County—Full Particulars of the Battle
of Mount Zion.
The Hannibal (Mo.) Messenger publishes the
following particulars of the battle of Mount Zion.
They were furnished to that journal by a soldier
who was engaged in the battle :
On Monday, December 23, six companies of Col.
Glover's cavalry received marching orders for the
next day, with instructions to take their camp
equipage and four days' rations. On the 2511.1
they started, accompanied by Brigadier General
Prentiss and part of his staff; Colonel Glover,
Major Carsick, and Adjutant White, being in com
mand. They arrived at Sturgeon, on the North
Missouri Railroad, at 7 o'clock of the 28th, and
half frozen—having made a forced march, in the
face of a bitter cold wind, of twenty-eight miles,
twelve of which being unbroken prairie, in loss
than ten hours. On his arrival, Gen: Prentiss re
ceived information of the existence of a camp of
rebels near a meoting.houso known as Mount
Zion, about sixteen miles from Sturgeon.
On the morning of the 27th, he despatched Cap
tain Rowland, of Company A, with forty-six mon
of his command, under the direction of the man
who gave the information, to find the whereabouts
of the rebel encampment. This guide, by the way,
had said that there were but sixty or eighty rebels
at the place spoken of. Captain H , after having
satisfied himself of the location of the rebel camp,
began his march back - to Sturgeon, when, just at
sunset, he came upon the rear guard of the enemy,
who appeared to have prepared themselves to cut
him off on his return. Captain Howland immedi
ately attacked and dispersed the rebels, taking se
ven prisoners, six horses, and nine guns. While he
was engaged in securing his prisoners and horses,
the main body of the enemy, some 450 strong, who
had heard the firing, made an attack on his handful
of men, and after half an hour of desperate fight
ing, succeeded in dispersing them, wounding four—
among them the gallant captain, and taking three
privates and himself prisoners.
Immediately on the receipt of the news of the
fight, brought by those who had esoaped, General
Precision gave orders for .tbe sly companies of caval
ry, and three of Colonel Birge's Sharpshooters, to
be reedy to march for the rebel camp at two o'clock
on the morning of the 28th. Long before the hour
arrird, the men were in the saddle, and eager for
the marsh. We started at the hour, and arrived
near the scene of the last night's fight just after
daylight. Proceeding cautiously over the ground,
we saw just beyond in a lane, the advance guard of
the enemy, about one hundred Strong, oho were
disposed to -dispute our further advance. Lieut.
Yates, of Company B, who led our advance guard,
dismounted his men, and gave the rebels a taste of
bin Sharp's rides. Re had opened fire but a
few moments, when Captain Brad way was ordered
to charge en the enemy with his company. This
he did, and the rebels, who before this had broken,
fled in all directions. Colonel Glover, who, with
two coMpanies of infantry and three of envaly, had
gone across an adjoining field, came up in time to
assist in the pursuit, and captured some twenty of
the rebels. The enemy lost in this encounter four
billed and seven wounded. None of our men were
killed or wounded.
As soon as we had scoured the prisoners, and at
tended to the wounded, Col. Glover ordered Major
Carrick to take one of the prisoners, and a company
of cavalry, and go and find the exact location of
the enemy's camp, while the balance of the mon
were ordered to take a position half a mile in ad
vance of where we had met the rebel advance
guard. The Major took tho prisoners and thirty
men, and soon found the stronghold of the enemy.
Ordering the men to dismount, Major Carrick, with
a bravery and daring worthy of a better fate, at
tacked the enemy, 600 strong. The men fought
well, and never flinched under the terrible fire of
the enemy, until they were ordered to retreat by
the Major. In this attack wo lost three killed and
several wounded, together with ten prisoners.
In the meantime, General Prentiss had ordered
the infantry ; under the command of Colonel Dirge,
to advance under cover of a corn-Iteld, deploying
as skirmishers, and attack the enemy on the north
or rear. while Colonel Glover, with the entire foroo
of cavalry, made an attack on the east and south,
thus almost completely surrounding the enemy
and rendering his capture certain. But, for reasons
unknown to the writer, the sharpshooters failed
to attack from the cornfield and woods, and came
out into tholano immediately in front of Col. Glover.
This deranged the order of battle ; and the conse
quence was that the sharpshooters and cavalry be
came mingled in tho final. charge. Colonel Glover
pressed forward with his men, until a shower of
bullets warned him that it was time to dismount,
as bushwhacking was the order of the day, The
men dismounted, and the battle soon became gene
ral. From the woods, whore the enemy was hidden
from view, came it perfect hail-storm of bullets.
From Mount Zion, where the main body of the
enemy was posted, came a continuous roar of fire
arms.' From the lane, the open field, and the corn
field, the sharp crack of Sharp's rifles blended with
the louder report of the Enfold and Dimmiok. Our
men fought like heroes, and never a maxi of them
flinched. There was not a moment, from the be
ginning of the battle to the end, when the fate of
the day wee undivided.
After the firing had lasted about half an hour,
Colonel Glover gave the order to charge on the
enemy. "Come on, men," said he, " /et as tight
them in their own way—let us bushwhack them."
With a wild cheer the men followed the lead of
their intrepid commander. Springing over the
fence, they wore soon face to Nee with their ene
mies. Our foes largely outnumbered us, and had
the advantage of position; they were brave noon
and fought well. But their bravery and numbots
availed but little against the daring and impetuosity
of our mon.PiAa somas we got into the woods whore
we could see the rebels, our rifles began to toll with
terrible effect on their ranks. Men tellin all three
tions, until the ground was fairly covered with the
dead and wounded. For ten minutes after we en
tered the woods, the enemy held their ground, and
then broke and fled in every direction. We fol
lowed them for three-quarters of a mile beyond the
church, and then gave up the chase. From feat to
lest, the battle lasted about two NUM.
Thus ended one of the most severely contested
and bloody battles that, have been fought in Missouri,
in proportion to the numbers engaged. Our force
consisted of six companies of cavalry, numbering
about three hundred, and parts of three companies
of Colonel Dirge's Sharpshooters—say 150 men.
Thus our whole force did not exceed 450, men and
officers. To this the rebels opposed 700 or 750 men,
nearly all of whom were armed with double-barrel
ed shot guns, making their numbers equal to 1,500
men, If they had fired low, with this immense
superiority, they would have annihilated us. But,
fortunately for us, they fired too high, and most of
their shots paased,over our heads.
Our loss was three killed, three mortally, and
about fifty slightly wounded. The loss of the
enemy, as far as 1 could ascertain, was twenty-one
killed and over one hundred wounded. Forty of
the wounded were loft on the field and in the

