AT FREDERICK BROWN'S, Northeast corner of FIFTH and CHESTNUT Streets, Philadelphia This Remedy is a safe and simple preparation from the receipt of the late distinguished Professor 'Stutter, with whom it was a favorite prescription. That ho used it in his extensive practice, insures to the timid a certain proof of its pure and innoxions elements, and to those who know his character for skill and careful attention, to prescribe only such remedial agents as should secure restoration without producing subsequent evil, it will be welcomed as a reel good. Under the guidance of a Phy sician (to whom its combination will unhesitatingly be made 'known), it will always be found very beneficial, and in cases where a medical adviser is not at hand, it may be tissed with ruddy-, according to the directions, In encases of short or tong duration.

The repugnance of most patients to COD-LIVER OIL, and the inability of Rimy to take it at all, bas 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 lose therapeutic value. The repug nance, nausea, Sc., to invalids, induced by disgust of the Oil, la entirely obviated by the nee of our CAPSULES. VOMITER OIL CAPSULES have been much wad lately in Europe, the experience there of the good re. mita from their nee in both hospital and private practice, aside from the naturally suggested advantaged, are coef ficient to warrant our claiming the virtues we do for Lhem, feeling miaowed their use will result in benefit and ieserved favor.

Some now publications arc upon our table, which ought to be noticed, but the absorption of our space by war news will limit our remarks. By the way, talking of publication, we may mention, to a no- volty in those dull newspaper times, that the New York Sunday Mercury, which has a larger circa- . . htion than any other Sunday newspaper in the Union, has just put up ono of floe's Lightning PresFes, costing $25,000, which will strike off nearly 20,000 copies an hour. We have the thmd volume, (pp. 827, octa vo,) of Chambers' Eaoyoloptodia, which truly is a Dictionary of Universal Knowledge for the People. It is published here by J. B. Lip. pincott and Co., and in Edinburgh by W. and R. Chambers, also its editors, to whom the .world is largely indebted for a vast amount of use ful information, at the lowest charge, supplied du ring the last thirty years. The work is liberally illustrated, and treats of a greater number of sub jects than, we believe, has ever been introduced into any previous work of a like character. One good feature is its giving biographical notices of diatinguished living ',mons, The present volume includes articles from the city of Chivasso, in Piedmont, to Sea:Elephant. Under the head" Cot- ton," the statistics aro brought down to the close of 1809, and (in some cases) of 1860; the processes of calico•printing, calendering, dyeing, spinning, weaving, Ice., being described in other articles, With engravings. From Lippincott's we also have the now volume of their excellent Military Library. This is Baron Henri de Jomini's "Art of War," (Precis de l'Art de la Guerre") translated by Captain G. H. Mendell, corps of topographical engineers, and Lieut. W. P. &eighth, Corps of Engineers United States Army. This edition includes the author's last corrections, with appendices, maps, and index. It is a book to be studied, not skimmed. Jomini is the first of living military critics, and the mere list of his books on tho Art of War °couples more than halt a page in the Nouvelle Dio e c7aphre Urn- Among novelties in war literature is the "The National School for the Soldier," a catechism of military tactics, by Captain W. W. Van Ness—a pocket-manual in which much information is con densed. It is published by Carleton, New York, and Peterson & Brothers, in this city. We have also received, from Lippincott & Co., g' Infantry Tactics, for the instruction, exercise, and ma noeuvres of the Soldier, in company, line of skir mishers, battalion, brigade, a corps d'armse ; by Brigadier General Silas Casey, United States Army." It is comprised in three small pocket volumes, and is based on the French ordonazances of IS3I and 1845, for the manoeuvres of heavy in fantry and chersseurs a pied, previously translated by General Scott and Colonel Hardee. The French system is here exactly adapted to the American. The text is made clear by the addition of copious illustrations. Published by D. Van Nostrand, New York. Part XT. of " The Rebellion Record," edited by Frank Moore, and published by G. P. Putnam, New York, has reached us through Mr. John Mo- Farlan, the agent here. It is illustrated with por traits of Generals Mansfield and. McDowell, en- graved on steel by Perine from photographs by Brady. This monthly part is a portion of tho third volume of " The Rebellion Record,"—a work of infinite value fol present reference and future history. As relates to the Past, that eternity which has so much engaged the attention of inquiring minds in all ages, we beg to draw attention to an unpretend ing, but authentic and comprehensive, "History of the United States, from the Discovery of America to the Inauguration of President Lincoln." It has been specially written for the use of schools, by Mr. William Roberts, creditably known in this city as a teacher of marked ability and success in by-gone years. A more impartial, as well as accurate, Wa tery has not been wtitteu. No