Nashville, Dec. 17.
Dispatches to the Cincinnati Commercial from
Frankfort, 19th, says advices from Somerset
state that yesterday morning at daylight, Gen.
Schouf, with all his force, marched out to attack
the rebel Zollicoffer in his position on Fishing
Creek, with 6,000 men and some artillery.
Schoaf’s force consists of two East Tennessee
Regiments, Haskin’s Ky., 17th, 31st, 35th and
38th, Ohio, Standort's Ohio and HewetUs Ky.,
batteries, of ten guns. Schoaf is confident of
whipping Zoliicofter with some hope of oapturing
hrs men. A battle took place yesterday or to
day.
The Ft. Louis Republican of the 20th says
Gen. Halleck this morning received a dispatch
from Gen. Pope stating that he had captured
150 out ofISOO rebels, reeruited_in Lexington,
together with the baggage and camp equip
age.
The Louisville Courier of to-day, says the
Federal authorities have notified the publish
ers of the Louisville Journal that a change in
its course is necessary for its continuance.
Items from the Savannah Republican.
By passengers who arrived by the Charles
ton train last eveuing, we learn that the firing
of heavy guns was heard yesterday morning in
the direction of Boyd’s Landing, about nine
miles from Adams’ llun Station, and it was
supposed that the were preparing to
effect a foothold on that landing, shell
ing the neighborhood.
Nothing of importance respecting the move
ments at Tybee. The Federal steamer and ferry
boat alluded to in our last as near Skull Creek,
left yesterday morning for parts at
least to us.
The “signal success', at Beaufort, says the
Bowling Green Courer, don’t seem as yet to
have glutted the Yankee markets with cotton.
Gen. Sherman may be waiting for it to reach
his figures, as all he got cost over ten dollars
per pound.
Christmas Eve Entertainment with the Yan
kees. —A brilliant engagement took place on the
afternoon of the 24th at Buckingham Ferry
between the Yankee steamer Mayflower and a
portion of Capt. Alexander D. Moore’s North
Carolina Battery, under command of first.Lieuts.
Baker and Miller. As the steamer emerged
from behind Pinckney Island, going down Skull
Creek, the North Carolina battery opened fire
upon her, and the second shot so disabled her
that she was driven by the force of the tide to
the opposite shore, when she returned the fire
with great animation for a half horn; butupon
being stricken several times with great effect,
hauled behind the island beyond the range ot
the battery, and commenced firing signals ot
distress. None of the North Carolina battery
were injured.
News from the Coast.
Our community were somewhat startled on
Thursday afternoon by the successive dis
charge and unusually loud reports of several
very heavy guns. Tbe tiring seemed to be in
the direction of Stono Inlet, which led to an
impression of an engagement between our
batteries and the enemy at that place, or at
some point on Wadmalaw or John’s Islands.
A gentleman who left Janies Island at half
past four and arrived in the city at 7 o’clock
last evening, reports that the heavy tiring was
caused by the enemy, who made a demonstra
tion and exchanged a few shots with our bat'
tery on Cole’s Island, with a view', as it was
supposed of testing the range of our guns.
The attack was commenced by the enemy
with one gunboat and two barges about a
quarter to three o’clock, and had ceased w r hen
our informantjeft. No damage was done to
our side, the shots all falling short. Whether
the enemy susiained any injury is not known.
Dispatches were also received in the city
yesterday afternoon stating that a fleet of 12
gunboats had passed up North Edisto Inlet as
far as White Point, and had made a demon
stration on our forces under the command of
Gen. Evans. The latter had telegraphed for
reinforcements, which were immediately or
dered to him, both from General Lee and Gen.
Ripley.
A fight at that point is imminent, as ii is
thought the enemy's intention was to get pos
session of the railroad about eight miles dis
tant.
Passengers by the Savannah Road Thurs
day afternoon report the enemy as having at
tempted a landing Wednesday night at Hud
son’s Landing, Red Bluff and Mar’s BlufE, un
der cover of their gunboats. Our pickets at
Hudson’s Landingwere reported to have been
driven in and the enemy landed a force of
about 250 men.
A detachment of the North Carolina Artillery
and Col. DeSausaure’s regiment, had been or-

