Jackson, July 12. --The conduct of Cobb's Kentucky battery and the Washington Artillery, in the affair of this morning, are spoken of in highly complimentary terms by the commanding General; also, Lovell's Florida brigade.

t fight that took place on the 12th, before Gen. Johnston evacuated the city. He says: The attack made on our left was only in tended as a reconnaissance on the part of the enemy, but General Stovall kept his command secreted and led them to believe that they could take the work, and for this belief they paid dearly, losing 600 men in the attempt.--General Breckinridge speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of our troops engaged, who were Stovall's Florida brigade, the 32d Alabama, Cobb's Kentucky battery, and the 5th company Washington Artillery. The enemy came up in fine style, evidently thinking they had an easy task before them, but the gallant Floridans and Alabamans soon undeceived them, and save a few of the 3d Iowa and the "Bloody 53d," Illinois, who ran like sheep, the remainder were killed, wounded or captured, together with all their colors, save that of the 3d Iowa, the color-bearer of which ran away with it at the first shot that was fired. Those captured belo

Townsend, of the schooner David C. Foster, which arrived at New York on Thursday, gives the following account of the capture of vessels in Wachapreague Inlet, on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, a few days since: A party of rebels--twenty-five in number — acting on information furnished them, as is supposed, by a Mr. Cobb, of Sands Shoal, made a sudden attack upon several small vessels lying for the night in Wachapreague Inlet, on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, capturing five of them. These were the schooners Ireland, Davis, John J. Houseman, the Alexander, and the Government schooner Alliance, the latter loaded with supplies to the value of $30,000. The raiders pulled into Hogg's Island, but were prevented from landing there as it was occupied by Union troops. There were several fishermen's boat around,

The President in the South. Atlanta, Oct. 9. --The President arrived here by special train from Augusta last evening, and proceeded this morning to the headquarters of Gen. Bragg. At Marietta he was met by Gov. Brown, and made a short address to the people, complimenting Georgia for the stand she had occupied during the war. Her troops had done their duty on every field, and from her Governor he had received earnest and prompt cooperation. He was particularly gratified when, in response to a recent call for eight thousand troops, Gov. Brown had tendered him fifteen thousand. The President was accompanied from Marietta by Gens. Longstreet, Pemberton, and Breckinridge, Senator Cobb and Gov. Brown, of Ga., and his own personal staff.

racter. The truth is, Lookout Mountain is very much in our way. If we make Lookout Valley the battle-ground we interpose the mountain between us and our base of supplies, and expose our flank and rear to a movement either from Chattanooga or Bridgeport, and if we do not go into the valley we cannot dislodge the enemy.--Why, then, should we remain longer in the mud and water in Chattanooga Valley? Gen. Hardee has arrived and been assigned to the command of Polk's corps. Another Federal corps, making the third, has arrived from the Potomac. The enemy has fallen back from London in the direction of Knoxville, and considerable supplies have been gathered by Gen. Stevenson and sent to this army. We have had more heavy rains and more horrid weather. Do hurry up the blankets for the soldiers. Gen. Hood is still improving and is able to sit up a little. Gen. Cobb is here--Gen. Wheeler is not. Our batteries continue to exchange occasional shots with those of the enemy. Sallest,

th ardor upon the works at the foot of Mission Ridge.--Hardee, commanding, then met the attack with wonderful vigor and success. Charge after charge was repulsed. Five hundred dead lay in front of our works. Our right stood firm. The battle ceased at dark on Wednesday. After nightfall the enemy improved his position on Lookout, posting batteries to enfilade position on Mission Ridge, necessitating its evacuation, when our line fell back eastward of Mission and behind Chickamauga, where it now stands. The battle was not renewed on Thursday. Our loss in killed and wounded is not a thousand; the enemy's is at least twenty thousand. Our loss in prisoners is not known — we have six hundred prisoners. Grant commanded in person. Washington and Cobb's artillery lost all their guns. General Waltham is not seriously wounded, and is now here. Governor Harris, who fought through the battle, is also here. Our wounded are beginning to arrive. Bragg's headquarters are now at Ringgold.

ta, Nov. 28. --Gen. Bragg's headquarters, at last accounts, were at Ringgold. The enemy seem disposed to push the advantage they have gained energetically, and the battle is likely to be resumed in a day or two between Ringgold and Dalton. The spireme of the three days battle is: the enemy gained what be fought for — Lookout Mountain — and the left wing of both armies badly whipped. Our loss on the left wing was more than counterbalanced by gains on our right. We lost Slecomb's, Cobb's, and Massengill's artillery on our left, and captured all of Sherman's horses on our right. A good many field and regimental officers are arriving, wounded. Great fears for Longstreet's safety are felt. Three thousand of the enemy are advancing towards Knoxville from Cleveland. Fighting was reported at Kingston last week between our cavalry and the Yankees. Gen. Wheeler was ordered to Kingston last Monday. Next day firing was heard at London, in the direction of Kingston.
