A Soldier’s Souk.
Boms of our hospital soldiers betray great genius,
and occasionally we find among them a genuine poet.
Becentiy all the convalescents had bsen discharged
from a certain room, leaving but one poor fellow to suffer
alone. Belem going, and while taking their adieu of the
sole occupant, the wounded than arose on his elbow, and
vented bis feelings in the following impromptu:
Oar voices blended in the shout,
Then mingled in the mown.
And, comrades, now you leave poor Bob,
lo suffer aff alone.
Then witness now these tears that flow,
And beer these sobs that start;
Remember me where’er yon go—
-4 Tis sad that we most part.
The blood is hounding in my veins,
And tbrongh my Union core; '
So boys, perhaps, we’ll meet again.
Within the din of war.
But should I linger hero to see
Old scenes upon this wail.
I’ll strive to cheer my weary self
By visiting OAK HALL. .
Where Clothing of every variety—both for citizans
and soldiers-—may be found, in very host style, and at
lower prices than elsewhere. Our facilities for the par
chase of goods, and their manufacture, cannot be eur
passed, and that accounts for onr reasonable prices.
We shall be happy to show the publlo through the
great OAK HALL.

LETTER f ROM PAKSONJBKOWNLOW,
Looiavtnns, Ky., November 17,1862. .
To the Eiiter of The Frsss .•
Sts: General Morgan’s division of the army, late of
Omnberland Gap, Is arriving hero by regiments, cs fast
as the boats can land them, And here his command is
divided. He ta ordered to report at Hemphls, with a
portion of his command. The East Tennessee Regiments
ate ordered to report to General Boseorans, at Nashville,
and are understood to be intended tor the service going
Into Hast Tennessee, which will be pushed forward at
once •> in force,” at least not falling ehart ol one hundred
thousand men. Two of onr Bast Tennessee Regiments
left last night for N ashvlUo, and two others here will be
off to-night, and so on, as they arrive, until they are
through to the main gforce. The East Tennesseans are
perfectly delighted with the idea of going under RosS
crans, and of his loading them into East Tenneaass!
And, as they approach that country, I advise all Soces
sionista who hav)not made their peace with God- toleave
<* for parte unknown.”
The rebel forces under Breckinridge, Cheatham, and
others, are retreating from Htttfreesboro and Lebanon '
towards Chattanooga, where they have an tmteenae rebel ■
armyi as well as large supplies of arms and provisions.
Beseorans' will follow them leisurely, patting through
immense army eapplles from this point, with eaasl fsclii-.
ties for transportation. Tfaa rebels are' destroyihg'thk
reeds and .bridges as they go, bat the.dtrt reads were
never in finer condition, and . the streams.are all low,
The advance can repair the bridges rapidly, and the main
force can follow on, keeping themtelves in good condi
tion. I have nnboneded confidence in Roiecranß, and
tho country may !cok out for a triumphant march into
East Tenneesee, but for the spilling of much Mood, and
the loss of many Uvea on both sides, in passing Chatta
nooga. 1
I shall start to■ day to Nashville, and the last forty
miles of tbs journey of two hundred is by private con
veyance, and rather hazardous, as Morgan’s gaerill-ui
are continually arresting travellers la that unsrier. Sly
judgment - is agairet my taking this risk, bat Lam urged
to go in connection with the interests of. East Tennessee',
If I toil to write egain, the readers of The Frets may
knew that the rebels have taken me, and they may then
infer that I have looked op a rops l *,
The,heart or a Union man, desiring to swthis infernal
rebellion w; shed out, sickens to come into KehtMky and
hear the true state of things as they ore ani as they
have been. Oat ol 0,000 voters in Louisville 1.600 of
them are Eaceeeionistg, and these carry with them thon
saeds who aro .sa out-spoken and as rabid as the vilest
rebels in the Confederacy. A large smuggling trade is
going on between this city and the Confederacy, and has
been all the'time.' I will give two instances of many :*
A citizen here obtained a permit to open a store In GdUia
tin. Middle Tennessee, and there sold oat his wfaoleatock,
at a large advance, to a citizen of Knoxville, who edit.
voyed the goodß by wagons! A similar owe oconrred,
'in every respect, in Springfield, Bobincon oonnty, Mid
dle Tennessee, and the Knoxville manhonght ont tho
stock,an4 took the goods by wagons to Knoxville! This
sort of game is being played ont all the time between
Louisville and Cincinnati, on the one part, and the rebel
States upon the other. The fact is notorious here, that
more salt haa gone Booth from LoaisvlUe this season, un
der these corrupt permits, than has usually gone in
. Smes or peace. The loyal readers of The Frees may be
inclined to ask Bit onestions: Bow is lids? and wby is
It? Why Isnot the blockade enforoed with more vigor?
I will atate a few facts, and leave tho reader to answer
his awn questions. Two classes'of men hava been In
charged important military posts, and of the Govern
ment offices, in various portions of this country, over
since the rebellion, was Inaugurated, and no good hai
been done under their auspfoes, and never will he. The
olasws I allude to are traitors and Foots. The" army
has been cursed with generals who are, at heart, on the
tddo of the South, and with contractors, furnishers of
supplies, and various other employees, whose sympathies
are all on the side of the rebellion. These unmitigated
villains desire the war to be pro traded, evenfer years to
come, that they may make money outef It. .They openly
denounce the emancipation proclamation, and, by their
conversation, prejudice the people and soldiers against
the Government. Hr. Lincoln has made a sad mistake
in appointing many men to. office, in military and civil
positions, and he sow commits a greater mistake by con.
tinning them in office. Many of these men are' tolling
the people that toe rebellion can’t bo put down in Lin
coln’s time, but that the Democracy will come into power
after awhile, and they win compromise with the South.
