. For three days did our little army, under the commands of Pillow, Floyd and Buckner, struggle with complete and brilliant success against tps. It was determined best to surrender. Gen. Pillow and staff, Gen. Floyd, staff, and some fifteen hundred of his men made their escape. Gmy would only match into a burning Moscow. Generals Pillow and Floyd and their staffs reached Nashville Sunday night. They are undismayearticular attention to Col. Wharton, who commanded the 1st brigade (Floyd's.)

The War. a recent Yankee view of Affairs — what is said of movements in the South, &c. The New York Herald, of the 22d inst., contains some speculations upon the recent events of the war, which probably reflect the popular sentiment of the North at this juncture of affairs, and are therefore worthy of perusal. The editorials ought to nerve every Southern man with a determination to disappoint those wild anticipations of an overwhelming triumph, and to sustain his country's cause the more readily in the face of reverses which give these Northern braggarts an opportunity of chuckling over the expected downfall of a free people. After summing the results of the late battles, it says: But the prevailing panic which our recent triumphs and the onward movements of our imposing fleets and armies have created among the rebel leaders and encampments is our greatest victory. This panic is like that of an unearthed colony of rats, scampering wildly in every direction

f the battle, by one who participated, dated Nashville, Feb. 17th, which effects some of the braggadocio Yankee letters published in the Northern journals. After giving an account of the repulse of the gunboats, and the augmentation of the Federal force on the land to 50,000 against our 14,000 men, the writer proceeds: Our Generals determined to go out of the entrenchments and drive them away, or sacrifice the life of all in their armies in the attempt. So, early on the morning of the 15th, we left our rifle pits, and attacked the enemy in his strong position, and after seven hours of the most terrific fighting, put them to flight.--We took at our charge 200 prisoners. Just here, I'll call particular attention to Col. John McCausland's Virginia regiment. He led the charge upon a battery, took it, and brought it within our breastworks; and lost, in doing so, 72 men, killed and wounded, out of 300 ! Such is the gallant spirit of old Virginia. Then, the 51st regiment, Col M

ably be, however, not less than twenty killed and fifty wounded. They lost three officers killed and eight wounded--all Captains and Lieutenants. A Southern account of Affairs in Tennessee. The Lynchburg Republican, of yesterday, which came to hand last night, contains the following account of the state of affairs in Tennessee, written by its editor, Mr. Glass, who, as our readers are aware, has been for some time past serving with the army in the West: Murfreesboro, Tenn., Feb. 17, 1862. We have fallen back to this place, 32 miles East Nashville, where General Johnston has established his headquarters, and where, I presume, he intends to make a stand against the enemy. Our scattered columns begin to come in rapidly, and in a few days we will be in good trim again. This is the Bowling Green army, and comprises, amongst others, the brigades of Gen. Breckinridge, Gen. Hardee, and Gen. Hindman. They are as brave and daring a set of fellows as ever trod the field.

ratified that their enemies did not immediately put them to death. One of them generously offered me his entire pulse of King Jeff's treasury notes, to be used for his personal convenience when he arrived at Fort Lafayette, but not being aware that such currency was received on deposit in Wall street, and for other reasons, the kind offer was declined. Capt. Johnson, of North Carolina, was one of those captured at Hatteras, and was only released from Fort Warren by exchange on the 10th of January last. He immediately rejoined what was left of his old regiment, and got in just in time to be taken again.--Some of his old friends of the 24th Massachusetts, who so carefully guarded him at Fort Warren, expressed their joy at seeing him again, to which he gruffly replied that he "Wasn't glad to see them." He can now serve out his second term, and is justly entitled to the appellation of "an old offender." The capture of C. Jennings Wise. When the Zouaves had brought back th

will soon put the enemy to a severer test. These two men are the idols of the people and the army in this section. Universal confidence is put in them, and "Old Floyd" especially is pronounced to be one of the best Generals in the field. He was the only one who marched off any respectable portion of his brigade. R. H. G. Graphic description of the battle — by a Participant. The Republican also furnishes a description of the battle, by one who participated, dated Nashville, Feb. 17th, which effects some of the braggadocio Yankee letters published in the Northern journals.
