He added, as his reason for so ordering, that he knew no such Stato as “West Virginia. 1 ' Negro Recruits Jin Kentucky.— The Chicago Tribune relates that seventeen black men presented themselves for enlistment in the army of the United States, according to the invitation of its authorities, at Lebanon, Ky., on Tuesday last. Certain persons there took them into a room for the alleged purpose of paying them bounties. Having got them in their power, they stripped the black fellows, and admin istered to each of them one hundred lashes, and then turned them loose. The Chicago Tribune says: Mrs. Afatt. Ward, widow of the murderer of Butler, the Louisville sehool teacher, has been ordered by Gen. Buford to leave the district of Eastern Arkansas within five days. She lias been playing double face with rebels and federals and violated her oath of allegiance. i— • «■»' Fire at Macon, Miss. —A fire (says the Clarion) took place at Macon, in the office qf the State Treas urer, on Tuesday, 14th inst. All the books and money were saved, except one box containing $852- 000 of cotton money, which was entirely consumed. Wonderful to relate the incendiary was Gov. Clark, who caused this sum of cancelled money to given to the devouring element. It is said that seven hundred dead and badly wounded Yankees were counted in front of Hoke’s line after the fight; and, what is most surprising, Hoke only had two men killed. From all accounts the loss of the enemy on Friday could not have been less than six thousand killed and severe’v woun ded. The Crops— The Petersburg Express of the 10th says: The season for cropping so far has been one of the best wt have had for many years. The corn, while small, has that strong and healthy look which the experienced farmer so delights to see, and the oat crop, at present, bids fair to be such as to meet the requirements of the country. ♦ mm Major Whiteford Russell, one of the most es teemed citizens of Augusta, was recently killed in a cavalry engagement in Virginia.

Wright, of Car roll county, who was elected on motion of J. W. Stewart, the former director from that county, who, on account of other pressing en gagements for the company, being a manager, and necessarily absent most of the time on the work, deeliired re-election himself, and pre sented the name of Mr. Wright. A committee was appointed to examine the reports of the officers, after which they ar# to be printed. The meeting was characterized by harmony. One fact is noticable in the report of the Pres ident, to-wit : That both the Confederate and State Governments have uniformily given en couragement and countenance to this laudable enterprise. This is commendable ; that whilst our government has so many things to lock to and so much to do. it nevertheless finds time to co-operate with our citizens in such enter prises, the success of which so materially con cern the productive energies of the'country. LaGrange Reporter. Her Most Catholic Majesty of Spain will recog nize the “flat Dutch” empire of Mexico when Maximilian has officially informed the Queen that he is “established.” Old Tom Corwin was shrewd in resigning before the order of things took place, or he might bare occupied the position of an un welcome guest, and some burLy royal Dutchman b*en good enough to step oa his republican coat tail. °Ry this clever dodge he throws the respon sibility of recognizing .the brutal violator of the Monroe doctrine directly on Lincoln, and if he appoints another minister to Mexico, and Congress confirms it and makes appropriations for an out fit, the Yankee nation will have eaten it3 own words (a most disgusting mess, it must be confes sed) and giveu the lie to its own braggadocio.

