Two Lincoln Gunboats Whipped.
The Patriot of this morning learns that two of
Lncoln's gunboats came up the Cumberland on the
18th inst, to Canton, KY, where a field battery
from Hopkinsville opened fire on them, and after a
short they retired with about 100 killed
and one of their gunboats disabled. Our loss was
four killed and few wounded. The Clarksville
Jefersonian, of the 22d inst. gives an account of
an engagement between the gunboat Conestoga
and a gun belonging to Capt Southron's battery
of flying artillery, Canton. probably this is
the same affair." The engagement continued sew
eral hours without any important consequences.
The gun was too small to make any impression on
the ironcovered sides of the boat. These facts are
learned from gentleman who lives near Canton.
The Gazette of this morning publishes an ex-
tract from private letter from Cumberland Gap,
which says: News has reached here that a regi-

Mississippi regiment in hand to hand fight, and
the result was, as might have been expected the
Southern boys charged them with such impetuosity
that they broke and fed, leaving half their number
dead upon the field. The Indiana regiment was
literally cut to pieces. This news came direct and
the writer presumes it to be true, but the Knox
vile Gazette, of the 23d inst makes no mention of
the affair.
