The Skirmish nt Sacramento.
The Louisville Democrat of the 3d lust. says :
We had an interview with a gentleman just from
Col. Jackson's camp at Calhoun, and from him we
learned the following full particulars of the en
gagement or skirmish at Sacramento last Saturday :
On Friday evening, December 27th, a messenger
arrived in camp, who reported to Col. Jackson that
a party of 80 rebels were in South Carrollton. A
force of 360 cavalry was sont out under Majors Mc
gowan and Murray. This force left Capcuu at nine
o'clock on Friday night, and arrived is South Car
rollton on Saturday morning, when they found no
rebels, nor any evidence that they had boon there ;
neither could they hear of any in that vicinity. On
their way back to the camp this force was divided,
Major Megowan, with 200 men, striking off in a
southerly or southwesterly direction, to reconnoitre,
in preparation for an advance movement towards
Ilopkinsville, and the remainer of the force, (1.60
men.) under Major Murray, returning to Calhoun
via Sacramento.
CLOAKS I
When in the vicinity of Sacramento the rear was
attacked by a force of about seventy rebels. They
turned, and, as well as the road would permit,
charged upon them, driving the rebels before them
till they were drawn into a akilfully.laid ambush
of 700 men, under Colonel Forrest. The attack
was made from both sides of the road, and for
fifteen minutes the battle raged with great fierce
ness. Major Murray then gathered his force to
gether, and retreated through Sacramento. As
they 'passed through the town several of the citi
zens fired on them from the houses. Major Mur
ray's loss was 9 killed, including Captain A. G.
Bacon • 9 wounded, who were taken book to pamp,
Iti_missizursummzed to be takea priclenaza
- among them two wounded - -uaytam--navis anti
Lieutenant Walters—Captain D.'s wound supposed
to, be mortal. Total killed and prisoners, 25 ;
wounded, 9. The loss in killed on the part of the
rebels was admitted by them at Greenville to be
30 ; number of wounded not known.
. .
On Major Murray's return to camp, Saturday
evening, Col. Jackson, with a squad of oavalrY and
about four hundred infantry, started in pursuit,
but on arriving at Sacramento, learned that Col.
Forrest, with his entiro command, had retreated to
Greenville. At Sacramento Col. Jackson took cap
tive nine of the citizens who were engaged in shoot
ing his mon from the houses, among them -
Lucas, sheriff of McLean county, a very violent
rebel, who had absconded into the rebel army with
all the county revenue in his possession.
A negro, formerly the property of a Mr. Wing,
and endorsed by him as a truthful fellow, who had
been in Greenville, stated that the rebel force under
Col. Forrest was but 552, but the citizens of Sacra
mento.and Greenville state that there wore fully
790 of them. At Greenville, Col. Forrest admitted
his loss to have been 30 killed, including a Captain
Meriwether.
We oonsider the skirmish ns a drawn battle ; our
forces numbered 160, the rebels nearly five times as
many; our killed was nine, theirs thirty; our
wounded (total) eleven, theirs unknown; and two
of our wounded, as well as one of the killed, (Capt.
Bacon.) were shot by the citizens of Sacramento—
not by Col. Forrest's mon. Our forces retreated;
so did theirs.
Major Murray's men say if they had been pro
perly armed they would have gained the victory in
spite of fearful odds against them. Tho only arms
they had were sabre and one revolver to each man.
The revolvers are reported as being worthless
French arms, with a very chart barrel, and imper
fect to such an extent that on return to camp many
were found that bad their loads still in, the cap
which is attached to the cartridge not having ex
ploded at all. In fact, so miserable were they,
that many of the men threw them away, declaring
themselves better off with only their sabres than
with such unreliable arms.

GENERAL WALLACE'S EXPEDITRIN-HIS RUMORED

TIIE NEW ORLEANS "TIGERS "-TWO OF TILE3r
ENECUTED-THE SURVIVORS CUT THE THROATS OF
THE OFFICER OF TUE DAY AND THE OFFICER OF
THE GUARD THESE ARE REVOLUTIONARY
TINES," ETC., ETC.
[Special Correspondence of Cincinnati Times.]
Decombor 30,1801.
- -
On Saturday night (28th), about midnight, Gene
ral Wallace took ,ith him some four hundred
mounted men, and proceeded on a reconnoissance
in the direction of Mayfield. The country south of
this post has been, for a week past, infested with
marauding parties of rebels, who have been com
mitting all manner of outrages on Union men, and
arresting refugees from Tennessee who attempt to
make their way through to escape impressment.
To-day a courier arrived here, who (as the ac
count reaches me) reports Gen. Wallace surround
ed, but defending himself against large odds, as we
all know Gen. Wallace would. This was near a
place called Viola, about nineteen miles south, et
JO o'clock this forenoon. The order being given, in
just eighteen minutes the Ninth Illinois had girt
their armor on and wore on the march. These,
with part of another regiment and a battery of ar
tillery, proceeded by the turnpike. Four oompa.
nice were despatched soon after by the cars.
What may come of this expedition I cannot tell ;
but will venture to say that if our forces moot with
success, or escape reverse, it will be, as usual, the
result of their superior prowess, and not on account
of the generalship displayed. In this saying Ido
' not mean to reflect injuriously upon Gen. \Vallee°.
Chafing at the inert, do-nothing policy of Gen. O.
F. Smith, who commands this post, which has allow
ed the rebels to keep almost undisputed possession
of the open country around us, General Wallace
earnestly desired to go out and call the freebooters
to account. Why he should have ventured or been
sent so far with so small a force, and without re
serves to follow in his rear, I am not able to explain.
But I am sure of this, that the troops might just as
well have gone out twenty-four hours earlier as not.
The exercise would have been good for their
health, even if their services had not boon needed.
. .
Another version of the street rumors is, that Gen.
