WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5,1862.
LETTER FROM NASHVILLE, TENN.
[Special Correspondence of The Freaa.]
Nashville, Tbnn., October 23,1862.
HOW GENERAL NEOLEY IS LIKED—HIS TRIALS.
General Negleyhas been in command just five
weeks,' aid I refer to his sucoess with great
pleasure..* Yesterday I visited the fort at St. Cloud
Hill, in company with the chief engineer, Captain
Morton. After showing me some valuable im
provem-nts suggested by General Negley, Captain
Morton asked me what X thought of the General.
I told him that! believed him to be the best com
mander we ever had in Nashville; that he com
prehended the stability of Dumont and the courtesy
of Rosscau. “IjudgeaUniongeneral,” remarked
Morton, l! by the standing he has in rebel circles,
and if ever a man was detested by that class Gene
ral Negley is that man. I always considered
him a fine offiosr, and have a thorough know
ledge of his sterling patriotism; and I liko
to see a Federal officer act as though he ex
pected and desired no reciprocals at the hands
of rebels upon the reconstruction of the Union.'’
These sentiments are every day expressed by
those fearless Union men who anticipate no per
manent disastrous results. You .have .no idea
what the trials are which the commander of this
‘post realizes. He is attacked, by wealthy rebels,
with all kinds of stories and complaints ;■ and he is
attacked by a mean, sneaking crowd of property
holders and others who represent themselves as
Union men, and who are particularly energetic in
emptying cur prisons. Let a party of guerieliasj
even, be. captured, and these queer Union men,
who have no confidence in the Government, throng
the offices of either the commander of the post, the
Governor or provost marshal, or all in turn, and
present an inconceivable amount of argument in
favor of the bushwhacker, whom they regard- as
“ reliable,” “ upright,” “ kind,” etc., always care
ful about mentioning the fact of his-being a rebel,
and contributing bis mite toward the destruction
of the Government by murdering loyal men in the
woods.
A SCENE WITH GEN. DtUIONTi 1
' One of these « Union” men once went to General
Dumont to effect the release of a guerilla whom
the General had himself captured. Says the so
licitor, “General, I’ve known the-prisoner along
; time, and, although he ‘ differs with you andli in
j poltttesy he is certainly a reliable gentleman. You
[ know, General, lam a. Union man, and, if 1 did
; not know the prisoner personally, I would not com-'
: promise myself by endeavoring H&rc
: lease.” “ Yes,” says the old . General, grußly,
“h—l is paved with suoh Union men as you axe!
. You expect the rebels back here after the battle at
Corinth, and you expect your friend to be on hand
in oase you get jn jail. I’m sick of such; Union
men, and if I had a gun big enough I’d blow them
all to the lower regions!”
THE NUMBER OF TROOPS IN. THE CITS.'—HOW
THEY SUBSIST.
There are about ten thousand troops in this city,
and, as our supplies ranj out about five weeks ago,
foraging is absolutely necessary; and no matter how
strict theoommanding general and regimental offi
ces® may be, a large party seldom goes out without
some pilfering, episodes transpiring ere the return.
A'- few days ago a party stopped at the plantation
of Mrs. Neil Brown, and, among other things which
they “purloined,” was a pet goat. Mrs. Neil
Brown immediately repaired to headquarters, ac
quainted General Negley with the fact, and de
manded protection papers, after delivering a speech
containing an undue amount of acerbity. After
she had finished, the General remarked :
'“Madam, I desire that yon shouid fully under
stand me ; that, while X deprecate the fact that
some of the troops under my command occasionally
behave In an unsoldierly madder, it is not that I
possess’the least particle of sympathy with those
who suffer, but that it compromises the discipline

A bF ’aENEE'AI. NEGLBY.
A few days ago General Harding, who has lately
arrived from Mackinaw, called upon Negley for
protection papers, saying that his beautiful farm
and houses were almost .destroyed, and that he de
sired protection from further injury, believing that
he had paid the penalty for his folly. “You are
mistaken, Mr. Harding,” rejoined the General;
“ the penalty for treason is death /”
OUR. NEGRO POPULATION.
