Gauley, with nothing but single ferry-boat
in the rear. to command q retreat over .

some, bat rashness il sometimes prudence,
and it: has proven emineutly SO in this In
stance.
We bold position here from which four
times our number cannot disiodge us, and are
prepared at any favorable moment to make

may depend upon It. that this Brigade will
take no step backwards, and that, if it be
properly supported, it will, together with

Among the enemy killed is Capt. Dyer. of
Ohio, who fought through the Mexican war
IN much better cause. He was gallant
officer, and was killed in q fatal effort 20 rail-
ly his men. Among the prisoners is Capt.
Shurtleft, who appears to be gentleman and
fought braveiy.
1t is astonishing how few persons are killed
and wounden in proportion to the shots fired
in battle. AS we rode through the field this
morning, the enemy's bullets could be heard
cutting through the corn and whistling by
your ears as thick as hail. and yet but few OF
our men were touched. The calculation re-
Gently made by some one, -thatit requires
seven hundred balls to kill one man, is really
true, though the calculation is not of much
to the poor iellaw who gets the

Confederate Court.

The proceedings of the District Court of
the Confederate States for the Eastern Dis
trict of Tennessee, yesterday. were not devoid
Of interest. His Honor, Judge Humphreys.
continued his remarks upon the powers of the
Judiciary, to which we referred in our last is
sue. His address was. for the most part, es-
pecially designed for the members of the legal
profession, and the learned Jurist discoursed
most elOquently upon the duties of the patriot
lawyer in times of revolution and civil COM
motion, and referred most happily to the
bright example of the honored Sir Matthew
Hale in the days of English Revolution.
By far the larger portion of the Knoxville
Bar came forward and took the oath to sup
port the Constitution and Government of the
Confederate States of America. as we'll as the
usual oath of faithfuness administered in our
Courts to all practising Attorneys. Among
the gentlemen thus sworn was Mr.. John Bax-
ter. who has beeu considered by the late Un-
ion party of East Tennessee as a prominent
leader among them, and who has been re-
garded by Southern men as one of the most
violent and ultra opponents of Southern
Rights in the State.
During the day John Brownlow, and w. A.
G.. Reed, who were in the custody of the mil
itary. were surrendered to the Marshal. when
the former, the District Attorney having no
charge of a criminal nature against him, was
fully discharged, the latter was, as we I'M
derstand, informally charged with some GRIM
inal conducti in circulating Helpers infamous
book, but upon his voluntarily making q
statement in regard to bis conduct and offer
ing to take the oath of allegiance to the Con-
federate States, he was discharged from Gus
tody upon his own recognizance for his good
behavior, after taking the following oath:
81, w. A. G. Reed, solemnly and sincerely
swear. that will truly and faithfully demesn
myself as good and true citizen of the
State of Tennessee and of the Confederate
States of America, and that will be subject
to the powers and authorities that are now
established for the good government thereof;
and that will not abet or join the enemies
of said State or of the Confederate States by
any means in any conspiracy or rebellion
whatever against the authority thereof, and
will disclose and make known to the Leg
islative, Executive or Judicial authorities of
said State or of the Confederate States all
reasonable plots or conspiracies which 1
shall know TO be made OF intended against
the same, so help me God"
The Court will meet on Monday morning In
the Circuit Court Room at the Court House,
and we are led to believe that its proceed
ings will continue to be of special interest

Accompanying the
Message of Gov. MagOfHn, of KY.
COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY,
Executive DEPARTMENT.,
Frankfort, August, 1861.

rfduhlOTS, august, 1Oo1. J
Hon. JEFFERSON DAVIS, Richmond, Va.
SIR Since the commencement of the I'M
happy difficulties yet pending in the country,
the people of Kentucky have indicated
steadfast desire and purpose to maintain
position of strict neutrality between the bel
ligerent parties. They have earnestly striyen
by their policy to avert from themselves the
calamity of war, and protect their own soil
from the presence of contending armies. Up
to this period they have enjoyed comparative
tranquility and entire domestic peace.
Recently military force has been enlisted
and quartered by the United States authori-
ties within this State. | have on this day
addressed communication and dispatched
Commissioners to the President of the United
States, urging the removal OF these troops
from the soil of Kentucky, and thus exerting
myself to carry out the will of the people in
the maintenance of neutral position. The
people of this State desire to be free from the
presence of the soldiers of either belligerent,
and to that end my efforts are now directed.
Although l have no reason to presume that
the Government of the Confederate States
contemplate, or have ever purposed any vio-
lation OF the neutral attitude thus assumed
by Kentucky, there seems to be some uneasi-
ness felt among the people of some portion of
the State, occasioned by the collection of bo-
dies of troops along their southern frontier.
In order to quiet this apprehension, and to
secure to the people their cherished object of
peace, this communication is to represent
these facts, and elicit an authoritative assu-
rance that the Government of the Confeder
ate States will continue to respect and OBJ
serve the position indicated as assumed by
Kentucky.
Very respectfully.
Your obedieut servant,
B. MAGOFFIN.

twelve to fifteen hundred killed, wounded

heavy. between seven and eight hundred

The enemy, it is thought. numbered not less
than eight or ten thousand.
The rumor is given as we received ii, leav-

ever, that it is not at all improbable that a
battle has been fought, but as to the reported
sanguinary result we entertain great doubt.

