Moore was intrenched, and lost only six Moore was intrenched, and lost only six killed and twenty-three wounded. Among the latter was a feminine soldier, a sprightly girl from Canada, only sixteen years of age, who served eighteen months in our service. She had been in seven different regiments, and participated in several battles. At Fredericksburg she was severely wounded. On account of the discovery o

There being no prospect of effecting further captures, we hailed a boat at Tiptonville, and returned to the post. One prisoner, Owen Edwards, who was lieutenant to Merriweather's company of bushwhackers, is reported to have been in command of a party which fired into a Government boat below Tiptonville, about three months ago. Another one, Lewis Claims, belongs to Faulkner's command. Gregg says he was a private in Merriweather's gang, but deserted him when Merriweather went South. George Moore, also member of the same party, formerly of the army of Clayton, we have no particular information of, but he was found with the rest at Lewis's house. Lewis is a paroled prisoner, and was formerly a captain in the Fifteenth Tennessee volunteers, of the rebel army, and states that during the last six months the guerrillas have eaten over two hundred dollars' worth of provisions at his house. He has a pass from General Quimby, formerly commanding this district. Of the captured horses
nd did not stop a moment in their third line. I moved my brigade rapidly forward and pursued them across the Chattanooga road, reaching the road a little before dark. At this time the firing had stopped everywhere, and the army of Rosecrans was in rapid and disorderly retreat towards Chattanooga. In this engagement my loss, though not as heavy as in the morning, was heavy-losing nearly two hundred men. It was here that Captain Beard, of the Third and Fifth Confederate regiment, and Captain George Moore, of same regiment, both gallant officers, met their death. Here also Captain N. C. Hockersmith and Lieutenant A. J. Petner, of the First Arkansas regiment, were seriously wounded. Many other true and brave men also fell here. During the entire fight the men and officers of my brigade acted well. Among the officers who were most distinguished at the battle of Chickamauga, I must mention the name of Colonel B. J. Hill, Thirty-fifth Tennesse regiment. Upon every field in the Wes

arter's letter that it was not a sudden impulse that prompted Jackson to do what he did, but in furtherance of a deliberately-formed purpose. Says. Dr. Carter: Editors Delta: I was pleased to notice in your issue of Monday afternoon that Mr. Geo. Moore, of the City Hotel, had taken steps to raise a fund, to be sent to Virginia for the relief of the widow and orphans of Mr. James W. Jackson, who lost his life in defence of his country's flag, after slaying Col. Ellsworth. I knew Mr. Jac, fearless man, and deserves a monument. His widow and four children are in necessitous circumstances, and the fund proposed will not only be timely, but worthily bestowed. I hope the citizens of New Orleans will come forward with their accustomed liberality. It may be well to add that Mr. Moore, who was originally from the neighborhood of Alexandria and knew Mr. Jackson and his friends, is in all respects the person to undertake this matter. Very respectfully, Geo. W. Carter, D. D.
ly and absolutely false; and to warrant and make good this unqualified denial, I avouch the evidence of His Lordship, Her Majesty's Minister to Washington, and George Moore, Esq., Her Consul at Richmond, the veracity of whom the "Thunderer" itself will scarcely have the hardihood to impeach so near Windsor Castle. I give you below a copy of a note I had the honor to address to His Lordship and a copy of his reply, also a copy of a note from Mr. Moore: "Richmond. Va., Dec. 28, 1860. My Lord: I beg your Lordship's attention for a few moments to the subject of this note. You are doubtless aware of the notice taken by the reporter of the ajesty, the Queen of England, long before any mention was made of the Prince's intended visit to the United States. I am, my dear sir, yours, very sincerely, Geo. Moore. To His Honor Joseph Mayo, Esq., Mayor of the City of Richmond."

A British Consul's Exequatur revoked The reader will find in the Dispatch of this morning the proclamation of President Davis, revoking the Exequatur of George Moore, Esq., H. B. M's. Consul for this city. This revocation is only special and personal. Mr. Moore, it appears from the "Letters Patent," issued by the PresidentMr. Moore, it appears from the "Letters Patent," issued by the President, had assumed to act in behalf of the British Government in matters occurring out of Richmond and Virginia, (in the State of Mississippi,) and his authority for so acting he was requested to furnish to the State Department. This he failed to do before another correspondence with that Department. Therefore the President considerstent with the respect due the Government that he should be allowed to exercise the functions and enjoy the privileges of a Consul in the Confederate States. Mr. Moore is a gentleman whose official and personal intercourse here has been marked heretofore for its propriety and courtesy, and also by a very discreet and intelligen
received to set in behalf of the Government of Mer Britiannic Majesty before further correspondence sould be held with him as Her majesty's Consul at the port of Richmond; and whereas the sald George Moore has lately, without accquing to said request, entered into correspondence as Her Majesty's Consul with the Secretary of War of these Confederate States, thereby disreguarding the authority of this Government: These, therefore, are to declare that I do not longer recognize teh said George Moore as Her Britennic Majesty's Consul in any part of there Confederate States, nor pesuilt him to or anjoy any of the functions, powers, or privileges allowed to the Consuls of Great . And I do wholly revoke and anual any exequsture heretofore gives to the said George Moore by the Government which was formerly authorized to grant such Exequsture as agent of the State of Virginia, and the declare the said Exequsture to be absolutely null and void from this day forward.
