ly did Mrs. Tod, myself, and all the children we took away with us (five in number) return safely to you, but we brought back two more. A Yankee account of Gen. Polk's Bravery. There is no falsehood so monstrous or absurd that the journals of the North do not attempt to make its readers swallow. The following appeared inone of the Confederate gun- boats came up to Columbus and captured the little steamer Equality. At that time General Pillow was in command as New Madrid under General Polk. The latter had just paid a visit to New Madrid when the capture of the Equality occurred. As the Confederate gun-boat retreated down the Mississippi with her prize, she was followed by the United States gun-boats Lexington and A. C. Taylor. A sharp cannonading took place within a few miles of New Madrid. General Polk, hearing the cannonading in his fear imagined that the United States forces were coming after him, and, hastily issuing an order to General Pillow to fail back upon Ra

Desertions to the enemy from Pensacola. From a letter in the New Orleans Picayune, dated "Warrington, Fla, Jan, 4, we clip the following paragraph: Since my last writing nothing of moment has occurred, except the desertion of six marines to the enemy. It was a hold step. They belonged to the company of Captain Van Benthuysen, of the C. S. marine corps, and one Sunday, just after reveille, in the grey of the morning, they took a boat and rowed rapidly across, having previously spiked with wood the guns of the battery to which they belonged. It is believed the sentry himself spiked them, else it would have been discovered. They were a considerable distance from shore and rapidly gaining the other side before they were seen; hundreds of soldiers stood on the beach awaiting them. It was very aggravating.

ll of the towns on the lake coast are being deserted, and the people are moving into the interior. It would be useless to send troops there while the enemy have command of the sound and can shell the whole coast with impunity. Seven negroes have proved traitors and gone off to the fleet. Four of them, belonging to Mr. Alfred Lewis, were chased by their master, when a Yankee gunboat came to their rescue and took them on board. Two others belonged to a widow lady at Biloxi, and one to Mr. Jas Higgins, All the other negroes are sent into the country. From Bowling Green--order for the removal of women and children — brilliant skirmish. The Bowling Green correspondent of the Nashville Union and American, of the 7th inst., write: An order has been issued by the commanding General of this post, warning citizens, women and children of the imminence of an early engagement, and advising them to remove from the city before the occurrence of actual hostilities.

This may not be correct, though the report is just received and from a source which is entitled to consideration. Arrest of Tories. Peter French and Harley Miller, who live near Hedgesville, in Berkeley county, (says the Martinsburg Republican,) were arrested on Tuesday last by a portion of Captain Myers's company, and brought to this place and confined. They are charged with giving information to the enemy at Bath, on Friday, the 3d, of the approach of the Confederate forces upon that place. Except for this notification to the Yankees, it is believed nearly all, if not the entire force of 1,500 would have been captured at that place.--French and Miller had observed the movements of Col. Ashby's command in the direction of Bath, and preceded them there in a buggy, representing themselv
Marcy (search for this): article 2
Col. Baker's funeral ceremonies took place at Mr. Webb's. The friends, the honorable, and the military filled the house, and the reporters were shut out. Now came the tug of war. One reporter's efforts alone I will give as a sample, selecting the victor in the case Having failed in all other efforts to get in, he braised it up to General McClellan and asked a pass. This was ridiculous of course, as it was neither McClellan's house nor funeral, and reporter was snubbed. Off he goes to Gen. Marcy, chief of McClellan's staff, and was as cavalierly treated as he deserved. Round the house he goes, and finding the omnipresent contraband, gives him a dollar to shoot him down the scuttle hole, when round through larder and lobby he creeps to the side of the parson. But he care not use his pencil lest it bring on a gentle leading out by the ear.--Down he sits with one eye half closed in full funeral flow, and the other on the parson's manuscript. The address over, down knelt the venera

e Sunderland to close with prayer — down knelt reporter, meek and mousing; and when all hearts were melting, and all eyes were closed save reporter's one, he stole the manuscript and "slid Canute out." Long the weary parson looked for his truant address, but when morning dawned he was enabled to read it entire in the papers. From Kentucky — Desertions and Dissatisfaction among the Yankee troops. From a very interesting letter in the Nashville Union and American, dated Bowling Green, Jan. 8, we extract the following: The Yankees have no doubt completed the repairs of Green River bridge. They are also in small force this side of the stream.--They cross over, sometimes a whole brigade, and again only by regiments, pretend to fortify, fire a few big guns and then cross back again — careful to keep the river between them and danger. The latest and most direct information from Crittenden's command shows the same spirit of dissatisfaction and insubordination that prevails<

apprehended, the thoughtlessness of the robust man will induce an unnecessary exposure that may bring on the diseases common to such weather. Efficacy of prayer. The most remarkable instance of the power of prayer, says the Cincinnati Commercial, happened in the case of Governor Tod, as related by himself in an address he made lately to the Briar Hill miners, on the occasion of leaving Briar Hill to prepare for assuming the chair of State. Governor Tod said: In the spring of 1817, when about to leave home in the service of our National Government, you met on this and gave me your prayers and good wishes for the safe return of myself and family; and I have felt that to those prayers and good wishes, in part, am I indebted for that safe return; for not only did Mrs. Tod, myself, and all the children we took away with us (five in number) return safely to you, but we brought back two more.
