Results in the West.— The Mfssissippian
hag seen a private letter to Major T. H. Price,
from a gentleman who arrived at Tibbee sta
tion. from the Mississippi, on the 6th instant,
which fully confirms the news from the Trans-
Mississippi Department, published in our tel
egraphic column on Friday morning last, arid
gives us other cheering intelligeruge from that
department. The writer left the rivar on the
Ist inst. At Catfish poiptrhe had met Major
Sneed and from Gen. Price’s
army. From them he learned that Gen. Mar
maduke was tit Gaines’ Landing, fighting
Yankee gunbonts. one of which had already
been sunk and two others crippled. Seven
transports, loaded with troops, passed up the
iver while he was there.
In Arkansas, Gen. Price had captured 776
wagons, and between 5,00 and 6,00 mules.—
Gen. Price has killed, wounded and captured
between 5,000 and 6,000 of Steele's men.—
Gen. Price’s loss was 1,500, including all the
fights up to the 15th May.
General Taylor's entire loss in killed, woun
ded and captured, did not exceed 4,000.
Shelby was north of the Arkansas river,
was doing good work. He won quite a victo
ry over the enemy at Dardaaello.
The capture es gunboats and artillery ni
Louisiana and Arkansas, reported a short
time since, is confirmed.
Captured Orders.— The Richmond Sentinel is
publishing gratuitously some oiders captured from
the enemy. Their dates run from May 12th up
wards, and they generally indicate a state of morale
in the Yankee army, in which severe rebuke and
threatening are thought necessary. Brig. General
Mott is “paintd to see that the 4th division, 2d corps
is sacrificing the reputation of Hooker’s old division’'
and says ‘There is no excuse for such conduct.”—
Maj. Gen. Birncy complains of the great numbers
of stragglers and deserters, and orders that “Brig
ade commandors will take instant measures to bring
these stragglers back by searching trains, hospitals
and adjacent woods.” Four days after, (22d May)
Birney again issues a circular calling attention to
the “swains es stragglers” in the rear—directing
roll-calls to be held every hour, and the Provost
Marshal to be wide awake. 25th, Birney directs
small trusty parols to be sent out to arrest strag
glers. 28ih he gets nsad and directs that the “crack
of the rifle” be substituted for the roll of the drum,
and these stragglers he made soldiers at any cost.—
It won’t do, Gen. Birney. That is a slow way of
enthusing and army to deeds of noble daring.
Johnston’s Army.—A private note to the Caro
linian, from a division commander in Johnston’s
army says: “Sherman is at last at the end of his
rope. His losses in killed, wounded, stragglers and
sick, owing to the masterly manoeuvres of Johnston
have been not less than 40,000 men;'and as the
two armies now stand, we can whip him any day
in a fair general engagement. “Sherman can come
no further.”
„ The .Richmond Sentinel says Gen. Grant has a
useful friend in Meade. Grant pitches in for a
round with Lee, and gets terribly mauled; where
upon Meade gathers him up, takes him on his knee,
sponges him, and prepares him for another round.
With all his attentions, however, Grant has
come up to time on several occasions, and is running
around the ring now.
An Important Suggestion. —A correspon
dent of the Savannah News, writing from
Charleston S. C., suggests that subalterns car
ry muskets or rifles instead of swords. He
thinks that it would increase the effective
force of our infantry full 5,000 men, and save
the lives of many gallant fellows who
are fit for major-generals. He is of the opin
ion that either Count Hamilton or Louis XIV,
i was regarded as the benefactor of France for
suggesting that sergeants and corporals should
! carry firelocks or muskets instead of spears
or pontoons. The suggestion was- adopted,
i and 16,000 more fighting men added to the
i French army.
Affect;vh Dispensation of Divinf. Prov
idence. —In domestic lie, says the Richmond ,
Enquirer, of Saturday, hardly an occurrence
has lately impressed on us more forcibly that
we know not what a. day may bring forth, than
the sadden death of Mrs James M. Wood, the
estimable wife of our friend. Major Win. S. .
Wood, who died suddenly yesterday. In her,
Death claimed a victim that he might well
have spared. Scarce three days a bride, the
dread summon? that called her hence, must
fall with stunning force on him who so lately
swore to lore, protect and cherish her.

