FROM PENSACOLA.

Correspondence Of the Mobile Register
PENSACOLA, September II The frigate Col
orsdo steamed up this morning and ran close
ia shore the length OF the island, as far as we
could see Where she has gone or what her
object we know not-some think she was hunt
ing a good landing place II it should be needed;
others, that she has gone tn ApaiachicOla,
which is now being deserted by its citizens.
What a splendid opportunity 10 run the
blOckads-nO steamer on the bar, and nothing
in view but a solitary slUop-Of-waT, at anchor
three miles from the bar. The Neaie could
lea We for Mobile without any further risk than
the guns Of Fort Pickens, which would hardly
wish to provoke the fire Of McRae or BarTan-
cGB
The Fedsrals have improved Santa Rosa
island in certain localities very much. Their
wooden buildings and villages Of tents give it
quite an Arab appearance. How long are the
rascaIs to stay there?
PENSACOLA, September 12-The weather
the past few days has been insuferably warm.
Those posted in such matters think a storm
the sequence.
Yesterday afternoon the ~'frigate, which I
mentioned as having arrived the nigat pre-
vious, landed quite a number Of soldiers or
marines on the island. This morning both her
and the Colorado left their anchorage. With
er gone, we can only conjecture.
Last night a magnificent ball was given
aboard the steamer Time, by officers of the
army. The evening was bright beyond COM
Parison, and the display Of beautiful women
and giitteriUg uniforms will long occupy a
green spot ia the memory of the lovely and
brave who enjoyed themselves beneath that
September noon.
Pensacola, like other places, has its runners;
the most prominent one is, that oil Brown
waited on Gen. Bragg this morning, through
a white flag, informing him that if operations
on the steamer Fulton, now az the navy yard,
were continued he would open fire. Ramor
does not tell US, however, Gen. Bragg's reply.

An AffeIr on the Potonaac.

We find the following in the correspondence
of the New Orleans Picayuae, under date Of
the 7rh
Capt. SOURCES company Of The Washington
Artillery, which did such fac execution or The
Alb at Great Falls, passed back TO the general
encampment of the battalion, near CenteryIlle,
yesterday. All the men were well and in the
best Of spirits, and Of course full or their ad-
venture, one Of the most romantic OF the
present war. As ] have written before,
General BeauTsgaTd observed some time ago
tsat The enemy were accustomed incautiously
to approach tue opposite shores Of the PO-
tomac, aBd occasionally to pass over, to the
great alarm OF the Inhabitants on this side.
This be resolved to stop, and accordingly
requested Mai Walton To send with all speed
a detachment Of the Washington Artillery
thither. They arrived Tuesday evening, after
a forced march, and lay in ambush all night.
The next morning they observed the enemy,
struggling about Oh he opposite shore, anu
sing themselves as best they could, some were
in swimming, when they opened Ere upon them,
and such a scamperIBg over the Maryland bills
was never seen before.
A large portion of them, however, succeeded
in reaching neighboring building, over which
they raised a yellow hospital flag, when the
artillery desisted. Subsequently, however, they
opened hTe upon the aqueduct which crosses
the river near Georgetown, and it is believed
did it considerable damage. Reports to that
effect were current in the country when the ar
tilleTy left.
The country people, also, report that the
unexpected firing at the Falls created great
alarm at Washington, and many of the people
fed away, thinking their time had at last
come. And 40 wonder. The artillery fired
103 shots, in all, in nearly quick succession,
which, with those on the other end OF the
line, must have given them the impression
that an attack was being made along their
whole works,

CARUAx FERRY, September 13.-The battle
Of last Tuesday, at this mace, was By far the
greatest and seyerest vet fought in Western
Virginia. EX-Secretary Of War, Floyd, com
maHded the rebels in person, and received a
severe wound in the arm during the engage
msnt.
The rebels had accurate advice Of cur sp-
preach and exact strength, as appears from
the papers found in their camp, and had made
every preparation to resist an attack. They
bad six regiments beside their iHtrencbments,
with Artillery sweeping all approach.
During the whole engagement, lasting near
j. four hours, we brought into action only
five regiments. and OF these 5u' parts Of three
were long engaged. The rebels stationed eX-
pert ridsnen to pick officers, and fired spelter
from their cannon-a missile unknown to civ
iiiEcd warfare. Experienced military men say
the roar OF cannOnading and musketry for a
time was the heaviest they ever beard, but the
rebels fired mostly too high with their artil-
isry. Their squirrel rifles did the most sxecE-
zion. Floyd should be surrounded ana bis re-
treat TO LewisbuTg cut of.
IN immense amount Of personal property
wac found IN The rebel camp, bat only some
Fifty wagons Of lead were thought worthy Of
transportation, and in this country the whole
amount Is hardly worth ten thousand dollars.
Fears have been entertained that Floyd
might make a rapid march to Gauley Bridge,
and concentrate with Wise in an attack on
Cox, bu be is now in no condition for a fight
anywhere. He has over five hundred SICK, and
a strong detachment spent an hour and twenty
minutes carrying off his killed and wounded,
after the hsht, past the house where be had
our prisoners confined Wise has been Rkir-
mishing with Cox, and has uniformly been
beaten off with heavy loss. Cox is regarded
as perfectly safe.
Lee attacked Reynolds at Cheat Mountain
Gap yesterday. Reynolds is strongly posted
and believed able to defend htmseIf.
Floyd's Scouts are still iGfesJing the noun
taius on the opposite side Of Gauley, and
guerrilla firing is frequent on our messengers
from here to Sutton.

