GUERRILLAS AT CLARKSVILLE.—TU%
Nashville Union, we are informed, coh-‘
tsins a most pitiful and mournful whine
over the reported surrender of Gen
Maron’s (Federul) Kentucky regiment
stattonad aCClarkesvVtte, Tentt., to a
company of guerillas. It appears that
a demand was sent in by the Captain of
a company of partisans for the surren
der of the place and garrison, whercup
on Col. Mason commanded his regi
ment to stack arms and march out, ho
having some time ago oetirmined to
let old Abo and his abolition doctrines
slide tho first opportunity. It is sur
raised here that the partizan ohisf who
accomplished this feat is Lt. Col. Wood

killed at Hopkinsville a short time
since.— Chat. Rebel.
Our Tennesson Correspondence.
Camp near To/Sewili?, 1
August 18, 1802. J
Dear Cockier Our last letter stated
that the forces in this vicinity were
quietly awaiting the movements.of the
Confederate troops sent into Kentucky,
via Big Creole Gap. This force Is a
largo one, commanded by Gon. E. Kir
by Smith in person, and slowly but
effectually, they are being deployed into
position on the west side of Cumberland
Gap; these movements are made in
con unotion with those of our forces
on this side of tho Gap, under com
mand of Gen. Stevenson; when the
Opportune moment arrives wo wil lgrad-
tinlly narrow tho cirolo, and endeavor
to completely invest the ten or twelvo
thousand Fcderals now reported at the
Gap, compelling them either to fight,
capitulate or starve.
We loam that they are still strength
enirg the fortifications, that they have
a largo amount of Commissary stores
on hand, and that, they intend to hold
their position as long ns possible. We
must nccknowledgO that they occupy
nu almost impregnable stronghold, and
that it will be a difficult matter to dis
lodge them; our Generals will be en
titled to most worthy laurels should
they sucoeed in accomplishing their
present plans.
On Saturday morning tho majority
of the forces hero were provided with
ten day’s rations, and left lor the vi
cinity of the Gap ; wo are now scutterr
ed at different points betwoen Tazewell
and Stevenson—three miles from the
Gup, and are speedily 'getting posses
sion of such postions as will aid us in
surrounding tho enemy.
The Federals had batteries planted
near Powell's River and Patterson's,
and wore engaged yesterday morning
in shelling the woods where our men
were encamped ; no danger was done.
A slight oavalry skirmish also occurred,
and a detachment of the 3d Georgia
surprised some pickets,,capturing three
of them, and securing several horses.
We have plenty of forces, and our
men feel confident that the Gap will
pvove a trap to the Fodcrnla. We trust
that ere this .flinches you, the flag of
tho South will again proudly float upon
the ramports of “the key of Tennessee”
—an earnest of better days to the fair
laud which lies beyond its western
slope. Iso.

Dear Courier:—Although nothing
of spaohil, importance has transpired
hereabouts, within tho last ten days,
yet a brief statement of Bitch incidetits
as havo served to break upon the mo
notony of camp-life,'may be interesting
to your readers. The Beige is progres
sing, and we but await sonto further
movements of our foroos on the Ken
tucky side of the Gup, to hasten the
grand denouement, for which we are
so wistfully desirous.
A detachment of the 11th Tonnessee
'Regiment, under command of Colonel
Ruins,-startod outone dark night lately,
upon a recon Hollering expedition, and
after a toilsome and dangerous march,
succeeding in scaling the Cumberland
Mountuin, and gotling within -a few
hundred yards of the main battory
supporting the right wing of tho onomy.
This was a bold feat, achieved in a man
ner worthy of the man who conceived
it, and oarried it into executieu. Col.
James U. Rains, or Nashville, is a brave
and noble soldier; although young,
and not a military man by profession,
yet lie 1ms proved himself an able and
skillful General, always ready to per
ceive and improve 6very opportunity of
harassing the enemy, and bettering
ourselves, llo is now acting our Brig
adier General, and his bearing towards
tho men, and the interest which ho
exhibits on their behalf, has made ull
desirous that he may evcntunlly as
sume permanent command of tho 2d
Brigade.
Another detachment of our forces
made a dash within the enemy’s lines
a few days ago, and succeeded in cap
turing a large numbor of horses, boeves
add sheep. A portion of the 3d Geor
gia Battalion also surprised a Yankee
sutler establishment, capturing the
proprietor, with his whole stock of
“notions” and $800 in gold, silver, and
“green backs; ” consequently, combs
thread, needles, buttons, &c„ are now
on sale hero at figures considerably less
than blockade prices
It would seem ns if our Generals’
plan of securing possession of the Gap,
is to scurve the enemy into capitulation;
it is presumed that their present supply
of provisions will not Inst over ten or
fifteen days; a lurge train of comtnis
s-.ry stores succeeded in reaching the
Gup a day or two before our forces ob
tained possession of their lines of com
munication With Lexington, Ky.—their
base of supplies.
Reynold’s Brigade and the 3d Geor
gia Battalion wore ordered, on tho 23<
inst./to Barboursville, Kentucky’. It is
rumored that Gen. Kirby Smith is now
marching towqgiU Lexington ; Genera)
McCown is. pushing rapidly towards
the Gap; some of bur pickets, just

