RAGLAND, J. W. WARREN* *. CO. January Ist, 1884 Death of Harry Macarthy.— Harry Macarthy, the "Arkansas coiumedian,” the man of many parts and infinite jest, the versatile singer and personator of charac ter is dead. His death took place near At lanta, Georgia, a few days ago, but we have not the particulars of it. Bxphmtioh into Florida.— -Wo learn that an official dispatch was received hare this mot* nlng, says the Savannah Republican, stating that eighteen Yankee vessels, gunboats and transports ascended the St. John’s river yester day and landed a considerable body of troops at Jacksonville. Latest accounts represent them to be advancing in the dirootion of Lake City, though of. this there is some doubt. One of three objects is contemplated by this movement, which is doubtless the same that has been preparing at Hilton Head for some time past, though it is somewhat strange that none of our coast pickets should have discovered and re ported their sailing southward. Tho enemy may design scouring the State of Florida, if the force, of whose exact number we ha?e no information, • should warrant it, and then, by a union with Troops from Pensacola, proceed to Mobile and co-operate in the attack on that city. Another hypothesis is, that they coutemplwte a raid into Southern Georgia, with the belief that it affords a fine field for operations in the destruction of stores, Jbo. A third, and most probable conjec ture is, that the whole affair is designed as a di version to draw attention from a more important movement elsewhere. We shall probably hear further before our morning edition goes to press. Good if True. —A business letter from Cen terville, Mississippi, dated the 26th ult., says: "I saw a letter from Jackson, Louisiana, a few days ago, which stated that Bunks’ army, in attempting to cross the Colorado ]Was attackedjby Magruder and cut to pieces, killing and cap turing nearly the whole command. It was also stated that the enemy had been heavily reinforced at Ba’on Rung! and Port Hudson, and they in tended to extend their lines to the New Orleans Jackson and Groat Northern railroad, and forage upon tho country." The Currency JSUt. Wo are well assured, says the Richmond Ex-* arniner of the 6th lost., that the Confederate Senate has passed the eurenoy bill in secret ses sion, and that what is known as Oldham’s plan —a tax on the currency—is rejected. The House bill has been radically amended; and we are disposed to believe that the ground of oompro. wise between the two Houses will bo the con stitution of 7i new currency, limited to two hun dred millions of dollars, and sustained either by a pledge of oolton, or a special appropria tion of future revenues. The fact is, Congress has got to sea on the currency, and before the bouses can accommodate their differences, it is not unlikely tbe session may expire. Tlx® Ichletwick and Hoiafeln Diffi culty. The question of the Dutchies of Schles wick add liolaiein seems lik. iy to disturb the peace of Europe, and bring on the col« lision which the Polish question failed to produce The powers of that country ap* pear to be aiming and geitiug ready for the coming battle. Unless there is a backing down from the position taken by some of them, war must follow. The Wilmington Journal gives the annexed ,saetch ot the matter: The Schleswick and Holstein Dutchies are attached to the crown of Denmark, but not, as they contend, to the Kingdom of Denmark, the King of Denmark only exer cising authority in Holstein or Schleswick, as Duke, of Ilolnteiu or D jke of Schieswick. At any rate the rule of succession is differ ent from that prevailing in Denmark prop* er, as in the Dutchies the Salio law prevails, which prohibits succession in the female line, as is the case in Hanovor, by reasou ol which, on the accession of Queen Victoria to the English crown, that ot Hanover be® came seperated from it, aud devolved upon one of the late King’s brothers. It becoming apparent during thtlifeof the late King of Deumark that in him the direct lu.e was likely to fail, he made a de cree to render ihe succession itji his differ ent possessions, the Duchies as well as the K ogdorn proper, uniform. A member of a junior branch of the house of Augusten burg, was agreed upon as his successor, by a convention held in London, and this ac tion was accepted by the Danish Parliament; but the people ot the Dutchies contend that it was not submitted i,» them), nor consented to by them. They with the German Con federation, ot