Sereiiads 1m honor of Gen, Boam rgard
Without previous notice the gallant Fourth
Louisiana Battulion and Forty-Seventh Georgia
Regiment, which fought t* getber on James’
Island, entered the city 11 o’clock Tuesday
night in torch light procession, with banners
flying and a fine band of music in the lead. They
proceeded through the city to the Pulaski
House, and soon it became evident that their
intention was to pay a deserved honor to the
fcailaut chief now in command of the troops at
I Chari* ston and Savannah—General Beauregard.
S'on an immirs ■ crowd of citizens was col
hcted in the viciuiiy, and the troops drawn up
in front of the hotel, with their torches in Tull
flame, presented a grand appearance. Several
popular airs having been discoursed from the
band, three cheers were given lor Gen. 8.-.in
reguid, in response to which Ihe hero of Ma
nassas and Corinth appeared on the balcony ar.d
was greeted with immense che -rirg from the
multitude below. Order being restored, ti
de nera! addressed the company substantially
as ! o’'oir:
My Friends: I thank you for this very high
comp . i. , ..iiichi fgardas paid not tom.
personally, but to the glorious cause which I
have attempted o uphold on several imp ir
taut fields since the "commeneeni rt c-f lid
revolution. I am proud now to be placed
here to aid in tit defence of Charleston and
Savannah—the m- t-r spirited and enterprising
oiiles of the So vg for they have done a
larger business in direct import •ti-.m during
the blockade than they ever did before it
(langcter). Should the Yankees make a visit
' to those cities, I h- pe we will give them so
warm a receptibn that but fe w of them will
ever return (cheers) The reception that I
would give them would be ‘ with bloody hands
to hospitable graves” (cheers).
But, ray frltnds, I do. not appev.r before you
to-night to make a speech, and for several
reasons: First, it is a tin. tor actio. , net
speaking, and secondly, my throat has been
left in such a condition by recent illness, that
the only way io which I can speak now is
through the mouths of my cannon.
Again thanking you for this cordial manifes
tation of your regaid, I bid yon, friends, good
night.
T e epoch over, three rousing cheers and a
tiger were given for Beauregard, and the bald
played ‘"Hail to the Chief,” during which the
General remained on t: balcony. The mu ■
having stopped, he ret ,1, and the commis
sioned officers of the two corps entered the
hole! and ; aid tb< ir respects to th-.-ir f- l -v-ri
Conuuander-in-Chii-t. These c -mtesioa ovt.r,
the band gave a parting tur.e, and the column
mov and back to their camps.

