Mondav, 2 o’clock, Pi it.—Wo learn
from passengers, by the train just in,
that there had boon no engagement up
tojast night. The enemy’s lino was
.then about nine miles this side of Chat
tanooga and extending from tho State
road towards Lookout mountain.
There is reported heavy artillery duel
ling at different points nloeg the lines
yestorday (Sunday) and very lively
skirmishing.
A dispatch was received at Kingston!
stating, that tho bodies of Brig. Gen.
Preston Smith of Tonn., one. of his
aids, and Capt. King all killed on Sat-
ifrdnyi would bo down on the night
'train, Gert. Gregg of S. C. passed
dawn the vend Sunday, wounded. Ho
tfai'l our troops got much tho better of
tits fight on Saturday—that wo drovo
back both the flanks of tho enemy but
could not movo their centre.
It is rumored that Gen. Ilood, was
wounded-tn the leg. Thoro are vari
ous other rumors In circulation that
ive.can.find no foundation for.
Arc you Joking?
Wocnnr.ot account Tor a short item
that appeared in tho Atlanta Confede
racy of last Saturday, unless it bo that
the editor of that paper has got out of
patience, because we have been so very
cticenl in regard to recent army move
ments in this vicinity. Our cause,
lias, without doubt, in some instances
adored by the press being too commu
nicative, and wo had much rather tlie
publio longings for late news, would
a, for a time unsatisfied, than that
our army movements should be in any
wise ill danger of being embarrassed,
by being made publio. If wo have
been so over nice in this particular
tlistit is rogaded as a fault, the editor of
llie,Confederacy, must at least, admit
that it is one that “leans to virtue’s
side.”
If, however, the Confederacy is really
in earnest in the sweeping charge, ns
11 our roaders know, ho doc3 us gross
njustice. The following is tho para
graph alluded to :
Tho Homo Courier has shown tho
greatest indiscretion that wo liavo oh

A Female Soldier.—One day last

$5oy, applied to Lieut, l’orry to be on

regiment at Cleveland, killed 15, woun
ded a largo number and captured 30,
routing ihe enemy and taking possess
ion of the town.
Tho enemy,s Cavalry shelled Ring*

but -were routed and driven back.
At noon lo-day our forces engaged
tho enemy in front of Itinggold and
drove them back with considerable loss.
On yesterday Gen. Bragg addressed

Tho greatest enthusiasm prevails.

Last Sunday night Col.Sam’l Stewart
hearing a slightdisturbanco in his back
yard went out to learn the cause, lie
found two mon apparently soldiers
who altempted-to run on his approach,
lie drew his repeater and ordered them
to stop. They obeyed biuas they could
givo fio satisfactory reason for their
presenco thoro, ho informed .them that
they would have to march to the guaid
Mouse before him. This with oaths
and cursing they at firsProfused to do,
but lie, • in a very decided manner,
nssured thorn that lie would shoot them
if they did not obey him, and they fi
nally went. On tho way they came up
with two other men whom they impor
tuned to release them from tho custody
of “this damned citizen,’’ ns they called
tho Col. but lie compelled them also to
keep at a distance, and oarried’liis pv's-
oners to the guard house, mid turned
them over to tho Provost Guard.
Col. ,Stewart and nearly every, citizen
of this.plnco have invariably supplied,
without pay, all reasonable wants of
soldiers when they came in a proper
way and asked lor tho things needed,
but tills sneaking round back lots and
stealing chickens, i*ce, is disgraceful to
all who engage in it and every true
soldier and every citizen ought to do
all in their power to bring £ho guilty
parties to punishment. Most of the
stealing, wo have no doubt, is done by
stragglers and mean hangers on to llio
army, and nil honest soldiers ouglifto
be active in their elfurls to expose
them, leyhaps if the Provost Guaid
could establish a thorough system of
Patrolling much of tho stealing in
town might be stopped’.