Just now the greatest excitement exists among
the negro population. All the willing workers
have been at work for the Government for several
months. Those who constitute the more genteel
portion it has at last become necessary to call upon,
and they, being used tojhandling nothing heavier
than a shaving-brush or a towel, have, of course,
a natural aversion to a spade or pickaxe. But,
“necessity knows no ’ law,’ and particularly mili
tary necessity. Bo last week a collection of these
people was made for Governmental purposes. As
the boarders at the Commercial were partaking of
thoir breakfast, and the waiters were bringing in
the hash, % squad of soldiers appeared, and ordered
the negroes to go with them. Remonstrance was
useless,, and although' most of them avowed their
state of health to be wretched, the relentless officer
took them off, and they are now laying planks on
the pontoon bridge in the middle of Cumberlaad
river. . Several barbers’ shops were likewise inva
ded, and the sable knights of the razor marched off,
muei- to their regret and that, of their unshaved
customers. But the greatest excitement occurred
on Sunday last. Sunday is the gala day of the
week, for thise people; who don their best clothes,
and .with their wives and sweethearts—the Dinahs,
Chioes, and Roses—all attend some place of wor
ship, most of them going to the churches provided
for negroes, of which Nashville bpasts- of three, of
as-many different denominations; the peculiar
points on which they differ being about as well un
derstood by them as those of many white assem
blies 1 have seen of a like nature.
However, Sunday was a fine day,and the tarn
oat at the evening service of tho-Baptist Church
wa3 large. Just as the minister—the Reverend
Green Seales—was demonstrating that beautiful
chapter in Revelations pertaining, to animal mathe
njatios, the division of the sheep aad goats, and elo
quently assuring his hearers that “ Bress de Lord,
we knows who wears de wool,’,’ asiidden command,
“halt,” was heard above the-diaof “ amen” and
“-glory ” of the worshippers, and a Federal offi
cer’s buttons, glistened in the. dim candle light..
Shis Eight was enough. Befcra.he could command
the crowd to follow him, they, broke for the win
dows, the expounder of the. Scriptures leading,
saying, as he dived throxgh-the half- opened sash,
“Bress de good Lord; bredderen,l ’mrn de meetin ;
I’se gwine home.”
Monday morning a procession ; might have beers,
seen eomihg up from ths.rivev, arrayed in “ cus
tomary suits of black,” • with glittering watoh
chains, and : pins, and... rubied shirtbosoms, and..
clothes looking as if?.they had been worked in..

PASSES. CUBTAILED.
Owing to the immediate presence of the rebels,
passes for some five da-yk past have been tahoped,
and people who. come into the city on business, or
pleasure, suddenly find their stay prolonged,. and
no doubt inwardly, resolve, if they can only .reach
home once more, hover to visit the city again..
THE TO-RIGI-ES TO OBTAIN PASSES.,
Numberless. cases are daily occurring at the,
provost marshal’s office of parties who.have .young
children anxiously awaiting the return .of. their
affectionate mothers, and, in fact , all,the .applicants
for passes, have some bed-ridden grandmother- or
nursing;infant which demands their4mpi.ediatsm.t-.
tention. Of course, more or les3 of.these, people,
who are so anxious to - leave the town, only to. re
turn again immediately, are redd spies, who,;while
here, glean all tho Information possible, and com
municate it to the rebels; who’are. to be found on
all. the roads, and who subsist themselves and
"horses on the residents within a few miles of the
city. . " : v; ;; !

We have had several little skirmishes about here

that the rebels wki.net attack them. Should we bo,

THE REMOVAL-OF’ BUELL—BOW IT IS RECEIVED'.
The Journal of tlio 27th sontains rumors touch
ing the removal of G‘en. Buell. Why, the mere
announcement in loyal circles caused' heartfelt re
joicing, and the officers'of the army are, this morn
ing, congratulating themselves and each other upon
the rumored change. For fear the news may not 1
be confirmed, I refrain from elaborately accounting
for his military death. Let me state, however,
that he has no friends in this city attached to any
thing of a loyal nature.
THE MOVEMENTS OF -THE REBELS" A MYSTERY.