point of importance or interest has been disregarded. The sketch of American affairs, from 1775 to the dose of the War of Independence (pp. S 5-134), is a model of terse ness and truth. The book, which is neatly printed, is illustrated with good engravings, mostly from original designs. The publishers are Sower—v-- & Co., 37 North 1131 ,0 41 rihnso." alone, save the imprint, on the title page of a volume published by . C. Scribner, New York. It is a work of notion, evidently from a woman's pen, judging from the delicacy and power with which womanly heart•quakes are described. In all-probability, it is a first work. The constituent parts are eloquence, fancy, and poetic feeling. But the writer seemly knows, as yet, how to construct and carry on a story. She can create characters, but has to learn bow to make them act. The result is that her book is one rather of high promise than of . bigh performance.s Those who read merely for sensation-incidents will not like it : thoughtful readers will think differently of it. We received it from W. P. Hazard. Tho Aldine Edition of Thomas flood's Works, edited by Epes Sargent, and published by (i•. P. Putnam, is also on sale by Hazard, who has re ceived the second volume, 'containing "Up the Rhine" and a score of prose romances and extraVa ,l gittiMS, many of them hitherto unknown (as Hood's) j in this country ; the whole of the original wood cuts, from Hood's own deSigns, being also given, with two fine engravings, on steel, of German scenery on the Rhine. This promises to be a very complete, as well as particularly handsome, edition of Hood. Among periodicals on our table we point, with distinguished consideration, to the new number of the Presbyterian Quarterly Review', the best arti cles in which are ""The Progessive Tendency in Knowledge," " John Bunyan," and, at once elo quent, reasoning, and patriotic, "The War for the Union." The half-yearly part of Braithwaite's Retro spect of Practical Medicine and Surgery, pub lished by W. A. Townsend, New York, bas reached us through the agetit here, W. 11. 21.0b0r, publication can be characterized in a few words. It gives an account of every discovery and practical improvement in the medical sciences which has been reoorded in Europe in each half year. These occupy one hundred/and fifty-four different articles, to which are appended an alphabetical synepSiS of novelties in the treatment of various diseases; a commentary on midwifery and the diseases of wo men and children for the last half year ; an index to the volume, and a general index to the four last parts for 1860-'6l. Mr. Townsend also publishes the medical annual, by Dr, William Elmer, entitled " The Physicians' Hand-book a Practice and Me moranda," revised fo} 1862. This is a very com plete manual and diary combined. Lindsay and Diakiston, of this city, have issued their "Physician's Visiting List, Diary, and Book of Engagements for 1882," which, less elaborate (it is also cheaper) than Dr. Elmer's, is neat, onvenient, and portable. That the Dental Cosmos, a monthly record of dental science, has succeeded so well as to be now so far advanced as the seventh number of vol. iii, is to be attributed to two causes !it is well-edited, really giving a large amount of reliable informa tion, and Dentistry, as practised and cultivated in this city, has reached its proper dignity as a science. It is conducted by Drs. J. D. White, J. 11. MeQuillen, and George J. Ziegler. The greater portion is original, but foreign publisations are drawn upon when they contain any thing worth communicating to the profession here. When ne cessary, too, wood-engravings are introduced. There. is a curious paper here, from personal ob servation, about the habits of the beaver—an ani mal which outs down large trees with its teeth, to build its dams and houses. Some weeks ago, we noticed a very sensible Ad dress, by Dr. John S. Hart, on " Mistakes of Edu cated Men," delivered, on the invitation of a Soci ety, with an unpronounceable Anglo-Greek name, of Pennsylvania College, at Gettysburg, at the anpual "Commencement" of the College, last September. It was printed, as a pamphlet, by the Society, but the edition being exhausted, the author has reproduced it in the form of a 12mo volume, pp. '77, neatly bound in cloth, and thus given it a fair chance of permanent existence. We welcome it in this new phase, and repeat that it is distinguish ed, in these times of "fine writing," by good sense, extended information, and plain, forcible language. Published by J. C. Garriguea, 148 South Fourth street. Military Editions of Lever's N ovels. T. B. Peterson has commenced the iSSIIO of a handsome and cheap edition of the military ro nuances of Charles Lever, commencing with " Charles O'Malley." It appears with a splendidly illustrated cover, gorgeous with gold and colors, and is just the book for the Camp. Barry Ler miner," "Jeok Hinton," awl all the rest of Le ver's war stories will follow. If the Secretary of War bad leisure to road these works, no doubt he would order a hundred copies for every regiment in arms. The advertisement, in another page, will give particulars. DAMAGES DECOYERED.—Yesterdo.y morning, in the District Court, Judge Sharswood, an action was Ivought, by John Ilumel, against the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, to recover damages for in juries sustained by Chas.