which they claim to be a part, support the right of Prince Frederick, the head of the elder brand] of tbe house of Augustenburg, and the German Federal forces are prepared to enter the Dutchies to enforce their rights as members of the German body as opposed to the consolida tion proposed by Denmark.. This involves the powers who were parties to the con» vtnttou of London, especially England aud Russia. It eeema that hostilities are invi table, as neither Denmark nor t(je German ic body will yield an inch. These Dutchies have been long attached t. the crown of Denmark, although strong ly Germanic in character. Holstein be came a dependency of Denmark in 1459, During tbe revolution year of 1843, Sles wick and Holstein revolted from Denmark to join tbe German Empire, but as that project fell through, eo did the revolt in the Dutchiea. RoMcrasi’ Official Report. Tbe New York World gives tbe follow ing epitome of the official report of Gen Rosecrans of the battle of Chickamauga: 1. That he maneuvered Bragg out of Chattanooga, but was obliged to fight hTm before getting a secure possession of it him aud thus the stretching of his line, s > much cemplained of, was a part of the strat egy which accomplished the main pur pose. 2. His own army was quite too small for the work he had in band, being largely outnumbered by the infantry force of the enemy. Hence, much more defended upon active and correct handling of his men than if his forces had been sufficient. It is pfain too, that while his dispositions were made to his mind for tbe first day of the fight, and so succeeded, that on the second day there was something of blundering by sontre body, and that to this tbe enemy owed all the advantage they gained. It would not be strange it it has to be distributed some what; nor that it should prove to be due to the extreme tension of brain and musclefto which parties had been so long subjected. Men bodily overworked 'cannot always be themselves. The country, too. was rough, broken and unexplored. 3. His own losses Gen Rosecrans puts definitely down as 36 pieces of artillery, 20 caissons aud 8000 stands of small arms.— Our loss in prisoners exceeded that of tbe enemy 5,500, of whom 2,500 were woun ded. 4. There was no general defeat of the army on either day. One division, a part of two brigades, and a regiment, were routed and no more. All the rest of the army was in position on the second night. Gen Ros ecrans attributes the loss of so much artille ry to the broken nature of the ground, which made it impossible to get it off under the presence of superior forces. i 5. His relinquishment of the ground, af ter the second day, was partly the result of necessity and partly strategical, His road to Chattanooga had been secured the first day of the fight, and had never been lost.— The fight was for the possession of this road. He could have probably held his po sition where it was the evening of the st*c« ond day’s battle. But as his aimy had beeu weakened by the rout of ono division, and no supports were near, and as Chattanooga was the real object in view, he deemed it prudent lo withdraw into it, and to relin quish the advantages of possessing the bat** -tie fields. Wliat the Confederates will do In the West. Tbs Philadelphia Inquirer, of the Ist, has the following editorial under the caption given above: When men are in desperate straits, and before they are about to abandon their cause as hope, less they make desperate resolves ; the “one more effort/' is apt to be attained with unwont ed energy, and is proportionally the more dan gerous. Just such, as we have often is the rebel condition at present, and just such is the manifest tendency of their plane. Threat ened invasions of Eastern Kentucky and .South ern Tennessee, by a movement of Longstreet westward, and by a northern movement from Alabama, seem to indicate a purpose to make one more herculean effort to transfer the war from their own blasted and desolated fields into regions of plenty. We should not, therefore, rest content with what has been done, or lull ourselves into security that the end is so near. They will not give np without another and a harder struggle. There are plans to be thwarted, new combinations to be met, hard battles to be fought before we reach the end. They have at least two hundred thousand men in the field, and the forced conscription of every arm-bearing man, whioh they are now rushlessly carrying out, will swell those ranks before the winter is over into a