These men have been commissioned by Mr. Lincoln not
to serve the country, bat to break his Bead and aid in the
ruin of the country.
So far as tho late invasion of Kentucky is concerned,
no effort tout m ade by General BneU to capture' General
Bragg’s army. This may seem like strong language, but,
I repeat, Buell did not want to capture Oe enemy, or he
could have dime it with ea».. QnVth»-otb«p baed, he
desired their escape, and he had actually to take some’
trouble to enable them to escape ! X wish I were
Fiealdont of the United States twelve months, with all
the money and power of the Government at my com-'
mand 11 would put down this rebellion, and rid the army
of traitors!
The amount ot corruption in every department of the
Government is perfectly astounding, and, at the same
time, disheartening to a toyed man. If I were editing a
public journal I would expose these brands, fids treachery,
and all connected therewith, if it cost me my life, I can't
think of what is going on now, in Kentucky and Ten
nessee, with any degree of allowance. And such is my
indignation, that I can’t trust myself to write longer
upon the subject. I would not have said what I hare,
bat thinking it possible that file rebels may capture me,
I wish to record my protest against all traitors aui
thieves who are seeking to destroy the only Government
to which I acknowledge any allegiance on earth.
W. G. BBOWNLOW.
LETTER FROM LOUISVILLE.
~ ' Camp of Armbsos Oivansr,
Neon Loursviu,*, Kv,, Nov. 15,1883.
[Special Correspondence of The Press ]
After about three months of anxiety, lest we would net
See the West this winter, onr troop baa; I.believe, be
come a << permanent arrangement,” and we find ourselves
at last encamped on Kentucky son. You cannot appreci
ate what a relief this is to me, (none but an Anderson
can,) and I believe this is the esse with almost alt the
members of the troop, especially these who enlisted, ex
pecting and hoping soon to take an active part in crash
ing out this rebellion. It takes all kinds of men to make
a regiment; and, notwithstanding the fact that the
average intelligence and good character of the men
composing the Anderson Troop, is (I am led to believe)
a little above that of most other regiments in the service,
there have been several desertions. About the time of
onr departure Irom Carlisle, ten or twenty deserted, and
I am sorry to say, a majority wore tfrom Philadelphia,
'Wbat.excuse theca renegades may.have to offer for their
conduct, I care not. I fee] that, as for as their connec
tion wifif this iroopis concerned, their course is without
justification. They have cast a shadow over the fair
reputation oi cur regiment, and the city from whence
they came; hut perhaps we are better without
them. The citizens of Philadelphia, from whom they
have received a bounty and many kind wishes and
prniere, ought to know them. They are cowards,
equally despicable with the rebels themselves. If
within my power, I wiU send yon a list of their names
for publication.
SITUATION OF THE CAMP —ARRIVAL OF NOTED
Our camp is situated on the commons, on the south side
of LoniaviUe, where General Bneil’a army vas encamped
before its last advance Into the interior, and where the
old troopß were drilled one year ago. There are camps
on all Bidoe of ns, including those of .the 25th Michigan,
3d and 6th TenneEsee Infantry, and the 4th Kentucky
Cavalry. Most of the latter are composed of refugees
from Kentucky and Tennessee. They are men who have
felt and known from experience something oi the horrors
of this war; men who have left their homes only with
their lives, leaving behind wives, chUlren, parents,
everything near and dear, in the hands and at the
metey of the most relentless, embittered, and barbarous
foes the world has ever known. Bat they shall return
again, aid destruction shall follow their track. I thought"
once that true loyalty was to be found only at the North,
but none of ns have made the sacrifices of these men.
Surely their reward will be great. The Hon. Horace.
Maynard aid Parson Brownlow arrived here to. day.
The latter has sons in the 3d Tennessee. Mpst of the
men of this regiment are from the neighborhood of
.Knoxville. I understand that the Parson will deliver
one of his characteristic sermons to-morrow. Having
been unable to hear him while In Philadelphia, I will
make it my bUßineas to be present.
DISMISSAL OF OFFICERS.
The dismissal of Major Ward and Oapt. Vealn—the
qffler to that effect having been read to ns while at Car
lisle—has been the cause of mnoh sorrow in the entire
command. For my part I feel, that elnoe the oaptnre of
Captain Palmer, nothing has happened that has been or
■o much disadvantage to us as the removal of these ofil.
cers. My acquaintance with them had been slight, and
yet I knew enough to make me respect them as men rad
soldiers, who I believe are surpassed for true worth by
few men in the service. Their restoration to command
wDI be hailed with joy by the greater portion of onr mem
my sincere wiah is that it may be soon.
SECESSIONISTS.
There Is no use cloaking the matter, we are surround
ed by Secessionists of aU ages and conditions. Onr dress
parades, witnessed by so large a number or the citizens ot
Carlisle, while at that place, are attended by but few of
the people of Louisville—not more than a dozen ladleß
have been present on any of theae occasions. As a gene
ral thing the ladles (so-called) of the city took upon lIS
with apparent contempt as we pass them in tbs streets.
A large part of onr. equipments, including, saddles and
bridles, have arrived to-day; we are as yet, however,
without horses.
GENERAL ROSEQBANS.
General Boeeciana is reported at Nashville. I think
We win soon be thoroughly equipped, and an early depar
ture for his headquarters is expected. 2am on guard to
day, and thinking that a letter from onr troop, published
in your paper, would be read by our many friends at
borne, I have taken the opportunity between reliefs to
write a few lines. It has been done hastily; I hope it
will notproveentlrely uninteresting. Yours, truly,