Ankcdotk of Gks. Sherman.— The St, Louis
Republican of the 31st uit.. relates the follow
ing anecdote of Geu. Sbennau:
Beckwith, the commissary on Sherman's
* staff, went duo tiiy genowi’s. teat a ‘• v days
> since, and accu-ted .nm thus; i.-r.; A we
must make au»tner contract for beef; we have
■ not enough to iast two .months. ‘-Have you
enough to last tw.i months'”' inquired the
Generalc les sir." -Well, in less than two
: mouths the army writ ov in or in At
i lama : if it goes to un- former place we shall
; 1 eed no beef; if to the latter, we shall find
( enough tso .make no more contracts, lit ck
; with.
t (fen. Sherman is mistaken if he imagines
that he will find beef enough when ue gets to
Oii.mt '. for the supply is very limited, 1* pri
ces are ..ay index. V. e Agree with the Appen:
that Sherman w ii ! hav:-\> seek tin- other point
of destination for a supply, whith, ifheojtaiitc
! it, wiii hardly require cooking. Upon the
} whole, we imagine that Sherman is more like
ly to reach tbe first point named, than Atlanta.

The Bishop General.
Rev. Dr. Quintard, of Atlanta, at the
funeral ceremonies of Lieutenant Gen.
Polk, in the course of his remarks made
the following statements in regard to the
religious character of the fallen hero.
We clip from a report in the Atlanta Reg 4 '
ister:
It was my privilege to enjoy his friends
ship—it was my privilege to share his
few hours of unrestrained social inters
course. And if there was one thing
above another which always shone forth,
it was his unshaken confidence in God’s
providence—his unshaken trust in God’s
love—his unshaken confidence in God’s
faithfulness.
He a man of prayer.
Not praying^.where he could be seen of
men, but retiring to commune with God
# secret. He never eeased his devotions.
He was instant in.prayer; and I rcmeniv
ber how, after the bloody field of Perry
ville —when the noise and heat of the
battle had passed, we were in the town of
Harrodsburg. There was a beautiful,
church there, rich in architectural
portions and carved work. He asked me
to visit it with him. As we walked up
the aisle alone ; he exclaimed with emo>
tion, “Oh, for the days when we went up
to the house o! the Lord, and compassed
His altar with the voice of prayer and
thanksgiving.”
Reaching the chancel he said to me,
“can we prayers ? ’ and we knecL
ed down, paused out our hearts to (Sod,
and he left tne ,< 'sanctuary with a face all
bathed in tears. §uch a soldier did not
fight for fame. T remember at Chica
mauga, as we were seated upon the ground
a few days after the battle, he said to me
“G od answered my prayers in giving us
this great victory, prayed long and
earnestly that he our arms.”
Yes, he was emphatically man of
prayer. The last few weeks of his life
were more than others consecrated by
prayer. As we look back upon them, now
that he is gone, we see hpw God was pre
paring him for the higher communion of
the church triumphant.
At midnight, with a faitlilul few, he
baptised one ot his companions in arms,
the gallant Hood ; and received a few
days later his commanding General into
the Church of Christ. His last Sunday
on earth, he gathered.all his staff and at*
tendants about him, and with prayer and
with litany supplication and praise seemed
to leave them life benediction. He.was
greatly beloved by his troops. The tears
of his commanding General were mingled
with those of his privates when he fell
And O ! beloved, we are all smitten—the
army, the country, and the Church We
lift up our voice here between the porch
and the altar, and cry to God for mercy.
Mercy to our bleeding to the
hearts crushed by This. wKlfk calamity.
O, God ! lift up the rod be utter
ly consumed. Judge, O, God ! between
us and our enemies.
A Southern YankblP?lricx•—The
Memphis Bulletin, a late number of which
we have before us, says a certain large
factor of that city received a few days
since _ seven bales of cotton, from Chicot
county, Arkansas, in one of which, upon
repacking it, he found an old skillet, a sin
gletree, six iron grate bars, from a steam
gin, an iron pulley, two’ hundred and fifty
pounds of cotton seed, and sundry other
articles, together with the following ex*
planatory and solicitor}* note :

