Major Comd’g. 4S*-Ehquirer and Sun copy. j©9 ts 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. in— •- 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. i K Vj " • • C?G 7d 0' -;a cmw yes-p SJgg] Less df Yankee Generals.—-The Meridian Clarion says the Yankees have tost quite & batch of Generis since the commencemehfc of the. war. From Maine, Gei». Berry and Jameson were killed; Massachusetts,’ Gens. Whipple, Strong; and Stevenson, killed; gander died of wounds and exhaustion; Plumer died. Rhode Island, Gen.

We hope to be able to make large additions to this list before the close of the present campaign. —— ♦ 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 : To all Yankeedom : Gentlemen : After my regards, allow me to state* it affords me mueh pleasure to send you sample of Our articles First, as you have all the negroes, you mav need . extra fine prolific cotton seed to n ise vour own cotton. .Should -you like the sample we send, we c-hr furnish you all you want at the same price, at least not over 75 emus per pound, cost and carriage.

This packing is dose by an ex perienced Southern Yankee. $4.00 Per Month 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. [Atlanta Confederacy , 17 th. ♦ ■-» -» 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 rif:-, 1 tfh. 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. A distingetfhod foreign officer, who fought ' through , tbo Polish Revolution ol Isiw-Sl, re -1 marked in my bearing that be'bad never seen Ea j rupean troops display a like spirit.

Fos.st.esv a Last Sju.es i>u> Jon.— A> 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?