river, at night, ere ruddy with the light of camp fires.
The oity is now under command of Major General A.

quarters, on High street, Gca. Negley having now taken
up his aoode in the house owned and formerly occupied
by General Zoiliooffer.
GEN. EOSECKANS IN TOWN.
Gen. Boseorans arrived in town on tho evening of'the
lOlh, and was visited at hla rooms, at tho St. Cioudi by
nearly ail our prominent Union citizens,and the resident
officer*. It is understood, though not yet offieiatly.an
nouheed, that a forward movement is to take place on the
12th tost. The let Tennessee battery, whioh has, Bines
its formation, had- Us quarters at the Oapitot, is to ac
company the advance. Among other notabilities haw
in town is General Jeff.. 0. Davis, whose command is
still on the other side of tbs -river. Goo. Davis called,
yesterday, en tho Governor and Provost Marsha!.
He lscks in fine health, and will move with his
brigade to-noriow, I am informed. To-day, there Is a
review of troops, consisting of the division under com
manded Gen. J. 8. Negley. It is rnmeted at the Capitol
to-day, that Gen. Negley has been promoted to the rank
of niijorgeneral— this is rumor merely, an 4 may not be
true. 'Up to Oils writing we have not received a mail,
though we wen assured -last 'Saturday that the wagons
contokdng.lt. wow jdet across the Cumberland—no doubt
they Freon the other ride, -but probably nearer Franklin

