., that
Ex-Gov. Brown, of Tenn., was ordered
to be arrested and brought before Andy
Johnson to answer come charge, and
while itt his presence, and during the
investigation, Brown drew a pistol and
shot Johnson, killing him on the spot.
Brown was, of course, cruelly slain by
tho Federals present.
ggyThe reports in regard to the loss
es in the battle of Chickahominy are
vague and uncertain, as well as concern
ing the numbers engaged. The Rich
mend papers estimate the Yankee
forces at 40,000 to 60,000, and our for
ces actually engaged at 20,000 to 30,600,
Our loss is estimated at 1200 at the out'
■side. The Yankees lost 500 prisoners
but owing to a well arranged system
their dead and most of the wounded
were removed from the field at once
so that no estimate could be made.
This was no doubt an admirable Yan
kee contrivance to keep the people from
knowing the terrible losses the Yan
kee army sustains in battle, and to let
the lying despatches of tho generals
have their full force.
Onr Artillery Correspondence.
no. xxx.
Cumberland Gap, Tenn., 1
Juno 3, 1862. J
Diar Courier Since our last lettor,
death has entered the ranks of our
company, and two more of jts members
sro now sleeping in a soldier’s grave.
William Newton and Daniel N. Coepsr
are no more j the former died of pneu
monia, at the hospital at Tazwell, on
the 21st ultimo, after a long and severe
illness; the latter died yesterday mor
ning at a farm house three miles dis,
tant from camp; he was sick but a few
days from an attack ef camp fovor
which suddonly relapsed into pneumo
nia, that scourge so much dreaded by
the soldier. Both had recently joined
the company, wore " promising young
men, ever prompt and efficient in the
discharge of their “duty. They were
well liked and respected by every
member of the company, and their loss
will be deeply felt by us all.
Thus are our comrades quietly drop
ping off, one by one, sacrificing tkeir
lives in tho service of their country,
rendering its cause still holier, still
more procious than ever. Disease
makes sad havoc in the ranks of our
volunteers; it kills more than the bul
let; the hospital is more dreaded than
the battle-field. Should not thsn, the
memories of its victims be as hallowed,
their names as honored, as they would
bo, if their live! had been sacrificed
amid scenes of carnage and strife?—
Severe ns the test of strength, coolness
and courage upon tho field of battle
may be, yet to bear- patiently, quietly,
and with fortitude the shafts of dis
ease amid the incongruities of camp, is
an equally trying ordeal.
Movements here appear to indicate
an advance upon tiie part of our forces
erelong. We stand upon the .thresh-
hold of Kentucky, and the word must
be "onward;” a great change in the
sentiment of the people of that noble
State is going on ; the scales are fal
ling from their eyes; the fallacy of
the neutrality idea, and the schemes
of their would-be protectors are be
coming apparent to all. We doubt not
but that un advancing column iuto
Kentucky, would Ge augmented by the
addition of thousands of her sons, long
anxious to rally around our standard.
Cumberland Gap is almfist. impregna
ble, it is a convenient point of rendez
vous, and we are determined to hold it
| at all hazards ; reinforcements are con
etantly arriving, and other forces are
in our vicinity. Meanwhile the move
mentof the enemy show that they are.
suspicious of our intentions. They
have removed fpom tjie Ford to Log
Mountain, seven miles from here,
where they aro fortifying themselves,
and where they can more effectually
impede our progress.
Severa' deserters from their camp,
stampeders from East Tennessee, have
econtly came within our lines; from
them wo learned that the enemy haB
again been reinforced, and have now
22 pieces of artillery. The stampeders
expressed great discontent at the treat
ment thsy received from their Unlon-
loiing friends; they wore compelled
to work on the roads, and subsisted
upon half rations; and some state that
they were treated with imprisonment,
if they eventually refused to enlist in
the Federal army.
Two of tho enemy wave captured
yesterday, having been caught prowling
about our lines, probably reconnoitcr-
ing the position of our pickets. Sever
al of the enemy's cavalry have been
seen recently in our vicinity ; we can
sometimes heav'tlio drum and bugle