The Chattanooga Rebel, of the 29th,
publishes a report from At(j. Chundlen
of the 32cl Ala, lieg., from which wo
take the following, in rogard to the
Battle of Bridgeport:
The 32cl Ala. Regiment numbering
330 fighting men recoived niurcliiug
orders yesterday morning, (27th inst.,)
to cross tho Tennessee, and support
Capt. Rice’s company of detnohed cav
alry, arrived at Bridgeport, at 11 o’clock
A. M., and found that the place had
been evacuated the night beforo by the
Federalists. A few moments uftc: wards
it having been ascertained that tho en'
cmy were approaching in forco from
Battle Creek, across the James’ Creek
bridge, Capt. Rice was ordered, with
his company of cavalry, to check their
advanoo. Out regiment was drawn up
in line of battle behind the crest of a
commanding hill, Capt. Rico's gallant
little band of 25 men being pursued by
the enemy, intervals were made in our
line, through which they safely passed t
when they reformed in our reur.
The enemy, consisting of a detach
ment of cavalry and infantry, number
ing 600 men, immediately attacked our
centre, and right and left wings, when
they were signally repulsed four times,
retiring with loss and confusion.
Gen. Muxey inspired our men with
liis cheering presence, and with distin
guished valor and intrepidity endeared
himself to our command.
Our loss was two v.-ounded. Tho en
emy’s loss was 44 killed and wounded.
The Rebel says that Capt. Rice’s com
pany lost four wounded and one miss,
ing. While the fight was going on at
Bridgeport, Capt. Dure’s Battery, (Jaok.
son Artillery from Mncbn, Gtv.) opened
on the enemy’s works at. Battle Creek,
and shelled them during tho day, pre
venting them from removing the tkeir
stores and munitions which they were
attempting to do. At night the enemy
evacuated the place, leaving upwards of
$25,000 worth of stores, munitions, &c.,
which wore secured by Gen. Maxey.
The Ladies’ Gunuoav.—Wc ore grat
ified to he authorized to announce to
the patriotic and generous women of
South Carolina, that it was determined,
yesterday, in consultation witn Captain
Ingraham, that the Confederate iron
clad Gunboat recently bulitnud launch
ed under his auspices, in this har
bor' shall bear the proud and timo-
honored name of “The Palmetto
State .” Due notice will be given of
the public ceremonial intended to ac
company the public bestowal of toe
name. We congratulate the Ladies of
South Carolina on haring accomplished
tkeir cherished project, and given to
Charleston the means of naval defence
against Federal rants and mortar fleets.