told by Dr Brown, who was called to attend the
wounded, that there would but very few of the
forty recover, their wounds being nearly all mortal.
Among the rebels wounded was Major Brookin

battle Adjutant Henderson mane in with a Slag of
truce, and asked the privilege of burying their
dead and attending to their wounded. This was
granted by Gen, Prentiss.
A Rebel Account.
Dr B. IV. Henderson, Surgeon M. 0. a., under
command of Col. Dorsey, sends from Boone county
the rebel account of the battle of Mount Zion, dif
faring in some particulars from the above statement;
greatly overestimating the Federal force and the
loss sustained by them, and underestimating the
number of rebel troops and their toes in the battle.
The loos of the robots, he says, was four killed,
twenty-eight wounded, and twenty-five prisoners.
This is his statement, and the most material point
in the communication. Of the loss sustained by
the Federal forces, he oould know nothing, except
from hearsay.
The enemy were commanded by . Colonel Dorsey,
Lieutenant Colonel Rent, and Mayor Breekinridge.
We took twenty-seven prisoners, one hundred and
five guns, and a large number of horses, blankets,
pow &thorns, and shotbage. After attending to our
wounded, we began to return to Sturgeon, which
we reached at nine o'clock the same night.

Colonels Glover and Birge wore in the thickest of
the fight, and showed themselves worthy of the
trust reposed in them. General Prentiss, of course,
was true to his past record, and that is saying quite
enough for one man. The officers and men felt
that, because ho bad planned the expedition, it
could not foil. There aro many incidents con.

like to narrate, but I have neither time nor room In

Return of Gen. Prentiss and Col. Glover.
Gen. ' Prentiss, accompanied by Col. Glover,
reached headquarters at Palmyra, from his late ex
pedition in Boone county, Friday evening, about S
o'clock, bringing a number of prisoners, horses,
guns, &e. Among the former was John Harlin,
(son of ex-Governor Berlin of Illinois, and a noto

Rebel Camp Routed on Shelby County.
13172iNEW ELL, Jan. 4—A detachment of Col.
Glover's men, 300 in number, came upon a camp
of rebels 280 strong, nine miles north of Dunne

upon and drove in the pickets, when the rebels
broke line, leaving guns and hats along in the
flight.
Glover's men took eight prisoners before they
crossed the railroad, south at the Paris crossing,