The grapevine still circulates industriously, and 1
the latest reports are that Murfreesboro has been
evacuated, and that the Confederates, with all their
accumulated stores of beef, hogs, and army stores;
obtained by their pillaging Middle Tennessee, were
on the move for Chattanooga. Other reports have
it that this evacuation movement is a feint, to put
the forces here off their guard, and that in reality
there is a grand concentration of forces at Murfrees
boro,; and that they are to advance on this be
leaguered city some day this week. Moreover, it
is rumored that General Breckinridge and staff
have been at Murfreesboro since Monday, = and un
der his generalship the array is to advance upon us
I apprehend that whenever this defeated political'
general shall show fight, he and his adherents
will be worse whipped than the same leader was in
the last Presidential contest. Our forces; though
small, are full of fight, and anxious to cope with
anything which may be brought against them. So
sure of success axe they, that if Bragg's whole
army should attack Nashville, I venture to predict
an obstinate resistance, if not a repulse.
SOME FACTS*ABOUT IHK CHAPLIH HILL BATHE.
You have, of-course, read all about the late bat
tle at Chaplin Hill, Ky., and of the determined
bravery of the 79 th Pennsylvania regiment, under
Hambright, and the Ist Wisconsin, commanded by
Bingham. The accounts are comparatively net? to
us. The battle itself was one of terrible fatality’ to
many of Nashville’s former residents, as the force
directly opposed to the above-mentioned'regiments
was the Ist Tennessee, commonly known as Ma
ney's regiment. I‘gave you some facts relating_to
their commander in one of my late letters. Maney
himself was not killed, as at first resported, but es
caped without a scratch. The lieutenant colonel,
Patterson, who was billed, was a young man, for
merly ef Nashville, and a member of the Rook City
Guards, the crack corps of this place, and among
its members were-sons of the wealtbiest men. On
the starting for Western Virginia, however, it was
fouDd that very few of the original R. C. G. : s were
•in the ranks-as- privates, many of them having,
by money and- influence, obtained officers’-com
missions in that or some other regiment.
As it is, though; the city has lost some; fifty young
men in the Chaplin hills battle. Mr. Lucas, of the
house of Trabue &’Luoas, lost ah only son. JVlr. L.
is one of the original Union men: Capt. Wheless
is reported mortally wounded, and is the son of a
staunch Union man ■ residing in this county. But
the stroke fell' heaviest upon the young ladies of
the town; those who-are usually termed the “ beau
ty and fashion, 5 though the former has been nearly
obliterated by passion, tears, and the absence of
chalk, and the latter for the want of the Northern
fall styles, does not appear at all. . Thes a young
women went about from house to house, bewailing
the loss of friends, and in the same breath cursing
the Yankees, under whose protecting oare they
live, move, and have their being. J?or three days
after the news of the Kentucky fight reached us,
we heard and saw nothing but weeping, wailing,
and gnashing of teeth.
THE NEGRO‘POPULATION GROWING LARGE;
The negroes are getting thicker and thicker every
day, and the chances are that they will exceed the
number of white residents in the city soon. They
come in singly, in pairs, in droves, and in whole set
tlements. What the poorthings will do this winter
I am at a loss to conjeoture.
THE SCARCITY OP THE NECESSARIES OF LIFE.
The soldiers are on half rations, notwithstanding
the tremendous hauls made by the forage Iparties.
There is no butter, coffee, or sugar in .market, and
the chances are that other commodities will soon
suspend existence. , B. C. T.
LETTER FROM KANAWHA VALLEY.
Advance of General Cox—A Rebel Force
in the Rear, ,
[Special Correspondence of The Press.]
Point Pleasant, October 31,1862.
The intelligence comes, in reliably that the ad
vanccup tbo Kmiu.wlm Las proceeded rapidly,
'~and~without v any check «o‘it« progress by thV(Me- !
my. General Cox, with the portion of the forces
immediately under him, have reached Charleston
without any opposition, and his advance is six miles
farther jip the ! river. _..The J army, passing up the
Valley of the Kanawha, presented a most pictu
resque and stirring, sight. The valley is rich and
fertile, and there are many fine residences all along
the roads, both sides of the'river, the owners of
which are principally Secessionists, and the dark-,
skinned, woolly-headed operatives, that carried oh
these plantations, have taken advantage of the
proclivities of their masters, and the contraband
law, to vamose-the'ranche, and they are riearly.all
to be found lounging about Point Pleasant and
Gallipolis, distinguishable for aragged, dirty, loaf
ering, independent sort of a no-use-to-anybody air,
that marks all contrabands, and is becoming both
a nuisance and a' curse to sympathizers.
HO REBELS THIS SIDE OE GAULEY.
