CORRESPONDENCE OF TEE "JOURNAL.
Acquia Creek, Va., Aug. 18, 18C2.
Dear Row: After a suspense of 4 or 5
days, (under inarching orders) we were at
last, on Thursday the 14th relieved, by orders
to move to the Landing between Harrisons
and Westover's, and get our Battery on board
as quickly as possible. Accordingly, with
these instructions, wc pulled up stakes"
about 6 p. m., and by sundown we were on
the road to the river, which we readied in
about ten minutes march. VVe supposed that
we would go directly on board ttie transports,
but in this we were sjdly mistaken. This
time we were not up "to time," so that
two other Batteries were ahead of us. How
ever, we managed abuut 11 o'clock to get our
guns and Caissons on board the "City of Nor
wich," which was a very large, capacious
freight boat, and well adapted to the purpose,
as we had no farther trouble than to run our
pieces on wholesale, or without taking them
apart as on a former occasion. This was done
in a very short time-, and the cauoniers get
ting on board soon after, the boat dropped
down to another landing to complete her la
ding, by the addition of the 6th I'enu'a Re
serve Volunteers. Alter wailing till our pa
tience was well nigh exhausted (and having
no place to tie our horses so that we could
snatch a little repose) we learned that we
would not go ou that boat, and were obliged
to wait till sunrise before a boat made fast to
the dock to receive our liores ; and by the
L litoo v.o had them on the boat it was 9 o'clock.
After this we dropped down and took the bal
ance of our load, the 5th Regiment on board.
At 11 o'clock the "South America"' for
such was the Uillllu of the Boat started on her
trip down the James. We now, ior the hist
time, had an intimation of our destination ;
which we learned from tiie Mate of the boat
and Pilot; was Acquia Creek. We had a
pleasant trip down the James river, enlivened
by the splendid scenery along either shore.
At 7 in the evening we cast Anchor off New
port News, for the night. Early on Saturday
mortting we got under way and in a short time
we ran by the wreck of the "Cumberland,"
and a little further on we saw the "Congress
It is a sad contemplation, to review the cir
cumstance by which these noble ships, and
their during crews, were sacrificed for vindi
cating the cause of truth, justice, and human
ity. About 7 o'clock we touched at Fortress
Mour 'e, and as the boat was sl.ort of provis
ion, the piht concluded before running out
iDto-l-Iri f'rn n up- to Norfolk" f 6Iay i n a
supply. Here we found the Steam Frigate
Minesota with her ugly looking gun ever
bearing on the deceitful town as a monitor to
all that tho Authority of ihe Flag of the Un
ion, which now floats in triumph from the
domes ol the principal buildings, must be res
pected. -
The object of our visit being soon accom
plished we were re:i'J- o proceed on our wiy.
But,o ooat we were on was very heavily
loaded ; (having on about seven hundred men
and one hundred and thirty head of hoist.s)
and being withal a very old one, and as the
wind was very high, the Pilot did not deem
it safe to venture on the B.iy. We however,
dropped down and laid over, off Sewalls Point
till evening, ami tho wind abating somewhat,
we weighed anchor and stood out on our trip.
Instead o.' the wind falling as supposed, it
continued to rise, and by the time the boat
reached the Bay the waves were running very
high, and the Pilot being somewhat timid ian
across to the eastern shore, in order to get
calmer wati-r. This was well enough while it
lasted, as we were running directly against
the wind, it blowing strong from the North
east Running to this point would not answer our
purpose all the time, and in order to get into
the mouth of the Potomac it was necessary
that the Boat should be held to a dilleieut
point. About this time the nheel came into
more experienced hands than a Government
Pilot, (who seems to be a necessary appen
dage to all government transports) the Mate
of the boat; who succeeded, at a great risk,
in altering our course, which brought the
wind on our quarter. There was great dan
ger ol being swamped, as each succeeding
wave would make the old boat tremblo like
an aspen, and at times the waves would fly
completely over her bow much to the dis
comfort of some of the "boys" who were try
ing to take to themselves a nap. At one time
the water came well nigh extinguishing the
fire under one of the boilers, but this did not.
materially retard our progress. We kept
steadily on and daylight found us in sight of
Point Lookout at the mouth of the Potomac.
We were yet two miles out of our course, but
to judicious management we got on the right
track again, and proceeded on our way up the
river.
Point Lookout is being rapidly fitted up for
Hospital purposes, aiid already there are a
goodly number of large Hospital tents erect
ed there lor that purpose, and boats aie daily
being relieved here of their invalid passen
gers. No better place could be selected as it
always has the advantage of fresh breezes
from the Chesapeake and Potomac. It also
.has the advantage of fine groves of pines,
whose gratef ufshade is always a pleasant re
lief from the scorching rays ot an August sun.