Gcntown, Ju»e 15k 1864. Mr. Editor : The greatest fight of the. war has just closed—a most splendid victory has beea achieved, and that victory has been fol lowed up rapidly, and every advantage secured that could be gained therefrom. This battle one of the most remarkable cavalry en gagements on record, and no one, except an eye witness, can well conceive of the appear ance of the battle field and the line of pursuit strewed with wagons, ammunition, arms ac coutrements, harness, Yankees, dead and alife, artillery and plunder taken from these thier ing marauders on their way southwards. The news of the enemy’s movements from Memphis reached General Forrest whilst on the march with Buford's division to Middle Tennessee. A countermarch was immediate ly ordered, and the command reached Tupelo ou the sth inst. The trip having been made over a rough country, entirely destitute of supplies, and a rainy season of several days’ duration, placed the horses in a condition that was by no means favorable for rapid march ing. On the 6th we received information that the enemy were moving on Ripley, and a scouting party of the enemy having made a reconnois anee from Ripley towards Rienzi, and thence northwards to Corinth, it was supposed that the intention of the enemy was to reinforce Sherman, and preparatory to harassing his advancing columns, our forces were ordered to Baldwyn, and thence to Beonville, where they were on the morning of the 19th inst.— Col. Rucker’s brigade, which was at Oxford, had been ordered to New Albany, and crossing the Tallahatchie, had engaged the enemy, who however, did not pursue theadvantage gained or show any disposition so to do. Reports came in from Ripley that there was no enemy in that place, and owing to high water, the movements of the enemy were masked from the observation of our scouts. On the even ing of the 9th our scouts reported them in camp, six miles from Ripley, and moving southward on the Ripley and Fulton road. Orders weie immediately issued to march southward, obtain their front, and harass them until they reached the prairie country near Okalona, when a general engagement would take place. Oa the morning of the 10th the column moved forward on the road via Black land ; the Kentucky brigade, CoL H. B. Lyon, in front; Col. Rucker’s brigade, which had passed us the day before, next; and Col. Bell’s brigade of Tennesseeans in the rear. Col. Johnson's brigade of Brig. Gen. Roddy’s cav alry was camped near Guntown. When with in two miles of Bryce’s Cross Roads, the head of the column was fired into by the advance of the enemy, and skirmishing commenced.— So rapid had been the enemy's march, that no one supposed that he was in force, but that this was only a scouting party. Preparations were at once made to meet any emergency, and Col. Lyon threw forward his brigade into line, deployed skirmishers and moved forward to feel the strength of the enemy. Colonel Ruck er was formed on his left. The enemy were posted near Bryce’s Cress Roads, between our cavalry and Tupelo, and their intention was to annihilate the cavalry and thus possess themselves of the whole country. His force was near 12,000 : 12 reg iments of infantry, of which two weje negroes, 7,000 strong, with 18 pieces of Artillery and three brigades of cavalry 5,000 strong, and a light battery of mounted howitzers. Our available force was 3,500 men and 8 pieces of artillery. Col. Lyon, commanding the brig ade, was ordered not to bring on a general engagement, but to move forward and obtain possession of the Cross Roads, and enable our force to get between the enemy and Tu pelo. But it was soon evident that the enemy were in force. About 12 M., Gan. Buford reached the ground with our artillery and Bell’s brigade. He road forward, reconnoi tred the position of the enemy, and our own, and turning to General Forrest, gave it as his opinion that the enemy should be whipped at once; that we should move forward with vigor, and before the Yankee General could assemble his troops, whip his advance, and force him to fight by detail. “If we wait till to-morrow, he will whip us—for he will con centrate his forces, and move them as one body—the enemy do not expect to meet our forces at this point,” said General Buford.— The accuracy of this opinion was at once per ceived byG en. Forrest, and he remarked that he would take BelPs brigade round to the ex treme left and move forward, Raving General Buterd to manage the right. Col. Johnston's brigade was formed on the extreme right at this time. The enemy were now moving their infantry, two and three regiments at a tim«, pressing them up at a double quick. Bell’s brigade having been placed in position, one whole line commenced moving .forward. The artillery had been placed on a very exposed point in an open field, so as to command the Ripley and Fulton roads, and fired directly towards Bryce’s House. This fire was very destructive upon the enemy’s batteries, and upon his columns as they moved up to obtain position. This fire from our artillery prevented, as did also the nature of the country, the enemy from using his artillery to any advantage, or more than a single battery at a time. Now commenced the fight in earnest. As the Yan kee regiments were pressed up, they were thrower forward, and received the steady fire of our gallant soldiers. A steady advance was maintained along our whole line. For three hours the fight : raged equal to auy in fantry fight on record —in fact, it was an in fantry fight. Our line moved forward in splendid order—the : sroops, many of them now experiencing for the first time the rough shock of a fight, cheering and sending havoc into the exhausted ranks of the enemy. It was now near 5 o’clock, P. M. On the route to the scene of