The repng,nanCe of meet patients to COD-LIVES
OIL, and the inability of many to take it at all, has In
duced various forms of disguise for its administration
that are familiar to the Medical Profession. Some of
them answer in special cases, but more often the vehicle
neutralizes the usual effect of the Oil, proving quite as
unpalatable and of leas therapeutic value. The repug

Oil, is entirely obviated by the use of our CAPSULES.
COD-LITER OIL CAPSULES have been much used
lately in Europe, the experience there of the good re

A Wicked Bit of Slander
Give a dog a bad name, says the proverb,
and you may hang him. On this principle,
one Mr. JAMES Wilma, ex-alderman of Lon
don, and now a blatant member of the British
Parliament, lately made a speech to his con
stituents, at Brighton, and told them that Cap
tain WILKES, who stopped the Trent, and cap
tured 'SLIDELL and MASON, was a notoriously
bad man, with horrible antecedents—having
committed murder on the high seas, by hang
ing Midshipman SPENCER, on board the brig
Somers, in 1842, on a pretended charge of mu
tiny. Now, the person who did this, (and
was justificd'thcrefor, by a court of inquiry,
Consisting of Commodores CHARLES STEWART,
JACOB JONES, and DALLAS,) was Commander
ALEXANDER SLIDELL MACKENZIE,author of "A.
Year in Spain" and other popular books, who
died in September, 1848, aged forty-five. He
was a very dillbrent person from CHARLES
WILKES, commanding the San Jacinto when
the rebel Ambassadors were running away in
the British mail steamer Trent. Moreover,
Captain WILKES is world-famous as having
commanded the celebrated naval expedition
sent out by the United States to explore the
countries bordering on the Pacific and South
ern Oceans. From 1838 until June, 1842, he
was so occupied, and, in December, 1842,
when the execution of young SPENCER took
place, by order of SLIDELL MACKENZIE, Cap
tain WILKES was in New York, having re
linquished his naval command some five
months previously.
The London Times, four weeks ago, not
only copied WHITE'S monstrous identifica
tion of SLIDELL MACKENZIE with CHARLES
WILKES, but commented upon it, insinu
ating that the lives of MASON and SLIDELL
were "not safe in the hands of Captain
WILKES, formerly of the brig Somers." Al
though the character of ex=Aldernian WurrE,
M. P., must have been well known to The
Times, and though his doings and misdo
ings in the China trade had been roughly
spoken of in its 6 i city article," The Times
endorses, by adopting, his monstrous false
hood about Capt. WILEEs. The painful in
cident on board the Somers, in 1842, was talked
about and written about in all the principal jour
nals ofEurope—The Times leading off, we well
recollect, with an article vindicating SLIDELL
MACKENZIE. Moreover, in 1848, The Times
published his obituary, with comments of its
own. The antecedents of Captain WILKES
mast have been equally well known. The
Royal Geographical Society of London voted
him its gold medal for the discoveries he
had made during his Exploration expedition,
published in five volumes royal Bvo., and to be
found in every public library of note in Europe.
We are afraid that The Times, so well in
formed on most matters, has wilfully con
founded the dead commander of the brig Somers
with the living captain of the sloop-of-war San
Jacinto.
The fact happens to be, we believe, that
ALEXANDER SLIDELL MACKENZIE was brother
to the rebel Ambassador SLIDELL, lately pre
sented to Great Britain, as a natural and na
tional curiosity.
Mr. Cleveland's Analysis of Hamlet.
On Tuesday evening, at the Assembly Building,
Mr. Samuel M. Cleveland read and analyzed
Shakspeare's great play of Hamlet. Considering
the inclement weather he had a fair audience, and
in several particulars, the lecturer, if we may style
him as such, acquitted himself with decided credit.
His analysis of the melancholy prince—w nud e .
rious and misunderstood temperament, his moral
purity and idiosyncrasies of intellect, his procrasti
nation,.and will to hold his will in check, his lofty
and sometimes frenzied imagination, his love, his
gentleness, his habits of thought, and proneness to
retirement and Medittaioll..diatia suesuia4l. JoIM.
much skill, snowing industrious research, bold
thought, and a mind attuned to the metaphysical.
Mr. Cleveland is evidently convinced that in the
field of Shakspearian criticism there is a void that
ought to be occupied, and he is acting upon his
COnVietions, Fel' Whatever he gives us in these lee.
tures that is worth retaining, he deserves credit
for originality, the few critical opinions which he
borrows, being mainly introduced, either to con
trast with, or to corroborate his own. The com
mentators upon Shakspeare, in the English lan
guage, which be is willing to accept as such, are
Coleridge anal George Fletcher, the others who
have written upon the subject being regarded by
him as Shakspearian rhapsodists. With a mind
thoroughly alive to the beauties, and in some
degree the philosophy of poetry, he has not chosen
his department in the world of letters without na
tural qualificatlens. For several years he has been
a hard-working student, and the result of his stu.
dies, to a great extent, we now have presented in a
popular form in these lectures. The acquaintance
which be evinces with the Greek and Roman clas
sics, and with English literature, from Chaucer to
Tennyson, is, for one of his years, (being not yet
six and twenty,) remarkable.
Hamlet was characterized as the most important
character to the student in the entire range of
Eitlish literature. He must be Felt, rather than
2/Ade76 toed . This affords a good specimen of Mr.
C.'s mode of mental dissection. Again, we could
not get into this man from the outside ; to realize
Hamlet, was to be Hamlet. Hence, for his full
appreciation some experience was necessary, and
that by a heart susceptible of the highest imagina
tive effort, and that had alternately been uplifted
by hope and stung by despair. Although the exe
geses upon "Hamlet' were greater than had been
given to any other work, they were in the main
unsatNfactory. Considerable credit, however, was
given by the lecturer to the writings of German
authors, six of whom were named. These claimed
//am let to be the best exponent of the Teuton type ;
their more prominent points being epitomized by
the lecturer.
Mr. Cleveland's plan in Conducting these ana
lytical readings is, an introductory discussion of the
play to be considered ; then to read, dramatically,
from the play itself such portions as most effectively
present the hero of it, describing the scenes, and
carrying along the dialogue of the minor characters
in such a way , as to keep up the connection with
out running into tediousness. 'Having placed a
scene distinctly before his audience, reared it up,
as it were, before their imagination, he leaves the
picture upon the easel, if we may use tho figure,
and proceeds to analyze it. In doing this,
however. he commits the error—which he might
easily and ought to correct—of pronounc
ing his own commentary in ~the same
dramatic style in which he roads the play: It
may be said that what can be called good reading
in the one case, cannot be objeotionable in the
other; nevertheless, nine auditors out of every ten
would decide otherwise. That we are warranted
in this remark was plainly indicated on Tneaany
evening, when, in one or two instanoes, he apparent
ly forgot himself and spoke naturally. The relief
was gratifying, and the contrast between his easy,
conversational style then, and the stiff, not to say
presumptuous, manner of hie lectures in the main,
was manifestly appreciated.
Speaking of Hamlet, in the presence of the King
and courtiers, the lecturer said that the "inky
cloak " of the sorrowful prince contrasted not more
strongly with the gaiety and glitter of the court
around him, than did his own pure soul with the
phosphorescence and corruption which underlay its
surface. From what follows in the play, the ten
dencies of Hamlet's mind to glance off from subject
to subject, parenthetically—his readiness for men
tal transitions—his powers to display geniality and
bitter sarcasm, were finely evolved. It could, said
Mr. C., not be too earnestly insisted upon that
Hamlet's was no burly, butcher temperament; but
on the contrary, one of great culture and refine
ment, that trembled at the lightest thought that
floated in upon his soul from other worlds. In this
connection, the lecturer made the assertion, that
the more a man thinks, with the less energy and
courage will he act.
Villa regard to hamlet's assumed insanity, it
must, he mid, be felt iv haw drcit, natal al aunder
the circumstances, or it could not be intelligible to
any one. The superiority of Hamlet's mind over
his fellow-students, and the conscious depth of pur
pose felt by the former, was sketched with a mas
terly stroke in his celebrated words : " There are
more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are
dreamt ef in your phlicsoidiy," The idea had
plainly been, that for his purpose it was necessary
for him to be con.tidered mad, and not, as Mr. Hud
son maintained, that Hamlet foresaw that he would
often be thrown in that state by circumstances
over which he had no control.
We cannot conclude this notice without express.
ing our conviction that, notwithstanding some im
material defects. Mr. Cleveland's lectures can be
hoard? with profit by all students of Shakspeare.
His readings of the great poet vary in merit, it is
true, which is ndt surprising, in view of the diffi
culty whigi must always attend a rendition in quiek
succession of different dramatis persons by the
same individual. No,flexibility of voice or agility of
manner can hope to pass through a long ordeal of
this kind without disadvantage. The same eherse•
ter will be resemed on next Tuesday morning.

