Some ten or fifteen days since, 'Squire Gammon learned that hiafamily were all down aisle with the `sistiulee, and determined to visit them, cost what it might. So he obtained a furlough from his gallant coking, under a protest that ha (Garmein) Would never return to his regiment. The first or second night after hie arrival at home the secesh,. his old neighbors and relatives, twenty-eight strong, armed vhated his house and rapped at his door. The 'Squire bailed them; no answer. He sprang out of bed, gathered his irons, and lighted a candle, when be discovered three men in his dining-room, and fired at them. They all scampered out of the house, one fallingdead at the door. The captain then ordered him to come out, which he refused to ' 'do, and in turn invited them to come in and ex . change bullets there. This they determined to do, and immediately opened fire on his house through the doors and windows, the 'Squire returning the fire as fast as he emild. This was kept up, the'Squire thinks, about an hour, when his assailants left, Leaving three dead in the . yard , and carrying off five mentally wound ed—same dead. The 'Squire then, lighted the . house, and the sick family came out from their hiding places. Not a whole pane of glass remained in seven windows. Three balls had entered the posts and rails of his daughter's bed, she being too - unwell to get up. Twenty-five balls were found in his wile's' bedtick, and the furniture of his house was literally riddled, .p The squire's personal casualties srere as follows : One ball severed a finger; another bled him in the temple; a third crossed his breast, severing his shirt-bosom; a fourth passed through his hat; and a fifth unbuttoned his shirt-sleeve. The squire thinks they . Must have fired some 200 rounds at him ; but, none the worse for wear, he is ready to repeat the operation whenever they are. The coal and deliberate manner in which the squire details the reneontre to his friends, aside from his reputation for veracity, gives the highest assurance of its en tire truthfulness. The Fight at Prestontnirg. • ROW COt. GARFIELD GOT EXCITED AND FOUGIIT IN SIIIRT SLEEVES. The Cleveland Herald says: Captain Willard, of Company F, Forty-second Regiment, arrived here last night on his way home to Ravenna. He wee not in the Prestonburg fight, being detained by sickness a few miles hack of Palntvitle, but ob. tamed many incidents of the battle from those who were in it. Pentonburg is about twelve miles beyond Paint. vllie "After the cavalry skirmish at the latter place, Colonel Garfield pushed on with the advance of his brigade for Prestonburg. Before reaching that place ho found the enemy posted on and behind a range of bills. The Federal force fo-ming the advance yea lees than seven hundred, but 'Colonel Garfield at once prepared to make an attack. A body of the enemy was posted. on a com manding bill, and it became neeessary to dislodge them. The 14th Kentucky volunteered for the service, as they knew the nature of the ground. Said Col. Garfield, "Go in, boys; give them Hail Co/ambit; !" The hill was cleared, and soon the reserve of the brigade came in at a double quick. 'As coon as he saw them Col. Garfield pulled off his coat, aria flung it up in the air, where it lodged in a tree, out of reach. The men threw up their caps with a wild shout, and rushed at the enemy, Col. Garfield, in his shirt sleeves, leading the way. As the Federal troops reached the top of the hill, a rebel officer shouted, in surprise, " Why, how many of you ere there?" "Twenty-five thousand men d— you," yelled a Kentucky Union officer, rushing at the rebel. In an instant the rebels broke and ran in utter confusion. Several instances of personal daring and coolness are related. A member of Capt. Bushnell's com pany, in the Forty-second, was about to bite a cart ridge when a musket ball struck the cartridge from his fingers. Coolly facing the direction from which the shot came, he took out another cartridge and exclaimed, "You can't do that again, old fellow." Captain Willard says that the two men killed on our side were Kentuckians. The lose of the enemy is not known. In addition to the twenty-seven bodies found on the field, a number of human bones were found in several of the houses °burned by the rebels in their retreat from Prestonburg. A rebel officer reported, at a house where he called during his flight, that they had killed 600 Fedora's, And lost 250 of their own men. It is not unlikely that the killed, wounded, and deserted will amount to that number, as numerous desertions took place previous to the battle. The rebels burned most of their camp equipage and baggage. Some arms fell into the possession of our forces, and a large number of knapsacks and overcoats. The property found was wretchedly poor, the coats being made almost entirely of cot ton. Prestonburg is now held by a detachment of our forces, the main body being encamped at Paint where there is better camping ground. General Baelt's Division. The Munfordville correspondent of the Cincin nati Commercial, under date of Jan. 15, says: You know I ant not making a habit of puffing generals, especially when they do nothing beyond their regular duty; but I cannot forbear giving credit to tlen. McCook for the tireless activity with which he looks to the requirements of the service in his division. The discouraging effect of the contemplation of the fortifying efforts at present made at this point by our soldiers, is somewhat relieved by the appa- rent font that the work now constructing will not be of a very extensive character, and will be finished in a few 'days. Whether this completion will be the signal for the advance, romaine to be seen. Some of the