FROM THE ARMY OF GEN. BRAGG.
Shelbtville, Tens., May 16th, 1863.
Editor Columbus Enquire : Gen. Forrest
and staff arrived here yesterday evening, by
railway. He' looks prime and vigorous after
his exciting chase after the Yanks down in
Alabama and Georgia. He was serenaded last
dilght at Gen. Bragg’s headquarters by the
band of the 154th Tennessee regiment. He
had but few words to jitter, preferring to fight
ather than speak. Gen. Bragg was loudly
ailed for, and in a, short, spirited speech bid
he “ boys ” to be of good cheer, that in a
short time he would have some livoly work
for them to do, and wished it done in a lively
way.
Gen. Forrest has been ordered to take com
mand of Van Dorn’s division. He assumes
command temporarily until a permanent ap
pointment) t is made, Forrest preferring to com
mand his old brigade in person without any
restrictions thrown around him in the shape
of “ Orders.” He would be a worthy succes
sor to Van Dorn, and no one doubts that he
would, by his wonderful energy and tact, add
additional laurels to wreathe that corps.
No news from the front. Our troops are
gradually drifting towards the enemy.
EXECUTION OF JACOB ADAMS.
The execution of Private Jacob Adams, deser
ter from the Forty-sixth Georgia, took place at the
Race Course Monday. He was shot precisely at
twelve o’clock. The execution, we regret to say,
drew a very large concourse of spectators. The
military arrangements were under tho control of
’of the Provosv Marshal, Lieut. Col. Gaillard. The
garrison of Charleston were under arms,command
ed by Lieut. Col. Jeffords, with a detachment from
tho Twentieth S. C. Regiment, Major Boykin com
manding.; a detachment from the First S. C. Reg
ulars, Capt.'Htiguenin commanding; the Charles
ton Battalion, Mnj. David Ramsay commanding; a
detachment of Cavalry from Lieut. Col. Jefford's
command, and a detachment of Maj. Alston’s Ar
tillery.
The scene was very solemn and imposing. The
unfortunate man was marched into the hollow
square, the band playing the dead march. As he
entered the square the music of his escort ceased,
and the several bands of the various commands,
as the prisoner approached the sides of the square,
took up the Btrain'successfully.
Adams bore himself with great intrepidity,'and
arriving at tho fatal spdt he received the last con
solations of religion from the Rev. Father Leon
Fillion. Than left to himself he knelt upon his cof
fin, crossed his arms, and ‘suddenly looking np,
took off his hat and threw it very composedly to
the right. He refused to have his eye bandanged,
and looking at the execution party full in the iaee,
awaiting the order to fire with apparent’perfect
calmness. The order was given—there was a flash,
a report, and Adams lay piostrate upon’the ground
dead. The Surgeon examined the body and pro
nounced it lifeless.
The troops breaking by the right, filed past the
body. The various commands repaired to their
several quarters and stations, including a large
number of stragglers on whom, it is hoped, this
severe lesson will not be lost. The General Com-
manderjordered.themto be brought on the;ground
to receive the warning it gave. These men were
brought under guffrd by- the Charleston Riflemen,
Captain Blake, and it is thought will be returned
to their regiments wiser men. The execution was
an awful but necessary infliction of military law,
and we trust wo shall not be called upon to record
another.—Charleston Courier, 19th. ' . .
FROM WEST POINT.
Wo have recent Intelligence from West Point.
As we have previously stated, this place is situated
on the extremity of the tongue of land lying between
the Psmunkey and Mattaponi rivers, forty miles
from Richmond by the York River railroad, ’ of
which it is the eastern terminus. About the time of
the recent battles on the Rappahannock, the enemy
landed hero a considerable body of men, variously
estimated at from ten to fifteen thousand toon. This
was doubtless with the design of diverting any rein
forcemeats that we might be about to send to Gan.
Lee. The Yankees, however, showed no disposition
to begin offensive operations from.that quarter.—
On the contrary, they at once set to. work throwing
up defensive works. They erected a line o£ en
trenchments from the Pamunkey to the Mattaponi,
thereby rendering their position, Which cannot be
flanked, almost impregnable. ' .t
For some days it has been suspected that the
enemy has been removing his troops from this local
ity. On Sunday, Lieut. Wise, of the Gen. Wise’s
brigade, made a reconnoisaance of the position from
the New Kant side,and became convinced that they
had evacuated. On the contrary, a cavalry officer
who on the same day reoonnoitered from the east
or King k Queen side, reports that the enemy had
not evacuated, hut had posted his. forces in a douse
pine forest a mile ortwo above West Point. What
the exact number of the enemy A force he had no
means of estimating, bnt believerfwis not a third as
great as it has been represented. The best opinion
seems to be that a large force, perhaps fifteen thou-
sand men, were at first landed at that point, simply
by way of diversion, but that the greater* part of
them since have boen reshipped and sent.to Hook
er, who is known to be in sad need of men.

