hose commands were distinct — were taking a ride, it was a greed that Col. J. would picket on the road leading to Hickman, which. however, was neglected, whether by Col. Jackson or his officers is not known. Neither was that road scouted on sunday, or that night or the next morning. The consequence was that on Monday morning the enemy came in on the Richman road, and not being fired upon, they crossed over to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, and surrounded the pickets of the 21st regiment Lieut. Sage in command. The pickets fired upon them, but without effect. As far as known, thirty-two men, including Lieut, Fitte, were captured. Firing about the cavalry camp being a usual thing, notwithstanding a general order to the contrary, no notice was taken of the firing of the pickets. About ten minutes afterwards the enemy planted their guns in sight, and within one hundred yards of Col. Jackson's headquarters, supported on either side by their cavalry, consisting of two battalions.

ained from the battery, disclosing a small island at the mouth of Chapawamsic creek, which is not discernable from the river. Several of the men went a considerable distance into the country, but there were no signs of rebel troops nor inhabitants, all of whom seem to have deserted their houses.--A quantity of shovels, pickaxes and other implements, used in the construction of earthworks, were found. Both parties of seamen subsequently returned on shore, in command of Lieut. Commanding McCrea, of the Jacob Proceeding inland, they crossed Chapawamsic creek, where they found hay cutting machines, platform scales, and other useful apparatus and implements. They set fire to the buildings, which were entirely consumed. General Hooker has been awarded the credit of removing the guns from the rebel batteries, as well as for having effected the first landing at these strongholds. The guns were removed by Lieut. Commanding Eastman, of the Yankee, on whom, as a seaman, the tas

the firing of the pickets. About ten minutes afterwards the enemy planted their guns in sight, and within one hundred yards of Col. Jackson's headquarters, supported on either side 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

The Wilmington Journal, 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 probab

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 for the Confederates. The enemy, though far out-numbering us, and well provided with arms and ammunition, has been so crippled that he will be unable to attack us without large reinforcements, whereas Price and Van Dorn can march when and where they pl

From the South Carolina coast. 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 position to attack. 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

d 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 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.

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.