No more pleasant scenery could be found a
long any river, than that which abounds on
the shores of the Potomac, and scattered along
in such profuse variety.
We reached our destina'ion about three o'
clock, p. iu., of the 17th, and in less than one
hour we were safely landed with all our effects
once more on terra firm a. Here we found our
guns in readiness for us, when we attached
our horses and went out about a quarter of a
mile to camp and waited Jor the rest of the
detachment.
While there were no accidents occurring to
any one on board of the "South America,"
the "City of Norwich" was not so foitunate,
One man belonging to our Battery, who was
lately detailed and transferred from tbe 6th,
and also one man belonging to the 6th, took it
into their heads to sleep on the top of the
wheel house, while they were anchored at the
month of James river the night of the 15th.
The boat starting in tho morning before they
u-rn awake, the motion threw tnem ou iuw
the water and both were drowned. The name
of the one belonging to our Battery, was Mc
Donald, but from where I do not know: Tbe
jnauie of the other J did not learn. Tbe cause
ot their rashness in selecting such a place as
this for sleeping, is attributed by some to the
influence of bad whiskey.
As to our destination, I am not prepared to
speak with certainty ; but like the rest of those
who are out of t he ring, I can only be govern
ed at the present time by opinions derived
from promiscuous quarters. It is however,
the general supposition that we will be sent,
first to Burnside at Fredericksburg, and from
thence to Pope, to once more join in the ad
vance upon Richmond. If such should turn
out to be the c se, you will perhaps hear more
of the Reserves, which may dd something
to their wide spread leputation lor fighting
pluck ; and if the opportunity presents itself,
they will yet perform deeds of heroism, that
will make them an imperishable lustre upon
the records ol the gallant State that sent them
forth to do battle for the Nations glory.
A move on Richmond from the direction
already indicated by Pope, will be much more
disastrous to the cause of secession, than by
operations on the Peninsula inasmuch as the
occupation of the Shenandoah Valley will be
forever lott to 1 he rebels, and will also de
prive them ot their most fiuitful source of
subsistance. With this important appendage
to military operations cut off, the secesh lea
ders will perhaps have a lively time in keep
ing even their conscripts in the harness, as a
man can endure almost anything else, while
living, better than hunger.
Generals XlcCall and Reynolds have been
released, and app aring before the first Bri
gade of the Reserve corps, were received with
the most fi antic demonstrations of delight.
The Gen. thanked the men for the manner in
which they respected him, and paid a glowing
tribute to their bravery and endurance. I ob
serve that Gen. Meade has recovered from his
wounds and is about again. 1 am informed
that Gens. Reynolds and Meade will assume
their respective commands immediately ; and
Gen. McCall will also take command of the
Division in a very short time. This will in
fuse a new life into the whole Division ; for
the men, as a general thing, do not like Sey
mour. No one d jubts his ability or his bra
very, but there is avery prevalent opinion
that he is too selfish, and too ambitious for
place. This, with loyal Pennsy Ivanians and
volunteers, does not go down very well, and
hence he lails to cummani the confidence
and respect of the men which is always the
surest prestige of success, both to the man
and to the cause.
I see by the Journal of the 6th, that I am
called to account, for doing injustice to those
to whom credit is due. I disclaim all such
intentions, and if I have inadvertantly made
some "mistatements." I recall them with
-pleasure; Out 1 do not hold myself altogether
responsible for them. Not being present, I
availed myself of the information of a tnird
person, and on the strength of that informa
tion, made the statement. I would not give
a fig fr a regiment of "friends," who while
I was in a helpless COiulilinn, oiiM frM!
iotf in rue tiour of danger, so that I should be
obliged to apply to other parties to have me
taken to a place of safety. I do not intend
any reflections, but n.erely say this much, to
clear myself of any imputations; as I draw the
inference th;.t the subject is taken up with
some degree ol warmth.
The weather is yet very warm here, but we
have much better water, and a purer atmns
phere than on the Peninsula, where every
thing is surrounded by swamps and Mosqui
toes. Yours truly, w. R. B.
Particulars of the Indian 3f aseaere.
Sr. Pall, August 22d. Parties from Min
nesota river reached here last night, state that
scouts estimate tLe number of whites already
killed by the Sioux at five huudred. The
opinion is based on the number of bodies dis
cover I alonj; the road and trails. It is believed
that all the missionaries were killed. The
civilized Indians exceeded their savage breth
ren in atrocities.