A Comedy of Errors—The Two Prices
and the Two Sweemeys.
Tho St. Louis correspondent of the Cinoinnati
Times says:
It is well known that tho conflict in Missouri
has developed, on each side, a General Price—
Sterling Price, the rebel commander, (who, in
view of the resources at his command, has really
accomplished more than any other leader since the
war broke out,) is_ a largo, fine•looking man, and
All ex. Governor of Missouri
Thomas L. Price, our general, (who has just
been elected to Congress from the Jefferson City
district.) is also a man of large, fine, and imposing
oresence, and bears considerable resemblance to
Eris rebel namesake, though, in spite of the news
paper paragraphs which make them brothers or
cousins, there is no relationship w tover between
them. lle, too, is an ex•Governorpf Missouri, and
there are so many analogies between them, that
they are often confounded in the minds of stran
gers.
The Two Sweeneys
So, also, there aro two Captain Sweenoys, be
tween whom the coincidences era even mom stri
king. The Federal officer is T. W. Sweeney, who
was a brigadier general of the three-menthe volun
teers, and is-a captain in the regular army. Ile is
Of Irish descent, and a most gallant fellow; like
most soldiers of Celtic blood, there is an immense
amount of fight in him. At the battle of Wilson
Creek, after Lyon's death, Captain Sweeney was
bitterly opposed toJetreating, and in favor of our
army remaining upon the ground.
The ether officers overruled him, and the army
fell back to Rolla, but subsequent events developed
that Sweeney's policy was right. Had it been fob
lowed, it would have rendered our victory com
plete, without firing another gun. The rebels wore
already falling back from the field, and had given
up the day as lost, when they learned, to their great
surprise, that the Federal army was retreating;
and, afterward, when the coast was clear, they
came bark in high feather, reocoupled Springfield,
and boasted of their glorious victory. Captain
Sweeney lost his right arm in the Mexican War.
The other day, learning that a notorious rebel
captain, also bearing the name of Sweeney, was
among the prisoners recently captured by General
Pope, and now confined in McDowell's College here,
he went up to see him. The interview was a funny
one. Be found that their middle names were the
same ; that they could trace their ancestry back to
the same stock, and that his rebel namesake, like
himself, had lost his right arm. After a pleasant
interview, our Captain Sweeney bade his rebel
namesake adieu, remarking—
" Well, captain, I am sorry to find any man of
my name on the wrong side in this war."
" And I assure you, captain," retorted the rebel
officer, that I ens equally sorry to find a man of
rny name en the wrong side."
The next day our captain received a note from
his namesake, asking his kind services. It seems
that the rebel officer had ordered, of a tailor in the
city, and paid for, a new uniform of tho Missouri
State Guard ; and atter its oempletion, our provost
marshal had refused to permit at to be scut to him,
but treated it as contraband. It is so Clearly in
accordance with military custom to permit a priso
ner of war to wear his uniform, that Captain b Kee
ney interposed successfully, and the uniform was
sent to its owner.