It has been positively ascertained that there is no
force this side of Gauloy, that is, any force that is
connectedwith the main body of the enemy. They
seem to be falling back on a new base of opera
tions. It was not expected that they would stay,
long in one place when Floyd got command.
GENERAL MILROY.
General Mikoy, who, with his portion of our
forces, moved up the valley from another base-'of
operations, somewhere in the vicinity of Parkers
burg or Clarksville, was, by appointment, in the
time-table heretofore made out, to be at Gauley
to-night,- and. by this stragetic movement was to
cut off the retreat of the enemy, who ware, by the
time table before mentioned, to be bagged some
where between vGauley: and Charleston, but the
stupid rebels have again refused to enter into any
such contract,. and have persistently managed to
keep just.oat-side the short harness in which our
profound, stragetic generals [had intended to work
them.
REBELS’IN THE REAR.
As is custsmary with all our advances ,into the
country of the enemy, whenever the large body of
our army has passed on, making rapid strides to
overtake the flying foe, a band or detachment of
the enemy have turned up in the rear- to cut off the
supply .trains. A’ force of the rebels was seen yes
terday, jqsk above the Red House, said to be eight
Hundred, strong, watching the road for train
wagons i by good luck, it so happened that there
were no.wagons in that immediate vicinity, at that
time„.and nothing was captured., And now begins
the.same old style of leaving detachments at this
place .and. that place, and every “-important point,”
as,a base for supplies - along tha road, which will
soop hav* the advancing army principally engaged
iinguaiding the road for supplies, and whittled
down. to a corporal’s guard fori active operations.
The Kanawha river has rissa some, and is now
navigable a 3 far as Charleston j boats are running,
up there. The Ohio has only.come up eleven inches,
at this place, and is yet top shallow for much steamy
boating. - Felix.

miles west of Ohewalla, day before yesterday The offii
cer bearing it—liicntehant Colonel Major, formerly in the
Bulled States Army—was instructed to deliver Ms dis

Hamilton sent word that he considered that there was
nothing of sach importance between IliC opposing arrnies
that communications could not be made in the usnai
way, and that if the Confederate officer did not
teic that view he might return. He chose -to
deliver bis despatches, however, and was prevented the
opportunity of examining onr works, which really was
the object in view. Tan Dorn denied that he used pa
roled prisoners to do garrison duty, and that onr soldiers
held as prisoners were ill treated. Of course both state
ments are untrue, for, as I have already informed you,
many of the rebef dead were found on the field of Co •

General Buell’s Farewell to his Army,
The following general order was issued by General
Bnell on the occasion of his relinquishing his commani
to General Boseorang:
Headquarters Arm? of the Ohio, -
Louisville, Kv., Oct. 30,1862.
GENERAL' 0 XDEi’.S No. -150.—In' obedience' to orders
from the headquarters of the army, Major General
Bnell relinquishes the command of the district end army
of the Ohio to Major General W .B. Bosecrang.
It is impossible for the general, without feelings of
regard and a warm interest in their futnre success, to
tart with troops whom he has been the instrument of
converting, for the most part, from raw levies into a
powerful army, honored, by common consent, for its
discipline and efficient organization, for its esprit de
corps, and for victories unqualified by a single reverse,
ana whose fortunes he has followed far a twelve month,
over a field of operations, embracing considerable por
tions of four fctates, through difficulties and dangers
which its fortitude and conrage have mastered without
accident or failure. . ■
It has, recently, by a rapid march of five hundred
miles, with limited subsistence, often with an inadequate
supply of water, returned to Kentucky and driven from
her borders a powerful army, and haviDg re established
lie communications, is now well on Its way to meet the
enemy at other points. The occasion is not convenient
for recounting its services during the past twelve months,
but the army may' well recur to them with pride. If
anything has not been: accomplished which was practi
cally within the sphere of Its duty, the General cheerfully
holds himeelf responsible for the failure. The General
r< fleets with pride that the army under his command has,
for the most part, been bee from petty jealondeg and
intrigue; that it has neither indulged in vain boastings
nor tarnished its high characier-by bickerings and iow
criminations.: It will enhance his gratification, if it
shall carry to its new commander, who already has
earned its confidence and respect; by distinguished ser
vice,, the same noble qualities which-have characterized
if since its organization He wilt prayjhat.it may be
-the instrument of speedily restoring the TJnion to its in
tegrity; and there is no indivMnalin its rank* in whose
honor and welfare he will not feel a special interest.