GENERAL BUELL'S DFPARTMENT.
Latest front Col. Garlic Command—
Eastern Kentucky not to be Abandoned
Again—The Brigade Going into Win
ter Quarters—Humphrey./Ilarshall Stuck
in the Gap.
Col. Garfield's headquarters are established at
Paintville, on the Big Sandy. It was found incon
venient to move up to Prostonburg, on accdunt of
the difficulty of procuring forage in that wild moun
tain country; and the nearer the brigade keeps to
the Ohio, the easier is the transportation up the Big
Sandy.
It is understood to be the intention that Col. Gar
field's force will spend the winter in Eastern Ken
tucky. The presence of our troops there is neces
sary to prevent rebel incursions through the Pound
Gap, until the advauee of our armies in Kentucky
and Southwestern Virginia shall cut off their access
to that region. We tried leaving Eastern Ken
tucky unprotected, under Gen. Sherman's regime,
and with Humphrey Marshall's invasion as the re
sult then, the experiment can hardly be Worth re
penting.
The troops Are AM airlfig in tents, Mid find it
rather exposed this winter weather, but they expect
to build log huts soon.
Humphrey Marshall is stated to have brought up
at Pound Gap, while a portion of his command is
collecting again at a point near the Gap, in South
western Virginia, Some of their straggling bands
are still rooming through the mountains, near the
line, and this they will probably continue to do as
long as they can find subsistence for thii stealing.
But Colonel Garfield's position at Paintville
effectually bars their entrance into the cultivated
portion of the State. Their wandering parties
eherish a high respect for our forces, and never
venture out of the mountains within striking dis
tance from our posts.
There is no shooting of pickets, or "bushwhack
lug" by the citizens, and all profess gratitude at
being relieved from the invasion, and broght un
der the protection of the old flag once more.
Among the forces that now seem thus destined to
spend the winter on the Big Sandy, are : ,Colonel
Garfield's Forty-second and Colonel Cremes For
tieth Ohio, two companies of McLaughlin's Ohio
cavalry, and Colonel Corcoran's Fourteenth and
Colonel Lindsay's Twenty-second Kentucky.
The Battle of Webb's Cross Roads.
The Cincinnati Commercial says : The place
where Gen. Zollicoffer was defeated and killed is
known through southern Kentucky as Web's Cross
Roads, and the battle should be called ,tzx that
name. Mill Springs is nearly ten miles distant,
and on the other side of the Cumberland Ayer. A
part of the engagement took plane in a field known
In the neighborhood as " the Old Field," and hence
the suggestion that the battle should be called the
battle of Old Fields. But there is no doubt that
" Webb's Cross Roads " is the place that mould
glee newel°. the battle.