military about here, that are chafing under the inactivity, derive - some consola tion from the hope, that the giving out of the sinews of war will soon compel the managers at Washington to do something towards the conquest of the needed States. Whether it be brought mere disastrously upon this army than a defeat,. The rebels aro still engaged in destroying the property of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. On the 11th inst. they burned down -the buildings of two depots between this point and Bowling Green. As this destruction will hardly impede the March of the Federal army, this is a new piece of vandalism and vengeance, in full keeping with the general prentice of the Southern traitors. These barbarous in - notices indicate fully that their hope of ever obtaining a firm foothold north of Green river is fading among the rebels The late appointment of William Preston as major general to the supreme command of all the Kentucky troops in the Confederate service is a di rect slight of Buckner. The Richmond rulers evi dently do not hold him in high favor, and yet there is no man %the Southern army that has done more for the furtherance of the rebel cause in Southern Kentucky than Simon Bolivar Buckner. Re has not only high military talent, and has been tho soul of the organization of the Secessionists in this State, but was chiefly instrumental in inaugurating and keeping up the convenient neutrality dodge until the Secession conspiracy had fully ripened. It was likewise due principally to his personal popularity that so many young 'Kentuckians embraced the re bel cause. Ile was fairly entitled to the chief command of those ho had induced to take up arms against the Federal Government, and disre good of his claims will prove a bitter grievance to himself and friends, The Slave Republic thus ap pears as ungrateful as all others, It is known that Buckner has been very urgent for some time peat for aggressive demonstrations, while Gen. Johnston insisted upon strictly defensive warfare- The former sent word to bisfriends in Louisville, time and again, assuring them of his certain ap pearance atthe ' head of his army, in that city, pre vious to the let of January. Whether this was mere empty boasting on his part, and a bid for popularityor whether he was really so fully con vinced of ' his own superior generalship, and the irresistible prowess of his men, it is more than probable that his- opposition to the plans of his superior had something to dowith the appointment of Preston Over his head. A Scrap of fltstory. The telegraph from Cairo last week, in mention jog the movement of troops from that point, stated that a detachment landed and encamped on the Kentucky shore, at 'told Fort Jefferson." This old fort has a history which is not without interest. It is located about six miles below Cairo, epee. efts, or nearly opposite, Island No. 1. The fort was erected by George Rogire Clark, in the year 1781, under the direction of Thomas Jefferson, then Governor of Virginia, in view of an antici pated attempt by the Spaniards to occupy and lay claim to territory east of the Mississippi river. General Clark was soon succeeded in command of the poet by Capt. James Pigott. Several families settled in the vicinity the same season the fort was built. The Chickasaw , and Choctaw Indians wore in. ceased at this occupation of their lands without their consent, and determined on the destruction of the fort and settlement. Under the lead of one Cal ben, a Sootehman, who was virtually oncost' their chiefs, they harassed . the settlement, killing souse of the settlers, and finally laid siege to the fort. The garrison having bean forwarned of the attaok, and being already Short of provisions, almost to the point of stantation, had despatched a messenger to the Fails of the, Ohio. The savages besieged the fort closely for three days. Those within were staffer ing severely from sickness, want of food, the 'water almost given mit, and, withal, they bad only a email supply of ammunition. Their desperate con dition was diseased to the besiegers by a white prisoner who had. been captured. Calbert, with two chiefs; then approaohed the fort with a flag of truce, urging a surrender at discretion, to avert the horreisof mammon at the bands of the radial* in ease of prolot g ed defence, assuring protection to the, inmates, excepting a few obnoxious persons, whom the Indians bad sworn to butcher. They offered an hour for consideration. Captain Pigott, Mr. Owens, and another, acted on behalf of the garrison in the conference, which - was carried on within range of shot from the fort. They pro posed that, if the Indians would withdraw from the vicinity, they would evacuate the fort. As the conferring parties were about to separate, (the "Indians to consider In council upon the offer) s Mr. hfusloorhose fatuity had been mur dered by the savages, fired at Canted, wounding him severely. The Indians bad - sent a force of warriors to intercept the relief that was hoped for from the Falls, and, if that was out off, it was im possible for the garrison to hold out. But, while the Indiana were engaged in their council, the hoped-for succor arrived, having fortunately escaped the bands sent out to intercept them. , As As soon as le was dark, the Indians tried to gain access to the fort by stealth, but foiled in that, they attempted ro carry it by assault. The cannon of the fort Were plaoed eo as to rake the walls, and thaws-Wept down the assailants -in heaps, while their Adel did but little &image to those within the walls. Repulsed in repeated assaults with great loss, the Indians, after alight of Several hones, were corn palled to fly to save themselves from destruction.

