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.

ME WBEIISUL.'Z - REPtTBLICA IsT ; S TTJ BDAI, OCTOBER IQGQ 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. Tile Biwmy Bep. lsed Iu Carolina.

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 appi inched Coosawhatchie, 'the enemy made signals to the engineer to stop. The latter paid m> attention to the signals and determined to rmythe gauntlet.

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. G. B Lamar, 1 J. Stoddard. J- Treasurers. F. Sorrell ) 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. [Correspondence of tbe Mobile Advertiser & Register.] 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 country In Maryland and Virginia. No news here from Price, Van Dorn or Breckinridge. We hrd hoped to hear their gnus and victorious * auip south of us before now. Press. ARMY C Of the Savannah Republican. 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 never’be said that a rebel foot has pressed the sacred soil of Pennsylvania.” The Hon Mr. McClure, Republican candidate for Congress, and tbs Mayor of Chambersburg, came out to met t Gen. Stuart, who bad demanded the sur render of the town, 'i he dm and was complied with, there being no forces present to defend it, 3rd the public property delivered up. Mr. McClure was held as a prisoner for a short time, and eight or ten of hi* hors * were brought away as a punishment for his B - -k Republican sina Several other prrunm -tit Rv üb’-ibans were captu r ed end brought to this side of the river, as an efftet to the many nnarnsed citi- j zees of the Confed* • 'cy who have b .-tv forced I into orison by Fedef.il officers. The telegraphic wires and railway lines .were | cut and destroyed wherever the party passed ; j and consequently -hey had the pit-’save of an- i nonneieg their • n at rival at many of the plac salong the.* r "ire. I; seems,, however, | that the signal officer on S tg-r Loaf mountain, j some six or seven miles from White’s Ford, I discovered their advance, .4 reported it to Gen. 3tone-ansi, who was stationed near the j fc-rd with a force estimated t 8,000 men. Tiiey ! were probably re. / recruits, since our cavalry | found bnt little difficulty in cutting, their way | through their lines and crossing the river under | their very eyes. Gen. Stuart started Friday morning, marched | a distance of tw > hundred mites, destroyed a | large number of arms ar.d many valuable stores. I captured au.l b .ughi away '.’,000 valuibl, j horses and a number of pestiferous R-publi- j cans, cut te. .enemy’a c-'x imnclcatlon'-', ec'7- ; cled his entire command, forced his way • hrough ■, h's lines drawn up to dispute his la-s?", aa-i i returned to th V r . ..d i side of the river Mon- i day night, having lost, only ov.e man wounded and one borse kdiedf This was a brilliant feat, and will take rank W..! a> y i-imibr perform ance recorded in history. : 'h" party was ab sent only four days, and was iu the saddle near ly the whole time.

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.

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.

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.

They- are report ed to have formed in line of battle about six miles from Perryvilie. Capt. Watson, of Company G, 80th Indiana, wounded somewhat seriously, has arrived here. He left Perryvilie yesterday afternoon, and was overtaken by a messenger, who left Perryvilie two hours later. The messenger reports the rebeU force at about seventy-five thousand. They heard heavy and constant firing for many miles after they left. Rumors prevail that a severe engagement between the whole of each army was progress ing yesterday on the Harrodsburg road, where in Buell drove the rebels towards Camp Dick Robinson. Paroled prisoners say tho rebels are making for that camp. At Perryvilie the rebels were so crippled on Wednesday that they could not carry away seven pieces of artillery which they had cap tured, and one hundred and six thousand rounds ot their ammunition. Our forces buried their dead and cared for their wounded. In a skirmish on Thursday, near Lawrence burg, Bowen-, of tbe 19th regulars aud Ist Ohio cavalry, against Col. Scott’s rebel cavalry, Col. Scott was wounded, and is now a prisoner at Bardstown. One hundred and thirty rebel prisoners from Perryvilie, including ten lieutenants, arrived to-night. - '-■ [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 mand at Louisville and is able to bold the c.ty. Private advices from Louisville state that Bragg has been driven back to Camp Dick Rob ,nson. Kirby Smith is supposed to have join ed him. General rumor, in Louisvill'd, says that our army has been successful. 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.

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 live with such a people ?—[Char. Courier. 3