The Lauding in Carolina.
Early Wednesday morning despatches were re
ceived here staling that the enemy, in force, was
landing at two points on the Carolina coast, viz:
Mackay’s Point, below Poeotaligo, and Sea
brook’s Island. Mitchel is evidently resolved
to make a'demonstration somewhere, probably
against the'Charleston & Savannah Railroad,
preparatory to an attack on the former city.
There were thii teen vessels below Poeotaligo,
from which ihe itccps had debarked.
We have heard no further particulars up to
the hour of and can only add for the
present that the Yankees will meet with a warm
reception whenever they may attempt to ad
vance into the country.
We are also inhumed that appearances in the
Great Ogeecbee would cm to indicate early
operation*; in that quarter. A mysterious look
irg cralt, without masts or smoke-stacks, en
tered Ossabaw S.iund Tuesday last and joined
the blockading fleet-. It is probably a steel
ciacl vessel of some sort, and designed, when
all things shall be ready, to ruu the gauntlet of
our batteries on the river. We shall probably
hear something of her movements in the course
of a few days.
LATER —THE ENEMY IN POSSESSION OF THE
ROID.
Late iu the afternoon there was quite an ex
citement in oar streets over the report that
despatches of an important, character had been
received r.t hcac.quaricrs Upon enquiry we
find ther purport to be as follows: The ene
my, after landing at Mackay’s Point, marched
across the country some fourteen miles to
Coosawhatchie, a small village on the Charles
ton 3nd Savannah Railroad, some forty miles
distant from Savannah and a little over sixly
from Charleston* Col. Walker, who had p s.
session of tbe place with a small force, disputed
the'r entrance fork short time, but being over
pow -it'd retired to Salkahatchie bridge, with a
loss of afe w tncD killed and wounded. Here
the Yankees to* k possession of the road and
the bridge; they have probably burned the lat
ter. Asa eons* quence, no train arrived from
Charleston lost evening. The telegraphic com
munication between here ltd there is also in
■Thrrupted—probably the wiyes cut by the ene
my.
We are inclined to think tire enemy, by this
movement, will get far more than he bargained
for.
Latest from Carolina. —Official despatches,
received late Wednesday state that-the enemy,
after landing at Mackay’s Point, advanced in
two columns in the direction of the railroad,
one towards Poeotaligo and the other towards
Coosawhatchie. The troops sent over reached
there in safety, except the killing of one men
on the first train as it passed Coosawhatchie.
The latest despatch from Col. Walker, who is
in command, states that the enemy were at
tacked and driven off from both Coosawhatchie
and Poeotaligo. They returned to their gun
boats, though there were indications that the
attack would be renewed last night or this
morn g No i; -i mu;ion lias been received of
the d-slru*" on r.t the bridge at Coosawhatchie,
and the presumption is that it is still safe. We
have, no inform ,i ■ m of the casualties.
We omitted to slat*; iu our flr.st edition, that
very heavy firing was heard hers in that direc
tion for several b urs yesterday afternoon. The
enemy were probably shelling the woods from
their gunboat* sm they retired.
It is presumed that the forces of the enemy
number about three thousand.

LATER.
A despatch from Charleston, received yester
day afternoon, rays “the enemy has been driven
to his boats.” #
This is very good news aud highly creditable
to the brave troops who accomplished the feat
of driving back the invaders more than double
their number. Would it not, though, have
be..u stiff better had the commanding officer
tiff own his main body between the invaders and
Aqir boats and thus increased the chances of
tbeirVipture? We know little of tho nature
of the country, but such was the real points iu
the game, provided circumstances did not ren
der it impossible
The train came through from Charleston last
evening. Wt) team from a passenger that
twenty-one bodies of dead Yankees were
brought in and were lying at one of the depots
on the road, awaiting interment. We could
hear nothing reliable of the loss on our side.
We clip the following editorial Information
fr, in the Charleston Courier of yesterday :
A-t the train from Savannah to Poeotaligo

a cheering spectacle for the coming generation
Last week we saw in this city two negroes
who were brought by Federal authority irom
Kentucky to Columbus, Ohio, wbere they were
set free. The couuty is cursed with the emi
gration every w<*k, as is all southern Ohio.
Are the people willing that this lary scum of
creation shall constitute one-sixth ol the popu
tatjen of the Stale. Thi? is the great political
State question of the day. Shall while labor
bed- graded, wages reduced, and society broken
up by the thieving, indolent race, or will our
tartners take the matter in hand, and detend
themselves tfOm degradation, and the country
from anarchy and ruin ?
Alrt-tulv this increase of negro population Is
felt Ml over the Stale. .The country is Ailing
up v. u it, and the cities are already tilled to
ore l ll fwiug. Will the people not do some
thing to i 'ftDge this dangerous tide that so
surely threatens the moral;- of all good society
and the i .ce of every neighborhood? Can
the people not forget the prejudice against the
Dc-rn cracy created by reading the malignant
falsehoods of its enemies, and join together in

