rom Savannah, in a southwardly direction, is the mouth of Yellow creek, which is eighteen miles nearly due west from Corinth, Miss., the junction of the Memphis and Charleston and the Mobile and Ohio Railroads. It being all important to the enemy to obtain possession of this latter point and the two roads in his demonstrations on Memphis, he is now cutting a military road from the Tennessee, at Yellow creek, to Corinth. Buell's Nashville column has already pushed its advance as far as Columbia, Tenn., and will no doubt march so Yellow creek to support the Tennessee column, if necessary, in its effort to gain the Charleston road. It is also supposed that the enemy may attempt to gain our rear, by the way of Florence, Ala., on the Tennessee, to this point, Tuscumbia, which is only four miles distant, by a branch road, from the Charleston road. There is a splendid bridge over the Tennessee to Florence, which could be destroyed in case an effort was made. Buell's column of 60,000, or

Notes of the War. A correspondent of the New Orleans Delta, who left Island No. 10 on the evening of the 19th ult., the fifth day of the bombardment, writes as follows: The bombardment of Island no.10. For reasons which it would not be proper to make public, I think Gen. Trudeau, who has command of the artillery, aided by Gen. Marsh Walker, of the infantry, will be able to hold the position for some time, despite the circumstances operating against them. In the meantime, it is to ady to advance either down the river against the island, or against Gen. Polk's army on the railroad. One thing seems certain, a heavy blow to one side or the other must soon be effected somewhere in Tennessee. Whatever the final issue at Island 10, Gen. Trudeau and our army there deserve the highest gratitude of the country for their success and determination thus far in holding that position against the superior appliances of the enemy for its bombardment. While alluding to Gen. Trudea

nly four miles distant, by a branch road, from the Charleston road. There is a splendid bridge over the Tennessee to Florence, which could be destroyed in case an effort was made. Buell's column of 60,000, or a portion of it, might also advance to Florence from Columbia, which is 68 miles; the distance from Tuscumbia to Nashville, via Columbia, by the old military road made by Jackson in the Creek war, being about 110 miles. The great battle must therefore be fought between Corinth and Jackson, Tenn., and between the Tennessee and Mississippi rivers. Our whole country is thoroughly aroused to the importance of this great battle, and every man has made up his mind that we are not to be whipped. All feel that we must conquer or die in this battle. Our forces will be equal to every emergency, and the Mississippi river will hold the slain of the foe. It is stated that the enemy may make an attempt to cross the Cumberland mountains and come in at Chattanooga, but I think attention has

After administering the oath they left, saying that they intended to arrest all of the prominent Southern men of the community. A capture and a Release. The Tallahassee Floridian, of the 22d ult., says: Col. D. P. Holland, who was some time since taken prisoner with eight men, by one of the Yankee blockading vessels of Fernandina, arrived in Tallahassee on Tuesday last, and left on Friday morning. It seems that after he had been decoyed on the enemy's vessel by their raising a French flag of distress, he was treated kindly by the commander, though his men were put in irons for a time. On the arrival of Commodore Dupont, Col. Holland, with his men, were sent on board his vessel, where they were well treated. Col. Holland was conducted into the Commodore's state room, who received him with courtesy, and after sprea

ather Mullon, St. Patrick's Church, N. O. The Mississippi Valley. The Memphis Appeal learns from an officer whose position gives him many facilities for obtaining correct information, that General Van-Dorn is rapidly concentrating his forces, and will immediately move to Pocahontas. His object is to move against New Madrid, and assist in defending the great Valley of the Mississippi. It is far more important that we should hold the Mississippi, than the hills and swamps in Southwestern Missouri. It may not be strictly proper (says the Appeal) to refer to movements of this character, but our military authorities will see the importance of quieting the apprehensions of the people of the Southwest. We have never participated in the uneasiness felt by many for the safety of the Valley; but that considerable alarm has prevailed in many quarters, which it were well to allay, cannot be denied. Having arrested the further progress of Gen. Curtis in the wilds of the West; we

y the following explanations, which may be understood by the reader if he will look on a map of Tennessee and North Alabama, (and, by the way, nothing is so much needed at this time as a good map of these two States,) which have become the present seat of war. The enemy's approaches may be said to consist of four columns. First, by gunboats by way of the Mississippi from Calro; second, by the Tennessee river; third, from Nashville, on the Cumberland; and fourth, from Columbus, Ky., and Paris, Tennessee, where a large body of Federals are held in reserve for reinforcements. The column on the Tennessee river has concentrated principally at Savannah, on the east side of the river, their numbers being estimated at from thirty to fifty thousand, and which it will be seen is nearly on a line with Memphis. Forty five miles from Savannah, in a southwardly direction, is the mouth of Yellow creek, which is eighteen miles nearly due west from Corinth, Miss., the junction of the Memphis an

een him and his house and fired off his gun. He was then told that he was a prisoner, and that they were Lincoln pickets, who had come through Wheeler's Gap — that their army had possession of the whole country, and that they had authority to swear in and arrest all men whose loyalty to the Federal Government was suspected. They then ordered him to take the oath without delay!--This he positively refused to do, at the same time remarking that he was a man loyal to his State and to the Confederate States, and would not take an oath which his conscience repudiated and his patriotism spurned. He was then told that unless he complied with their order, without further hesitation, that they would shoot him instantly. One of the cowardly assassins then stepped forward, and despite his remonstrances, forced him to take the oath of allegiance to the negro dynasty. After administering the oath they left, saying that they intended to arrest all of the prominent Southern men of the community.

Two thousand Indians were engaged in the battle. Eighteen of our killed were scalped by them. Price, with about one thousand men, retreated northward, and then took an easterly direction. Gen. Jeff. C. Davis is after him. Movements and Indications of the enemy. A correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune writes from Tuscumbia, Ala., as follows: An idea of the enemy's movements and intentions may be formed by the following explanations, which may be understood by the reader if he will look on a map of Tennessee and North Alabama, (and, by the way, nothing is so much needed at this time as a good map of these two States,) which have become the present seat of war.

As a matter of caution, however, he urges me to add that he hopes, if the liquor be of good quality, you will not venture to taste it, as he might thereby incur much risk of losing it altogether — a privation which, however agreeable to yourself, would be attended with serious inconvenience to himself during the prevalence of the prevailing "nor'easters." S. B. B. The battle in Arkansas--another Federal account. We copy the following dispatch from a late number of the Missouri Republican: Springfield, Mo., March 11th. via Rolla, March 13.--A messenger arrived at 10 o'clock last night, bringing additional news of the battle. The engagement took place on Little Sugar creek, five miles this side of a stream of the same name, where the skirmish took place. On the march down, in anticipation of an attack on the South, Gen. Curtis ordered the trains to be drawn up on
