Barkor 1 was, of course, instantly killed. - MoDonaid is aulrishman* and resides in a oonrt, west of the ( /Diamond.

After-lying for months in the mad of Man fordtville, after a longoverland trip to Nuh viUe, and a subsequent tedious, bat not Idle, occupation of Columbia and—Middle Tennei• see, the Pennsylvania Brigade of General Negley found an opportunity to make a little exclusive history by an expedition to Chatta nooga. But the history of that affair hat not been correctly given. On .the contrary, the oßolel reports which emWltfiotuiy found their way into print, and the rougher reports of amateur correspondents, have given a false light to the whole affair, and I understand that unjust reflections have been made by Pennsylvania papers npori the commanding offioer and his brigade. , Bam satisfied from an examination of certain documents, for the perusal of whloh I aol Indebted to a now famous Major-General, that credit has not been given where It beloiged„and that the chief fault of Gen. Negley laid in the fact that he allowed his subordinate |offloers—^ the Colo nel of tho 79th, and the Adjutant of the Blh | Brlgadel—to present to the public untrue statementa.of foots. In jtbtlce to all parties let me make, brief statement of the matter giving the socret history of the whole expedi tion.: ' J' (tax. xxoiet mss tbx xxvinrriox. Gen. Negley is brigade was detached from Gen. McCook’s division if the army ef the Ohio, at the request of Gen. 1 Negley, who had quarreled with MoCook, Because McCook re quired him to furnish a min nanfnd Garrison, negro dealer in Bowling Green, witha squad of mon to search for negroes in his (Negley i) camp. When the main anny moved, forward, Gent Negley was detailed to guard and keep open the rear. Mitohel defleoted towards Huntsville. Negley’s command was increas ed, and he was required to keep open Mitoh el’a rear also. Things remained qaUjt nnlil about tho 20th of May. I then Sad that Gbn. Negley advises Gen. Mltohel, with whom he | had *en ordered to act in oonoert, that a large force of rebel cavalry is being concentra ted at or near McMinnville, Tenn., and urges upon him (Mitchol)to allow him to strengthen COl. Lester, at MoMinnville; about the same time, ho says that Starn’s rebel cavalry is re ported moving towards MeMinnvlUo. On tho 35th of May, Mitohel, again urged, gives Gen. Negley the requested order, and Murfreesboro is Btrongtheaed by forces placed at Sbelby viUo/Wartrace, and other points. General Mitohel, about the same time, gets important information on the same subject, and runs to Nashville, - where,on the 26th of May,ho tel egraphs to Negley to meet him* A» IHTBEVIEW WltHiQlli. MITCHEL. On tbo 27th of May Begley was at Nash ville, and had an Interview with Mltohel and taster. Mitohel asks of Negley an eUbora. tlon of the views which he had telegraphed him. Gen. N. states to him briefly his Infor mation. Therebel force threatening Murfrees boro comes from Chattanooga, taking advan tage of tho Sequatchey; Valley. The true wav to attaok hia>, is to do so by tiie same Valley, thus endangering, his rear. At the same time he attacks Starn's force in front, drives It into or across the river, or captures it. At the same time, by thus threatening Chattanooga, It compels the rebels to with draw from McMinnville, or from some other point, to reinforce Chattanooga. While his planis offensive egainst Starn, it is strate gical also, and, besides, made by the route named, the railroad brought supplies near at band. To make Murfreesboro thabase would require, bn expedition of greater magnitude than both Generals could raise. A calculation was-made: 5,000 men could be spared for the expedition; Gen. Mitohel decided that U should be made, and placed Gen. Negley in command of it. “When |can yon put your troops ■in motion,’* asked Mitchel. To night," mid Negley. ’’Then I will go to bed,’’ Mid MUebol, and ,the interview ended, Le.terdUiatUffed with fhe plan. THE MARCH UPOK CHATTAHOOOA. At 4 o'clock on the next morning the troops of Gen. Negley were In motion at Columbia, on the way to Pulaski. ‘ By. a*special train tho General reaohed Columbia the same .day;. Prom there he telegraphed to Gov. Johnson, and Gen. Morgan, in front of Cumheriand Gap, the purpose of the expedition. Hesaid to Morgan that fie should be: in front of Chattanooga on the Sthiof June, and that it was feis holier that tbej movement would re sult in tho evacuation of Cumberland Gap— that the rebels laid more stress on tho posi tion at McMinnviUe and the results it prem ised, than they did on the Gap. He pushed forward, takes the command at the head or the column, and enter*! Pulaski on the 29tb. On the Slat he i» Fayetteville, where he re ceived more intimations of ( danger at Mur freesboro, and is required by Mltohel to look to that place and • reinforce it. Examining these document* oloselyr.r am inclined to think that Mitohel wa* fearful of the result, and trying to shirt thV. responsibihty. He •ays in thl* dispatch that he is at a loss to un derstand Beauregard’s j movements, the evac uation of Corinth taking place at this time. Neeley’s reply Is to the effect that if the ex pedltion.i* pushed forward and the road cut at* Chattanooga, the eTJumaUonofConnth will be in vain, and that It.is his belief, that Beauregard is passing cits Chattanooga east. On June Sd, the march having been resumed, JS«giey enters Winchester, dispersing a small force and captnring several prisoners. On the 4th of Jane, GenJ Morgan thanks Gen. Negley for his advice; and wants to know what forco'is moving against Chattanooga. And on the same day enter* Bweed en’s Cove, attacks, disperses ana pursues Staru. I-need not recount the incidents of that hand to hand encounter of ,the cavalry which resulted in so signal a defeat of the rebels; On the sth Inst., he is at Jasper— beyond his new base of supplies, and bo be gins to look about him at, his flanks; .He puts Coi.

