I think a thousand men would whip them off the

on all the Southern States bordering on the Atlantis,
but I think they have gained very little by taking
Tybee Island. Ido not think they can get enough

party of Yankee troops, armed with muskets, were
observed from the fort advancing along, the beach,

and shell were fired at them from the fort. When
the first shell was fired, the Yankees prostrated
themselves on the ground ; after the second shell
burst over them they arose and fled to the cover of

beach, out of the reach of the guns of the fort. It
is not known whether any of them were hit by our

sisters and brothers. I have been in the rebel army
for three or four months. Was caught and threat

by man. commence and givej , on the full de

received your last letter, a young man, postmaster
of that place (Tigersvillo, La.), came to use. He
had heard some men say they were going to arrest
me for being an Abolitionist, because I was from a
NI:ChM ; he told me to try and get away_
I mailed a letter to you with $3O in it, then went
and hid in a wood-house until dark. When the
cars came I went to the town I spoke of in one of
my letters (Brashear City). When I got there,
there was no way of getting away without gains
Wit through the town I had left.
So fearing to go back, I took passage on the
steamer Matagorda, for Galveston. When I got
to Texas, they were bikini up Union men and
hanging thornlike dogs. I got use an old suit of
clothes, and hired myself out to work on the H. T.
& B. R. R., until I could get a chance to get away.
That was in the month of March. I worked there
about three weeks. when in company with a young
Man from Ohio, I starte d to walk to Red rifer, all
communication by sea beine ' cut off. It was a dan
gerous project, but better than staying and being
forced illt9 the TO* army, We had got within oU
miles of Alexandria, on the river, when we were
stopped by a band of villains and forced to join a
company of volunteers, in a small town called
Cheneyville, Rapids Parish, La. We were kept
three weeks, when we were taken to New Orleans
and mustered into the State service of Louisiana.
We were then taken up to a town called Tanehi
phis. Went into camp, were drilled for near three
months, then mustered into the Confederate see

last Monday in June. Wednesday morning.

Where. Niic Ig, was, I kept awake all night,
hoping the cars would stop long enough for me to
find out if she was still there, and have her let you
know where I was, for I could not send a letter
without letting our officers read it. But the cars
stopped enl7 a few `
minutes, So I bad to go without
seeing her. We travelled night and day until Fri
day morning at two o'clock, only stopping for wood
and water, and then a heavy guard around the
train to loop the man from running aft On that
morning I pretended I had the diarrhcea, and got
out. My friend crawled from under the ears, and
we took to the woods and made our way towards
Kentucky. (The town where we left the train is
Bristol, Sullivan county, Tennessee.) We travelled
until a little before day, when wo hid ourselves.
At 11 o'clock we started again, and ran right into
a town called Blountville before we knew it. We
both had military clothes on, and were surrounded
by a band of rebels and eame near being taken,
but we talked them out of it, told them we were
absent on furlough, and were going back in a week.
We left them talking about taking us up

The Rebel Movements
The St. Louis Republican, of December 3, says :
The most probable intelligence of Gen, Price's
future imovementa comes from a scout who arrived
at Rolla on Saturday, bringing the information that
the van of the rebel army was, a few days ago, at
three points in Cedar and Vernon counties, march
ing north. It is stated that it is Priee:c purpeze to
cross the Kansas line somewhere in bates county,
with the view, we presume, of reappearing in Mis
souri at or below St. Joseph. It has leaked out
that one of the plane of the Secessionists is to de=
strop the ilannitail and St. Joseph Railroad, with
the hope of holding the western part of the State
during the winter, and subsisting upon the property
of the Union citizens; and appearances would seem
to uphold this idea as to the protrarame to be
acted upon. The western counties are now swarm

parently exists in the work of gathering men, under
the excitement incident to such proceedings as our
Columns have recently noted. But the Federal
authorities, meanwhile, are neither mindless of
this sudden breaking out of the rebellion in a new
quarter, nor idle in reference to the remedies that
it suggests, and we have every confidence that the
Seeneeton cehenies will be soon elfeetuaiirtitwarted.
The reports mention only about fifteen thousand
men in the three divisions moving northward under
Generals Price, Rains, and Mcßride. Colonel
Clarkson is said to have started in tbg gime diroc

but we do not regard it as probable that this force,
which cannot exceed five or ten thousand, will
abandon the Southwest altogether, or follow the