conflict, and after the skirmishing commenced. General Buford ordered Colonel Barteau’s regiment, 2nd Tennessee, to proceed from Carroliville on the road to Ripley, about three miles, and then move over to the road the enemy were on, and attack him iii the rear or the Col. Barteau moved Us directed, got in rear of the enemy and attacked him vigorously. The news of this attack in rear was soon carried to the front. Col. Barteau displayed a long line of skirmishers, and deceived the enemy. Whipped in front, attacked in rear, they now commenced a retreat, worse than Bull Run. Our men pressed forward rapidly, and the en emv. as their remaining regiments came into action made an effort to stdnd, and check the ardor of our pursuit. But their troops were demora lizeci —a panic seized them the t,: rcats they had made of capturing Forrest's cavalry, and turning them over to the negroes to be dealt with, operated with fearful memory on their minds, and only death v>as presented to them if they were captured. A mile from the cross roads our advancing 5 columns ommenced passing wagons deserted, , caissons left behind, and everything indica tion- a rout —a mile further the evidence was ; more conclusive, and about three miles from the cross roads the majority ot their train wa3 left, filled with rations, forage, ammunition 1 and many of the luxuries of earth. On we moved, the enemr occasionally stopping and returning our tire. About lour mue; ;rom the cross roads, the route being complete. ou w ! troops were halted, and awaited their horse* ! $4.00 Peri Month »J. W. WARREN, Editor which werefceing brought from the rear. At 10 o'clock a. m., the 11th, our trodps were in the saddle, and the pursuit commenced. Ten miles from the cross roads, at the crossing of the Hatchee, the remainder of their train, their artillery ambalances and wounded were left in great confusion. Onward we pressed them—their cavalry turning to give us a vol ley once in a while, in order to enable their infantry to gain a little rest. At Ripley they made a stand, which was equal to most cavalry engagements, but they were pushed back in confusion. At Ripler, Gen. Forrest, with Bell’s brigade, made a de tour to the left, to Salem, leaving Gen. Bu ford to follow the pursuit direct. Gen. For rest’s intention was to reach Salem while they were passing, and cut their column in two, and thus capture the main portion of their army. The pursnit not being rapid enough for Gen. Buford, and perceiving that the en emy only had a very small rear guard of cav alry, he determined to charge through this aad reach their infantry. Rucker’s brigade was in immediate pursuit, and under instruc tions from the General, he pushed forward, charged on horseback, driving the cavalry back on their infantry, and capturing several hundred. Col. Faulkner’s Kentucky regi ment, Major Tate commanding, of the third brigade, was now ordered to the front, and made a most gallant charge, scattering theu' infantry in all directions. At Ripley we captured two more pieces of artil iery. Gen. Buford pursued them to Davis’ Mills, about five miles of Lagrange, in person. On his arrival at that paint ho sent forward two reg iments to Lagrange, and returned from the pur- Sl " V We i h f d P ursued thei » this day a distance •f fifty-eight miles. Their infantry marched most unprecedentedly, and their officers declared they would all have surrendered but for the fear of death. Tho whole route was strewn with arras, cartridge boxes, bayonets, sabres, their dead, and U mi^ an^ e u‘ ff.* 16 trut k beggars uny description. -the result of the engagement is. over five hun dred thousand rounds of ammunition, seventeen pieces of artillery, over two hundred wagons, im mense stores, quartermaster, commissary and ord nance, and several thousand stand small arms, and twenty-five hundred prisoners. Our loss was severe. Many a gallant officer and brave private tell a victim to tho deadly bullet and many a household will be clothed in raoura rag. Our entire loss was about 450 killed and wounded. The division of Gen. Buford immor talized themselves, and Rucker’s brigade kept even pace throughout. The brigade cemraanders, Col. H. L. Lyon, of Kentucky, Col. T. H. Bell, of Tonn., and Col. Rucker, of Terns., have fairly earned promotion on this gallant field. It is unnecessary to mention the gallantry of Gen. Forrest and his Staff. Ho was ever in the midst ofthe attacking columns. To Gen. Luferd is due tho greatest praise for tho qmckness of his perception, the rapidity with moved, and the mastorly manner in which he .handled his troops. This officer is one among the most accomplished in the service, and deserves the highest encomium for his conspicuous gallantry on this day. Col. Bell lost two mombers of his staff', Lieut. Porter and Capt. Bell killed, and two others wounded. Col. Lyon lost ono of his staff, Cadet Skinner wounded. Officers and men did their duty. The action of the Kentucky brigade was noted on that day for its steadiness, and having been in infantry, the other brigades emulated its example, and vied to keep pace with it. The Bth Kentucky captured one piece of artil lery at Bryce s House, the color bearer standing on the piece and holding aloft his flag. This is one of the most gallant, though one of the smallest regiments in the service. The enemy devastated the whole country through which they passed. Their movement southward and their return formed a strong contrast. The fight from 10 o’clock to about *L2 m. on the 10th inst. was carried on by Lyon’s brigade, who had driven tho enemy nearly a mile before the other brigades came up. The enemy’s loss was about 1000 to 1200 killed, and some 500 to 600 wounded. An Eye Witness. [From the Atlanta Register.] Dcatli of Col.