Tub Battle of Cekkyvillb, ky.— The N w

long letter from Perryville, K.y,, giviDg a de
scription of the battle of that place. He closes
his letter as follows :
Now, you ask was the battle of the Sth
a victory * We answer, that we do not re
gard U so. Oar learlfcl loss ol life, the loss
of a battery, and the lives of so many val
uable officers, is hardly remunerated by the
rapture of a barren hill, the killing of five
or six hundred wretch-d rebels, and the
taking of a lot of guns and prisoners. Had
our attack been in concert and simultaneously
a victory iu ail its completeness would been
ours Y e wen* certainly uol defeated ; the

By balance brought down $20,860 43
and held subject to the order of iiis Excellency
the Governor ot the State.
The Treasurers, iu submitting the above ac
count. of moneys received and expended in the
, re c ion of the “Georgia Ladies’ Floating Bat
tery,” desire to add a few w -rds bearing on the
subject.
They were appointed to receive all donations
that should be made from all quarters o f the
State, -towards the erection cl a Gunboat or
Floating Battery for the def use of the city of
Savannah, and to expend the same in the con
struction of such a boat. Their powers and
authorities did not extend furth-r.
After Major General Jacks*)! retired from the
State service, the Iron Battery, already begun
by him, fell into their har d-, and they took it
as it was, witheut any model or plan.
All contributions and donations received
have been only acknowledged in the public ga
z.-ttes of the city, and soineitines by letters to
He sub-committees iu ts- interior of the
Si .-te. The bills for work done and materials
furnished were paid after due examination of
their correctness.
The Treasurers invite a rigid scrutiny in the
management of the funds which have passed
through their hands. G. B. Lamar will open
the book of accounts, with alt the vouchers, to
the inspection of any one who may be disposed
to make the investigation. In regard to the
unexpended balance held subject to the order
of the Governor, it is pfoper to state that there
is an unsettled bill for railroad iron used upon
-the boat, to a la.ger amount than the balance,
■j.hich the individual claiming ownership ol the
same has refused to settle with the Treasurer ,
and Intends to look to the State for payment.
The Treasurers cannot close th- ir official con
nection with the erection of the Ladies’ Float
ing Battery, without the expression of the deep
gratitude cherished by the people of Savannah
for the generosity and liberality of their breth
ren auri dlsters- of the whole State. Their do
nations have indeed been very munificent to
wards the object iu view.

Profoitfole Capture ol Galveston.
Thu following is from the G.uveston News:
After being informed that the demand for
surrender could not be complied with, (eon o
say before) tho gunboat opened a fire upon the
fort, which was returned by the only gun that
was in the fort, —for the fev. defenses of the ciiy
had long since been nearly dismantled.
After.the second or third broadside from the
bqat, tnat only gun in jbe fort became dis
mounted, when no further attempt could be
made to maintain the unequal contest, and tbe
gun was spiked and the t .rt set lire to and
abandoned. This it appears, was about one
p. m.
Meantime, as wo understand the account-?,
the three other gunboats outside also came in
over the bar, ail carrying white flags. It seems
somewhat doubtful whether these came up so
as to participate in the fire upon ibe fort.
We learn that three distinct interviews were
had with the enemy.
As well as we can learn, the result of the last
interview with the enemy was, that four days
from Saturday night should be allowed for the
removal of the women and childreu, and ail who
desired to leave; but whether the terms em
braced a surrender of the city at the end of th
tour days, we cannot learn. I f is said that dur
ing this time the enemy agreed not to bring
their gunboats nearer the city
Their present position is saul to be about
half way between Pelican Spit and Fori Poim,
or about three miles from the cemre of the city.
During the same time wc are to erect no bat.
teries or fortifications.
Siuee this suspension of hostilities the inhab
itants of the city have been rem ving as fast as
practicable, and the tars and one steamer arc
now constantly engaged day aud my hi in re
moving the people wi'h their rlf ets.
Many of our readers in the interior will doubt
less be” surprised and much' mortified to find
that alter so much has been don* -*nd said abon
putting Galveston in a condition to be defended,
the city has, at la3t, been left in to defensele-s
a condition.
On this subject tbe papers have not been per
milted to speak. Whether any further attcrap
will be made to defend the city, or whether i:
will be given up to the enemy, we cannot say.
We have no heart to speak upon this subject,
and even what we have now said may be con
sidered objectionable.
From tho best information we c m get we b
Have the enemy have made their arrangements
to get possession of all th- important points
aloug the coast of T* xas, and wo hope our pe
pie will prepare for it without delay.