will soon be completed to this city, and will run as early

VWIhITABY RESTRICTIONS-REMOVED,
Gefo dtegley laet week: removed the restrictions horo
ioforejplaced upon the system of granting passes, and Ist
suedfan order, which gave the provost marshal power to
gtanfpasses to.citizens of undoubted loyalty, on any of
therdkds loading out of this city. Ocmsoqtitmtty, tho
roomilof the marshal are thronged with citizens—men,
vcmen, and ohildrsn—ait anxious to obtain passes;
some.to biing wood, others marketing to town; whfie a
great many are desirous of going North In compliance
wltblhe order, no passes are given to my parties who
declii'9 signing the oath of allegtano; and many biker
rebels, both he and she, are greatly disappointed thereat;
Another, serious annoyance to the demi-reps is the re,
fusel of the provost marshal to grant passes to visit the
Confederate pritouers at the penitentiary, unless the ap
plicant be a near relative of some prisoner. Formerly
gasses were nearly always given to alt applicants, and
the consequence was a sort of levee at the prison, at
which all the delicacies .of the season were spread, and
the repast and treason discussed in common. Now the
prisoners are allowed ail the good things.their friends
may'iflsh to contribute, but they must be left bntstde’the
pliion doors, marked for whom they are intended.
The ci izffljs are not now obliged to bo within doors at:
9 F. H„ ae, by a recent order, all cittzsns are allowed to
pats about the town until 12 o’clock, without being halted
at evsty’ corner, and, in many instances, kept in Hie
guard home until morning The word “halt” has become
so familiar go our people that the darkeys use it now to
stop (heir mules, instead of the long used “ whoa.*' I
judge, from several sadden stoppages that I hava lately
wiiiiesMd, that it answers the parpom equally well.
A courier, recently sent out by Governor Johnson and
General Negley, with important despatches, met with a
variety, of adventures, the narration of'whlch raaybein
fere&tk’gJto your readers, ** showing the treatment onr
messengers receive from tho bands of robbers who lurk
on every road to rob and plunder travellers.
TBAYEI. OPENED UP,
TbeJcourier left Nashville on the Siinst.wlth de
spatchea and private letters, and passed over the road
: witlior* difficulty until he reached MttehelsviUe, and was
ridin'gdver Bed-river bridge, when sixteen of Morgan’s
guerillas earns in right, and ordered him to halt. He !m
-me&HMyrode rear the ride of the bridge, and threw
moat of bis papers into tbe river. The leader, observing
thoniovement,fired his gun, the ball jest grazing his
headl and immediately ordered him to dismount, wade
into the water, and bring ont the letters. He obeyed,
bat, Stead of recovering, used his best efforts to destroy
luchMSters and despatches as he could reach. - Tho rob
bersi who were looking at him from the bridge, fired
several shots at, him, which luckily missed him, but
splashed- the water ail around where he stood. After
cothing enk of the river, he thought he would try to give
bis captors the slip by nrnniDg away, but, being much
benumbed and,exhausted, he fell ere proceeding a dozen
yards. The gneriflas soon overtook him, and tho liente
nant, placing his revolver at his forehead, told hlm'to go
on Ms knees and spy hla prayers, if he had any to say,
for he had but a mtenent to live.
uted'M* authority in this. tostanoe,.and
prevsitedMa-subordttSte from mnrderfiiglilm. After
stripping and Bt archlo* him, be waa allowed to ride hia
own horse bare-backed to Gallatin, the headanartere of
John Morgan, the robbers having appropriated hissaddle,
blanket, bridle, Ac., together with .all hia papers and
thirty-five dollar* in money, to their own use. Arriving
at Morgan’s headquarters, he was placed tinder gaud in
the house Morgan waV then 'occupy tog, wMch was, by
the way, Col. Bfinnett’s residence, who was a prisoner in
Nashville some time' since, and recently exchanged.
The first salntation he received from Hie ehivairic Mor
gan snu, “Yon d—dvillain, wo got yon at last,and,
d—n yon, Til have yon shot before night.” The prisoner
told him he could murder him, bnt, sail be, drawing a
Confederate army discharge from bis pocket, l demand a
trial by court' martial.
Morgen, after carting him awhile, told him he couldn't
tee why euch d—d scoundrels ai he wanted to be tried
by court martial; but remarked that he had no time to
attend to inch matters, and wonld send him to Brackin'
ridge, at Mnr/reoaboro. The cornier haring by this