dere l to reinforce our troops in that direction.
M )Uo loarn from passengers by the Savan
nah road by tha cripling of another of the ene
my’s gunboats Wednesday afternoon. A de
tachment of Capt. Moore’s North Carolina Artil
lery, under the command of Lieut Baker,fired at
one of these roving crafts at Buckingham Point,
with good effect, and inflicting serious damage
to the vessel. The wheel-house was knocked
away, and the splinters were seen to fly in every
direction. This vessel afterwards drifted with
the tide towards Hilton Head shore, and is now
lying up high and dry, completely disabled. Af
ter running on shore, those on board sent up
rockets as a signal of distress. The saucy craft
returned our fire for a time, but without doing
any damage.
Later. —Since writing the above we learn
that the first steamer that drew off' returned at
a late hour in the evening, in company with four
others, and anchored immediately opposite
Cole’s Island. It is supposed that an attack is
intended this morning. —Charleston Courier,
27th.

Terriblejxploit of a Rifled Cannon.
The Boston Courier publishes a letter of a
correspondent on board the United States
steamer Massachusetts, off’Ship Island, Octo
ber 26, giving an account of the affair between
that vessel and a-Confederate steamer, in
which the following extraordinary exploit of a
rifled cannon ball is chronicled :
During the action I think we hit her four
times, and I know she hit us once with a 63
pound rifle shell, (that is the 4 way we got the
exact size of her rilled gun.) The shell en
tered on our starboard quarter, just above the
iron part of the hull; it came through the side
angling aft (as we 4 were a little abaft his beam
when it struck us,) and took the deck in the
passage way between two state rooms, and
completely cut ofl’eighteen of the deck plank;
it then struck a beam, 4 which (canted it up a
little, so that it took the steam pipes under our
dining table, cutting off' five of them and tearing
our dining table all to pieces—then went through
the stateroom bulkhead and ceiling of the ship
on the opposite side, and struck one of the out
side timbers and broke every outside plank
abreast of it short off from the spar to the gun
deck; it then fell duvvn ou the cabin door and
exploded, knocking four stale rooms into one,
breaking all the glass arid crockery ware, shat
tering the cabin very badly, breaking up the
t'urniiure, and setting fire to the ship; but we
had three streams of water upon the li re at very
short notice, and put it out before it did any
damage-keeping up our chase as though noth
ing had happened.
The “Ska King.” —We copy the following
mysterious paragraph from the Texas Slate Ga
zette:
The invention of Mr. Creuzbaur, which is se
cret as yet, and tor the bringing of which to the
notice of the Confederate Government SSOO has
been appropriated, has been fully examined by
a committee of three scientific gentlemen appoin
ted by the Govenor, who reported in its lavor,
and express the opinion that a single vessel
properly constructed will be sufficient to clear
any port of a blockading fleet.
It is asked, What motive can induce the Yan
kees to rush thus blindly into a war with Eng
iang? We will answer that question, if someone
will tell us what motive influenced the herd of
swine told of in scripture, when they “ran violent
ly down a steep place into the sea, and were
drowned.” The swine were “possessed with dev
ils,” and the Yankees seem to le in the same
fix.— Lou. Courier.
Antics of Northern Fashionables. —The
announcement is made by the Northern journals
with great gravity, that the other day Mrs. Pres
ident Lincoln, in doing her shopping in New
York, carried her own bundle, now it is
“fashionable” for ladies to do it. Mrs. Morgan,
of New York, not to be behindhand, attended a
lecture at Albany, a few evenings ago, occupied
a prominent seat, and knit as industriously as
her grandmother on a soldier’s stocking. Great
is fashion, when teaching by example.— N. O.
Bn'letin.
More But Less.—“lt is a very singular
thing,” said a tailor’s apprentice to his master
as the latter was pressing a bobtail coat, “tha*
the less there is of some thing?, the more there
is.”
“ llow can that be?” said the tailor.
“ Why, there is that bobtail coat—the less you
make the tail the more bob it is.”

The Macon Telegraph informs us thatN.C
Bass, Esq., of Bibb county, has been appointed
the successor of lion. E. A. Nisbet in the Pro

A resolution lias been introduced into the