RECEPTION OF GEN. JACKSON’S REMAINS
AT LEXINGTON.
We learn from the Lynchburg Virginian tliat the
remains of the lamented Jackson, under eacort of
a portion of his staff, thelGovernor of the State, and
a oumraittee from Lynchburg, arrived at Lexing
ton at 3 o'clock on Thursday. They were received
at the boat landing by the corps of ivirtofs, under
General 11.F. Smith, the proti-.-orsof iuoInstitute
and a large number of citizens, and were escorted,
in solemn procession to the Institute batracks, where
they were deposited in the cld lecture room of the
illustrious deceased. The roem was just as ho had
left it two year* before—save that it was heavily
draped in mourning—not having been occupied du
ring bi9 absence. The hall, which so often echoed
the voice of the modest and unknown professor, re
ceived back the laurel-crowned hero, with the ap-
plaose oi the world snd the benedictions of a nation
resting upon him. It was a touching scene, and
brougiit tears to manv eyes, when the body was de
posited just In front of the favorite chair from which
hia lectures were delivered. Professors, students,
visitors, all were deeply moved by the sad and sol
emn occasion, and gazed in mute sorrow on the af
fecting spectacle of the dead hero lying in his fa
miliar lecture room. Guns were fired everyhalf
hour during the day in honor of the departed chief
tain, and an air of gloom was visible on every face.
Tne funeral waa to take place Friday, at 11
o’clock, at the Presbyterian churoh, ol which the
deceased was a member; Dr. White, the able pastor,
to officiate.
Arrangements were being made for a large pro
cession, civil and military, and for a great (uneral
display.
The remains were then to be deposited in the
cemetery connected with the same church, where
the first wile and a child of the doceased are buried.
There, near by the noble institution he loved so
loudly, he will rest well, while fresh and fragrant in
the hearts of his dountrymen, his memory will re
pose to the latest posterity.—Richmond Enquirer.
—rffhe correspondent If the New York Times
writes, that the news ol Hooker’s retrograde
‘‘made men silent and thoughtful beyond any
thing I have ever seen in Washington.”

Bulks in Regard to Letters by Flag of
Truce.—We havo been furnished, for publica
tion, by Gen. Winder, with tho following rules
adopted by the United States Commandant,
General Dix, at Fortress Monroe, ■ nnd which
will bo enforced in regarffto all letters forward
ed from the NdVth to Fortress Monroe, to go
by Sag of truce to Richmond:
“In order to secure tho transmission of let
ters across the lines, tho following rules must
be complied with:
“1. No letter must exceed one page of a let
ter sheet, or rolate to any other than purely
domestic matter. " ■ »-
Every letter must ba signed with the
writer’s name in full,
“3. All letters must be sent with five cents
postage enclosed, if to go Ur Richmond, and ten
cents if beyond. * • g
“4. All letter? must, be'enclosed to the Com
manding General, of the Department of Vir
ginia, at Fortress ModPe. No letter sent to
any other address will be forwarded. • ‘
“All letters sent to Fortress Monroe without
a strict compliance with these rules, except for
prisoners of war, will be transmitted to tho
dead letter office.” .
The same identical rules will be applied by
General Winder to all letters sent from tho
South to-Fortress Monroe, for parties in tho
United States. - Parties addicted to correspon
dence should cut out and preserve this notice,
as a failure to comply with it in one single par
ticular, will consign their correspondence to
oblivion.
NORTHERN NEWS.
The Herald says editorially,' “ The exclu
sion of tho New York newspapers' from the
army of the Potomac is one of the mo3t trans
parent of all the blunders of our military au-
thoritiwMtfMb&t quarter,” and hopes “ the
Presiden^pb by special order securo to the

silly caprices of blundering Generals.”
The Herald says the Tribune, of the 14th,
throwB Hooker overboard as a failure; says he
has not advanced since he retreated with a
larger army than the enemy after losing 17,-
000 men. It is equally, severe upon Stono-
man ; contends that he accomplished little or
nothing, r.ot interrupting Lee’s lino ol com

Yankee Treatment of a NkchkL—4 prisoner
of war captured at Suffolk and just returned from
tbe Federal lines, reports as follows to the Colum
bus Enquirer:
‘ At Suffolk, Norfolk and Fortress Monroe, I saw
ally number of contrabands. They were huddled
together in largo gangs and guarded. They were
employed in throwing up earth works, unloading
cars, steamboats, and other work, and were the
most miserable looking set I ever saw, The Yan
kee soldiers are exceedingly cruel to them, and for
the least pretext, will treat them. shamefully.—
While at Fort (Norfolk, a negro L brick mason was
employed to do some work about the place, and
the Yankee prisoners confined there caught him,
carried him into a large magazine where his cries
could not be heard,whipped him,and after flogging
him severely, white-washed him, and tied a rope
to his iegs and dragged him over the yard in a
state of nudity. There are many other similar cases
that might be mentioned, butl am already making
this too long. «
