THE EEWS-


From Jefferson Gity-we learn on the 105h
that the firing heard On the 9Th in the neigh
borhood of Upton was supposed to be be-
tween a party of rebels under Gen. Rains
and some of the Government troops, but the
report was not fully credited.
Squads of rebels, from Eve to twenty in
number, are reported By some TO be on their
way to their homes in the West, many of
them declaring that they VIII not again take
up arms against the Goyernment-that they
were badly treated by Price'sifoilowers. j
The correspondent of the St. Louis RepuB-
lean sends the following statement. The
Gen. Price mentioned is Z. L. Price, the 10y
al General ( - i ( / CsFl0O
Quite sensation was created in town last
evening by the arrival of Mrs Colonel Ellis,
from Upton. b zarer of dispatches from Gen.
Hunter and Col. Ellis. She was dressed in a
semi military riding habit and bat with "a
crimson sash thrown around her left should
er, as an, officer of the day. mounted on "a
splendid charger, and. attended by two order
lies. She had ridden forty-fire miles since
ten O'Clock, and without taking moments
rest, delivered her orders at camp, and then
waited upon Gen. Price with her dispatches,
urging forward two squadrons of Col. Ellis's
command, now here, TO rejOin the egiment
at Upton.
Col. Fritz's regiment returned last night
from the Gasconade. There never was any
ground for the apprehension oil an attack up
on Herman. lQ ~ q
The reported fight near Upton. which /
telggraphed you to-day, was probably only a
skirmish between our force there and a body
of three thousand cavalry; which it appears,
Price has detached as an army OF observation,
FOR the purpose of amusing our advancing
columns until he can make good his retreat.
They have been lowering around our army
FOR several days, but it is believed they will
not risk any general engagement.
The same correspondent, late on the
night of the 10th, sends the following dis
patch: .sszr zs -.
Ascent has just arrived here from Spring
field, and reports at headquarters that there
were only one thousand rebels at that place
The scout fell in with an old acquaintance

Secessionist, learned that Ben. McCulloch
was at Camp Jackson with only fifteen hun
dred men, waiting for reinforcents from Ar

were with Price at Lexington, and the resi-
are with Hardee. - - - -a- is7

of the 18TH.
From the Louisville Journal of Saturday
last. which we saw in the hands of q friend
here yesterday, we CLEAN the following items:
Mr.. TAYLOR, deputy clerk of the county
court of>Daviess, has been arrested on
charge of attempting to smuggle quinine into
the Confederate States, and therefor sent to
Fort Lafayette.
BEN. c. ORDERS regiment, the First in
Gen. BoYLE's brigade, is full, and viii at
once be mustered into service. The Jour-
nal does not say where it is.
Ohio has sent nine regiments of troops to
Kentucky, and two more will arrive in
few days.
Two Union regiments were to be in camp
at Olympian Springs, in Bath county, last
Wednesday.
1.-THE Thirty Seventh Ohio regiment,
lchich as composed Of Germans, left Coying-
ton, Ky, by the Central railroad, for the
interior of Kentucky, yesterday. The Sec
ond battery of artillery from Ohio left Gin
einnati for Kentucky on Thursday, taking
sixteen hundre rounds of ammunition"
John Cameron, Henry Taylor, ]. NJ. Pope,
W. Fooks, John Neall, J. w. Cameron, and
W. Watts, five of them from Harrison coun-
ty, one from Mason, and one from Nicholas,
all arrested on suspicion of not approving

that they either light or give up their arms
and equipments.

Isthe blockade Emcienta

Under this caption, The Petersburg (Va.)
Express of the l4ib inst says: I'VE have it
from most reliable source. that the splendid
Confederate States steamer Nashville. ran the
blockade of Charleston, s. c., on Friday
night last, and is now rapidly speeding her
way across the broad Atlantic. The Nash
vile is commanded By Lieutenant Robert
Pegram. native of Dinwiddie, and as gal
liant an officer as ever trod the deck of ship.
She takes out a precious freight. too, in the
persons Of the Hons. James NJ Mason and
John Slidell-the first one accredited Com
missioner to the Court of St. James, and the
latter going IN the same capacity to the
Court Of St. Cloud. James Edward Macfar
land, Esq, OF this city, goes as Private Sec
rotary to Mr.. Mason. aud the Hon George
Eustis, of New Orleans, as Secretary to Mr..
Slidell- The Nashville of course takes out
full mail, and valuable official documents
for onr Commissioners, who have been on the
Continent for many months past. She is one
of the swiftest steamers that has ever piled
in American waters, and when running be-
tween New York and Charleston as a regu-
lar mail and passenger packet no vessel was
ever enabled TO show the Nashville her stern.
We wish her and all on board speedy pas
sage and safe arrival On the shores of the Old
World- y. - r.-l-a- --a

As a specimen of tall lying we copy the
following from the St. Louis Republican of the
9Th instant:
sit is currently reported and believed here.
that Buckner has become so distrustful of the
Rentuckians under his command that he has
sent them all back to Tennessee, fearing that
they could not be induced 20 kill their faith
ers aud mothers, and that they would betray
him as he had induced them to betray their
State. If these rumOrs are true, of which l
entertain no doubt at all, Buckner will soon
be shorn of his entire strength. If he could
not rely upon the young men whom he had
seduced from their homes for the express pur-
pose of invading their native State, how can
the Southern COnfederacy rely upon Buckner
who stands in the same attitude, and who is
si1aAs - ..s,s sII Ls-Iz-..aaI-iana
whom he is SO unwilling to trust? 1 venture
to predict that as soon as Buckner can make
it profitable to do so, he will betray the Con-
federate army into the hands of General An
derson. and then justify himself by declaring
that be only entered their service to destroy
them. He went to Washington City, as it is
said, 10 get an appointment from Lincoln,
failing in which he Immediately accepted one
from JEFF Davis. His game was to get an
appointment where he could also get his paw.
aud his receiving an appointment where he
never can get any pay. is only stratagem on
his part to force the United States Govern
ment to buy him BACK. He seems to have
coveted the reputation he has won for him.
SELF and the Government shonld pursue the
even tenor of its way, and leave him alone
in his shame. To day he is scorned in Ken
lucky by every true man. 81