Wallace's position is not precarious, hilt that the
reinforcements called for are to enable him to sur
round and capture the rebel force which he has en
countered. In that case, the aid called for is quite
as likely to reach him too late as in the other. Our
troops seem good for nothing but gallant fighting
and hard marching. I thank God, however, that
they aro all A, No.l, gilt-edged at that ; and when,
in the course of time, our officers shall have all been
killed or taken prisoners, men will rise to the com
mand who have judgment, and military genius, and
enterprise, as well as military schooling and
courage.
• I enjoyed the rare felicity, this morning, of look
ing over a copy of the Nashville-Bowling Green-
Louisville Cow ter, of the 26th. I could not se
cure the paper for your use, nor was it worth while,
as below I give you the only paragraph in it worth
your readers' notice. It is chiefly filled with ex
tracts from Northern papers and flash despatches,
so much like those I sent you yesterday, which
filled the columns of the Southernjournals five days
before, that they would have answered just about
as well bed they been the same. -
But, while all the news which is not true finds in
the South so large a circulation, and while matters
of little note aro announced with so great a flourish
of capitals, there lea most extraordinary quietness
in the way some things aro told there. Tho follow
ing paragraph, had the affair happened in General
MeClellan's arm would itself have required at
least two rows of y,
black head lines, in a Northern
roper;_ while the matters to which it refers would
have become the subject of half a dozen exciting
disputes. and twice as many letters.
There is a fierce company among the Louisiana
troops under General Johnston, apposite Washing
ton, who rejoice in the expressive name of " Tigers •'
They are from New Orleans, among the earliest
levies, and are doubtless composed of " the flower
of the_youth " of that city. These Tigers seem
to have committed an outrage recently, no mention
of which I have ever seen m or from a Southern
paper, that I can call to mind. What the nature
of the outrage was, therefore, wo may guess at,
with the whole- field of conjecture open before us.
Two of the Tigers were executed for the outrage,
and, "as a sequel," the officer of the day and
officer of the guard, who were instrumental in the
al rest of the Tigers, were found one morning with
their throats cut.
DUCT OF A LADY
VIRGINIA
PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1.862.
The allusion to these trifling circumstances I find
in a letter of "So De Kay"—C. D. Kirk—dated
"Camp near Centreville, Virginia, December 14,"
and published on the 26th, in the Courier I refer
to. No startling capital head-lines convey the im
pression that Charley's letter contains anything ex
traordinary—no editorial notice—and in view of
these things and its ancient date, I came near giv
ing the letter the go-by, as, probably, containing
only the stale, flat, and unprofitable stuff which is
so often found in letters from the camps on the Po
tomac But remembering that "So De Kay" is
often a teller of contraband news, I wont in, and from
an obscure portion of the text dug out the follow
ing, which I faithfully transcribe :
"As a sequel to the execution of the two Ti
gers,' by order of court martial, I have to record
that yesterday morning two officers of the Seventh
Louisiana regiment were found with their throats
cut. 'They wore the officer of the day and officer
of the guard, at the time of the commission of the
outrage by the Tigers,' and were instrumental in
bringing them to punishment. It would. be welt
could the whole company be effaced for this new
and most horrible villainy."
"These aro revolutionary times," Mr. Kirk, and
that accounts for all these little deeds of lawless
violence. I have, or had, a venerable friend in
Nashville, where I was brought up. Ile was a
kind-hearted man, and a man of intellect. lie re

thought of me more highly than he ought. The
revolution cams, and as it swept away in its career
all the laws of common decency, common sense, and
natural right, I found daily more and more reason
to sot my face against it and its enormities.
Had I been what wo used to call a Disunionist
per se, I felt that the cause was blackened and
made infamous by the wicked riot run by those
who defied the vengeance of Heaven in the name
of revolution. The air was filled with falsehood,
and no man dare tell the truth. Theft had become
a duty. The mails were robbed by those who had
sworn to keep them sacred. The Constitution and
laws wore trampled upon by those sworn to sup
port end defend them. Mad violence was com
mitted and instigated by the sworn conservators of
the public peace.
Tyranny and oppression stalked abroad in the
land in the name of liberty; and the timid and un
protected were hurrying away to loyal States, often
leaving their all behind them, or cowering in ab
ject submission to wrongs, of which they dare not
complain. And some were forced to "run with
frantic cheers beforo the Chariot whose triumphant
march celebrated their own humiliation." To
these things ii demurred. I was not content.
murmured and complained. At length I spoke
out, and even had the temerity to denounce and
defy the mad spirit of the insurrection through the
public prints, and to call upon my fellow-citizens
to resist it, and stand up still for " the Constitution
of our country, the Union of' the States, and the
enforcement of the laws." This was Ilan !Terms !
My old iriend was amazed, but when a few days
had elapsed, and I still lived, ho came to see Mo.

" Then I am opposed to revolution"—and my old

And this was the lesson taught to the young
throughoutthe South, by the old and gray-headed,
by the public journals, by the ministers at the sa
cred desk, in the schools, and by the rosy lips of
tender maidens to their lovers. " Violate the laws,
for these are revolutionary times." The young
Tigers of Now Orleans were educated in thissehool.
They were armed and sent forth to murder. Yes,
to murder their fellow-men, because these are re
volutionary times.
They were sent forth to kill the loyal, those who
obey and keep tho laws. Every loyal soldier slain
in this unrighteous and causeless revolution is mur

upon and cut the throatsof two of theirfollow-mur

were sent forth to do. What if there was a law,
Charley, against cutting these two officers' throats
—"these aro revolutionary times." They did it in

ENEROY AND GENRRALSIIIP—KENTUCKY TO BE
AGAIN TUE DARN AND BLOODY GROUND.
[Correspontlenco of the Chicago Times.]
BI:NTON BARRACKS,
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 1, 1802.
A rumor is rife in camp to-clay that an order has
been given for a large number of troops now here
to move to Kentucky, in the vicinity of Louisville.
