al Leadbetter: General: I am directed by Major-General Smith to say that you will leave one regiment of your command and a sufficient number of cavalry to act as scouts and couriers to their front, and proceed with as much dispatch as possible with the remainder of your brigade to Kingston, Tenn. Arrived there, you will take possession of all the ferry-boats that can be collected and hold them subject to your orders. It is all-important that the advances to Kingston from Montgomery and Crossville shall be carefully observed and any approach of the enemy immediately reported. You will open and read all dispatches for headquarters that couriers may bring from those directions, afterward forwarding them. Besides the company of cavalry at Kingston (Lieutenant Lotspeich commanding), there is a body of 40 men near Winters' Gap, under Captain Eblen, who is instructed to watch the Montgomery road. These, with the cavalry of your command, will enable you to obtain accurate information of

the Confederate cause, afforded the remoter incitement to this step. Louisville, with its immense resources, was the immediate object of this gigantic raid, though Cincinnati was thought to be also within its purview. Crossing Aug. 24. the Tennessee at Harrison, a few miles above Chattanooga, with 36 regiments of infantry, 5 of cavalry, and 40 guns, Bragg traversed the rugged mountain ridges which hem in the Sequatchie Valley, passing through Dunlap, Aug. 27.

t-lived, however, for the Thirty-seventh immediately fired upon them and charged, routing their right wing, at the same time that the First brigade, under Col. Pattison, came into action on our right, driving the left wing of the enemy in confusion from the field, and retaking our guns. After following the enemy into the woods, about a mile beyond the battle-field, this command rested for about two hours, when we marched by your direction to a position on the main road in the direction of Crossville, where we bivou acked for the night. Among officers who all exhibited the utmost gallantry and efficiency, it is impossible to distinguish individuals. Of Lieut.-Colonel M. S. Barnes, of the Thirty-seventh, and Lieut.-Col. C. H. Frederick, of the Fifty-ninth, it is but just to say that they were cool, determined, and discharged their duties as commanding officers of their respective regiments in a manner that entitles them to the thanks of their countrymen. Both Major Chas. Black, of

t State. On the 30th of August, whilst the Federals were proceeding from Decherd and MacMinnville toward Murfreesborough and Nashville, Bragg ascended the Sequatchie as far as its sources, and going through the pass of Grassy Cove arrived at Crossville with his heads of column, where Forrest found him the next day. The detour he had thus made to the north-east had again disturbed Buell's mind, and had retarded the movement of the Union army for a day. This detour, however, had no other object which on one side afforded great facility for penetrating into the heart of Tennessee, and on the other, by extending into the eastern section of that State, enabled him to receive the supplies he needed. Bragg, having struck this turnpike at Crossville, at once proceeded westward, passed through Sparta, and, rapidly following a direction parallel to that of his adversary, had taken possession of the village of Carthage on the Cumberland, which made him master of both banks of the river.

ce more their families. Already, on the 8th of August, a Union detachment, drawn into an ambush to the north of Sparta, had been roughly handled by Dibrell's command. Having been recently reinforced, he was waiting for Minty, who was going to Crossville to command the entrance to the Sequatchie Valley and descend through it into the Tennessee Valley. Minty, who had proceeded up the right bank of the Calf-Killer River, found, about seven miles and a half above Sparta, General Dibrell, who resisted his progress during the whole of the 17th. The Confederates, having fallen back during the night, were sharply pursued. Dibrell gained Crossville, whence he was soon recalled. On the 22d, hearing the news of the simultaneous movements of the Federal armies of the Cumberland and of the Ohio, Forrest had received orders to concentrate his forces at Kingston. Some days later, as we have said, he was covering Buckner's retreat and lining with soldiers the left bank of the Tennessee from the

From the Southwest. Augusta, June 18.-- The Mobile Evening News of the 16th, says that the enemy were engaged in shelling Grand Gulf all day Tuesday. The result is unknown. A naval expedition is fitting up in New Orleans. The Mobile Tribune learns that a French vessel arrived at New Orleans with a cargo of merchandize, but sailed without breaking bulk. The Vicksburg Whig says that the Confederates one day last week rescued the New Orleans, Opelousas and Great Western Railroad, from the enemy capturing several prisoners and destroying the bridges. A private dispatch in the Atlanta Intelligencer, this morning, dated Knoxville, 16th, says that the enemy have gone back through Big Creek Gap. A large Federal force is reported to be at Pikesville and Crossville.
