explanation of his inhuman course; he being so drunk, only made me an idiotic reply. I then looked round for some other officer, and discovered Capt. Buford, Gen. Wheeler's A. A. General, in whom I recognized an old acquaintance. I appealed to him ; he was powerless, from the fact that the whole gang were drunk. He, however, reported the facts to Gen. Wheeler, who authorized him to parole the Hastings on condition that she carry no more supplies for the Federal Government. I accepted the parole. I then took on board the wounded off of the steamer Trio, also from the steamer Parthenia, and had succeeded in obtaining permission to pass on, when they foght under you, and only ceased when borne from the field, I demanded other terms. I told him I would not move a soul from the boat, etc. All this was reported to Wheeler (at least they said so) and he ordered that I should be held personally responsible for the burning of their cotton on reaching Louisville, under penalty of my re

Had we been here before General Wheeler, he would not have made the attack, but most probably bel prisoners estimate it as high as eight thousand--under Wheeler and Forrest; the former said to have lately been made a Maerously wounded. Woodward is also said to be wounded. Gen. Wheeler was at first reported killed, but the body proved to bes. Although I think this is the last attempt Forrest or Wheeler will make in this vicinity, it is to be regretted that we and wide firing of the foe. About the last of January, Gen.

ater than the Chinese had performed on the Peiho. Yet the whole Confederacy threw up its hat, wept, danced, chuckled, and shouted as if Leonidas and Thermopylae had been found again. The event was great in that it dissipated in a moment the gunboat panic. Since then gunboats have been regarded with such indifference that the gentlemen who are acting during Mr. Mallory's permanent nap have discarded navies altogether, and turned over all marine operations to a wild Tennessee cavalry under Wheeler, mounted on scraggy ponies. The horse-marine system has answered admirably till now. But of late a new terror has turned up. The telegraph brings us tidings of something which is tremblingly described as a Turreted monster. Gunboats are deemed not more dangerous than dug-outs, but when the case is altered to an interview with a Turreted monster, then the brave defenders of the Father of Waters can do nothing better than make two-forty toward the mountains. The reported fate of the In

They hacefully famous occasion. In addition to Morgan's force here was the redoubtable Major-General Wheeler, with a brigade from his division — Wheeler, entirely recovered from the effects of the thrashiWheeler, entirely recovered from the effects of the thrashing which Dan McCook gave him in January, and flush from the big haul which he and Van Dorn made at Thompson's Station. Still more, these worthies had three regiments of Tennessee mounted infantry toColonel, as some of our regular friends would say, attempt to make battle against Major-General Wheeler and Brigadier-General John Morgan, the two most notorious bandits on the continent, with eleven without a struggle or a groan. Thus are two of the mock heroes of the rebellion, Morgan and Wheeler, for the present effectually played out. Pretty well done for one thousand three hundred green

A.G.: sir: I have the honor to submit the following official report of the operations of my corps in the battles on Stone River in front of Murfreesboro. One of my brigades, that of Gen. Maney, was on outpost duty in front of Stewart's Creek, and, with a cavalry brigade under Gen. Wheeler, was held in observation. The enemy made a general forward movement on the twenty-sixth in their immediate front, and they were ordered to retire slowly upon the line of battle which the General Commanding had decided to adopt on Stone River, a short distance from Murfreesboro. On the evening of the twenty-eighth my brigade struck their tents and retired their baggage-trains to the rear, and on the morning of the twenty-ninth they were placed in line of battle. As the brigades composing

ccount. Franklin, Tenn., March 28, 1863. the cavalry engagement between our forces, under General Green Clay Smith, and the rebels under Cols. Stearns and Wheeler and Gen. Forrest, near Franklin, Tenn., deserved more than a passing notice. Considering the disparity of the numbers on each side, and the complete success of oboys, who were now crazy with excitement. Here another road came in, and in that road appeared a rebel force of two thousand five hundred rebel cavalry, under Col. Wheeler. They consisted, in part, of Texan Rangers, mounted on red, white, gray, and speckled horses and mules, and yelling like devils. Here was a fix. Flanked for ently checked the advance of the overwhelming hosts. The Second Michigan, with their Colt's rifles, had to fire three successive volleys in one furious charge of Wheeler's motley crew, before they turned tail. The powder from the last discharge flashed in the faces of the rebel horses, and they turned and fled. This rear line wo
