An heroic old man. The following letter was not written for publication. It is from a soldier, and is especially interesting as describing the endurance and exploits of an old man in our cause. It is published in the Mobile Tribune: Headquarters Manigault's brigade, Missionary Ridge, Oct. 12, 1863. I presume you know Father Challon, a Catholic Priest of Mobile. Well, he has a brother, an old man of perhaps sixty years, who is a member of Capt. Hurtel's company. This old man was in Kansas when the war broke out. He immediately turned his steps homeward, and coming across a Louisiana regiment he joined it as a private. Gen. McCullough, with whom the regiment was, happened to notice this brave old man, and also seeing how cheerfully he bore the fatigues and dangers of camp and battle, offered him a staff appointment; but Mr. Challon refused it, preferring to fight as a private in the ranks until he could find some of the Mobile or Alabama troops. This was not effe

The little fellow was packed away in a box, and as soon as he was deposited at the door the street bell was rung, and the creature that had borne him there field. Desiring no such additions to his family circle, the gentleman of the house took him in for the night, and the next day he was sent to the poor house, where he is now kindly cared for by officer Pearce. The letter reads as follows: "Richmond, Va, Oct. 16, 1863. "Dear Madam: I seat myself to write you a few lines, to let you know that I have brought this child here for you to take care of, as I am not able to do so. I am a widow with two children to take care of, and I am not able to do so. The times are very hard with me at this present time. I do not like to give my child up, but I cannot help it. I hope you will take it and provide for it, as I am not able. I have one child to take care of now, and it is hard for me to have to work s

Tributes of respect. at a meeting of Co. G, 4th Va. Cavalry, held at their camp near Brandy Station, on the 26th day of October, 1863, Lieut. D. A Timberlake was called to the Chair, and Sergt. W. L. Wingfield appointed Secretary; whereupon the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, it has seemed best, in the dispensations of an all wise and just Providence, to take from us our beloved Captain, William B. Newton, who fell, shot through the brain, whilst leading most gallantly the 4th Va. Cavalry in the charge at Raccoon Ford, on the 11th October, the officers and men of his company do Resolve-- 1. That in his death our Confederacy has lost one of its most earnest, faithful, and devoted defenders, wise in counsel, gallant in the field, with the highest order of intellectual abilities and social qualities of the most winning character, he was universally respected and admired as the model of a soldier, a patriot, and a man; and so ear

Recapture of Negroes. --Some twenty-three negroes, found in arms on the river plantation of President Davis, at Hurricane, thirty miles below Vicksburg, arrived in Meridian Tuesday morning. Ten of them are the property of the President, and six belonged to his brother. They were captured by a squadron of Wirt Adams's cavalry, under command of Lieut. Harvey. The negroes fired on our troops when they approached, but fortunately inflicted no injury. What disposition will be made of them is not yet known.--Jackson Mississippian.

m 800 to 1,000. He thinks it would be quite safe to put their entire casualties at 1,000. Our guns on Lookout shelled the road to-day along which the enemy's trains and artillery were moving towards Brown's ferry, and compelled their infantry forces to change their positions more than once. Unfortunately, not more than one third of the shells, which have just been received from Richmond, exploded. The guns engaged in the artillery duel with the Moccasin batteries yesterday were not Alexander's fine parrotts as reported; they were taken up to-day, and will render the enemy's position in Lookout valley unpleasant, if nothing more. It is but proper to add, in correction of an error in my last letter, that it was only the cavalry videttes, and not Law's pickets, who were surprised the night of the 26th, when the enemy effected a landing and threw a bridge across the river at Brown's ferry. There was but one brigade of infantry (Law's) on picket at the time, and that was stru

ek country on Tuesday last week, and were engaged by the command of Col. Forrest, (a brother of Gen. Forrest,) with what result is not known. On Tuesday night Ferguson's brigade was ordered to the scene of action, and fought the raiders until Wednesday evening, with but few casualties on either side. On Wednesday and Thursday, the same force of tories and deserters made their appearance on the mountains of Marion, Winston and Walker counties, coming within ten miles of Jasper. They burned Allen's cotton factory, and destroyed much of the property of the loyal citizens — even tore up the dresses of the ladies, and broke the furniture and crockery ware at every house they visited. They camped within ten miles of Jasper on Friday night--left on Saturday morning, and appeared at Boyler's, near Davis's Stand on Monday last. They had three wagon loads of ammunition, which they were distributing among disloyal citizens. There is said to be a large number of these tories and desert

populations, their bastiles, their submission to despotic power, their surrender of the habeas corpus--all the crimes and the baseness of which they have been guilty during the war — they regard as so many titles to admiration — as so many proofs of power, patriotism, and zeal. In a word, their vanity, as Lord Brougham intimates, at once puerile and pernicious, lies at the bottom of all their enormities. It is observable that Lord Brougham, in speaking of the Yankees, uses the word Americans. Now, we protest against the use of that word in such a case as the present. The Confederates are Americans as well as the Yankees, and they have shown none of those qualities which make the very name of American a reproach from Gibraltar to Moscow. They, when they visit Europe, do not intrude upon distinguished men. They do not pry into the affairs of private persons, or get introduced to families that type may write to the newspapers about their concerns. The Yankees do this; not w

President Davis at Charleston his Address to the people. Charleston, Nov. 2. --President Davis and suite arrived here at noon by a special train from Savannah. He was received at the depot by Gen. Beauregard and staff and a committee of the Common Council, who accompanied him to the City Hall with a military escort. The turn out of the citizens was very large, and the procession was enthusiastically cheered along the route. On his arrival at the City Hall the President was introduced by Judge McGrath to Mayor Macbeth, who cordially received and welcomed him to the city. The President returned his acknowledgments, and, being introduced, addressed the people. He said his feelings had drawn him here in this hour of trial, and he desired also to confer with our commanding General, and by personal observation to acquire some of that knowledge which would enable him more fully to understand our wants and the reports submitted to him. He alluded to South Carolina'

t Martinique. The Vanderbilt is, he said, so "very much faster" than the Alabama, that if once engaged with the former he could not get away from her. Henry Ward Beecher addressed an immense audience at Exeter Hall, London, on the 20th inst., upon the interests of the North. A few expressions of dissent were drowned in the general plaudits of the vast assemblage. The London News says one of the most enthusiastic meetings ever held in London must have convinced Mr. Beecher of the truth of Earl Russell's assertion, that the great body of the English people were with the North, and cause him to return home as a messenger of peace and good will between the two countries. The London Times combats Mr. Beecher's arguments, and declares that he is not the man to convert the English people. Two divisions of Russian infantry, with several batteries of artillery, have been ordered to Poland as reinforcements to the army of the Czar. The Black Sea flotilla of Russia wa