Afrlend has communicated 10 us the follow
ing particulars, showing the herojsm Of a
lady (mrs julia H. Waugh in Johnson coun-
ty, East Tennessee, which entities her to a
place among he bravest OF the brave:
About the 10Th OF August a mob Of about
$50 men in all, led by johnson, GraYson,
Locke, and others, Commenced their depreda-
tons and insults ia the county above named,
near the North Carolina line, hunting down
the friends Of the Confederate government,
and forcing the weak and defenssless to take
tue oath Of allegiance TO Lincoln.
A pJrtiOn-Of tbis mob, some fifty OF sixty in
number, visir ed he house OF Major McQaeen,
and demanded Of bis wife to know where he
was. She refused, at the peril of ber life, to
tell them; and after a sound G%ursing, which
they received from an old negro woman, WHO
had no respect for Lincoin's minioDs, they
left, and soon after visited The storshouse Of
Mr.. Wm. R. Waugh, who was absent at the
time. Their Captain marched bis men up and
surrounded the house, and demanded OF Mrs.
Waugh all the arms and ammunition which
her husband had. She told them her husband
was absent, and bad left her to take care Of
The store and defend the family.
They assured her that If she would quietly
surren Ter the arms, she and the family would
not be hurt. She refused 70 comply with the
demand, aud gathering an ak, placed herself
IN tue door OF the DullQtng, ana tOld Luem sue

son, about Il years of age, armed with a
double-barreled gun and pisto!-her daughter,
about Is, armed With a repeater and a knife,
and a young man who had volunteered to de-
fend the building, was also armed. They
could and would have killed a dozen or so Of
the mob il the attack hsd been made.
They endeavored to ibtimidate Mrs. W but
che defed them, and tainted them with the
sight Of a Confederate flag which they had
threatened 70 take from her but she told them
that before they took that flag they would
have to take her, and that while they were
doing that, sue would be certain to have her
prize in the shape Of a dead tory. And there
she stood, the impersonatiOn Of collected cour-
age, defying that large, angry, and desperate

Brigadier-Geners Commanding
To Col. Scion Borland, lst Regiment Arkansas CaysIrl

That the people, throughout the State, will
promptly and cheeTfully respond to this ap-
peal, I cannot and 10 not entertain d doubt
nor do deem it necessary TO add anything
further than the following brief suggestions
Of a practical character, TO enable those who
desire to contribute, to do 30 with the greatest
facility and usefulness.
IL practicable, each soldier should have two
good substantial suits Of winter clothiHg-lcss
than this will not enable him to keep clean as
well as cOmfortabie,-Dore would cucumber
MIN on the march. In addition, be shuuld have
a good overcoat, and at least one good blanket!
The shirt and drawers may be Of soft cotton !;
bat all the other articles Cot clothing, socks
and undershiTts) should be Of wool. Shoes,
coming we'll up round the ankles, are better
than boots. Two good pair are needed. let
all the articles be we'll made. The soldier has
q poor chance to mend rips and rents.
Where a lot Of clothing for the whole, OF a
part OF a company, stall be contributed in any
nsighboFhOOd frou which the Z ad to Poca-
houtas or Pittman's Ferry, goes by a route
nearer than BY Little Rock, let it Be packed up,
properly marked, forwarded al once to either
OF the former places, and delivered 60 the
qlartermaster, who will properly receipt FOR
and distribute it. All that is sent By way Of
Little Rock should be put in charge OF the
Military Board, who will duly forward it.
IhdVe one suggestion 10 make iefe1 Whtch,
it seems to me, appeals with peculiar force,
not only TO the humanity, but to the sense OF
Justice # every citizen. i IL in reference TO
those individual volunteers (and know there
are scyeral) in the several companies who left
no relations behind them. Let not those men
be nsglected. II is natural that, tn making
contributors, we should al think first of our
relations in the army, and provide first for
them. Shall those who have no relations, and
are vet defending our homes, which are not
theiT " o, 90 uncsrsd for? Justice, humanity,
d~ecsncy, forbid it! Let a supply Of clothing
be sent TO all. Lit not the modification that
be is forgotten and neglected be the portion of
any ore in our ranks. Let not the disgrace
fail upon our tate, that those VINO had least
Of their own to fight for, and were the least
selfish in volunteering, sTd were yet among
the first to volunteer, have no place in our re-
membrance, and receive no portion Of The
comfor 8 we prepare for oar defenders.
In order that may be kept Informed Of the
progress Of the work l am here to superintendI
and know when it is accomplished, the com
paBy Uffears who have been sent into the
several counties, in aid of the same, will report
to me as speedily az practicable, at this place,
the success witch has attended their efforts.