An ARpeal to the Loyal and Humane itiuzeos of the Visited. States, There are now in the military hospitals of St. Louie not loss than two thousand five hundred sick, and at least one thousand five hundred in the various poet hospitals on the lines of the railroads, in the State of Missouri. This great amount of sickness is explained by the peculiar hardships of the present campaign, which have fallen with terrible severity upon our . youog and , undieciplined volunteers. Many regiments were required to go into the field, one or two weeks after eplisimmiti to do the hardest work of rapid marches over bad roads, with insufficient eupplies, and limited means of transportation. Such were the exigencies of the service. The men have endured the trials bravely and well, with little complaint, and no abatement of courage; but the Beason of the year is that in which exposure always brings sickness, and the unavoidable result, as above indicated, has occur red. We have 4,000 sick and wounded, who need the comforts, and care which can only be supplied by the humanity of their follow-oltizens. Tae Go vernment is doing all that the circumstances render possible„but the demand is pressing, and the ut most activity on the part of all loyal men and we-, men is required. Warm garments of every kind for hospital use, and for the oonvalescent, are needed. Warm, unbleached cotton shirts, flannel and canton flannel undershirts and drawers, knit-yarn socks, dressing-gowns, blankets, comfortables, and all kinds of hospital olothiug and stores, are in daily de mand. The unavoidable consumption of such things is very great. For example, for a hospital of 500 beds, there ehould bee permanenthospital wardrobe of 1,500 shirts,l,ooo undershirts, and the same num ber of drawers. These are all marked, and the nurse in charge of the linen room is made responsible for them ; but she is authorized to give to the nurses, for the use of the 'convalescents leaving the hospi tals, any garments they actually need. The num ber so given is not very large, in proportion to the whole number of patients, but it needs to be taken into account. Of socks, an almost unlimited nutn bar is needed, for they are perishable and easily lost in camp life, and we permit no convalescent to leave without a change. It will, therefore, easily be keen how large an opportunity is given to the well disposed for doing good. Hospital garments are not, and cannot be, eupplied by Government, which can only undertake to make the men com fortable for the camp and field. For hospital com forts, the army must look to those in whose defence they are enlisted. Let these who bold the purse provide material, and the women of America will be glad and thank ful to give the labor of their hands. It is important to add that all boxes ehould be sent by railroad, directed to the Western Sanitary Commission, St. Louis, arid bills of lading sent by mail, to Jas. E. Footman, president. Let the freight be PRE-PAID, if possible, even if the size of the boxes should lie thereby reduced. It always costs less, and the amount of freight paid here keeps our treasury empty The Western Sanitary Commission is working in perfect co-operation with the -United States Sani tary Commission of Washington City, and if donors prefer to send through that channel, it will be the same thing to us and to the cause for which we make this appeal JAS.

