The Bailie oi Belmont.
We have not heretofore given a full ac
count of this most glorious and hard won
fight. Considering all the circumstances, it
has hardly been surpassed by any that has
taken place during the war. The account
is condensed from the “Memphis Ava
lanche” by the “Southern Confederacy” :
This tight, which took place at Belmont,
just opposite Columbus, is one of the hard
est fought, and one of the most important
in its results, of any that has taken place
during this campaign.
On the morning of the 7th inst., four reg
iments of Geu. Pillow’s Division, with Gen.
P. himself, weie ordered by Gen. Polk to
cross over on the Missouri side.
On the morning of the 7th init., it was
ascertained that a large force of the enemy
were advancing on the small camp of Con
federates then at t hat place. Gen. Polk or
dered Gen. Pillow to cross over with four of
his regiments. As rapidly as possible they
were placed in line about TOO yards from
the river bank. The men were reduced to
less than 500 in each regiment from measles
and other diseases incident to the Mississip
pi bottom. They were formed into line of
battle with Col. Wright’s regiment on the
left of Col. Beltzoover’s battery, and with
Cols. Pickett’s, Freeman’s, Tappan’s and
Bussell's regiments (the last now under com
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Bell) on the
right of the battery—about 2,500 men.
Three companies of skirmishers, under
command of Adjutant Stith, were went for
ward to check the advanc’ng column of the
enemy, so as to give Pillow time to make
the necessary disposition of his forces for
battle. This was barely accomplished when
the skirmishers were driven back, and the
shock between the opposing forces com
menced. He had no time to make a recon
noissance, or obtain a proper knowledge of
the surrounding country, and knew not the
best way to make a disposition of his forces.
Soon after the engagement commenced,
the enemy’s cavalry were seen turning our
left flauk and closing the held nearly to the
river. We had no cavalry, and a portion of
the force in front, which was then weak,
had to be detached to hold this cavalry of
450 strong in check. Several attempts were
made by the infantry to turn both wings of
our little force, but they were checked on
our right by the firmness aud deadly fire of
Cols. Russell’s and Tappan’s regiments, and
on the left by the well-directed fire of Col.
Beltzoover’s battery and Col. Wright’s regi
ment. It was soon discovered that the ene
my’s force was large enough to surround
Pillow’s forces with triple lines. He then
advised Gen. Polk of the strength of the
enemy and asked for reinforcements and a
supply of ammunition, which the constant
and heavy firing necessary to check the ad
vancing foe was causing to come short.
The right and left wings of our army were
firm, but once or twice the centre under Cols.
Freeman and Pickett, being greatly exposed, i
gave way, but by the efforts of the officers,
promptly returned to their original position, i
At length Col. Beltzoover and Col. Bell re
ported that they were out of ammunition, j
and Col. Wright reported that one-half his
regiment were also out.
Beltzoover, under orders, removed his line
to the rear, which he did, being compelled
to leave one gun. Watson’s battery was
silenced for want of ammunition. The ene- ,
my’s forces were unchecked, and fresh arriv- ;
als were coming into the field, when Gen. j
Pillow ordered the line to use the bayonet, j
The charge was gallantly made and the
whole line of the enemy driven back into
the woods; but the enemy being supported
by a large reserve, we were forced back to
our original position, whilst the enemy ad
vanced.
The charge was repeated, the second and
third time forcing the enemy’s line heavily
against his reserve, with little results. —
Finding it impossible longer to maintain his
position without reinforcements and ammu
nition, Gen. Pillow ordered the whole line
to fall back to the river bank. In this move
ment his line was more or less broken, or
companies mingled together. When we
reached the river bank, it had the appear
ance of a mass of men, rather than organ- i
ized companies and regiment*. Tn the rear
of the mass was found Col. .T. K. Walker’s
regiment which had been sent to Pillow’s
support by Major-Gen. Polk. He was or
dered to advance his regiment as promptly
as possible, to check the advance of the ene- j
iny’s force, and hold them back so as to give i
time to revive the force up the river bank
and form the command. His regiment j
promptly advanced on the enemy’s forces
in the open field, and held them in check
until his line of fire and artillery had cut
down a portion of the regiment, when it ,
was forced back and sheltered itself under j
the bank of tbc river, from which position j
the regiment kept up a constant fire while |
it moved by the flank up the river bank.— ;
The time thus obtained was of the highest
possible importance to the operations of the ;
day. When the enemy’s force reached the
bank of the river they were met by the fire
of Oapt. Smith’s battery (of Gen. Chatham’s
division) from the opposite side of the river.
