-the robeU lost a major alsopirhile our loss l«
aaid to bd fetevon. But it is impoasiblo to got
at the truth. The rebels have falleu back.
Their cannon was mounted on a railroad
ear, which had a regular port-hole in it. This
wn9 seen plainly by many on our side, who
had glasses. To come up on the railroad with
n cauuon in that style, aud to blme away at
our med just when we were quietly taking
possession of tho country, was oininently
£»uffcertmA—wasn’t it t But they paid dear
for their whistle.
Buckber is reported to be quite near us ;•
and it is asserted positively that thero wero.
'over three thousand rebels only a little dis
tance from, us wbep the skirmish was going
on. It is more natural to suppose, though,
that thisro was bet a small body of rebels,
who desired to impress us with an idea ol
groat bravery, and who, the moment they wit
nessed our preparations, feoucluded to retire,
which they did, but With Icm men than tb«'j
had- bargained for. They came oret with a
flag of truce to-day, and proceeded to bury
their dead.
Wc are encamped upon tho edge “Of iiun
fordsvillc, a town about the sire of East Lib
erty, perhaps not so large. Gen. Buckner
lived nore. His house is but a small distance
from ohr camp. As near as I can judge, wc
are aboht foTty miles from Bowling Green and
at least one hundred and ten miles from Nash
ville, Tcnnessco. As I said before, oor men
arc in capital spirits, and very anxious to
pash on, and judging from appcarancos they
will soon be gratified.
I receive letters from every direction criti
cising the elow movements of the different
armies In the country. Certainly tho army in
Kentucky has not made rapid headway. They
have been preparing to march rapidly, how
ever- It is just possible we may be in Bowl
ing Green before another wcok seta in. T ; he
movements of this Division thus far reminds
me of thoM of a caterpillar. It moves along
very Slowly, reaches ont : its kead jbrefully,
tries the ground, and then, after ■‘‘humping
up” its hack, advances its head agaiirtufekly
over tbo ground. I have no doubt tho rebels
will find £8 as ugly as a caterpillar, but hoi
quite eo defenceless. There to© comparison
must end.
Notwithstanding * tho Irregularity of the
mail, I still receive the Oae*tu "pretty regu
larly. In the last (I havc only run my eye
over it) I perccivo you are at a los3 to account
for -the treatment Col. Hambright h*a suffered.
Knowing nothing at all about that matter, I
will not presume to toueh upon it farther than
to inhulfe why it is ; iieosa<ftry that the Penn
sylvania brigade sent to this State shoold be
split op. and parcelled oat here and there.
Should there bo no Pennsylvania brigades?
no Ohio brigades? Will any “State pride "
arising oat of saoh organisations in any man
ner interfere with their usofblness? Would
we, as a State brigade, deory others more, or
would wc, who know each other so well iu a
Pennsylvania brigado, treat each other lees
respectfully—tako to quarrelling “in tbs
family?" Or is it to make a “grand army"
(I never liked the name slnco that bad' busi
ness at Bull Run) that they tear down de
liberately that which required /ce/t«?, time
aad ingeuuity—and money to build dp ? Can
any ono 101 l mo. Per my own' part, I am
perfectly willing to fight or live boeide any ouo
coming from any State in the Union (not ex a
ceptlng South Carolina even) If ohan» plaofcs

inquire why another,.and a totally different

Affairs in Missouri.
Wabhenton, Mo., Deo.- 24.— The damage
to the North Missouri may be
summed up as follows : The bridges‘at Stur
geon, Centralia, Mexico, Jefistawn and War
rcnton, burned. Also, one station, and per
haps twenty cars; from 50 to 60 culverts,
large and small; three or four water itations;
10,000 ties; from 200 to 300 telegraph poles;
and five miles of iron and ton miles of wiro
rendered useless. Two trains—one having
eight car loads of hogs and several caw of
hemp, and having two bars'of mer
chandize—are in the possession of the rebels,
and four engines are lying where they can be
seized by them. Some of the men who be
longed to the trains have arrived here, from
whom I learn that the persons Awho did the
damago are yet encamped along iho road, 500
being at Allen Hill, and other bodies are near
i Martinsburg, Centralia, Sturgeon \»nd Allen.
At Centralia, they wore within half a mile
of the camp of the Diego Sharpshooters, and
destroyed a bridgo and water stationand
two freight trains were captured within, four
| miles of the camp of a detachment of the
j same force at Bewick. The work was directed
’ by practical railroad men, and the right
I coarso was always takon to make the destruc
tion completo. When the track was taken
up, the rails wore removed, the tie* gathered
in piles and set on fire, and the rails thrown
across the pile, so that when the centre of the
rails became hosted, the “flight of the cold
ends bent them, rendering them useless. In
destroying the bridges, the fires were kindled
wid«h wberaf hey waakl soooee.
throw tko bridge down, and tbe triuscl girders
which spanned tho open culverts, wore burned
with the tios to beat the rails, as were also
the frames 'on which the water tanks stood,
usually. Tho houses of railroad men, and or
aU Uoion .men.iu.iho. TicwitX-Srjhe road,
were inrronndcd, and. the inhabitants assured
! that no hartn was intended thorn while they
\ remained in doors. We hoar scarcely of any
pillage or any outrage,beyond the destruction
of the road and telegraph line. Thd damage
to tho road cannot fail short of $300,000, and
at least a month will be required to repair it
so that a train can pass.
Wabbxstok, Mo., Dec. 24.—8 y the arrival
from New Mexico we learn ‘ that tho bridgo
over Salt river, which is the largest find most
costly on the road, except that at Perrnane,
whieh tho rebels spared on Briday night, was
entirely destroyed on Sunday night. The
station house, atJncksonrilie, was also burn
rud» togethcrwlth .four or fire-ears;» The re
pairs progress rapidly here. • The bridgo is
repaired, and the culverts between here and
Joocsbarg, and tho track at that plfice will be
laid to-morrow if the men are not interrupted.
The repairs of tho tclcgraph' line kjcp pace
with tho road.

