GEN. JAcKsoN.-In a speech at New York,
last Thursday, the historian Bancroft brought
out the following pertinent "reminiscences OF
Gen. Jackson
"If the President has any doubt under the
terrible conflict into which he has been
brought, let him have the words of one of his
predecessors. Alien null,hcatop raised itself
in South Carolina. Andrew jackson, in the
watches of the night, as he sat alone finishing
that proclamation, sent the last words of it to
Livingston, his bosom friend and best adviser.
He sent it with these words; have had the
letter in my own hands. handed to me by the
only surviving child of Mr.. Livingston. know
the letter which now read is copy:
DEAR SIR: ! submit the above as the conclu
sion of the proclamation, for your amendment
and revision. Let ii receive your best flight of
elUquenCe to strike to the heart and speak to
the feelings of my deluded coLntrymen Of South
Carolina. The Union must be preserved, with
out blood If this be possible; but 1t must be
preserved at all hazards and at any price.
Yours, with high regard,
ANDREW JACKSON.

Now, has any new phantom risen up 10 turn

such has, II must give way. Listen to the

The recent Mumfordsville, Ky, engage

numbers, proves the most brilliant Federal
victory yet achieved. Four companies of
about three hundred and fifty men of Col.
Walhcks' regiment, led by one Lieutenant
Colonel, drove back over 5000 rebels, caval-
cy, artillery and infantry. They were first
attacked by regiment of Texan Cavalry,
which they repulsed and followed, when
they were drawn into ambush and fred at
from all sides by the rebel infantry. The
Federal troops returned the fire courageously
and stood their ground until the rebels fell
back, leaving all their dead and most of
their wounded on the field Gen. Buell's

The skirmish yesterday was a slight affair.
Two companies Of the Goth New York Regi-
ment started from Newport News at O'Clock
An, and proceeded to New Market Bridge,
to look for a man that was lost in the woods
the day before. While near the Bridge they
found themselves surrounded by rebel cavalry
and infantry, numbering 700 mon but they
succeeded in cutting their way out without
loss
Reiniorcements were sent for to camp Ham
ilton and the remainder of the regiment was
sent forward. The naval brigade, Colonel
Wardrop, was also under arms and pro-
ceeded as far as Hampton Bridge. Four
companies of cavalry were also ordered out.
but their services were not required. Six
men of the Goth New York were slightly
wounded. Ten of the enemy are known to
be killed and a number wounded.
The barque Island City arrived last night
from Boston with 259 prisoners of war, re-
leased from Fort Warren, who will be ex.,
changed for an equal number now held at
Richmond. They were taken to Craney Isl
and this afternoon under flag of truce
The Richmond prisoners are expected here
in day or two.