formidable mass. If we have four hundred thousand let us remember that we stand towards them in the attitude of besiegers, occupying an exterior lino still, and that we should have, all other things being equal, a much larger force than theirs. To this end the cry of every General in high command is, men ! Let our present force be doubled, and let us work in these precious months of winter to prepare an overwhelming advance in the spring, or earlier if need be. Every effort the Tebels have made to invade the loyal North has been a failure, but wo think it not unlikely that they will try again in the spring, and in the directions we hav indicated. Os this we believe our most distinguished officers feel tolerably sure. How is such a plan to be met? By extreme vigilance at every print for the present; great mobility in tbe troops, rapidly reinforcing any threatened point, but above all, by counter plans; by new inoursions upon them as soon as may be. We are forced to be con tent at present with that apparent, inactivity whioh merely masks vigorous but silent prepa paratieus; but w« are sure that the spring and summer of 1864 wilt constitute an eventful pe - riod, the issue of which will depend on ourselves, i'o those who listen to syren voices whioh under value the foe It may be disastrous. To those who think nothing has been done, while every* thing remains to be done, and who grow more energetic, more vigorous, more determined, as we near tbe end, we predict a speedy and com plete success. We have received toe intelli gence that Johnston’s army has fallen from Dalton beyond Kingston, .and probably to At lanta. At .a glance thie seems to accord wi.li our general view. They have sent additional forces to Longstreet; feeling sure that just now Grant's prinoipai attention is direoted in that quarter, and ihat be will hardly advance southward on their line of retreat. We are informed that Morgan, who it was raiiored threatened to out the communications between Chattanooga and Knoxville, is really going to make a raid in Eastern Kentucky with seven regiments of cav ry. .Knoxville, and rai is from it iu every di rection, form the present field of chief interest. There the eagles ere gathering. Presidest Davis ardthe Senate.— We are privately adviced that the Presidenj yields to the Senate, and that law ton’s name as Q. M. General has been sent to that body for continuation as successor < ( Myers Lawton’s appointment will 10 doubt be confirmed. We believe that this is the first instance in which President Da vis has yielded a point to the Legislative Department ofthe government. Perhaps we may now have a better un derstanding between the Senate and the President as to the terms of tenure of office by members of the Cabinet. 8p««l«t Dispatch. D altos, Feb. 9. It is ascertained that the enemy's force which lately visited Lebanon, DcKaib county, A!a., consisted of a Division of Infantry and a brigade of cavalry The enemy is pushing forward troops from Chattanooga towards Cleveland, probably to hol'd the railroad. , ■ ■ ' An official dUpatoh received last night states that the enemy entered Jackson, Mississippi with a column of 80,900.—[Mont. Advertiser. For Throe. Mouths, $8 pCorr. apondeiue ofihe Single Router ] I.otter from Mciitllan. FJ> 7, 13:71. After telegraphing on FxiiLt> at itoon of tiio brilliant affair, oX - lire Texans under Ross,on llte Yazoo, ~nd the advance of the Federate rtii Clinton and Jricfe&d'h by the different roads, I was unable to send you any more nfews in of the ex citement attendant on the evacuation ot Jackson, wnd my inability to procure an ap proval of a dispatch, without winch no re ports are allowed to pass. TimFedt ralathrew across tire Big Black, at the Railroad bridge, a coin am of 15,000 men, which immediately took up its lino of march on Ba: ei/a Creek, Clinton ami thence to Jackson. At the same time an other crossing wSf attempted at Messen gers Ferry, but it was greatly impeded by our cavalry—while another force was crossed over above, which being effected, our forces fell back, skirmishing all the way aud disputing every inch ot ground. I think this force was confronted by Jack* sou’s cavalry. Tire force that mossed at the railroad bridge was confronted by Wirt Adams’ cavalry. On Tfuasday morning, Gen S D Li-.e assumed coin brand. The fighting on Thursday By dui men was gal* taut and stubborn, bin overwhelming num bers compelled Lee to give ground, which he did gradually, and at Mie same time punished the