THE WAR IN KENTUCKY.
The Aspect of the Campaign
The following letter has been received by a pro
minent merchant of this city from a well-informed
gentleman in Kentucky :
P..cumorfv, December 1 1801.
The work of consolidation of fractional parts of
regiments is still in progress in Kentucky. As a
matter of course, iteada are falling, as the larger
absorbs the smaller. Quito a number of patriotic
gentlemen, ready to serve their country in high
position, have been compelled to again call them
ethes "citizen," Recruiting is suspended, as
Kentucky has furnished more than her quota. No
more enlistments will be made. unless ordered by
the War Department.
Tills month will "make history" in Kentucky,
if one can judge in the least by the movements
now making. A heavy column is being concentra
ted at Columbia, Adair county, under Cieneral
Thomas, from fifteen to twenty thousand stream
which will flank Bnckner'a right. A like column,
under General Thomas L. Crittenden, is about ready
to move upon his left, while a very powerful army
is in his fraut, midge aanoial McCook. If Buck
ner is not overpowered, driven back, and Nashville
taken, the fates will be against us.
Pennsylvania, with Negley's splendid brigade,
(I say splendid, because our mutual friend, TitOmP 4
son Bataan, of this place, saw them in Lowisville,)
Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, are combined and
linked together in this enmpnign to drive the
invader out. With the exception of four regiments
at London to take charge of Zollicoffer, who, by
the way, is superseded by General George T.
Crittenden, son, of John J. and own brother of our
General Thomas L., every Kentuck,y regiment, as
soon as organized, is ordered for this column.
Then, there is no doubt about a simultaneous

with might and right on our side, we cannot fail
to win.
bare neglected to mention in my former letters
that your friend Mark Mundy has been some time

Our Lea -Isla-Lure is a l pha in sossian, eAd to the

By the way, did you ever hear of such a misera

held in this State? It organized a Provisional State
Government, and elected G. W. Johnson, of
Georgetown, Scott county, Governor, And attnehed
itself to the Southern Confederacy.

the thing in a summary manner.

avails was sa jubilant iindei the iMpression that be
had finally bagged the great thief that he could
not repress his great enthusiasm. He declared in
advance that his plans were perfectly adapted to
the darling object he had in contemplation, and
nothing remained to be done except the execution
of his orders by his brigadiers. These statements
are made by persons who have no interest in or
partiality for either of the generals in that depart
meat, and while some of them do net hesitate to say
that the Plans were defeated through the inspira
tion of military jealousy, others state the facts, and
invite those to whom they detail them to draw their
own inferences. The public no doubt discerned
some time age that same of the gaussal, were cell
tending for a major generalship, and it would seem
that this mischievous ambition was the cause of the
failure of the plans of General Rosecrans. We. have
Wellent prisons for believing that a court of in.

may be blameable for the escape of Floyd, it will
not be found to be the commander of the depart

We learn by a letter received last evening

Regiment, and a mucti larger number of Moooasin
Rangers. Captain Simpson's men were in a house
getting aarnatidns to eat, and the house was sur
rounded by the Moccasins, who demanded a sur
render. Captain Simpson declined, and a fight en
sued. Some eight or ten of the Moccasins wore
killed, and they were driven back into the wooda.
Amor; the number killed of the Moccasins is the
notorious Pat Connolly, who has boasted of having
in his possession thirty-one scalps of Union men.
The fight lasted about one hour.