A Pats for a Rebel—Buz Rowe.
A Kentucky correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times sa
k e :
I heard an incident, down at Bacon crook, the
other day, which illustrates the character of the
Secessionists, and the vigorous policy pursued by
Gen. McCook.
A man named Buz Rowe lives down in this re
gion. Ho was early atilioted with the Secession
fever, and when the rebels occupied this portion of
Kentucky the sickness assumed a malignant form.
It was his practice to lay around a tavern at Bacon
Creek Station, drink whisky, swagger, blow about
Southern rights, and insult Union men. One gen
tleman informs me that ho has aeon him draw his
pistol, and threaten to shoot at least twenty Union
men, at as many different times. When our troops
advanced to Rosin, and the rebels fell back to
Green river, Buz changed his tune. Ho was not
disposed to take up arms In behalf of the cause
ho represented. In feat, to assure poses and
safet at home, he expressed his willingness to
" tak y e
the oath."
On being lectured by Union men he stated that
he was only going through the form to prevent be
ing troubled at home, that when he could do good
for the rebel cause he would net regard the obliga
tion in the least. It was some time before Buz
could get a Union man to go to the camp with him,
but finally, in company with snob, he called on
General McCook and asked for privilege of taking
the oath and obtaining a pass. The General knew
hie man, and addressing the Union man who ac
companied him, said :
"Administer the oath to hinz—a ready traitor
to his country ! What regard de you suppose he
would have for the solemn obligations of an oath ?
A man, sir, who would betray his country, has no
respect for his oath."
Buz turned pale, The truth cut him doop, and
he began to see that his time had come.
bThe.General absolutely refused too have the oath
administered, or to grant a pass. Ho could not got
out of camp without some sort of a dooument, and
he beseeched the interference of those whom he
had CO greatly abused when they wore without
protection. At last Gen. McCook agreed to pass
him out of camp, and gave him a document 'whisk
read something in this way:
" To the guards and plokots--
" The bearer is a traitor to his country. Pass
him ; but, in doing so, mark him well, and if you
see him hereafter prowling about our lines, shoot
him titmice."
This pass the brawling rebel had to show to the
whole line of guards and pickets, who all marked
him well before they lot hun Nu. Though he had
previously been at Bacon creek every day, he has
not boon seen there since.
Ile is as (inlet as tho army on the Potomac. One
interview with Oen. McCook caused him to sub
side. That sort of medicine is the only kind that
will once Seoul/.
The Situation in Kentucky
An intimation is given in a despatch from Cairo
that the expedition which is already under way
will second the Tennessee river to some point as
yet unknown, when it will be met by a body of
cavalry and the two forces uniting will proceed to
their ultimate destination. This would indicate
that, instead of a direct attack being made upon Co
lumbus, it is the intention of the militarycomman
ders to first attack Nashville and thus command
the railroad approaches to Columbus and Memphis,
which must then be speedily eVaeutited by the re
bels.
Whether this bo the plan or not, it certainly ap
pears reasonable that such a course should be pur
sued. Assutaing, therefore, that such is ostensibly
the direction of also expedition, a brief description
of the situation of the country may not be unin
teresting.
Tho Tennessee river is the largest affluent of the
Ohio, and is formed by two branches, the Clinch
and Moisten, which rise among the Allegheny
mountains, in Virginia, and unite at Kingston, in
Tennessee. Tho length of the river is estimated
at eight hundred miles; but if the Moisten, the
largest breneb, is included, its length is cloven
hundred miles,
The channel of the river is obstructed by no con
siderable falls or raids, except Muscle shoals in
Alabama. It is navigable for steamboats to Flo
rence, Alabama, a distance of two hundred and
eighty miles. Except at the upper part of its course,
the banks of the river are not steep, but the coun
try in the vicittity is quito level and unobstructed
by hills or other eminences of importance.
The Cumberland river, by which a portion of the
expedition may advance, la six. hundred miles long,
and is navigable for steamboats two hundred miles,
to Nashville, Tennessee. Prom Dover, Tennessee,
the course Of the river - id ?ierailel with and ton
miles west of the Tennessee:
At Sandy Mouth, on Out' Tennessee, and Dover
on the Cumberland, the track of the Memphis and
Ohio rallroad crosses. From Dover to Clarksville,
Tenn., the track of this road. runs parallel with the
Cumberland liver.
Mayfield crook, at the mouth of which a portion
of the expedition encamped on Thursday night, iB
about night miles below Cairo, and Columbus is
about thirty miles below. Mayfield, Ky., the
terminus of a railroad from Paducah, is about
equidistant, in a straight line between the month
of Mayfield creek and Sandy Mouth, Tenn., the
entire distance being about eighty miles.
liming thus given the topography of the country,
a glance at the course already suggested will, we
thick, incline any person to the opinion that Co
lumbus will not be attacked from the Mississippi
river nor from the rear, until Nashville has fallen
beneath the combined assaults of Generals 13uoll
and lialleok. - 5
Tho expeditions up the Tennessee and Cumber
land rivers can seize upon Sandy Mouth and Dover,
at which there aro butt slight fortifications, and at
once command the approach between Memphis and
Clarksville; preventing reinforcements being sent
from Memphis, should they ho desired. The de
tachment trom the main body, which encamped at
Mayfield creek on Thursday, can cross the State to
Sandy Mouth, receiving reinforcements at Mayfield.
Clarksville is fortified to some extent, as it is an
important key to Nashville.
At this point General Buell will probably co
operate, and from thence the united commands will
proceed to Nashville. When this point falls the
last hope of rebellion in Western Tennessee is
crushed. The enemy at Columbus and Memphis
will then oyacuato their strongholds, fearful of an
attack in the rear from the victorious forces of the
Federal army; the formidable torpedoes and chains;
the expentive cannon and entrenchments at Co
lumbus—all will be found useless to protect the re
bels from tie advance of the Union forces. Bishop
Polk will hid that himself, as welhas Pillow, has
thrown the earth out on the wrong side of the
ditch
Some apprehensions have been felt that an attack
upon Nashville might be productive of much loss
to the Federal forces. It is so situated, however,
that it canmt long resist tho Federal attack or a
siege. Shoald it become necessary the supply of
water maybe cut off, in as effectual a ,manner as
that in which Price cut off Mulligan's supply at
Lexington, for the city obtains water from the Cum
berland river. The importance of Nashville in a
strategic point of view—it being the termination of
the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, which
completes the connection with Charleston and Sa
vannah—readersitquito desirable that we should
have pc:Hag
en of it.
We think ire have shown bow a successful at
tack can bl made by the Federal forces, which will
place in oir hands important points without firing
a gun in front of them. Whether or not Generals
Balleck ani Buell have determined upon precisely
the course we have traced out WO are not disposed
to say. We believe the campaign of the Cumber
lard and Cairo will be directed to the subjugation
of Western Kentucky and Tennessee. Whatever
stops will bo taken to accomplish- this object will
doubtless be successful, for the reason that every
drpertuont of the grand army has been waiting un
til MoCle.l/ait was ready to strike—and we believe
that the time has come.