that one hundred and fourteen rebels had been
buried up to a certain hour, has led the public,
prone to expect exaggeration, to believe that the
figure represented the extent of the loss of the ene
my in killed. We are, however, assured from re
sources that we believe entirely reliable, that not
less than three hundred rebels were left dead on
the ground, The official report of Gen. behoepff s
brigade surgeon states that one hundred and ninety
dead rebels were buried on Monday. A gentleman
of this city writes that two hundred and eighty
three dead bodies of rebels were found. Another,
who was on the ground, informs us that he counted
eighty-five dead rebels in the old field, and that
they were lying thick in the underbrush in every
direction. We are convinced that the rebel loss in
killed was very nearly, if not altogether, three
hundred. Various statements are made of the num
ber of horses and mules taken. The evidence is
that at least fifteen hundred fell into our hands.
For sonic time the fighting was close and despe
rate. Just before the Tenth Indiana was supported,
the veherneriee of the contest was most remarkable.
The rebels were pressing on with much resolution,
fierce and confident, thinking that they had an in
ferior force before them. They were not in fair
battle order, but swarmed in the woods like In
dians, though keepinff in line and whooped like
savages, The Tenth Indiana stood their ground,
and though in some confusion, theirfaees were all
toward the enemy, and the crash of rifles was in
cessant, while the smoke formed a heavy sulphur
fog. The Indianians and Mississippians were for a
time within twenty yards of each other, and there
was no sign of flinching on either side_
The great scene of the battle was when the
Second Minnesota and the Ninth Ohio appeared in
good order sweeping through the field. The Second
Minnesota, from its position in the colamn, was
closest to the centre of the fight and the heaviest
of the enemy's fire. They were the first troops
that used the bayonet, and the btyie in which they
went into • the fight is the theme of enthusiastic
comment throughout the army. The Ninth Ohio
were next to the Minnesota in getting into the fight.
They were not behind the Minnesota men, but on
their right, and had a little farther to march as
they wheeled into the field. They came up in bet
tor order than the Minnesotaor any other regitrient
had done. They were as exactly kiln° when they
made the grand decisive rush With the bayonet as
if upon holiday parade, and moved like invincible
veterans. Their gallant colonel, "Bob" McCook,
galloped about through the whistling rifle balls,
and directed his men not only with perfect disregard
of personal exposure but with very good judgment.
When the Ninth Ohio made their bayonet charge
the rebels were behind a fence, which was built
upon a row of logs and made a fair breastwork.
The rebels stood until the " bully Dutchmen"
overthrew the rails with their bayonets. Then
they fled, the (ierman regiment after them at a
high rate of speed.
The severity of the fighting may be reckoned
from the fact that in places the underbrush, with
which the woods were filled, was cut down by the
storm of balls. There were thickets in which not
a stick could he discovered that was not shattered
by balls.
After the rebel attack was repulsed, they soon
lost all organization, and fled through the woods
helter-skelter. Our troops pursued with over
whelming energy, literally crushing the under
growth under their headlong columns. The rebels
were apparently utterly panic-stricken upon re
turning to their entrenchments. They were intent
only upon getting away, and their flight was more
astonishing and appalling in its abandon. than the
famous advance from Bull Run upon Washington.

Reinforcement of General Thomas.
The Oincirmail Commercial says
A week ago this morning the defeated army of
Gen. Zollicoffer, without arms or baggage, ran
away from Mill Spring, and our victorious troops
possessed their fortifications, artillery, baggage
train, stores, and arms. We do not know precisely
how well the time has been improved. We efe
as
sured that the roads are in such a condition that,
without a great improvement in the weather, an
advance in force is impossible. We are informed,
however, that nine Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky
regiments have, during the week, reinforced Gen.
Thomas, so that he now has an army of more than
twenty thousand effective men. This obviously
means business. We must be patient, and have a
right to expect exceedingly important operations
through the great gap made in the enemy's lines,
when the weather will permit. ' -

