hat shall be sufficient to prohibit the same during the present war and blockade — the proceeds thereof to be applied to the support of families with us of our soldiers on the tented field. We approve these resolutions, and hope our Legislature, at its present session, will devise some wise and equitable plan to put a stop to the evil. There is a wrong doing upon this subject, that ought to be reached in some way and regulated by law. On the same day, in the Tennessee Legislature, Mr. Caruthers, from the Committee on Judiciary, to whom was referred that portion of the Governor's Message, reported two bills on the subject of frauds, speculations, and monopolies. One was a bill to suppress buying and selling on false pretences, and the other was a bill to suppress monopolies. These bills have fines and imprisonments in county jails and pentitentiaries as the penalties for various grades of offences under these acts. The Governor of Alabama recently issued a proclamation cond
the Twenty-eighth Tennessee regiment, and Lieutenant Van Vleck, Carnes' battery. Among the wounded were Colonels John H. Anderson and D. M. Donnell; Lieutenant-Colonel J. G. Hall, and Major T. G. Randle; Captains Puryear, Callum, and Bonds, and Lieutenants Cunningham, Leonard, Flynn, and Shaw, Eighth Tennessee regiment; Lieutenants Potter, Owen, and Worthington, Sixteenth Tennessee regiment; Captain McDonald, and Lieutenants Apple, Dauley, and Taylor, Twenty-eighth Tennessee regiment; Adjutant Caruthers, Lieutenants Banks and Ridout, Thirty-eighth Tennessee regiment, and Captain Burton, Lieutenants Billings, Chester, White, Hainey, Tillman, and Wade, Fifty-first and Fifty-second Tennessee regiments. All the field officers of the brigade, and the officers of the battery, acted with such distinguished gallantry that I feel it would be invidious to make a distinction. Company officers and men, with very inconsiderable exceptions that have come to my knowledge, bore themselves with a ga

The hill was carried mainly by the Ninth Arkansas and Twenty-second Mississippi, eac time, rendered the work comparatively easy for my brigade. The Twenty-second Mississippi regiment, Captain Lester commanding, deserves special mention for their gallant charge on this occasion. The Mississippi battalion of sharpshooters, Captain Caruthers commanding, were conspicuous for their coolness and courage, also for joining the Twenty-second Mississippi regiment in the charge in which they captured the battery. The First Missouri regiment, gathering in, charged, while deployed as sk

The umpires being named, the Regulators marched through Salisbury, gave three cheers, and quietly returned Letters of Tryon and of Martin; Caruthers in Life of Galdwell. to their farms, which were the best lands in the whole Province. This account, given by the very officers of whom complaint was made, was the statement on the Government side, not of the Regulators. See Frohock and Marthose who remained, disputed the field for two hours, fighting first in the open ground and then from behind trees, till at last having nearly expended their ammunition, Tryon to Hillsborough, They left behind them little ammunition.

ted residence of Governor Spottswood. Built by this dignitary, in the early part of his Administration, it was his favorite abode, when not resident in Williamsburg. Here were passed his days of freedom from the restraints of official life. Here, as at the palace in Williamsburg, he dispensed his elegant hospitality, and set an example of loyal service and courtesy which was imitated in the social life of that period. Here, with Spottswood for the hero, are laid most of the scenes of Dr. Caruthers' interesting novel of the "Knights of the Golden Horseshoe"--a story founded on an incident of his Administration — and no story, I am sure, has a sturdier hero than this remarkable old soldier. This house descended through many hands till the time of the Revolution, when it was known as the "Moore House," a name which it still bears, from a widow Moore, who at that time owned it. In the preparations and progress of the siege it became Washington's headquarters, and one of its ample roo

teamer to Memphis.--The steamer ran the blockade of the enemy's batteries on the Missouri shore under cover of night. Although Confederate batteries of heavy guns have been planted on the opposite Tennessee shore, it is still hazardous to pass the enemy's batteries in the day-time — The following special or fere from Gen. Trudeau will be read with interest: Headquarters Heavy Artillery, Madrid Bend, March, 16, 1862. Special Orders No. 69. The Brigadier General commanding the Heavy Artillery returns his thanks to Col.

e got off safely. We learn that all the Southern Guards escaped, except Frank Harrison, who was left in the hospital; also Capt. Hoadley and ten of his men; Lieut. Torrey and thirty nine men; Lieut. Torrey and thirty nine men; Lieut. M. Tresevant, 40th regiment; Robert Pitman and Jno. Ginnis, of Baker's regiment; Captain Robert Lewis and seven men. Captain Jackson, Lieut. McClure, and their commands, are supposed nearly all to be safe. The same is believed of Captains Stirling, Rume, and Caruthers. The adventures of many that escaped war of great interest. A gentleman, from whom we have received many of the above particulars, after starting from the island with his party, in the direction of Tiptonville, became suspicious that there was danger in that direction, and a detour was made by waving through the overflowed country. Thus the town was avoided, and the river gained below. Here the company, consisting of four persons, constructed a raft with which to float down the Mis
