re in haste, abandoning the only piece of artillery they had and their ambulance. "He annoyed them a good deal, and enabled a good many of men to escape. R. E. Lee." Kilpatrick Defeated. It will be seen from the following that Kilpatrick's tramp through South Carolina is not altogether a pleasure excursion: "Headquarters, Etc., March 10, 1865. "Hon. J. C. Breckinridge, Secretary of War: --General Hampton attacked General Kilpatrick at daylight this morning andGeneral Kilpatrick at daylight this morning and drove him from his camp, tacking his guns, wagons, many horses, several hundred prisoners, and releasing a great number of our own men who had been captured. "The guns and wagons could not be brought off for want of horses. "Many of the enemy were killed and wounded. Our loss not heavy. "Lieutenant-Colonel J. S. King was killed. Brigadier-General Home, Colonels Hagan and Harrison, and Majors Lewis, Ferguson and others were wounded. R. E. Lee." Congressional. The Pr

eman who remained in Winnsboro' while the enemy was there, says that they treated the negroes a great deal worse than the white people. The army, in marching through the country, did not keep the roads unless they ran straight in the direction the enemy wished to go. For whole days the march was through the woods. --Companies of foragers were sent out in all directions to procure supplies. The army consisted of four corps--the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth and Twentieth, besides Kilpatrick's cavalry. The rations of the soldiers appeared to be short, and those who were held as prisoners suffered for food — our informant going four or six days without anything to eat. Our informant, Dr. Glover, was held as a prisoner until the Yankee army reached Lynch's creek, between and Cheraw, in or near Chesterfield district, when he was released by General Blair, commander of the Seventeenth corps. From the direction the army was then marching, he thinks they were making for Geor

teville Observer--a lying, truculent sheet, that well deserves its fate. Kilpatrick's defeat by Hampton. The letters could not well pass over the defeat of KKilpatrick by Hampton, but they try to cover it up as well as possible. It appears that Kilpatrick started, on the 9th, to "intercept" Hampton, who was protecting HarKilpatrick started, on the 9th, to "intercept" Hampton, who was protecting Hardee's rear, and, getting in front of him, waited for him to come up, which he soon did. The letter says: The attack was made in three columns. Wheeler led the ht, Hampton the centre, and Butler the left, and was perfectly irresistible. Kilpatrick's first line, under Lieutenant-Colonel Way, was actually ridden over; headquaencer, commanding the Third brigade, were in the enemy's possession. But General Kilpatrick made his escape, joined the brigade of Colonel Spencer, which was fallingwept down upon the rebels, who were swarming about the captured artillery and Kilpatrick's former headquarters. In a moment the artillery was in their possession, an

his troops were driven back, which made it necessary for Hardee to fall back to prevent being flanked. He had to abandon two guns, the horses belonging to them being all, or nearly all, killed, so that he was unable to bring them off." The Charlotte Carolinian publishes something about the part borne by the South Carolina troops in the fight. It says: "On the 16th instant, four miles below Averysboro', which is between Fayetteville and Smithfield, two corps, under Slocum, and Kilpatrick's cavalry, were met by Rhett's brigade of South Carolina regulars, and held in check for five hours, until the arrival of General Stephen Elliott's brigade (also Charleston troops), when the enemy were handsomely repulsed. We have no further details of the fight, but the results reported to us by an officer who participated in the engagement show that the Federals, lost, as is estimated, about three thousand five hundred killed and wounded; our own loss being about five hundred.

, also, toward West Virginia. From North Carolina. We are still without official advices from North Carolina later than General Johnston's report of the battle of Bentonsville, which we published more than a week ago. When last heard from, Sherman was at Goldsboro', and we think it likely he is still there, resting and recruiting his men after their tramp through South Carolina. The Yankee papers say he will next direct his columns against Raleigh. Four hundred and eighty of Kilpatrick's men, captured by Hampton at Fayetteville, reached this city yesterday. They constituted, by all odds, the nastiest lot of Yankee prisoners that have darkened the streets of this city during the war. It is scarcely possible to conceive how men could be so filthy, and live. Evidently, they had all been strangers to soap, water and combs since they set out from Atlanta last summer. From Charleston. Recent advices from Charleston state that the British subjects in Charleston have

Washington news. The attendance of visitors at the White House Tuesday was mostly confined to a few prominent officials, including Generals Grant, Kilpatrick, Howard, Logan, and Senators Guthrie and Wilson, Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, Judge Swayne, of the Supreme Court, and Mr. Trenholm late Secretary of the Treasury of the Confederate States. The President gave audiences to them all. None of the new committees got into working order to-day, although there is a large amount of business already referred to them. The House Judiciary Committee have six new propositions before them to amend the Constitution of the United States. Several prominent New Jersey Republican politicians are here, urging the Senate Judiciary Committee to make an early decision in the case of Senator Stockton, of that State. The Senate has two precedents, one for and the other against the issue involved in this case. Senator Collamer's death will be announced in both Houses on Thursday, and th