Letter from Kentucky.
Harrodsjiuko, Ivy., Ost. 7,15C2.
. Gen. Bragg’s headquarters, and the var! >u
armies uuder his command, are now jn-t con
centrated in this vicinity. On the match from
Bardstown the enemy pressed pretty closely
on our rear, and several sharp skirmishes have
resulted.
At Bardstown, Col. Wharton, with a force o'
Texas Rangers, finding himself cut off by fou:
Federals regiments, rode at half speed for four
miles, and found his toe drawn up to rcceiv
him.
With barely a moment to blow bis horses, he
gave the order to charge. The result was one
of the most brilliant dashes of ths war, aud
was complimented as such in orders. He rout
ed the V ankees, pursued them a mile, killed 50
and took 43 prisoners.
At Springfield, eighteen miles this side, the
enemy was again severely punished. Oar
cavalry were drawn up in aline as for asth.-irir;
upou a mass of Federals. with a couple of field
pieces masked behind them. Our horses brok
to the right and left, and the two pieces opened
with terrible efl-ct oa the enemy ar.d put them
to flight.
These are tho precursors to a great battle,
which every one feels to be imminent. The ene
my is advancing in force from the direction f
Frankfort and Bardstown. It is to be presumed
that he comes prepared to fight auu drive u
out ot Kentucky. It so, he will be given ball it
as soon as he is ready for it, if not before. W
are in a position where we must fight either u
advance or retrograde. No o"e dreams of re
turning, and yet ail feel as if our ships were
burned behind us, and we have no rear. Tub
whole movement was a bod, if not a desperat t
one ; yet it is out of such t- trpn-es that gre ..
result's often spring. The offle rs have unbound
ed confidence la the fight; g qu- li;ies ofth:s
army. I believe wo shall beat Butli in whatever
lore j he may come.
Kentucky has aot yet risen. A few thousandj
have taken up arms. More are enlisting and
talking about it. A successful battle might
make a difference. I tans; confess I Save no
cinch faith. The men, with noble exception-.
look indifferent or cowed. Tr.ere is large room ,
for spvecuiation on ths causes that have pro
duced this state of things. But the only e-v
elusion to be reached is damaging to the spiro
ol a people once renpwucH for c-ourage and
independence. It may be doubted whether, in
their darkest hours of oppression, Hungary or
Poland would have failed to rush to arms uuder
the encouragement and cover of such an army
as Gen. Bragg has brought to offer freedom to
this people.
Before this reaches you, perhaps through
Federal sources you w>il have heard of Gen
Bragg’s first battle iu Kentucky. The army is
amply provided with commisea-y stores, and
is superabundant. The last has
been greatly augmented since the army came
t. ere, at Federal tipense.
We have no news from home. We knf*w not
who of our brothers and sons have fallen for our

here from Price, Van Dorn or Breckinridge. We

Winchester, Va,, Oct. 14,1802.
Gen. Stuart’s iate expedition into Pennsyl
vania and Maryland, a brief statement of which
I sent you by telegraph this morning, is a more
brilliant feat even than that in Virginia Ist
June. lie started out on Friday morning, the
10 h inSt., with four pieces of light artillery of
great, range, and a cavalry force of shout 3,000
pick' din n. H- erm -d the Potomac above
Williamsport, da hi and?• Pennsylvania, passed
through Mercerrburg, 01 i bersburg, Emmets
burg, Liberty, Newmarket, Ilyat-tstown and
Bartlesville, and recrosscd the river at White’s
Ford opposes Leesburg, making the entire cir
cuit of the Federal army. At Chambersliurg,
Pa , they mi nv and between five and ix thou
sand stand of small arm?, and a large amount
of ordance and quartermaster’s stores, and
brought away a eettm'ejable quantity of cloth
ing shoes, &•. Th*-y also captured some 3,C00
horses in Pennsylvania, which are in fine con
dition and of immense size, and admirably
suited for purposes of draught. Gen. Smart
was earc'ul cot. to take any horses or to touch
private property of any kind in Maryland.
The expedition, as you may readily believe,
produced great consternation in Pennsylvania.
Gov. Curtin issued orders for the militia to turn
out as be did when we marched into Hagers
town, but he can no longer exclaim: ‘Let it