The Northern People 10 be Kept
mIsInfOrmed.

Since the inception of the revelation in theI
South, which has gradually widened and
deepened until it embraces all of the slave
States with few exceptions,-those few be-
ing retained 10 the Union chiefly through the
instrumentality of Federal bayonEfs,Et
Northern press aud leading men haze studi-
ousIy endeavored 10 keep the masses OF the
neople of the free States misinformed as to
the extent of the disafection South. They
have succeeded in creating the impression
that in all the States of the Southern Confed-
eracv, the friends of the Union have been
subjected to a reign of terror, and dragooned
into disuDionis m-that it is necessary to car
ry the war into these States for the purpose
of re-establishing freedom of speech and Of
cation, and that, hen this shall have been
done, the revolutionary States will naturally
resume their places in the Union. On this
head, Currency is daily given to the most alb
surd and ridiculous reports which are repeat
ed with industry and vehemence. The masses
who place reliance upon their newspapers
aud leaders, are thus kept in ignorance OF
the true state of things in the South, and
prevented from exercising their influence to
put stop to war that is injuring them
most seriously, and, ii kept mp several years,
will entail upon them load of taxation and
distress from which they cannot escape, and
which will Cypress generations to come after
them. In furtherance of their intentions to
deceive. they are sowing broadcast over the
United States the statement that Immediate
" after the capture of Fort Hatteras, % null
titndes of North Carolinians demonstrated
their loyalty 10 the Government by going to
the Fort and taking the oath of allegiance"
that '.Msj. Hawkins administered the oath
TO between two hundred and three hundred
in a single day" This is psltry libel upon
the people of North Carolina, as every one
will declare who correctly apprehends their
spirit and patriotism, and the determination
which exists amongst them never again to
become united under a government with
the nOn-slaveholding States of the North.
Those who gave it currency knew that it was
q ealumnious falsehood, but an object was to
be subserved by its circulation for which
falsehood was better than truth.
Let the infatuated leaders of the North
play their game out. Their dnpes will one
day see that they have been made the victims
of deception, and then they will, we do not
doubt, hold the deceivers to a strict account
ability. 1t will be too late to save them the
calamities which an unjust war against men
struggling for the inheritance of equality
and freedom left them by their sires, is sure
to bring; but it will render them wiser and
better neighbors for the future.

ton, and, If it were genuine, refused to be-
licve that it was authorized by the royal
power at Washington. Doubt also rested up.
| on other minds in the North, as they would
make US believe; but the N. Y. Times at
length ventures to inform Us that the procla.
nation was made on Fremont's "own respon-
sibility, and, at first, struck the Cabinet and
President with utter amazement but after
discussion il was unanimously decided that
the proclamation was issued just at the right
time, in the right manner, and by the right
man" Now, all this is a piece of miserable
THESE. The amazement of the President and
Cabinet was feigned. The Times would have
US believe that the thought of freeing slaves
in the progress of this war had never entered
into the mind of the usurper at Washington
before its infamy startled even the people OF
the North when they saw it boldly avowed by
the satrap of tyranny at st. Louis. Such a
proclamation amazed the President, the au-
thor of the ''irrepressible conflict" and his
prime Minister who adopted it three years
ago. These precious innocents affect "amaze-
ment" at the public avowal of the plans they
had originated and have nurtured for years,
and upon which they were placed in power
The truth is Fremont had his instructions
from them to pursue the very course he has
pursued. This assertion rests not alone on
tba OH Int
the direct testimony of the regular (by mail)
Washington correspondent of the n. Y. Post
both paper and correspondent devoted
friends of the Administration. In his letter
of Sept. 8, the Posts correspondent says:
The proclamation of General Fremont
meets with the fullest appreciation of the Gov
eminent, and indeed aOas suggested by the Var
Department. Some of the croakers profess to
fear its effect upon Kentucky, but the act
was rendered absolutely necessary to save
Missouri from rebel domination The true
men of Kentucky will not object to any pun
isnment meted out to rebels against the Fed
eral Government, who are found with arms
in their hands. Every vigorous act of the
Government or any of its Generals seems to
meet with instant favor at the hands of the
people. The Administration perceives this,
and is straining every nerve to carry the war
into the heart of the rebel country"
The ''amazement?' was all a sham and a
trick, to play upon the passions of the peo-
pie, and 10 induce the popular belief that
the Administration was forced to approve the
proclamation or dispense with the services
of one of its best Generals. But it is only
in keeping with the course of deception and
fraud which the Administration has practiced
from the outset.