ANNYETY TO FOLLOW UP TILE BLOW ON LOLLI•
A general order upon Zollicoffer's defeat was is•
sued from headquarters yesterday. The rejoicing
among officers and soldiers was universal ; and had
the command been given, "Forward to Nash
ville," every man would have seized his arms
with the utmost alacrity, confidence, and enthu
siasm, If these two advance divisions of the Union
army are not allowed to inflict upon Johnston and
Buckner (especially the latter) the fate which has
recently overtaken Zolliooffer, they will fool, for a
time at least, that they are deprived of their just
due.
Another Intimation that Bowling Green
may be Evacuated.
The rout of Zollicoffer leaves the right wing of
the enemy exposed, while his left is threatened in
So many ways that he knows not how to ward off
the danger. A host, whose numbers I must not
even guess at, has gathered, and is still gathering,
upon his front ; the different columns of our army
are converging towards him ; and ere many weeks
have passed, his chosen position must either be.
taken or turned. Let the country not be surprised
if, after all his preparation, he finds himself com
pelled to retreat from Bowling Green without dar
ing to hazard a battle, or without the opportunity
of lighting one in the manner which he desires.
An Escape—Sutferings of the Union
People
Lieutenants Chandler and Van Pelt, of Loomis'
battery, have returned from sireconnoissanee which
they have been making. in the direction of Co
lumbia. They were gone four days, returning by
way of Campbellsville. A couple of couriers, who
came back to report their progress, were attacked
on the way by about a dozen men, who rushed upon
them suddenly from an ambuscade. In the confu
sion which ensued, one of the couriers loat his horse,
but made his way back on foot. When they re
turned to camp and reported the attack upon them,
the impression generally prevailed that the two
lieutenants and thcir eacivrt must have been made
prisoners, and a company of cavalry was sent out
to look them up. But Chandler and Van Pelt had
get back to headquarters before the cavalry came
up with them.
They found that the Union people between Man
fordsville and Greensburg were very much harassed
by incursions of small parties of the enemy, who
are collected at Glasgow to the number of twenty
five hundred. The most of these are Texan Ran
gers, most lawless banditti, who are, in fact, a ter
ror to all classes of the people wherever they go,
plundering and stealing whenever they can find a
particle of movable property to lay their hands on,
whether it belongs to Union men or Secessionists.
Those who are loyal to the Government are some
what disposed to complain that troops are not sent
for their protection. Let them endure in patience
a little longer. When the great fountain-head of
thievery at Bowling Green is cut off, the streams
flowing thence will at once dry up. As long as the
fountain remains the streams could only be tempo
rarily suppressed, or turned into other channels.
A ..soldier's Letter About the Battle near
Somerset.
The Cincinnati Commercial obtained from a
soldier and gentleman now stopping at the Burnet
House ; who has been over the field of battle, the
following very clear statement of facts :
CINCINNATI, Jan. 26, 1862.
EDITORS COMMERCIAL : There are so many re
ports in regard to our late victory in Kentucky,
that I will, with your permission, give you the '
lending facts in a nutthell,
The fight commenced about daylight. The rebels
had about seven thousand men. Those engaged on
our part were Wolford's Cavalry, the Tenth In
diana, Ninth Ohio, Fourth Kentucky, Second Min
ntsota, and a few of the First East Tennessee, who
broke ranks and pitched in. The rebel force was
at least twice as large as that we had in the
engagement. .
The fight lasted till about ten o'clock. For a
time it was one of desperation. The Mississippians
and a part of a rebel Tennessee regiment fought
for half an hour hand to hand with the Ninth Ohio,
Second Alinnceota, and a part of the Tenth Indiana,
and only fled when our brave boys made a bayonet
charge, which resulted in great destruction to the
rebels, and caused them to start for "Dixie."
The killed on the part of the rebels was about
three hundred ; wounded, something near the same ;
and some two hundred prisoners fell into our hands.
We lost thirtpseven killed; about one hundred
wounded; 1,780 horses and mules were captured;
some three hundred wagons; fourteen hogsheads of
sugar; a large lot of coffee; " about 20,000 pounds
of pork ; sixteen pieces of artillery ; all their camp
and garrison equipage; a great number of blank
ets, and other quartermaster and commissary stores;
and just how many staled of small arms it is impos
sible to tell. We have a pile ten feet in diameter,
and are still finding them.
They fled in the greatest confusion. " Many were
drowned, and others tore off their clothes to swim
the river, and were seen ten miles beyond, - stand
ffizted, running like wild man ! They had noble
breastworks, and a splendid encampment. On Mon

the soldiers were about to mob Crittenden, and one 'I

To conclude, it is impossible to conceive of the
extent of this victory. After all the powers of the
tongue and pen have been employed to convey the
result, the half has not been told nor imagined.
After I saw the whole thing, examined minutely
the scene, and retired from the place, and the ex

I had been lost in the reveries of imagination, and
there was nothing real in it. It cannot be dir-'

