Battale at Matamoras.
New Orleans, Dec. 11.
Caravajal, at the head of the Rosas party at
tacked Matamoras on the 20th ult. After twenty
hours severe fighting the issuo was doubtful.—
Caravejal had at onetime possession of a part if
the town, but Garoia made a sally and drove all
Caravajal’s men out. A Brownsville paper of
the 21st says that the conflict is still going on,
with incessant firing and great carnage ou both
sides.

A Fight at the Dry Fork of Cheat River... a Fight
never yet published.
Franklin, Pendleton Cos., Va. )
December 3, 1861. J
On the 14th of Sept, last the Yankees attemp
ted to pass through the Dry Fork of Cheat Riv
er, so as to penetrate into the county of Pendle
ton. They had no idea that a few hunters liv
ing in the fastnesses of the rugged Alleghauies,
would try to intercept or molest them. One hun
dred and ninety two picked men left Beverly
and marched to John Taylor's on the 13th of
that month. On the 14th they marched to Lau
rel Fork, a branch of the Dry Fork of Cheat
River. By the time that the Yankees had arri
ved at the Laurel Fork, Capt. Sampson Elzy
had collected 21 men together, who at once de
termined to give them —nothing dauDted
on account of the fearful odds arrayed against
them.
They awaited the approach of fc the enemy
with steady, firm nerves, and when within a
proper distance, the sharp crack of 20 rities
broke the deep and solemn silence of the Val
ley of Dry Fork. Seventeen men fell dead
and three were morally wounded. Panic
stricken, they attempted to retreat. A youth
by the name of Hendrick, who had, found a
musket lost by the first Georgia regiment, on
their retreat lioiii “Laurel Hill,” had loaded
his musket with 30 ride balls, and as the foe
came rushing by, this youthful hero fired into
their midst, wounding several more. Some of
the Yankees broke out into a thicket of laurel,
and the rest ran nine miles before coming to
a halt.
Such is the victory won by twenty-one brave
mountaineers, and one of them only a youth.
System of Bounties and Furloughs for Our Army.
We have already had the news by telegraph
that Congress had passed a bill granting a
bounty of fifty dollars to all privates and non
commissioned otficers in the Provisional Ar
my who shall serve continuously for three
years or tor the war, to be paid at the expira
tion of the first term of service to those re-en
listing for the next two ensuing years.
Th<*bill also provides that s xty days’ fur
loughs, with transportion home and back,shall
be granted to the twelve months’ men who
shall enlist for the next two ensuing years; or,
in lieu for a furlough, the commutation value
in money of the transportation shall be paid to
each private or non-commissioned officer who
may elect to receive it.
Both provisons of the bill, it is understood,
that with respect to bounties and that with re
spect to furloughs, are designed to encourage
and facilitate the re-enlistment of the twelve
months’ men.
It is understood, as lar as we have ascer
tained the enactments of the bill, that the
troops revolunteering or re-enlisting, shall, at
the expiration of their present term of service,
have the power to reorganize themselves into
companies and elect their company officers,
and %*aid companies shall have the power to
organize themselves into battalions or regi
ments and elect their officers ; and after
the first election all vacancies shall be filled by
promotion from the company, battalion or reg
iment in which such vacancies may occur.
The Position of Delaware.
The Legislature of Delaware has been convened
in extraordinary session. Gov. Burton has sent
in his Message, which relates entirely to the
national troubles and the position of the State
in relation thereto. The Message opened as
follows:
It is with unfeigned regret that I cannot ad
dress you with the usual congratulations on the
peace, prosperity and happiness of 'he country ;
but notwithstanding it is unfortunately involved
in a civil war, one of the most deplorable calami
ties that can befall a country, we have great rea
son to render thanks to the Ruler of the Universe
that Delaware is not the scene of action, and
that we are not in the midst of its horrors and
terribi© ravages.
