ednesday morning he received a telegram from Gen. Sydney Johnston, notifying him of the advance of some 20,000 upon Cumberland Gap. He immediately took up his march for the Gap, some forty-five or fifty miles. It is proper to state that we lost no commissioned officer. A brother of Col. Newman was killed while bravery charging upon the enemy's breastworks. The enemy's loss was supposed to be some 20 killed and a number wounded. One officer remarked, in the presence of Mr. Comann, that "Beauregard with 50,000 men could not take the place in twenty days." They call the place "Wild Cat." Its proper name is Rock Castle, as it is situated near or at that place. No doubt but that the enemy will crow much over the retreat or fall back of Gen. Zollicoffer, and publish a terrible rout of his forces; but as Mr. Comann was present, you may rely upon what he reports as correct. He also reports that late Monday night, about 12 o'clock, heavy firing was heard in the direction of Camp Wild

Military absentees. We are informed that General Beauregard has issued a general order to the Colonels commanding the different regiments of the army of the Potomac, directing them to furnish the sheriffs of the towns and counties from which their respective companies come, with a list of absentees from their commands, and requiring the sheriffs forth with to arrest and return to their camps all such persons who may be fit for duty. We have noticed a detachment of soldiers in Richmond foring them to Manassas. It is said that these vigilant "detectives" spare neither rank nor condition, but arrest a Major or a Captain with as little scruple as they do a private. The rule does not apply to those who have proper passes to go home within a given period, or surgeon's certificates to show that they are unfit for duty; but the action of Gen. Beauregard shows that vigorous measures are to be applied, and absentees will see the propriety of reporting themselves voluntarily for duty.