means gaini d time, which, under the circumstances, was
whet be moat needed, he ventnred to ask Morgan for Ms
horse. * ‘l’ll keep your horse for yon safe tmtii you’re
hung,” and with thie Morgan left. Soon after he was
take n to Murfreesboro, Ms guards riding while he was
compelled to walk. Baring this tedious trip he several
times fell from exhaustion, and had finally to he carried
in a wagon the last nine miles of the rente. The dis
posal of the case was referred to Breckinridge, bat he
being sick deferred the'trial for a day or two. This
lncky illness' was probably the means of saying our
Mena’s life, as Breckinridge sent him word that he
ehonld surely be hung, and that he need expect no
mercy shown him. He was confined in the upper story
of the court house with several other prieonera
charged with being spies. The rebels whom he
met reported that Morgan’s men had burned both
the railroad and pontoon bridges at Nashville,
and that the rebel force at Murfreesboro was never
more than five tbomaad men. The room in which
the courier was confined boasted of neither chair
nor bed, nothing but a rieketty table and an old mat.
After, some deliberation, the only article of furniture
which teemed of any nee was the mat, which, with the
aid of a broken-bladed penknife, he converted into a frail
rope. At night he opened the solitary window of the
room, and fastening one end of the rope to a past, he
began his perllons descent, mid at last reached the ground
safely, and made for the woods. Hot-knowing the points
of the compass, he was a long time trying to discover the
right road to Nashville, but at last reached the Nashville
pike, which he kept until obliged to leave it by the an.
merctu guerilla camps, scattered along ail parts of the
road for the entire distance. Whenever he observed
horsemen, or saw toe light of the camp fires, he wonid
strike for the woods, where he wonld lie until safe to ven
, tore out again. Thus dodging about, first on toe road
and then among the woods, he, after three days’ travel,
with nothing to eat save a mouthful ef corn bread,
fnrnißhed him by a negro, reached a house near the
Federal nickels. Seeing no light, he went around and
found the family [in the rear of toe house at euppsr.
Celling toe proprietor to the doer, he asked him what
' road he was on. “The Noiaasville road,” replied the
gentlemanly Br. T. “And how far from Nashville?"
said the' courier, <« Two miles.” “ Are those our
pickets?” asked the courier. “I don’t know,” said
Mr. T„ “wbioh pickets you mean by ‘ our pick its.' ”
“Why,” said the courier, “the Confederate pickets, of
courses’’ “ Oh,” said Mr. T-, *• we!!, those don’t .hap
pento.be our picket*.” “Thai,” says our friend, “ I’m
all right, and mack obliged.” Befusing all invitations
to remain over night, finding he was among blends, he
.related bis escape from toe rebels, and soon after reached
toe pickets, where he was warnly . welcomed by the offi
car in command, who furnished him with a horse and
escort, with wbioh he reached headquarters,. His ar
. rival was unite unlooked for, ofconrßO, and greatly sur
prised both the Governor and General Negley, who were
fearful that he had been killed by his captors. After a
three days’ root he is as well an ever, and says he is willing
to g[ve Morgan Mother chance to capture himi.whea
ever the Government needs his services.
THE DRAM A. REVIVED.
We are. to have a reopening of toe theatre to-morrow
evening, the May selected tor toe occasion being “The
Miser’s Daughter,” end., “A Kiss in'toe Dark,” with a
song by Hr. Dsffield, formerly of the Mobile theatre, an
excellent mannager, and a fine singer. The stage
management is under toe. direction of Mr. Glance 0
Hamilton; and our rotund friend, Bam, Simons, smiles
approvingly at toe numerous pottage-slumps handed in
at toe orifice. Sam and your correspondent, 8.0. T., left
for the North last Saturday. The tenner will bring back
with some valuable additions to toe company, at present
engaged. The departure of the train was witnessed by
an anxious end admiring crowd, who deeply sympathized
with toe unfortunate animals who were selected to puli
two inch heavy weights. One dirty little boy suggested
that two. hack* wouldn’t be too many; he was immediate
ly extinguished, however, and, soon alter.the “ gay and
festive cuss,” of The J°»*s, left ter the land, of mails
and ratiroads. Success to him! Wherever h© goes he will
be sure to make, friends; and the many who roiiiember
him here will all be glad to welcome him,on his return.