CAIRO, 111., Feb. 7.—Fort Henry, on the Ten nessee river, surrendered yesterday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, after a determined resistance. The fight lasted an hour and twenty minutes, being conducted by the gunboats Cincinnati, Es sex and St. Louis. The gunboat Cincinnati fired one hundred and twenty five rounds, and received thirty-four shritts • from the rebel guns. Only one man was killed- The St. Louis fired one hundred and ten sun.. and received no damage, The Essex was disabled at the tenth round, by a ball striking her boiler. w T a h e ir at iEtwe of her orew_were kit" Doing scalded , Captain Porter was badly scalded, but not dan gerously. One rebel general, one colonel, two captains, and one hundred privates, were taken prisoners. • The fort mounted seventeen guns. The land force did not reach the scene of action for two hours after the surrender. • The Memphis and Ohio Railroad bridge, fifteen miles above the fort, has been taken possession of by our troops. The Forward Movement in Missouri. The St. Louis correspondent of the Chicago Tri bune, under date of February 3, says: The " forward movement" in Missouri does not necessarily imply the immediate resumption of hos tilities nor the probability of an early encounter with the rebels. Troops have molted tO 141441101 l and Warsaw, and probably will shortly hold Osceola. Our military lines are thereby extended many miles toward the enemy's country. As heretofore indicated, the spring campaign will open by an advance from these outposts upon a common point. There is an advantage, as well as a disadvantage, in moving the outposts of an army from the terminus of a railroad, which those who knew how long it took Fremont's army to quit the railroad will best appreciate. Once under way with a train of wagons, all is well, but that is just the sticking point. Another advantage in loca ting troops at Osceola, Warsaw, and Lebanon, is the great saving in the muscular strength of the troops. Whenever an advance on Spring field is resolved upon, our troops can march there quickly and avoid the physical exhaustion which usually follows long marches. General Curtis is chief in command at Lebanon, associated with Generals Sigel and Asboth. He has about 5,000 troops, and more are to follow. General Wyman remains in command at Rolla. Acting Brigadier General Jeff. C. Davis commands at Warsaw, though it is stated that General Pope is to establish his quarters at that place—this, too, in spite of the positive statement that Pope is to take np quarters in the Governor's mansion in Jefferson City. These Union movements in Missouri, in anticipation of a sudden Sw66p to the Arkansas line ; divide public attention with the prospective operations in the vicinity of Cairo. The regiments which have re cently left here are among the best in the depart ment. NEWS FROM THE MTH, A Texas Refugee The Louisville correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing under date of February 3, says: A gentleman who made his way from the South to this city, within the past week, wag months in travelling from Texas to Memphis. He was several 1 times arrested while endeavoring to get beyond the I limits of Texas, and forced to return home. At last he made his way into Arkansas. Here he was again taken by the Confederates, and, being a blacksmith by trade, was conveyed to Little Rock, and forced to make mainsprings roe gun-locks. Then he was impressed into a Missouri expedition, under Hardee, as a campaign blacksmith. After suspicion had worn off to some extent he was al lowed more privileges, and furnished with a horse. For a while he went in and out on his charger quite faithfully, and was always at his post of duty. But, one rine day, while making an extend ed ride, to nee it ho could not reach the Federal lines, be found himself in the midst of Jeff Thomp son's cavalry. Being hailed by an officer and asked what he was about, he replied, " Just look ing at the country." The rebel officer thought it a singular time for gentlemen to be leisurely looking at the country, so our blacksmith was again a prisoner. Thompson sent him to Memphis, at which place he was employed in making sabres. Those he manufactured, he thinks, will not bear many bard blows, as he tempered them very hard. When sabre work became slack, he was put on gun carriages. After working industriously for several weeks he pretended to have some pressing business at Bowling Green, and begged permission to make but a short visit and return. Having been a good boy, be was told he could have leave when he finished the gun-carriage on which be was then engaged. Before reaching Bowling Green he leaped from the cars while running slowly, and set out afoot through the country. Finding a negro chopping in the woods, he opened a conversation with him. InguisitiveSambo wished to know whether the traveller was a Union man or a Southern man? "A good Southern man," was the reply. "0 no, masa," said the negro, " you can't fool nigga dat way. You see I knows 'em. I sees too many Union men passer, die way." Find ing it useless to argue with the darkey on the sub ject, ho asked him if his master was a Union man? it No, sir, he's strong Southern rights." " Well," said the stranger, " are there any Union men about here ?" "0, yea, plenty of 'em; I knows all of 'em." Several farm-houses were pointed out as the dwellings of Union men, and the refugee, without letting the negro know his intention, made his way to one of them, and asked permission to remain during the night. In conversation with the gen tleman of the house, ho found it impossible to draw from him any expression of devotion to the Union, and began to film the slave had misinformed him. But when the farmer, during the evening, went out to look after some business, the refugee be thought him that one way to find out a man's rid dle is to plough with his heifer. So he drew the good lady into a free conversation, and soon learned her husband's Seeeseioniem was feigned for prti• donna] purposes. Furthermore, he learned the lady was exceedingly anxious to write a letter and send it to a friend within Tom Crittenden's lines. When the cautious host came in again, our traveller led him aside and disclosing