it has been awarded. As the advance dashed around the camp a group stood near them looking on in wonder. As they halted, one exclaimed: You are not Yankees, are you? No, answered Sergeant Humphrey. He turned to his fellows and, clapping his hands, exclaimed: Didn't I tell you they were not Yankees? Didn't I tell you so? Who are you? he called out again. Wolford's cavalry, replied the Sergeant. Then raising his hands in utter despair, the poor Georgian exclaimed: Good heavens! Then we are gone. They were marched over to Elizabethtown, and from thence sent on to Louisville, and I suppose have long since been exchanged. We can but wish them health and prosperity, as they were a fine-looking set of men, and we wish them a like good future should we meet them again on the battle-field. The Wolf of Kentucky treats his prisoners well, and we wish to capture and kindly send home a few thousand more as we did about one thousand two hundred in our late Kentucky campaign. Kirkwood.

out that night by companies and squads at different points, from Wheeler's Gap down to Creelsboro, on the Cumberland River. We had to march upon the force in front, still larger than our own, and hence had no time to pursue his scattered forces. Night closed in, and the enemy, by different ferries, prepared beforehand, crossed over the Cumberland and made their escape. Our loss in all the campaign was six killed, twenty-five wounded, and about thirty prisoners paroled, while theirs will amount in killed, wounded, and prisoners, to over five hundred, besides the rout and demoralization following so signal a defeat. We also captured about five hundred head of cattle, most of which have been given up to loyal citizens on proof of ownership. We can mention no names distinguished for gallantry in this affair where all did so bravely and well. Kentucky, especially, will honor the dead and pray for the wounded and the well in this battle for her protection and deliverance. Kirkwood.

ng.) A tool used in smoothing the solder joints of lead pipe. Grubber. （Agriculture.) a. An agricultural implement used in Scotland for stirring and loosening the soil to plow depth. It is a heavy cultivator drawn by four horses, and supported on wheels. One form has an inner frame attached to the wheelframe, and has two ranks of teeth, 5 in the front and 6 in the rear, cutting the balks between the preceding and outside of them. The teeth consist of colters armed with shares. Kirkwood's grubber (Scotch). The form represented in Fig. 2328 is a heavy implement, not designed for tending crops, but to bring the land to a state of fine tilth, acting as substitute for the plow in some cases. It is more the practice in Britain than in the United States to give several successive plowings to ground in the course of one season, before sowing the seed. The grubber and some others of the heavier forms of cultivators are thus used. We apply the tool to the crop principally; t

rs and patent fire arms are selling like hot cakes. Not a ship in the harbor has the federal flag flying, but far down the Bay it can still be discerned flying over Fort Moultrie. There was another great demonstration tonight. The stand near the pole was beautifully illuminated.

From Washington.[Special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Washington, Jan. 18, 1861. Poor creation how much good it does 'em, after being cooped up a day or-two, to come set and show themselves in their newest rigging and have some out-door gabble. Pennsylvania Avenue was full of them yesterday afternoon. They were especially numerous in the story of a chap who has just opened a washed-jewelry swindle a few doors below Kirkwood's. He sells anything he's got for a dollar — splendid mosaic ear-rings, a set of the heaviest pure silver spoons, and the like of that. To-day, all is dark and dreary again. The poor creatures are forced back to their needles and their novels. Mr. Ro. E. Scott's long-delayed letter will appear in the Alexandria Gazette of Monday next. If every Virginian were as true to the honor of his State as the gentleman just named, and if all of us will back Gov. Letcher in his plucky response to the coercive resolutions of the Black Republican Legislatu
