A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Com
mreial, writing from Flemipgsburg, Ken
lucky, Oct. II, says:
We left the Fair ground, where we had
been since Monday night, near Maysville,
yesterday at 3 P. n, and arrived here at
and such welcome awaited Us as no SOL
diers ever had before. God bless the PEG.
pie of Flemingsburg! The whole town
turned out to greet us-houses illuminated,
haudkerchiefs waving, voices cheering-a
perfect ovation. The ladies prepared q
supper for Us with their own fair hands, and
waited on Us in every possible way to make
us comfortable and glad. We not only had
the substantials in the way of eatables, but
delicacies of every kind-fruits, sweetmeats,
cakes, etc.
Talk about Union people in Ohio, the
Kentuckians beat US all. We have seen
nothing like this since we have been in ser "
vice, and many of US are three months men
re-enlisted, and have been on duty in Vir.
GINA, Eastern and Western. No wonder
secesh wanted to hold such State, and no
wonder that we have resolved, at any cost,
to sustain such loyal and generous people.
In the morning we received the same care
and attention. The ladies We'd with each
other in bestowing upon us their smiles,
and what some of us perhaps, liked equally
we'll, their hot coffee, rolls, beefsteak, broiled
hand fried chickens, &c. Wasn't this some
for soldiers? Who wouldn't enlist to de-
feud such homes as these? This is q much
nicer town than I had supposed has an
air of comfort as we'll as business and the
country hence to Maysville is certainly the
finest have yet seen. tell you it was a
nice sight to see those beautiful ladies going
to and fro like ministering angels, as they
are-mothers and daughters-even the chill
dren-with refreshments to our jaded boys.
One such welcome and scene as this will re-
pay countless privations that may await US.
Every door was thrown open to us; every
hand was open to receive and welcome US.
Can such people perish? Never, never
We leave for Sterling in few moments
our gallant Colonel Sill having just received
orders to march there, instead of Olympic
Springs, as we had supposed. We leave
behind US here four of our men sick. They
will be in good hands. If anything special
of interest turns up, l will try, in my feeble
way, to advise you. 1t has been raining in
torrents all the morning, and still contin.

The following lie an extract from letter
written by lady of Western Virginia to
her mother, residing in Missouri
MOUNTAIN Cows, Sept. 18.-Dear moth
er: l think it is four months since heard
from you. Oh, what scenes and trials I
have passed through since. God only
knows what sufferings. Little did think
when war was declared that should see
an army pass through this wilderness world;
but so it has been, and if they had done
nothing but pass by, should not have been
much troubled. General Wise's army
passed through to Charleston, fifty miles
from here; stayed there, four or five weeks.
The Yankees nearly surrounded them; they
had to retreat. They went back to Louis
burg, one hundred miles from Charleston.
One regiment camped on our premises one
night. My house was filled with officers,
whom / lodged and fed. Glen. Wise intend
ed to have stayed here that night, but made
a mistake in giving orders. He got out of
his carriage to come in, but after raviDg
and cursing while, went on, to my great
satisfaction and relief. We fed about two
hundred of the soldiers and some of their
horses, in going down and retreating, for
which we received three dollars. Shortly,
up came the Northern army; some of them
camped at our house. They injured no one,
and were so kind. The Southern army got
reinforced by Floyd's legion so they came
rushing back. The Northern army re
treated to Gauley Bridge.
The southern army were here three or
four weeks, and, like the locusts of the east,
devoured all before them. They had go cd
deal OF cavalry, and depended on the in
habitants where they stopped to feed them.
One company of cavalry, number about
seventy, camped around my house and barn
two weeks. The army took all our oats,
nearly all the hay and corn, took good
share of the potatoes, and leveled our field
of corn to the ground. They took three of
our cattle. Never cent did we get for it.
The man that took our cattle pretended to
pay me-gave me receipt and order on
the Southern Contederacy, and took du-
plicate. Next morning l found it torn to
pieces in the yard. That showed how hon~
est he was. l cooked for squad of twenty
two weeks. They paid me very literally
in Southern Confederacy scrip, which is
worth nothing here now, as the northern
army have possession of the place. hope
they may ever keep it while l stay at least
l never want to see the southern army come
back. At one time expected to be turned
out of house and home. God only knows
what suffered-the thought of being driven
from my home, beggar in the street, with
my little children! They took my husband
prisoner 1 suppose he is in Richmond or
South Carolina. do not know where he
is, or when I shall see him again-perhaps
never.

Rebel Account OF the Battle OF SAINT,
Rosa Island.

From Vanity Fair.
The following letter which came into our
hands through source which we forbear to
disclose, was evidently written for Mem.
phis daily paper. No other journals in the
country can stand the same size and strength
of expression, and we don't think
there are any column rules out of Mem.
phis printing Office that could contain the
breadth of statement displayed by the wri.
ter of this true and reliable account of the
fight on Santa Rosa Island
1--WE attacked Old Abe Lincoln's myrmi-
dons at about Eve o'clock in the morning.
1t was complete rout they fled into the
water and up the beach to Fort Pickens,
leaving everything behind them. 1 picked
up hundred tents, eighty rounds of ammu~
milton, two sides of fresh beef, deck of
cards, four hundred and sixty thousand dol
lars in gold, rifed cannon and some silver
spoons, with my own hands, besides helping
to break into suffers tent. 1t was fun,
you'd better believe. The Federal minions
advanced, at least twenty strong, and fred a
volley at US from an open stretch of beach
where they had concealed themselves. Our
retreat was the most mastery thing ever
saw: We had one regiment of Mississippi-
ans,two companies of North Carolinians and
six of South Carolina regiment, three
halves of Louisiana brigade, Major
Swipes' battery, and Col. Whiskeypitcher's
mounted regiment, but with this mere hand
full, we executed mastery evolution at
double-quick, independent order, and soon
put mile between us and the hirelings,
who followed, yelling like devils and firing
upon our rear, the cowardly dogs! The
only thing that marred our success was
that we were compelled to leave our arms,
musical Instruments, equipage, ETC., behind,
together with those of the Federals. Unless
somebody has carried them away, however,
they are still there. We halted, after our
victorious retreat, and the men, forming in
scattered order, demanded to be taken over
to the main land, to complete the conflict.
The Federal miniOns were near our boats,
however, and the officers in command did
not think it best to approach, as they wished
to prevent any unnecessary efusion of
blood. Another body of Lincolnites came
up at this moment, upon our fank-I should
say hundred of them at the lowest esti-
mate-and opened fire upon US. General
Scott led them in person. We should have
completely annihilated them had not an un-
fortunate circumstance prevented. Colonel
Whiskypitcher's mounted column retreated,
instead of charging, and the rest of our
forces fell back to the boats, holly pursued
by the mudsills. We opposed considerable
resistance to them, however, and the
slaughter among them must have been fear.
ful. We only lost ninety men killed, hum
bred and thirty wounded, and seventy sdd
taken prisoners. I saw two Federals
wounded, myself, and there must have been
more. No doubt the mendacious journals
of the North, browbeaten by an abolition
despotism. will call this a Union victory,
but you may rely upon my statement being
goddlemitey's own truth.