1 NEWS FROM THE SOUTH.
The Spring Campaign of the Rebels.
RE-ENLISTMENTS.
[From the Memphis Appeal, January 164
As we have before intimated, ono more battle
may possibly be fought on our northern frontier,
when the contending forces will be compelled,
within cannon-sound of each other, to retire until
spring to winter-quarters. In the meantime pre
parations will be in progress for the organization of
our national army, preliminary to entering upon
the spring and summer campaign. It were fool
hardy and unwise to conceal the fact that the pro
foundest statesmen on the Confederacy entertain
grave apprehensions on the subject of re-enlist
ment, involving results, as we believe ? pregnant
with weal or woe to the Republic. We would be re
creant to our duty as a candid and outspoken jour
nal, were we to fail to expose the peril of the future
connected with this matter, which must be avoided
by the combined wisdom of public legislation and
the patriotism of the people.
Our ship of state has so far escaped the dangers
of the rude storm whose hurricane blasts have
raged so furiously for the last nine months, and has
safely entered a calm and quiet sea beneath a sky
that is almost cloudless. But reefs and breakers
are yet ahead, and woe be to the pilots in charge of
the helm should they fail to see, or seeing, not re
gard them. When these perils are ioassed, as we
believe they will be, and without which foreign re
cognitions and broken blockades aro mere nihility,
our independence already achieved can be main
tained against an invading army of more than a
million of men.
But we must have a large and effective army for
the attainment of this end, which can never be or
lime, unless nine-tertas o/' the
volunteers now in service will re-enlist. When
the necessities of the Government become known,
and the fact is understood that their country now ap
peals to them for their services, as sole conserve
tors of the national ark that has been rescued from
the polluting bandit of a vandal enemy, will our
volunteer soldiery fail to respond? 'Twere a base
calumny upon their patriotism, if it is not high
treason, to harbor the suspicion that they would not.
It is not in consonance with the spirit of a brave
people like our own to dishonorably capitulate in a
struggle which has been crowned with victory upon
victory, at a period when the morning of their
future giyes tokens of breaking so brightly. We
have totted and labored in all the agonies of na
tional parturition for the last year ; we have sacri
ficed valuable lives by the sword and by disease ;
rent in twain a monstrous usurpation, and as
tabliehed upon its broken debris the new experi
ment of a Republican Government. All Europe,
as is acknowledged by the organ of the British party
in power—the London Post—looks upon our sub-
T'gation as " a tried and proved impossibility."
he foreigneomplications and troubles of the enemy
are thickening, and we are daily looking for the in
telligence of our national recognition by foreign
Powers.
Manufactures in Arkansas.
The Little Rock True Democrat furnishls the
following particulars of the progress of mauufac•
tures in Arkansas :
There is a tobacco factory at Bentonville, in Ben
ton county, which is said to be a paying institution.
The tobacco crop is getting to be an important one
in the northwest. There is a large cotton factory
in Washington county. The cotton factory at Van
Buren is a large affair, and in addition to spindles
has cards for wool. Mr. Tobey, of Norristown,
Pope county, hes, or will soon have, his cotton fac
tory in operation. There is, also, a cotton factory
in Pike county. In Newton county they have
large saltpetre works, and are turning put large
quantities. In Independence, and perhaps other
counties, there are fine saltpetre caves which arc
being worked. The rich lead mines in Newton
county ' are rudely worked. The Bellah mines,
in Sevier county, are also yielding lead. We are
told there is copper in that region, and sul
phur and sulphUne acid can be made there.
Salt is made on White river and down near the
Louisiana line. The salt works on the Ouachita are
in the hands of enterptising men. There is an un.
limited supply of brine, and we are told that
Messrs. Marley St Co. have commenced boiling and
makiug salt. They have a foundry at Camden
which turns out cannon, and sent a battery, under
command of Captain Reed, to Oak Hills. We have
two foundries in Little Rock, one of which furnish.
ed grapeshot for the army. At Hopefiold, opposite
Memphis, the machine shop of the Memphis and
Little Rock Railroad has been turned into an
armory, and is altering and repairing guns, ite.
Several extensive tanneries have been started at
various points in the State, whereat hides are tan
ned by the process lately discovered. The Messrs.
Dyer, of this city, have a soap and candle factory in
operation. At the Arsenal there is an armory un
der the control of the confederacy, but the neces
sary machinery has not yet arrived. "The Arian.
sas penitentiary has turned out gun carriages, cais-
sons, wagons, boots, shoes, clothing, and many other
things needed for the army. A manufactory of
coal oil is in progress on the Ouachita river. These
are all enterprises that occur to ea while writing ;
but there are, doubtless, others. We would be
glad to have a full list of these manufactures and
enterprises in operation, or under way. We know
that several are in contemplation, but the continual
low state of water in the Arkansas and other rivers
Las prevented the bringing machinery to clegrod
points. Will our correspondents be kind enough
to advise us of any now manufactures started or
existing in their counties? While on this subject
we may remark that there is good coal ut several
points on the upper Arkansas, in Perry, Johnson,
Franklin, and Sebastian counties. In some pima
it is immediately on the river bank, and when the
river rises we expect the coal trade will become an
important one, provided the river rises before cold
weather ceases.
A Stimulating Appeal to Secession
Volunteers.
One of the soldier correspondents of the Mary.
Rena News-Letter sends to that paper from
Fredericksburg the following appeal to the troops
of the Acquia Department, which he says has had
the most stimulating effect upon his brethren in
arms in that section :
HEADQUARTERS ACcoask DISTRICT, /
January 11, 1802.
UENBRAL ORDERS, No. ll.—The major general
commanding this district urges upon the troops the
importance of re-enlistment for three years, or the
war, so soon as the rolls are presented to them for
thaipurpose. Nobly as our people have resisted
the aggressions of the enemy, groat as are the sacri
floes which have been made by all, the present
Indications do not justify the belief that cur
struggle is near its end. It would be wicked to
disguise' the truth—we have to contend against
a powerful and wealthy nation—possessing vast
resources for war—with an immense army al
ready occupying our territory and our strong
places—with an active navy closing our porta,
and with a Tit(*) people maddened by battled
hatred. The Northern army now in our front
will in a few months be efficiently organized
and well disciplined. Its able commander craftily
and surely bides the time when the term of enlist
ment of our troops expires as the propitious mo
ment for his advance. Ile believes he will then
find our ranks thinned, our corps disorganized, and
that he can pour his legions over our weakened bat
talions, and triumphantly execute upon our unde
fended country the,behests of the despotic advo
cates of emancipation, who have inspired this horrid
war.
Our existence as a nation, the defence of our
horses, and the honor of our women, forbid its to lao
laggards now.
It is the solemn duty of every man to dedicate
himself to his country, until every foot of Southern
soil is purged of the pollution of invasion,
until this
war is ended. We dare not for one moment relax our
vigilance or lay aside our arms until we have dis-
charged this sacred duty.
By order of Major General Holmes.
DABNEY H. MAURY, A. A. G.
Still Further From Kentucky—Crittenden
Reinforced and Falling Back.
The Knoxville TVkis-, of the 25th says:
Large reinforcements of eavalry have bean sent
from this city to Gen. Crittenden, and a battery of
artillery is ready to move. The most of the reports
of the battle first received seem to have been much
exaggerated.
Two guns of Monsaratt's battery being on this
side of the river were saved. Gen. Crittenden
made but a dirt stead at Monticello, and then fell
back to Camp McGinnis, and may fall still further
back, in order to collect those of his force who are
scattered, Accounts brought in by the new arrivali
are very conflicting.
Captain Shirts, of the engineers, gives the follow
ing statement of the battle
On last Saturday night, Gen. Crittenden and
forces marched out to meet the enemy on Fishing
Creek, eleven miles distant. They met the enemy
lying in ambush, just at the dawning of the day,
when Gen. Zollicoffer, who was in front, gave the
order for an attaek. Col. Staunton cried out, "for
gcla r § glike 49113 fire—they are our friends," the
Schoelflites helloing for Jeff Davis. Simultane
ously the enemy fired, shooting Gen. Z.ellicotler iii
the heart and killing him instantly. Ito spoke but
twice—his last words were, "Go on, go on, my
brave boys, I am killed !" On parting with his
trusty servant at midnight, he shook. hands, end
remarked that they would probably meet no more.
Col. Battle's and Cummings', and the Fifteenth
Mississippi ,Regiments fought bravely, saving our
forces from annihilation. Gens. Crittenden and
Carroll were in the engagement the whole time,
evincing great courage and determination. The
musy were repulsed several times,
Federal Legislation.
(From the Memphis Argus, January U.]
We are every day celled upon to record the far
cical freaks of Federal legislation, that transpire in
the Lincoln Congress, as a part of the extraordinary
history of the times. The bills proposing the indis
criminate confiscation of Southern property and
the disfranchisement of Southern citizens have
beerr already alluded to by us as measures of atro
city such as no truly civilized and Christian nation
could endorse. We notice, from the late Northern
papers, that this pretended right of legislation for
the Confederate States is still claimed by the Wash
ington Parliament, and that we are to have a happy
exemplification of it in a bill which one Mr. Hutch
ins. of Ohio, has announced that he will soon intro
duce into the lower house of that august body.
This measure very humanely proposes that the
enlightened and Christian North smell assume com
plete control over the ignorant and barbarous
South, reducing all her States to the condition of a
territorial or provincial government, and then im
mediately abolish slavery within their limits. This
is another specimen of that wild and ferocious fa
'Deficient which has seized on the Northern mind
aims the twat' bega—a fanaticism which neither
thinks, nor hears, nor sees, but feels, and raves, and
burns. xi ,engrebs pazouo wh,,ch is .a
more violent form of the bill introduced by benut,,--
Baker last fall into the upper house of that body;
the world may well regard it as an imitation of the
vile and unmitigated iron despotism which Russia
once maintained over Poland, and Austria over
Hungary. nut, happily for the South, the issue is
not now one of legislation, but of the sword—not
one of the ballot, but of the bayonet. The more
violent and ultra the measures introduced into the
Lincoln Congress, the deeper the gulf between the
Northern and Southern people for all future time.

