nd to reach the railroad; but were unable to reach the shore. The Yankees perceiving their situation, sent out from the vessel three boats, who captured the flat, and put the men in irons. The men in the flat, some fifteen in number, having no arms, no resistance was made.--The Yankees then went to the schooner Ann Smith, lying at the wharf, captured the captain, and attempted to tow the schooner out, but finding they could not succeed, they burnt her. The schooner Fanny was run up Crystal river, and succeeded in making her escape. The Federals burnt the wharves at Cedar Keys, with everything on them, including about fifty bales of cotton and about one hundred and fifty barrels of turpentine.--The captain of the schooner Ann Smith, and some civilians who were captured, were released, after two days imprisonment, on taking the oath not to bear arms against the United States.

to the apprehensive souls of Butler's Yankees. Particulars of the Cedar Keys attack. From the Savannah papers we learn that in the Federal descent upon Cedar Keys, Fla, the enemy succeeded in taking nine prisoners, belonging to the Fourth Florida Regiment. Two companies of Florida troops stationed in the vicinity immediately went down to attack the enemy and prevent their further advance. The latest advices from Cedar Keys informs us that on Wednesday last, at about 10 o'clock in the forenoon, a vessel of the Federal fleet came in sight and anchored off the harbor. About that time the schooner Stag, which was ready for sea, commenced weighin they could not succeed, they burnt her. The schooner Fanny was run up Crystal river, and succeeded in making her escape.

very circumstance are expected from the army of the United States. Official announcement of the victory. Washington, Jan. 22, 1862. --The following was received at headquarters to-night: Louisville, Jan. 22, 1862. To Major-General McClellan, Commanding United States Army: The rout of the enemy was complete. After succeeding in getting two pieces of artillery across the river and upwards of fifty wagons, they were abandoned with all the ammunition in the depot in Mill Spring. They then threw away their arms and dispersed through the mountain by ways in the direction of Monticello but are so completely demoralized that I do not believe they will make a stand short of Tennessee. The property captured on this side of the river is of great value, amounting to eight 6-pounders and two Parrott guns, with caissons filled with ammunition; about one hundred four-horses wagons, and upwards of 1,200 horses and mules, several boxes of arms which had never been open

ed. It is wholly based on a vast superiority of numbers. On this it depends for success. It seems that the Federals intend to continue menacing both Columbus and Bowling Green, and that with a force only to be resisted from our entrenchments; and that another force is to march on, if it can, to Nashville, via Scottsville and the Bowling Green and Nashville Railroad. This expedition to Nashville will be under the command of McCook.--Crittenden is to cross the Green river, and moving on Hopkinsville, threaten our line of retreat over the Memphis branch of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. They hope thus to force Hardee out of Bowling Green into the open field, or to a surrender. The plan, a sort of miniature of that of Gniesnau in Germany in 1813, is of the ablest; but it requires what Gniesnau had, a vast superiority in numbers. Some say the Federals have it, some say they have not. We can only trust in God that even this plan, the ablest, in every respect, laid down in

chosen from the army for the specific purpose. The Confederate States could thus be rendered one vast military camp of amateur soldiers, ready upon the first call to fill up the thinned ranks of the national army. We certainly have the men, and, with our present population of 8,000,000 whites, can put in the field and support an army of 800,000 men, which will only be one man out of every ten--a moderate proportion when we consider the fact that in the American Revolution some of the New England States furnished one soldier out of every six inhabitants.--What we need is organization and drill, that every man may be a soldier. Congress can set this matter on foot by an hour's legislation, and secure the result which we so much desire — an effective, well drilled, and increased national army with which to open the spring campaign and conquer a speedy peace.
