AN INCIDENT- A cotiespomlent of flip Lynchburg Republican I elates the following: l have heard of one or two incidents of this ex j [-edition whh h j consider worthy of notice. On i the evening of the -Hit inst. Col.’Rusk, of Arkan j s.ib, proceeded up the road to the west of Bath lo , luun the Capon Bridge, in command of a brigade con-bung ol four regiments and a battery. When near the bridge hu saw the camp fires of the ene my, and advanced to attack them, it seems that the enemy were aware of his approach, and had ttken [ osi-ion some distance in the rear, so as to j ambuscade his command. Before the Colonel was aware of the position of the enemy he was tired into. 1 Hiding himself thus i ambuscaded, Col. Rusk hallooed with all his voice j as i' to forces vet in the rear: “Bring up the li.th j and 18th Mtasip&ippi regiments, tiro f.th Texas bri- 1 gade, and hurry up that battery.’' This command to ideal forces had the proper effect, arid imme- | i diately the enemy broke and ran like sheep. Rusk, j however, from the first attack, lost four men killed and eighteen wounded. * THE DUTY OF PATRIOTS. ! W. P. Beasley, B ap, the efficient Senator from Troup county, in an article in the Lagrange Ki - j porter, addressed to his constituents, reviews the action of the Legislature at its last session, and closes with the following patriotic sentiments: “ It is a time of uncertainty and of exigencies— the future is dark—amt we should be willing as patriots to respond to the urgent demands of our country in purse, (and if necessary in person,) ami count the cost ami pay the damages afterwards, i Let us win* are at home and have sons and bro titers in the tented field, ready to fight our battles, return to first principles in retrenchment and re fonn during the existence of the war. Let us who are engaged in the great industrial pursuits of life, make our homc-s the homes of industry, economy and virtue, and we shall fie able to support our ar mies in the meantime, and when peace is restored, no shall soon pay the expenses of the war and again become prosperous and happy under the i guidance of that Providence w ho controls the des ' tiny of men and nations.” [com municatkd.] 'Messrs. Editors : —I was much pleased with your view’s in the last Messenger in reference to extend ing aid to the poar of Macon. Whilst no one, I presume, in our city is so destitute of feeling, as not to relieve, under certain circumstances, and | ; in a proper way, the most uuworthy, yet there are many reasons apparent to every thoughtful and virtuous mind, why they should not be placed upon a footing even in respect to charity, with the good | and upright. Such a policy would paralize the efforts and chill the charity of those who have ; labored, and are willing still to labor to mitigate | the sorrows and wants of the meritorious poor. A MOTHER. Macon, Jan. 18th, 1802. The Bowling Green correspondent of the Nash ville Banner says : “ It may not he amiss, in these trying times, for us to look to ourselves, and see if there be not among us native Yankees, whose tiicks in the art of money making, and whose readiness to turn every necessity to the best advantage, excel the sharpest trafficker of old Connecticut. We know men in this region, and in other places—men, too, who have been the most violent in their abuse of the North, and the most profuse in their laudations of the South—who scruple not at a clear profit of a hundred per cent, on their wares and products. This profit, too, comes indirectly from the hard earnings of the soldier, and the working men.— These extortioners will talk the loudest of our vic tories and seemingly appreciate more highly than any one else the ramparts of safety our troops have provided between their accumulating treas ures and an advancing foe, while at the same time they are availing themselves of the necessities of the times to wring from our brave defenders their last dollar.” After a pretty extensive observation and some little experience, we have long since settled down upon the opinion so elegantly expressed by the profound Mrs. Partington—that “there is a great | deal of human nnter m man” everywhere. The ITglit near Prestonburg Continued. The following confirmation of a telegraphic dis patch relative lo a brilliant victory achieved by Gen. Marshall in Kentucky over the Yankees, we copy from the Lynchburg Republican, of the 17th instant: While we are as yet without official intelligence of the vietory ot General Marshall over the enemy, near Prestonburg. and have but few additional particulars of the all'air further than we gave yes terday, the report then given is confirmed by gen tlemen who reached here yesterday on the Western train. T hey state that a cornier from Gen. Mar shall arrived at Abingdon on Wednesday evening, just before the passing of the train, with intelli gence of the battle and victory, which corresponds in every particular with the statement published yesterday. The seen# ts the fight was about eight miles west of Preaiouburg, and the attack ot the enemy was not desired by Gen. Marshall at the point it was made. His object in retreating was to entice the enemy into a pursuit as far as Prestonburg, where he had chosen a strong position, and had he succeeded in reaching it, would have annihila ted them ; but they were too quick for him. and succeeded iu overtaking his rear before the desired position had been reached, when there was no alternative left him hat to turn and light. The enemy’s cavalry commenced ihe attack, and after a very fierce hut short conflict, were re pulsed, when their infantry coming up, the fight began in earnest. It continued to rage for three hours, during w hich time several brilliant charges were made by our troops, each charge being gal lantly met by the enemy, but they were finally compelled to flv, notwithstanding their vast supe riority of numbers; throwing away, in the'.r pre cipitate flight, guns, swords, pistols, knapsacks, and everything else that impeded their flight Their exhibition ot fleetness is said to have lar outstripped the famous Bull Run stampede. - Caiucroii-s Ilesigualiou. The New York Herald says, editorially, of the resignation of Secreta v Cameron : Lie change, in a very remarkable degree, com mands the public approbation. It is a change w fitch vindicates the conservative war policy of t ie 1 resident on the slavery question, and which j Ming?, the \\ ur Office and the leading Generals of j our army into that happy accord which is abso lutely indispensable to a vigorous prosecution of the war. Home two months ago the fact began to be made manilott taut Mi.

Ac. Our national dilliculiies at one time threatened almost the complete dist uption of the Department. Many ol our brave arid gallant members enlisted in the service of their country at an early period ot the war. Others from time to time have joined the ranks. Its officers and members have served with distinction upon the battle-field, and many valuable livt-s from the Department have been of fered up upon the altar of their country. I am happy to state that numbers of our citizens have come forward and enrolled their names, and at this time we have almost the usual number of | members. | The Department is now composed of the foliow ! ing companies : j Engine Cos.

The Department has been called our, during the j year 20 times—l.l fires and five alarms. The origin of the Fires as near as could be ascertained was as follows: Fnknown, 1 Chimney, 2 Accident, 8 Incendiary, y The cause of the alarms were from j burning Chimneys, 8; Fire out of town, 1 ; Ciazy ; Woman, 1. Amount of property destroyed, about SBO,OOO Upon which was an Insurance of 24,800 Ain’t of loss, $.32,800 Our City has been free from tires for some time past, which should be a subject of congratulation ; the cause of this may be attributed to the vigil ance and watchfuluess of our cilizens generally, but particularly ot the City \ oluuteei (<uar<i. All the Cisterns are in good order, with the ex ception of two —one at the intersection of Fourth and Walnut street, and one on Poplar street, near the City Hall.
