l Jackson. Approaching Bath on the morning of the 4th, General Jackson directed Loring, commanding his advance, to move a regiment to the left along the mountain which commanded the town. Colonel Maney was directed to execute the order, and General Jackson reported that it was undertaken with a patriotic enthusiasm which entitles the First Tennessee regiment and its commander to special praise. Subsequently, the Seventh under Colonel Hatton, and a section of Shumaker's battery under Lieutenant Lanier, were ordered to co-operate with Maney. The troops had not advanced far before the enemy fled, leaving his baggage and stores. General Jackson was entirely successful in the expedition, though the weather was intensely cold, and snow and sleet made the roads almost impassable to wagons and teams, and very trying to the men. On the 13th of February, Anderson's brigade was ordered to Aquia creek, except the First regiment, which was ordered to Tennessee. In the organization of th

edoes successful in the Southern waters during the civil war, and demonstrated that weak maritime nations could be protected against the most powerful. The Le Contes, of Georgia, are to-day among our foremost men of science. Dr. J. Marion Sims, of South Carolina, had more reputation abroad than any other American physician. In literature, we have had such men as Marshall, Kennedy, Gayarre, Wirt, Gilmore, Simms, Hawks, Legare, Hayne, Ryan, Timrod, the Elliotts, of South Carolina, Tichnor, Lanier, Thornwell, Archibald Alexander and his sons, Addison and James W., Bledsoe, Mrs. Welby, Mrs. Terhune, &c. Brooke, of Virginia, solved the problem of deep sea sounding, which had so long baffled men of science. But the other day, General John Newton, of Virginia, was at the head of the Engineering Department of the United States. Stephen V. Benet, of Florida, is now head of the United States Ordnance Department, and Dr. Robert Murray, of Maryland, is Surgeon-General. Most of the Southern

Zouave regiment left New York on Sunday in the steamer Baltic. Previous to their departure, two stands of colors were presented to them--one by Mrs. John J. Astor, and the other by the ladies of the Astor House. It is reported that Gen. Dix and James Watson Webb are to be called to important commands. The former has accepted the command of the Home Guards, which is to be 4,000 strong, composed of citizens over forty-five years of age, each to furnish his own equipments. Winslow, Lanier & Co. have offered the Governor of Indiana the sum of twenty- five thousand dollars to aid in equipping volunteers from that State. The Sun says: A perfect good feeling appears to prevail throughout the city, and the excitement of the past week having almost entirely subsided, most persons have turned their attention to their private affairs, though ready at a moment's warning to respond to a call of the authorities, should necessity require. The number of volunteers is daily

g far in advance. We kept on in this way until we had come to Carrick's Ford of the Cheat River, where we found that our wagons had become stalled and overturned in the river, and where they had to be left at the mercy of the enemy. Lieut. Lanier's Washington Artillery and Col. Tallaferro's 23d Regiment had no sooner crossed than they were ordered to give the enemy battle, and our forces were marched in double quick time to meet the Yankees. We soon took our position, and had hardly taken it, when the advance of the enemy came upon us. Col. Tallaferro gave the command orders to fire, when Lieut. Lanier and the 23d opened on them, and for an hour raked them down has chaff, and twice they were forced to retreat; but having so many troops they were soon reinforced, not, however, until they had lost over 350 killed, and how many wounded we are unable to say. Our loss in this engagement was 14 killed and about 20 wounded.--So anxious were our troops to keep up the fire, that Co

mpanies were cut off from the Balance of the command, and made their way through the mountain no this place. The other three companies fell back upon Colonel Tallaferro's Regiment, at which point one of Capt. Shoemaker's pieces, in charge of Lieut. Lanier, was put in position, which, together with two or three of Col. Tallaferro's companies, poured a destructive fire into the enemy's ranks, and kept it up till a retreat was ordered. The cannon wagon being broken by the fall of a wounded horse, the piece was abandoned. All speak in high terms of the gallant conduct of Lieut. Lanier and men, and of Col. Tallaferro's companies. My regiment kept the rear all that night and till some time next day; while thus situated, with our wagons several miles in front, an officer had our baggage thrown out. Next morning found us in the State of Maryland, and from thence we marched us the South Branch of the Potomac to this place, the enemy being in front or rear or on our flank most of t

Not arrested. --We are gratified to learn that the statement of the arrest of Mr. Lanier of the firm of Lanier, Bros. & Co., copied from the Baltimore papers, was erroneous.--He gave us this assurance in person on Saturday. The junior partner of the firm, Mr. Selby, was arrested by General Banks' order, while on his way to Baltimore, where his family reside. This gentleman was taken to Baltimore on Thursday and imprisoned in Fort McHenry on the charge of "treason."

Baltimore Matters. --We learn from the Baltimore papers of Monday, that Mr. John W. Selby (of the firm of Lanier, Brothers &Co, of Richmond,) and Mr. John C. Norris, lately arrested by the Lincolnites, on the charge of "treason," have been released by order of Gen. Dix, who declared himself satisfied of the groundlessness of the charge against them. Mr. Samuel Brown, Sr., an enterprising citizen of Baltimore, died last Saturday, after a few hours' illness. The Federal police, on Sunday last, arrested Mr. Wm. H. Phelps, who a short time ago was working in Richmond at his trade — that of a saddle and harness maker. The charge against him is, that he participated in the affair of the 19th of April. He was admitted to bail in the sum of $1000 to appear when wanted. John Bosley has also been arrested for treason. The English gentleman who died suddenly in Baltimore on the 11th instant, was Meyrick Beaufoy Field, a brother of the British Minister of War, London, Englan

We came to anchor in Cumberland Sound at half-past 10 on the morning of the 2d, to make an examination of the channel and wait for the tide. Here I learned, from a contraband who had been picked up at sea by Com. Lanier, and from the neighboring residents on Cumberland Island, that the rebels had abandoned, in haste, the whole of the defences of Pernasdina, and were seen at that moment retreating from Amelia Island, carrying with them such of their munitions as their precipitate flight would allow. The object of carrying the whole flest through Cumberland Sound was to turn the heavy works on the south end of Cumberland and the north and of Amelia Islands; but on receiving this intelligence I detache
