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- PEYTOH H. COLQUITT, ) W!tßr , JAMES W. WARREN. ( idltor * $5 rER ANNUM 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. m ♦ 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.” imm % m 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 visional Congress. A resolution lias been introduced into the Tennessee Legislature, appropriating SIOO,- 000 for the relief of the sufferers by the Char leston fire. _ Gen. Shields has accepted Lincoln’s appoint ment of Brigadier General, an<l is on his way from California to Washington.
