Avalanche: Col. R. F. Looney's command, consisting of 250 of his regiment; 200 of Col. Cook's, and 100 of Col. White's, left here on Tuesday afternoon on a scout through this and some of the adjoining counties, where it had been reported to Gen. Carroll that there were camps of Unionists. Col. Looney's command returned this evening, having captured about thirty prisoners, and breaking up sundry camps. We learn Col. L.'s regiment will leave here in a few days for Knoxville — leaving Col. Wood's Alabama regiment and Col. Cook's at this place, (Col. White's having already gone to Knoxville) The prompt and efficient means used by Gen. Carroll has, we think, effectually checked the ardor of those deluded Unionists, and hereafter there will be little trouble in this quarter from them. B. The Flight from Wild Cat. From the Nashville (Tenn.) Ranner, of the 26th ult., we extract the following: We are informed that a copy of the Cincinnati Commercial, of the 21st, whic

They soon commenced exchanging signals, and immediately after steamed in for St. Helena Ship Bar, the side wheel boat leading. They all went rapidly up to a position near Otlet Island, and fire some shell ashore, to see it they could uncover any massed batteries, and finding none, they ventured to land in their boats. Capt Dexter, of the Clinch, says their pilots are thoroughly acquainted with all the channels around, and there is but little doubt but that they are composed of men whom our Sea is land cotton and rice planters employed for years to bring their crops to market.

t the Confederate Government. The excitement had measurably died out at Chattanooga, and the rebellion in that section regarded as at an end. There is now only one trip a day over the railroad from Chattanooga to Knoxville, no train being run at night. All the freight for Virginia now goes by way of Augusta, which line now makes regular trips from Chattanooga to Atlanta. In this connection we subjoin the following letter from a well-informed correspondent: Chattanooga Nov. 23, 1861. To the Editors of the Avalanche: Col. R. F. Looney's command, consisting of 250 of his regiment; 200 of Col. Cook's, and 100 of Col.

ts result was immediate marching orders — time, double-quick. Their forced march through brake and briar, over hill and dale, day and night, sunshine and rain, is represented as almost beyond endurance. Numbers fell by the wayside, sick, exhausted, and dying. Baggage, arms, munitions of war, food, was left behind at various points, in their hurried flight.--They took time neither to eat nor sleep.--After two days of intolerable marching they succeeded in reaching a place of safety. Gen. Nelson, it is said, has withdrawn his entire brigade as unfit for active service. In some of its regiments more than three hundred men are reported on the sick list Truly, if the boastful legions of the Kentucky Falstaff quail thus early in the war, and fly before an enemy is in sight, what would they do if a few shining bayonets were to appear in actual pursuit?

I have also a little powder and lead. Big men have big ideas and want big things; and it is likely they would reject little guns like mine; but do as you think best with them. One thing I am sure of, they will shoot, and kill with the Minnie Ball, from 250 to 300 yards, and that's about as far as a Southern man wants to be from an enemy when he shoots. Bayonets can be put to them for close quarters, though I would prefer the knife. S. W. Adkisson. From Missouri — the Yankees Retreating — McCulloch in pursuit. A telegraphic dispatch from Fayetteville, Ark., November 18, to the Fort Smith Times, says: It is reported that McCulloch, with 2,000 of his best cavalry, has gone in pursuit of the enemy. They have retreated from Springfield. Price is moving his forces towards the Missouri river.

ned the water pipes immediately, so as to save the magazine. He had hardly time to knock out a bulkhead and jump into the water, before the shells in the forward and all shell-looser commenced exploding. The crew tried to throw the powder in the magazine overboard, but had not time to do so the explosion of the shells commencing in seven minutes after the flames were first discovered. The captain and all the crew escaped unhurt. The explosion of the shells set the negro quarters on Mr. Harbett's plantation on fire, besides firing the tops of trees and all combustible material. The halyards were burnt off, when the flag of the "Stars and Bars" floated off an longed in the top of a tree, and blazed out in the breeze just as it it had been placed there by design !