So much has been said and written about the
Burnside expedition, and its probable destination,
that it is like an old, worn•out song, sung until it

cern in his mind. And yet there may bo some who
would like to knew the last news about tho groat
Burnside fleet, that is to commit so great depreda
tion somewhere on the Southern coast, fire off can
non, explode bombshells, batter down forts, fire
upon dwelling houses, send conic rifle•shells through
the sick wards of hospitals, steal negroes to en
slave them and compel them to work for $8 per
month—clothing deducted—and engage in other
dignified proceedings to bo represented in Northern
papers as brilliant victories
There are now rumors about the grand armada
of gunboats, rotten hulls and dear-bought trans
port ships. Of course they are to come to Hamp
ton Roads, take their position under the fort—
scarcely eleven miles distant—have a drunken
spree at Sugar's hotel, and then coins in grand
style up to Norfolk, levelling the Sewell's Point
batteries to the ground, knocking Oraney Island
clear from its foundation, and piling it up over the
mainland, blowing up old Fort Norfolk and maga
zine, demolishing the splendid stone structure and
model hospital on the opposite shore, taking quiet
possession of Norfolk and Portsmouth, helping
themselves to the Navy Yard, and so forth and so
on. But to be a little more serious—a gentleman
recently from the North says the expedition is in
tended for Norfolk; and the correspondent of a
Western paper says it is certainly designed for the
waters st Eastern Virginia, including Elizabeth
and its branches. Lot thorn come, is the almost
unanimous voice of the people hereabouts. Wo

East Tennessee
The Memphis Avalanche publishes a very in
teresting letter from East Tennessee, from which
we make the following extract :
The rebellion here as only suppressed, it so not
completely crushed. The smouldering fires kindled
by Brownlow, Johnson, and Maynard may burst
forth at any time. The moment the troops are
withdrawn the flames of the revolution will be re
kindled in every valley and on every mountain

in the secluded valleys beside the bright and spark
ling streams that come leaping down lofty crags and
precipices, dwells the huntsman of East Tennessee.
Be has never read a newspaper besides Brownlow's.

Texae—Bloettade of the Rio Grande,
The Norfolk Day Book of the 9th has tho fol
lowing from a reoont number of tho New Orleans
Delta:
This river, a neutral stream, the boundary km
trreen Mexico and the Confederate States, has been
blockaded by the United States nary, and is now
closed to the commerce of the - world. The ships
of foreign nations, bound for Matamoros and other
Mexican ports, ere forbidden entrain° into the
river. The first vessel which, was ordered off hap
pened to be an English ship with a freight for an
Boglish house at Matamoros. No better illustra
tion could bo given of the forbearance or imbetillty
of the British Government in relation to this block
ade than would be their acquiescence in each an
exclusion of their merchant vosselefrom the port of
a nation not engaged in this war. They have al
ready abundant proofs of the ineffectiveness of the
blockade in regard to Confederate ports. Neither
Great Britain, France, nor the United States ever
before recognized or permitted such a blockade as
that which the United States have attempted to
maintain, or one so destructive to the interest of
their people. But if they choose to submit to it,
we do not know that it becomes us to object, what.
ever we may think of their consistency or manhood.
But when the audacious Government oP Lincoln
attempts to extend their blockade to the ports of
other independent nations, it appears to ue that
there are no limits to the impudence and insolence
of that Government, or to the forbearance and
submission of the great commercial .PoiVers of Eu

The Rebel Volunteer System.
IT DON'T {YORE WELL-A FORCED SYSTEM ItECOSI.•
[From the Richmond Examiner, Jan. 9.]
Some of the wisest men of the South are affected