I am inclined to credit it, as appearances now in
dicate that we shall not need the full amount of
troops there aro in this State to drive out the Seces
sionists and restore law and order again.
Under the vigorous but prudent management of
General Halleek, the power of Price for mischief
has been effectually broken, and, however strongly
the sympathies of the citizens of Missouri May in
cline towards the South, their interests will preclude
any further manifestation of them in actspf open
hostility. They know now that the cause of the
Union, not only in Missouri, but throughout the
entire country, is in the ascendant, and they are
content to watch and 1 ope for hours that they are
fearful may never come, before compromising them
selves by openly joining the rebels.
Ilow much of a force secession may raise in
Arkansas and Texas, we of course cannot determine
with any degree of accuracy. Wo do know that
the energy shown by Price and McCulloch, and
the amount of men they have raised and com
manded, have boon a matter of astonishment to the
entire North ; and, not withstanding the half column
of Prenticeana with which the Louisville Journal
intended to kill Price and his military aspirations,
there has not boon a more busy, meddling, fighting,
mischievous, ugly and sagacious devil in either
army than lie. Ho has had under him all kinds of
men and boys, from four score down to fourteen—
all kinds of weapons, from pistols to pitchforks—
infantry without drill, clothing or arms—cavalry
mounted on stallions, geldings, mares, mules and
jackasses—with air for food, and the naked earth
for a tent; and yet his industry and generalship
hove given him control of more than half the State,
and enabled him, until within the past few weeks,
to hold at bay all his oppononts and maintain his
position. What ho may do in Southern Missouri
and Arkansas, by way of recruiting and making
head again, we have yot to see; but wo have good
reason to suppose that every available man in
Arkansas and Texas will be used either for home
defence or sent to Kentucky.
It requires no military skill to perceive that if
Secessionism is crushed east of the Mississippi, it
will die a natural death west of it. If we can got
Missouri quiet and safe once more, the territory
south and west of it is of but little importance, for
it will take care of itself, as the conviction forces
itself on the minds of the people that east of the
Father of Waters their cause is gone and their hope
fled forever. We got into the vitals of rebellion in
Kentucky and Carolina, and every blow struck
there is aimed at the heart ; but it is a heart of
stone in its firm and unrelenting hatred, and the
blows must fall heavy, long, and fast before it is
broken. So lot them fall, but, by every considera
tion that is holy, let them be given for and in the
name of the Constitution and laws of our country.
Kentucky is to be once more tho dark and bloody
ground. There Louisiana, Mississippi, and Ten
nessee will send their sons to keep the war back
from their borders, believing in and noting upon
the old adage that it , is better to fight for the
threshold than the hearthstone. I verily believe that
the conflict there is to be desperate, and that we
have need to husband our strength and resources
before entering upon it. If this be done, there can
be little doubt of the result, for though the South
erners may fight, like bravo men, long and well.
yet God will favor the righteous cause and the
strong battalions. I have a great deal of faith in
these lest, if they are well drilled and officered.
An Incident of the War in Missouri.
[Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune.'
SALINA, Kan., Doe. 11.
A men named C—e lived in Missouri, about
fifty miles from the Kansas border. His family,
originally from the South, had settled long ago in
southwest Missouri. When the war broke out his
two brothers joined the Secession army, and they
had urged him to do so too. He was true to the
Union. Hesitating, and with the ties of kindred to
distract him, ho remained a passive witness of events
until all the man that was in him at length induced
him to take his place in the great struggle. A few
days after, his youngest brother rode up to his
house. At the time he was out of his wagon, and
lied been practicing with his rifle at a mark. and
had just loaded. The younger brother said :
"I'm glad you're thinking about your gun. You
had bettor join a company."
"I have done so," was the calm reply.
"Indeed," was the surprised reply. " Whose?"
"Captain —," naming the captain of n com
pany of Home Guards that had been rased in that
count.
"A y , that's what you aro at, is it ?" cried the
younger brother, and, dressing a Colt's navy, he
continued, "I've got something for you," and
fired.
'lho ball lodged in the breast of the older
brother, who staggered and fell with the violence
or suddenness of the shock. Recovering himself
immediately, he got on his knees, and, seizing his
rifle, pointed it at his murderous brother, who
turned and fled, but a rifle ball in his spine ar
rested the course of
. the rebel forever.
The family of thrUnion man gathered a few of
their °lnds hurriedly, and fled with him in a
wagon. They are now in Kansas, and he, though
severely wounded, is eh:m.ly recovering.
Price's Retreat
The St. Louis correspondent of the New York
1Tro:lel says:
The principal topic of local interest is, of course,
the undeniable retreat of Price towards the Arkan
sas line. Me has really betaken himself, bag and
baggage, minus what Gen. Pope secured, out of our
way. lie is no longer near our lines to threaten
us, be it ever so little. One of two things he saw
clearly before him—au advance or a retreat. lie
had fondly contemplated the former, but the Fates
ordained otherwise. The unschooled warrior had
laid his plans for an unchecked advance on Lex
ington, thence through Northern Missouri to St.
OharltA and St. Louis. Subsequent revelations
show that a gigantic scheme had been in operation
in Northern Missouri among the disaffooted citizens,
to burn, destroy and lay waste the country and
railroaowhereby our troops were to be transported
to ebecli him.
