ery respectable man, for having free negroes bound to him. Mr. Pelletier they cowhided, also Mr. Buck. They took off everything of value they could get hold of; they broke open trunks — took jewelry, blankets, carpets, towels, everything. In fact they ransacked every house they came to, using the most abusive language to all, and the most insulting to the women. They incited the negroes to fight against their masters, telling them that in a few days they would have a line of pickets from Newbern and Swansboro'--that they would be back in 7 or 8 days with reinforcements. The robberies committed at the house of Mrs. Sanders are fully confirmed. They even stole all her gold and silver, gold and sliver plate, jewelry, gold watch, notes, title deeds, and so forth. In fact, the half of these outrages has not been told. Their only excuse, we hear of, was that Mrs. Sanders had given entertainment to a body of Confederate cavalry some time before. Skirmishing below Savannah.

8, 1862.--We had another severe battle yesterday, and have returned to this place, which I can hold easily. The army is in good spirits. The Louisiana troops behaved well. I am still untouched. G. T. Beauregard. The Yankees in Onslow county, N. C.--their True character — Atrocious outrages. The reader will find on the first page of this paper an account of the outrages of the Yankees at Elizabeth City and other places in North Carolina. We are now enabled, by the receipt of the ll with the desire for revenge, then nothing can. These are the mild-mannered saints, the pet lambs that came to revive the Union feeling in North Carolina, and make proselytes to the sway of Abe Lincoln: The enemy, in their late visit to Onslow county, brought over one regiment, one piece of artillery, and one baggage wagon — such at least seems to be the most correct account. In the neighborhood through which they passed, they committed the most unheard of depredations — carried off all <

In fact, the half of these outrages has not been told. Their only excuse, we hear of, was that Mrs. Sanders had given entertainment to a body of Confederate cavalry some time before. Skirmishing below Savannah. The Savannah Republican gives the following account of another skirmish which took place on Whitemarsh Island, below Savannah, on Tuesday: It appears that late in the afternoon the enemy landed on the island from their barges, and attempted a reconnaissance in force. They had not proceeded far before they encountered a large Confederate picket that had been sent over from the 13th Georgia. Our troops attacked them vigorously, and charged upon them, when the Yankees fell back and again took to their barges. We had a few killed and wounded on our side, and the loss of the enemy is said t

where he now is, awaiting the approach of the enemy. Now comes the great secret. The great, grand battle is yet to be fought, which will come off in the course of one, two, or three weeks. Perhaps not less than 350,000 men will be engaged in the deadly conflict. The Federals will have 200,000, and we 150,000, or more. It will be a terrible and bloody battle. The day after the battle. From an interesting letter written by the army correspondent of the Mobile Register, dated Monterey, six miles from Shiloh, April 8th, we copy the following: Neither party has showed a disposition to renew the fight this morning. We have not sought the Yankees, nor have they sought us. After scowling at each other like two exhausted pugilists, with blood-shot eyes and bruised and battered bodies, they have turned away and left the contest still undecided. The Confederates are quietly returning to their lines, and the Yankees to theirs. We have burned a good many of their tents,

amined a breast-plate that had been taken from a dead Yankee. It was made of very fine wire, woven closely together, and could resist a ball from the most powerful rifle. Although his breast was protected by this novel contrivance, his head was left exposed, and in its very centre he had received the fatal ball. Three other breast-plates were found upon the bodies of the dead. Brilliant Achievement in East Tennessee. The Petersburg Express has the following special dispatch: Knoxville, April 18.--Capt. Ashby, commanding 300 Confederate cavalry, encountered 75, Lincolnites, who were stampeding Kentucky, on yesterday, near Jackson borough, Tenn. A hand-to-hand fight ensued, which lasted for two hours. Our men succeeded in killing about 75, and taking 500 prisoners. Our loss, none killed, and about 25 wounded--none mortally. No less than 5,000 Lincolnites have left East Tennessee for Kentucky since Gov. Harris's Proclamation calling on the militia, etc.

[from the New Orleans Delta.] The following dispatch has been received from Gen. Beauregard, and kindly furnished to us for the benefit of the public: Corinth, April 8, 1862.--We had another severe battle yesterday, and have returned to this place, which I can hold easily.

ing wounds you ever looked at Most of the Yankees that I saw dead were shot through the head, and their brains had oozed out on the ground, and the groans of the wounded were awful to hear. A little before sunset, Gen. Jackson's brigade, having fired away its ammunition, was driven back and was in great danger of falling into confusion, when the General and his staff galloped into the midst of them, directed the standard bearers to hoist their flags, and calling on their men not to let Alabama (they were all Alabamians except one regiment) be ashamed of them, they rallied immediately, and charged with the bayonet.--This threw the enemy into confusion, and the cavalry dashing in upon them, entirely cut off their retreat. A whole brigade (General Prentiss's) surrendered, including the General. Sunday night we slept in Yankee tents, in a Yankee camp, and fed on Yankee luxuries. Such a splendidly provisioned Army I never heard of — pickled oysters, pig's feat, lemons, sweetmeats o
