THE "SHAM BATTLE OF FRIDAY LAST
Whatever movements may have taken place
on the Virginia shore of the Potomac, (says
the Baltimore News Sheet, no report of them
has been suffered to emanate from the War
Department. The official answer to all inqui-
ries on the subject is uniformly Of the same
tenor; and in the face of many rumors TO the
contrary, the public is informed that moth
ing of importance has transpired," though
the phrase is sometimes varied by the substi-
tuition of the briefer announcement that ''ali
is quiet We hear, nevertheless, from out
side sources, that this quiet has recently been
more than once rudely disturbed; that forag-
ing parties have not uniformly returned to
camp without loss; that reconnoisances in
force have met with far greater opposition
than is permitted to be recorded in the papers :;
and that SO late as Friday last what was ORR
ginally but a skirmish swelled during the
course Of the day by the accession Of fresh
combatants to the proportions Of battle in
which more than twenty thousand men were
engaged. The conflict is said to have occurred
in the neighborhood Of Pohick Church, and
the fact that it did take place reaches us from
variety of sources, each independent Of the
other, but all bearing he same general testi-
mony. As, however, the War Department
ignores entirely the rumors current in Wash
ington, and reports ''all quiet along the lines,
we must assume that the official announcement
is correct, nnquestionabe authority to the
contrary notwithstanding. There are those
who confidently expected to obtain ere this.

not yet come to hand.

THE SENTINEL

BURNING OF THE JAIL.-0n Wednesday morn
ing last, the Jail Of this county, with the ex-
ception of the walls and chimneys, was de-
stroyed by fire. About half-past three o clock
the jailor, Mr.. Lawrence Lyd dane, was aroused
by the cry of fire al the Jail, and was among
the first who reached the scene of the fire
Finding, on his arrival, that the fire haze made
too great Roadway to be checked, he imme-
diately set to work to save the inmates, num-
boring some nineteen, and, by great exertion,
succeeded in rescuing them all, without their
receiving the least injury.
A soldier, calling himself Collins, from New
Work, who had been committed to Jail on the
charge of firing the stackyard of Mr.. Ebert
Shaw, of this county, sometime during the
nigh! left the room in which he aud two other
Federal soldiers were confined, Carefully
boiling the door on the outside, to prevent
his companions from thwarting his plans,
should they awake) and went into an unoc-
cupied room, and set fire to the lower Gill OF
the window, thinking, if he could burn out
the window frame, he would then be enabled
to escape. But, before the frame was burned
sufficient to admit of his getting out, the fire
communicated to the roof, and had not one OF
his companions awoke about this time, and
give the alarm, il is more than probable the
whole of the nineteen inmates would have
persisted.
None of the prisoners escaped They were
placed in the courtroom, and guard Put
over them. On the afternoon of Wednesday
they were removed to the house in the Fair
ground, where they remained until yesterday
They were then moved back to the village,
and placed in a small log house, which had
been temporarily fixed up as a Jail. The pri-
soners, we understand, will be sent to the jail
of nm adjoining county, SO soon as Sheriff
Gloyd can make the arrangements.
We take pleasure i'll bearing testimony to the
fidelity and humanity with which our worthy
fcllow-ctizen, Laurence Lyddane, has dis
charged the highly responsible duty of iailor,
under very trying circumstances and so far
from any censure attaching to him for the fire,
we can cheerfully say, without disparagement
to others, he has been one of the most dill
gent and humane jailors the county has ever
had. Apart from the temporary ineonveni.
encc, at this particular time, we think the
county will be benefited other than injured
by the fire; for the building has been, timt
and again, condemned by successive grand
juries, and was not only insecure, but unfit
as place of security for criminals.

THE WAR NEWS.
Confederate Account of the Battle of
PiketOn,

Northern papers publish a Geographic de-
spatch giving statement of the result of a
battle at Piketon, Ky, in which the Federal
troops and took ], 900 of them prisoners. A
letter received yesterday at the War Depart
mcnt, from General Humphrey Marshall gives
quite different result. He states that the
Confederate force was 300, and the Federal
l, 800. We had one killed, four wounded
and seven reported as missing. The Federals
have 207 killed, (they were counted on the
field, l40 wounded and 200 prisoners. This
unequal loss resulted from the fact that our
men were successfully ambushed, and that
the enemy fell into the trap.-Richmond En-

Retreat of the 'sWildcat Brigade
from the Mountains of Kentucky.

The Cincinnati Enquirer of the Goth inst.
contains singularly graphic narrative of the
retreat of the "Wildcat Brigade from the
mountains Of Kentucky. The Federal troops,
by order OF General Thomas, who had learn
ed that Zollicofer was marching up from
Tennessee with strong column to form a
junction with Buckner, retraced their steps by
forced marches carrying with them all their
sick, many Of whom were removed in oppose
! ton TO the vehement protests Of the regimen
tai surgeons. For four days the march was
continued over execrable roads The Tennes-
seeans rebelled-broke out into open mutiny,
and finally became completely disorganized.
The sick, packed away in wagons and ambu-
lances to the number of seven or eight hum
dred, suffered fearfully from the incessant
rains, which saturated their blankets and
clothing, and formed pools of water about
them. Those who were previously in health,
Exhausted by fatigue and exposure, threw
themselves down by the wayside, and refused,
when called upon, to continue the march
Twenty-Five tons Of ammunition were left be-
hind at the little town of London As the
march progressed one baggage wagon was
capsized in a creek, and all the commissary
stores and baggage were lost; others, stuck
fast in the mire had to be lightened Of their
contents before they could be moved. The
provisions thrown out were left lying in the
forest. AT Rockcastle river six wagons were
lost, containing, besides commissariat stores,
over one hundred thousand rounds of ammu-
milton. Glow much more was lost, says
the writer, 81 do not know" Finally, how
ever 'the sorrowful fragments of the Wild
cat Brigade reached Crab Orchard where, at
the last accounts, they were encamped- many
of the sick being in dying state and many
of the well, threatened with serious Illness