The principal agency in this great work of mur•
tier and arson is, it appears, a secret society. simi
larly constituted to the Knights of the Golden
Circle. These lodges have been long known to
oxist, and the members were known to each other
by signs, grips, and passwords. Later, however,
they had progressed so far as to afford a printed
constitution, a copy of which is before mo. All
the paraphernalia, oaths, and mummery of this
black masonry aro aimed at ono thing—the aiding
of the rebellion and the overthrowing of the Fede
ral rule in the State. On this work there is reason to
believe Price has in great part relied. It is main
ly the prompting and suggestion of ono Deacon
Tucker, who is now under an indictment for trea
son. This sinister plotter has a long head, but his
ears are collaterally long; and as soon as the sol
dier, Price, forsakes his trusty sword for the jug
glery of this canting rascal, so soon is he betrayed
and ruined. One end of this nice soheno was unex
pectedly interrupted by the masterly activity of
Pape John of the West,
Price's advance towards Lexington was uncouth
ly and effectually spoiled. His storeshad been col
lected 2 lila mon were recruiting all over the State,
and the rendezvous agreed upon. The secret
lenguo in Northern Missouri was to destroy the
railroads and telegraphs, Price was to cross the
river at Lexington, make a triumphant advance
down the north shore of tho river, and enter the
city of St. Louis with banners and colors flying.
Either the time had some for the latter, or hearing
of the disaster to their cause, the sympathizers
gave the signal to commence their work of de
struction, and, in less than a week, about a hundred
and fifty miles of railroad were rendered useless.
Large bodies of men have boon sent up the road to
repair and guard it, and, strange to say, not a rebel
is to be found anywhere; they aro all "good Union
men," and affirm that all their neighbors aro also.
It will take aoruo trouble and force to keep these
roads from the destroying hands of them secret
intriguers.
A general order waspromptly issued, reeking the
penalty death to the guilty parties, but it remains
to be seen NV hother Gen. Ilalleck dare publioly carry
this order into execution. A similar threat of ven
geance was once made by Gon. Fremont, but not a
single rebel 19118, we believe, shot under its provi
sions. Some six persons, who aro accused with
participating in this work of tr , ;, - ,ison at Quincy,
over whose cases a coult-Inartial is in session, wo
shall son sac the tester this matter.
RALLECK HOLDS OFF
The execution of the levy on Secessionists in St.
Louis has, wo are informed, been suspended. Out
of the list of sixty who wore booked for a forced
contribution for the benefit of the refugees from
the Southwest twenty-five have signed a lengthy
protest against its execution, drawn up by Judge
Wright, in which there is an unusual parade of
law and Constitution. General liallook is too good
a lawyer and too much a soldier to bla at
fault in this matter. It is not probable his
action was based upon any civil law whatever, and
if it was intended to be anything more than a mere
flourish of the rod of military jostles : was uncloubt.
edly based upon his judgment as a military neces
sity. The sum of ten thousand dollars is not so
large that we can afford to transcend one of the
fundamental guarantees of our Constitution. Gen.
Halleck therefore wisely waives. the execution of
his order No. 24.
AFFAIRS AT COLVMMIS
By the arrival of a steamboat man, whose name
I suppress, from Columbus, we are in possession of
some interesting facts from that point. Ile has a
wife and family at Carondelet, and at the breaking
out of the insurrection was running on a steamboat
on the Red river. Like many others, ho was
nimble. to leave while it was still safe, and conse
quently had to fall in with the powerful party. He
confirms the statement of so many others that there
is still a considerable but helpless Union element
in the South. It may be distinguished now and
then by the confidential and suppressed conversa
tion of the more intelligent men of the South.
He gives a pitiable description of the state of
affairs at the Soutn. First, there is hardly any
other medium of currency than Confederate trea
sury notes. Those notes are a legal tender, and,
singularly enough, a suspicion attaches to any man
who refuses to take them. The scarcity of small
change produces the most inexplicable confusion,
as a man will hardly part with silver for this worth
less trash. There is, therefore, the fear of being
branded as a traitor continually present in refusing
ono of these' bills. None but well-known mon can
refuse them with impunity on the
. ground of a
want of change. The rate of premium, when it
can be found, is fifty per cent.
Capt. was near Union City at the Belmont
fight. Hie boat was brought up to the field to carry
the wounded soldiers to Memphis. lie affirms that
on going over the Gold there could not have been less
than live hundred of our men killed and wounded
on the ground, and probably eight hundred of the
rebels.
Columbus, he says, is very strongly fortified. He
supposes that there aro already more than a hun
dred guns in battery, and more arriving. The can
non are mostly of heavy calibre. Trees have been
felled aoroes the approaches, and he expresses fears
that we shall not be able to take it without groat
loss of life 4 . is fair to say that his opinions are
only valuable in proportion to his military knon ,
jeago.°film nt th;net
upon which are mounted setae lined guns, hut
they are not formidable. My informant, anxious
to see his family, conceived the plan of crossing to
the Missouri shore, above New Madrid, and thence
making his way through the swamps to the Missis
sippi, above Cairo, which he successfully accom
plished, crossing over to Illinois. and, after much
delay, got on board the St. Louis packet, reaching
this city on Friday last, happy to bo finally released
from a despotism which has galled him for mantles.
A Yankee Trick in Missouri.
The following is told of Major Hovey, of the
Twenty-fourth Indiana, in connection with General
Pope's recent exploits in Missouri :
While at some point near Clinton, Major Hovey
took 100 men, put them in wagons, so as to hide
them from view, and then putting a few stragglers
to walk, as if guarding the train, he started out.
Secession, shot-gun in hand, hiding in the brush,
saw the cortege, end supposed it a Federal wagon
train, poorly guarded, and hence an easy as well as
legitimate prize. Reasoning thus, Secession walked
from the brush, presented its shot-gun, anti demand
ed a surrender, which demand was instantly mat
by fifty men rising from the wagons, present
ing a row of glittering muskets, and request
ing a similar favor of astonished and now mortified
Secession. Secession generally complied, and
worked oft all its ill-humor by cursing such "mean
Yankee tricks," unknown to all honorable war
fare, and unworthy of chivalrous hearts. In this
way many a petulant rebel was confounded, and
in two cases, where fight Was preferred rather than
surrender, two rebel sons of chivalry bit the dust
from the effects of minie bullets, which left canis
ter-like auger-holes clear through their heads.
Before his return, Major Vevey captured a largo
number of prisoners, and burnt one mill which was
grinding for Price.
