gfg 'i'lie imports from East Tennessee
ate so numerous and so conflicting,
that we do not deem them of sufficient
worth to publish, Wo givo (ho follow
ing, the only only one that seems to bo
reliable:
A gentlomau from Knoxvillo^says that
the enemy crossed tho mountains at
Wheeler's Gap, and had got in the rear
of our troops at Cumberland Gap, and
cut them off, and heavy firing was
heard in that direction wlion ho loft,
which was supposed to bo an engage
ment..
JQy-Mnjor C. H. Smith will loavo for
Virginia on Thursday morning next,
and will tnko any letters for “the

Drowned.—A little boy named Jos.
Harbin, about 7 or 8 years old, was
drownsd in the Oostanaula river, near
tho steamboat landing on Sunday even
ing last.
Os^As will bs seen from tho notice
in another column, Lieut. G. 0. Butler
wants a few recruits for the Sharp
Shooter’s in the 21st Georgia Regiment.
The Regiment is with that glorions old
hero, Stonewall Jackson. They are in
the healthiest portion of Virginia, and
are kept moving about too brisk to hare
time to get sick. Capt. Hamilton’s
dispatch in another column shows
what this Regiment has been doing.
Stonewall Jackscn it not only learned
in the science and theory of war, but
understands it practically, and not
wsi ting for things that ought to happen
according to the books, takes them aa
they occur, and knowing well tho
Southern character, adopts that dash
and daring, that at once chains and
captirates tho Southern heart. The
universal and sincere approval of Gen.
Jackson’s policy attests the truth of
this.
SQ-The Floyd Guards request us to
publish the following resolution of tho
company.
Resolved, that the. thanks of the com
pany be and aro hereby tendored to Col.
W. S. Cothran, for a donation of fifty
dollars, for tho use of tho Company.

Reinforcements fob Jackson.—A des
patch received hero fom Richmond
states that General Lawton has been
orderod, with his brigade to join Gen*
eral Jackson on tho Shenandoah forth

Wednesday, and by this time ho is
doubtless, in sight of tho enemy. Tho
brigade, is C 000 strong, all Georgians,
and as fine troops as are to bo found in
the Confederacy. Tho usual complement
of artillery has doubtless, been added.
Wo shall hear from these men bofore

Thu Fight ot the 47th Georgia on
Jnmcs Island.
The Charleston Courier of yesterday
has some particulars of the fight' on
James Island, on Monday from which
wc cxtrAcfc tho following ;
The accounts of the fight given by
participants do not differ materially
from our report of Tuesday, with the
exception of the number of casualties,
which they estimate to bo sixty-five
killed, wounded and missing. This is
believed to be the number reported
officially.
Tho 47tli Goorgia, reduced by sick
ness to about threo hundred effective
men, went into this action with their
brave and intrepid loader, Col. Wil
liams, agninst a force of the enemy of
at least two thousand, entrenohrd and
posted behind formidable breastworks.
Owing to the naturo of tho ground,
it being a dense wood, our men sudden
ly came upon the entrenchments, at a
distance of but thirty-five yards. Col.
Williams, however, wishing to dislodge
the foe, determined to makoan assault;
and ordered a charge.
The men rushed forward and made
a vigorous attack upon tho breastworks.
Tho enemy opened upon tlicm-
a terrific cross fire, of infantr y, artille
rv and cavalry, and shells thrown from
the gunboats. The regiment foil back
a moment, and again moved forward
to another nssult. The fighting on
both sides was ’"now desperate. Our
men were under a continuous and dead
ly fire, and having expended then-
last round of amunition, the order to
retreat was given. They withdrew
leaving the dead and a number of the
more seriously wounded in tho hands of
the enemy.
Our reinforcements weto not brought
into Rction, and the 47th sustained
alone for several hours the fire of the
heavy force in front of them.' In this
engagement Captain Williams fell pierc
ed with four Minnie balls, while gal
lantly encouraging his men t* the sec
ond assault. Private J. S Cone was
also killed almost at tho same tirno,
and while in closo proximity to Captain
Willinms.
The Evacuation of Memphis.
Wo learn from the Memphis Ava
lanche of tbe7tb inst., that the Yan
kees had taken possession of Memphis.
Six gunboats were frowning upon the
city, and the stars and stripes floated
from the post office. It was supposed
that the imraediato command of tho
city would devolve upon Col. Fitch,
now acting Brigadier. Tho strong
friends of the Confederacy, who were
able, as well as many business men who
to took no part, h id left, fearing to
trust their business in the hands of tho
Yankees; also all tho banking institu
tions anil their officers, Confederate
soldiers and commandant of tho post,
Provost Marshal, post master, telograph
orerators, many of the best physicians,
its most able, most admired men ami
women had left. Not only is Memphis
extra civilian in its population now, but
also in its possession. All arms, and
munitions of war, tho very sinews of
war—the banks—all down to the last
pound of commissary bacon, and the
last point of commissary flour, liavo
been removed, and tho leavings in ci
vilian possessions themselves, are of tho
meagerest. But two papers are loft,
the Appeal hairing been moved to Gre
nada, Miss.-, where it will bo continued.

