(.lon. Twiggs for ■ho following dispatch, received last night Hfrom Col. i)uncan, commanding at Fort f Jackson. The account wliich it gives of the conflict on Saturday lust, presents a now ver sion of that affair. Dr. Bradbury, whogives this, tho enemy’s vorsion of tho affair, is vouched for as a rclialdo gentleman by many citizons. No doubt his relation is very reliable ; but as lie only, states, what ■he heard from, the enemy, it is suspec ted by our naval officers that thi3 version is :t cunning invention of tho enemy to con ceal tho iiict of tho sinking of tho Preble.— It is believed by Com. Hollins and Capt. AVarlcy that it was the Preblo that was struck, and that sho sunk on tho spot when she was struck. Capt. Warloy, who com manded tho Manassas, has sorvod on tho (Richmond, and is familar with her shape and structure, and is postivo that tho vossol run into was not tho Richmond, or any oth er steamer, but a round stern sailing vossol. He is equally postivo, and the prow of the Manassas gives confirmation of it, that no vessel could have lived after such a blow, us , the Manassas must have run into tho hull snore than ten toot. Tho prow of tho Ma massas brought off several shoots ot cop per, some heavy pieces of timber, including a piece which was varnished, and which must have beon a portion of the cabin or store room. It will bo seen that in tho toi- infor i tr s* h-f: 1 in’ river. Oct 14—8 o’clock M. To Maj. Gon. D. E. Twiggs: Jk About 10 oklock Saturday tho fight was going on in tiro S. Yr Puss, Dr. Bradbury was arrested in a small boat , about a mile below the head of tho Passes, by the -U. S. steamer McClellan, Capt. Gray formerly of the Star of tho West, command iir,g. After taking him prisoner, tho stea mer put about and went out of Pass a l'Ou .tre and nrouud to the Southwest Pass, im imediatoly going alongside of tho Richmond. The following information is therefore relia ble as tho onemy’saceount. Thu Richmond was struck by tho rain instead of the Pre ble ;-ho was struck a little abaft the foro .chains—a small indentation in her copper is wisiblo, her great injury being below tho water lino.

HARRIS (DUSTY, GEORfJA, TffRSIUV MORNING, NOVEMBER 28, ISM. her in the namo of tho government, and de tached Liout. Warloy from tho -Mcßao, to tako chargo o* her. Capt. Stevenson resign ed liis command and went ashore with tears in his eyes. Dicut. Warloy road his authori ty to the erew; and informed them that ac cording to the navy regulations and ü ßa ge, all prise money gained would bo divided a m*g the whole fleet, whether WO n by the Manassas or any oilier vossol. This created ‘considerable dissatisfaction, particularly as it was believed that tho na ry regulations provided lor the.division of prize money only among commission officers and gavo no shares to tho men. Although t,hc mnjorily worc resolved to stay by her, whe ther rewarded or not, some fourteen look their effocts and went ashore. Liout AVar 4ey then passed word for volunteers to fill their places from the men on board the oth er vessels, and found no difficulty in getting the required number. There were thirty two souls, all told, on the Manassas when she finally started on the experimental trip. Lieut. AVarlcy had command, Charles Aus tin was his first officer, and William Hardy was tho engineer. Three more resolute or determined men cannot bo found any where and they were selected for their post not only for their courage but for their coolness. Lieut. Warloy had orders from Commo dore Hollins to run a head of tho whole ex pedition, and make a trial of tho ram under any circumstances and at all hazards. Her nino-inch gun was not to bo used at all, and in fact she only had a dozen cartridges for it in her magazine. Tho port holo forward was closod down, and so was tho after hatch. The forward hatch alone was opened four inches, so as to permit the steersman and pilot to have a good view ahead. Mr Aus tin, who knows every inch of the river, pi loted her himself, tho pilot having left her at tho fort. It was pitch dark. -Abetter night could not have boon selected for tho purpose, and the ram glided noiselessly down tho cur rent. . Never beforo had she run so well. Ten miles an hour was supposed to bo her inax •imnm speed, but sho was making at least thirteen knots. The water ran up over her bow and split off on each side with beauti ful play, making a gentle and really musical rippling sound. She had left tho othor boats far behind, but still she kept on hor swift course. All of a sudden Austin discovorod tho dim outline of a ship right ahead. lie sang out to'tho engineer: “Lot hor out Hardy, lot hor out now.” Instantly tho far, tallow, and sulphur that had been prepared was thrown