the wounded Confederates a 1 Frederick, during
his late visit to the -. r iny He and by? comman
der ahpok hands with them, spoke kiadly t
them, and affected great sympathy for their
condition. Of course such t rr>;."parent bypoc
ricy can deceive nobody. Tyrants who are try
ing to fom nt a servile insurrection, as Mr.
Lincoln and his Cabinet are doing, can cherish
naught, bu: malice iu their hearts for every true
Confederate soldier That many of the Federal
troops and id army officers feel kindly enough
disposed towards u- there ue' and be no doubt;
but it is far different with the ferocious yrants
and fanatical politic; aas who are responsible
for the war.

COKRESPONDE IsO Hi
Of the Savannah Ecpublican.
Camp neir Winchester, Va., )
October 15th, 1862. f
Mr. Editor : I have obtained some facts rela,
tive tc the pert taken in the recent battle on the
“Antietam” bv Col. J. B. Cumming’s regi
menf, w) ielt wilTbe interest irg to your readers.
It is conceded t\v ail that the fight at Sharps
burg was the most, bloody of the war, and that
part of tbe field commanded by Cos! Banning’s
command, (the Twentieth arid Seca nd— the
Fifteenth and Sev teeotb not having yet reach
ed the fit-id) ir th*; is: >rning, was not; lee?
bloody.
Tbe defer.-** of ihe bridge, east of the town,
was assigned < <■> o>!?. Cummings and Holmes,
under Cos! B'.n-i' ; ng. Cmnmlng’s left rested at;
the bridge, and the S?cond, Col. Holmes, was
on his right, the former numbering two hun
dred and fifty men, and the latter about ninety.
This small force successfully held at bay from
daylight until 1 o’clock P. M., three brigades
of the enemy, and only retired when their am
munition was all expended.
Allowing four regiments to the brigade, and
eight hundred men to the regiment, (for they
were all large regiments,) we have nine thou
sand six hundred well disciplined troops, in
eluding Hooker’s famous United States Regu
lar, (according to the statement of Yankee
prisoners) opposing for five or six mortal hours
a band of resolute Southrons, nunv ering only
three hundred and forty /—or more than twenty
eight Federals to one Confederate!
I modern history furnishes a parallel io this,
I have failed to lead it. Of course the entire
fore of the enemy was cot engaged at any one
time, but as each successive regiment was bro
ken r decimated by the unerring rifles of those
brave Ge orgians, another came to its relief, un
til tii- entire force was engaged in the fruitless
( flfsr! to cross the bridge.
TANARUS: :■ enemy lay in heaps upon the bridge and
fc i-veral yards beyond it. They marched in
solid trout and with steady tread upon the
bridge a number of times, but were as often
mown down and fled in terror ar.d contusion.
Cols. Gumming afid Holmes reported their
ammunition exhausted, and declared their
ability, if supplied, to hold the bridge against
afl od ! s. Ammunition was sect for, but came
too late. The enemy were again advancing in
greater numbers over the red, gory -field of
their it,numerable slain, and bur.numbers were
too small to meet him successfully in a bayo
net fieht. They would ail be captured ort-lain.
At this j *mcturc, 01. Betmingcame forward
and ordered the Second to retreat, telling those
on the left to pass the order on down the line
to C 'l. Gumming, which they filled to do.
Hence, the Second had retired some minutes
And the enemy bad crossed the creek and com
pletely “ flanked ” Colonel Cummins before he
knew it
T retire aero a the corn Held in his rear was
:u expose his men to a destructive fire of arlil