Mr Frenier,u interpreter, who has spent the
most of his life among the Indians, volun
teered to go alone, trusting to bis knowledege
of the Indians, and disguised, escaped detec
tion. He dressed and painted himself in sav
age style, and arrived at the Upper Agency in
the night. The place was literally demolished,
and death visited all the houses. He saw the
former occupants lying dead, some on their
door steps, some inside, and others scattered
in the yards, llf went to the house of Hon.
J. R. Brown and recogniz -d every member of
the family, eighteen in all murdered. He
visited Beaver CreeK an 1 found fifty families
killed. He went to every house and recogni
sed tbe bodies of nearly all th-j former inhabi
tants. Among those recognized at the Agen
cy were N.Givens and family; Mr. Galbraith
and children ; Dr. Wakefield and family ; John
Loddens and family ; John and Edward May
ner, and two Missourians Rev. Dr. William
son and Rev. Mr. Riggs.
Ex-Governor Sibley is now marching to the
relet of Fort Rikgeley. The scout reports that
bands are united in carrying out a concerted
and desperate scheme, and says he will enly
he too happy to Bud the powerful bands of the
Yanktons and other powerful bands not uni
ted with thdni.
Mr. Krenier, the disguised Indian interpter,
writes to Gov. Ramsay liom Henderson, on
the 21st, that he left Fort Ridgeley at 5 o,
clock a. m. ; that there were then two thous
and Indians around Fort Ridgeley, and the
wooden buildings were still burning. He
thinks that other tribes have joined the Sioux,
and they now present a formidable army.
A reliable letter dated Glencoe, 21st inst.,
says : The injury done by the stampede of the
settlers is immense ; another such scene of woe
can hardly be found in the South as in McLeod,
Xleeker, and the northern part of Sibley and
other counties. In St. Paul, and adjoining
counties, all available horses are being gath
ered up, and all sorts of weapons will be used
by willing hands for immediate and summary
punishment of these audacious Indians.
It seems to be the general opinion among the
best informed of our citizens that the present
Indian troubles originated with the secession
ists of Missouri. Major Galbraith, one of the
Indian agents says there are now under arms
10,000 Sioux, besides other tribes from the
Northern XI issouri.

THE KECENT BATTLE AT BATON ROUGE.
Offiicial Report of Com. Farragut
Washington, Aug. 19. The Navy Depart
ment is in receipt of voluminous dispatches
from Admiral Farragut, among which are the
following :
Flag Ship Hartford,
Baton Rocge,. Aug. 7,1862. j
Sir : It is one of the happiest moments of
my life that I am enabled to inform the De
partment of the destruction of the ram Ar
kansas, not because I held the iron-clad in
such terror, but because the community did.
On the 4th inst., I sent the Tennesse to Ba
ton Rouge with provisions for Commander
Poiter and the gunboats stationed at that
place. On the night of tbe oth she returned
with information that the enemy had made a
combined attack on Baton Rouge, by the ram
and two gunboats, the Webb and Music, and
calling for assistance.
At daylight, the Hartford was under weigh
for this place, with orders for the other ves
sels to follow me as fast as they got ready.
arrived here to-day at 12 m. in company
with the Brooklyn, Westfield, Clinton, Jack
son and Scioto. I had sent the Cayuga up
before me, agieeable to a request of General
Butler, in consequence of the guerrillas firing
into some of his transports.
Ou my arrival, I was informed by comman
der W. D. Poiter that yesterday morning at
twoto'clock the enemy's forces, under General
Breckinridge, attacked General Williams,
drove in his pickets, etc. General Williams,
having had ample warning, all was prepared
for him. The fight was continued with great
energy on both sides until ten o'clock p. m.,
by which time the enemy had been driven
back two or three miles. But unfortunately
the gallant General Williams, while, cheering
on his men, received a Minie ball through the
heart.
Gen. Williams had infoimed Lieutenant
Commanding Ransom the evening before of
the plans, and requested him not to fire a gun
until he notified him, and when he did so, our
gunboats Kinro and Katuhdin opened with fine
effect, throwing their shells directly in the
midst of the enemy, and producing great dis
may and confusion among them. Lieutenant
Ransom had an officer on the State House,
which overlooked th adjaceut country, and
could direct the fire of every shell
As soon as the enemy wora ropulsed, Com
mander Porter went up the stream after the
ram Arkansas, which was lying about five
miles above, apparently afraid to take her
share in the conflict, according to the precon
certed plan. As he came within gun shot, he
opened on her, and probably soon disabled
some of her machinery or steering apparatus,
for she became unmanageable, continuing,
however, to fire her guns at the Essex.
