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. Rich. Examiner. 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.” PUBLIC MEETING. The citizens of Macon, and the adjoining counties, are respectfully requested to meet in the City Hall, on SATURDAY next, at 11 o clock, for the purposo of arranging to pro cure voluntary military organizations, to pro - tect against possible raids of the enemy into the interior of the State.

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 soldiers the*privilege of newspapers against 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 munication at all for twenty-four hours. Greeley, also, comes out fiorcely against peace movements. Almost overybody is for peace. The terms are the only question, geace. must come at last At present there appears little likelihood of peace, but it must come when one or the other finds out the was: will not pay. [Has it paid tho North yct?J - The Herald says if^YalJandigham is sen tenced, Wendell PnilHps should be also. It is H opposed, however r Hp.such arrests, and is for free speech, free prd$a, trial byljury guaranteed by the Constitution. 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. « Jackson.