Cummings, in Atlanta, at 8 o’clock on the morning of Saturday, June 18th, 1864, to pay a tris bute of respect to the memory of the late Colonel Andrew Ewing, of Tennessee, who died at 2 o’clock, bn Friday morning, the 17th. Governor Ishaui G. Harris, on motion of Dr. J. G. M. Ramsey, was called to the chair. * On motion of General J. T. Dunlap, John E. Hatcher was appointed Secreta ry- Governor Harris, on taking the chair, paid an eloquent tribute to the high worth and many noble virtues of the deceased. The following named gentlemen, on motion of Judge Gardenhire, were ap pointed a committee to repoit a series of resolutions expressive of the sentiments of the meeting : Dr. J. G. M. Ramsey, of Hnox county; General M. J. Wright, of Shelby county; General J. T. Dunlap, of Henry county; Hon. J. D. C. Atkins, of Henry county ; Judge Gardenhire, of White county; Captain Henry Watterson, of Warren county; Major G. W. Cunningham, of Davidson county; Major W. S. Mundy, of Sumter county; Captain Albert Rob erts, of Davidson county. The Committee reported the following resolutions, which were adopted. Whereas, it has pleased the Supreme Ruler of the Universe to call from its earthly mansion the spirit of an eminent citizen, an earnest patriot and a Christian man, endeared to society alike by his pub lic services and private worth, and cut otf from his home and family by the accident of war, and that it is consistent with the feeling and duty of an assembled portion of his. fellow-citizens and friends to exs press a sense of personal and public res gret, as well as sympathy with the house hold made desolate by an irreparable loss • therefore, Resolved, That in the death of the Honorable Andrew Ewing, the State of Tennessee is deprived of one of her purest and ablest statesmen, and the country at large of an exemplary and useful citizen, L. That the Army will miss iroui the department of justice, an upright judge, brave commander, and a sympathetic friend. 3. That the profession of the law loses from its circle a brilliant intellect, an eloquent voice, and an earnest stoker for truth. 4.

Story of a Deserter from Grant Army. A deserter from Grant’s army came into our lines on the 13th. He belonged to Bum side’s corps. He tells a sad story. He sav-. that Grant's army is utterly demoralized and the men sick and dying like sheep. The met have been on short food for weeks. bein«- noth ing but hard tack aad fresh beef, without change. The consequence is that a large num ber hav» become sick, and the mortality is represented by him as fearful. He says that no attention is paid to the men. and that the*/ are to life and die like dogs. The whole army he represent?:? as dissatisfied with and in a state of great dissatisfaction and dis content. He states that the men will not fight, and that they are ready to desert when ever an opportunity occurs, and that the on 7 '* way Grant holds them in subordination is hv the most rigorous and extreme measures. This deserter declares, in the most so!cm manner, that the alleged demoralization o Grant's army is literally true : that there ?-■ no doubt of it: that it really and absolute! exists The reasons given by him for it arV these: That the whole array is jaded an dispirited from the long forced marches dow from Spottsylvania: that the men have bee on short rations; that great sickness prevail throughout the ranks ; that the men have !o all confidence in Gramt.: that they believe he “fights them too hard;” that no* attention is paid the sick and wounded; and that “vet"/ few of them have any hone of ever tuk’'rG Richmond.” He tells also that Grant's armv has sufl'ere i terribly in the late battles. He” says that rh • Fifty-eighth Massachusetts regiment, whh numbered eight hundred and fifty at the butt: > of the Wilderness, cannot muster now tv hundred and fifty men, all told.
