back again.--We occupied our position some minutes, when they made an effort to surround us. We then fell back in the edge of Falmouth and prepared for them again but they didn't advance. It was then daybreak, and we marched back to the battle ground. I was one of ten who went to the ground first, when I counted six dead men and nine dead horses lying in and near the road. Others went further, and saw in all eleven dead men and thirteen dead horses. We got eleven saddles, a number of Sharp's carbines, Colt's pistols, and other articles. A man whom we took, mortally wounded, told Col. Lee that they had a full regiment of cavalry, besides infantry and artillery in quite large force; and that they made the rush on us in order to save the bridges on the Rappahannock. We fell back across the river, and our column had not gotten from Falmouth bridge before the enemy were throwing shells over us. We scarcely had time to burn the bridges when the Falmouth hills were completely l
e escapes of a prisoner from Morgan's pickets, who communicated information of his movements to the telegraph operator at Bell's station, some miles this side of Cave City, by which means the train from Nashville, having on board the prisoners of Morgan's party taken at Lebanon, was turned back, and thus the gallant Colonel was disappointed in liberating them. From Cave City Col. Morgan returned by way of Burkeville, where he captured seven of Wolford's cavalry who were armed with Sharp's rifles and revolvers; thence by Livingston and White Pi los to Sparta. From Sparta our last intelligence of the partisan Colonel is that he was making his way through the mountains to Chattanooga. Whether he will "turn up" next in Northwestern Virginia or on the Ohio river near Paducah, we have no intimation. It was reported in Kentucky that Col. Wolford, whose cavalry fought Morgan at Lebanon, was wounded in the bowels, supposed mortally. Nail the colors to the Mast. We c

poor followers, without any distinction but what habit gave, and all equally hunted and forced back at every turn by the counting enemy. After this, to our great relief, we soon fell in with the last of the rebel soldier — a picket of cavalry. They seemed somewhat astonished at first, and two of them rode out towards us. As usual with their mounted men, they were ulterior follows, physically, much more so than the infantry. The passes were examined, the men grouped about quietly with Sharp's carbines, in rest — probably taken from our cavalry, who, en passant, are too prone to throw their arms away. The officer of the picket declared us correct, and remarked that we should find our lines about a thousand yards from us, adding that they had been exchanging shots all day. Clear case of Treason at Washington and Elsewhere. The New York Tribune says that rumors of "a meditated pro-slavery military combination at Washington" have been rife for some days, and takes an
The loss of the steamer Loler --Further Particulars.--The loss of the Spanish steamer Loler, bound from Havana for Mobile, and the drowning of forty-two persons, has been noticed. Among the lost was Col. Sharp, of Gen. Buckner's staff, who was on special duty. Her cargo consisted of 2,000 stands of arms, 127 barrels of potash, and wines, brandies, cigars, and $50,000 worth of powder. The following is the statement of one of the men who survived: The gale commenced on Tuesday, the 26th of May, wind blowing heavy from the S. E., distant about 45 miles from Mobile Point. The gale increasing, the ship began to leak, and found it necessary to lighten ship. About 2 P. M. commenced to throw over cargo to lighten ship, and threw nearly all the cargo overboard. About 8 P. M. steam pipe bursted, and the ship fell off in the trough of the sea and began to break up. The ship broke in two just abaft the paddle-wheels. The boats were swamped in lowering them, and all in the bo