into her furnace, and tho hand of hor stxumigngo rnn up to tho highest point’. ‘How much prosura on the boilers worw giv ■cn can novor be known, it uvas far above,her allowance. Now sho was discovered by tho watch on tho enemy’s decks and they gavo the alarm, and sent up a bluo light from the Richmond, probably a private signal to tho Niagara bo low. Austin made out tlie bow of tho vos sol she was approaching and steered her for it, so r.s to strike Between her hog chains and hor main chains. The aim was a true one, the momentum of the ram was torific, and the crash, as she drove her prow 20 foot deep into tho ship’s hull, was truly fearful. Every man aboard tho Manassas was knock ed down by tho violence of tho concussion, and tho whole boat vibratod like an aspen. Tho engines were at once rovorsod, and sho backed-right out, bringing off on her prow wholo sheets of tho Prehlo’s edjiporihg and big splinters of hor solid live oak bow. Tho Richmond, A r incennos, l’reblo and Water Witch wore at anchor in the lino of'a V, with spring cables, and steam up on tlio two steamers. As tho Manassas backed off lrom the Preble, her officers saw tho Rich mond lying right beforo them, with her fall broadside exposed. Here was a splendid opportunity and they bad no doubt from their success against tho Problo, that they would out her in two. Not a einglo shot had boon fired at them yet, and such was the confusion on board of all tho ships that they commenced ringing their log bolls, which proved that even ,yot they were con liissed and ignorant ol the naturo of our at tack, that some of them supposed it to bo an accidental collision, canned by tho ox tremo darkness, and rang tho fog .tells so as to show tho Manassas their position and en able her to avoid them. Again Mr. Austin sang out to the engin eer: “Now lot her out, Ilanly and give it to hor.” It was at this moment that Mr. llardy discovered that ono of tho conden sers had boon broken by tho shook of tho concussion in striking tho Preblo, which rondored one of her engines useless, and ho know sho had not power enough in the oth ro to run hor into anything else. lie there fore passed the word up that the machine ry was disabled, and nil she could do would bo to haul off as best sho could. Bitter was tho disappointment to Lieut. AV'urley as ho saw tho full sido of the Richmond right before him, but thero wnsuo help forit, and it might even boa critical matter of escapo. Working ono engino sho made a circuit around toliead up stroam, and this brought her right under tho Richmond and tho Arin eonnes. By this timo tho officers on board those vosseds had recovered ther presence of mind sufficiently tocomprohond that this extraordinary collision was no accident, but u very cool and audacious assault .by tho enomy, and that tho long, low, black* look ing object floating right boforo them was tho cause of tho danger and alarm. Then they manned their guns, which weroalroady shouttod, and now tho invidnerability ofthe Manassas was fairly tested. First enmo tho wholo broadsido of the Richmond, and di rectly after tho entire broadside of tho A'incen ucs, followed by the eight-inch shells of tho Water AVitcli. Tho roar of cannon was tremendous, and it seomod to those cooped up in the little ram as if al! tho thunder holts of Jove were mined upon them. L Our Actioni* are In our own in that of Providence. Tho flag staff and ono of the chimney stacks of the Manassas wore cut off as clean as if by a knife, hut tho guns of the ships had not boon sufficiently depressed and all their Balls, except two or tlirco, went over her. Sho has but ono indentation, near the bow, in hor iron armor, to show that she was struck at all, but it is bettered that ojb or shots reached her and glanced off without leaving a procoptiblo mark of their visit.— Now the confidence of all on board return ed, and aftor having passed through suoli a volley unscathed, they knew they were safe and sound. According to Ihodirovtlon of Commodore Hollins, a rocket was to ho sent up from Her tho moment of her making the attack as a signal for tho other boats lo come up, but she had come upon tho Preble so unex pectedly tborc was no chance till now to obey the order. But aftor the broadsides woro fired at her, the after hutch was thrown open and the midshipman who had charge of tho rockets lighted ono of them. In the excitement of the moment ho held fast to tho stick, o that the firo burned his hand and flow down the hatchway. A number of men woro dose by it below and thought it was a shell from tho enemy. Tho way they rolled over aud piled into corners is a joke they will never forget in their lives. Three rockets were sent up u.s tho signal of a successful at