g Vollmer and a young man by the name of Lynch both made a rush for the colors, but Vollmer's bayonet first pierced the breast of the color-bearer, and grasping the flag he waved it over his head in triumph. At this moment he and Lynch were both shot dead, and as Vollmer fell, emulating the ardor of these chivalrous young men, Capt. J. Welby Armstrong stopped forward to capture the colors, when he also fell grasping the flag These colors are now at Gen. Pillow's office. Another. Mr. Farrer, living near Memphis, Tenns., had a son in the fight at Columbus, who was perhaps the first to meet death. His servant was with the company, and in the progress of the battle, missed his master. Looking for him, he found him cold in death. The faithful slave took his young master's musket and cartridge box, fell into the ranks and fought all day with unflinching gallantry, dealing death to many a Lincolnites.

Ky.--Incidents,&c. Below will be found some interesting extracts from Southern Journals. The Dromont battle — interesting description — horrid scenes, &c. The Columbus (Ky.) correspondent of the Memphis writing under date of Nov. 10th, communicates to that paper a most interesting description of the late battle near Columbus, from which we make the following extract: Our brigade was ordered under arms about noon — or rather, it was kept under arms all the morning, but I eath he had a cap upon his sword waving it, rallying his men. Desperate fighting — justice made out to some of the Vandals. The Avalanche has an interesting letter from a son of Bishop Otey, addressed to his father, dated Columbus, Ky., Nov. 10. The following is an extract. Our regiment fought desperately, the Colonel, though not much of a military man, behaved and fought gallantly. Our loss was some 80 or 90 killed, wounded and missing.--There was a little white boy that assiste

irst heavy charge that our columbus made upon the enemy, which, as an incident of the battle, should not go unrecorded. When the two columns came face to face, Col. Walker's regiment was immediately opposed to the 7th Iowa, and David Vollmer, of Capt. Stokes's company, belonging to Col. Walker's regiment, drawing the attention of Col. Walker's regiment, drawing the attention of a command to the stars and stripes that floated over the enemy, avowed his intention of capturing the colors or die in the attempt. The charge was made, the centre of Walker's regiment, Capt. Stokes's position facing the centre of the Iowa regiment.

driven clear under the river having got out of cartridges. For several hours General Pillow held the enemy in check with two thousand men, the enemy having seven thousand , four hundred and fifty cavalry and I don't recollect their artillery. Pillow acted with great bravery. So did Polk and Cheatham, but they were not in the fight for several hours after Pillow. Pillows escape to . Every one of his staff officers had his horse shot under him. One of them had two shot under him. One of his aids was shot through the hip, and his horse was riddled with balls. Pillow wore a splendid uniform, very conspicuous, and role the handsomest grey mare in the army. As we watched the fighting from the bluff and saw our men advance and retreat, waver and fall back, and then saw the Arkansas troops, tents on fire, and the stars and stripes advancing towards the river, and some of our men crowded down to the very water's edge, I tell you my feelings were indescribable. The scene was grand, but

And it being doubtful with some as to whether we are living in a Republic, they concluded to wait and ascertain the fact before they cast their votes either way. A Praiseworthy act. Dr. Wm. Elliott, of this city, acted a noble and self sacrificing part in and after the battle of Fort Royal, and it deserves to be noted. He accompanied the Georgia troops in an unofficial capacity, we learn, to the island, and was present ministering to the wounded throughout the action. At the time a retreat was ordered, he was engaged with four wounded men in the hospital, and had every opportunity to make his escape, but he preferred rising capture and a protracted confinement in Lincoln's dangerous, rather than desert the unfortunate. He remained with them for several days, and until the

He remained with them for several days, and until they were properly cared for, without being molested, and then, through the assistant of a negro, left the island and returned to the city.--Savannah Republican, 12th inst. Negro Fidelity. The Savannah Republican of the 12th inst., has the following paragraph: We have heretofore stated that in the retreat from Hilton Head, Captain Read was compelled to abandon two brass field pieces, and leave the horses grazing on the Island. Saturday last, a faithful negro man, the property of Mr. Pope, who resides on the Island, captured all the horses of the battery, sixteen in number, placed them in a flat, brought them to Savannah, and delivered them to the Captain.

The wounded groaned and yelled and shrieked with pain. I had opium, brandy, and water, with which I alleviated their fortune, and, poor creatures, they were exceedingly grateful. I was out till 2 o'clock that night with Col. Neely and a battalion of the 4th regiment, picking up the wounded. In the woods and in this field the deed were so thick that it required careful riding to keep from trampling their bodies. The only means I ha

derates in Rockville, Ky. The Louisville (Ky.) Journal, one of the most unscrupulous lying journals in all Lincolndale, publishes the following. On the 24th ult., the rebels in force marched into Burkesville, Cumberland county, Ky. and took possession of the town, and, as is their custom, commenced robbing and plundering the citizens. The Lebanon Kentuckian says they entered the store of a Mr. Ryan and others, helped themselves to whatever they wanted, offering to pay in worthless Tennessee money, after which they proposed to favor the citizens with a grand dress parade, which they invited all to see. About the note, however, this grand exhibition of thieves and murderers, under the name and disguise of an army, were forming, a messenger rode into town informing them of the near approach of a large body of Union troops, which produced such confusion in their ranks that they immediately took to their heels and scampered away in double quick time, leaving the citizens of Burkes

The faithful slave took his young master's musket and cartridge box, fell into the ranks and fought all day with unflinching gallantry, dealing death to many a Lincolnites. The fight at West Liberty, Ky.--a true account. The following account of the affair at West Liberty, Ky., which we take from a correspondence in the Louisville (Bowling Green) Courier, of the 9th, is from a source that we can vouch for as perfectly reliable: We detached from Prestonsburg two companies, part cavalry and part infantry, numbering about 200--Capts. May and Hunter-Capt. May being in command of the expedition. Our object was simply to establish a temporary camp at West Liberty, so as to concentrate the scattered elements of the Southern rights party through that region.--We soon heard that a force of several hundred Federals were at McCormick