When It became generally known yesterday that Sen.
McClellan had left Trenton, in the State of Hew Jersey,
and bed arrived at the Kffth-ayenue Hotel, quite a num

him at his rooms. Many of, tbemTlfowever, were disap.

did not return until twolP. 5L -The feet that he was not
at bis published headquarters crested some dcubt as to
whether he was really ip the city, and, cosseqaenUy,
there were but few callers until evading, when, an had
been publicly announced, he was to be serenaded by toe
Voung Men’s Democratic Association.
The Sms the eerqmeucement of the serenade
was 10 P. M , btu aq early as a o’clock there were seve

It bad been assigned, but after'many inquiries and a

At twenty minutes ofetevuo o’clcclf, tbw Yo&bgllfeit’y

With them there easne several hundred citizfcM, who

repeated. groans' tor Gen. Fremont and Hr. Greeley.
There was a call for three cheers for Gen* Efernstde.
which waa responded 1 to by one faint cheer* and a 'dtd*

At length, the General appeared* accompanied by HK
Xihhe C?c2K&ns, President of the Young Hen r e Democratic 1

and waa ae often interrupted by oheera for the late Com.
maeder of the Army of the Potomac. Finally, he suc

OEITEREAL M^OhELLlN’S'speech;
Hy Friends: I thank yon cordially for thisapon
taneouß tribute ol regard. I accfptit sot for myself, but
for the Army of the Pbtomac, which.l once commanded,
[cheers], and in which you are so deeply Interested.
Every battle from Yorktown to Antietam has added new
proofs of the oourage and devotion of the eiilzan soldiers
of Hew York* and has increased the debt of gralEtade to
them. Ho portion of the Bepublio has more liberally
given its millions of money and thousands of men to the
oauee than this great metropolis. At the commencement
of the struggle no .community waa 'more prompt in
responding to the appeal of the Government for aid. Ho
community to a greater stake In the success of our oeuss
than this—uoue more closely bound by the ties of kindred
to the army with which I have been sty long associated.
I, therefore,' and my former comrades with me, will
feel doubly honored by the occasion this evening.
And it Is with a heart full to overflowing with gratitude
that I again thank ybufcVyoor presence to-night. You
know that I am still a soldier, and you wiiTndt exjpßct a
speech from me ; and you will* therefore* allow me to
bid you good night.
The General retired amid renewed cheering, and soon
afterward all was Quiet in front of the-Fifth-avenue

to move At daylight toe .next morning his advance
corps (Couch’s) was oh the road to Fredericksburg.
Howard’s division was in want of newdothlng: but it
did -notwait.. We marched ten miles; the clothing came
np from the.railroad after dark ; the garments for two
brigades wore all Issued that night, and at daylight toe
men were again upon the road, clothed and in their right
minds.
TEtEj TEANSPORTA.TION.
Upon this march toe right has had the advance, Couch
leading, and Wilcox following.one day in the rear. I did
not leave . Warrentb'n until 3 P. M. on Saturday, and was,
therefore, light hours behind too head of toe column. In
coming out to'toe front I was compelled to pass the entire
wagon train of the ports; Transportation has been
greatly cht down, and only six wagons are allowed to a
regiment, but I found toe corps train more than six miles
long. The entire transportation of the Army of the Po

mfles of wagons,' They can carry teed and forage to
supply the army for ten days, and ammunition enough to

sore, exhausted soldier, staggering under his gun,
blanket, and knapsack, will roc a quarter of a mile to
climb a persimmon tree and taste the rich,.unsatisfactory
fruit, Or to chase a squirrel pr rabbit That stimulus
gone,' he hurries back to'toe ranks, and relapses into his
old, jfeary, hopeless, woe-begone aspect Persimmons

% aqiNH.TO.Di)...
Boon pfter noon to-day, we encamped two mUes from
this place The rebels bad plaoted two batteries on toe
other lidehf the Rappahannock, just beyond Fredericks,
burgrwhieh placed our road under a cron fin,' aitd they
dropped a few sheila into It, as a hint for us to stop. Rut
Gen. Oeuoh sent out Caph Morgan,' fils obief of artUTery,
andTlapt. Pettit, at the Ist Hew York Artillery, to rel
connottre, while he went forward on foot in another di
rection for the some-purpose. Frpm pne of the biteSsof
the Rappahannock we had a fine view or Fredericksburg,
with its roofs and spires, and two long trains of ears, just
starting towards Biohmond, cohveyidg away the last
“porteble property” of the rebel troops.'They evidently
aid not o>6MtoQAke a. strong stand against si; bat
careful scrutiny with field glasses showed four ef their
gnus io position, ready to detain us as long as possible.
Pettit’s and OwenVfcotteriee were Immediately brought
forward, and planted on a Commanding hill half a mile
back of this town. Jos* as.tiey were fairly in position,
the rebels opened with, their, ton-pound Parrotts, at a
distance of 1,808 yards,.with toe river between us. Their
lint shells exploded in toe air, Immediately over cur
guns, , but proved harmless. Pettit replied promptly,
and, with bis usual accuracy, dropped the iron mlssiios
right among them. Owemfouowed suit, aad his practice
was excellent. The enemy’s guns overshot,. And their
frueß were a trifle too long. One of their shells knocked
a spoke from the, wheel of'one of our caissons; but toe
others all patse.fi.avof our heads, and we had' no casual
ties whatever.
The rebels’, position was completely commanded by
ours; end whas they had fired thirty -rounds, Pettit and
Owen made.it so hot for them that they all ran away into
the weeds. They afterward ventured out, and, by great
activity, succeeded in withdrawing their guns to the pro
tection ofi the forest, where they finally disappeared.

