THE RICH MOUNTAIN AFFAIR!

Louisville, July 16. We are advised that
Gen. Garnett's forces numbered 5000, and
the Federalists under Mcclellan amounted
to %, 900, who were advancing in three col
umns.
Morris had fanked the Confedcrates on
the North, and Mcclellan on the South,
while Rosencrants approached through the
lcentre.
Tue patriots stood their ground to the last
possible moment of safety, and the retreat
must have been admirably managed, as the
pursuers had no opportunity Of using their
small arms.
So well was the rear guarded, that, though
in retreat it was outflanked twice by the
converging columns, but twenty were killed.
At last accounts the Confederates were
retreating towards st. George. The Fede-
raIists hope that Gen. Hill, now at Oakland,
will harass the Confederates in their retreat
towards Hardy county.
It must be remembered that these troops
have kept McClellan's columns in check for
weeks.
From Missouri.

eral. Only one Federalist was killed.

New Greek village.
The Southerners attacked New Greek
Valley, but were repulsed.

PEARL MILLs.--We have seen severa
samples of -four, from the mills of Messrs
Taylor & Pearson, located on Pearl river
near Fannin, in Rankin county. This foul
is said by those who have tried it to be a.
good as the best Western brands, excep,
that it is little dark, owing to the fact that
the smut machine did not perform well
which difficulty has been remedied.
We learn that these mills are turning out
from forty to fifty barrels per day; and ouI
friends who have wheat to grind can have il
done at short notice.
There is not, we believe, any Touring
mill in this county, and that of Messrs. T.
& 2. is the most convenient one to us, and
we hope their energy and enterprise will be
rewarded by large business. We learn
they grind for sixth part of the -four.

Messrs Fitehett & Kenoyer, having sustain
ed a heavy loss at the late fire, would be
under many obligations to all persons who
owe them for burial cases, carpenters work,

Madison Guards-sword Presentation


On Monday last, at the Courthouse, the
interesting ceremony of sword presenta-
ton to Capt. w. II. Dudley, of the Madison
Guards, took place.
The sword was presented to Capt. d. by
our fellow-citizen, J. III. Cheatham, Esq.
The presentation address was made by
Franklin Smith, Esq, and responded to by
Capt. Dudley, briefly, but appropriately.
Whereupon, Elder d. E. Burns, being called
upon by Capt. d. to speak in behalf of the
Guards, delivered soul-stirring address,
calling upon the people present to contribute
their money for the benefit of this company.
which was on the eve of departure for the
seat of war in Virginia, and almost entirely
destitute of means.
We are gratified to say, that the eloquent
and fervid appeal of Mr.. Burns was respond
ed to by the meeting most literally, and the
sum of seven hundred dollars was raised for
the Guards upon the spot.
The Guards took their leave for Virginia
on the o'clock train that evening, large
concourse of people having assembled to
witness their departure, bid them GO God
speed" and cheer them on their way.