1* ry • 1 tun-kmry ; and be accordingly retired
by lb*- Harper’s Ferry road leading up ibe creek
S"Ri;- distance, th*-? ee into the town, which he ‘
reach*. with a total loss o' OS, including 0 I
killed and about thirty prisoners. Tbe Second j
lend in ail 45, including two officers killed ar.
fiAir wounded. This was, considering t;
k-BiiUi and ch*racier of the tight, a modera
loss, which v;:*- owing, partly, to the position
they occupied, teirg behind fences, bank*'-,
&c.; but miinly to the protecting shield
of tho God of bat; Ls. 1 can believe in no other (
power to protect; for in tho evening wo er.
gaged ten to our one in tho op -u deli!, wit-ho;
a fatal casualty it* t*><>B •vnuumuib, a >d very fee
iu the other regiments engaged.
After the morning tight, the Second, which
lost its gallant Colonel, retired for the day.
Col Camming, after he reached the town, sup
piled b;s remaining men, about sixty in nutn
her, with cartridges and marched across the old
fields with a view of rejoining the brigade,
when he met the Seventeenth, Fifteenth, five
com; antes of the Eleventh, under Mejar Little,
(which belongs to Col. Anderson’s brigade! and
sixty men of the Fiftieth under Lieut. C l
Kearst . He filed in on the right, and when the
enemy ‘‘retired,” he was the first to march
over the hill and take position behind the stone
f-jru ■ f ora which we dtalt such destruction to
our v - '.dai foes.
Tv c u our battery first took position on the
hill (if commenced shelling the enemy, who
was ; v two or three hundred yards fr* m onr
front; evo a! shells burs ted over our heads,
me In the ranks ol the Twentieth, b
fortunately did but little damage. Col. Cum
mi eg placed a Sergeant of the Fiftieth upou a
cauln. and Yankee horse and dispatched him with
a tncasag" to the battery to quit firing or ele
vate their pieces. The artillerymen had mis
tk- a our lines for those of the enemy
How Col. Camming captured the horse will in
terest * our readers, and iherefore,l will relate as
nearly as I can, the particulars of the capture
The borse was seen standing to the left of the
enetr.vU line, bis rider having been killed. Coi
Cum;.-nig announced his 1 intention to secure
him, ana ordered his regiment to hold their fire
for n f.-.w moments, requesting Goi. Militcan on
his l. o, and a Tennessee regiment on his rigb .
to h..’.l their fire also. One of his men, James
We. , teppedupand said: “Colonel, hff. m
go and get the horse, I had rather be killed
t'hau see you run such a risk,” and bounded
forward, seiz. and the b idle reins, and led tim
bor .* t-> tbe rear, where the horse stood calmly
wa’cuing the raging contest, without showing
the k st sign of fright, and under a heavy-fire.
He ia a tine grey, of symetrical form ar and noble
mein He is the Colonel’s favorite saddle horse.
The saddle and curry cutnb bear the name of
Lieut J. B. Bottsferd, but prisoner# state that
the hi. rs a belongs to Col. Kimbrough, of New
York
When West reached the horse, ho was stand
ing by the breathless corpse of hi3 master, un
moved by the terrible storm of bullets, grape
and shell, which reigned around him.
I have been told that the Augusta Constitu
tionalist, in copyintr the letter of “Persoono”
to the Charleston Courier, giving a description
of this fight, pir; .ted 10. h instead, of 20 h Geor
gia r violent, thereby giving the credit of that
brilliant nff.ir to Col. Alfred Cumming qf
Augusta when it rightfully belonged to Col
J. B. Gumming of Viacom The 10. h Georgia
is in fl u. Bctuau s’s Brigade, and was engaged
on lb-* left of the line. I have no fven “Por