Interesting from Pensacola—Disbandment
of Alabama Troops—Mortality among
the Troops.
[Correspondence of the Mobile Advertiser and Register.]
WAREltcaro i Florida, Jan, 17,1883.
About three days ago nearly a dozen negroes es
caped from Pensacola to Fort Pickens in a small
boat. There was negligence, of course, or it could
not have happened. A white man is under arrest
upon the charge of assisting them off. This is the
second recent escape from our lines. During the
Christmas, I believe it was, or just before it, eight
marines escaped, in open daylight, from the navy
yard. They had spiked the only two guns that
could be brought to hear upon them. Those marines
are very " bad eggs." One of their officers deserted
and another was convicted by court martial of gross
-misconduct, and dismissed the service.
The First . Alabama Regiment was the very first
regiment in the Confederate service, and the first
in the field. It is, therefore, the first of the twelve
months troops to go out. Two companies--Capts.
Clarke's and Mabry's, from Barbour county—were
discharged yesterday. On the 9th of February two
other companies—Capt. Smith's, formerly Capt.
Baker's, from Barbour, and Vapt, Ra l / 1 3ay's, from
Wilcox—go out. On the 13tis, Capt. Dawson's,
from Pike. On the 20th, Capt. Posey 's, from Mo
bile, and on the 23th, Capt. Wood's, from Pike.
The remaining companies go out in March. Great
efforts have been made to Induce the gallant First
Alabama to re-enlist. They were poorly success
fed, except the last one, a few days ago, which has
been partially successful. It seemed as if it would
break Gen. Bragg's heart to part with the First
Alabama.
Last week he attended one of their dress parades,
and made a speech to the regiment. His appeals
Were Strong and earnest, and hard to resist. lie
said that he would rather have one such regiment
of veterans than three regiments of raw troops.
Duringthat day an effort was made to reorganize
the regiment. Three companies—Captains Clarke's,
Smith's, and Posey's—declined to reorganize in this
regiment. The seven other companies furnished a
small number each, about 250 in all. This number
will probably be increased to 300 or 350 men in a
few days. It is expected then to fill up the regi
ment by recruits. Thus the First Alabama saves
its name and its nominal existence. Besides the
250 who have re-enlisted in the regiment, SO hare
re-enlisted in other corps. The remainder will
go home, but most of them intend to re-enter the
service at other points and in new corps. They
wish to taste for a while the joys and comforts of
home. The great objection to re-enlisting here and
now is the idea that 1139 regiment is doomed to stay
at this place, of which all are heartily tired. They

