with considerable success. He issued conciliatory orders, and declared that no act or word would be tolerated on the part of officers or men, which was calculated to alarm or irritate the people of his district. Finding that Federal forces were gathering in Kentucky in such a position as to menace his department, he led a portion of his men to Barboursville, and without serious difficulty dispersed a Federal camp. Then marching in the direction of Somerset, he caused the retreat of General Schoepf in such disorder that it received the name of the Wildcat stampede. In January, 1862, he and his force of about 4,000 men, near Mill Spring, Ky., came under command of Major-General Crittenden, who was his superior in rank. Here occurred, January 19th, the disastrous battle in which General Zollicoffer lost his life. The circumstances of his death were as follows: The day was apparently going well for the Confederates, and Zollicoffer was ascending a hill where the enemy had collecte

o live wholly on the prison fare, which was often insufficient to prevent actual hunger. General Schoepf, a foreigner by birth, was in command at Fort Delaware. He was a humane officer and did alent as well as profit, a first-class negro minstrel company was organized, and permitted by General Schoepf to give exhibitions in the mess hall. These performances were well attended by the prisoneted vigorously to Captain Ahl, and it was believed that if he had laid the complaint before General Schoepf, the pernicious practice would have been checked. The farce of opening the boxes outsideleased until July 25th. But after the release of the other prisoners, they were paroled by General Schoepf, and given the privilege of the island, and a building outside of the prison pen which had leeping, &c., &c., and we were as pleasantly situated as possible under the circumstances.

Smith's Brigade of Cheatham's Division, was held in reserve between the points, Perryville on the south, and the mouth of Doctor's creek on the north. Gilbert's Corps—a little over 21,000, under the division commanders, Mitchell, Sheridan and Schoepf—were in position west of Doctor's Creek the evening of the 7th; McCook's Corps took its place to the left of Gilbert a little after midday October 8th; its right division commanded by Rousseau, and its left by Jackson; Crittenden's Corps was in the Federal left is broken by the combined movement of the three brigades. Sheridan, of Gilbert's Corps, on the Federal center, was ordered forward across Doctor's creek, covering the Springfield pike, with Mitchell to his right and rear, and Schoepf to his rear. Powell and Adams, accommodating themselves to the conditions of the fight, advance and retire so as to preserve the left. Gilbert moves a part of his own corps to the left, nearer McCook's right; occupies the hill just left of whe

Confederates. The capital of Tennessee should at least be protected. Buell had with him five divisions of the army of the Ohio, three of which were under Generals Schoepf, McCook and Crittenden, and the other two, designated as the fourth and sixth, under Thomas. These troops reached Murfreesborough between the 3d and 5th of le road, Gilbert's corps, Sheridan resting his left on the road, Mitchell's division on his right, but in his rear and separated from him by a considerable space, Schoepf's division in reserve on Doctor's Creek. At a certain distance to the left of the road, in advance of that he had followed on his way from Macksville, McCook's cssfully repelled all the assaults of the enemy. If the battle had commenced earlier, and the general-in-chief been sooner informed, the arrival of Crittenden and Schoepf's division would certainly have changed the issue of the contest. Buell, however, still adhering to the first plan he had conceived, prepared to assume the off

are far on their way to a place of perfect security. The Prospect of a fight. The Frankfort correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial says: As I ventured to predict several days back, there will be no fight between Zollicoffer and Schoepf until the latter is strong enough to make the attack. One of Z.'s objects is to hold quiet possession of the river until the coal, provisions, and produce have been boated out to Nashville, and this would be defeated by bringing on a fight. If two or three more regiments are given to Schoepf, he can and will drive the rebels out; or if a force of six thousand will move down from Columbia and get in his rear, the whole party can be captured. This is the opinion of those at Somerset, and of gentlemen of intelligence now in this city, who know every foot of the territory. The Negro question — the Hason-Slidell affair. From a letter in the Cincinnati Commercial, dated Frankfort, December 19, we extract the following: If

ard was quietly withdrawing his army from Manassas, and would soon be in Tennessee. This may be true, but Garber feels willing to trust Gen. McClellan to keep the French rebel in check. It seems to him, however, that some move similar to that one mentioned must be made by the rebels to save their railroad communications. If General Thomas is permitted to reach Nashville Buckner's force will be cut off, and will be sandwiched between the divisions of Gen. Thomas and Gen. Buell, Carter and Schoepf at Knoxville, would break up the communication by the Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, and be equally disastrous to the rebels. Ready for an advance. A correspondent of the Buffalo (N. Y) Commercial, writing from Upton's Hill, Va., January 30, says: Gen. Wadsworth has issued orders to his brigade to have all its axes put in perfect order, and kept so, and the quartermasters have been notified to prepare transportation for their respective regiments. General McDowell has just
