The recent battle at Barboursville, Ky. The following is the fullest account of the recent battle at Barboursville, Ky., that has yet reached us: Camp near Cumberland Ford, Ky.,September 16, 1861. We arrived here on the 14th instant, after a forced march of many hours--Capt. Rowan, company B, 1st Battalion of East Tennessee Cavalry, leading the van, and with Capt. Plumlee's company, forming the vanguard of the Brigade. Our situation here is one which can be made impregnable, by the aid of a little work and the proper armament.--Where our fortifications are finished, we can say to the Northern invaders, come and fall back like the wave that would try to roll over the pillows of Hercules. Since our advent into Kentucky, we have been doing picket and scouting duty, capturing arms and taking prisoners. A number of muskets, rifles, and captains' swords have been our trophies. On day before yesterday our affairs seemed to take a different turn. Cols. Rains and Bran

From Texas. The following items are taken from the Galveston News, of the 14th inst.: At half-past 4 P. M., a small sail-boat went out by permission of Col. Moore, the white flag having been set between the shore and the blockaders. Several citizens were on board. The small boat returned last night, bringing in Messrs. Parizot, Johnson, Shannon, Sanderson, and Moore, who were passengers (Mr. Parizot, consignee,) on the Mexican schr. Saleda Cos, with a Mexican commander, crew, papers, and flag, from Vera Cruz, which port they left five days ago. The schooner had a cargo of 200 sacks of coffee, of two hundred pounds each, and 150, 000 cigars. The gentlemen named were allowed to come ashore on parole, to return, we learn, so as to be sent to New York on a supply steamer to be expected shortly. They were asked to take the oath, but refused to do so. Their personal effects were not taken. The Mexican captain and three of his crew, we understand, also came as

Treasury notes and postage. --The following letter in regard to postage was lately addressed to the Treasurer at Macon, Georgia: Post-Office Department,Finance Bureau, Richmond, Sept. 20, 1861. Sir: In reply to your letter of the 14th instant, to the Postmaster-General, I am directed to inform you that the payment of postage is not the payment of public dues, and was not so regarded by the Congress, nor was it so regarded under the old Government; but, that special authority is given by Congress to receive "Five Dollar Treasury Notes" for stamps and stamped envelopes, as soon as they can be procured. That he hopes to procure and send them out for use in a short time. And that the Postmaster acted according to law in refusing to receive them in payment of postage until stamps and stamped envelopes can be procured. Very respectfully, (Signed,) J. L. Lancaster, Acting Chief of Finance Bureau. J. E. Day, Esq., Macon, Ga.

knowing as you do the promptitude with which I obeyed your call for assistance, when your life was only supported by a mere thread. Now, General, my fortune is in your hands, as your life at one time was in mine, which I protected, and all I ask is a letter of exoneration from the avarice and false degraded accusations which veils my success and happiness. Very respectfully, Your obd't serv't. T. Clay Maddux. Lynchburg, Va., Sept. 20th, 1861. Sir: In acknowledging your letter of the 16th ult., allow me to state that I have never brought any accusations against you in regard to the affair immediately after the battle of Manassas, to which you refer. I willingly state that I do not believe that either your motives or intentions were bad, and instead of bringing accusations against you. I remember with kind feelings your attentions to me when wounded on the field of battle. Respectfully, your obd't serv't, E. K. Smith. Dr. T. Clay Maddux, Richmond, Va. oc 2--1t*

Bow to print the following extract from a letter received by him from Col. Mounsel White, of Louisiana, one of the largest planters of that State. It contains matter which may prove valuable to the army. Col. White is one of the few survivors of the battle of New Orleans, and long enjoyed the confidence and friendship of Gen. Jackson. He is one of the truest and most zealous of our patriots: Deer Range, Plaquimines Parish, La., September 20, 1861. "Since I wrote to you on the 17th, I have been reflecting on the use which might be made of the extract of pepper, which you wrote to me about, and it occurred to me that great good might be effected, as well perhaps as the saving of many lives of our noble soldiers that would otherwise be cut off by the various diseases of the bowels, such as diarrhœa, dysentery, cholera, and cholic. My own experience, as well as that of Drs. Carthwright, Fenner, and others of New Orleans, had confirmed me in the belief that there is no med

ings at the mills, some twelve miles above here, where six or seven thousand Federal troops are reported to be stationed — some three thousand at the mills and three or four thousand at the head of Island One, three miles above. Orders were issued accordingly for Lieut. Col. Logwood's battalion of Tennessee Cavalry, and Lieut. Col. Miller's battalion of Mississippi Cavalry, to report themselves for service at an early hour on the following morning. On returning to camp on the morning of the 22d, from a night's picket duty on the Cairo road, I found the company whose fortunes I share and whose ensign I follow, absent in pursuance of the order, and being well assured from information previously obtained of their destination and the object of their mission, in company with three comrades of the previous night's picket, I followed in their wake, and over took them when within about three miles of the mills."

Transfer of troops. --The Mississippian, of the 24th instant, states that the State troops under Gens. West and Alcorn have been transferred to the Confederate service, and assigned to the department commanded by Gen. A. S. Johnston. The brigade under Gen. O'Farrell has marching orders. We suppose the troops stationed at Pass Christian, if not already, will soon be transferred also. Mississippi is fully enlisted in the great cause of independence, and soon she will have 40,000 of her bravest and best men in the service of the Government. She has not a dollar nor a man that she is not willing to give to the country.

From banks's column. --The Winchester Republican, of the 27th ult., says it is believed that a division of Banks's command; 5,000 strong, has again returned to the upper Potomac, extending their lines from opposite Shepherdstown to Williamsport. Brigadier General Carson has gone forth to meet them, and should they attempt to cross the Potomac another glorious victory will be won by our invincible troops.
