Direct from the Rebels.

The Memphis Appeal has correspond
ent at Richmond, who furnishes the follow.
ing interesting information, under date of
July 6:
Information received from Yorktown,
to day, confirms the painful rumor of the
death OF Lieut.. Colonel Dreux, of the Lou.
isiana Volunteers, one of the most accom-
plished and highly esteemed officers in the
service. 1t appears that Col. Dreux was
sent, on Thursday night last, with a small
force to perform hazardous and highly i'm.
portant service, which would have resulted
in the capture of a considerable body of the
enemy's forces. Owing to one of those I'm.
fortunate misunderstanding which seem
unavoidable, the movement was betrayed to
the enemy by the premature firing OF some
of our men, and, after hasty discharge of
their pieces, they fled and and escaped cap.
ture. Unfortunately two of their shots
took effect, killing Col. Dreux and private
of the Shreveport Grays, named Hackett, a
lawyer from Alexandria. The Yankees
escaped by resort to their usual means,
flight, but well directed volley from the
Crescent Rifles is known to have brought
down six or eight of them. The rest found
safety in their heels.
regret to have to announce, likewise,
the loss of Capt. Dick Ashby, of the Eau
quier Black Horse, whose death occurred
at Winchester on Friday, of lockjaw. The
strongest hopes were entertained of his re-
covery from the terrible wounds he received
in bis encounter with the enemy at Rom
ney, and letter which reached here Sat-
urday from Winchester, whittier he had
been removed, spoke in terms of confidence
of bis recovery; but in a postscript subse-
quently mentioned the receipt by the writer
ION the eve of closing his letter of the mel
ancholy intelligence Of poor Ashby's death!
This will be sad news to many to whom the
gallant deeds of himself and his brother
have made his name familiar as household
words" In the death of Ashby and Dreux
the Confederate Army has sustained great
loss. Two nober spirits never lived.
Information will have reached you of the
disbanding of the Ringgold Guards, Capt.
G. w. L. Crock, which occurred some days
since at Lynchburgh. Various rumors are
af1oat in regard to the causes which pro-
duc@ this unfortunate rupture, bat l can
not vouch for the truth of any of them, and
do not feel at liberty, therefore, to give
them publicity. Capt. Crook is daily
looked for here, and in expectation of his
arrival have delayed mentioning the mat.
ter until l could hear his version of the
story, which like all others has two sides.
But the matter having already found its
way to the public through the Lynchburg
press, there can no longer be any reason for
Withholding notice of it from your columns.
