wish to sAy to you, that though tbs position j,
difficult, l am competent to it and to the enemy in
the field. l am not able at the same time to attend
to the euemy at home. 1t is a shame to the coustry
that an officer going into the field his life in his hand
solely actuaed by the desire to his country and
win for himself its good opinions with NJ other OBJ
ject, should be destroyed by system of eoEe.rts5
attacks utterly without unlatisn. Char ges are
spoken Of w el there are ne charges; explanations
where there are none to be made. What is the OBJ

familiarjze the public mind to the idea that some
thing is wrong.
AIrssdy our credit which was good, is shaken
10 consequence Of the newspaper intmatiOnS Of my

Money Is now demanded by those furnishing sup.
plies. TO defend himself now would require the
time that is necessary to and belongs to my dusy
against the enemy.
If permitted by the country, this state Of thing
will net fail to bring on disasters. But | never
would have been attacked in my capacity As an in

TOa citizen Of South Carolina, who was in the
Confederate camp at the time, We are indebted for
the following particulars Of the csnncnade
on Wednesday last between Confederate battery
and some Of the snemy's steamers:
The scene Of the engagement was at Free Stone
Point, which il few miles above Cockpit Point,
mentioned in our last Il il at the mouth of Neal

Oecoquan, and, perhaps, half that distance below
the mouth Of the OccoQuAn River. A battery had
been constructed at this point by Hampsons Lee
gion. Commencing on Friday Of thu proceeding
week, they completed it on the following Tuesday
evening. It was built under the screen Of =. pine
thcket which stood on the river bank, 30 that the
enemy were ignorant Of what was doing until
Wednesday morning, when the pines having been
cut away the night previous, the guns stood I'M
masked. About O'Clock on that moruing, one large
steamer and two small ores appeared opposite,
aud the former one Of the latter opened fra upon
our battery with shell and round shot. Nine shots
were received before the fire WAS returned from
sur side. Our battery then opened and threw eight
or nine shots at the enemy's Yessels. Three of
these from the "long Iom took effect in the large
steamer and in the smaller; and both the steam
ers seemed much crippled thereby. They all then

FARMERS BANK AT LEXINGTON. To put an end. to
all sp:culston GA the subject of the funds of the
Farmers Bank at Lexington, no, the St Louis Re
publican is authorized to state, by gentleman who
was a witness of the transaction, that, after the
surrender of the Federal troops at Lexington, the
money committed to the charge of Col. MULLEGAN,
in the intrcnchments, was taken by Gen. PRICE end
Col. MULuGAN, conveyed by their orders to the
Bank, and there in their presence counted. The
whole sum- coin and bank notes, was $3.50 geo ard
this sum- except SIS 600 in three packages of s. 900
each was received. The fifteen thousand dolla rs in
notes it conjecured stolen by Federal troops
about the time Of the surrender, and when less
strict guard was kept This idea is strengthened by
a report from Quincy, that the soldiers, or some of
them, were well supplied with Farmers Bank notes,
and were Offering them at discount. However
this may b. the main fact Of the deposit of all the
funds in bank settles the question of the soundness
of that institution, and all the ST. Louis Banks are
receiving the notes.