News from SHKtipAN’s Raiding
P ARTY.—r-Wq have the following infop
motion.from a perfectly reliable source;
A detachment of (Sheridan’s forces, about
five hundred in ntamber; entered Louisa
Court House on Saturday, and had a skir
mish with a portion of General Hampton’s
command withr.no important result. They
destroyed no property at the Court House,
but left in apparent haste. On Sunday
Gen. Hampton met Sheridan at Trevil
lianV depot, nine miles this side of Gor
donsville, when an engagement took place,
resulting in the complete rout of the ene
my, who left six hundred in killed, woun
ded and prisoners in our hands. The
Yankees retreated in much confusion by
the rpute over which they came, through
Caroline county. . This is the latest infor
mation we have of the movements of Sher
idan, who seems to have suddenly adopted
the “double-quick-.” We are peculiarly
gratified to record this evidence of the
gallantry of our cavalry.— Richmond Dis.
patch, 14?A.
—
Mr. “Jenkins” tells a very amusing an
ecdote of Eugenie. According to him,
the Empress is very jealous of late of the
Countess of Castiglione, who has recently
adopted anew mode of dressing her hair,
by throwing it back loosely, and tying it
behind with colored ribbons, the ends of
it Hanging down in curls. Eugenie, hav«
iflg made diligent search, procured a little
skye terrier, with hair of much the same
hue as her presumed rival in the imperial
affections, and after arranging it in a pre
cisely similar fashion to that of the lair
countess, turned the animal loose in her
husband’s library—thereby, it is suggest
ted, calling the lady an odious name by
implication. The Emperor was indignant
thereat, and a right royal row ensued in
consequence.
ArmyofTennesske.—Qen. Johnston’s army,
under the influence of clear, sunny weather,
and the cheering intelligence which reaches
it from all other quarters of the Confederacy,
is as full of spirit and life as ever. The vet
erans quietly recline behind the trenches,
and watch the harmless shells of the enemy
explode among the trees. Our position, ac
cording to high military authority, is the best
we have held since Dalton was abandoned.
Yesterday was characterized by the usual
amount of skirmishing, brisker towards the
left than on any other part of the lines. Wo
have heard an intiraalion that the enemy were
in possession of Lost Mountain, on our ex
treme the rumor is based not upon
positive evidence. The artillery fire of the
enemy lor the past lew days has been unus
ally spirited, but harmless in result, save the
one disastrous accident which has robbed the
army of one of its most useful directors and
the country of one of its noblest defenders.
Hume’s brigade of cavalry, on the right
wing of the army, four mile3 of Marietta, has
been preserving a pretty heavy skirmish line,
a few miles in advance of its position in front
of Bates’ division and running at right angles
with our main line of battle. The Yankees
keep the skirmishers constantly dodging
while the light of day lasts. From our out
posts the enemy can be distinctly heard chop
ping and digging, RS they lortify themselves
closer to ourline3.
At this writing our original positions are
unchanged in front of Marietta. An hour
may precipitate a battle, and a week or month
may intervene before the struggle is begun.
Sherman cannot flank or advance without a
battle, and in either event we have him at a
decided advantage.
Col. Huntley, of an Alabama Regiment, and
a portion of his command, were captured the
other day, while skirmishing on the outposts.

Siege of Charleston —Three Hundred and
Fdrty-Third Day. —The bombardment of the city
has been kept up since our lastrepert without in
termission. During Tuesday night forty shots
were fired, among them several time fuse shells.—
Twenty-six shots were fired during Wednesday
up to six o’clock in the evening. Time fuse shells
were again fired. The only casualty we learn
was that of an old negro woman, who was struck
and severely wounded by some flying pieces of
brick.
The enemy’s battery at Light House Inlet
opened for about an hour on beeessionville Wed
nesday afternoon.
Battery Gregg also kept up an occasional shot
at the Sullivan’s Island and James’ Island batte
ries. The enemy were very busy during the day
in hauling sand to both Gregg and Wagner from
the lower end of the Isl.%ud. In the forenoon a
working party of Yankees were engaged with a
derrick mounting anew gun on Wagner. A large
sirie wheel transport, laden with troops, canae out
of Stono during Wednesday forenoon, and sailed
North. It is now positively ascertained that Fos
ter has assumed’eoinmand.
We hare no change of consequence in the fleet
to report. The bombardment continued without
abatement at the hour of closing our report.—C'on

