Alston closes: July 9th--We marched on to Corydon, fighting near there 4,500 State militia, and capturing 3,400 of them and dispersing the remainder; then moving, without a halt, though Salisbury and Palmyra to Salem — at which point, telegraphing with our operator, we first learned the station and numbers of the enemy aroused for the hunt — discovered that Indianapolis was running over with them — that New Albany contained 10,000--that 3,000 had just arrived at Mitchell; and, in fact, 25,000 men were armed and ready to meet the "bloody invader."

Very dangerous mistake, at least for me. Demanded unconditional surrender. Told Col. Hanson we had his reinforcement's cut off, and resistance was useless. He refused to surrender, and I than ordered him to order out the non combatants, as we would be compelled to shell the town.pringfield.--He got Capt. Smith to parole me.

. There are a hundred thousand men in the South who feel as I do, that they would rather an earthquake should swallow the whole country than yield to our oppressors. Men who will retire to the mountains and live on acorns, and crawl on their bellies to shoot an invader wherever they can see one. A writer in the Enquirer, who was with the expedition, gives an interesting account of it. We make some extracts, commencing where the journal of Col.

Another courier arriving about the same time reported that a gunboat had approached near our battery and on being fired upon had retired precipitately.

Started on to the command. When I reached the point on the Bardstown road where I had expected the 2d brigade to encamp, was halted by a party of cavalry.