Commander Porter says he took advantage
of her presenting a weak point towards him,
and loaded a gun with incendiary shells. Af
ter his first discharge of this projectile, a gush
of fire came out of her side, and from that
moment it was discovered that she was on
fire, which he oontinned by his exertions to
prevent from being extinguished. Thej
backed her ashore, and made a line fast, w hich
was burnt, and she swung off Into the river,
where she continued to burn until she blew
up, with a tremendous explosion. Thus en
ded the rareer of the last iron clad ram of the
Mississippi.
There were many persons on the banks of
the river witnessing the fight, in which they
anticipated a triumph for secession, but on
the return of. the Essex not a soul was to be
seen. I will leave a sufficient force of gun
boats here to support the army, and will re
turn to-morrow to New Orleans, and depart
immediately for Ship Island with a light heart,
that I have left no bugbear to torment the
communities of the Mississippi in my absence.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
D. G. Farragut, Flag officer Commanding
the W. G. Blockading Squadron.
To Hon. Gideon wells, Secretary of the
Navy, Washington, D. C.
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OF THE FIGHT.
A letter from Baton Rouge says, that Nim's
battery thrice repulsed the foe and did great
slaughter among them. Breckinridge is said
to have lost his right arm by a cannon ball.
The battle took place on the edge of the towu.
General Williams being unwilling to expose
the helpless women and childreu. We cap
tured a large number of prisoners, including
Capt. Blunt, Breckinridge's aid. Gen. Will
iams, who was killed, behaved like a hero,
and Capt. Nim's men are entitled to imper
ishable glory. Tbe loss of tbe enemy must
have been severe, as our men charged and re
charged upon them. We have taken three
guns. Another account says, the strength of
tbe rebel troops is variously estimated at from
5,000 to 15,000, under Generals Lovell and
Breckinridge. Tbe combat was obstinate.
Our loss is 250 killed and wounded, including
a large proportion of officers. The rebel loss,
according to the statement of the prisoners
taken was immense.
Tbe transport steamer Lewis Whitman ran
into the gunboat Oneida, fifty miles above
New Orleans, on the night of the 6th, and the
transport sunk. She had op board tbe body
of Gen. Williams, with an escort of six of his
body guard ; also, forty-two of our own and
thjee rebel wounded. Tbe body of General
Williams was recovered, and thirty-eight
wounded soldiers and three of the bodyguard
were saved.
The official report of Col. Cahill, command
ing tbe post after the death of Gen. Williams,
states that the rebel force was about ten regi
ments, and that after a fight ot great severity,
the enemy were repulsed. General Williams
was 1 .lied by a rifle ball through the chest.
During the battle our forces were at one time
obliged to retire about a quarter of a mile
from their original position, and the enemy
was thus able temporarily to occupy the camps
of the Twenty-first Indiana, the Seventh Ver
mont and Fourteenth Maine regimeuts, and to
destroy much of the baggage and camp equip
age. They were, however, driven out, but
our number being much lessened by sickness,
and the men in the field being much exhaust
ed by fatigue aud heat, it was deemed expe
dient not to pursue the enemy, who hael re
tired several miles, and is still retiring. I am
expecting that it is possible they maj- receive
reinforcements, and am disposing of my troops
in the strongest positions.
Our iorce engaged numbered less than 2,
500. The enemy had at least 5,000 men,
with twelve or fourteen field pieces, and some
cavalry. Brig. Gen. Clark and his aid,
Lieut. Zerger, delivered themselves up to us
as prisoners of war. I have also seventy
wounded prisoners and about thirty captured.
Breckinridge, on the 6th, asked permission
in writing to .bury his dead. Col Cahill re
plied that our men were engaged in the work,
which would ' soon be accomplished. Pass
engeis lrom Baton Rouge, state that our loss
was 70 killed and 215 wounded. Gen. Will
iams had three horses shot under him and
was finally killed whilst rallying the 27th In
diana regiment, who had just lost a field piece.
The gun was retaken, and Gen. Williams fell
pierced by a bullet.
Kansas Citt, Aug. 20. A fight occurred
on Friday, in Jackson county, about twenty
miles south-west ol Lexington, between parts
of Colonels Philips and . Crittenden's regi.
ments of State troops, 800 strong, and about
3.000 rebels, under Quintril and other guerilla
chiefs, resulting in the defeat of the Stale for
ces. The' federal loss in the engagement is
understood to have been one huudred and fif
ty, killed, wounded and missing. The bal
ance of the force escaped to Lexington. The
section of artillery lost in the fight was taken
and retaken four times, and was finally spiked
and abandoned by the Federals.