Attempt to Capture and Burn the Steamer
City of Alton—Heroic Conduct of a
Lady.
(From the St. Louis Republican, Dee.3l..]
On Sunday afternoon the mail steamer City of
Alton, Capt. Barnes, came near falling into . the
hands of Jeff Thompson and his men at Commerce.
The circumstances, as related to us, are as follows :
As the boat neared the landing at Commerce, a
lady was seen on the bank gesticulating wildly, and
shouting to those on board the boat "to keep back,
keep. back! don't land; the secesh will shoot
you!" But before she could bo distinctly under
stood the boat had approached close in shore, and
the gang plank had been run out, so that it nearly
touched the levee. At this instant a crowd of
Jeff Thompson's band rushed forward from their
concealment, and commenced firing with muskets
to bring clown the pilot. The bullets fell thick and
fast, hitting the smoke stook and upper works in sun
dry places, but the pilot had by this time rang the
bell to " back," and the boat put down the river,
some two miles, to the plantation of a loyal French
man, where they procured arras in sufficient quan
tity to make a formidable resistance ; and, having
barricaded the wheel-house and the exposed points
below, the Altars moved bank up the river again
with colors flying. On her approach the second
time the Streak took to their heels, leaving the
landing of the boat uncontested. Commodore Por
ter, who was on board, took charge of the arrange
ments for defence, and things were speedily put ha
condition for vigorous action.
Jeff Thompson told the people who were standing
on the bank shivering with the cold, as the boat
was coming round the bend on tier first approach,
that he would soon make a fire that would warm
them all. Ho had made preparations and intended
to burn the boat, after having taken from her all
articles of most value to his gang of desperadoes
and thieves, and would undoubtedly have suc
ceeded in his designs but for the heroin lady above
referred to—Mrs. Eversoll. The would-bo incen
diaries endeavored to stop her from warning off the
boat, but being something of an Amazon, she cast
from her, right and loft, the half-starved and shiv
ering followers of Jell as though they were
children; and when they threatened to shoot
her she defied them to do it. After the boat
had backed out, in accordance with her timely
warning, Brigadier General Jeff approached her,
menacingly, filled with rage, when she coolly in
formed his excellency that he was a dirty cut
throat, and his men were a band of thieves and
murderers, and if they would come one at a time
sho would take the contract of whipping every
mother's son of them. "You know:' said she,
that you are all cowards, and that if that boat
comes beak with half a dozen muskets you and
your cowardly dogs will all take to your heels."
Anotheidady, a Mrs. Hawkins, gallantly seconded
Mrs. Eversoll, and to them belongs chiefly the
'credit of saving the boat. The day of heroines is
not past.
Tho Afton arrived safely in this city at a late
hour last night. Captain Barnes should take warn
ing by this incident, and bo prepared in future for
any similar demonstration.
NEWS FROM THE SOUTH.
Letter from Parson Brownlow.
We copy from the Nashville Patriot the follow
ing characteristic letter from Parson Brownian . :
Knoxvithz JAIL, Deo. 20, 1861.
In your issue of the lith inst. you say : "Wo
learn that W. G. Brownlow, imprisoned at Knox
ville, refuses to oat anything, desiring to starve
himself to death."
I have no doubt, Mr. Editor, that you have
learned such a thing, buf it is wonderful intelli
gence. And. but for the fact that I do not wish to
be understood as trying to commit suicide, I would
not care to correct the erroneous statement. The
truth in my case is, that I have now been in jail
two weeks, and I have eaten too much every day,
my family, with the permission of Brigadier Gene
ral Carroll, furnishing me with three meals a day.
But for taking cold, and suffering from a sore
throat, I could boost of usual health. As it is, I
claim to be the mostcheerful of more than one hun
dred prisoners I found here on my arrival.
But, sir, I will now give you an additiOnal item
or so, which many of your readers will peruse with
interest, if you are allowed to publish them. I left
home about the sth of November, with a view to
collect some claims due my office for advertising,
apd to relieve the fears of my family, who wore
daily annoyed with the calls of drunken soldiers,
bawling before my house, and flourishing their side
knives and pistols, and making throats of violence.
On the Slit of December ; I received a brief letter
from Major General Crittenden, inviting mo to his
headvarters in Knoxville, promising me passports
into Itentucky, and a military escort to conduct me
safe. At„the same time, I was furnished with the
copy of a )otter to the major general from J. P.
penjamin, Secretary of War, advising him to give
me passports and a safe conduct beyond the Con
federate lines.
Supposing the head of the War Department and
the Major General commanding here to be acting in
good faith, I reported myself in person and ac
cepted the offer of passports. I agreed to start on
Saturday, and the General designated Capt. Gil
lespie's company of cavalry for an escort.
Dut,on Friday evening, just before sundown, I
was arrested for treason, founded on certain edi
torials in the Knoxville Whig since Juno last, the
warrant being signed by Commissioner Reynolds
and Attorney Ramsey. I am, therefore, in jail—in
close confinement—perfectly contented and making
no complaints against any one. lam waiting pa
tiently to see which is the highest power—the War
Department at Richmond, associated with the
Major General in command here, or the Com
missioners' Court for Knoxville. Nay, I am
anxious to know whether the high authorities in
viting me hero were acting in good faith. or wore
only playing off a trick to have me incarcerated. I
am not willing to believe that the representatives of
a great Government, struggling for its indepen
dence, and having in charge the interests of twelve
millions of people, intend to act in bad faith to me.
The chivalroue people of the South and all the
journals have denounced the high-handed measures
of the United States Government in suspending the
habeas corpus act, suppressing public journals, and
incarcerating citizens upon jetties de cachet, and I
will not allow myself to believe that the Confede
rate Government will resort to similar tricks.
I am, sir, very respectfully, itc.,

Old Dick, the Drummer.