his own character and' aims, prevailed on him to drop his disguises. The result was, this Union family furnished him eon veyance and a guide more than half way to Grit ! tenden's lines, and directions as to the best route for the balance. This gentleman declares that about the time he le't Southern Missouri, along the highwaya, in seine sections, the atmosphere was literally stifling ' with the stench of unburied Union men who had been butchered by the rebel guerillas. This Texan refugee gives no such rose•colored ac count of things in the South as was given by the Southern-tuindod Bostonian who arrived at Cairo a ehort time since. lle saya griin btarvation is closing in around the rebels, with his lank-visaged hosts, on all sides. Corn is the only plentiful commodity they have, and that was worth ninety oents per `bushel when he left Memphis: Flour was worth $l5 to $lB per barrel, and other articles of food, with the exception of sugar and molasses, were in pe,.portion. Common prints were worth sixty-five cents per yard in the realm of King Cotton. The , works of define at Memphis were poor affairs, and there were few soldiers there to man them. At Columbus there are many thousands of sixty days militia, all of whom wilt disband at the expi ration of their time. The entire three at Volum hue, he thinks, is not more than 40,000 mon, and at Bowling green there are about the same number. Among these, too, are many sixty•days men, armed with shot guns and squirrel rifles, who will not re main after their time expires. Behavior oil the BiWimps. 'The correspondent of the B osto. Journal, writing of the taking possession of Biloxi, saki That the fears of the people of the South have been worked upon by the rebel leaders is evident from the inter.se alarm occasioned by the landing of the Union force at Biloxi. The deepest anxiety was depicted on every countenance, and the people betrayed, by their looks and conversation, their fettO that all the horrorS of a spoked and pillaged town awaited them. The women, especially, wore in the highest state of frenzy, and ()lung to the skirts of the Mayor for protection and advice, as be was going to consult the citizens. They had been told that the Northern soldiers were a set of barbarians, and given to pillage and rapine. Bat not even a pin's value was taken by the sailors from any private dwelling, Mt Itri indecent word spoken, and ne intrusion or insult offered to any of the citizens, whose astonishment at the behavior of our men was only equalled by their previous fright. The people appeared to be in a very destitute condition, some wanting shoes, some clothing, and others bread. One smart-looking lad said to his mother, in the hearing of the officers, " don't care if I do get taken prisettar, ,, to which the other re plied, "Nor I either, for then I shall be sure to get enough to oat." Aaotber chap of rebellious ten dencies said : " I've beard some talk of starving us into submission, but they'll have to put a blockade on the mullet (a kind of fish) before they can do this." A little boy approached Mid. Woodward, and with a wishful air and beseeching tone said "Oh, mister, if you'll only bring me one handful of oolne, I'll give you anything—lasses, sugar, or anything." An old man made a similar proposal tollr. Freeman, who asked him if they wore short of anything, to which he made answer : " My God, cof fee A o l r e t s e h a ta t t b o e f se ev fo er u y r tb m in o g n . tils .! . pav li en e 't ad tagr r,off you like It show you some of the stuff we use for tea," and going off be soon returned with a bunch of dry hethale—large leaves on the stalk, which grows near the ground, and resembles oak leaves. Though the town possessed many natural beau ties and redeeming qualities, still everything bore a neglected and wasted appearance. The place seemed deserted, and no signs of thrift or business woreebeervod; the male population, capable of bear ing anus, bad gone to the war, while old men and boys were enrolled as home guards. There were not more than fifty men in the place, and about five hundred women and children. If the towns and hamlets in the North wore to make this sacrifice, how long would the rebels defy the power of the Federal Government t The Advance on Savannah. [From the Journal of Commerce.) By the arrival of the ship Zeus Colin, and the kindness of Cptain Riddell, we are in receipt of news from Port Royal to Tuesday, 28th ult. The expedition for the south sailed from that point on Sunday, 26th January, including all the light-draught steamers, eight gunboats, and 8,000 troops. The principal part of the expedition went outside, but one or two small steamers, with light vessels in tow, went by the inside passage. Gen. Sherman left on Monday, in the gunboat /I*We/inn. The object of the expedition 1."/19 un derstood to bean attack on Savannah, commencing with Fort Pulaski. On Tuesday ,when the Zenas Caffin was beating out, they beard a heavy cannonading in the direc tion of Fort - Pulaski. It continued four hours in thoinorning and two in the afternoon. The postmaster at Port Royal did not send a mail by the Zenas Co f fin, because, as the captain significantly expressed it, as she had not a round stern and a gilt figura head." But Captainßiddle has made a passage ahead of everything. General Crittenden Drunk and Accused of Treason. The responsibility for the defeat in the latejlatag near &menet, the rebeltourmo- - entirely to - L "` I Z' dreil, but had been boughtby Federal was sot only Federal g01d.." A correspondent of the Memphis Avalanche, writing 'from Nashville, January 25, says : I n d e ed, you can scarcely pass along the excited crowd upon enuepron her thostreets—for streetr, s Nashville h w h i t as o a u t goodly at n pr e hear ing the commanding officer characterized as a sold our brave sol diers for forty-seven thousand dollars,' death too good for him,' and more of a worse tenor. There are others, however, who believe that the com mander, at .Mill Spring is a brave and true patriot, and profer to wait for further developments be fore expressing their condemnation. In this latter class I may be found ; but while I would do justice to General Crittenden—while I would not have him or his official