A RUMoR FROM MISSISSIPPI S0USD.-It was
reported in the city, says the Mobile AdVer-
tiser, 18th, last night, that the enemy had
made an attack on Pass Christian, and Occu-
pied the PlGo5 after Oa4anonodine and Smelling
it. The rumor ran that they came ever from
Ship Island in launches and fats, in strong
force. All this is said to have occurred yes
terday. The report OF it is stated to have
come in '.broken doses by the telegraph
line, from the Hannsboro' Station. at which
point if was said the great cannonading at
the Pass was distinctly heard for some hours.
The truth of these things could not be well
ascertained as communication by the Mobile
and New Orleans line was cut off. 1t was
reported that the operators discovered that a
strange hand was tinkering with the instru-
mems at Pass Christian last evening-sup-
posed to be an amateur operator who came
with the Lincoln bombar3ers.

Bread for our Soldiers.

Nothing should demand greater care and
closer attention from our Generals and other
officers in high authority, than the health of
our troops. Nothing conduces more to good
health than good bread, and per contra bad
bread must greatly injure the health.
The Government furnishes the troops with
mess pans made of sheet iron, in which the
soldier is expected to bake his bread. These
pans are so thin that the outside of the bread
is done by the time the inside is warm, and
when the inside is done, the outside is so
burned as to be unfit to eat; and besides, from
want of the necessary Ingredients to make
yeast, If it were possible for the soldier TO
use it, the bread thus cooked is heavy and
tough, and weighs upon the stomach like so
much lead
Why cannot we haves bakeries where nice
sweet light bread can be made for our
troops? The Federal army has bakeries at
Washington and Alexandria, one of which
turns out $4,000 loaves per day; and thus
the troops are daily furnished with fresh
bread. This is one great cause of the small
amount of sickness amongst them.
1t can easily be demonstrated that as a
matter of economy solely !; our soldiers should
be provided with bread instead of four
l Dbl. of -four weighing 196 pounds, will
yield in bread 230 lbs. or about 20 per cent.
increase.

An army of 10000 men win
thus consume of -four per
month. ........ -. 100000 lbs
Add 20 per cent increase in
bread and we have .. 1884, 900 I"
From which deduct amount
consumed in bread. 80. $4,000 "
And we have CA 600 lbs. saved
which at cents per Id. will
amount to $4,000
To bake this bread will require $4,000
Twenty-Five bakers at SIS per
month. .625OO

ems. 30OUU- 80 ,OO
Which deducted from the s5.
Sl920.00@ ~ es1- ~ - -
Will leave amount saved on To-
900 men one month ...... 945 90
Now when we consider there are 10000
men at the lowest estimate in the neighbor
hood of Manassas there would be saved in
month S5,670-an amount sufficient TO erect
the bakeries. After the first month, the Gov
eminent would actually save nearly $4,000
per month.
These bakeries could be established at Ma
nassas, aud from thence the bread could be
distributed to the troops. 1t would cost no
more to transport the bread than the -four, as
every Regiment has its own wagons and
could as easily haul bread as -four.
When we consider the increased good
health of our troops, which is beyond all
computation of dollars aud cents, no small
difficulties should prevent the officers to
whom this department of the army is con-
fided, from at once establishing bakeries in
sufficient numbers to supply every soldier
with good bread. We do not hesitate to ex-
press the opinion that if our troops had been
furnished with good bread instead OF the
miserable, indigestible stuff they have been
forced to substitute in its stead, the sickness
and mortality amongst them would not have
been so great, by fully one half-Lynehbmg
VIyinian.

INCIDENTS OF THE GREENBRIER FIGHT.-A
correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch re-
lates the following incidents of the Green
brier fight:
Col. Ramsey was in comm and of the piekets
and was cut off from them. after having his
horse shot from under him, and he, being
lame. was forced to take to the woods, and
was in the rear of the enemy during the bat
tie, and says he counted twenty-five wagons
full of dead and wounded that passed by
him, and that for mile the road was covered
with blood. Col Ramsey displayed great
courage with his pickets, aud they nobly sus-
tanned him in his efforts.
During a portion of the battle, the enemy
upon the right was called upon to charge
on the Georgians by the commanding officer;
but ''nary" charge could be got out of them.
The following dialogue was distinctly heard
by our troops:
The Yankee officer to Colonel.-Why in
the h--li don't you charge on them! Haven't
You heard the order?
Colonei.-Yes; but they won't do it, and
I'll be id if can. / can't carry them on
my shoulders.
- Man in the ranks.-Pay us and we will
fight .l-sE
Before the fight commenced a white flag
was placed over house containing num-
her of sick men; but, instead of humanely
keeping their shot from, they fired necessarily
at il, and one or two balls passed completely
through the building. but luckily without
hurting any one. Snch cowardly conduct
is in keeping with the miserable tool to whom
they belong.
During the cannonading, Col. Taliaferro's
horse, a very fine bay, was tied by our en-
trenchments, and the old fellow being asleep,
a bombshell bursted right over him. He
merely raised his head, looked around. and
then turned to his former position as if in
utter. contempt of the parties from whence it
came. a kitten, belonging to company OF
the 23d, during the engagement, was seen
running along the entertainments, and when
ever a ball struck near it and raised the dirt,
the little thing would jump aud gamboi
around 1t In Playful glee.
