nding company, and Acting Lieutenant White, of that regiment, were killed; while Captain Bowman, Adjutant McGoodwin and Lieutenants Ross and Ridgeway were wounded. Later the brigade had a prolonged contest with a heavy force of Ohio and Iowa troops, and drove them with a charge, the Kentucky troops singing their battle song, Cheer, boys, cheer; we'll march away to battle, and driving everything before them.

intended next morning, but the Yankees, unwilling to risk an open fight, moved off during the night in the direction of Tupelo. A strong rear guard being left, it was some time before their movement was discovered. Part of our forces were sent in pursuit of the enemy, and the rest endeavored to cut him off from Tupelo; but when this force reached the point of intersection of the two roads, it was found that the Federal had already passed most of their trains and secured a strong position. Bell's brigade, of Buford's division, being the first to arrive, charged the enemy; but being flanked on both sides, was compelled to fall back. Our loss in this charge was heavy, especially in officers. The enemy then moved on to Harrisburg, a small village two miles west of Tupelo. Here they spent the night in fortifying, and well did they improve the time. A strong position was selected, to reach which our troops had to pass over an open field, exposed to the deadly fire of the enemy's

is course, and another pilot boat hove in sight on our port bow. As the other had done, she bore down for us unsuspiciously until near enough to make out the ensign, when she hauled on the wind and run. These pilot boats are fast sailers, and the chase was exciting. At first we had but nine pounds of steam, and the schooner held her own very well, but as the steam increased we gained rapidly, and finally brought her round by a shot from the bow gun. This was Pilot boat "No. 24; " or, the William Bell--one of the finest vessels I have ever seen. Everything about her was fitted up in elegant style and in perfect order. Mahogany berths, rosewood panels, fine carpets, damask curtains, and broad lace trimmings on beds; silver, crockery, and, in fine, everything on board was of the best and costliest description. Built only three years ago, the "24" cost $16,000 in sold; and the fitting up, $1,000 more. We found two passengers on board, an old gentleman out for his health, and a New Yor

he Association, and illustrative of the great benefits to result from this mode of kindling the fires of an ardent and triumphant patriotism, all over the Confederate States. Twenty thousand dollars were promptly contributed, before the meeting adjourned, towards the expenses of publication. The Finance Committee will wait on the citizens generally, for their contributions in aid of the fundable objects of the Association. It is to be hoped, that no one who appreciates the crisis, or has at heart the inestimable boon for which we have so long contended, for which so much treasure has been expended, and for which so much precious blood has been shed, will fail to give liberally when called upon. The officers of the Association are Dr. Burrows, President, J. Randolph Tucker and Rev. James M. Duncan, Vice Presidents, Messrs. Wm. Bell, Samuel P. Harrison and Wm. G. Paine, Finance Committee, Messrs. John P. Ballard, John O. Steger and Thomas Johnston, Committee of Distribution.