conduct prejudged—l must be per mitted to say that, if the half of what is here re ported be true. there is no punishment that is too sevetA for him." The following statement, indicating Crittenden's understanding and intercourse with - the Federal officers, is published in the MeMphis Avalanche. We quote from the statement where Crittenden or dered a retreat from the camp at Mill Creek to the south side of the Cumberland : " Colonel Battle's regiment was thrown out as a picket-guard in front of the fortifications while the retreat of the other regiments was made. They were ordered by Crittenden to halt within four miles of Monticello, and form a line of battle, to draw on the enemy for another fight. The regi ments halted at Mrs. Roberts', at the point desig nated, and a consultation was held by the officers. "When the officers gathered for consultation, Colonel Battle revealed the contents of the papers which had been extracted from the body of a negro man, who was shot while attempting to cross the river, to the enemy, on Saturday night, at about half past ten o'clock. Mr. Smith, our interment, was one of the persons who captured the negro. The story runs thus: " A Capt. West, a Union man, lives near the en. sampment. A number of the members of Duncan's eampany had been having their washing done at West's, On Saturday, prior to the battle, Gen. Crittenden dined with West. He gave to West some papers, which were to be transmitted across the river, by a negro, to the Northern army. A ne gro, Elizabeth, in the afternoon, told the negro girl attached to Duncan's company that a certain negro (calling him by name) of her master was to go be rend the river that night with papers to the North. torn army. The intelligence was conveyed to the members of Duncan's company, who, at first, disre- Barded the report, attaching no importance to it. ut the report was emphasized by the two negroes tile girl of Capt. West and the negro of the com pany) visiting the camp together and reporting it; whereupon eight men (among them W. B. Smith) were sent towards the river by Capt. Demean !Duman going himself) in search of the negro. These men had prooeeded about lot% and a half Miles when they met a man delving cattle, who informed them of the direction in which he bad seen the negro travelling. The men hastened on to within half a toile below Stagers Ferry, reaching there at about 7 o'clock P. 14. They SW the negro in a canoe, about half way across the river. They called to him to stop, but he went on, of the men fired upon him, killing hilu in the canoe. They , wen log inooo river, somewhat above, which was straddled by three, which, with their hands, they paddled into the middle of the river to the canoe. They extracted, from the person of the negro, papers, which, upon returning to camp, they delivered to Col. Battle. It was between 10 and 11 o'clock when the papers were delivered to Col. Battle, who had his command moving under the order to march against the enemy. He was unable, consequently, to examine the papers Until after the whole battle had occurred. The papers were examined early on Monday morning, and were at before the officers, in their con sultation at Mrs. Roberts' within four miles of Monticello, where they had been ordered, by Crit tenden, to halt. " When the consultation of the officers was being held, Crittenden rode off hastily to Monticello. Colonel Battle told the brigade that they bad been 'sold.' The regiments then proceeded to Monti cello, and, upon their arrival, General Crittenden was found at the Houston Hotel, in his bed, deeply intoxicated. He was immediately arrested, and is now a prisoner of war, held by Colonels Stanton, Battle,- Statham, and 'Newman. The papers dis covered era said to reveal the character of our forti fications at Mill Spring, the number of our troops, and the amount of provisions on hand, etc. "General Zollicoffer's body was carried to the brigade hospital by order of Dr. Cliffs. .He lived six hour, after ho was shot, dying somewhat past S o'clock A. M. His last words were : Briny nip wen in-,ide of the 6reastuvrks,' There Were eighteen wounded, and eighteen sick, besides Gen. Zollicoffer's body, in the hospital. The hospital and all the bodies were burned by the Federate." (From the Nashville Gazette.] Tax SIN or DRUNKENNESS.—AII men, regard less of avocations and condition, rest under a moral and social obligation to keep sober—to guard against the excessive use of intoxicating drinks— to keep their minds always free from the damaging effects of man's greatest enemy—whisky. Tithl obligation is high and imperative, and its violation always attended with evil. Especially is it so as applicable to men in official station, civil and mili tary. The habitual drunkard is unfit for Station of any kind, and particularly unfit for being vested with the power to govern °recommend. But for the deplorable fact that Gen. Crittenden, of Kentucky, who is, we regret to say, generally re garded as a common drunkard, had been made the superior in command of the lamented Zolliooffer, the devoted hearts of Southern patriots might not to-day be lacerated and overwhelmed with grief almost insupportable. We firmly be lieve that theinveetigatioteto be made of the causes leading to this great disaster to our arms will dis close the fact that General Crittenden was, at the time of the action, in an almost beastly state of in toxication, and has been so, almost incessantly, since the commencement of his connection with the Confederate army. We shall feel some little aston isbment if this investigation does not also connect with Crittenden's erime of drunkenness the greater sins of treason, treachery, and cowardice. The first revolution had an Arnold—the second revolution may likewise have one. Bo that, however, as it may, for the sake of humanity and the success of this struggle for national independence, we earnestly hope that no more besotted in9b.rion, wok at Crittenden is represented to be, may be appointed or elected to high positions in the armies of the South. (From the Memphis Appeal, Feb. I.] The Plan of the Enemy. The Northern journals, in tihomeeing the plans of tboir generals, give us intimation of one probable feature in their