Affairs at Cairo
[Special Despatch to the Chicago Tiniee.]
CAIRO, .Ul., Jan. 25.-6everal gentlemen who
arrived here to-day from Commerce, Missouri, re
port that Jeff Thompson had made his appearance
again at that place.
The citizens were notified on Monday of his com
ing, and the women and children left the town, and
those that could not cross the river to Illinois are
scattered among the farm houses in the adjacent
woods.
Thompson threatens to burn Commerce in re
venge for being balked in
. bis attempt to burn the
steamboat City of Alton.
He has recently been at Prices Landing, and
probably his force was the one which fired on the
steamer D. A, January the other day.
Thompson, it is supposed, loft Commerce to-day,
after having, for the third time, cleaned out the
town.
This time, it is said, he made a clean sweep,
taking everything he, could carry off. His force

he got in his lato trip to Memphis, augmented by
his lately-diseharged men, who follow him, know
ing that where he is there is plunder. Thompson
has also some cannon.
Which way Thompson went after leaving Com
merce je unknown; but a forte of 2,000 troops,
consisting ofportions of the Eighth, Eleventh, and
Twentieth Infantry, and the Seventh Cavalry, left
Bird's Point to-day after him, but probably so far
after him that he will escape.
*The people of Commerce are all Unionists, and
have suffered everything during the rebellion.
They prayed Fremont for protection, but their
prayers wore not neard. Probably protection will
now be sent them ; but it is not necessary, as they
have nothing loft to protect.
Mrs. Everson, the heroine of the City of Alton,
affair, was the last person to leave the town. It will
be remembered she warned Capt. Barnes, of the
it/to;k, of Thompson's presence in Commerce, de
spite his threats, and thereby saved the boat. She
remained at Commerce yesterday until Thompson
had got into town. In the meantime her husband
took a sick soldier across the river, and, as the
skiff would hold buttwe, she remained behind, but,
before he returned, had to escape to the woods.
It is strange that the Union men in Missouri do
not inform the commandant here of the approach
of 210111MM:1, instead of waiting until he has corn=
raffled his depredations ; when it is too Isle to catch
him.
Seven of the barges composing the lintoon train
at Paducah passed here last night, and lodged at
Island Number One. They will be towed up to
morrow.
The expedition which left Bird's Point on Friday
returned last night, having accomplished nothing
and seen nothing.
The Fiftieth Illinois arrived to-night from St. Jo
seph, Mo. ; they will probably go to Smithland.
A man named Powers was found murdered this
morning on the Ohio levee. No clue of the mur
derer has been discovered.

The movements of the last few days as to the
course that Gen. Hunter would take in regard to

citizens with the most lively interest.
It has been felt that the condition and future
course of the loyal Indians was a matter of the most
vital importance. Without means of information.

Hunter the recent terrible events he had gone
through.
The danger of remaining in their own country
becoming fearful, John Ross, calling himself a
Union man, had told the loyal Indians to go on to
the Cherokee lands They followed his advice,
and were attacked the first niht after reaching the
camping - grounds designated "by itoss, When the
Union Indians—only 2,ooo—were attacked by the
rebel Indians and Texans—more than 3,ooo—they
fought like tigers. The Unionists followed the
rebels five miles, and slaughtered the villains as
they fled.
The Union Indians then changed their camp and
again took the position designated by SlSli24Reee,
The next day, our forces being strengthened and
remaining the same, were attacked by rebel In
dians under Mclntosh and Drew, and Texans and
Arkansans under General Cooper, and the rebels
were again defeated and driven back, leaving fifty:
five rebels deed en the field. WO rc el prisonira
taken in these two engagements were " despatched"
with arrows.
The Union Indians thenfell back to the northern
boundary of the Cherokee Nation, and there re
mained unmolested for two days.
Oa the third day, while a large number of the
Union Indians were out seeking provisions for the
destitute families, they were again attacked by an
increased force—not less than 4.000 in all.
Tho battle commenced at ten o'clock in the
morning and lasted till night, the Union Indians
maintaining their position. Their ammunition be
ing entirely enectned, Opetheychcio ordered a re
treat to Kansas.
The Union Indians having a large number of wo
men and children, and all being on foot, the retreat
was necessarily slow. The retreat, as described by
the chief, was truly heart-rending-
They were poorly provided with clothing ; all
Suffered greatly, many were frozen to death, but
the fatality among women and children was much
the greatest.
Since the arrival of these persons a large number
of their friends have followed them, and there are
now not less than 6,000 Men, women, and children
on our southern border.
Provisions, I ?lank.Qta l mom to buy beef - Cattle'

