to Pulaski, thirty-five miles, was completed with a solitary halt of half an hour at Lewisburgh. During the night we had been reenforced by the Third brigade, Colonel Low commanding. From the hill overlooking the town of Pulaski, the rear of the rebel column was seen passing out the far side, on the Lamb's Ferry road. The sunhad set: a long and fatiguing march had been made during the day, and rest for man and horse was necessary, and the command went into camp on Richland Creek. Colonel Low's command had the advance next day, October ninth, and the Second brigade the rear; consequently, I can write very little of the day's march. A brigade of the enemy had been strongly posted behind a double barricade near Sugar Creek, about twenty miles from Pulaski, and some distance from the Tennessee River. Colonel Low's command gallantly carried the barricades, taking a large number of prisoners, and killing and wounding several, with the loss of two men wounded. I believe from there

erness—soldiers' graves after the battle good many, and all the failures were not recorded upon the natural growth. In this sparsely settled region, but lately so populous, the dead occupants still outnumbered the living. The woods bordering the Orange Plank Road were thickly strewn with the mouldering bodies of Hancock's men who had furiously assailed Hill and Longstreet on that line. Here gallant old Webb, for whom taps have sounded, led his staunch brigade against Gregg's Texans and Low's Alabamans, almost up to the works, and the trefoil badges—the clover-leaves on the cap-fronts of the fallen covered the ground on the edge of the Widow Tapp's field where Lee attempted to lead the Texans' charge, and the men refused to go forward until he consented to go back. Cattle were quietly browsing the herbage in a little grass glade at this point, their pasture the aftermath of the grim harvest reaped there on that May morning long ago. To-day scarcely a trace remains of all tha

and on the 30th arrived at Jamaica. Cruising to the eastward, and making many captures, she arrived, on the 10th April, at Fernando de Noronha, and on the 11th May at Bahia, where, on the 13th, she was joined by the Confederate steamer Georgia. Cruising near the line, thence southward towards the Cape of Good Hope, numerous captures were made. On the 29th July she anchored in Saldanha Bay, South Africa, and near there, on the 5th August, was joined by the Confederate bark Tuscaloosa, Commander Low. In September, 1863, she was at St. Simon's Bay, and in October was in the Straits of Sunda, and up to January 20, 1864, cruised in the Bay of Bengal and vicinity, visiting Singapore, and making a number of very valuable captures, including the Highlander, Sonora, etc. From this point she cruised on her homeward track via Cape of Good Hope, capturing the bark Tycoon and ship Rockingham, and arrived at Cherbourg, France, in June, 1864, where she repaired. A Federal steamer, the Kearsa

en detained. These instructions were calculated to afford a cheap satisfaction to the United States, without injuring the Confederates. Unfortunately, the Tuscaloosa disturbed the calculation by again coming into port, after a cruise to Brazil, and the colonial governor proceeded to detain her, in accordance with the instructions of his superiors. This was not at all what the Home Government wanted; and it immediately disavowed the act, and ordered the restoration of the Tuscaloosa to Lieutenant Low, her commander, on the ground that having been once allowed to enter and leave the port, he was fairly entitled to assume that he might do so a second time. Comment on these proceedings is hardly necessary. Having made arrangements soon after his arrival at Cape Town for the sale of the Sea Bride, his latest prize, and of the Tuscaloosa's cargo, Semmes retired with his vessels to Angra Pequeña, a point on the west coast of Africa, outside of civilized jurisdiction, and made the tran

rman to obtain the necessary authority for carrying him back into bondage. Finding the magistrate gone to dinner, they placed the colored man in the entry, while Mr. Low and his companions guarded the door. Some of the colored people soon informed Isaac T. Hopper of these circumstances, and he hastened to the office. Observing tolored man a chance to escape. He stepped up to the men at the door, and demanded in a peremptory manner by what authority they were holding that man in duress. Mr. Low replied, He is my slave. This is strange conduct, rejoined Friend Hopper. Who can tell whether he is thy slave or not? What proof is there that you are not a band of kidnappers? Dost thou suppose the laws of Pennsylvania tolerate such proceedings? These charges arrested the attention of Mr. Low and his companions, who turned round to answer the speaker. The slave, seeing their backs toward him for an instant, seized that opportunity to rush out; and he had run two or three rods be

men lay on their arms, ready to renew the contest in the morning. Gen. Floyd fell back over the river during the night, sinking his boats and destroying the temporary bridge. The depth of the river, and the exhaustion of the troops, rendered a pursuit impossible. The Federal loss was fifteen killed and seventy wounded; the loss of the Confederates in unknown, as they carried off their dead and wounded.--Their loss, however, must have been serious. [Second Dispatch.] Louisville, Ky., Sept. 13. --Among the names mentioned for gallantry and soldierly conduct by Gen. Rosencranz, are Gen. Benham; Colonels McCook, Little, and Low, Captains Hartzuff, Snyder, and McMullen, and Major Burke. Gen. Rosencranz's official account of the battle is very similar to that already sent. He says there were about twenty Federals killed and about 100 wounded. He found two stands of colors, a few prisoners, and some camp equipage, which Gen. Floyd left when he evacuated his position.

able information that there were 10,000 men of the enemy present. We arrived about 11 o'clock within half a mile of town, and were immediately placed in position. Low's third regiment, with Jennings's and Rapley's battalions, were posted on the right of the Greenville road, some 300 yards in advance of the 2d and 4th regiments, which were on the left of the same. Our 12- pounder, commanded by Lt. Harris, was 300 yards in the rear of Low's position, at the edge of a wooded hill. The three 6-pounders were placed on or close adjacent to the road. After driving in their pickets, with some skirmishers, detached for that purpose, at about 12 o'clock they adva bring off his gun, to leave it. At this moment, Brown's battalion, which had been placed in the rear of the gun, came on at a double-quick, to cover the retreat of Low's command. They attempted to take off the gun by hand, and actually did drag it up hill a considerable distance, but were at last forced to leave it to the tender

hat city, in relation to the building or Confederate ships in England, says: A feeling of strong indignation was expressed at the conduct of the British Government, which connives at the fitting up of those armed vessels in English ports. Mr. Low made an interesting statement, showing how differently John Bull acts when he is in trouble himself and when his neighbor is in trouble. During the Russian war a vessel had been fitted up here for the Canton trade, and the British Consul having heard of it, and suspecting the ship was intended for Russia, remonstrated with the American Government. The consequence was that she was detained, though her owner was perfectly innocent of any intention of violating the neutrality laws. Mr. Low thinks, and everybody thinks, it is not unreasonable that the English Government should be required to follow the same course now as regards the United States. It has been asked to do so; but what course does it pursue? It is stated that when Earl

mships does the New York Chamber of Commerce think our ship-builders turn out in a year? Are we to shut up our ship-yards, as well as our factories, as an homage to the Federal lust of conquest? The New York Chamber of Commerce, and especially Mr. Low, who seems to be their mouth-piece, would appear to be of this opinion. They have "heard with amasement" that other ships are being built in England and Scotland which may possibly become, at a future time, Confederate vessels-of-war. Mr. Low Mr. Low has, moreover, heard that an iron-clad ship is being built here for that purpose, and he has also read in the public papers that a ship loaded with Confederate stores was lately sunk in the Clyde.