Hambright and Tarohln had a newspaper quarrel for it. Neither deserved It, | Mitchel telegraphed to the War Departmentthesubitanoeef Negley s dispatches and while Negley remMnod sUonU Such a silence was injustice to him self—to the men he brought with Jtafeom th# Keystone State, and to tho friends he left thorewbotakenpri&ein him asaman.and officer. Gen-Mitchel got the credit because I he claimed It, anil do not know hut what he 'deserved It for tho vary reason that ho claimed it; Vbu will hot deny that those wlw read his dispatches thought so- ».too ; delicate in such mattoTf—too delicate by half.

THE LATEST NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. FROM WASHINGTON. OUR SPECIAL DISPATCHES. [Special Dispatch to the Pittsburgh Gazette.} Wishikgtos, August 3, 1862, GBSBOITB POETiIE OHIO BITER. Got. Dennison, Mr. Gurley, and th« rest of the Ohio Committee, had a long interview with Capt. Fox, Aaaiatant Secretary of the Navy, on Saturday. They repfcaented tho exposed condition of Ohio and Indiana, along tho Kentucky border, and that no military force, however large and woll managed, could adequately protect tho whole border from such incoraion of gnerrlllaß ae the recent ono into Indiana, which tend to keep op conltant alarm, and to feed the hopei and encourage the audaoity of Beceaaioniata throughout Ken tacky. They found the Navy Department very cor dial in co-operating in their view*. It wa* agreed on all hand* that the Government could not afford to permit tho rebel, to gain tho immenae moral effect in encouraging their people, and stimulating them to renewed effort., which theao guerrUla invaaiona were certain to give them. Ihoyimuat on no ao oount be permitted to believe they can invade northenaaoil with impunity. It waa believed that no way waa ao effectual for guarding the border aa an efficient gunboat force on the Ohio river.' After full conference, therefore, the Navy Department promised the Committee :aa many gunbcats for service ex clusively in the Ohio river as they wanted. Ten small hoata, drawing only two feet, have already booh aoleetedandlnspected by agents of thqNavy Department. The Secretary promised that a heavy Tore© should at once be set to work to cat these boats dowb, put on thick wooden bulwarks, and plate with iron after the most approved models. Each boat is calculated to carry two guns, and be able to patrol the Ohio'river any where from its month to Pittsburgh. These boats will ibe harried, through, mounted, and pat In commission immediately. It is believed that when they are plaeed on the river will danger of gaorritla Invasions will be at an lend. Two wooden gunboats were able to preserve order along the whole Ten nestee river while that country was' in the hands of ibe enemy, and It is believed, there fore, that ten iron clods will form ample police force for tibe Ohio. A*JaiBTAKT BXGBXTABT Of WAB WALCOTT QOKB TO OHIO. AeaiflUQt Secretary of. War, Mr. Walcott, left here at 7 o'clock on Saturday night, on a special triin, to attend a funeral of a member of hie fanjilj in Ohio. He woe accompanied by Got. Dennison. ‘ • THE COHDITIOS Of KMTOCBT. A letter has been received here from Garret Davis, fully confirming the’views of the present condition of Kentnoky, recently or god by the Ohio Committee, and urging tho neces sity of a epeedy relief to the U nion men of Kentnoky. The express belief is that Morgan's raid bae etrengthened the seces sionists and diepirited the loyalists, and eay great ’ appreheneions exist that tbo experiment will be repoatod on a larger sealo, withavlew of getting over tho border if possible, the ttret favorable opportunity. The recent movement* for a call of an extra session of tho Kentucky. Legislature orginkted with Union men, who believed that the crisis demands a lodgement of such powers aa is usually entrusted to tho Governor in Borne' loyal hands. They also desired to take steps for having Kentucky raise her quota of troops under tho now call, and for having them em ployed mainly within tho Slate . itself. The General to have oommand of tho forces Qen. Haiiaek has promised for immediate.use in Kentnoky and along tbo border ' has not yet linen selected. Tho trouble seems to bo, that a general good enough to be placed at the head of such a department is foo good to be spared now from service in thofiold. (Jen. Rousseau has been moro talked of than any] other, but no proapoot of getting him settled. That Ohio, Indiana, and Kontuoky are again to be constituted either separato military departments or separate districts in Budil'a department with tho General having alniost independent powors, subject of conrso to Bailee k.: Tho Ohio Committee, return great ly delighted with Halleok.