In the light at Independence on the 11th,
General Hughes who commanded a rebel reg
iment at Carthage and a brigade at Wilson's
creek, was killed, and the notorious and bru
tal Colonel Boyd-aud Colonel Thompson were
wounded the former fatally.
Locisville, August 15. The Reported de
feat and cap' u re of Federal troops is utterly
false. A dispatch from Gen. Morgan, dated
at Cumberland Gap, says De Courcey's bri
gade and the 14ih Kentucky regiment, on the
5th and 6th inst., had several engagements
with Stevenson's division, in force, the reb
els outnumbering us four to one. The rebels
lost 225 killed and wounded, and Lieut. Col.
Gordon Elevent, of Tennessee, was taken
prisoner. Our loss was 3 killed, 15 wounded,
and 50 prisoners. Two companies of the loth
Ohio regiment were surrounded by two rebel
regiments, but they succeeded in cutting their
way out. We captured a lot of forage, tobac
co, and mutes.
Washington, Thursday, Aug 14, 1762.
To Major General Pope : Your telegram of
last evening is most satisfactory, and I con
gratulate you and your army, and particularly
Gen. Banks and his corps, on your hard-earned
but brillUut success against vastly supe
rior numbers. Your troops have covered
themselves with glory ; and Cedar Xlountain
will be known in history as one of the great
battle-fields of the wars.
H. W. Halleck, General-in Chief.
New Madrid, Mo., Aug. 20. A force of
cavalry from the post under Capt. Frank
Xloore, while on an expedition to Charleston,
attacked a rebel camp on White Oak ridge,
west of Haohman, and killed four of the ene
my and took nineteen prisoners, including
three Captains, and also captured twenty-seven
horses and about one hundred stand of
arms. Capt. Moore and one private were
wounded, but none were killed.
Baltimore, Aug. 19. A dispatch from Gen.
Kelly, at Cumberland, Md., says that our
pickets were fired on at the bridge on the
Romney road, yesterday afternoon, and one
man was mortally wounded. A force was
sent in pursuit, and overtook a party of bush
wackers and attacked them, killing the noto
rious guerilla, Bob Edwards. The rest es
caped to the mountains.
New York, Aug. 17 Key West letters re

AVER'S S AIIS A PAR I LL A. Is a con
centrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so
combined with other substances' of till greater
alternative jiower as to afford an effective antidote
fordis ases Sarsuparilla is reputed to cure. Sueh
a remedy is surely wa.ted by those who' suffer
from Strumous complaints, and that one which
will accomplish their cure mustprove of immense
gerviee to this large class of our afflicted fellow
citizens. . How completely this compound will do
it has been proven by experiment on many of the
worst cases to be found in tho following oom,-'
plaints : . ' ' !
Scrofula and Se-rofula com plaints, Eruptions and
Eruptive diseases, Ulcers, Pimples, Blotches, Tu
mors. Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Syphilis, an1 Sy
philitic affections, Mercurial diseases. Dropsy,
JS'euralgia or l ie Poloreux, Debility, Dyspepsia
and Indigestion, Erysipelas. Rose or St. Anthony's,
Eire, and indeed the whole class of complaints
arising from impurity of the blood.
This compound will be founc u great promoter
of health, when taken in the sor.ng, to expel the
rbul humors which fester in the blood at that sea.
Hon of the year. By tbe timely expulsion of them
many rankling disorders are nipped in the bud.
Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare
themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions
t.nd ulcerous gores, through which the system
will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if nut assist,
t d to do this through the natural channels of the
toJy by an alternative medicine. Cleanse oat the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin i pimples, eruptions,
or sores; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed
aodsluggiah in the veins ; dense it whenever it
is foul, and your feelings will tell you when.
Even where no particular disorder is felt, people
enjoy better hoalth.and live longer. for clernaing
tie blood. " Keep the blood healthy, and all is
well ; but with tho pubulum of life disordered
there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later
something must go wrong, and the great machin
ery of life is disordered or overthrown. '
Daring late years, the public have b6n misled
by largo bottles, pretending to give a quart of
Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar.. Most of
these have been frauds upon the sick, for they
net only contain little, if any sarsaparilla, but
painful disappointment has followed tbe use of
ths varioua extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood
th market, until the name itself is justly despised
and has become synonomius with imposition nd
chiat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla
anl intend to supply such a remedy as shall res
cue the name from the load of obliquy which
rests upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible by
tbe ordinary run of tbe diseases it is intended to
cure. " " '