F, P. Holcombe, E.-q.—We are pained to
.earn tr.at Mr. Holcombe committed suicide at
his piaistation, in Macon county, last Sunday,
bv blowing out his brains. We learn that ai
noon last Sunday-Mr. Holcombe called from
the door ot h's ’house upon a servant, and
while the latter and Mr. Holcombe’s overseer
were approaching the house in answer to tee
summons, they heard Luc report of a pistol,
and upon entering the house found Mr. H. in
the agonies of death. Mr. Holcombe was
widely known in Georgia, principally as an
eminent civil engineer, in which capacity he
projected the Southwestern Railroad, and at
the lima of his death was engaged on the Ba
var.nah and Gulf Road. He was a native of
i)elnw .re, a man of energy and business talents
—highly esteemed by all who knew him and
had accumulated a large fortune In a compaca
itvely short space of time. He was a widower
and ">■ About children. Various conjectures
have beea made as to the cause of the act
whicu tenaiaatei his life, out from some oc
currences ot a recent dale, which have come to
our knowledge, we have not the shade?/ of a
doubt that he was insane.

The Stexm Ship Minho.—The report of
heavy cannon was heard in the city about three
o’clock Tuesday morning, which, about day
light. was discovered to have proceeded from
the Yankee blockaders, who, observing that a
sLamer had passed by theca and was coming
into port, opened fire, but did not do her any
damage This steamer was the M.nho, with'a
valuable carge from Bermuda, which, after es
caping the blockad. rs, bad tbe misfortune to
get a-hore on the stone bleak water at Bulli van’s
Island, and has had several holes punched in
her bottom by the rocks, which let a large
quantity ot water into the ship, and which has
perhaps damaged a portion ot her cargo. At
low water yesterday the leaks were stopped in a
measure, aud as the tide rose in the afternoon
several steamers worked at her, trying to tow
her < ff but had not succeeded up to a late hour.
As the ship is divided into several water-tight
compartments, it is hoped that the vessel and
cargo may be saved. A sloop with a part of
tbe cargo came up to the city yesterday after
noon.- [Char. Courier, yesterday

[Special to tho Cincinnati Commercial.]
Indianapolis, Oct. 12.—1 tis stated that
Bragg and Kirby Smith’s armies have been
driven between our army and the Ohio river.
An engagement is imminent, and our forces
will without doubt be victorious. They cannot
possibly escape. Brig. Gen. Boyle is in com

Private advices from Louisville state that
Bragg has been driven back to Camp Dick Rob
,nson. Kirby Smith is supposed to have join

Brago’s Retreat. —The Knoxvilie Resister
of Sunday, in reference to Bragg’s retreat be
fore Buell, says that Buell would not attempt
to follow Bragg through East Tennessee, but
will take a nearer and better route to the heart
of.the South. Bragg pursued him to Louisville;
now it seems the race begins for Marietta and
Atlanta. Buell slipped easily through Bragg’s
clutches when he might readily have been over
whelmed, and now we shall have another ex
hibition of the comparative excellence of the
two chieftains—Bioll whipped in every fight is
still the victor by the force of geniu3, and Bragg
beaten, shall we say it!—for the want of gen
eralship.
We find also the following items in the Reg
ister:
The retrograde movement of Gon. Bregg is con

nation of friends to two specimens of Yankee
notions which can be seen this day in the Cour

One is a steel pointed conical ball of one
pound weight, made for the battery of breech
loading rifled cannon, presented to J. Charles,
Fremont, by the females, (we cannot call them,
ladies or women,) of Wheeling, Va., and.cap
tured by our brave boys at Harper’s Ferry.
The other is a poisoned and charged rifle
ball, a specimen ota kind and style of which
many were fired against us at Sharp, burg.
Does any sane man talk about goitg back to