A dark in General Hardee’s an&rtermaater’gj

and lodged in the cue of the provost marshal. His wife*
and friends reside in Lagrange* and at once made earnest
Intercession for the prisoner. Pair before yesterday' he*
was released on parole, and is required to report at head
quarters three limes each day. He left the rebel army
after the retreat from Kentucky, and came frsm Chatta
nooga to Holly Springe by way of Mobile. He gays that
the army is suffering much for clothing, aod that he was
sent out to procure donations of whatever material could
be made up into garments or used for blankets.
SOMBTBHEKa ABOUT VILLIPfiJUE,;
He brirgs the Intelligence that General THlipiqne died
of pneumonia, at Fori Morgan) below Mobile, on the
evening of the 6th. He says the rebel Government is en
deavoring to suppress the news of Yfliiplqme’e death. It*
wae fold him by an officer in the train from Mobile to
Meridian, who assured him* that he was in Fort Mor
gan at the time of the occurrence. It will be remain-’
teredthat YiUfpfane commanded at Fort Pillow for some
time previous to the evacuation, and wrote several severe
letters to the rebel Government because he was pot pro
perly provisioned and reinforced. Subsequently his
army operated between Memphis and Corinth, crossing
the Memphis end Charleston railroad, and threatening
to retake Fort Pillow. At the recent attack, upon Corinth,
be commanded a division of the rebel army, and is satd to
have conducted himseli with great gallantry, it is quite
possible that he is, at this moment, alive and well, and
may enjoy the pie mure not often vouchsafed to mortals,
of pemsfng his own obituary. I give the Btory of the
ex-clerk for what it is worth.

My informant confirms the statement that there has
bien much ill-will between Price and Van Horn since
the battle of Corinth. General Price had openly threat*
esedtoeendin his resignation unless Yon Bern weze
removed from the supreme command. It is even asserted
that he bad drawn up a document announcing his with
drawal before the order fbr Ydn Horn’s supsrsedtzre ar

BRAGG I OSES CONFIDENCE.
Gen. Bragg has lost the confidence of neatly Ml Ms
officers, and is not popular witn his men. He has baea
called to Bichmond ostensibly to answer charges. His
army has been divided, and Is under Gen. Jos, Johnston
and Bishop Major General Polk. The ex-clerk says
that Buell was looked upon as the ablest general of the
Federal army, and only inferior to Gen. Lee, of tha rebel
army. He also asserts that BaeU is universally con
sidered so thoroughly in sympathy with the rebels, that
he would never give them battle or inflict any injury
' where lie could poasibly avoid it Had any general other
than Buell commanded the Army of the Ohio, Bragg
would never have made Lis campaign Into Kentucky.
Is reply to an inquiry as to the rebel opinion of Mc-
Clellan, my informant said; «* We consider him nearly
as good a friend touß as Buell is. All the time he was
on the Peninsula and bo near Bichmond, no one of as
had the slightest fear that be would take it. If he had
wanted to capture it, he could have done so a dozen
times, and we were unable to prevent ft.”
A MEM. FOE GEM. BANES.
The grand feeding ground of the Confederacy Is Texas,
from which supplies are brougbtvia Vicksburg, and they
• will be exceedingly reluctant to give it up. A salt mine
hsß been opened on the Bed river, and is being worked
With great energy. The salt is transported by steamers
to Vicksburg, and thence finds its way by
railroad. The occupation of the Mississippi by our gun
boats would cut off this source of supply. With the
Confederacy thus divided, their power would be greatly
Weakened. The rebel officers are represented as con
sidering the Federal occupation of the Mississippi only a
question of time, but hope that the inertness of our Go
vernment will allow them to retain it several months
longer.—Cincinnati Gazette. .
GEN. GRANT RETREATS FROM HOLLY SPRINGS TO