Report on the National Finances and Curreuey Some days ago a committee was appointed by the Board of Trade of this city, to proceed to Washing ton to confer with the committees of the Boards of Trade and the Bank Committees of Boston and New York, in relation to the national finances and the currency of the country. They spent a week in discharging this duty, and have presented the following interesting report of their proceedings and of their Interview with the President : To the Board of Trade of Philadelphia.—Tho committee appointed by the Executive Council of the Board of Trade of this city, to confer with similar committees from Boston and New York on the question of the finances and currency of the country, with power to take such further notion as circumstances might require, beg leave most re spectfully to report : That your committee, after frequent inter changes of opinion amongst themselves, and after ascertaining from the Secretary of the' Treasury, and the committees of Congress,that a personal conference with them at this juncture would be de sirable. decided to send a delegation of three of their members to Washington for this purpose. It was well known throughout the country that the financial arrangements of the Government were in a very unsatisfactory condition, and its credit seriously impaired. On learning, however, that committees repre senting the banking interest of the three cities of Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, were in com munication with the Secretary of the Treasury, your committee, feeling anxious lest they might in terfere with these negotiations, resolved to await their result. It was not, therefore, until receiving a special re quest from the bank delegation, informing ns that our services would be acceptable and useful, that Mr. Kimber, Mr. Merrick, and Mr. Grubb, as a delegation from this committee, met at Washington, Mr. Toboy, Mr. Ropes, Mr. Gray, and Mr. Hurd, the Committee of the Boston Board of Trade. At this place they were also joined by Mr. William D. Lewis, a prominent member of this association, whose influence and valuable co-operation they here desire especially . to acknowledge. They found, on arrival, that a less cordial feeling than was desirable appeared to exist haw... an delegation from the banks and the Treasury De. r e " t° " . ""'" ais rntvi,r - a - x - Liii of roTP&IRMIreg oontonoy or mi. . harmony of arrangement was apparent in their re spective financial proposals. lies Secretary was mainly intent on retrenchment of expenditure, and on the details of a free-banking project on Govern ment securities, as the principil measures of relief. The committees of Congress had resolved. in the apparent extremity, to issue one hundred millions of demand notes, in addition r.r. thn Skynzini.no already authorized, and to make the whole $160,000,000 a legal tender for all debts, public and private, throughout the Union, except custom-house d ues. Tho great question of an immediate and ample measure of taxation appeared to have a secondary place In all minds. On the other hand, the bank delegation, feeling that, after all their exertions and sacrifices for the Government, this forced irredeem able currency would operate with peculiar hardship upon them, and would derange, perhaps irretrieva bly, the finances of the country, protested most earnestly against any further issue of treasury de mand notes, and against than already issued being made legal tender. They proposed instead certain exchequer time bills, bearing interest, which Go vernment creditors would bo glad to take for their dues, but which would be free from the dangerous tendencies and consegnoncesof a compulsory, irre deemable national currency. It was therefore decided by your committee and the delegation from the Boston Board of Trade that it would be advisable for them to act in conjunction with each other, but independently of the bank committees, in the hope that by their labors a better understanding might be brought about between these gentlemen and the Government. Accordingly, these mercantile delegations, after a free interchange of views, had full and most satis factory conferences with the Committees of Finance of the Senate and Ways and Means of the House, by whom they were beard most respectfully and attentively. The results of these various interviews were after wards communicated to the btu* committees, and we have reason to know that they were considered by them of tho highest importance in contributing to accomplish the mutually advantageous arrange ments subsequently completed by them with the ,Secretary of the Treasury. Our whole intercourse with the gentlemen com posing this delegation from the banking interests was of the most gratifying character, and their friendly courtesy in opening the way for our la bors contributed greatly to whatever auceess.may have attended our efforts. The first question, which mot us at the very threshold of our argument, in regard to the linem an resources of the country, was, of course, tho probable rmetztre of the Government for tho en• suing year. And since it was evident that the revenue from our imports would continuo to bo email, and the sales of public lands would be almost wholly sus pended during tbo existing contest, it became equally evident to your committee that not only must this deficiency bo supplied, but an extraordi nary revenue, sufficient to meet the exigencies of the ease, must be provided by a system of direct taxation, It was, of course, very desirable so to frame the details of this law, if possible, as to bear oppres sively on no alms of the community, and fairly upon all. But, that the question must be mot fear lessly and unhesitatingly by the Representatives of the people, and that it would be responded to cheerfully and unflinchingly by our loyal country men, your committee bad not for ono moment a shadow of doubt. Proceeding, therefore, on this principle, that all sound financial arrangements must bo based on an adequate public) revenue, thejoint committees pressed upon the committees of Congress tho pri mary and vital importance of an ample measure of taxation. And since it was evident that to mature and por feet the details of these arrangements would re quire a longer time titan, in the existing depression of Government credit, it