Our citizens have acted in a manner highly
creditable to them, and well deserve the quiet
they have enjoyed. Those, if there be any, and
doubtless there are some everywhere, whose sym
pahathies incline to the South, are quiescent,
laying no impediments in the way of the Govern
ment, nor affording itsjenemies any sort of aid-
Some of the innumerable rumors afloat through
out the country, may, perhaps, represent a dif
ferent state of things; but were the test of truth
properly appliedjto those reports, most of them
would be found wholly unreliable.

The Hanging of the Bridge Burners.,.lts Effect.
Greenville, Tenn. Dec. 2.
The two doomed culprits were not aware of
; their doom until a few moments before the hour
4 o’c.ock P. M.,and short as the time was, they
busied themselves in speaking on oath their
con ession of guiit berore the Court Martial. Fry
confessed that he poured the turpentine on the
bridge, and afterwards set fire to this combusti
ble material, carried the sentinel off some half
mile, and made him swear never to reveal the
names of the offenders. Providence has saved
the sentinel the trouble, for they have met the
fate so justly meted out to them. They came in
sight of the gallows—a temporary affair erected
on the hill-side in full vieiv of the town—and a
large limb was substituted as the crossbeam for
this novel engine of death, and a shudder passed
over them which was perceptible by all. They
then knew that in a few moments they must die
the death of a felon.
The whole battalion under arms was drawn
up around the ground, and the ropes were ad
justed by Corporal McVay of our company—
the caps drawn over the pale faces, the ladder
was taken from the tree—the stillness of death
pervaded the whole throng—the minute hand
was in a few seconds of four o'clock—the watch
still went tick, tick —their knees shock visibly
the whole frame was ready to give way to na
ture’s spirit—hara! it is four o’clock. The trig
ger is touched—and lo! dangling at the rope's
end, between heaven and earth, are seen two
struggling human beings! The struggles of one
were shori; the other_ seemed a little loth to give
up the spirit from its tenement of clay, bm iu a
few short moments they were both dead.
It has bad a wonderful effect on L nioitisnu
here, aud scores are coming in night and day,
taking the oath of allegiance to our government
and by this serious service, proclaim to the world
that they will defend it against all .its enemies.
A Hilton Head correspondent of the Boston
Transcript tells a barrowing tale of a big bowie
knife, which he found stuck three inches deep in
a negro cabia door. “Captain John frowd him
knife’’ at a negro who dodged it. So a negro
told the Yankee nincompoop. Perhaps the lie is
of his own invention. More houses have beeu
built at Hilton Head in one month than we have
buit at Manassas iu six. The Yankees have “set
up shop” there tor life as they imagine.
Captured.—St. Joseph’s, Mo., Nov. 29.—A
band of Confederates, under the notorious S. K
Gordon, captured three United States officers —
Captain Robb, Captain White, and Lieut. Mern
light—from a railroad train at Western to-day.
On the 30th ult., a soldier named Crawford,
a member of the Vicksburg Artillery, fell doWu
the stairway at Fort Mcßae, and was so se
verely injured tnat he died the next day.
Romantic Story Exloded.—The New Or
leans Delta explodes the bit of literature which
appeared in the Brooklyn (N, \\) Times, pur
porting to be founded on a love and matrimonial
affair, in which Hon. John Slidell and Capt.
Wilkes figure as rivals for the same fair hand.
The Delta, says: “Mr. Slidell came to Louisiana
in 1824 or ’26, and Captain Wilkes went into the
naval service from North Carolina perhaps about
the same period. Mr. Slidell married his wife
about 1840. She is a Creole lady, and Capt.
Wilkes was as far removed from her knowledge
and her thoughts at the time of her marrioge as
Louisiana or&Dge blossoms and female beauty are
removed from Connecticut snows and pumpkin
piety.”
The Yankees in Louisville—Gentlemen re
cently arrived from Louisville report that when
they left, the oity was fairly in possession of the
Yankee troops. The Guthrie Grey Regiment, of
Cincinnati, and other troops from Western Vir
ginia, had been granted the freedom of the city,
and they got on a big drunk and o mmitted all
manner of outrages. Large numbers of them
were arrested and confined in the new prison at
