enemy were circulated, and were believed even by officers of high rank. Upon the second day, matters had arrived at such a state, and the excitement and disorder were so extreme, that it became necessary to take other precautions to repress the license that was prevailing, besides the establishment of guards and sentinels about the camps where the troops lay; and General Johnston ordered the establishment of a strong military police in Nashville. The First Missouri Infantry, Under Colonel Rich, a valuable officer, who lost his life at Shiloh. one of the finest and best-disciplined regiments in the service, was detailed for this duty, and Morgan's squadron was sent to assist it. Our duty was to patrol the city and suburbs, and we were constantly engaged at it until the city was evacuated. Floyd had no common task in holding in check an infuriated mob, and in giving coherence to the routed fugitives of Donelson. His duty was, besides, to save from the wreck the most importan

locality, though conflicting and unreliable in the extreme, appeared to agree in placing the strength of the rebels at one thousand two hundred, cavalry and infantry, in addition to the heavy batteries, which they represented as containing nine heavy pieces, two of them being columbiads. Under these circumstances, I deemed it expedient on consultation with Capt. Steedman, United States Navy, commanding naval forces, to call upon the garrison of Fernandina for reenforcements. To this call Col. Rich, Ninth regiment Maine volunteers, commanding that garrison, responded promptly, by sending three hundred men early on the following morning. Later on that day, from further information received, Captain Steedman, at my request, sent three gunboats to feel the position of the rebels, shelling them as they advanced, when the batteries were found to be evacuated. After which Lieut. Snell, United States Navy, sent a boat ashore and raised the American flag, finding the rebel flag in the ba

--We want men in command with spirit, and suited to the emergency. Capt. John Cohoon, long the presiding Magistrate of our County Court, but of late being infirm from old age, was conveyed from his residence yesterday to cast the first spade of dirt at Town Point. The Captain has heretofore been a strong Union man, but is perfectly indignant at the course of the Yankee Administration. Hundreds of negroes are employed on our fortifications, in charge of the best military engineers. Lieut. Rich, late in charge of the Pennsylvania, but who escaped from that ship to the ranks of the Southern army, has been appointed by Gen. Gwynn in command of Town Point. Everybody was elated to see Gen. Gwynn on Sunday last. He is very generally known hereabouts, and has two sons residing in the county. War stock went up five hundred per cent. at the sight of him. Hundreds of troops from Petersburg, Richmond, South Carolina and Georgia, are daily passing over our railroads to where it
