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.

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.

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