General Floyd.
Tho alacrity with which volunteers
aro hastening to tho standard of Gen.
Floyd, furnishes an impressive evideneo
of tho confidence of the peoolo, in his
abilities as a military leader *We have
never underrated West PoinjJSHfd have
anything but feelings of veneration for
civilians in general, who undertake to
become Generals at a moment’s notico ;
but there, aro nevertheless, men who
aro born Generals, and Floyd Price,
and others, arc examples. Tho Soutli
is under incalculable obligations to
Gen. Floyd. But for him, what would
have been its prospects for tho prosont
conflict? IIo is a man of great- politi
cal foresight, and a most striking proof
of which was given in his letter at the
beginning of eur prosont troublos, pre
dicting that England would keep aloof
altogether from the Atnoricnn quarrel.
He stood alone at that time in that be-
liof. Almost ovorybody, -North and
South, felt perfectly suro that England
would havo cotton, even at theoxpenso
of a war with tho North. As a milita
ry leader, Gen. Floyd’s conduct of our
armies in the west, lias proved him a
man of real talent and prowess ; n sa
gacious, go-ahead and successful chief
tain. Wo trust that his forco will soon
bo raised, and that, under such loader-
ship, it-will soon produce valuable re
sults wo cannot doubt.—Richmond Dis

Jt3“Wkat a commentary on the folly
of wealth, the following presents:
It is said that a certain person fo-
licited Mr. Astor on his wealth.—
Pointing to his piles of bonds, map s&c.,
tho capitalist replied ; "How would
you like to manage all these matters for
yout board and clothes ? Tho man do-
nnlrred to the idoa. "Sir,” said the
other, "it iB all l get,” Mr. Astor it .s
said, gives but little away.
Military Dispatches.—Sinco Gcesar’s
famous "veni. vidi, vici,” (I came, I
saw, I conquered,) many military com
manders have rendered their dispatch
es memorable, for pith and conciseness;
but Sidney Smith’s bears the palm for
both wit and brevity, in his announce
ment of the capture of Sciude: “Pee-
cavi” (I have sinned.)
Gonernl Havelock’s ‘wo are in Luck
now,’ has already become a matter of
history.
"Stonewall” Jackson’s dispatch to
Governor Letcher, “God has blessed
our arms with another victory,” is a
model for a Christian General, and will
live in history.—Lynchburg Republ can
3d inst.
Jackson’s dispatch surpasses in brev
ity Suwnrrow’s to tho Empress Catha
rine, of Russia, "Glory to God and to
tho Empress, Ismail is ours.”
In reply to a call for three addi
tional regiments, Gov. Andrews, of
Massachusetts, informs tho Secretary of
War, that it is possible this number of
troops may be raised in forty days ; but
if an assurance was given that the ob
ject was'to sustain the proclamation of
Gen. Hunter, a “niultitudo” would
pour out to obey the call. Such is pool-
degraded Massachusetts, a sickening
contrast to her Bunker Hill glory 1
veteran admirer of Andrew
Jackson, the Hero of New Orleans, says
Stonewall Jackson is only Old Hickory

Tub Naval Officers atN. Orleans. —
The Charleston Courier says:
In reply to an enquiry in our last
issue, Mr. S. Brook, who has had excel
lent opportunities of information, tells
us that Captain McIntosh, of the steam
gunboat Louisiana, was buried in New
Orleans on the 14th of May.
All the other officers cf the Louisi
ana, with three exceptions, are priso
ners.
' Lieutenant A. F. Warley, of the
steam ram Manassas, is a prisoner at
Fort Warren.
Ga;-1. Mitchell, flag officer of the

Three Locomotives Stolen.—Tho ox-
pcctcd usual train on the Ohio railroad,
that should havo arrived at eleven
o’clock yesterday morning did not come
in, but last evening a hand car reached
here from Humboldt, by which intelli
gence was brought that some of the
engineers and other railroad employees
had taken the locomotivo belonging to
the train and gone up tho road from
Humboldt in the direction ofParis and
with two additional locomotives from
other points— one of which was engag
ed in taking down the -wire from tho
telegraph posts, and another was at
tached to a wooding train—and made
clear off. At a distance of a mile bo
yond Trezevant station, which is twen
ty miles beyond Humboldt, tho track
is partialy torn up, and five miles furth
er on a bridge crossed by tho road lias
been destroyed'.—Here it is evident the
runaways would bo brought to a stand
unless by pre-arrangement with the
enemy repairs had been made to ena
ble the locomotive to go on. Unless
this has been done, or there was a
Lincoln forco to guard them, tho prop
erty may be recovered. On finding
what was tho state of things a hand
car was sent up the road to obtain in
formation, and last night arrangements
were in preperation to dispatch a train
with military to bring back tho three
locomotives. Tho officers of the road
are naturaiy greatly annoyed on account
of this strange proceeding of persons
in their employment.—Memphis Appeal
4th inst.
JJSy A Baltimore paper says: Lieut.
Davis has succeeded, after some diffi
culty, in establishing communication
between the land forces under Gen.
McClellan and the gunboats in tho
James river, below City Point. He do
scribes the Gulcna as being so much
cut up with the enemy’s shot that she
will bo obliged to go into dock for re
pairs, before sho can be.brought into
action again.
Hoa Choleju Cured.—We learn says
the SaAannafp'News,” that Dr. James
Jr., of Upson county having lost over
a hundred hogs with the cholera, con
cluded to try the effect on a dry lot,
eleven being sink at the time. He
kept them three weeks without water.
The sick hogs recovered, the disease
was eradicated, and has not troubled
him since. His neighbors having since
tried it with the same flattering result.