A Richmond paper says : A fow days ago, Dick,
a venerable darkey . in uniform, was arrested for
carrying a huge bowie-knife. lie was on his return
home, to Danville, from a campaign against the
Yankees ' and the Mayor discharged, him, after con
fiseating the knife,
The person referred to has occupied the positiod
of chief drummer for the Eighteenth Virginia Regi
ment for the last eight months, and is highly es
teemed by the regiment, not only as a musician,
but as a bravo and gallant old man. Be is a hero
of two wars, and in several instances has rendered
good service to the country. When the war with
Mexico broke out, be enlisted as musician for a
South Carolina regiment, and followed it through
the war, and was present when tho glorious General
Butler fell. Tho war being successfully terminated,
he returned home to his usual avocations. Upon
the breaking out of our present war, though old and
gray, he was among the first to respond to Vir
ginia's call for volunteers, and was regularly mus
tered into service with the Eighteenth regiment.
Bunco that time he has not only carried his drum,
but also the bowie-knife referred to above, and a
musket.
In the memorable battle of the 21st July, ho de
serted his drum, and, with musket in hand, fol
lowed the regiment throughout the battle. Several
days after the battle, while strolling through the
woods, ho discovered the hiding-place of what ho
thought a Yankee, and, on reporting it, went down
with several of the regiment and captured three of
the creatures—one of them Col. Wood, of the Four
teenth Brooklyn. In every scene of danger or of
difficulty, old Dick has accompanied the regiment
with bowie•linife by his side and musket in hand.
When on picket duty at Mason's Hill, in eight of
the enemy, ho would go beyond the picket lines to
get a fair crack at the Yankee pickets. In fine,
old Dick, we believe, is a gentleman and true pa
triot, and we feel sorry that, his knife, around
which clung so many proud associations to him,
should have been taken from him. Ire valued it
above all things except his musket. It is true the
law may have required its confiscation, as setting a
bad example to darkeys in civil life ; brat, under
the circumstances, it does seem hard to have sub
jected the old man not only to the loss of his bowie
knife, but the mortification attendant, of a suspi
cion of evil designs. We hope old Dick may live
to prove his character still further by rigging his
Yankee.
The Confederate Bonds—A Query for
Financiers.
[From the Eichnioral Examiner, Jan. 21
Mr. Memminger's extraordinary financial scheme
of paying interest on Confederate bonds with specie
bought at forty or fifty per cont. premium, has been
made the subject of ridicule by Mr. Seward, and
has extorted a terse laugh front Lord Lyons.
The singularity of the proceeding is heightened by
the naive advertisement of it in the newspapolp.
Next to Mr. Memminger's attempt to extract
revenues from a tariff on imaginary in:porta
l:one, this one to keep up the public credit by
paying an eight per cont. interest with specie cost
ing a hundred and fifty cents, reflects much honor
on Mr. Memminger's financial skill and sagacity.
If holders of Confederate bonds were to be found
anywhere else than within the limits of the Confe
derate States there would be some propriety in pay
ing tbo_ interest duo to them in finds but-as
the holders of these debentures all reside
Giminfinest_ef Ihe Qenfederaey, and all
atm use ins currency or tee trey
banks just as advantageously as the great body of
other people, the scheme of paying specie smacks
of what our intelligent Washington correspondent
aptly characterizes as "charlatanry." If the same
holders of Confederate bonds who are paid this
specie, bought at forty or fifty per cent. premium,
bad been inclined to make additional investments
in these securities, this piece of prudery and affecta
tion would surely deter them from the purpose.
When a Governnzent consents to depreciate sec
own obligations so far as to pay three for two in
exchange for money no more valuable, and that
without necessity, in a mere freak of financial
dillettantism, its fiscal officers must not be as

MISCELLANEOUS WAR NEWS.
A Fight in Western Virginia
CINCINNATI, Jan. O.—A special despatch to the
Gazette, from Huttonville, Western Virginia,
stating that the expedition, consisting of 400 of the
Twentyfifth Ohio, 300 of the Second Virginia, and
40 of Bradshaw's Cavalry, sent out by Gen. Muirey
to attack Ifuntersville, was completely successful.
They attacked the enemy on Saturday morning,
consisting of 400 cax airy and 350 militia, and, after
skirmishing en hour, the enemy retreated, with the
loss of eight killed and wounded.
On our side none were killed or wounded ; $OO,OOO
worth of army stores and clothing were captured
and destroyed.
iionacorathic Physicians Exchange of
Prisoners
WA , IIINGTON, Jan. is said that the intro
duction of the Ifoinceopathic practice of Medicine
has raised somewhat of a commotion among many
of the regular surgeons of the army.
Commissioner Dole will soon leave for the West
on business of importance with the Indian tribes.
Llt stems that a definite, though informal, mode
for tho exchange of prisoners has been settled upon.
The prompt reciprocation by the Southern authori
ties will soon be followed by our Government, in
forwarding another large party for a similar corres
ponding return.
Contradiction of a Sensation Report.
J. 6.—The painful rumors in
regard to the arrest of a prominent military officer
of the Government, for treason, is without the
shadow of foundation in fact.
Some matters of importance, in the shape of a
correspondence, have boon discovered in connec
tion with parties entirely different from the °Moor
named in the 'Tams now current. AU the parties
implicated are now under arrest.
This city is full of Southern sympathizers, or
spies, in high social positions, and the time has ar
rived when they must bo rigorously dealt with.
No News front Fortress Monroe
BALTIMOItt, Jan. 6.—The Old Point boat has ar
rived, but brings no news of interest either from
the Fortress or the Southern States.
Arrival of a Prize at New York.
Nuw Tone, Jan. G.—Tho prize schooner IV. IL
-Northrup, formerly a Caarleston pilot boat, ar
rived here this morning, having been captured by
the gunboat Fernandina while trying to run the
blockade at Wilmington, N. C., with a cargo of
coffee and quinino.
The United States Flag at Havana.
