We make the subjoined extract from a letter in the Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal of Sept. 11, dated Hickman, Ky., Sept. 5th. I suppose that long before this reaches you, the telegraph will have informed you of our movements in this direction, and, also of our little semi-naval engagement of yesterday, between one of our gunboats, Capt. Hamilton's and Capt. Jackson's batteries, and two of Lincoln's practical craft, which of late, have been cruising about from below this point to Cairo and Paducah. As this incident was initiatory of what may prove a bloody conflict in this section of our military operations, and withal was somewhat interesting and exciting, I will endeavor to relate the circumstances of the fight as correctly as possible. A little after 12 o'clock yesterday, General Chestham, who has command of the forces here, received a telegraphic dispatch, from Columbus, stating that two gun-boats were below, and would, in all probability, pay us a visit before they returne

He had scarcely time to warn our gun-boats, lying just above us, before they made their appearance around the point about four miles distant. They continued to proceed down the river until within three miles of our lower battery, when they evidently began preparations to make the attack. Our

We were unfortunate in first firing heavier guns than they have, which induced them to believe that their sixteen guns were hardly sufficient to cope with a half dozen of ours. This is in accordance, however, with true Yankee bravery.