This well-directed fire, together with that of
the heavy guns from the works above Colum
bus, made the enemy recoil from the front.
In the meantime Gen. Pillow advanced
the main body of his original force, in bro
ken order, up the river to a point where they
could cross through the fallen timber, to
make the flank movement. There Gen.
Marks, of Brig. Gen. McCowin’s division,
and Col. Carroli, of Pillow’s division, were
ordered by Maj. Gen. Polk to our support.
Fresh troops were placed under the gallant
old veteran, Col. Marks, at the head the col
umn, and directed to lead the advance in
double-quick time through the woods, and
to the enemy’s rear, and to attack with vigor.
Gen. Pillow promised to support the move
ment, with all the forces formly engaged —
though from their conflict of four hours it
was scarcely to be expected that they could
act with the vigor of fresh troops. In this
movement Col. Russell, who was command
ing a brigade, and who had throughout the
day promptly executed all orders, and aided
in the disposition and movements, was or
dered by Pillow to rally and push forward
the force of his command to the support of
Marks’ attacking columns. Gallant and
brave Capt. W. H. Jackson, who reported to
General Pillow for duty on his staff, being
wholy unable to get his light battery ashore,
was directed to lead the column against the
enemy’s rear. The movement was promptly
. and gallantly made, and was a complete sue
| eeee. The finding tbewselved be.
tween two tires—that of Smith’s artillery in
front aud Marks and Russell’s columns in
rear, after a feeble resistence, broke and fled
in great disorder, and was hotly pursued by
our troops.
Gen. Cheatham had now reached that part
of the field, and by his presence added new
vigor to the pursuit. In this disorderly re
treat the enemy became panic stricken, aud
were cut to pieces by a destructive tire, until
they reached a point far in the bottom.
Gen. Cheatham then thought it prudent
to bring up his whole force, which was on
the way, and for this purpose returned to
the river bank where he met Gen. Polk
bringing with him Smith’s brigade ((’heat
ham’s division.) Gen. Polk ordered the
pursuit to be continued with the whole force,
accompanying it himself. Soon they came
to the point which the enemy had made his
surgical head-quarters and depository of arms,
ammunition and stores. Here they found
a yard full of knapsacks, arms, amunition,
blankets, overcoats, mess chests, horses,
wagons, and dead and wounded uien, with
surgeons engaged in the appropriate duty of
their profession.
The route along which the enemy had re
treated was strewed with arms and knap
sacks —with blood, wounded and killed.—
The pursuit was continued under the com
mand of Gen. Polk, lill they were in sight
of the enemy’s gunboats and transports. —
Upon reaching this new field of duty, Gen.
Pillow ordered the victorious command to
move rapidly as possible through the corn
field to the bank of the river, which they did,
lining the bank for more than a mile.
The federals were now rapidly embarking,
huddling together on the open boats; and
our troops were ordered to fire on them as
they passed up the stream. When the she
opened, it was so hot and so destructive, that
the troops on the opposite side of the boats,
and had to be forced back by the bayonet
to prevent the bouts capsizing. They did
not take the time to untie the cables, but cut
all loose, and were compelled to run through
the fire of sharpshooters for more than a
mile.
The enemy’s battery, cavalry, and 2,000
infantry, could not be taken on board the
boats, but retreated up the river. Gen Pil
low’ sent Capt. Taylor up the bank in pur
suit of them, but they were so fleet that only
a few stragglers were overtaken. Thus en
ded the day so glorious to our arms that its
refulgence will be seen by the deccndauts of
the gallant men who formed the army long
after their remains shall have mouldered iu
to dust and all else lost iu oblivion, except
the memory of their glorious deeds. That
the Spartan army which withstood the con
stant fire of three times their number for
nearly four hours, (a large portion of them
bein*’ without ammunition) did its duty gal
lantly, is manifest from the length and char
acter of the conflict, the great inequality oj
numbers, ami the result.
