For the wounded. --We have received from Robert Gray, Esq, of Graysville, Georgia, a box containing several articles useful for the sick and wounded soldiers, which we have seat to the Ladies' Aid Society. according to his directions. Mr. Gray also sent by another hand $20 to aid the Society. Nursing the Sick--Letters received from ladies who represent that they are wil ling to assist in nursing the sick and wounded soldiers, have been handed over to those who can best inform them upon the subject. We cannot ourselves answer their interrogatories.
To Correspondents. Correspondents will bear in mind that all communications, in order to secure attention, a publication, must be written only on one of the sheet. Mr. Robert Gray, of Graysville, Ga., sends to the following recipe for the effectual cure that "red demon of the nursery," scarlet : Take one tablespoonful of far and add to yellow or yolk of one egg to it; mix the two pell together and spread on cotton cloth, bend to the bottoms of the feet, the same to be placed between two thin cloths and around the throat — to be removed every morning until the disease disappears; half dozen applications generally cures the disease. Now tar is preferable, but old will never. I have treated several desperate cases the above, and know it to be a certain in."

The Yankee loss was upwards of fifty during the cannonade off Friday. Persons out from Nashville say that the Unionists there think of nothing, talk of nothing, and hope for nothing, but the possession of East Tennessee. A gentleman who came through the lines recently, from Nashville, reports that Andrew Johnson and Person Brownlow have left that city, announcing their intention to accompany the federal army into East Tennessee. A duel took place a few mornings since near Graysville stertor between a well-known Tennessee field General and a surgeon of distinction in the army also from Tennessee. We have not learned the particulars and withhold the names of the combatants. The enemy is still activity engaged on the opposite bank of the river. The of the sappers and miners can be distinctly heard by our pickets in the stillness of the night. They are as busy as beavers during the night and altogether invisible through the day. The impression prevails that

e partridges — officers and all — in confusion, remarking at every step that "the rebels had them surrounded." I omitted to speak of the engagement that Col. Scott's cavalry brigade had with the same force on the Ringgold and Dalton road. On the morning of the 10th Gen. Forrest, with Col. S.'s brigade, went to Ringgold.--On the way thither evidence of infantry having passed into the town was violate. Had not been in town more than half an hour before scouts reported the enemy on the Graysville road. In a few minutes more signal guns were fired from all the heights adjacent the town. Simultaneous with the firing our pickets were forced in on all the roads north of Ringgold. The artillery was soon hurried back on the Dalton road with portions of the cavalry. In a few minutes the enemy began to shell the town. In the meantime their sharpshooters had cut off any further retreat on the Dalton road. 140 men, under Lt. Col. Montgomery, of the 5th Tennessee, were thus cut off, and
hering up the spoils of our brilliant victory, and in reconnoitering the position of the enemy. A council of war was called that night by the General commanding, at which it was determined, as I am credibly informed, to put the army in motion up the Tennessee river the following day, with the intention of crossing that stream, turning the enemy's left flank, and pushing on across the mountains towards Nashville. Accordingly on the next day the troops were moved by the right flank towards Graysville, and Chickamauga station, in pursuance of the resolution come to at the council of war; but that night the whole programme was changed by the Commander-in-Chief, and the head of the column turned back to Chattanooga. It has been said, and I think correctly said, that if the Confederates had made a vigorous pursuit on Monday and Tuesday after the battle, before the enemy had recovered from the stunning effects of his disastrous defeat, they might have reoccupied Chattanooga, captured a

An intelligent officer, who was with General Bragg at the time indicated, points out the error in a letter, from which I take the following extract: "You state that on the evening of the 21st of September a council of war was held, at which it was determined to cross

The telegrams in regard to Wheeler's operations at and around Dalton are exceedingly muddled. --On Sunday and Monday last Wheeler is reported to have attacked the Federal garrison at Dalton, and to have been put to flight in great confusion by troops sent to the relief of the garrison by General Steadman. It is now represented that Steadman, in advancing from Chattanooga three days later, met Wheeler at Graysville, north of Dalton, and but eight miles distant from Chattanooga; that a fight ensued, in which General Steadman was badly wounded, and Colonel Straight, of Indians, killed. In one account of this affair the result is not stated; but in a telegram from Nashville it is reported that Wheeler was defeated. Another Confederate force was, on Wednesday last, at Cleveland, a point on the Knoxville road, northeast of Chattanooga. A brigade had been sent from Chattanooga to drive off the enemy and
State road as far as Marietta, and observed carefully the movements of the enemy, and that he has the entire situation under the crown of his hat. Three corps of the Federal army, he assures me, have returned to Atlanta. The advance guard left Graysville, a little village sixteen miles from the Tennessee river and six from Ringgold, on the evening of the 27th of October. They had made a rendezvous up and down the railway from Chickamauga to Graysville the week previous, and waited only for the Graysville the week previous, and waited only for the shipment of supplies. General Sherman, who had gone to Washington and got back to Nashville, made arrangements to leave Thomas in command in Middle Tennessee, and then took the cars for Atlanta, saying, according to a letter in the Cincinnati Commercial, "that he had settled Hood's hash." He reached Chattanooga on the 26th, and then proceeded down the country the next afternoon with the troops. Communication was uninterrupted and the transportation was rapid and immediate.