The American Question in Europe
ECLLSII TRADE WITII THE REBELS T 1 LL ORK-
G /P 4 MEECH . ANTS WON'T /ME AT SECESSION
BAIT-NO IMMEDIATE HOPES FOR RECOONIT/ON,
[Flom the Richmond Enquirer.]
RICHMOND, December 20,.1841.
I avail myself of an opportunity to write you a
few words upon the condition of matters in Europe.
I regret that the very limited time I litiVe 1.440
me will compel me to be brief, and I fear very un
methodical in style. When I left Richmond, in
June last, there was a very general expectation that
the manufacturing necessities of England and
France would force them to a speedy recognition
and interference with the Federal blockade_ There
was, too. en equally coadtat Impression that the
commercial enterprise of England would spring at
once to the enjoyment of the high prices the block
ade established by sending forward cargoes of
arms, munitions, medicines, and other stores most
needed in the Confederacy.
-
The first thing I learned`after my arrival was the
great error of these expectations. Immediately on
getting to London, I endeavored to start some ship
ments to the Confederate States that had been sug
gested by certain parties from whom I carried
messages, but soon found it uphill work. Trade is
nowhere so perfeetly systematized-1- might almost
say, channelized—as in England. All their com
mercial operations run in grooires, established by
the customs of centuries, from which it is almost
impossible to divert it. So long as it is kopt within
these grooves, John Bull will trade as boldly and
promptly and cheaply as any one, but will not go
out of the sphere of legitimate traffic.
When I told them of hundred per cent. profits,
they said, «ten per cent. without risk, or even five,
and we are your men; but no range of piofits,
however high, will tempt us to risk uncertainties.'
1 1145414119 allure t.ficii 541119 111914115 ago know what
untiring efforts we made for this purpose, but I am
sorry to say without the success we confidently an
ticipated. This matter, however, shows signs of
continual improvement, and I hope the channels
of trade will be soon opened. I can say, however,
that powerful combinations of money and enter
rrbe Ake already formed to f p into operation in
connection with direct Southern trade as soon as
peace is established. I flatter myself that the at
tention I have given these matters at home for tho
last ten years enabled me to be of some service in
assisting to get up these combinations, a fact which
I hope to make duly manifest at au early day.
The fallaey of popular expectations la FidoNio
to speedy recognition and interference with the
blockade was even more strongly apparent, and
should, in my opinion, be taken into account in
simple justice to the Confederate Commissioners in
Europe. The difficulties in the way of a speedy
interference on the part of England and France, I
consider, among other things, to have been
First. The fact that both of those Governments
are eminently conservative, which, coupled with
the tact of both posses§ing important colonial pos.
sessions, made them naturally cautious in en
couraging innovations on the existing status of
nations, and of encouraging a disposition to revolu
tion that might be turned against them in some day
of future trials of their own. Again, a violent
change in America was naturally inductee of simi
tor changes in Europe, which, in their conservative
character, they wished to too avoided.

Second. A prevalent impression among nearly all
classes that the difference between North and South
would be speedily settled, either by a peaceful di
vision of the late Union or a peaceful reconstruction.
In a natural ignorance of the American question,
they could not understand why this straggle was
commenced or why it should continue—especially
when its continuance was sure to be materially
destructive. " they argued, " this thing he
soon settled peacefully—and soon it must—it is
our policy to continue relations that would insure
to hngland and France the trade and good-will of
either section."
Third, A very general fear among these parti
cularly friendly to the South that she would' be
overrun and conquered, in which case they said
4 ‘ we should find a difficulty on our hands from
interference, which would be anything but advan
tageous or agreeable." The fear was greatly
strengthened by the fact that during the winter 150
many of the Southern people, And espscrelly 1 4 ow
border States, showed so much repugnance to the
breaking up of the Union, and the reports con
stantly published by the Northern press of the
divisions among the Southern people, and the
strong Union element which it was said would Ma
rise and overthrow the new Government.
Fourth. The influence of the old national policy
of England, especially to encourage within her
own borders en independence in the monopoly of
manufacturing staples. England Ltss made herself
the great banking-house of the world by her mem
moth manufacturing system. A part of this was
the manipulation of cotton, upon which five mil
lions of her people and a large portion of her com
mercial supremacy were dependent. /ler utter de
pendence upon America for this st6pl6 has lo ng
been a terrible thorn in her side. But for the
happy conjunction of soil, climate, and slave labor
in the Southern States, she felt that her own• colo
nies could defy all nations in the cheap production
of cotton, and that thus adding a virtual monopoly
of cheap manufacture to a monopoly of production
she could have the entire oaten trade pf the world
in her own hands. It was not surprising, therefore,
that a large and influential portion of her people
and press should hail tbo trouble as the precursor
of ruin to slavery, and as such a means of putting
this great power exclusively into her' own hands.
While, therefore, this party secretly encogragaa the
Southern revolution as a means of mutual destruct.
tion to a power they both hated and feared, they
were very careful not to have the Government
committed to any policy which, by a speedy end
ing of the war and a restoration of prosperity to
the South, would be totally destructive of their
long - cherished drellAlS of it general English mono.
poly, both in the production and manufacture of
this most important article.
Fifth, and the last, in this hurried letter, is the
Abolition element of England and her people. It is
not to be disguised that Abolitionism at the outset
of the war was the prevailing sentiment of the
British nation. I have just explained how it was
looked upon as a direct foe to her naiad and twat
cherished policy. But added to this powerful ap-
peal was a genuine hatred and horror of this insti
tution. This sentiment, planted by the labors of
Wilberforce and Clarkson, and of late years by the
active fanaticism of many of her most powerful
writers, preachers, and politicians, stimulated by
the artful and insinuating fictions of writers of }far
riot Beecher Stowe order, and in total ignorance of
the mitigating features which have made America
the greatest possible boon to the African, had grown
not only the general, but the active and determined
sentiment of the People. It is true that many of
the strongest Abolitionists have been pitching into
the Lincoln Government. but it Wet from anything
but a friendly motive to the South, and constituted
an influence frojn which anything advantageous t,"
her cause could be expected.