In the case of 001. Belthoover, whose
guns were taken possession of by the enemy,
it is proper to say that when his ammuni
tion was exhausted, he was ordered to take
his guns from the field. He brought them
all except one to the bank of the river un
der the lire of the enemy, which was easier
to face than retire from.
We captured one of the enemy’s guns;
likewise arms and ammunition, knapsacks
and ambulances, mess chests and portfolios
of General offices, surgical instruments of
Surgeons, and all the vast pareaphernalia of
an army—nearly equal to the wants ofa new
army.
Maj. Finnic, Quarter Master, and Captain
Jackson, commanding one of the field batte
ries, were dangerously wounded while execu
ting orders. Capt. Jackson’s horse received
six balls at the time he was himself wound
ed. Major Henry, Assistant Adjutant Gen
eral, had two horses killed under him.—
Capt. Bethel’s horse was wounded—Lieut.
Pillow had his horse killed —Lieut. Long,
aid-de-camp, alone escaped untouched.—
These facts prove them to have been at their
post of duty. They rendered important aid
in our responsible and position. The fact
of two of these being cut down and the oth
ers dismounted, placed us for a long portion
of the conflict in a position not a little em
barrassing for want of wtnff officers. Praise
is 4]no Major Winslow, aid-de-camp of Gen.
Polk, who volunteered his services in the
battle on Gen. Pillow’s staff.
This heroic little army withstood for four
hours a conflict with three times its own
numbers of the picked troops of the enemy.
Our loss was severe, as might be expected
from such a conflict: but the evidences are
abundant that the loss of the enemy was
more than treble that of ours, in the inci
dents of .the field, their flight, and their
helpless condition in their crowded trans
ports, under the fire of a thousands of dead
ly rifles.
Hessian Invaders.
A late uumber of the Baltimore South
contains the following statement of the man
ner in which the “Grand Army” is now be
ing filled up:
Negroes and Aliens to Carry on tiie
War of Subjugation. —Ou Sunday even
ing a regimeut of unnaturalized Germans,
many of them just from the shores of Eu
rope,passed through this city for Washington.
A friend who witnessed the passage of
this body, aud who followed them to Cam
den Station, says there were not a dozen in
the regiment who could speak or understand
the English language. A German was sent
among them while delayed at the station to
inquire where they were from, and how they
came to enlist. He was told that a large
number of them had not seen New York
a week, and having been offered good wages
and one hundred dollars at the end of the
war and a promise that all the land they
conquered iu the South should be divided
among them, they had promptly enlisted iu
the army. They neither knew nor cared
anything about the nature of the war, they
had enlisted for the pay !
We are informed that at an early hour
this morning there passed through our city
a regiment, a uumber of whom were negroes
—rough , uncouth , ignorant negroes mar
shaled iu Lincoln’s service for the subjuga
tion of the South! Do the “unconditional
Union men,” the advocates of Lincoln’s
Government, endorse this hiring of Hessians
and negroes to war upon their brethren of
the South? Will they still plead for a
Union with such masters and such materials?
If such an exhibition as this will not arouse
the slumboring patriotism and self-respect
of the people, then are they ODly fit to be
slaves of the tyrants who are forging their
[chains and associates of the negroes who
I are called upon, tq subdue them.

ITS TYRANNY AND ATROCITY MASTERLY
EXPOSED.
The writer of the following letter is a man
whose standing is a sufficient guarantee of
the truth of his statements. Occurrences,
personal to himself, will, doubtless, be heard
of hereafter in official quarters; that is, if the
British Government have not forgotten how
to protect their subject. The grinding ty
trany towards American men and women,
of which he vividly speaks, will remedy it
selt. It is manifest it cannot last long, for,
like ambition, tyianuy overleaps itself, and
soon breeds armed rebellion :
Quebec, Oct. 4. 1801.
To the Editor oj the Morning Chronicle :
Sir : —The horrors practiced by the Lin
coln Government upon the people of that
once beautiful and refined City, Baltimore,
have earned for it the name of the Warsaw
of America. At this moment the most hon
ored and talented men of Maryland are pin
ing in the fortress cells of that city : depriv
'd of the commonest requisites of the humblest
conditions oj life , made to endure nauseating
circumstances that the meanest felon is free
from : seven and eight gentlemen forced
into a cell without bedding, blankets, water
to wash, or changes of linen from week’s
end to week’s end ; and, with a refinement
of cruelty and mental torture, unknown in
any civilized country in the world, cut off
from all intercourse or knowledge of their
families or of the outer world.
