nce found their way up the river to Murfreesboro', in this State. We learn that they committed depredations to a considerable extent. The Wesleyan Institute, an academy for young ladies, was entered, and the furniture entirely demolished, even to the pianos and the other school apparatus. The public stores of course were destroyed. But we think there were not provisions to much amount accumulated at that place. We expect they were looking for the two steamers which were captured by Captain Elliott. Of course they did not find the boats, as they were then at Franklin. We have learned no further particulars of the incursion. The Progress says: We learn from a reliable source that three gunboats came up to Murfreesboro', N. C., on Friday last, and landed a party who tore up things generally. They stole 10,000 pounds of bacon belonging to our Commissary Department, gave away a part and destroyed the balance. They went to the Methodist Female College in the village, br

The City Battalion, Maj. Elliott, has moved its quarters to the old Fair Grounds, where the scores of white tents present a very picturesque appearance. The men are enjoying unusually fine health, and are ready for active service whenever called on.

a one eyed man, and as he shoots a Belgian rifle, whenever the peculiar whistle of that weapon is heard the Yankees call out, "Look out, boys, there's old one eye!" They say he can kill at one thousand yards, and never misses. One day two Yankee Captains were looking from behind a cotton bale, and old One Eye killed them both at one shot. Mr. Saunders also saw one other Captain with an amputated leg, which he owed to the same unknown man. Col. Hundley knows the man, says his name is Elliott, and that he belongs to the 30th Alabama. He is known in Alabama as the best marksman in the State. Gen. Grant speaks very disparagingly of Johnston, and says he will whip him certainly if he comes to attack him where he is. He has received heavy reinforcements since the fall of Snyder's Buff. Among the killed of the Yankees since they have invested Vicksburg, are Maj. Gen. Kerr, Brig.Gens. Burbridge, Lay, Bowman, and one other, name forgotten. The two gunboats sunk were the Nat

Destruction of Austin, Miss. --The Yankees destroyed Austin, Miss., including the records of the Court of Tunica county, and every house in the town except one, on Sunday, the 24th May.

Virginia. --From an admirable sermon preached in Savannah, Ga, by Bishop Elliott, of the Episcopal Church, we take the following eloquent extract: Peace, with its soft eye and radiant wing, has not come to us, but victory has ! Victory under circumstances most glorious and unexpected — not only on the land, but upon the sea. Her angel has planted one foot on the earth and the other on the ocean, and with his sword of vengeance has smitten this insulting and vainglorious nation. And what a noble spirit has he infused into the heart of our Confederacy! How it has warmed anew into fervor Virginia, that old mother of heroes and of statesmen. Under the shadow of the Federal Government she seemed to be sinking into the slumber of death, as one dies under the shade of the poisonous Upas tree. But at the war cry of her children, " Sic Sempre Tyrannic," how her rich blood has rushed back upon her heart, and startled her into life. The sound of freedom's cry has disenchanted her

moment they crossed the Ohio, and the gunboats kept the river, while the Union forces, under Generals Judah, Hobson, Shackelford, Wolford, &c., pursued them from point to point, intercepting them at one place and forcing them to fight, overtaking them at another and bringing on a contest, until at Buffington Island a large portion of their rebel force was captured, including the following officers: Colonels B.