The Bate Horrible Affair at Denton,
Maryland,
The Baltimore Nan contains the following account of
the horrible affair at Benton, Hd., briefly noted, in our
telegraph columns yesterday:
Denton, Mfl„ November 3.
Ton have, fionbt!eßs, ere this,heard of andgivempub
licity to the damnable deed of attempted rape andmur.
der committed by the negro man Jim Wilson, In the
upper part of this county, on the 30th ultimo ; and your
readers will not be much surprised, I take it*-to liaru
that the fiend who perpetrated the deed has been made
to suffer the penalty of his crime without “ due process
of law.”
It is impossible fo describe the effect of this dark and
unnatural deed upon the popular mind. On-Friday the
funeral of the little girl took place at the residence of
her father, and was largely attended by the people from
the entire section of the county. The scenes there wit.
nessed very naturally intensified the already fearfully
excited public mind, and the negro’, doom was plainly
written in the determined features of an exasperated
populace.
Towards night, on Saturday last, people from different
sections commenced arriving In town, and by eight
o’clock there were not' lets than three hundred persons
collected from different parts of the county, mainly,
however, from this and the upper district. About this
hour a general movement was made for the jail, and the
sheriff, being unsupported by an adequate.posse, could
only protest against the threatened violence. This, of
course, was of no avail; the crowd pressed forward and
gained an easy entrance to the passage of the building.
From thence they rushed up stairs to the room in which
the negro was confined, broke open the door with an axe,
and in a few moments reappeared outride with the pri
sonerin charge He was taken to a tree In the rear of
the jail, a rope was placed around his neck: and in lees
time than it takes to tell it, his body was dangling is the
air. Simultaneous y with the hanging, hia body was
perforated by, perhaps, a dozen or more musket and
pistol bails.
Thus a fearful retribution was summarily Tisited npon
the perpetrator of one of toe moat heinous crimes of
which it is possible to conceive; aad here, it was sup
posed and hoped, the; matter had ended, but in this the
public expectation was not gratified, and we are sorry to
hay tbnt the ecena wbloh followed! waa of a charaoter
jnatly meriting and doubtless receiving the condemna
tion of nearly all classes of the community. After being
pronounced dead, the more excited of the crowd took the
hody down and dragged it through the Btreet to the
colored people's chnrch, where it was suspended to a
tree. Various propositions, as we learn, were thenmsde
as to what further disposition to make of it, eneef which
was to place it inside of the chnrch and to bum both
together, These propoßl-ionß, however, were voted
down, and it was finally concluded that the body should
be taken to the river shore and-burned. Accordingly a
fire was kindled, the body was cut into small pieces, and
thrown into the flames end ccoanmed.
This last act, bb we have above intimated, was well
calculated to.shock the; morel.- sense of the community,,,
end to elicit everywhere 3xpressisns-of earnest con-j
demnation. In view of the aggravated erime, but few,-
comparatively, made any serious objection to the slmplp
hangtag of the culprit. In.viow of the exasperated state
of the public mind, and the manifest determination of
the crowd, the sheriff determined to make no forcible re
distance to the possession pfttha criminal, and in thishe
doubtless did well. Ai cn.early hour in the eveningijse
determined to remove autnegro to Easton jail for safety,
! and had Mm actually ;n,hia.carriage; but this was found
out, and he prudently yielded to a peremptory demand
for his return to the jail,.
The only piece in town where intoxicating Honors are
sold was closed afeon. early hour In the evening, aad
hence there were vary femlatoxicated persons to fec-seen.
Indeed, a survey of -.the vast concourse of people assem
bled showed thaidhe intemperate and rowdy, element of
the community waELby nOihieans largely represented-
During his fcapiieonmant the negro convejsedfreely
upon the subject of the horrible act he bod. committed,
and seemed |c appreciate the magnitudo,of its "char
acter. He sesumd apiai penitent, and anticipated that he
would be hung jriihoub a trial.

Point of View.
The Ei 'nbmond Dispatch prefessea to giro an exhibit
of the lose. of' the two armies frem the crossing of the
Bapidan to , ’to dose of recent operations on the Fotomao.
