he Philippi, which I subsequently learned. The Richmond, Hartford and Brooklyn, in line of battle, followed by the remainder of the fleet, pushed by Fort Morgan under full headway, where they were encountered by the Tennessee, Morgan, Gaines and Selma. "The Tennessee and the other vessels steamed in close range of the advancing force, and poured a heavy fire into the leading ships.

Lieutenant Smith, at Fort Morgan, lost one of his hands. An officer from the steamer Morgan reports the fleet passed the fort without replying to its fire.--The large vessels had each a double-Ender lashed alongside. As they passed, the Tennessee stood out to engage them, followed by the Morgan, Selma and Gaines. The Selma and Gaines at once ran alongside the Hartford and engaged her, she fighting them as they ran. After passing out of reach of the fort, the Hartford cast loose the double-Ender, which the Selma at once attacked; but after a severe fight the Selma hauled down her colors.

General Forrest and the Negroes. --It is known that the negroes of the Methodist congregation at Uniontown, Alabama, recently contributed one thousand dollars to the Association for the Relief of Maimed Soldiers, and being informed that this contribution was sufficient to constitute a life director, they selected General Forrest for that honor. The Selma Reporter publishes the General's letter to Dr. Neely acknowledging the compliment, in which he says: "I am not indifferent to the compliment paid me by 'the Methodist Congregation of Negroes at Uniontown.' I prise this manifestation on the part of the negro more than I fear the thousand calumnies with which a defeated and vanquished foe are endeavoring to blacken my name. It has been my fortune to have much dealing with the negro since I arrived at manhood, and I have uniformly treated them with kindness and humanity. Those that have been forcibly taken from me I know are sighing for the happy home from which they have

that post with eight hundred men. A slight skirmish was going on when the train left. General Stedman was telegraphically advised thereof, and started with a large force from Chattanooga. The latest heard from Dalton was just at nightfall on the 14th, when cannonading was prevailing. Rumor says that trains were leaving Resaca. This raid has been anticipated by General Sherman, and he was prepared to meet it at all important points. On Saturday, three hundred guerrillas attacked Selma, Livingston county, Kentucky, garrisoned by three hundred of the Eighth Kentucky, and after a sharp fight they were repulsed with the loss of eight killed, fifteen badly wounded, and several captured.

ceived notifying me of your appointment by your State as Lieutenant-Colonel and Provost-Marshal of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, under the act of Congress, approved July 4, 1864, to recruit volunteers to be to the States respectively. on applying to General Webster, at Nashville, he will grant you a pass through our lines to those States, and, as I have had considerable experience in those States, would suggest recruiting depots to be established at Macon and Columbus, Mississippi; Selma, Montgomery and Mobile, Alabama; and Columbus, Milledgeville and Savannah, Georgia. I do not see that the law restricts you to black recruits, but you are at liberty to collect white recruits also. It is waste of time and money to open rendezvous in Northwest Georgia, for I assure you I have not seen an able-bodied man, black or white, there, fit for a soldier, who was not in this army or the one opposed to it. you speak of the impression going abroad that I am opposed to the orga

Bibles from the North for Hood's army. --Our Northern brethren seem to have the Christian spirit of the Spaniards who first settled America.--Washington Irving relates, in his Knickerbocker History of New York, that the pious Spaniards, after preparing the Indians for Heaven, immediately sent them there by shooting them, burning them, pouring hot lead down their throats, and other such mild measures. The New York Bible Society is trying to fit us for Heaven, and the Yankee Generals propose to send us there. The Selms Mississippian of the 16th says: Sixteen thousand copies of the Bible and Testament arrived in Selma yesterday evening en route for Hood's army. They are the first installment of fifty thousand presented the troops of the Confederate States by the American Bible Society at New York. They came by way of Memphis.

made by way of Sandtown, where he crossed the river. This endangered communication between our army and the Atlanta and West Point road to such an extent that the change of base noted above was at once made. Providing for this contingency was a wise precaution, as it rendered our army doubly secure. The Governmental telegraph officer, Army of the Tennessee post-office, and other fixtures, at the old cave on the railroad at Newman, came down yesterday, and are en route for Blue mountain, Selma. It is supposed General Beauregard is now with the army. He arrived at Newman in the evening, and only remained long enough to take supper, when he started overland to Talladega. From the demonstrations made on his route, and what I know of the spirit or the army, I judge his appearance at the front will be universally hailed with delight. The Macon Intelligencer hazards the prediction that Atlanta will soon be occupied by our forces. It adds: The troops that are rendezvou

spondents with Hood's army agree that no general fight need be expected immediately, as Sherman is too far behind and has no transportation to march with rapidly. Very large supply trains have been passing up to Hood's army for the last fortnight. The enemy, under Kilpatrick, have made several desperate efforts to capture these trains, but, thus far, unavailingly. Wheeler is keeping them in check. A raid, however, is anticipated upon the Alabama and Tennessee railroad in the direction of Selma. Some of the Yankee garrisons recently captured in Northern Georgia were raw recruits, in camp of instruction, who had not yet had arms issued to them. From Mobile. In this quarter there is said to be considerable activity, though we are at a loss to know what it could be about, unless it be the extremely unhealthy state of that region at this season of the year.