The Quickest Way to End the War.
—A good story is told about congress
men, a number of whom proceeded to
Yorktown, to see tho sights after the
evacuation. A Michigan colonel was
in command of tho guard. Citizens
were prohibited admittance. Several
came up and asked the corporal to pass
thorn, saying that they wore Congress
men. Tho corporal stated the enso to
tho Colonel. •
“Tlioy aro Congressmen, aro they ?”
asked the Colonel.
“So they say.”
"Well let them pass and go where
they please,” suid the colonel. “Let
them tramp on the torpedoes, go into
tho magazines, and whore there is any
prospect of their being blown to the
devil, for that is tho quickest way to
end tho war.—Northern paper.
BSP The ltichmqjpl Dispatch says:
Wo may mention' an amusing scene
that, occurred of late near tho Mcclian-
icsvillo road. The 8th mid Oth Georgia
wore ordered out to meet and repel
the enemy, when, upon the men fal
ling in, one of tho 0th stopped fiom
the ranks and told the Captain "he
wasn’t ablo to fuco tho music.” "You
are seared,” said tho Captain ; “lay
down vour gun and accoutrements,
and retire, sir.” Tho chiokcn-heavtod
gentleman did so, when shortly after
wars there stepped fonvaid a gcod-
looking darkey named Wesley, well
known in camp, who asked permission
to put on tlie deserted accoutrements
and shoulder his gun. Tho request
being granted, Wesley followed the
company into action, and though the
shells and minnie balls of the enemy
were falling thick and fast about him,
Wqgloy never wavered, but brought
down a Yankee at every fire, Such
deed is worthy of remembrance, and
should inspire our soldiery with ten
fold energy and courage, if possible,
for if servants will do this what may
not bo accomplished by the master ?
Gen. Turner Ashby.
By a dispatch from Staunton, we
have tho confirmation of tho reported
death of Col. Turner Ashby, ut tho
time of his death a Brigadier-Gonenil
cavalry, attached to General Jackson’s
army. Wo are yet without tho partic
ulars of his death, except that ho fell
in a skirmish . with the enemy near
Harrisonburg, on Friday last. Gen.
Ashby was ono of the remarkable men
of this revolution. Jfis exploits of
daring and bravery in the valley aro
almost typical with those of Mnrion
and Morgan, of tho Revolution of 17-
70. At the commencement of ■ tho
war lie became tho leader of a small
band of cavalry, composed mostly of
the residents of tho counties invaded
and ravaged,men who wore driven
from their estates. They equipped
themselves witli ihc best horses and
private arms, and swore to stand with
and by, cncli other until the foo should
be driven from their soil. “Ashby’s
cavalry” became a household word in
the Yankee’s mouths. Was a picket
guard captured or a dasli made, into
their camp, it was "Ashby.” Their
letter-writers described his person, his
steed, and his acts of daring, and they
were numinous. Ho was more than
once cut off, his liorso shot from under
him, and himself narrowly escaping.—
Uis self posession and courage never
forsook lam, and to these qualities ho
confessed to liavo owed ids preserva
tion on several qcoasiuns.
Last winter, at Bath, his brother
Richard Ashby, was overpowered in a
skirmish by a dozen or more Yankees
and killed, and Turner received sever
al wounds in endeavoring toresouoliim.
It is said of him that lie then swore to
avenge with his own hand his brother's
death by the lives of an hundred Yan
kees. Ho about fulfilled his oatii be
fore the? messenger of death came to
him in tho skirmish of Friday.
His famo grow to bo such within tho
past few months that liis command
swelled from several hundred to as ma
ny thousand, andsiviftand telling were
tho blows he struck for the cause of
Southern independence.
Turner Ashby was a nutittp of Fau
quier county, Virginia, and was about
thirty-eight yeais of age. In personal
appearance ho was not commanding,
blit rather small ef stature, with a long
black beard, and small black eyes that
were remarkable for their piorcing
depths. Ho was the idol of the people
of tho Valley, and none could have
fallen who will bo more regretted by
them, if wo except the gallant lender
of tho army, Jackson.
Since tho above was prepaved, wo
have gleaned from a private lotter, re
ceived in Richmond, particulars of tho
death of tho lamented Ashby, llo was
lending the charge of his cavalry made
near Harrisonburg, which resulted in
tho capture of Sir Pcrcoy Worden, the
British baronet. Finding the enemy
supported by infantry, the cavalry fell
back to nwnit a similar support. As it
advanced Ashby rode ahead to point
out the position of tho onemy. While
so doing a Yankee, lying in ambush in
his path, shot him dead.—Richmond Ex
aminer.