The following ' i* an extract:
The Govern ® 6 nt has accurate Hats of .-oar killed,,

11,600. At Sharps, '•“sow lose was about 6,000. But

Onr loss In the whole campaign, from thV Bapidan* t*'
their crossing into Virginia, was, accordisg" to the state
ment of Mr. Orooker. about 11,500 kilted, wounded, acA
missing- The Yankee loss at Harper’s FSrry was, he
cording to their own admission, the same. These Ttwoi
then, balance each .other, and all the rest ic clear gala to
us. First, they admit a loss ot 3,800 at Oeder'Euh (they
actually lost more, nearly 7,000); Pope sayc they lost in
the battle of'tbe 29tb of August, 8,000. Thc'-Mtimore
American or Sun (we do not recollect which? but wo
published the statement atthe timo) aaysthe7 loB2l7,oo9 "
in all the eamphlga up' to the second battle of Ehshassas,
which would give six thousand for the . battle oftheYltti.
Pope, we believe, saysthey lost 7-.000 at Manassnsf (Os
neraVLee,*by-th*.bye, paroled that number on tkefleld.)
McOleSlahsays they lost 1i%?98 at South Mountain'and*
Anfletsm. Lastly, ait the crossing, when they were at
tacked by A 1 P.'Hlli, they lost 3-009 killed, wounds*,'and
missing. Total, in round'numbers, according tetheir
own BtatementSj Wilii regard to their own losses, '
clear baience in our favor;
But the real loss was-far greater. General Lee pa*”
roitd 7,000 prisoners on tbu field of battle at Manassas. '
Three thousand wounded'prisohero, who were captured’'
by us, lad not bad their wounds dressed, on the third'
day after the battles Fvery man who saw tbs fleld says
there were as least five dead or wounded Yankees to one-'
Confederate. Every man who saw the field of Bharpa
burg aays there were five or elx-Yankees lying there to
ore Confederate. A ! correspondent of the Few York
Tribune sajß McOlelian lost 28;000 man there. This, we
have no doubt, is within the mark;, for McClellan has
never yet acknowledged the half of his loss on a eingis
occasion. Hia lots on the 14th all Confederate accounts
put down as tt least 8,000. Here, then,' is a statement of
what we believe to be very nearly the lcss of the Yankees
since Jackson first crossed the Bapidan;
From the Bapidan to the 30th Augu5t,,,.,.,, 20,060
Battle 30th August. 2T.C00
Battle 14th September 5,000
Battle of Bharpaburg.. 23,090
Battle with A. P. Hi 11... 3,600
Capture of Harper’s Ferry. 11,600
Total 95,000
JSuch'we believe to bo very nearly - the true stats
of the case We believe that, killed, wounded, drowned
and taken prisoners, the Yankees have lost; in the cam
paign from- the Bapidan, at least that-number of men,
and we give our reasons above for thinking so. How
many more they may havelost from disease ~we cannat
say j bntthatthe campaign has been to then a terriblr
destructive one, does not admit of a doubt. They pre
tend to have won a great victory at Bharpsburg. If so,
why de they not follow Gen. Lee and destroy his army 1
They boasted of their intention to do so, yebthey have
not triedit.
THE BATTLE AT CORINTH—WHO IS TtBSPONSt
‘ BLE FOR TEE’REBLE ATTACK? '
The correspondent of the Mobile Register, ia-a letter
dated Holly Springs,says;
The report of the battle which I sent you from-Tnpelo
was substantially correct, and there are but few change*
to be made in its statements. The affair resulted most
disastioußiy’to our arms, and was an unforiuuatwbion
der, which never should have been committed. I- tele
graphed you from Tupelo thatit was understood that
but one general was in favor of the movement, and san
guine of its success. This statement I have .found eiaoe
to be true in’ every respect. I have learned from both
Gen. Price and Gen. Novell that they were utterly op
posed to the advance on Oorintb, and offered every ob
jection to it, advising an advance on Bolivar, to cm*
the enemy ’a force at that point, cut off their source of
supplies and reinforcements from Oorintb, end theri mske
an effort to manoeuvre the enemy out of their entronch
mentato an open and equal field. All opposition Droved
useless, and Yah Bern, with adetermined madness, equal
to that of Charles X, advancedhi* willing army into th*
mnrderonß trap that had been set for them. He blinded
himself tothe’force of the enemy, and persisted, eve*
after the engagement had occurred, and our forces been
repulsed, that. the enemy did not - outnumber his own
forces. It is an unpleasant duty to hare to place Gen.
