n of the cannon captured on Sunday, we presume, owing to their crippled condition, but spiked them before leaving them. The following dispatch was received yesterday in this city from a member of Colonel Cammings's regiment: "The 18th Tennessee regiment captured an entire Federal regiment — the 221 Illinois. --Col. Cummings and Major Fulkerson both slightly wounded. Capts. Walker and Wille both wounded — the latter since dead.--Lieut. Gregg, of Jonesboro', and Lieut. hea, of Blountville, both wounded. Knoxville boys all safe." It appears from a statement in the Memphis Avalanche that Governor Harris, of Tennessee, was in the battle. That paper says: This is a spirit worthy of the ancient and best days of our Commonwealth. Let those who a short while since were so ready to censure Gov. Harris go and do likewise. We wonder where the Military Governor, Andy Johnson, was when the trenchant steel shimmered 'neath the April sun, and the death shot hurled in bat

interest: "We have just received by express, from Fort Graig important news. A battle was fought between the forces of Gen. Sibley and Gen. Canby on the 21st February, which resulted in the complete defeat of the latter with great loss. The particulars, as given by the courier, disclose the fact that this has been the closet contested battle of the war, and perhaps the bloodiest for the numbers engaged. "Gen. Sibley, with his command, numbering, rank and fire, 2,300 men, left Fort Thorn, 56 miles below Fort Craig, about the 18th of February, with the intention of taking the latter place. On arriving in the vicinity of Craig, he learned from some persons captured near the post that Gen. Canby was in command of the Federal forces in the fort; that he had 1,200 regular troops, 200 American volunteers, and 5,000 Mexicans — entire force near 6,400 men. Notwithstanding this superior force he boldly advanced, and on the 19th crossed the river below Craig, and making a detour of

table, they gave a whoop, and one hundred men entered and seized son-in-law, Jas. Carter, of the Stafford Cavalry, and afterwards caught J. Fraster, of the same company. From Griffin's they also got $500 in gold and silver, and all his horses; from Nat. Ford, all his silver, horses, and two negroes. They broke into J. H. Sutile's and tore up his papers and everything else.--Fortunately, he had removed nearly all his property, and sickness prevented his saving all. Our cavalry met them at Austin's run, two miles from Stafford Court-House. After they return Friday morning, three companies went to Mr. Glaescock's and shot all his sheep, hogs, oxen in the cart, hens, &c., and stole all his silver plate, groceries, flour, and even his deceased wife's breastpin and finger rings, and took every shot gun he had. They returned to St. Marysville, E. A. Hore's farm, and set his barn on fire about 10 A. M., and consumed it and the wheat, rye, &c., in it. Then burnt his fish houses — made a r

We have heard, says the Memphis Avalanche, of the 7th, said the exciting news nearer home, that a division of Price's army, under Gen. McBride, had penetrated as far as Rolls, (eighty miles from St. Louis,) which place they burned, and comp, too, that another detachment, numbering 9,000, was advancing on Springfield, with a view to capture the enemy's supplies collected there, which will doubtless be successful. Price is said to be advancing from Clarksville, and will again after Missouri with increasing force. The attack at Bay St. Louis.

from the battle of Shiloh, near Corinth.--What we gather from passengers who left Corinth on Tuesday morning is somewhat vague. The victory of the Confederates on Sunday is fully confirmed. Our troops pursued the routed Federal army to the Tennessee river, where great numbers of them were drowned endeavoring to embark upon their gunboats. One of their transports, it is said, was capsized, consigning its human freight to a watery grave. Our army slept in the enemy's tents on Sunday night. some 64,000 men, and ours 35,000. We took between 6,000 and 7,000 prisoners and all the batteries of the enemy on sunday. The fight on Monday was furious and cooperate for a time; the right wing of our army forced a whole brigade into the Tennessee river, Leesburg, but our left wing was overpowered with overwhelming numbers and had to fall back, when our whole army was ordered to retreat, without being pursued. In this retreat we lost some four pieces of artillery and all the commissary st

We wonder where the Military Governor, Andy Johnson, was when the trenchant steel shimmered 'neath the April sun, and the death shot hurled in battle on the banks of the broad Tennessee? Was he near the front of danger then as the Governor of our choice? The Atlanta Confederacy gathers the following items about the battle of Monday from a gentleman just arrived from Chattanooga: Buell's army numbered some 64,000 men, and ours 35,000. We took between 6,000 and 7,000 prisoners and all the batteries of the enemy on sunday.

She is at New Madrid under cover of the enemy's battery. It is believed the Federals are arcuting rafts or boats, upon which they hope, by the assistance and aid of this gunboat, to land their forces on the Tennessee side of the Mississippi river, below Island 10, and at or above Tiptonville, and thus capture, by their large force, our batteries on the Tennessee shore and then Island 10; and thus, at that point, to remove an impassable barrier to the dissor of their boats and transports down the Mississippi, so long as they can hold these positions. The nojacent country affords ample supplies for our forces, and, in many respects, it is a most eligible and commanding situation. The enemy can only capture our forts etc., by creasing the Mississippi below them. A small

gs while the rebels daciously cut out transports before her. Will this be pronounced another victory? The editors and correspondents can with ready ingenuity convert it into one, but the French and Englishmen, who saw with their own eyes this unparalleled affront put upon the invincible " cheese box," will tell a different story. Discretion is the better part of valor, and upon this maxim, more prudent than chivalrous the Monitor saw fit to act yesterday morning. The Yankees said in Stafford. The Fredericksburg News has a long account of the excesses committed by Sickles and his ruffians in Stafford county, a portion of which we copy: About 1,600 Yankees, with four pieces of artillery, six-pounders, each drawn by sixteen negroes, landed at Evansport on the night of April 2d, by the light of Evana's House, which they set on fire. Thursday morning they went to Capt. Graves's and took all his horses and Mr. Stonnell's. At Mrs. Powers's Sickles asked for "something to dr

Then burnt his fish houses — made a raft of some plank and floated part of their plunder to the steamers. The rest they took to Evansport. Horses which hesitated to go on board, were shot.
