We learn that a skirmish occurred Tuesday morning between our gunboats and a shore battery of the enemy, erected during the preceding night, nearly opposite to Tiptonville. On discovering that the enemy had been at work on the west bank, our gunboats got up steam early in the morning and went out to attack them. The enemy had placed three twenty-four- pounder rifle guns in position, for the purpose of cutting off our communication at Tiptonville, where the land transit across to Island to begins. The gunboats (wooden) engaged were the McRae, Lady Polk, Ivy, Pontchartrain, Livingston, and Marapas. The fight continued some two hours. The fore and hat our officers felt confident of their ability to hold the island. They have no idea of abandoning the position. By passengers on the Republic, who left Tiptonville yesterday morning, we have a confirmation of the fight between the gunboats and the enemy's battery. The damage to the Gen. Polk was not so serious as at first

The Atlanta Confederacy. produces General Tilghman's report of the attack upon Fort Henry, which had not before been published: Fort Henry, Feb. 9, 1862. Sir. Col. W. W. Mackall, A. A. General, C. S. A., Bowling Green: --Through the courtesy of Brig-Gen. U. S. Grant, commanding Federal forces, I am permitted to communicate with you in relation to the result of the action between the fort under my command, at this place, and the Federal gunboats, on yesterday. At 11 o'clock, and 40 minutes on yesterday morning, the enemy engaged the fort with seven gunboats, mounting 54 guns. I promptly returned their fire with the 11 guns from Fort Henry, bearing on the river. The action was maintained with gr

The War. The details of the great battle in Arkansas have not yet come to hand; still everything in connection with it will interest the reader, and we therefore copy the following from the Little Rock (Ark.) True Democrat, of March 18th: The battle ground extends over ten miles, and on every mile of the route are a thousand dead men. The battle was the most desperately contested of any fought during the war. Our loss in officers is reported as terrible. McCulloch, McIntosh, McRas, Slack, and others, have fallen. Braver and nobler men never died for freedom. Our forces at Boston Mountain were supposed to be in the neighborhood of thirty thousand, opposed to 34,000 Federals. The latter were western men and regulars. Among the forces of the enemy was one regiment of cavalry armed with revolving rifles and with two extra cylinders, so that they could fire 18,000 shot without re-loading. They also had Sturgis's battery manned by regulars, and said to be the best drilled

cold, freezing rain, which continued nearly all night. Some few slept through it all; but the majority of the troops gathered in shivering groups around their camp fires.--While thus waiting for the enemy's approach, they suddenly appeared in Bentonville, on our extreme left flank, taking possession of the quarters of Rector's regiment. Two of their scouts were also captured on While river, on our extreme right, indicating an attempt to flank our position. Of course they destroyed the greateprisoners, injured, and will be exchanged in a few days. The water courses being so high, and such stormy weather, has prevented the reception of late intelligence from the enemy, who is reported to be retreating. He is, it is said, now at Bentonville, and still falling back on Caseville. Our army is in fine spirit and ready for another fight. Our total loss in killed, wounded and prisoners was less than 800. The enemy's loss was between 2,000 and 3,000. We took six guns and ca

The night was intensely dark, and neither party could be seen distinctly by the other, the enemy's force is supposed to have been between 80 and 100. From Cumberland Gap. The Lynchburg Republican has intelligence from reliable source that five thousand Federal troops had crossed the Cumberland mountains at Wheeler's Gap, and were, at the latest dates, advancing on Knoxville. General Smith had succeeded in getting in the rear of the enemy with four thousand men, and we also had five or six thousand at Cumberland Gap. It was confidently believed by our informant that the whole Federal force would be killed or captured. Opinion of a leading Liverpool paper.

Among the forces of the enemy was one regiment of cavalry armed with revolving rifles and with two extra cylinders, so that they could fire 18,000 shot without re-loading. They also had Sturgis's battery manned by regulars, and said to be the best drilled and disciplined body on the continent. If, as we are led to suppose, the Federals were reinforced by the column from Kansas, the odds against us were as two to one. Our troops fought for three days and nights and more desperate fighting was never seen. Gen. Price's retreat from Springfield. We have already published the Yankee accounts of Gen. Price's retreat from Springfield into Arkansas, previous to the battle of Pea Ridge, as well as the General's official report of the affair, exposing the mendacity of the Federal commander. We now copy from a Louisiana paper a portion of a letter written by on

Our forces are nearly all in the field. We have about eighty pieces of artillery. We expect to make a stand on Boston Mountain, and have only retreated thus far on account of the scarcity of for age for the immense number of horses, and also to prevent the enemy cutting off our supplies, which they are attempting.

Grant and Commander Foots, and the officers under their command. I have the honor to remain, very respectfully, your obd't serv't. Lloyd Tilgeman, Brig. Gen. O. S. A. From the lower Potomac. The Fredericksburg Herald, of the 26th inst. says: On Wednesday night the enemy landed at Chatterton, (Col. John Taylors residence,) searched and ransacked the premises, stole all the turkeys and other poultry, attempted to seduce off the servants, and decamped.--No white male person happened to be there. They afterwards proceeded across to Eagle's Nest, robbed the house of all the candles, knives and forks, and took off Mr. Penny Grymes as a prisoner for refusing to take the oath. They declared their purpose to capture any male citizen they could reach. On Thursday night they lan

The struggle is about to begin in earnest, and must terminate between March and May. We enter this day on the first of these months. and the next few weeks will be the most important in the history of the United States that have occurred since the States wrested their independence from the grasp of George the Third. Washington's great experiment, which has worked such extraordinary results during the last three-quarters of a century, will have to pass in the next ninety days brought the severest ordeal to which it has ever been subjected. If the North cannot subjugate the South in this brief time, which is very unlikely, it is almost morally certain that the European Powers will step in and propose terms, and in merge to all parties — to the famishing operatives of England and France, as well as to the combatants themselves, the act will be real humanity.