calls at tho camp of the enemy.
Meanwhile wo await the result of
the coming battles at Corinth and
Richmond with anxious solicitude.—
Should God grant success to our arms
ut Corinth, we should not be surprised
to hear tho order—“forward, into Ken
tucky”—whore advancing, wo would
unite with the victorious columns of
Beauregard, and never halt until we
knocked at the gates of Cincinnati.
Gen. Kirby Smith arrived here yes
terday. Wo aro enjoying pleasant
weather, with an occasional shower;
tliese showers in the mountains are
sometimes rather disagreeable, as
thoy are often accompaniod by tor
nadoes of wind, which—
"Leaping from peak to peak,
'Mid live thunder, and tho lightning’s
rage,”
often compel our oanvas domiciles to
succumb to tho war of the elements,
greatly dampning our enthusiasm and
“effects” thereby. P-
gOl-The Jackson Mississippian, ef
the 28th says that "Gen. Beauregard
had issued an order requiring the burn
ing of all extra * tents—officers allowed
only .16 pounds of baggage. He de
clared that the Confederate army had
assumed tho.offensive,, and that he did
not wash it to be eneumbered with un
necessary baggage or tell ts.-
Frorn the Lines.
The mins of Wednesday and Thurs
day again put tho roads in a bad condi
tion, and rendered thorn almost impact
sable for artillery. Tho Chiekahominy
is also vory much swollen, making its
passngo difficult. It is, therefore, prob
able that operations may be delayed
somd days, until the roads and fields
get in better order, so that artillery and
transport wagons may bo drawn over
them.
Yesterday an artillery duel occurred
across tho Chickahominy, to tho left of
tho nine mile road, and in Magriidor’s
division. Tho enemy brought up. seve
ral batteries, and, as usual, commenced
shelling the woods promiscuously. It
was soon replied to by somo batteries
under Lieut. C®1. Let.
The oneniy brought up about twelve
pieces, but they wero compelled to re
tire after an hour’s cannonade, appa
rently with heavy loss. The Yankees
afterwards brought hoavj guns and
shelled our- batteries for an hour or
more, worn ding four non and killing
several horses. OVjVgnns replied with
spirit, and tho firing finally ceased,
with no especial advantage to either
side.—Dispatch.
From thj Valley or Virginia.—
Tin Lynchburg Republican, of the 3d,
says:
It appears from the reported move
ments of the Federal forces in tho Val
ley, Old Stonewall may yot have moro
fun in storo for them.
Shields and Geary were on Saturday
at Kootortown, in Fauquier, with a
foice of 12,000. Dix, with a small
force, is reported advancing from Hur-
perV Ferry, and Milroy is in Hardy,
endeavoring to make his way across
the country to effoct a junction with
Dix and Shields, whose combined for
ces would then attempt to cut off our
forces under Juokson.
It is reported that there was a skir
mish between Dix and a poition of our
army, on Friday last, in which the ene
my were worsted. This is ono version
of tho affair. Another is that tho
skirmish was a serious battle, and re
sulted in tiie killing of 400 Yankees,
and making prisoners ot 1,000. We
are inclined to credit the first report.
Thero are reports also that Shields
had advanced mid taken possession of
Front Royal, and occupied it with his
whole army. *
Without undertaking to decide which’
of these is correct, we feel confident
that whatever tho force of tho enemy
may be, old Stonewall is in force suffi
cient to smash them up in detail, nr
whip the wholo posse united—nnd
what’s more, lie’ll do it.
The Virginian of tho same dato says:
From the news that hast just readied
us, we fear that Jackson may have
another severe battle on his hands by
this time.

Now, from the above there should
bo deducted ton to-fifteen per cent, for
soldiers in the hospitals, at homo, on

ineapiibilify, leaving a total of 430,000
men capable of doingdoing duty. The,
exact number, vf the exact truth were
known, may not exceed 400,000 efficient
men. Scores of regiments that march-
d from hoin'o 1,000-strong, can muster
now only 300 to 500 men, mid few regi
ments number moro than 700 or 800

perhaps worse.
The number of soldiers nt home on
furlough, witli sick certificates, is much
greater than is generally supposed, and
wo doubt whether tho War Depart
ment is aware of how many thousands
there are of such. A majority ot sur