enemy severely, Whi'e. these columns wore advancing towards Jackson, the guuboats ascended the Yazoo escorting a tiaiisport fleet which was moving up that river, to what particu lar point 1 ain unable to say, but presume that it was intended to operate against Grew* ada, and also menace LdtiugV flank, who was at Canton. By sunset on Thursday, Lee had been forced back well on Clinton, the enemy pressing forward his infantry m a soiid muss. Their cavalry weie whipped back every time they came in contact with ours. In the last charge on this day, toe gallant Maj. Bridges, of Texas, le!t indtiaily wound ed. He commanded under Lee. Hia loss is greatly deplored. He was regarded art one of the most efficient, dashing, daring, steel points of the army. Twelve prison ers were captured and sent in to Jackson. Early Friday morning, the roar of the guns could be distinctly : card in Jackson as coming rom the different points where ihe enemy were' known to bo advancing. There was scarcely any intermissiou in tho artillery ate throughout the day, whilo it gradually neared. By 10 o’clock the Federal* had reached CHnfon. This fact getting abroad produced a great deal ot excite ment, and took many by surprise, a it was not supposed that the enemy would W upon them so soon. Gen. ' French had arrived aud assumed command, aud military matters*proceeded with duo regularity. General JL inag was expocted down from Canton by nigh-t, ami with Ihtse two divisions it was expected that the enemy could bo kept out . f Jackson until our roihforcemonis came up, when it .was believed that we would be able to drive the enemy back. Toe prompt t*d* vance of Qen. Shermnn prevented Leung getting down in time, and ho was <sdmpeil-*d to cross Pearl river above Jackson. French did not cross over Pearl river, but remained uu this side, umt the moment that the head of Loring'a coU, umn would have re-ched tho northern limits of the oi y, French’* column wo rid have entered from the east, and thus have lorined a junction in the city and have manned the breastworks. Loring could not well leave Canton until tbe intended point Os attack by the Federal* had been first ascertained, and I think it more than probable that he was hampered iu his movements oy superior orders. Tho Federal* < nterod Jackson about sunset. Gen. Lee moved off on the Canton read, having gallantly contested every inch of ground from Big Black to Pearl rivtr. I did not learn our loss on Friday, but bciievo it to have been severe, as the lighting was des perate, quick and sharp, tlio enemy had his force* massed and forced hi* way hy brut«rforce. Ho must’have suffered terribly. About 10 o'ciooJc Fr.day, I learn that Ferguson’s brigade joined General Lee, and gallantly cob'ribut.d to the defence made against the’Federal advance. During the day large volume* o. ctnoke wore seen rising in the west on Hie lino o, tha ene my’s .advance. ft was supposed to be cotton burned by our cavalry. Homo 'supposed'that tho town of Ciinion was burned .by the Ked« erals. Os the operations of It i**, on the Y.izoo, on Friday,l learned nothing definite. It is said that he again neat hack the Federal advance, aud sunk two of their .transports. I believe the tea port to bo true. The Federal forces are commanded by Gens. Sherman, McPherson and IF r-bof l , aud num« ber, as well as I can learn, about 35,000 men— it may not be so great. 1 aui inclined to think it from 35 000 to 40,000 of ul arm l . Every;lung that could be moved having been brought to this side of ibo river, i.nd placed on the trains, our forces immediately look up the line of march for Morton, 30 mile- east us Jack son, where our army i* being maaie 1 Ju.v. be. ore leaviug, some iwu hun ired bah « «.i cotton, most all of which w-s the property of the Gov ernment, was burned, as well a* what few things they may have let remain that could not be brought away. A* the last trains were leaving the Yankees had reaeed ihe ivc-* bank of tha river and planted a bait* ry, while-their sharp shooters went actively to. work and prevented tire complete destruction ot ih« j , i. bridge oyer Pearl river. In sttmp'ing it,-, ,dev ruction we lojt one m<t•> killed ami u* wnnnded. Whatever blame or praise .*;• lie* in the affair properly less wi’h Gen- P -.- The advance of the Federal* was known, “aryl woll .known," and their programme ougb r , - have bee , known in ample time either to have prevented it, or have massed a ruffleinut force to have given battle with <•{*'. nee* of cu >cesi«.