Highly Important Intelligence from
the South..
New Yobk, Dec. 54. —The Harold says
that considerable excitement was created in *
thjc city, yesterday, by thoarrival of Lieut..
Samuel D. Hurd, of the 2nd Maine cavalry,.
with very interesting intelligence from Char
leston, Richmond, and other portions of the
South. Lient. Hurt* was in Charleston du'-
ring the recent terrible conflagration; which
destroyed, that hot-bed of secession, and de
scribes the excitomont and consternation, on
that occasion, as of the most intense charac
ter. Accordingto hi* statement, there wore
400 prisoners confined in tho common jail of
Charleston at the time of the firo, t Colonel
Corcoran and hitnself were 'among She pris
oners thus Incarcerated,' and.* bur informant
.adds that.the gallant Commander of tfle 09th
regiment had been prostrated^for some clays
by a foarful attack of typholJfever. Late on
the night of tho fire, the flames reached the
jail; situated on Broad street, -and the front
of the building was ilmost immediately in a
blaze. OobCorcdrah whs the firfet to venture,
and 1 mounting tho window* of the'jail ex
claimed t u Boys, here goes for Beaufort -pr
the North," at the same time leaping from
the window down upon the s tone'pavement.
This was the'last that.was hoard .or seen of
Col. Corcoran up to tho time of the 'departure;
of Lient. Hurd. The other prisoners follow
ed the example of .'Corcoran, into
the streets, where some orawled about for' a
Yew days, while others fled towards - Beaufort.
Many of .tbftm were recaptured and confined
in Castle Pinckney. . - i
Lieut. Hurd wandered about the city part
of the next day, but was finally retaken, with
eleven others*, who, as before stated, were
in Castle Pinckney. From this
place he, with his companions, was sent to
Norfolfc'Yrom which place he was taken to.
Fortress Monroe under a flag of trueo, and
surrendered to the United States authorities.
He is a'young map, about 24 years of ago,
vory thin and.sparc, and has evidently suffer
ed very severe hardships. At Bull Run, he
was shot in three places—in the hip,kneo and
shoulder—rendering amputation of the leg,
near tho hip, necessary.
Twenty minutes after they escaped from the
prison the building was a heap of rains.. ■
Lieut. Hurd thinks it probsole that Colonol
Corcoran, if not overcome with exhaustion,
succeeded in making good bis escape to Be&ar
fort. There appears to bo little hope of this
opinion_proving true, in view of the fact that
Col. Co&oran was in a most onfccbled condi
tion previous to his escape, and it is impro
bable that a man suffering with typhoid fever
as he is said to have hreh, could keep up his
strength for so long'a period as would bo ne
cessary to journey the distance r of some fifty
miles between Charleston and Beaufort.
From New Mexico.
Kansas City, Dec. 24.—The Santa Fc mail

Tbo territorial legislature-.wasconvenod'on
the 2d, and on the Ith GovvConnfclljr, read bis
anneal message Ur a joint session of both
homes. The Governor recommends that all
the Indian tribes be placed on reservations,
under very strict regulations, as tho only way
to prevent tho constant recarrouoe of troubles
with them, lie advises a thoronghrevision of
all territorial laws, and says that many of the
provisions of the law for tho. protection of
slave property in Kow Mexico are nnnoeexsa
rily sevoro and rigorous, and recommends
that they bo modified or repealed.' 1
In relation to national* strife he says :
I nm proud to say that my loyal political fel
low citizens of New Mexico have manfully
responded to their country’s call, and contrib
uted more than a fair proportion of armed
men for her dofensc. This evidence of devo
tion to tho Union cause is flattering, from tho -
fact that when the strife began, and for some
time after it had been in progress, it Was pre
sumed, by the principal movers of the scheme
that our territory would join them in their
attempt to pall down'the pillar of free gov- -1
ernment, and rejoice with them in the midst
of tho wreck And desolation produced by their
evil machinations. This patriotic outpour
ing of men has removed all cause of suspicion
which may: have boon excited in the minds
of our ftotintrymen fn z the loyal States,
and-brought Us-to the position- we occupy.
A‘tnoropositive demonstration of fidelity to,
our instltutibhs Cannot be given than .that
which New Mexico has in .the; mnnnor.de

position she will oecnpy to the end. ‘
