m the Nashville Banner, of the 9th inst.: Our dispatches from Richmond frequently make mention of General Ben McCalloch as being still in that city. By thus placing himself, or allowing himself to be placed, in an equivocal position, General McCulloch is doing serious injury to his fine and merited reputation as a gallant soldier. The West and his men call upon him. There should he be found. The gay saloons and drawing-rooms of a brilliant capital are not the proper places for a ranger, when the camp is astir with the trump of war and his men are eager for his presence. Gen. McCulloch should take better care of his fair good name and fame. Another Yankee Weeckly. The Newbern (N. C.) Progress, of the 7th inst., says: We received the pleasing intelligence yesterday that another Yankee steamer had gone ashore opposite Swansboro' or Cedar Point on Sunday night. We have not heard the particulars about it yet but may be able to give something more in our next, as M

Federal dispatch from Camp Hollows, Ark, Feb. 24, says: Our army is waiting for supplies, and will not be likely to move for ten or twelve days. Price and McCulloch are beyond the Boston Mountains. Our troops took possession of Fayetteville at eleven o'clock yesterday morning. The ruins of the town were smoking when the troops entered. The rebels are badly demoralized.

Congressman Ely rode over into Virginia from Washington the other day, but kept within a respectful distance from the outside lines. According to the Louisville Journal, (not very good authority,) Gen. Buckner expressed the opinion unreservedly that "he owed his captivity to the folly of Gen. Pillow." The shelling of Bowling Green by the Federals, resulted in the killing of five persons-- two ladies, a child, and two negro men. Brave Yankees! Frank Bracken, a nephew of Gen. McCulloch, employed in the transportation department at Memphis, was accidentally killed by a fall on the 20th ult. in that city. Frank Torrence, a tent-maker, was shot dead in Memphis on the 19th ult by a barkeeper named Prosberry. Paul Gentil has been arrested in Memphis for a murder committed in New Orleans seven years ago. The Memphis Appeal states positively that Columbus is not to be evacuated, and will not be, unless at the point of the bayonet. The New York journals sub

An express rider who came in last night, of safety; he would continue to fall back, as necessity might require, until reinforced by General McCulloch. Orders were sent from here last night to all the regiments of the first brigade of GGen. McCulloch's division, to march immediately to the assistance of Gen. Price. Later.--Dispatches, this morning, say that Price is still falling back, and had reached Keatsville, four miles fromommand, or a portion of it, has fallen back to the Arkansas line, and effected a junction with McCulloch.

ho were mostly armed with shotguns and rifles, charged the enemy again and again, ubbing their guns and driving them back from their first position. The enemy had taken a second and stronger position. When it became known to his troops that Gen. McCulloch had fallen, they were frantic with rage, fighting like demons, charging and putting to fight five times their number. Fearful that McCulloch's troops would be disorganized, Van-Dorn deemed it advisable to withdraw. He renewed the attackMcCulloch's troops would be disorganized, Van-Dorn deemed it advisable to withdraw. He renewed the attack next day, and retired in splendid order, under of his artillery. The Confederates attacked the enemy on them. Prisoners report the Federal loss at six thousand. McIn and Herbert fell early, at the head of their commands. Van-Dorn is reported to have said in his dispatch that he was not whipped, and could not be with reinforcements. We devoutly hope that they reached him in time to annihilate the Hessian force.

hey were saluted with about one hundred and fifty shot — in fact, during the entire morning the booming of great guns were heard from all parts of the city. The enemy have now very formidable works on the river; not only by reason of the number of their guns, but of their range. Seventeen guns have been mounted in batteries, and the passage of the river is an impossibility for any other than an iron clad battery. The success of the Merrimack, or rather Virginia, (a better hame than that stream from which so much of Yankee fifth flows into the ocean of Northern life,) has set all the people astir; but time will be required to effect anything of value. We are very anxious to have full accounts of the battle in Arkansas. The loss of McCulloch and McIntosh is greatly deplored.--McIntosh — a name familiar to Georgians — is well known here, and his worth appreciated. May Van-Horn never cease his pursuit till the foe has been finally compelled to lay down his arms. Mercu