The People of Ric&mgxo—Spirit of
Troops. — A letter in the Columbia Guardian, of
7th inst., says :
Every stranger notes with astonishment and
gratification the c.tlmncs3 and confidence which
characterize the people of this capital. It is not
apathy : it is that deep seated conviction which
penetrates the army under the command of our
great Lee and the people in the immediate rear of
that staunch band of heroes.
Battalions of in fan try, bat t eries, and squadrons
of cavalry have been marohing past my window
nearly all day. With elastic steps, cheerful shouts
and truly martial bearing the ; e troops were moving
: forward to the scene of conflict, with a spirit, we
may boldly assert, which cannot be seen in any
other army. The troops are generally well clothed
and shod. Only now mvi then can be seen a
| beaded or shoeless veteran : but whenever any are
I seen you may be sure they do not march twe
| squares before they are supplied by fbe noble peo
j pie of Richmond. In one instar, -e a hatless sap
j per, with ax® across his shoulder, was outreh
■ ing in a stately manner at the head of bis regi
ment, vrben a lady rushed out of a house into the
very ranks of the soldiers and triumphantly put
herself a bat upon his head. A shout Lllowe l
the patriotic lady, who •-■SFeewd her spoejy retreat
under the continuous applause of b«*h soldiers ,
and spectators. La another iestance a citizen wr.a ;
seen to take off bis own shoes to supply a soldier
J marching through Main street.

we dwell upon the objects of the column of
Smith, so gloriously and so opportunely rout
ed by Gen. Forrest, we feel less inclined to
credit the theory that it was designed for t{ie
immediate Tcinftrcamcnt of Gherman. We
t ihiax it more likely that it was a column of
diversion, for its success in this view would
have aided Sherman far mor« than by the add
liion of ao many musket* to his force in front
of Gen. Johnston. Had Smith crossed the
Mobile and Ohio Road, we think it more prob
able that he would have faced South instead
of North. Oil the hypothesis that Alabama
had been stripped of troops to itrengthen
Johnston, the programme of Sherman’s great
raid was open to him to move on Selma, and
cut off Mobile from its interior communica
tions. Upon this theory, the collection of
Fajrragut's fleet off this harbor is explicable,'
as Weft as the-preparations known to be mak
ing at Pensacola. Fairagut’s demonstration
on Fort Pewell was timed to second Sherman’s
moved on Meridian. Has he not been wait
ing now to hear from Smith? Ft looks so.
and we think when be hears of Smith’s fate,
hs will draw off the great armament that is
wasting Lincoln’s strength and money in sight
es, but out of range of Fort Morgan’s guns. If
we are right, a few days will show, and we will
have to thank Gen. Forrest a second time for
defeating a grand combind land and naval
dcmaHstratio* cn Mobile and South Alabama
Forrest deeerves a statue of gold fbr his deed?

Dead Yavksks.—A gentleman who raachei
Richmond yesterday, reports that, in crossing
North Anna river in Caroline at the Telegraph
road, he counted in that stream no less than thirty
dead Yankees, all of them woundod, and evidently
drowned in attempting te cross that stream. They
floated aleng like dead kittens. The Yankee dead
in that vicinity were very numerous. The inhab
itants hadattempted their burial, hut had given it
up as an endless job. — Whiff.
New Orleans Presbyterians.—
The following paragraph from the New
Orleans correspondent of the Philadelphia
Presbyterian, bears testimony to the pa
triotism of the Presbyterians in New Or
leans :
“The condition of Presbyterianism here
is melancholy. Os six churches, only
three are open, and they are thinly atten
ded. The Presbytery of New Orleans
has not convened for two years, though a
quorum is within the lines. The truth is
a large proportion of the original mem>
bers remaining in the city are schismatic,
secret secessionists. ,v *
