How IN FEnT-A gentleman who was in
the action between the Q. s. steamer Rich
mOnd and Rollins feet at the Mississippi
Passes, thus describes how be felt, during
the engagement:
The man that says be felt no fear or
trembling for the FIRST few shots in an action,
you may stamp as q coward. As for myself,
never had such q sensatiOn-nothing so
terrible. After each discharge from q gun,
ali the crew, officers included, except tAe
loader, sponger and PoWderman, fall fat on
their Stomsehs, thus avoiding the shell that
may happen to strike on deck, for in burst
ing the splintsFs have tendency to hy up
ward. Il is laughable to see them all 90
down at once; but can assure you it is a
very pleasant sensation to even think one s
self out of the way of these terrible splinters.
would much perfer being shot away with
q solid ball, than to be mangled by one Of
these ugly missiles. So much for my first
sensation in battle. Although I have been
under q FIRE Of muskstTy, lin one Of our boat
expeditions, two weeks ago) yet c1n fancy
nothing comparable with the Ehizzing and
bursting Of rife shell"

One Of the refractory members Of the New
York 18th, now at TOrtugas, writes home
that thsF are building s brickl fort on the
dry Tortugss, and have already placed in po-
sitiOn ninety-tWO guns. When completed i,
viii accommodate three hundred men and
seventy guns. It has been given the name
Of Fort Jefferson. The writer states that
be never vas in better health, and has plenty
TO eat-the delicacies being cocoa nuts, lem
ons, &c. He likes his situation very much,
and had rather be dragging the guns about
the fort and wheeling sand, than be soldier
ing in Virginia.

Eos. Cox..-I notice in your paper OF the

Wildcat 70 say to you, that 2 the many ac-
counts have seen and heard Of that fight,
not one of them have told the naked trath,
and 10 make short story Of it the loss on
both sides were about equal. think, per-
hans, we had & few less killed than the rebels,
because we had the advantage OF fighting be-
hind the breastworks, but we had more
wounded somehow, and they got good
many prisoners; whether they took them, or
they went over to them voluntarily, am not
positively certain, but have the best reason
to believe they deserted us, and tell you

Tennessee and Kentucky Union men won't

Indications are that the rebels have
Withdrawn sOme.Of their troops from the

Rifle Man ufactory in New Orleans.

AAItS man uAACkOIy IN new pEicAuSs
The New Orleans Bee gives long and interesting
account Of the Enfield rife and sabre bayonet man
ufacrory established in that city by Messrs. Cook
and Brother. These enterprising manufacturers
started this establishment since the war; in the face
of the greatest discoursgements and unsided by
capitalists. By his own skill and ingenuity and
such mechanical aid as he could command, Mr..
Cook has succeeded in making the necessary ma
ehinery to turn out first class weapons. Beginning
on & small scale, his orders have SO increased and
his business has so expanded that he now occupies
a large building 140 feet square, employs 500 ope-
ratves, and very soon, according to the Bee, he will
be able to arm regiment, officers and all, every
fifteen days, equivalent to about 10000 stand of
arms year.
This enterprise ia worthy of the highest common
daton. In no other way could the protector of this
successful work so nobly serve his country and
second the great struggle our people are making
for independence. Not only is he supplying the
great desideratum of the war-efective weapons
but he is showing, by great practical example, of
what the South is capable in the way of mechanical
ingenuity and art. Such nen deserve civic
crown.

NASHVILLE THs HIRE An entertainment Of an en-
irely novel charactst is thing 50 seldom enjoyed
In Nashville, that we feel much pleasure in calling
attention to the de5ads Of the "Zouaves' on We'd
nesdzy night, at the Nashville Theatre. The
Houaves, it must be promised, are veritabe braves
Of the French army, and owe their present position
to an accident discovered before the walls of Sc
bassopol. Their piece, the Soldier Bosrder,"
was first acted in the Crimea, and during the per-
torrance the Russians, it is said, made sOrtie
which compelled actors and audience to take to
their arms. One of the former dressed in female at
tire, was killed, and others, including come
members of the present company, severe
ly wounded. Incidents of this exciting kind
brought the Theatre L'InksrEiann prominently be
fore the public and when the war terminated there
natural desire among civilians to see the men
who could thus amuse others in the face of death.
A prosperous career in France. and repetition Of
the same in London, have brought the ZJuaves to
our shores, where the name, at least is popular at
tais moment The pieces played by our French
friends of the slightest possible character, and
for that reason are eminently amusing and lsughas
bic. It's known, Of course, tAat the female parts
are played by men, but without Witnessing per-
f1rmsnee it is impossible to believe how well and
lldcrously the external characteristics of the
are mimmicked. The entertainment indeed, is of
so peculiar kind, that we feel no disposition to
indulge in critical elucdation but simply direct
the attention of the public to its abundant novelty
and agreeableness. The zouAves will play Wednes-
day NIGHT