tack, and the Manassas kepi or. up tho river,although making very slow timo in comparison with her velocity down stream, just before. Tho Richmond now took tho A r lncoano3in tow an l iho \Valov AVitcli grappled tho Preblo, all tho time keeping up a heavy tire on tho ram, but without striking her except ono, and thci knoekingdown hot remaining chimney over the vent of tho othor one. This choked up the outlet for the smoke, and as they wore yet burning the tar and sulphur and tallow, the asphyxiating gas that arose from itrush-, cd down and spread throughout the boat,! threatening to suffocate every ono iua few minutes. Nothing was to bo dono except* for soroo one to go on dock and cut away tho wreck, while tho ships, loss t han a quar ter of a inilo distant, woro raining their balls all around thorn. Seizing an axe, Mr. Hardy rusood up the companion-way, nor could * Liout. AVarlcy, who had not discovered tho accident, hold him hack. Austin saw him go up, and knowing that lie could not stand alono on tho arched roof, followed him. up. There on tho unguarded top, Hardy cut away tho fallen chiinnqy and its guys, with the axe, whilo Austin, bracing his foot firmy. apart, held him steady. All tho while the nulls ami sholls woro whistling port afid around them. Tho vent was opened and the sulphurous smoko rushed out, just as those below wore getting almost suffocated. The tiro boats had been set on fire but woro blown ashore by tho winds, and burn ed up without doing any llama go. The 1 lisoaroru was ahead of the othor boats, but sho got aground and they had to pull her off. Commodore Hollins ordorod Lieut. AVarlcy to run tho ram aground, an it was oasicr than to anchor her, and tho licet then went on down after tho^nemy. As an incident of tho panic among the Linoolnitcs, when tho steamers towed olf the sloops of-war and left the schooner Toono to look out .for hersolf, lior officers and mon ran ashore and mado off into tho swamp, where thoy will probably starve to death, for our mon tried for several hours on Saturday morning to find them, but did not succeed. TlLic quick Process ofTannlng Leath er. AVe paid a visit on Saturday to tho tan ory of Messrs Boothby, Savage A C’o., on tlic Canal at the foot ol Pino street. This establishment has boon in existouec about eight months, but tho proprietors have not attracted public attonlion lc their new pro cess of tanning,preferring to wait until they could introduce their leather in tlio market, that the public might liavo an opportunity ol testing its qualities. By their patent process they are cnablod to tan and finish leather, from the lime, in from fifteen to six ty days, according to the size and weight of the skins. In their vats ami in their process of fin ishing, wo saw solo aud harness feather, kid, calf, sheep, goat and alligator skins. Tho finishod calf-skins, sheep-skins and other uppcr-loatbcr, submitted to our inspection, appeared to be well nmlthoroughly tanned, being remarkably smooth, soil and pliable. Shoemakers who have made tj> the leather speak very favorably ot it, and as lor as an opportunity lias boon afforded here to test its wearing qualities, it has proved very sat isfuetoiy. Tho new process of tanning, bosidos bo ingvory quick and economical, is verv sim plo iu its operation. The cost ,of putting a taunory in operation is much loss than is re quired by tho old system, and tho process is so simple that with a little instruction in tanning and dressing leather, plantation bauds couid carry on a tannery in all de partments, and producogood leather. Messrs. Boothby k Savago inform ns that their leather is in such requost that, with their present works, they aro senreoly ablo to supply the domand, and although their prices aro only about ono-halt tlio present prices of leather in this market, they make a good profit on their sales. Wo understand that an oxtensivo tan nory is carried on in Texas by parties wiio imrehnsed tho patent right for tho State, t has been in operation nearly two years, and is turning out large quantities of excel lent leather tanned by tlio now process. Specimens ofthe leather from the tan nery in this city may he seen at the office o! Alderman AVylly, Agent of tho Company, and who will sell rights for counties uud State.—(Suro/inuA IVeics.

After tho second rout# from the broadside of tho fleet, tho principal gun on tho battery was disinclin ed. _Tbe engagement lasted five hours, and all oilr guns on Fort Walker, excepting two boiug dismantled, tho order was given to ovacuato tho fort, which was done, it being no longer tollable. Previous to tho evacuation ofthe fort, an arrangement was made for tho blowing up •i'Jr? r lnagazino, in any attempt of the ene my to open it.