The statement that, at the recent reception of
General Prim, at Havana, the flag of the Southern
Confederacy was allowed to wave between the flags
of England and France, is incorrect. It was hoisted
between those lingo, but the authorities ordered it
to be taken down. and the Spanish flag hoisted in
its place. Our authority is a gentleman who was
present on the occasion.—Boston Traveller.
Our Difficulties with Englund.
The Washington correspondent of the Now York
herald says:
Whatever may be said to the contrary, we have
the highest assurances that our Government appre
hends no further difficulty growing out of tho San
Jannto affair. The future, as regards Groat
Britain, is looked forward to with more of satisfac
tion than apprehension It is authoritatively rea
soned that the act of Captain Wilkes has been pro
ductive of ono result that must prove beneficial to
the interests of the United States, and that is that
it has culminated the Secession feeling of sympathy
in Greet Britain and throughout Europe, just as
the attack on Fort Sumpter did in this country. It
has made divided parties, and now the Government
is able to distinguish its friends from its foes, and
act accordingly. The United States Government
will, from this act of Captain Wilkes, and the wise
decision of Secretary Seward concerning it, be
enabled to raise a party in Europe in its tavor, as
resolute and influential as any the Secessionists
have succeeded in bringing to bear on the opposite
side.
Public Feeling in Cnnada.
[From the liim,ton (Canada) Chrcintele.]
The Washington correspondents of the New York
papers nro now nil unanimous in the declaration
that the United States Governmenttas determined
to yield everything to the demands of the British
Government rather than incur war with souls a
powerful adversary. The members of the Washing.
ton Cabinet have a little sanity left. They have
sense enough to know that one war at a thus is
quite enough for their capabilities. Moreover,
they seem to be fully convinced that whilst they
themselves are in the weakest condition for a
naval encounter, Great Britain never was stronger
on the seas than she is at present. Great Britain's
commercial interests with the United States aro
less now than they were twelve months ago, and
she would have less to lose in such a conflict than
the United States. 'Shen k - pi her ecertraeree with
TWO CENTS.
•
the Northern States would bo interrupted, a new
and more lucrative trade with the South would at
once spring up. The Southern ports now blockaded
would be opened ; the Northern porta, now free,
Would be rigidly closed, and Southern indepon•
deuce would be gained at once. Such a change in
the great drama which is now going forward, the
men who manage affairs at Washington cars not
to provoke. Their decision is a wise one. The re
sult will bo gladly hailed by every one possessed of
humane considerations, by those who understand
the horrors andealamities of war, and who knowing
them, would seek to avert hostilities and maintain
a peace.
But this news need not thwart the progress of the
volunteer movement in Canada. The concession
is only made on the pressure of circumstances : It
is only because Mr. Seward has become conscious
that England is stra and determined, and that his
own country is weak.''' The restitution of Messrs.
Mason and Slidell will bo ungraciously made, and
the bitterness of the present humiliation - (as doubt
less they consider it) will rankle long in the Ameri
can breast. When the present conditions of rela
tive strength are reversed—if that evil day should
ever come, which Heaven forbid—the Americans
will feel disposed to avenge themselves We have
public proof that this will be the case. They pro
pose to abide their time, and wait for the first
favorable opportunity to wrest Canada from the
British power if they can We. must be prepared
to use all our defensive strength, to treasure up and
increase that strength, ere rho civil war comes to an
end and the Fed , .xal hordes are lot loose for a raid
on Canada.
This affair has kindled a deep feeling between
the people of the two countries, and the relations
of the two Governments will be of a sullen charac
ter for some time to come. The Americans are not
disposed towards Britain in any affectionate spirit.
The New York Times says: "The events of the
past few days have revealed to us a depth of en
mity for which we were hardly prepared on the
pert of the English people, and for which, depend
on it, we shell have a very long memory.° Thus
forewarned, it becomes us to forearm; and in view
of such probabilities we should be careless of our
pwp preservation_ were wo to forego our efforts for
deftngo, Or to relapse Into our old lethargy of fan
cied security.
The Seizure of the Charleston and
nah Railroad by Union Troops.
The Charleston Mercury of a recent date pub
lishes an account of the movements of Union troops
near Port Royal. It states that a large force of
Federal troops had landed on the North Edisto,
and seized railroad station No. 4, on the Charleston
and Savannah Railroad. The name of the station
is not given, but wo presume it is Adams' Run,
Colleton district, twenty-three miles south of
Charleston. It is a village of one hundred and
fifty inhabitants, and contains a church, school
house, ,te.
The despatch alluded to above gives a solution to
the destination of the army and naval expedition
foreshadowed by the Herald correspondent on
board the United States gunboat Mercury, at
Hilton Head, under date of the 30th ult. He says :
" All is quiet throughout tho fleet, with the ex
ception of the preparation attending, the fitting out
of the launches and first and second cutters of the
flag-ship Wabash, and four light draught gunboats,
together with a large number of troops, which are
destined for Bull's Island—probably Edisto Island,
as near as we can calculate. The expedition leaves
here to-morrow at an early hour. The greatest
enthusiasm exists among all engaged in the affair."
The North Edisto river is navigable from Hilton
Head to Adonis' Bun for vessels of light draught.
The seizure of Adams' Run places the Union
troops in possession of an.invaluable stragetical po
sition, as it effectually severs the railroad commu
nication between Charleston and Savannah. The
water communication between Hilton Head and
Adams' Bun is perfect, and practicable for vessels
of light draught.
General Lee, the rebel commander in the Port
Royal district, has informed Jeff Davis that ho is
confident in his ability to prevent the Federals from
advancing on Charleston and Savannah. The seizure
of an important railroad station would seem not to
establish the rebel generalisassortion. In addition
to General Loc, the rebel soldiers are under the
command of Generals Drayton, Do Saussuro, Evans,
and Donelson. Their force is no doubt superior to
the 'Union force. This foot should impress our Go
vernment to send reinforcements to Gen. Sherman
forthwith. The following is a list, giving the names
of a portion of the rebel force now in the vicinity
of Tocotaligo, Beaufort, and adjacent islands :
South Carolina First Artillery, Colonel W. De

Supposed Wreck of an English Transport.