programme, Which, if eueeeelful, would prove the heaviest? blow that could possibly be o r inflicted riess up t o b n an on e r u C t o ti n ng oir Confederacy. oc: T m t p i i s un n i o c t s h t i i n on g en between the Potomac and the Mississippi valley, by pushing forward two vast armies through East Ten nessee and North Carolina, thus peforming a piece of military strategy designated by Napoleon as " piercing the centre." The armies of the East and West are now connected by two lines of rail way—one the East Tennessee and Western Virgi nia, passing through the mountainous region of this State, and the other the Weldon and Wilmington, running along the Atlantic coast. Both of those rends are in a measure somewhat exposed to the assaults of the enemy, the former being about se venty and the latter near forty miles from the ad vance guard of the Federal forces on either ex treme in Southern Kentucky and Pamlico sound, Military affairs are in a situation at present to especially indicate, if not invite, a trial of this scheme. The Burnside naval expedition has ren dezvoused on the coast of North Carolina, with a reported force for landing operations of about thirty thousand men, which may be increased at any time by the addition of twenty-five thousand more under Sherman end Dupont, now at Port Royal. It is evidently the design of this fleet, if it does any thing at all, to move on Newborn, Washington, or Elizabethtown, with the view of their capture and the subsequent establishment of a base of opera tions against the interior portion of North Carolina. In the meanwhile, strenuous efforts may ho made to penerato ESA Tellneelee, by way of Cumberland Gap, or some other entrance, so as to reach the great trunk railway, between the East and the West, at Knoxville or Greenville. This is known to have long been a favorite plan of the enemy, since the commencement of the war, and the im portance of the movement has been repeatedly dwelt upon by the most sag acious and observant journals of the Northwest. Despite the almost in surmountable difficulties of accomplishing such an expedition, where every mountain pass would be made a Thermopylm, the late success of the enemy near Somerset may possibly attract his attention to its supposed feasibility, while he still exults, with exuberant ecstasy, over his triumph. Indeed, we are already told that General Buell has despatched large reinforeensonts to Thome and gehovff, since the battle of the 19th ultimo, though their coin blued commands were known to he at least three times as large as that of General Crittenden, which had rallied, at last accounts, at Livingston, about fifteen miles from the Kentucky State line. This shows a disposition to follow up the victory by preeaing forward into Tennessee as speedily as pos sible, and giving battle to Crittendon's retired army before it can be reinforood in sufficient numbers to insure successful resistance to an attack. Of course, Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, who. enjoys the confidence of the people of the Missis sippi valley to a greater extent than any other military man in tbo Will, at a glance, observe the evil consequences that must follow from another defeat of our forces in this disaffected region, and will take prompt steps to arrest any such threatening disaster. If Gen. Crittenden should again be overwhelmed with superior num bers, and is forced to retreat still further South, it requires no superior sagacity to discern the fact that the enemy would be greatly which ill his attempt to prosecute the plan to which wo have. alluded. Movements in the field, of a vast mili tary campaign, like those upon a chessboard, are as shifting es the sands of the sea, and may be expe dited or entirely abandoned upon the happening of the most trivial and apparently unimportant con tingency. This principle applied, may stimulate, the advance of the left wing of Buell's army, under Thomas and Schoepfi, unless it, is confronted with a counter force of equally large proportions. We have to contend with the disagreeable fact that there is in East Tennessee, the field of this operation, a large disaffected, if not treasonable, element, ready at all times to give aid and comfort to the armed legions of the enemy in their coining. The section of North Carolina, too, within the vici nity of Hatteras, has been charged with a subdued sentiment of disloyalty, which, if true, would offer strong inducements to invasion by the expedition ary force of Burnside. Fifty thousand men pushed through from each direction, while the situation at other points is preserved, would necessitate the ut most diligence and energy on the part of our Govern ment authorities to keep the Confederacy from being dangerously pierced in its Achilles' heel. Our philosophy in this matter would dictate the eminent wisdom of the adage that an ounce of pre caution is worth a pound of cure. GENERAL BUELL'S DEPARTMENT. Full List of the Rebels Engaged in rt..• Battle at Mill ot Cnr, the Cincinnati .-DOte'7•Bl7a/ says : Some very instructive inferences might be d?awn by those of our troops that have been so extremely particular as to their clothing and arms, previous to entering the field, from the facts developed by the late battle in reference to the rebel armament and equipments. That a large per tentage of their guns were of the flint-lock description is amply evidenced by the large prevalence of such among our trophies. What a shout of complaint would have been raised if any of our regiments had been asked to fight with snail antiquated weapon ; and if it had happened to be worsted( would not the defeat be solely charged to the deficientarmainent? Again : the appearance of the prisoners now in our hands goes to show that they are miserably de- Solent in clothing suitable for a winter campaign. Very few, only, seem to have been provided with overcoats of any kind. Vet, their inferior arms and scanty garments notwithstanding, they came out of their fortifications to fight us Some of the captive officers assert that hundreds of the flint muskets did not go off during the engagement in consequence of the rain. That this may have been so is fully proved by the experience of European armies in former