The Confederate COngre ss---Hon, n.
l.. Caruthers.-m.P p. Gentry.

1t will be the duty of the next Legislature
to elect two Senators to the Confederate Con-
gress for this State. 1t is one OF the most
important duties that has ever been imposed
upon our Legislature, and much depends up
on their action in this matter. There has
never been time in the history of our State
when it was so vitality important that the
very ablest, truest and best men should be
sent to our national councils. In olden times
we were divided into parties, and any of the
many prominent men of either of them could
discharge acceptably the duties of Represen-
tatiye but now we have but one party-THE
PARTY OF THE COUNTRY. We are one
people. We are just building up new Gov
eminent, and it is essentially aud vitality i'm
portant that we should select as our Sena-
tors and Representatives the very best men
in the State.
For QUE of the Senators we are for the pre-
sent able and distinguished Representative
in the Confederate Congress from the Leba-
non District, Hon. ROBERT l.. CARUTHERs,
late one of the distinguished Judges of our
Supreme Court. Judge Caruthers is one of
the ablest and most illustriOus and trustwor-
thy sons of Tennessee. He is eminently
qualified in every particular, for the position.
He is one of the first Statesmen in our State,
and in the Senate would nObly and faithfully
represent our gallant commonwealth with
credit TO the State and the Confederacy. He
is a REPRESENTATIVE MAN of the times; and
would do much to elevate the standard of
our government ana stamp upon its noble
system, the impress of his lofty talents sound
conservative craftsmanship and many high
virtues rs an upright Christian and noble
hearted Philanthropist. At this particular
time, under ell the circumstances, we regard
him as "the man for the place. He is well
and fayorably known throughout Tennessee
and the nation. He has filled many posi-
tions of honor and trust, and has always ably
acquitted himself wherever placed, aud shed
luslre upon the position. For the honor and
dearest interests of our State and the good of
the Confederacy, we hope sincerely he may
be chosen as one Of our Senators.
Hon. IL. p. GENTRY, OF Bedford County, is
our next choice, to serve with Hon. Il. L.
Caruthers 10 the Senate Of the Confederate
States. He has the nerve to strike and the
courage to go forward, and his indomitable
energy. peerless eloquence and unwavering
dezoIion TO the South and all those engaged
in her defence, is guarantee enough for US that
in him Tennessee and her sister Southern
States will find an able and efficient repre-
sentative. He would do honor TO any posi-
ton within the gift of any people in any
State. Col. Gentry has served long IN the
councils of the nation, and has ever borne
himself as a gentleman and Statesman. May
our Legislature have she wisdom and patri-
otism to elect such men as Caruthers and
Gentry to represent us in the council halls OF
the nation.-SheityUil< Exposition.

Advances of Southern Forces upon
Columbus, KY.

General PILLow, having returned from
Missouri, took charge of the confederate
forces at Union City, and being Joined by
portion of his command from Missouri, on
yesterday advanced upon Columbus, KY,
which place he occupied without resistance.
The Federal troops had taken their stand OPP
posite, on the west bank of the river, few
days since, apparently with the design OF
terrifying themselves there, but are under
stood to have moved higher UP in the direc-
ton of Norfolk, No.
The number of troops under Gen. Pillow
we, of course, do not deem it prudent to men,
ton; but the mere fact of his advance, we
think proper to publish now, instead of copy
ing the same intelligence from the Cincinnati
or ST. Louis papers, which welmay receive on
to morrow.
Hickman is also in possession of our forces
IA sufficiently large command being there
for all practical purposes. We presume these
two places will be speedily fortified with the
view OF holding them until the termination of
the war, or until they cease to be points OF
strategic importance.-lAemphis Appeal, Sept g.

There are many reckless men who wish to
monopoiize the smuggling business, for
which there are great facilities. and these are
continually going with complaints to the
commander at Cairo, and other places
where good bargains may be hsd-of bad
usage from S-cessionists. the better to impose
upon the Federal port offer, who generally
listens willingly. and gives a per NIT to the
poor prosecuted Urion man from Paducah to
ship as much bacon, whisky, and cpffee he
can buy. Thus their loyalty has been. turned
into merchandise, and paid we'll up to this
time. And. as general thing. those that
have complained the most have made the
most by it.
