watched and held at all cost. Three days earlier Major-General Pope, of the Federal army, had assumed command of the army of the Mississippi, then concentrated at Commerce, Mo. This was made Pope's base of operations against New Madrid. In a week he was in motion, and on the 3d of March he was in front of New Madrid. At once he drove in the Confederate outposts and invested the place. General Pope reported his strength at 22,808 present for duty. His division commanders were Brig.-Gens. D. S. Stanley, Schuyler Hamilton, John M. Palmer, E. A. Paine, J. B. Plummer and Gordon Granger. Eleven batteries of artillery, and the Second and Third Michigan regiments of cavalry, over 2,000 strong, constituted a part of his army, to which was attached a flotilla brigade, under Col. N. B. Buford, 2,251 strong. Equipments, arms and ammunition were perfect. To meet this well-appointed army, General McCown had 5,000 infantry and three companies of artillery. Brig.-Gen. A. P.

executed by Newton's division of the Fourth army corps, over 5,000 strong—Harker's brigade on the right in two columns, Wagner's brigade on Harker's left in one column, the regiments being in close column, left in front. Whittaker's brigade of Stanley's division, Fourth corps, followed Harker as a support, in column of deployed regiments. Kirby's brigade of the same division followed Wagner in column with two-regiment front, the two brigades of Stanley also numbering 5,000 men. Wood's divisiStanley also numbering 5,000 men. Wood's division of the Fourth corps sent two brigades, 5,000 strong, in rear and to the left of Newton's division, Kimball's brigade being on the extreme left. Davis' division of the Fourteenth army corps, over 6,000 strong, was on Newton's right and confronted Cleburne's division, with Grose's brigade and other troops in reserve. Cheatham's entire division was hotly engaged, but the salient in his line was the main point of attack. Davis' division, in front of Cleburne, was repulsed. Nearly all of the

nd to orders, although discouraged by recent and frequent disasters: and fully alive to the desperation of the assault about to be made, they advanced with noble courage. Before troops of equal numbers in the open field they would have been irresistible, but to attack intrenched troops, superior in numbers, advancing over an open plain without cover, was a disregard of the rules of war, a waste of precious lives, and a wrecking of an army once the pride and hope of the Southwest. Major-General Stanley, commanding the Fourth Federal corps, in his official report stated that: In view of the strong position we held, nothing appeared so improbable as that they would assault. I felt so confident in this belief that I did not leave General Schofield's headquarters until the firing commenced. Major-General Cox, commanding the Twenty-third corps, and in active command of the Federal line of battle, undertakes to account for the attack made by General Hood thus: His exasperation at what

ned safely to headquarters. General Forrest, with the Tenth Tennessee and one gun of Freeman's battery, dashed down the road toward Franklin and demanded the surrender of the garrison occupying the stockade provided as a defense of the railroad bridge. To Maj. C. W. Anderson, of his staff, the surrender was refused, but one shot from Freeman's gun brought out a white flag and the surrender of 230 prisoners. On the 9th of April, Forrest's command encountered the Federal forces under General Stanley. The Fourth United States cavalry charged and captured Freeman's battery and thirty men, but Colonel Starnes, Fourth Tennessee, dismounted the Nineteenth Tennessee and made a counter attack, recapturing the guns of Freeman's battery and some of the men. The gallant Freeman was left in the enemy's hands. As his captors were retiring from the field, they ordered him to break into a run to prevent his recapture, and as he was unable to do this, an officer rode up and shot him through th

On the 30th, the Twenty-third conorth of the Tennessee. Thomas, however, at once declared: With Schofield and Stanley, I feel confident I can drive Hood back. This day, the advance of the Fourth corps reached Athens, and Stanley was ordered to concentrate at Pulaski, until Schofield, who was moving from Resaca, by way of Nashville, could arrive. Sherman nowps was for a while divided; but Hood took no advantage of the opportunity, and Stanley remained unmolested at Pulaski until the 14th of November, when Schofield arri at this time consisted of the Fourth corps, about 12,000 men, under Major-General D.

. has the following about the doings of the Yankees in the Northern part of that State: We have advices from an authentic source from North Alabama up to the 22d July. The Yankees captured Huntsville on the 12th, and left on the 20th at 3 o'clock, returning towards Fayetteville and and one brigade going through Johnson county. The force with which they captured Huntsville was from 6000 to 8000 strong, all cavalry, finely mounted, splendidly armed, and admirably disciplined. Maj. Gen. D. S. Stanley commanded in chief, Brig. Gens. Mitchell and Turchin commanded brigades. They advanced as far as Athens. They left after staying eight days, promising to return in ten or twelve days and institute the rules in force in Nashville! Personally, the citizens were not molested — all was quiet, orderly and according to scientific arrangements. Privates were not allowed the luxury of stealing from or abusing the citizens, nor insulting them in language. But corn, oats, wheat, bacon, h

Jennings, company E, Twenty-third Virginia regiment, right temple, slight. From East Tennessee. We have nothing from East Tennessee, concerning the movements of the enemy, in addition to what we published yesterday. Yankee papers of the 25th state that the Fourth army corps, under General D. S. Stanley, is reported on its way to Knoxville, to join in the Western campaign; and its strength is estimated at from fifteen to eighteen thousand men. A cavalry force, stated at six thousand, has left Knoxville, under General Stoneman, and is moving, also, toward West Virginia. From North Carolina. We are still without official advices from North Carolina later than General Johnston's report of the battle of Bentonsville, which we published more than a week ago. When last heard from