force in the field, and the hazard to result from the
dissolution of old and the reorganization of now re
giments at a most critical period of the coming.
campaign, present, in fact, the only serious sources
of apprehension for the Southern cause. We have
not indulged, however, in any of those evil fore
bodings. We look at the great fact that, so far,
this war has derived all its vigor and success from
the people. In no particular have the patriotic
masses of our countrymen come short of their duty,
or of the demands of the crisis, one whit. Tho war
is the people's war: they have made it; theirs-is
all the glory it has shed upon our name, and it is a
species of high treason to harbor any apprehensions
of delinquency on their part.
True, the people have had much to complain of
in the would-be rulers, politicians, and contract.
mongers—only their fingers—in the war. True,
the soldiers have had much to disgust them with
the service. True, there has beers a sad absence of
enterprise, genius, and energy in the conduct of -
public affairs, such as gives nerve to the soldier's
arm and kindles a flame in his heart. We have had
no William Pitt at the helm of State, nor flaming
comet like Bonaparte carrying consternation into
the camps of the enemy everywhere around the
horizon ; and we have, consequently, had bat a
Slight manifestation of that popular enthusiasm
attending the prosecution of the war which a bril
liant governing genius inflames, but which a dull
one snows upon.
But, in spite of all diseouragemente and obstacles,
the people will do their duty. Our volunteers will
all re-enlist, provided only that the labor and the
burden bo distributed with an even band. There
is scarcely a man in our armies who makes any
other objection to continuing in the service than
that others remain at home equally hound with
himself to serve the country in its need. This dif
ficulty is, of all others, the one most readily re
moved. This difficulty once removed, and the
whole trouble is obviated. Our brave men already
in the camps will remain there, and our army will
bo at once filled up the fullest standard of numbers
demanded by the exigencies of the cause.
The mode of overcoming this solitary difficulty
is simply to abandon the systomof voluntary en
listment. Why should Government relinquish the
moot sacred and vital of all its funtions—that of
commanding the services of its citizens for the
public defence? Why should Govornnient abdicate
its authority at the moment when the salvation of
society depends upon its rigorously and vigor
ously putting it into requisition? Let the Go
vernment order the soldiers already in the field to
remain there, and let it require those not onlistod
to put themselves in the field. By calling upon all
to servo in its armies, it makes the service a cheer
ful ono on the part of all. Those now in service
- will continue in it, and perform their duty with an
alacrity unknown before, when they see that the
rest of their fellow-citizens are required to do
their part also.
Louis Napoleon would overcome the difficulty
presented by this subject of re-enlistment in two
days. Be would have an immediate return of the
able-bodied mon in ovary magisterial district of
the South, classified according to their different
ages, and he would, long before the winter shall ox
pies, have every man under arms by name to join
his proper corps, and in active drill and service.
Nothing inspires more alacrity or cheerfulness in
our soldiers than the Tact that all are required to
- do their duty, and that the Government. is, with
energy, ability, promptitude, and, above all, with
impartiality, doing its own. We ought, long ere
this, to have had a census of the Confederate
States; and our War Department ought, before six
months of the war bad passed over, have had rolls
front every magisterial district in the Con fede.
racy, enumerating every able-bodied man in it.
The volunteer system has served its purpose of
meeting a pressing exigency. It would be imbecile
and idle to expect it to servo the necessities of a
protracted war. To attempt to carry it on further
is to break down utterly—is literally to lean upon
a, broken reed. Why should we attempt to convert
a mere temporary expedient into a - permanent
policy? Is it impossible for our statesmen and
legislators to lift themselves out of the deep ruts of
routine and to strike out new pathways? If not,
like the army horses in Western Virginia, they will
drown the country's cause in the mud and mire of
the old and untravelled ways.

few miles below Cape Henry. _The Spa lehling, was
sent to her assistance, but could find no vessel
ashore, and consequently returned last evening.
The rebels raised a new flag-staff and flag yester
day on SewoWs Point. It is seen conspicuously
above the trees.
The Spaulding, is loading rapidly, and is ex
pected to sail for Port Royal via Bottom this

From Cincinuntt.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 13.—This morning's Gazette
says that Governor Dennison received despatches
on Friday night, from Washington, informing him
that there was a pressing necessity for troops in
Western Virginia.
General McClellan was advised that fourteen ro•
giments of infantry, five battalions of artillery, and
two regiments of cavalry, could be thrown into Vir
ginia by Tuesday night, and that more than half of
those which bad received marching orders would be
out of the State by last night. On Saturday, dos
patches were received countermanding the orders
of Friday night. The soldiers, however, have in
structions to hold themselves in readiness to march.
Health of General McClellan.
WAsnixoTorr, Jan. 13.—Rumors continue to be
circulated roprosentirg the condition of General
McClellan as unfavorable, but the truth is, he con
tinues daily to improve, anu rides out in his car
riage on business.
The President has approved the joint resolution
explanatory of the not to increase the duties on tea,
coffee, and sugar.
From Gen. Banks' Column.
Fnananter., Md., Jan. 13.—Advioca from Han
cock, dated yesterday, state that the rebel General
Jackson, with 15,000 regulars, 3,000 militia, and
18 guns, after threatening Romney, appeared be
fore this place, at a distance, to-day, probably on
his return to Winchester.
Ho had threo days' rations left. Up to this time
ho had made no demonstration. A week ago yes
terday he, with his full force, appeared at Bath,
Where thereiwere only about 500 Union troops, be
ing detachments of several regiments. Au attack
was made by the whole rebel militia, who were
twice repulsed by our volunteers.
Subsequently Jackson's regulars made an attack
in front, in the meantime executing a flank rnove•
meat, when our troops fell back on Hancock. The
estimate of Jackson's force is corroborated from
several sources.
Letter from Newport News.
(Correnouderkee of The Press.]
UNITED STATES STEAMER DELAWARE,
OFP NEWPORT NEWS, JaR. H; 1862.
Nothing of interest has transpired since my last.
The fitting out of the Burnside expedition, and its
apparent connection with another from Fortress
Monroe, under command of General Wool, is the
subject which engrosses all minds hero at present.
The vessels supposed to be for the enterprise under
Wool aro rapidly accumulating at Fortress Monroe;
and if anything is in contemplation, it will not be
long before it is realized, at least in the form of
powerful men-of-war, gunboats, transports, dc.,
manned by active sailors and brave soldiers, eager
for any work which may be assigned them. Our
craft has been lying hero (Newport News) over
since the affair of the schooner; but the robots
have not attempted a repetition of an aot which
lost Assistant Quartermaster Noyes a fine craft, and
gave rise to considerable chagrin on the part of
the captains, officers, and crows of the several gun
boats hero stationed, who were not on band to pre
vent it. But the next attempt of the kind " may
we be there to see."
The crew of the frigate Congress, lying here,
expect to be paid off in a day or two, when they
will take their departure for their homes in sepa
rate drafts, .1 believe, of ono hundred each. The
frigate will lie here, and bo reinforced by new re
cruits. She is a noble vessel, and one in which a
seaman would take pride, either in the handling
of a marlinspike or the manning of a gun.
The soldiers encamped hero, Fortress Monroe,
and on tho Potomac, aro, without doubt, fretting
and chafing at the apparent sluggishness of their
leaders in not ordering an advance. But the
";masterly inactivity , ' of McClellan will prove itself
before many days, aye, ere many hours; and, in
the meantime, let our gallant soldiers bo patient
and vigilant, and their dearest hopes will be re
warded. But how do sailors brook the delay They
swear most emphatically, For hero wo are do-