Grakd JtrsrCTiox, Nov. 15.—Soon after I had finfabaa
my letter from Holly Springs, detailing the incidents of
its capture and occupation,. Col. Lee received an order to
fall back to bur former position, three milcß from Grand
Junction.
Accordingly, orders were issued to foe commanders of
the regiments comprising the expedition, to have their
commands mounted and in readiness to depart by two
o’clock on the morning of the Idtfa. Before that time
mesSfengtra were despatched to the several picket stations,
and the pfohete instructed to return to town. Soon after
two P. M, the entire expedition were mounted, and the
ad vanoetockop-theirliseof marahfor Grand Junction.
Colonel Lee, with a battalion of the 7th Kansas, remained
behind to bring up the rear* and started not far from, five
in the morning.
It was expected that, the enemy observing our move
ment, would march into town and attempt to harass our'
roar guard. Either the movement was so quietly made
that he did not observe If, or, what is now probable, he
did not care to trouble us, in hia ignorance of our num
bers end plans They, made no demonstration In our di
rection. We rode rapidly out of the town, taking, the
usual precautions to guard against sarprise, and by 7
o’clock reached the house of Mr. Roberts, at whose plan
tation we sojourned the night before, Yarions were the
conjectures of the planter and Ms family as to the cause
of our hasty departure, but he was unenlightened.—-Cfct

AN INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL BEAGO’s WIFE.
The Wtilzel expedition from New Orleans to Thibo
deaux came upon the plantation of General Bragg An
interview with Mrs. Bragg is thus described:
In the vicinity of Thibodeaux is eitnoted the plantation
of Maior General Bragg. It, of course, attracted Mm
attention ofour soldiers, and hla negroes seemed to haw
a very intelligent idea of the relation their master atosdi
to the, national troops. As onr soldiers advanced. Lieu
tenant Colonel Warner, el the 13th Connecticut, received
word from Mrs. Bragg that ahewon'.d like to have a
guard to protect berproperty. This reddest was promptly
compiled with, and when Colonel W&rnercame up, twoof
hi* regiment were pacing qnietly before the door of the
mansion. They had,' however, arrived too late to «ave
the property entire. The negroes had taken advantage
of the opportunity to break open the closets, invade the
bureaus, rip open the feather and moss beds, to search
of treasure, and otherwise destroy valuables in the dif
ferent rooms.
Upon Col. Warner’s appearance, Mrs- Bragg, with
seme txcltement, commenced expressing “her mind.” I
knew this lady many yeare ego, long before she was mar
ried, and few women were handsomer, or more eloquent
Wiilh the tongue. I can therefore readily imagine that
Col. Warner got the worst of it, so far as words were con
cerned ; at any rate, I venture to remark that she had
the “lest say.” Cel. Warner suggested that it was a sat
tone. The lady said, “No one asxed the national troops
to tome to this viotolty, and why were they there”’
••Because,” sold the colonel, “our duty, and my duty,
which 1 learned from your once honored husband, taught
me to 'follow or flag, and defend every portion of my
country.” Mrs Bragg insisted that “the Yankees wets
intruders and invaders of the South.”
The Colonel replied to courteous language,' that ha
could not understand his position to that light,- and inci
dentally remarked that, as an old friend of General
Bregg’efhe would have been pleased loses Mm. At
Gils allusion the lady’s dark and sparkling eyes gashed,
and she said, 11 If yon would see General Bragg, you
should meet him to the Wedt end not hereon Ms planta
tion.” The Colonel,' with a little malice, replied «■■*
'• cur Western troope-had been frying to meet General
Bragg, bnt that their efibrte bad not been ritogether
successful ” Hereupon the lady demanded protection,
and getting to a carriage, rode beyond toe immediate
lines of Cnrtroops—sad, no doubt, to feel that her huo*
hand, ancUfhe trusted friend of General Taylor, and tha
hero ofoneofthe best fought battles on our continent
was now fleeing out of Kentucky a defeated rebel.