periods. Truly, we cannot deny credit to our enemies for their pluck and enterprise in thus making war in a condition that would have produced mutiny among many of our spoiled troops. The rebels fight with whatever they can get in the way of weapons. Is not this example rather worthy of imitation ? I have obtained from prisoners the following com plete list of the rebel infantry regiments, cavalry, and artillery corps, that came out of their entrench mente to attack, together with the names of most of their field officers and commanders. These were of INFANTRY. Twentieth Tennessee—Colonel J. A. Battle ; lieutenant colonel, M. B. Carter (prisoner); major, Patrick Duff. Fifteenth Mississippi—Colonel Strahan (absent on furlough) ; Lieutenant Colonel Walthall com manding; major, Brantley. Sixteenth Alabama—Colonel C. B. Wood. Nineteenth Tennessee—Colonel Cummings; lieu tenant colonel, Walker ; major, Falkerson. Twenty-fifth Tennessee—Colonel, Stanton; lieu tenant colonel, Diebrill ; major, Williams. Twenty-ninth Tennessee—Colonel, Powell; ma jor, Rice. Sixteenth Tennessee—Colonel, Massey. Seventeenth Tennessee—Colonel, Newman; lieu tenant colonel, Miller (commanding during the battle) ; major, Landis. CAVALRY. One battalion commanded by Lieut. Colonel Brannan. One battalion commanded by Lieut. Colonel McClellan. One battalion commanded by Lieut. Colonel Moses White. One independent company commanded by Capt. Bledsoe. One independent company commanded by Capt. Sanders. One battery of six pieces under Captain Rutledge, (late U. S.A.) One battery of six pieces under Captain MeClary. Total—Eight regiments of infantry,_ two battalions and two independent companies Of cavalry, and tWeITO - pqeces of artillery. The Nineteenth and Twentieth Tennessee and ixteenth Alabama and Fifteenth Mississippi com posed Geneig. Zollicoffer's brigade, and the re maining four General Carroll's. The prisoners state that Zollicoffer's brigade alone participated in the action, and that the only part performed by General Carroll's Was to increase the proportions of the rout. This allegation ap pears to be contradicted, however, by the fact that among the wounded prisoners are several belong ing.to the regiments attached to Carroll'a brigade. It is also claimed by the captives that the regi ments under Zollieoffer averaged about four hun dred and fifty men each, and that thus the whole number of rebels engaged did not exceed seven - thousand seven hundred, inclusive of the ar tillery. This may not have been so, but there is certainly a great unanimity of expression among, them on this subject. The rebel cavalry numbered together about eight hundred and fifty men. It seems to be the universal opinion among the prisoners that it was a miserable, useless mob. Their horses were cer tainly of the poorest quality. General Carroll is a notorious drunken politician from Western Tennessee. Neither he nor Major General Crittenden appears to have enjoyed the confidence of their subordinates Beyond the fact ' of his presence, Crittenden must have had hardly anything to do with the battle. No orders what ever are said to have been received by the Twen tieth Tennessee; Thirteenth Alabama, and Tenth Mississippi, after they were' brought to face with our troops. All prisoners agree that &Ilk coffer was the ablest commander they had. Young Bailie Peyton was killed at the side of Lieutenant Colonel Carter, of the Twentieth Ten nessee. He was acting captain in that regiment, and towards the end of the fight proceeded with Colonel Carter some distance in advance of his re giment, to a fence. Our bullets flying thick and fast all around them, Colonel Carter expressed the opinion that it would be better for them to He down. Colonel Carter did so himself,&nd in that position, according to his statement, impt firing for some time from his repjter, through the openings be tween the fence miff, at our men. After the lapse of some minutes, he turned around to look after his companion, when ho saw young Peyton lying dead on the ground, shot dead through the head. Ho immediately arose, and tried to make his way back to bis regiment, but he failed to find it, and in his search unsuspectedly came upon some men of the Second Tennessee, to whom he surrendered. Young Peyton's sword, a splendid weapon, pre sented to him by some ladies of New Orleans, is now in possession of an Ayer of the Second Min nesota regiment I feel gratified in being able to assure the friends of the wounded that the best possible care is taken of them. With the exception of a few of the Tenth Indiana, they have all been brought to this place, and are comfortably lodged in the court house, churches, and private houses. Under the intelli gent and faithful superintendence of Dr. Strew, of New York, the head of the medical department of this division, everything has been, and is being done to alleviate their sufferings and insure their speedy recovery. Many of the, slightly wounded are al -1 ready up and walking about the town. The wounded of the rebels receive likewise every care and attention. Some of the worst eases are treated by our own surgeons. Their injuries are mostly of a serious character- Some have really frightful wounds. Many amputations have become necessary among them. Up to date, no less than twenty-five have died of their wounds. The Confederate surgeons - admit that a large number of their men were slightly wounded, and tvere brought off the field. They have themselves no knowledge as to their exact loss in wounded. TWO CENTS. Themention , among them of several field officers by Southern papere, of whose wounding they had not heath tbemserres, shows title. Colonel Carter states that, Besides him, there was hardly an uninjured officer hs his regiment. Correct returns of the rebel loss will probably he never obtained under the ax is ting oireumstances. The weather continuesto. be disgustingly unfa vorable in this region: Not a day passes without some additrsual rain ;;the road are ) , consequently, getting worse and worse. As long at cold or dry weather doesnot set in, no advance of our troops n any direction will be practicable. I am reliably informed' that oirculars have boon sent by certain Xentuoky politicians, affiliated with negrophobia, to