Men alone are not the only victims of the
wicked and accursed tyranny, but even la
dies of rank are similarly situated, their
crimes being receiving letters from absent
husbands or fathers, or wearing red and
white ribbons or dresses, or having given
charity to the widow or orphan of someone
who died in the Southern army. Against
the men no charges are made, and the only
warrent upon which they are held is that
their names are inscribed by Mr. Lincoln or
Mr. Seward upon a list in the hands of a
convicted murderer and burglar. She ex
perience of one week in Baltimore, aud the
horrors inflicted upon the unhappy people of
that fated city would, appear to any man
ustd to the action of a regular Government
—even of the greatest European despotism
—an exaggeration, did not the papers in
the service of the tyrannous fanatics, who
despotically wield the Government of the
land, themselves foreshadow the gross iniqui
ty, and call upon the gaping and frightened
crowd to fall down and worship the bloody
idol they have set up before them.
The prime executioner and minister to
the vengeance of I-incoln and Seward is of
the most abhorrent stamps, and has inaugu
rated their reign of terror in Baltimore only
as such a wrecth could conceive it. This
man is a pardoned convict named Berrett,
who, after receiving sentence of death for
murder and burglary, and having been
known to have committed six assassinations,
was released from prison and made a gaoler,
but was dismissed lor misconduct; he was
the captain of a murderous crew called the
“Blood Tubs,” aud when all honest men
shrank from him, President Lincoln and his
minion, Seward, sought and employed him
as the minister of their vengeance. This
ruffian has daily interviews with the Presi
dent, and returns from Washington with a
fresh list of proscribed victims. Berrett has
chosen the tools and habits of his old trade
of burglar to do the work of his employers.
The universal terror and object eubservi
eney of the Northern States to the dictates
of their oppressor has been shared by Mary
land, and it has therefore been deemed more
prudent to make the domiciliary visits in
the dead of the night, Berrett takes with
him several ©ecaped thieves, his former
“pals,” and accompanied by a file of soldiers,
goes forth after midnight to do the bidding
of the “best and freest Government in the
world,” by breaking into the houses of their
victims, dragging them from their beds and
thrusting them, handcuffed, into the cells of
Fortress McHeury, Gen. Howard, an old
gentleman, the candidate for Governor, and
his son, Mr. F. Howard, were taken from
their beds and from the sides of their wives
between 1 and 2 o’clock on Thursday mor
ning by Berrett and a file of soldiers, who
wounded with their bayonets Mr. F. How
ard’s little son, six years old, and so ill treat
ed Mrs. Howard that she died on the Sun
day following. Mr. Lincoln thought “she
was served too well, and declared that the
wives and brats of traitors deserved to he
threaded upon red hot jack chaiug-” To
the suffering children and wives of his vic
tims he replies to their request to be permit
ted to see their parents with a refusal couch
ed iu obscene and brutal language, or with
some filthy jest that could not be put upon
paper.
The week before last Berret, upon Se
ward’s order, broke into the mansion ofa la
dy of rank, whose husband is in Europe,
with his file of soldiers pulled her from her
bed without permmitting her to dress, or even
putting on her shoes; the fellow forced her
to go with him from the attic to the cellar iu
her uight gown, whilst he tore up the carpet,
forced the doors, and cut to pieces the beds,
mattresses, brocaded chairs, sofis, &c., and
turuod out every trunk and drawer, leaving
the beautiful residence a total wreck. No
reasou has beeu assigned for this outrage ex
cept that his patron, the President willed it.
Ou the following night the house of a vener
able gentleman was forcibly entered, aud
every bed cut to pieces ; his three daughters
were pulled out of their beds, aud subjected
to brutal indelicacies the heart sickness at.—
The following morning the Colonel of these
honorable and gallant defenders of their
country, named Wilson, was taken into cus
tody for various roberies, the property hav
ing been found in his shop iu Brooklyn,
New York. The house of Mr. George, who
had no connection with politics, was searched
for arms; a matter of course none were
fouud, but a quantity of wine was, and the
officers in command of this respectable and
gallant army carried it off. Mr. George was
detei mined to bring the thieves to justice,
but Mr. Seward has thrown his protection
around them, and threatens the bullies the
sufferers.