HAMC7.O3.
An Improved Tone in the Canadian Press
The Cartathans-do• not. Sympathize
with the South."
(From the Toronto Globe, Vilrinstant.l_
The Leader has-been compelled to acknowledge
its mistake in seeking to excite badleoling,between
Canada and the United States: Public indignation
has been manifested against it in a manner which
its'publisher knows-how to appreciate; the agent
of Jeff Davis is-no longer editor, and au aporega f
for his misdeeds has been inserted. The amen d.
takes the form of a disclaimer (in double-leaded
type) that the Government are responsible for' the
organ's incendiary career. The Government un
doubtedly hoped at first to make political capital 17-
raising the war feeling, but the organs overdid the
work—the cloven foot wee seen—the reaotion.in•
the public mind is complete, and hence the die
claimer. The home organ, the Quebec Chronicle ;
has also changed its note. A few weeks ego it re
commended the British Government to break-the ,
blockade, now it says :
"It is surely for the interest of the States, as well.
as of thee° colonies, that we should live together in
amity. We aro nearly three millions- of people,
and wo soon hope to be more. If the Union is to •
be permanently divided into two or more Confede—
racies, it may happen that each of these will think.
our custom an object of competition. If it is -to be
reunited, it would surely be better that the popu
lation on both sides of the boundary should continuo
to be friends—assisting each other in the develop
meat of their national recourses ; encouraging and
extending reciprocal trade; and breaking down yet
further the barrier to mutually profitable inter
course. We hope, then, that the Administration of
the States, which now controls the press,-may see
to it that moderation is introduced into the tone of
the leading American journals, or else make such a
declaration of their sentiments towards this oo untry
as will counteract the evil effects that have cdroody
been produced by licentiously abusive newspapers.
This is excessively cool. The Chronicle, al
though a recognized, well-paid organ of the Go
vernment, was quite as abusive of the United
States as the New York Herald has boon of Eng
land. Yet it now calls on the American Adminis
tration to restrain " licentiously abusive news
papers!"
Jhe truth is that our precious Ministry ventured
upon a very hazardous and tricky political. game,
and have had a terrible fall. The public voice
unanimously condemns them, and sustains• this
journal in preserving a friendly spirit towards the
people of the Northern States, while we arm for
our own defence against all deniers, and steadily
maintain our position as the guardians of Britain's
outposts in North America. The Canadian people
do not sympathize with the South, and are not
anxious for war with the North. They have
been recklessly belied by the Ministerial press to
servo partisan purposes.
The Fight at Blue:? Gap, Va.---Further
Ftirticuiars---Housg4 Burned.
The Wheeling Press hos a letter datedltomney,
Va., giving some further particulars of the fight at
Blue's Clap, in which the Federal troops, sent from
the former place, under Col. Limning, participated.
We copy the following :
Col. D.led the Fifth Ohio rapidly into the moun
tain, to whioh the rebels had fled. Titers a sharp
engagement ensued; whole volleys of musketry
were beard, and it was soon discovered that the
rebels were firing from behind a broastwork.ort the
top of the mountain. As soon as Col. Dunning dis
covered this he ordered his men to fix bayonets and.
ammo. Whilst this was being done the rebels left
in haste for thdeamp at the foot of the , mountain
and back of the gap.
While the above action was going on Colonel
Z.la.on charged up the mountain to the right with
the Fourth Ohio, and drove the rebels front the
rocks on that side. Borne sharp firing occurred in
that dtreetion. In the meantime, but when the
firing bad nearly ceased on the mountain, the Eighth
Ohio led the way down the gap, followed by the
First Virginia, Seventh Ohio, and the Fourth Indi
ana. Colonel Dunning having passed on and taken
the two pieces of artillery with their caissons and
horses, also a wagon and horse:, with the Fifth
Ohio Regiment, returned and ordered, the cavalry
to charge. Ills orders were obeyed with prompt
ness, but the rebels bad taken to the mountains.
The artillery could not be used, and not a shot
was fired from cannon on either side during the
action. The rebels wore surprised, and it was a
complete rout. We found eight dead bodies on
the field, or rather amongst the rods. There may