many of the Kentucky officers in the Federal service, reiluesting= them. to eounnuni. cats their views as to what course they should pursue in case an emancipation policy should he pursued by the Government. What does this mean? General Thomas has not, as the Associated Press claims to know, occupied Monticello with a large force, but is hero, and confined to his room by a Plight indiftpooition, it will be remembered that, a few days since, an extract from Southern papers, stating. that one ' , Hogback Johnson' ) had brought information to the rebel entrenchment as to the strength of our forces. This traitor is living on a farm in this vi cinity, and is still at large. The Capture of a Rebel Spy. The Munfordsville correspondent of the Cincin nati Timer, writing under date of February 2d, says: A prisoner of war was brought into camp• yester day, and placed in prison, charged with• being. e spy. His history, in connection with our army, is interesting, When the first Federal advance to• Green river was made, large parties-of cavalry were sent out on the flanks to watch the fords and guard the roads. One of these parties visited the residence of the rebel General Buckner, and found a gentleman there in a U. S. infantry captain's uniform, making himself at home. He said. his name was Jaekeen, and that he was reconnoitring for the Federal army. Ile talked too much, how. ever, frequently contradicting himself, and the of ficer of cavalry deemed it best to bring him tollead quarters. Then his pretence was proved to be false, and General McCook regarding him as a spy, ordered him into close custody. He was very indignant wiwn placed in jail, arid swore ho would shoot Goo, McCook as soon as he regained his liberty. Daring his imprisonment he was taken with the measles, and came near going the way of all flesh. One day, just after his illness, he requested, as a special fa vor, the privilege of dining out under the escort of a guard. It was g,ranted, and one of Col. Willich's men sent along with him. He went to a house on the edge of the village, and eyeing the Orerman, sup posed he bad a greenhorn, proposed to go a little further to another house. "Das ist all right," said Hans, but taking. care the tnomentthe prisoner's baok was turned to cap his gun. Ha went to the second, the third, and insisted•on going to the fourth house, when the guard. pro .. tastad. " What do you. mean, sir ?" he then said in an indignant tone. " Don't you know that lam a captain, and you must obey my orders 7 " " I goes to der house, nicht,' calmly replied the soldier. "Then you can stay whore you aro, but r will go ." "Ha,ish dat it?" said Hans, bringing his gun up to an aim, " well den by shinks you goes mit abul let in your bead." ,4 Don't shoot ! for God's sake don't shoot'." ex claimed the would-be captain. " I will go back with you," and baek he came, with Mins- cocked musket close after him. But though " Captain" Jackson failed that time, he did eventually succeed in making his escape from the jail. The affair at the time caused some excitement, as it was supposed he had received out side assistance. The jailor at the time was Sergeant W. IL Shef field, of the Forty-ninth Ohio, who has served et cient/y in the provost force of the division for some months, Lately the sergeant has been transferred to the railroad, travelling on all the passenger trains examining the passes of travellers. While going through the cars beyond Baeon creek, yes terday, who should he meet but the escaped Capt. Jackson, now dressed in the uniform of &lieutenant of cavalry. He presented a pass from Gen. Irktot4: but it bore another name. The qqffirinvited him Presently Jackson adcixe"balilly acknowledged he to sit hesitte leho was in prison, but he was all .wget 'now, having Gen. Mitchell's protection. He told the sergeant, that as soon as he escaped he went down to Bacon Creek and enrolled himself with the cavalry, that Gen. Mitchell at once saw his merits, mud bad authorized him to recruit for his body guard, and that he was going North for that purpose, This was, of course, all false, but it is a mystery as to how he obtained the uniform pass. Sergeant Sheffield did not feel authorized to arrest him, as he had a pass, but telegraphed ahead after ho left the train, and the captain was arrested at Louisville, just as he had engaged passage on a steamer going southward. He had obtained a pass at Louisville, on the strength of the one ho had from General Mitchell. Yesterday he returned here, and is now in his old home—the Munfordsville 'ail. There is very little doubt as to his being a spy. It, is supposed he has been in the neighborhood sines his escape from jail, gathering information under various disguises, and, having learned our strength, was proceeding to some point on the Ohio where he could make his way to communicate with the rebels.

On the 16th n't. one of the most oalamitous coal pit accidents Over recorded took place near Bart ley, a few miles from Newcastle, England The pit was one hundred fathoms in depth, and wee continually subject to a vast influx of water, sup posed to be from the sea. /V opening a level into another pit, and the erec tion of a powerful eteam-engine to pump out the water, it was at last kept under., It appears that the only entrance for the miners, c is well as exit for coal, was throiigh that shaft, which had been sunk through loose earth in great part, and had to be planked all the way up. The beam of the pumping engine broke and its fall carried away the timbers underneath, where. upon the sides caved in, and tilled np that portion of the pit between the second level and the bottom. This part bad, indeed, an extra shaft, up whioh it is supposed the men would betake themselves and be out of danger of drowning. But an equally great danger met them there from the foul air. It is believed that this penetrated the apartments where they took shelter, as animals let down the shaft subsequently expired in a short time, and the men refused to venture their lives where death appeared to stare them in the face. At the latest (latest dates, a week had elapsed without finding aught of the two hoodrott bpd MOM gkee !glow", to be under ground, and their fate waa consider= bottled.
