gust Colonel Hassendeubel by order Of General
Fremont engineered and surveyed the points
within the limits OF St. Louis ior tie erection
of eleven CID forts. Under Major lis super
intendence five (5) were built directly for the
Government, without any intervening contract
er. The wages OF the laborers were 60 cents
each per day, and the cost OF each fortification
not 10 exceed $4,000. On the Goth of Sep.
! tember, when General Fremont knew that the
forts, completed, cost $4,000 each, Quarter
master General MoKlnstry, per order OF Gen.
eral Fremont, made contract with E. L. Beard
of California, to build additional forts for the
Government, similar in all respects to the 2
constructed by Colonel Hassendeubel; agreeing
to pay 45 cents per cubic yard for all excava-
tions, 55 cents per cubic yard Tor the same dirt
excayated upon the bank Of the Tort and form
ing the embankment; for all puddled earth 80
cents per cubit yard; paving walks with brick
or stone floors or dlockhouses, &c., 81 per

and cement, lumber Tor magazines, block houses
and quarters for officers and troops, sewers, &c

the building 800 per 1000 feet; for acines
and breastworks required on the work, 81 per
4 cubic ioot, and for roofing all the buildings with
three ply roofs 81 so per square Of 100 super
ficial ieet. The toal cost Of the six fortifi
cations figures upward of $500, o,00o upon which
Mr.. Beard has received $4,000. An addi-
tional payment Of an order fol. $4,000 from
General Fremont was stopped by the Secreta,

Davis.
BIvouAc ON BIG Coal RIVER,
September 18th, 1861.


GENERAL WIsE-Sfr, In obedience to your Or
ders, proceeded to Fayette c. H. with FIVE COM
panies of my regiment of cavalry, and left that
place with six Caskie's being added. On the 18th
crossed the Cotton Mountains and marched to this
place. thirtyive miles, having forded the tortuous
Coal river ninety-tsye times.
Finding that two companies of the enemy were
in our vicinity on amaraudng excursion, rapid
chase was given by cur whole force under the i'm
mediate command of Col. GARRISON
The enemy was overtakeu and the sharp Skin
mish of Toney's creek ensued. In it the enemy
were totally routed, with the loss of about fifty
killed and wounded, and the same number of pris-
oners.
The latter are en- route for your camp, under
charge. of Lieut.. Tucker and thirty men.
Sixty fat cattle were captured, also six saddles a
lot of boots and Shoes seven horses, several car
rages and wagons the latter of little account be-
ing broken and injured by rossh rouds. Fifty or
sixty stand of valuable arms and lot of ammu-
milton was the most valube part of our capture
No one was wounded on our side.
The action lasted three hours, the enemy having
been pursued to within twelve miles of Charleston
and in sight of the Kanawha river The whole
distance traversed by our men in less than twenty
four hours being IS to so miles, over steep noun
famous trails, bride paths and rocky fords.
Time is insufficient to discuss individual merit,
farther than Col. Clarksen exhibited his daring
euergy in n remarkable degree, and was the real
commander in this brilliant skirmish.
The enemy had been acting the part of brigands
in this valley stealing every species of property
insulting women, taking men and little boys a:
prisoners. Among the property taken by them
ought to be mentioned CATTLE horses, negroes, &c.
Your obedient servant J. LUuUs DAVIS

Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1857-1865, 1861-09-27

Day- From almost almost all points of
The Southern Confederaey, complaints are
heard of the disposition on the part of mer-
chants and capitalists TO monopolize all ar
ticles of prime necessity and to demapd for
them prices ruinous TO those who have
means, and altogether above the reach Of
the poor. The enemies of the South have
blockaded its ports with the hope that the
rebellion may be crushed by means Of star
vation Are they any less the enemies Of
che South who take advantage of that
blockade to impcverish the thrifty and
starve the poor? Are they not even more
to be detested than the Yankees who do,
as open enemies, what these blood suckers
do as pretended friends No true friend
of abe South will fatten upon the pecessi-
ties of its government and people, and all
who attempt it should be marked as fit
subjects for public scorn in all time to come
All are willing to allow the trader a liberal
profit but every monopoly, with view to
extortion, is an act of hostility to theSouth
that places the monopolist upon level
with the alien enemy, and calls for govern
mental intervention to suppress the moral
treason and punish the traitor. The man
who demands three times the value of an
article merely because the necessities of the
buyer compels him to submit to the cruel
extortion, is a robber on the highway of
trade, and can be no friend to a people who
are struggling for life and libefsyI against
untold odds, or to the cause which he up
holds with empty words while weakoningit
by aiding the enemy to hasten the effects Of
the blockade. We are not acquainted with
any parties who are thus playing into the
hands of the enemy, and hope none such
are to be found in our midst; but if there
be, this community should set its seal of
condemnation upon them, and make
them suffer, when prosperity shall be re-
stored, for their unfeeling rapacity in times
of cruel adversely.

Bsr From the best information we can
obtain, it appears that the abolition army
in Western Virginia numbers about fifty
thousand; and when we inform the reader
that Lee and Loring, Wise and Floyd have
greatly superior numbers to contend with,
he will see, at once, why our armies in
that section have done no more towards
driving out the invader Reinforcements
are going forward now, and we hope that,
with diminished odds against us, the work
of expulsion will proceed more rapidly.