been a free-will offering bn the altar of
my blooding country, and if it has been
acceptable to God and the Stato, I am
satisfied. Tilts may be said without
egotism, my efforts have boon tho spon
taneous offursions or an honest enthusi
astic heart.
Tho first thing I would mention is
the superior facil'ties for writing on
war topics, enjoyed by a man at homo
over one in the field. Paradoxical ns
this may seem, It 'is easily explained.
There is less time to rend and littlo to
read in camp ; at home one may gene
ralize, in curnp he must bo restricted
much in his view of current events, and
be confined to local incidents and un
certain reports.
Your estimate of the 3d Georgia Cav
alry, (Col. Martin J. Crawford) Was
quite flattering, but it seems to be al.
most the universal opinion that it is
the finest mounted regiment in the
army. It has made a tine impression
in this place—it is nearly up to the
maximum for Cavalry—800 men—t.nd
nearly all in fine health.' Wecan hard
ly expect to maintain our present sta
tus mil prestige, while subsistingon half
rations for our horses. The country
abounds in forage, nnd the time is just
at hand when it will bo more abundant,
all that is needed is efficiency in tho
Quartermasters Department.
Col. Crawford is regarded ns a lino
drill officer, and his discipline is strict,
some think oven to a fault. 1 do not.
think so, and for one am glad a milita
ry chief (Gen. Bragg) rules this Depart
ment, who is strict even to rigidity. I
have not yet scon Gen. Bragg, but have
seen Major Gen. Simon B. liucknor, a
mun I have admired ever since rending
his proclamation to his beloved, but
dishonored Kentucky. You will always
tbink of Fort Donelson and Fort Wnr-
;cn when you see Buckner, but he does
not look like a defeated General, nor
one that had been incarcerated for six
months. In person he is such a man
as a tasteful woman would admire, in
mind such as an ambitious man would
envy.
Major Gen. Polk looks like an iron
made man—in physique reminds me of
Walter T. Colquitt, a man that could
do anything from the preaching of a
sermon down to a fight. Besides these,
I have seen none of our Gcnct-als here,
except Maxey, our Brigadier, the most
unmilitary looking man imaginable in
his dtess and manners. He was a class
mate of McClellan, nnd at one time
McClellan was his Adjutant.
The 3d Georgia Cavalry was placed (I
suppose temporarily) in Maxey’s Brig
ade stationed near Bridgeport. We
had quite a lively time for new begin-,
ners, on Wednesday the 27th August.
Cannonading was beard ft few miles
from our camp, which wo supposed to
be from the enemy at Bridgeport', but
afterwards learr.ed that Gen. Maxey
was shelling the Yankees at Battle
Creek, which he did successfully, both
in driving them from their position,
capturing stores, and in losing none of
his command. Our regiment being en
camped several miles off, did not wit
ness tho cannonade.
But while we were oatirtg ft very sa
vory dinner, an excited courier came
dashing into camp and reported a fight
at Bridgeport, just aoross the river.
Judging from his. monner as well as
language, the tide seemed to be against
the Confederates. Tho first sensation
of battle was now felt by the' 3d Gear-

Lieut. Col. ICennon was in command

a day of excitement, and now it is ex
pected that tho 3dGeorgia Cavalry "will

Later prom Europe.—By tbe arrival
oft Capo Race of the steam ship Teuto
nia, we have advices from Europe three
days Inter than by , the Europa. Tho
must important news by this arrival
relates to Italian affairs. The Italian
squadron had been ordered to Ancona,
to watch tho Adriatic coast. Garibaldi-,
with five hundred volunteers, was on
tho march, and supposed to be trying
to reach Messina. He had occupied
Rocca, nnd had made a speech, in
which ho declared that he opposed tho
Government because it would not let
him go to Rome; and opposed France
because she defended the Pope. He
expressed his determination to-havo
Rome'or die. From. France we have
the rumor that the Mexican expedi
tionary force will be very large. Tho
choicest officers pnd men of, the Ver
sailles Artillery are said to be under
orders. A division of gunboats for
Mexico was itlso being armed. Tho
distress in tho Cotton districts of .Eng
land is increasing. Tho,Liverpool Cot
ton market was quiet and steady for.
Sabres had been procured for the whole
command, but up to that 1 time only
guns enough to arm a squadron, wliioh
consists of two companies. In thirty
minutes, in full gallop the Regiment
moved towards'Bridgeport, * leaving on-
ly-the Chaplain and tho sick in camp,
with a’few timid men who rofused to
go, probably in view of the hazard
of swimming tho river, whioli, at
this point must bo a quarter of ft mile
wide.
During the preceding night,' Captain
Rice’s Cavalry Company had passed, the
Rubicon, and nftor them an infantry
rogiment, all. wading and swimming.
Beyond Bridgeport Rice’s Cavalry came
upon the enemy, and being too feeble
to contend alono, they led the Yankees
back to tbe infantry support. The In
factry being masked drove the' enemy
from the field without any loss on their
part. Capt Rico’s loss was 3 wounded
and one missing, the enemy's loss sup.
posed to be 20. Of course this was on
ly a creditable skirmish, which leaves
us in possession of Bridgeport.
The crossing of the river by Colonel
Crawford’s command, was all the part
it took in the affair—the fight was over
before the cavalry arrived. But tlie

A Word to the Wise.—We would
warn our readers of tho folly of buying
tho dark and impure salt that Is brought
from tho ooast. It'will not save meat,
but will spoil it. Wo ar.e informed that
some of the salt-makers, who are mak
ing for market, make an inferior arti
ole, for which they charge six and eight
dollars a bushel. It were better to give
twelve dollars or more per bushel and
get a good article than to buy that
Which is comparatively worthless nt
half the price. If our people will re
fuse to buy tho inferior article it will
soon induoe Bait-makers to make good
salt. Pure salt is white, and that is
best for saving moat is large grained,