would be safe or prudent to delay the announcement of such a tax having been decided upon, the committee earnestly re commended the immediate passage, by both Houses, of a joint resolution declaring the determination of Congress to raise, by taxation, the ensuing year, a revenue of not less than ono hundred and twenty five millions of dollars. . . . Your committee are most gratified in being able to state that a joint resolution, substantially to this import, has accordingly been adopted by the House of Representatives and Senate with remarkable unanimity. In reference to the question of a national cur rency, your committee naturally was composed of gentlemen holding various opinione. Some believed the Government ought, at this juncture, to assume that currency directly, at us early a period no it wee possible to maks provision for a prompt specie redemption of the United States notes, at various points throughout the country so as not to disturb the national exchanges. Othera thought those notes should all be -redeemable in the Atlantic, cities While again several members fully approved of a plan similar to that proposed by the klecretary of the Treattity, by which the batiks become the me &WM of a species of national currency, on scouring .their own issues by United States stock deposked as collateral with the Government. and which note should be redeemed respectively by the banks issuing them. Happily, however, amid this diversity of opinion, there existed no doubt whatever on the mind of any member of your committee that this 'national cur rency should be redeemable somewhere; and that the'greatest evils were to be apprehended from a desperate measure of providing for the temporary warts of the Government, by , the unbounded issue of paper promises to pay on demand, when no pro vision whatever was made, or contemplated to be made; for the fulfilment of these premises. Your committee, therefore, most energetically labored to convince the committee of Congress of the unsound principle of such en irredeemable issue, and portray some of the unavoidable cense, qttences which would follow such a corruption of the ourrenoy. Theme of Austria was cited, where an arbitrary law making Government paper a legal tender, coupled with a penal law punishing the refusal of it no such, merely caused an inflation of priees on merchandise precisely corresponding THE PRESS. - PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1862. to the depreciation of that paper below the specie standard, which at times reached forty per cent. Your committee also pointed out the ruinous con sequences of this certain depreciation to all con tractors for public supplies, who had based their estimates on the promise of cash payments. Many of these at this moment are relying on the banks for their present support, which, of course, would be withdrawn, to their utter ruin, so Mil tot those banks should be forced to curtail their aeoommodai• tiers to meet the contraction of their own circu lation, driven in upon them by the Government issues, While such would bo the disastrous results in regard to existing contracts, the simple effect on all future supplies would be to put the price up on.,the Government to the exact point of deprecia tion of its paper below the gold standard. Your committee have reason to believe that these arguments bad great weight with the committees of Congress, and that no further issue of demand notes will be made by the Government, beyond the $50.000,000 already authorized, and that no law will be passed making even these a legal tender. At a future time, when a general resumption of specie payments shall have taken place over the country, which your committee believe will be at no distant day, and when the capacity of the nation for absorption of Government circulation shall bo apparent, a further Issue of demand notes may be gradually effected, without any of the disastrous consequences which would follow a sudden and tre mendous revolution of the currency at this delicate crisis of public affairs. In thus reporting satisfactory progress in the duties assigned to them, your committee may state that much labor yet romaine to be performed in con nection with the committees of Congress, and by their request, in assisting to mature the details of the arrangements for taxation. ft is believed they can be so devised as to bear very lightly on the pro ductive industry of the country, and yet to furnish an aggregate amount equal to the demands of the occasion. With economy in the public expenditure, and with a considerate retrenchment in our local taxa tion, which should bo the study of those In authori ty, your committee feel sure that the wealth and the loyalty of the people will prove amply sufficient to carry them triumphantly through this struggle, without inaugurating untried and much loss ex ploded theories for manufacturing a fiotitious pub lic credit. Your committee cannot forbear at this time ex pressing their fullest conviction of the sincere de sires of both committees of Congress to legislate solely for the real good of the country. And they would especially record the impression they have received in then various interviews with the Secre tary of the Treasury of his lofty integrity and singleness of purpose. It may not also bo out of place, in closing this re port, to refer to a most interesting and memorable interview which your committee, before leaving Washington, enjoyed- with the President of the United States. His frank explanation of the constitutional and conservative polloy of the Government' his state ment of the difficulties of his position between the extremes of political sentiment throughout the country , ; his unflinching determination to maintain the majesty of Law and the integrity of the Union, not only won the hearts and the sympathies, but commended themselves most emphatically to the judgment of your committee, and they left him with the full assurance that the interests and the honor of the nation are safe in his vigilant and faithful guardianship. In conclusion, your committee take occasion more formally to acknowledge the uniform courtesy and able co-operation of the gentlemen composing the delegation from the Boston Board of Trade, with whom they have felt it a pleasure and a privi lege to have been thus associated.