Mr. Faulkner, the late ambassador from
the United States to France, has been im
prisoned in a common felon’s cell, without
even straw to lie upon, leaving his throe
motherless and unprotected daughters in a
hotel. Mr. Lincoln refused him permission
to send a message to them, and robbing him
of all the money he had with him. Lincoln

Attack on tbe Royal Yacht.
The following account of au attack on the
Confederate schooner Royal Yacht, and at
tempt to blow’ her up, is trom the Galveston
(Texas) Civilian of the 9th inst.:
Our people were startled this morning
with the rumor that the Confederate schoon
er Royal Yacht, commanded by Capt. Chubb,
had been set on fire last night by the enemy
and that all on board were captured. Be
sides tiie rumor, several parties reported
that firing bad been heard during the night.
Subsequent developments confirmed the ru
mor.
At 3:30 a. m., the sentinels ou the Rusk
saw the Royal Yacht on fire off Bolivar, in
the bay. The boats started, and at about
the same time boats from the Pelican Spit
Fort started. Both parties reached the
Yacht about the same time.
Ou boarding, the party hastened to save
the magazine, toward which the fire wai
gathering rapidly. It was within a few
inches of the magazine. The fire on deck
was also put out.
On deck every thing was charred to a con
siderable extent. Below deck a scene of
confusiou was presented.
Since writing the above, the Bayou City
has arrived with the Royal Yacht iu tow.
On examining her condition wo find the
fire not near so bad as we had anticipated,
yet it is a matter of wonder that it was ex
tinguished and the vessel saved at all. The
saiis are burnt up, the upper deck, cabin and
hatchway are much scarred. Immediately
over the magazine the deck had burnt
through, and through the top of the maga
zine, a heavy oak plank two inches thick.—
When the Rusk's party reached the maga
zine, some of the ends of the cartridges
were crisping, and the cannon cartridges
were so hot that they could scarcely be
handled.
The Royal Yacht’s cutlasses were found
below, but her small arms, with the excep
tion of two guns found on deck, were miss
ing. One of the muskets fouud on deck
went off after our friends boarded her. Her
gun, as stated before, was on deck, but
burned and blackened considerably.
The night was quite dark, and the opinion
is that the frigate’s launches got near the
Royal Yacht before they were discovered.—
A number of musket and pistol balls were
found bedded in her sides and on deck.—
The frigate’s party must have been badly
scared aud left in a hurry, as several articles
belonging to them were found on deck.
The forces attacking the yacht were projp
ably at least 100 well armed men. Though
some distance from the guns of our fort*,
yet it was daring enough to bid ue be ctu
the alert; but it does not compare with the
cool courage of our men from the steamert
Rusk and Pelican Spit, who fought down
the fiery element, with an explosion from
the magazine threatening them every mo
ment.
When it is remembered that the yacht
was fired with oakum balls saturated with
turpentine, which were scattered through
the hold, the successful result of their ef
forts seems astonishing. All the officers and
I men engaged deserve great credit.
I Ther cis no permanent damage done the
vessel, and we have no doubt she can soon
be repaired at a slight expense.
Though the crew of the yacht were over
powered by perhaps ten times their number,
we believe the enemy have had to fight for
their night’s work. They have gained fif
teen prisoners; but, fortunately, we have
several thousand on our hands, and can af
ford to be liberal in an exchange.
ratifying Intelligence from .>l l * -
soori—Formal Secession of the
State.
A bearer of dispatches from Missouri ar
rived in this city yesterday afternoon, bring
ing intelligence of the formal secession of
that State from the United States, by act of
her Legislature. This body is the regular
Legislature of the State, elected more thau
a year ago ; and is the only existing repre
sentative of her sovereignty. Application
will at once be made for the admission of
Missouri into the Confederate States.
By the same hands we learn that on Tues
day week last, when our informant left Gen.
Price’s camp, that officer, with his gallant
army, was in face of the enemy near Spring
field, expecting an early engagement. North
ern dispatches of a latter date represent that
Gen. Hunter, the successor of Fremont, ha*
retreated with his whole army eastward, and
was making his way to St. Louis. The
bearer of dispatches was five days od his way
from Memphis to this city, having been de
layed by the interruption consequent upon
the doings of the bridge-burner,— Kii hmoutf