Yan Born in this light before the publio, but ft is a duty
which we are called upon to perform at his expense,' la
order to plsce the blame where it is due, and free Gnu
ralß Lovell and Price from any blame which may impro
perly have been attached to them.
From a conversation with the latter, I am fully con
vinced that he wholly disapproved of the attack as it was
made, and desired to advance upon the enemy at another
point, but himself and General Lovell were overruled by
the will of: the,, commanding general, who alone standi
responsible for the disaster. The fearful loss in oar ranks,
as attested by the list of casualties, tells how bravely and
desperately our forces fought in the vain endeavor to
overcome superior, numbers and every advantage of for
tification and entrenchment. There has been great diffi
culty in obtaining the list of casualties, owing to the
length of time it has taken commanding officers to report
officially.
This place has been thrown into quite a state of ex
citement to-day by the reception of a despatch sent from
prominent citizens of this place to the President, re
questing him to plaoe some one in command over Yan
Bom—some one characterized by sobriety and sense—
to -. take command of what remained of the fine army
which General Yan Bom had taken to Corinth. The
despatch from the President, states thatJGieatenaat
General Pemberton will take command of the Dep ali
ment until General Johnson shall have sufficiently re
covered from hia wounds to asanmo the command.
Great pleasure was manifested at tbis announcement, the
people feeling that any change would be for the better.
LATEST PROM LITTLE ROCK, .ARKANSAS —tttk
CHARGES AGAINST GENERAL HINDMAN.
...We have reliable information fiom Little Bock, as late
as Wednesday week, and a copy or the Arkansas Patriot
of October sth. .We subjoin the most important items of
news:
General Holmes was still in command, and the small
force be bad was constantly receiving accessions. Th#
conscript law was being rigidly enforced in Texas, Loui
siana, and Arkansas, and the conscript forces were dally
arriving at Holmes’ headquarters, which are now situ
ated at Yellville, Marion county, about 100 miles from
Little Bock, and near the Missouri line. If was esti
mated that updo Wednesday week. Holmes had under
his control, at Yellville, about 20,000-men, a large por
tion being conscripts.
General Hindman, our readers wfil. remember, was de
tected by .Bragg, at Corinth, in signing his (Bragg’s)
name to orders he never issued, and sent to Memphis la
disgrace: While here he went to the banks in this city,
and, under tint assumed authority of General Beauregard,
made them fork over to him one million dollars for ope
rations in Arkansas. Alter getting into his own State,
he issued a series of. most extraordinary military order*.
First, be declared martial law; next, he had ail the cot
ton either seized for the Confederate Government or
burned t next, he ordered that all provisions, of whatever, .
kind, likely to fall into Gen. Curtis’ hands be destroyed,
and that which the people failed to destroy he destroyed
for them; next, he lamed an order that all the wells in
the country, that Cnrtis might pass, through should be
poisoned; next, be refused to let reputable citizens , put ,
substitutes into the army; and finally, he refused te
let any good citizen pass beyond the limits,
of Arkansas for any purpose .. whatsoever. In
deed, all of Hindman’s military acts are said to
bear Jbe marks of a despotio and unfeeling man, and
it is not to be wondered at that there has been a great
reaction In the public, mind of that, State. The-people *
have got heartily rick of his rule, and through the Lr
stiumeatality of General Albert Pike he has been ar
rested, and is now a -military prisoner at Little Bock,
bound for Bichmond,: where he will be tried for high
crimes and misdemeanors
The people of Little Bock and vieSnityaro represented
as having a bard time getting something to eat . Bacon
is thirty to forty cents per pound, and flour was not to
be had at any price Indeed, 'starvation almost looked
them in the face, and* fearful time is before the people
of Arkansas the coming winter.
BBSEjS. ACCOUNT OF THE, ,PI3BT,AT POCOJ-ALIGIJu.>.
The Richmond Dispatch, October 31st, says:
In the fighfof ’Pocotalige, it appears that the enemx’js -
force consisted of detachments of eight regiments, from
Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Con
necticut. Each detachment numbered 400 men, so that
the attacking force of infantry consisted of about 3.SSO. -
men, heEide which there waa a full battery of field piece*
