lly there; but the rout continued in the most perfect disorder, when Colonel P. left. It was stated that the reason why the messengers did not return sooner was, that the cavalry ran at full speed through the camp of the 21st regiment, and kept them from delivering their messages. A part of the regiment was pursued by the enemy about three miles. They rallied at Crockett's station, however, and took a train to Humboldt. The remainder reached the latter place by the Middleburg and Trenton road. Our loss was about fifty men captured, two killed, and three wounded. We saved all our arms, but lost everything else, baggage, tents, and stores — which latter were estimated to be worth about six thousand dollars. Capt Whitemore was in town when the attack was made, dressed in citizen's clothes, and witnessed the movements of the enemy. After rifling and burning the camps, they started on their return to Hickman, when he made good his escape. Later from Nashville.

The Charleston Mercury of the 3d instant, learns from a gentleman who had just arrived from the Confederate camp at Port Royal, that about one hundred Yankees, with two pieces of artillery, effected a landing at Port Royal Ferry on Tuesday morning, General Pemberton, to whom our pickets reported that the enemy were landing in force, immediately ordered his troops in pol.

The bodies of ten dead soldiers were soon removed from the places where death had overtaken them. About thirty others were wounded. More prisoners. During the past week, (says the Tallahassee Floridian, of the 29th ult.,) five of Old Abe's men, belonging to Com. Dupont's fleet, have arrived in Tallahassee and taken lodgings in the Leon jail. These men were captured by some of Captain Pickett's men, and the other three by men from different companies, under the command of Lieut Strange, who, we regret to say, was mortally wounded. In the latter capture four white men of the enemy were killed, and a contraband captured. Eater News.

place I was not so much impressed by the prodigious display of command military paraphernalia, for which I had been prepared by accounts on the road, as I was by the order and system that prevail, and the unexampled spectacle of so vast a collection of Southern soldiery without a single case of drunkenness or a symptom of the presence of that great bane of our country — whiskey. This novel exhibition is time to the admirable discipline introduced by Gen. Bragg and rigidly enforced by Brig. Gen. Gladden, who is commandant at this post. These officers deserve the eternal gratitude of the South for this great reform. Not a drop of intoxicating liquor is permitted to be sold anywhere on this line. If any is brought here, it is seized and emptied in the road. The strictest discipline is everywhere enforced, and, as a consequence, we have an army here that is an honor to the South, worthy of our cause, and which can never be beaten.

de by their cavalry, consisting of two battalions. It seems that neither Col. Pickett or Col, Jackson were aware of the presence of the enemy until their rifled twelve pounders were fired. The cavalry could not form, being at ones thrown into confusion. Col. Pickett by this time sent three messengers to Lieut-Col. Tilman, with orders to form the regiment and march down to the depot. No answer being brought him, he himself mounted and started to go to the regiment, when he was met by Major Cole, one of the messengers, and informed that the men were routed and scattered. Another officer also told him that he could not get ten men together. Colonel F. endeavored to rally the fleeing men, but, finding it useless, he ordered them to follow him into the woods and rally there; but the rout continued in the most perfect disorder, when Colonel P. left. It was stated that the reason why the messengers did not return sooner was, that the cavalry ran at full speed through the camp of

The great fight in Arkansas is now called the Battle of Sugar Creek. the latest and fullest details confirm the reports favorable to the South. A correspondent writes to the Savannah Republican on late direct information: Price's veterans acquitted themselves with the greatest possible credit; and McCulloch's followers, up to the unfortunate hour when he and McIntosh fell, fought with the most determined resolution. Col. Rives, of the Missouri Confederates, and Capt. Churchill Clark, in addition to many other officers, are numbered with our gallant dead. Among the wounded on the other side, was General. Curtis himself, who received a slight wound. Gen. Seigle was not wounded, as at first reported. Neither Price, Van Dorn, nor the army, have supposed that they were defeated. On the contrary, the result of the battle is equivalent to a victory f

rnal, of Friday last, says: We learned yesterday evening from a gentleman who had made the trial to get to Beaufort, that the enemy are all around, in Bogue Sound, on the Banks, at Carolina and Morehead cities and at Beaufort. Their object is, of course, to cut off communication with Fort Macon. Col. White, the commandant of that post, has a good garrison, provisions for full ten months, plenty of ammunition and a stout heart. Fort Macon is not taken yet. Whenever a Yankee goes from Morehead, City to Beaufort or back again, the Colonel gives them a shot. We regret to learn that even in this beleaguered host some traitors were to be found, as there was at least one serpent in Eden.--Some few men, it is said, from Capt. Pool's company, contrived to desert to the enemy. It is not probable that they can communicate any information likely to be of value to the enemy, as of course the character of the Fort, an old government work, is as well known to the enemy as to ourselves.

Col. Jones's regiment, in advance of our troops, soon came in sight of the enemy, when they retired under cover of their gunboats, without an exchange of shot on either side. Before the coming up of Col. Jones's regiment, the enemy destroyed the dwelling of Mr. Henry Stuart, at Page's Point. The gentleman also reports that three negroes, the property of Mr. P.

scape. Later from Nashville. The Memphis Appeal, of the 3d, says: We learn from parties who left Nashville as late as Saturday, that the gunboat and transports at that place had found it necessary to leave on account of the low stage of water. The army at Columbia had crossed Duck river, and had reached Mount Pleasant on Monday, on the road leading towards Savannah, where they would probably arrive today or to-morrow. McCook and Nelson were in command of the advance. Gen Buell was bringing up the rear, and had arrived at Columbia. From Island 10--official. The following information was communicated by telegraph to the commandant at Memphis, under date of April 1st, 1862: The bombardment of Madrid Bend and Island 10 commenced on the 15th instant, and continued constantly night and day.
