to the town of Tappahannock, the county seat of Essex, where they anchored. Here they found no one to oppose them, save a few gallant old men and the patriotic ladies of the town. They sent a barge with some twenty men ashore, who were met by Dr. Gordon, an elderly, but influential citizen of the county, whom they assured that they de no injury to private properly, but intended to arrest every man who had been engaged in any way in the rebel service. Finding none of this class of persons upon from Essex — over which they hoisted a Union flag. This done, they perambulated about the town, stealing all the poultry and drinking all the Equor they could find, making the bars of the town contribute profusely to their appetite for Dr. Gordon waited upon the officer in command of this rabble and informed him that the Union flag which they had hoisted over the residence of Dr. Roane must be hauled down, and if he refused compliance with this demand, the ladies of the town would immed

k us upon our own soil? Prentiss.--Our people have never yet been able to bring themselves to consent to see the Union broken up. Such a thing has not entered into our calculations, and cannot. Beauregard.--The Union is already broken, and the man, woman, and child in the South will willingly parish before it shall be restored. What force have you had engaged to-day? Prentiss.--Six divisions, numbering a little over 7,000 each — the whole not amounting to more than 40,000. Gen. Grant commands, assisted by Gens. Sherman, McClernard, Huriburt, Wallace, and myself. Gen. Smith is sick, and has not been on the field. My division was the first to receive your attack, and we were not properly supported; if we had been, the day might have gone otherwise — There has been mismanagement somewhere. Had I been supported in time, we should have broken your centre at the time we stopped your advance. Beauregard.--You are mistaken, General. My order of battle was such that if

evious, and were all safely beyond Huntsville, except some few who were detailed to bring on baggage. Passengers by the Georgia railroad last night report that Huntsville has been occupied by eleven thousand Federal troops.--Two locomotives and trains of cars, loaded with troops going to reinforce Beauregard, were captured. All communication, except by way of Mobile, is cut off, if the report is true. Fight with the tories. The Knoxville Register, of Sunday last says a bush whacking fight, which lasted three days, came off last week between a detachment of Confederates under command of Col. Key, and the band of tories from Greene county, Tennessee, who have taken refuge in the mountains of the North Carolina border, and who have been occasionally sallying down into Greene, and committing outrages and Depredations upon the Southern rights men. The result of the fight was, that from fifteen to twenty-five tories were killed, and two killed and three wounded on our side.

onquer him?--There is not doubt of it with such troops, so well armed, and with such ponderous masses of artillery, and led by such experienced officers as Heintzelman, McDowell, Franklin, Sumner, Hooker, Smith, McCall, Cassy, Doubleday, and their associates, who have seen service, and such recruits from civil life as Backs, Wadsworth, Martindale, Cochrane, and others who are eager to distinguish themselves, the grand army of the Potomac, whether its nominal board be McClellan, McDowell, or Hallack, or Fremont, or the President of the United States, (Its Constitutional Commander-In-Chief,) or with concert of action, even if it have no nominal head, will know no such word as fail ! Its weight is so great that if it be but let loose and precipitated upon the foe, it will grind him to powder. In a word, the army will move, and will win. But no thanks to the "Major-General Commanding." He will go forward, because he could not help it if he were to try. I assert upon the most tru

corps, each one in line of battle. The first or front corps was led by Major-General Hardee. Immediately behind him came a full complement of artillery. A thousanoss the field, and still further impeded the operations of the day. But Gen. Hardee has encountered the enemy in front. The sun is just rising as his division d was doubtful whether we would ever allow him to get near enough to attack us. Hardee "set his squadron in the field" with great judgment, and led them most gallantlhe roar of artillery and the rattle of musketry fairly shock the earth. But on Hardee presses, backed up by Bragg and followed by Polk — each corps rolling onward like succeeding waves of the storm-lashed sea. Hardee's corps advances, but it is done slowly; for the enemy has rallied his forces, and is handling them with coolness n--the first five not seriously. Gen. Gladden, who commanded the right wing of Hardee's corps, lost his left arm; Gen. Cheatham received a ball in the shoulder, and

y torn by a shell. He tell and died soon afterwards, but not until the enemy had again given way all along the lines. He died in the arms of Col. Wm. Preston, of Kentucky, his aid and brother-in-law, and former U. S. Minister to Spain, while Gov. Harris, of Tennessee, another aid, supported his head. Thus a brave soldier and skillful officer has gone down before the red tide of battle. He fell in the very arms of victory, with our flag upraised and advancing under the mighty impetus givdney Johnston was struck no less than three times, while in the act of leading a charge upon the enemy's camp, twice in the body and once in the leg. The latter severed the femoral artery, and soon after he fell from his horse into the arms of Gov. Harris, of Tennessee, who was acting as his aid, and died upon the spot. His only words were: "My wound is mortal." His life oozed away as gently as that of an infant, and without a struggle the great General rested in his last sleep, undisturbed by

juror. Martha Pemberton was fined $10 for permitting her slave to go at large and hire himself out, contrary to law. John Denzler was tried by jury for an assault on Hannah Houck, (his sister.) The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The following named defendants, indicted for issuing notes of a less denomination than $5, severally paid to the Clerk the costs in their cases, when nolle prosequies were entered by the Attorney for the Commonwealth, viz: R. T. Reynolds, two cases; W. P. Perkins, four cases; Francis B. Hart, six cases; George I. Herring, two cases; Wm. G. Dandridge, two cases; John B. Glazebrook, two cases; A. D. Williams, two cases; T. W. Parker, two cases; Lucien Hill, two cases; R. D. Mitchell, two cases; D. Baker, Jr., nine cases; Thos. B. Starke, eleven cases. The consideration of the gaming cases will be resumed this morning. No doubt the Court or Prosecuting Attorney will soon see the propriety of trying or dismissing these petty cases.

either to move his army or move himself; either to take his columns away from the Potomac, or to yield up their lead to other hands. Will he move? I think he will, and at an early day. Where? If I know, I would not tell. Will he find the foe? I am not sure that he will soon find him in large numbers. If he meats him, will he conquer him?--There is not doubt of it with such troops, so well armed, and with such ponderous masses of artillery, and led by such experienced officers as Heintzelman, McDowell, Franklin, Sumner, Hooker, Smith, McCall, Cassy, Doubleday, and their associates, who have seen service, and such recruits from civil life as Backs, Wadsworth, Martindale, Cochrane, and others who are eager to distinguish themselves, the grand army of the Potomac, whether its nominal board be McClellan, McDowell, or Hallack, or Fremont, or the President of the United States, (Its Constitutional Commander-In-Chief,) or with concert of action, even if it have no nominal head, will
Henningsen (search for this): article 5
The ladies' gunboat. --The proposition of the ladies to collect funds for building a gunboat, has, we learn, assumed this shape, viz: That efforts shall be made to procure the names of two hundred persons who will give $1,000 each, which, with the other pledged funds, is deemed sufficient to finish the boat. The list was circulated yesterday for the first time, and we learn that Mr. Charles M. Wallace and Col. Blanton Duncan, put their names down for $1,000 each. Mrs. Judge Clopton and Mrs. Gen. Henningsen, have the list in charge, and will no doubt call upon our citizens who will thus have an opportunity of manifesting their patriotism. It is an important matter, and we hope that no wealthy citizens will hesitate about contributing from his abundance to an object at once so noble and patriotic.
