The Tide CHANGED.

From the accounts which we published
Saturday, and which are confirmed by later
intelligence in this mornings paper. it will
be seen that victory has once more perched
upon our banners, and, that too, in section
in which we have hitherto experienced MOTH
ing but defeat and disaster. If Gen. Jack
sons victory is as decisive as is represented.
and be will follow up his advantage with en-
ergy, the Northwest will be redeemed from
the polluting tread of the abolition vandals,
who for months have desecrated it's soil. The
tide has changed, and Unexpectedly, and we
trust that victory will continue to follow vic.
tory, until the whole West and Northwest
shall be freed from Hessian soldiers and do
nestle traitors.
All honor to Jackson and his noble band
The first to stem the torrent of defeat in that
section, they will be gratefully remembered
by their country, while their glorious victory
will revive the dropping spirits of the true
men of the Northwest, who have been so long
kept down by the iron hand of the oppressor,
and will encourage them to aid in expelling
the invaders of their homes and the Gespoil-
ers of their firesides.-Lynch6vy Republican

WISGARD's SOUTHERN DEFENDER. = We
had the satisfaction, day or two since, of
looking at drawing of this singular and
terrible weapon, which it is designed will do
as much execution in battle as a whole bri
gade of infantry. Upon inspection of the
model, but little doubt can be entertained of
its success, and the general surprise is great
that no one ever thought of it before. IL is a
Colts revolver On large scale. 1t has nine
barrels and cylinder calculated for five or
six hundred shots. 1t works by hand. and
two persons can work it in action. With
two men, continual stream of lead can be
poured upon an enemy, which would prove
more effective than the fire of even a brigade
of infantry. The inventor informed US that
he is now having one of these guns made,
and if he can raise few hundred dollars On
~, will have one in operation in week or
ten days. 1t would be strange, indeed, if he
cannot raise this small amount, especially
when the results promised are so grand. If
10 other way can be devised, the Council
ought to appropriate the amount from the
SUN set aside for terrifying the city-for a
gun that can fire $50 two ounce balls upon
an enemy in each minute, would prove of
vast service, perhaps more than fortress

ATaIrs AT Paducah.

Our spies at Columbus have recently been
Investigating the approaches to Paducah. and
the result is that the I.incolnites are engaged
in strongly terrifying that place. A ditch
twenty feet wide and fifteen feet deep has
been made entirely around the land portion
of the city. The Notifications are not yet
completed. and it is self-evident that the
longer an attack upon the place is delayed
the more lives will have to be sacrificed
Fifteen thousand Liucolnites now garrison
the place.
From gentlemen who have just arrived
from Columbus we learn that an important
movement is about being made, but whether
the intention is to attack Paducah remains

First Brush in Kentucky.

We learned last evening from source en-
titled to credit that hot skirmish had taken
place near Nolin Bridge. Twenty seven men
of Capt. Morgan's company of the Confede-
rates came in contact with eighty men of the
advance on the Federal side. The fight con-
tinu,.d for some time and as we learn quite
fiercely. Notwithstanding the great dispari-
ty Of numbers the Confederate soldiers were
completely victorious, driving back the foe
with the loss OF fourteen killed, and main
tanning their ground. The Confederate loss
was but two killed. The troops of Capt.
Morgan displayed the utmost heroism and
the most determined GOODNESS. This is the
first encounter of note that has taken place
in the State, and will be regarded as an omen
of the ultimate result-Boscling Green Ga

FROM the AUGUSTA NLlOulcle anu SeLllnel-l
We are indebted to friend, of Madison,
Geo, for the following letter, giving an ac-
count of the brilliant engagement off the
North Carolina Coast:
ELIZABETH CRY, n. c.,
Oct. 4th, 1861.
M. E1ifor:-Being thus far, returning from
Roanoke Island, and detained for few hours,
| propose a short account Of the Third Regi-
ment Georgia Volunteers. And first of all:
on yesterday forty-Dine prisoners from Hat
teras were placed on a barge in front OF the
camp who, the night before, had been taken
by an expedition commanded by Col. Wright,
and composed of the Dawson Grays, Athens
Guards and Wilkinson Rifles. Theeommand
were on board the steamers Raleigh. Curlew,
and JunaIuska, part of Commodore Lynch's
squadron. These steamers were armed with
cannon. On Tuesday last, at q P. NJ, the
whistles sounded. the "tribands" of the Con-
federate States kissed the rising breeze, and
off the little army and navy went; Commo-
dore Lynch commanding all the steamers
In two hours and a half the deep mouthed
dogs of war, let loose, told US in the camp the
work was going on. Presently, quicker and
quicker came the booming thunder, and soon
several together, and then at regular inter-
walls; and thus it was, until the white flag
went up on board the steamer Fanny, part
of the q. 5. N. off Hatteras, and she aUds
ours.
She made all the resistance she could, but
was taken. Armed with two pieces Zone
rifled cannon,) aud those 40 men Zone con-
traband of war in uniform)-she was carry
ing immense army stores to the 14th Indiana
Regiment, then establishing camp about 20
miles from ours.
Yesterday the captured Fanny was unload
ed, and before now has. in all probability,
done US good service. For as we came away
the cannon, at P. NJ, when we were fifteen
miles off, appFised US that the feet and army
were again in motion.
The Fanny's cargo is very valuable, prob
ably worth $4,000 or $4,000. One item is
1000 army overcoats.
The prisoners are detachments from va
rious companies at Hatteras, and were COM
manded by Capt. Hart, of the 14th Indiana
Regiment. Twelve of them are from the New
York 9th Regiment, and were acting as artil-
lerymen.
They are safe, in good hands. and treated
as prisoners of war. Lieut. Harris, of the
Home Guards, had them in charge when we
left, and all hands on the barge were desi-
rous to find all the comforts its open decks
afforded, in the bright sunshine.