GASPE BAY, Jan. 4.—On Monday last, the shores
of this bay were strewed with half barrels of but
ter, boxes of cheese, and small portions of the cabin
of some wrecked ship
Also, a number of boxes, one of which contained
twenty pairs of Canadian boots of the Ride Brigade,
marked " Australasian ;" one cask of butter,
marked " R. Pennant, Liverpool," and a box cover,
marked " G. Smith."
A portion of the keel with copper attached, and
a portion of the wheel, came ashore yesterday; but
no bodies have yet been discovered. It is supposed
that some vessel has struck on St. Paul's.
The screw steamer Australasian, mentioned in
the above despatch, sailed from Liverpool for
Canada, with troops, ‘4c.,Decemberl3. She passed
Cape Race, December 23.
An English paper informs us that the Australa
sea n had on board 47 officers and 1,085 men, name
ly: Fourth Brigade Royal Artillery: Captain's
Leslie and Toner; Lieutenants Walsh, Walmond,
and Nelson; Assistant Surgeon Harrison; Veteri
nary Surgeon Luny. and 254 non-commissioned
officers and privates. The first battalion of the Ri
fle Brigade Colonel Lord A G. Russell; Majors
Buller, Hon. J. Stuart, and A. J. Nixon ; Captains
Lord E. Clinton, (son of the Duke of Newcastle),
Cunningham, Kingscote, Glyn, Fryer, Whalley,
Playno, Danbury, and Glade; Lieutenants Blun

Lord A. Cecil, Hardy, Smith', Lascelles, Arbuth
not, Cape, Waypole. Tuffnell, and Montgomery ;
Adjutant L. C. Williams; Surgeon Major R. Bo
wen; Assistant Surgeons Williams and Kennedy;
Paymaster Loge. Quartermaster Higgins, and 831
non-commissioned officers and privates. The Aus
tralasian bad also on board , four men of the
Army Hospital Train, two horses, six Armstrong
field guns, nine tons of ammunition for the ord
nance, and 600,000 rounds of Enfield ball car
tridges. Se.
The destination of the Australasian was the
mouth of the St: Lawrence, with instructions to
steam up to the island of Bic, or the Rivie du Loup,
and land the troops and stores- at whichever point
is accessible. Should the prevalence of ice prevent
either point being reached, the vessel was to make
for Halifax, Nova Scotia, or St. John, N. 8., ac
cording to the judgment of the authorities out
there.

seen, is in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, near the
southern side of the entrance to the river St. Law
rence.
Railroads Across the Sierra Nevada
The people of California are much agitated just
now on the subject of railroads, there being three
rival routes intersecting the most productive parts
of the State, and all having,in view the passage of
the bierra Nevada. with a. belief that ultimately
they will constitute branches or termini of the Pa
cific Railroad. These several lines are known as
Big Tree route, which traverses the richest part of
the great San Joaquin valley ; the Placerville route,
which is advocated by the people of Sacramento,
Yoh", and El Dorado counties; and the route by
Ilenness Pass, which engages the attention of
Marysville, <be. The special interest awakened at
the present time arises from an apprehension that
certain parties in the railroad interest may pro
cure, from the Legislature of Nevada Territory, a
monopoly of one of the main arteries leading from
the Sierras, viz : the Truckee river, to which the
various proposed lines converge. The formidable
nature of the difficulties to be overcome in those
projects for crossing the Sierra Nevada by a rail
road—at a height of more than seven thousand feet
above the ocean—appears from the following ex
tract of a recent letter dated at Carson City.
",The pass through which the road crosses the
summit is narrow—not more than thirty feet wide.
On one side the rocks rise perpendicularly save.
ral hundred feet; on the other side the mountain.
rises at an angle of forty-five degrees. Athousand
feet above is perpetual snow. 'The pass is within,
the snow belt, though new the adder bushes aro
green and pretty. The pass is level about 200. feet,
and then descends all the way down to Truckee
river, 105 feet to the mile. On the other side it rises
near the summit 105 feet to the mile. The waters.
that flow into the Yuba, in California, and, those
that flow into the Truckee, in Nevada Territory, are.,
about a good rifle-shot apart. Afterleaving Sacra
mento about twenty.eikbt miles, they strike the
foot hills of the Sierra Nevadas, and. thence for
seventy-three miles to the summit, there is not a
foot of down grade, but all up grade to the summit,
at from 40 to 105 feet to the mile. There will be
two tunnels necessary on the other side, one about
500 feet, and the other about 200 feet, through solid
rock, to get through spurs that jut out like a fish's
back. The cost of constructing the road for the
first thirty-eight miles this side of Sacramento will
be tiventy.fivo or thirty thousand dollars per mile.
The cost at the summit will be. for three miles,
about two million dollars."
Curours.—Eight years ago the wife pf John
Lawboup, of Pink prairie, this county, died, and
was buried in that place. A short time since it
became desirable to take up and remove the re
mains of Mrs. L., and last week Mr. 1). L.Smith,
of this place, was employed to perform the labor.
The grave was opened, and the coffin, which was in
a state of perfect preservation, was removed
but, before depositing it intim new place, it wse
concluded to open it, especially as it appeared ma
commonly heavy. It was, therefore, opened, and
the body of Mrs. L. was found to be perfectly petri
fied ; every part being as full and fair az:on the
day of her burial, eightyears ago. except tie lower
part of the face and the hands, which were par.
tially decayed. ller limbs, breast, and every part,
with the above exceptions. were solid stone, and, as
fair and perfect as when she died. The soil of the
grave was elay, and possessed no peculiarities that
were discernible. This is an. uncommon ease, and,
withal, a curious ono, We get these feats from