The Governor of Tennessee, in bis into message to tho Legislature, says: ‘■l regrot that it is my duty to cull your attention to the tondency to monopoly* and ox tort ion which exists, to an injurious ex tent, with a class of our citizens, who intent upon tho sordid purposos of gain, are taking advantage of the peculiar circumstuncos of the times, to reap exorbitant profits ft-om tho necessities of'thc government and the wants of the people. “Complaints have reached mo from vari ous portions ofthe State, of this unpatriotic and destructive tendency to extravagant speculation, placing every indispensable to tlio support of uu unay, as well us tho ordi nary necessaries of life at prices far abovo those warranted by tho legitimate laws of trado, and, in many casos,beyond tho roach ol tho more indigent classes of society. “Tho merchants aud tradesmen, whilo re strained within proper limits, aro noeessary and useful members of tho community, and in common with evory other legitimate pur suit, are entitled to tho fostering care ottho Government; but, whon forgetful ot their duly as citizons, thoy suffor thomselvcs tp bo so far tempted upon tho sea of specula tion, us to bocomo serious ovils rather than conveniences to tlio public, it bccoinos ypRT duty, as tho guardians of that pulilie, tp ad opt such measures as will best tend to res train illegitimate and impropor speculation, and put down an evil which is becoming sp provalout and’ mischievous. “In ordinary times, an outraged public sentiment and tho laws of trado would ac cotnplish this end, hut in ■ times of general distress and threatened djipger, when the Government is involved in war, aid must secure, regardless of price, whatever may be necessary to tho maintenance mid com fort ol our patriotic and brave countrymen who have gone to the field to uphold the rights and tho honor of their country, and to defend the lives and property of this class who are thus speculating upon their priva tions and necessaries, the authorities cannot bo too vigilant in their efforts to restrain tho excesses of avarice and protect society a gainst the evils to which it is exposed.” These timely remarks of Governor Harris we aresoiy-.Vikubelicvo, Charles ton Mcrfitry, have a wido spread application and we re-produce them for tho considera tion of the people and authorities of the State. Shylocks and sharpers, tlio meanest of God’s creatures at all times, in plying their villainous trado at such a time as this, hamper and enfeeble tho operations ofthe Government, and thus add the infamy of treason to tlio baseness of inhumanity.— Tho authorities cannot deal too rigorously with such vermin vrbouovorthey eonio with in reach of tho law—and the people should at all times held them as the objects of scorn and contempt. From the Xnsliville Banner. Preservation ot Slieep trout Dog*. Much is said about tlio necessity of kill ing dogs, in order to raise shoop. I soo the Legislature is similarly impressed. Tho writer of this well remembers when a boy, that his fhthor, (residing in Kentucky,) nev er had any sheep killed by dogs, although his (look was much tho largest of any in the neighborhood. Oil ono occasion, 1 well ro momber, when thero was over fifty sheep killod ono night, immediately around in the neighborhood, and that five or six neighbors that had lost sheep tho night previous, came to my father’s to learn his losses, but their astonishment was great to learn lie had lost no sheep. Thoy then sagely concluded, that it was his dogs that had depredated on their flocks. Accordingly all his dogs, soino eight or ten, were called up and their mouths rig idly examined, to find blood or wool as evi dence of thoirguiit—butnonocould be found and their astonishment was still creator.— -My father told them ho could oasily satisfy them, they would never have a sheep kill ed by doc or wolf if they would do with their flocks ns ho did with his. Their wonder was increased when bo told them, all they had to do was to lot their sheep run fl'HfLLttru -eiL constant’ .nnd they would never have a shoop killed by a dog or wolf. To show them tho proof of his correctness, he invited them to walk with him to thepnsturo whore hissheep and cattle woro feeding, taking along all tho docs. AA’hen they reached tho pasture, my father requested tho gentleman to set tho dogs on tho sheep orcattlo. This was dono. Tho shoop immediately sought protection by running to, under and behind the cattle, whilo tho latter made an immediate attack on the dogs, and in loss than five minutes every dog was run out of thepnsturo. Ono of tlio gentleman ask tho privilege of bring ing his dogs, thinking my father's dogs had boon trained to rnn from tho cattle. This request was readily granted, nnd all tho gentlemen met again noxt morning, when some four dogs woro sot on tho sheep with the same rosult, .viz : Tho dogs woro driv en out of tho pasture in even less time. This satisfied the gentlemen nnd there woro no more sheep killed in that neighborhood. About twenty years after, the writer of this fell heir tosomc thousand head ofshoop. Tho neighborhood to which ho removed then was greatly afflicted with what were called sheep killing dogs, nnd remembering bis father’s custom, 1 kept my sheep and cattle together, still residing in Kentucky. Ono morning six or eight ofhis neighbors called in, that had lost some oighty shoop tho night before. Learning I had lost none out of my flock, thoy woro unanimous in the belief that my dogs had dono the mis chief. Tho dogs woro ail called up and eritioaliy ozamined for proof of their shoop killing proclivities, but without tho least BiieeoßS. As thoy had two or throo dogs of their own with them, I told thorn that if they would walk with mo to my sheep, I would learn them how to prosorvo sheep from being killod by dogs. They did so, and on reaching tlio pasture of sonic 200 accres, I desired tho gcutloinon to sot their dogs on my sheep and to do their best iu doing so. The effort was most earnestly mado, but it was not five minuets beforo every dog was driven ovqr tho fonco out of the past mc-tba shoop running directly to the cattle for protection and the cattle assumed tho belligerent attitude towards tho dogs, nnd cleared tho pnsluro in no timo of them. No more sheep killed in that rogion. Now, Mr. Editor, any gentleman can prove this by n trial—-it may take a short time for tho sheep and .cattle to nssimilato together, bnt that it is certain, is boyoud question—thoreforo don't kill any more dogs on account ot man’s ignorance.