have been more, but they were not reported, and,
singular as it may appear, not a man of ours re
ceived even a scratch from a bullet. I can ac
count for this only upon the ground, that our guns
were some of the best in the world, while theirs
were probably inferior arms.
Our forces consisted of detachments of the Fourth,
Fifth, Seventh, and Eighth Ohio, the Fourteenth
Indiana, and the First Virginia, together with two
companies of cavalry and 15aunes battery, with a
section of Howard's battery—in all about 2,500
men. Our information led us to expect about 2,000
rebels, but the citizens and negroes agreed in
stating their force at 800. All went on well until
some crazy soldiers, encouraged by some of the
officers, commenced burning houses, and I am sorry
to say that several houses were burned along the
road as they returned, The mill and Blue's house,
which were used for soldier's quarters, were burned,
perhaps properly, as they constituted a shelter,
and might have been used again for a nest of bush
whackers; but the burning of dwellings along the
road was a piece of vandalism which should be
punished with death.
The Cairo Expedition—The Rendezvous
at Paducah—Reported Extent of the
Preparations—Fort Henry on the Ten•
A Cairo letter dated on Thursday the 9th Bays :
Yesterday afternoon a portion of the troops sta
tioned at Smithland, who wore guarding SUMO la
borers who were quarrying stone at a place in Ken
tucky, called Carville, to be used in the construc
tion of fortifications at this point, were attacked
and driven off by the rebels—so it is rumored. The
gunboats Esser and Lexington went off that way
this afternoon, and, it is conjectured, on account of
such assault.
To-day, you have learned by telegraph's large
force is on the move to concentrate at Paducah.
The authorities say that they move from Paducah
60,000 strong. If they do, it will be necessary to
draw from some point Bast. It is very evident
that great eveßts are near at hand. The greatest
activity is manifest in all military quarters. Gen.
MeClornand's brigade are under marching orders
and leave in the morning with five days' rations.
The two regiments at Camp Holt era also under
marching orders. A battalion of Col. Dickey's
cavalry go to Mound City to relieve the regiment
of infantry stationed there. The greatest enthu
siasm is exhibited in all the camps. As I write I
can hear a regiment of MoClernand's brigade cheer
ing most lustily at the prospect of a fight.
The probabilities of the expedition from Paducah
I judge to be these : It will go by land toward Port
Henry, a rebel institution mounting some sixty
fours, about sixty miles up the Tennessee. This
point taken, our forces can go by land towards and
in the rear of Columbus, or they can go further up
the Tennessee with gunboats, as far as Columbia,
destroy the railroad bridge, and thus cut off all
connection between the rebels at Bowling Greer,
and Columbia. Memphis and Nashville will bo so
far in onr hands that the rebels under Buckner
will be cut oil from their natural course of retreat
by the Nashville road, and if a movement or feint
be made upon Memphis, General Bishop Polk will
be compelled to leave hie two hundred guns in
position and travel down the Mississippi. Our
troops would thus accomplish all that is desirable,
without the greatless of life that must ensue if Co
lumbus be attacked from the Mississippi.
The Strength of the Army.
It is questioned whether the actual number et
Federal troops in the field exceed 650,000, as the
reports of the Governors of States would seem to
indicate this number as more correct than that of
660,000, stated by the Secretary of War, Now
York, credited by Mr. Cameron with 100,209 men,
by the report of Governor Morgan, allowing for dis
charges, deaths, and prisoners, has about 89,000.
She has 14,500 more yet encamped, in the State,
however. Ohio is credited by Mr. Cameron
with 91,205 ; Governor Dennison says she
has furnished 77,844, of which 31,079 are
within her own limits. Pennsylvania is credited
with 94,760; Governor Curtin says her num
ber is 97 577, not making any, allowances for dis
charges, deatbs, &c., which may reduce the number
to the neighborhood of 80,000. Pennsylvania,
however, has 16,000 yet encamped on her own soil.
Massachusetts is set down as havmg furnished 26,760
volunteers. The Governor shows the equivalent of
about twenty-seven regiments, and the allowance
for losses and discharges would, therefore, no doubt
bring the numbeevery much below the Secretary's
figure. We have, however, meu enough, if properly
moved, to crush out the rebellion speedily.
