who seems to know him, gives the following pen and ink sketch of General McCulloch: Gen. Ben. McCulloch is a great man.--Mentally, he is of the sanguine bilious temperament — a perfectly positive man. There is no half-way ground about him; no medium decision, no compromise, no guessing; it is or it is not with him, it can or it cannot be, and if the world should decide against him, or all the offices in his division, I believe his own conscientiousness would prompt him to say, as would Jackson, "I'll take the responsibility" One of the strongest features in his mind is its precision, its clearness. Individuality is strongly marked. He is not a talkative man, and I do not think a very sociable one. He seems to be separate, self-existent, independent, original. I do not think any one ever knows his plans and thoughts. He is an indefatigable student and thinker, and never loses any time whatever. Of whatever subject his mind is directed to, he has very exalted ideas. He

ting the Confederates, and requiring those already engaged in carrying on offensive operations against the Union to disband and desist from their purposes. A bill has been introduced in the House providing that no person aiding or assisting in the rebellion against the United States shall ever hold any office of trust or profit in the State of Kentucky. Mrs. Gen. Buckner left Bowling Green, a few days since, under a flag of truce, with the dead body of her child for burial in Louisville. Gen. McCook refused to recognize the flag, and Mrs. Buckner was compelled to return. Memphis,Dec. 11.--New Madrid is now fortified and two regiments were sent there on Monday. Speeches were made by Governor Jackson, Gens. Thompson and Gant. All of General Thompson's command has re-enlisted. There is nothing important from Columbus. The rumored attack on Cairo has been abandoned. The "Manassas," or steam battering ram, from New Orleans, reached Columbus on Sunday last.

companies.--In two weeks time these regiments will be in better and more effective condition than they have been in since they were first attacked by the measles. When we consider the distances many of them have marched, at least four hundred miles during the season, their present condition must be conceded to reflect great credit upon their officers. I am particularly struck with the appearance of the two regiments that were recruited in the Kanawha Valley--Colonel McCauslin's 36th and Col. Jackson's 22d. Men who have marched so far, and fought so well, and who still present so imposing and manly a front, deserve a better fate than exile from the land of their homes. If this army is not ordered away to some distant field of service, I venture to predict that these brave men will yet see their homes before the winter is over. Col. Wharton's 51st is in admirable condition; and Col. Reynold's 50th, at present under command of Maj. Thorburn, is fast regaining the strength it lost bef

mp Jackson, Independence. The prisoners were allowed to bring their guns equipments, & with them. It will be remembered that Gen. Pr turned loose all the Federal prisoners he had in Missouri, and it is understood that these prisoners were in reciprocation of that act. The same night the steamer Yazoo was detailed for service up the river, with the same troops on duty which had been returned a few hours before. The object was to prevent a surprise. On Thursday the gunboats "Jackson" and "Polk" went up to within a short distance of Cairo, and poured several rounds into Camp Holt opposite Cairo, peppering the Federals, and compelling them to leave their tents and scamper off for their very lives. The Federal have no guns mounted at Camp. Holt, and our gunboats occupied such a position that they could not be reached either from Cairo or Bird's Point. It is believed that these attacks will speedily bring on an engagement — the very thing our boys most ardently desi
