From the army of Tennessee. Dalton, Feb. 25. --Our army is in line of battle at Tunnel Hill. There was a sharp engagement yesterday between Clayton's brigade and the enemy, lasting half the day. Wolford's cavalry, backed by a regiment of infantry, attacked our line, and were repulsed three times. A hundred Yankee saddles were emptied. In the first assault our ten-inch rifled Parrott did great execution. One cavalry and two infantry brigades of Yankees are at Lafayette. [second Dispatch.] Dalton, Feb. 25, P. M. --There has been heavy artillery skirmishing along the lines all day, with occasional volleys of musketry. Both sides are evidently manœuvering for position. Casualties trifling. [third Dispatch.] Dalton, Feb. 26. --The enemy have disappeared from our front, retreating towards Chattanooga. Wheeler is in pursuit. A dispatch from him, three miles this side of Ringgold, announces the capture of several prisoners. The Yankee forc

he capture of the bark Emma Jane on the 14th of January, off Ajuga, on the southwestern coast of India. This is the last positive information of her whereabouts, though it was generally supposed she would pursue her course up the coast and touch at Bombay, as the Times of India, (Bombay,) of January 23, speaks of it as not at all unlikely. That journal urged the people to "show no favor to the pirates." The Privateer Tuscaloosa to be released. In the House of Commons, on the 25th of February, Mr. Peacocke asked her Majesty's Government on what grounds the Tuscaloosa had been seized at the Cape of Good Hope. Lord Palmerston--The Tuscaloosa was seized, in the first instance, in consequence of instructions sent out to the Cape, founded on a former supposed condition of things. The Tuscaloosa was not in port when those instructions arrived; but when she returned the Governor, acting upon those instructions, seized her. Upon further representations, however, and a full con

It is not my purpose to give a general account of what was really a battle, though only looked upon, from the indifference with which its proportions have been treated by the press, as a small skirmish. Certain it is that for over a day Thomas, with all of his force, attempted
