some OF Its citizens into an ambush The next
day fifty furniture wagons, properly supplied
with straw, were despatched down the Iron
Slip Railroad, to bring the wounded to the
nearest station on that road for shipment here,
and three days later the Federals were still
engaged in burying their dead with picket
guards stationed around so as to prevent the
intrusion of the curious, lest they should learn
too much. This give you on the authority
of two Union men from that vicinity, who
both concur in representing the accounts of
the AFFAIR, as published in the papers here, as
false in every particular. The Federal soldiers

More Arms Arrived.
1t gives us great pleasure to announce that
another steamer has arrived in a Southern
port from England, laden with arms and mu-
nitions Of war for the Confederate Govern
ment This intelligence was received here
yesterday. The vessel itself, we understand
as well as the cargo, has been purchased by
the Government. Her cargo consisted of from
eight to ten riiled cannon (Which were origi-
nally intended-tell it not in Gath--for the
Federal Government, $500 stand of arms, a
large quantity Of powder for cannon, large
quantities of blankets, over coats, army and
navy shoes, saddlers tools for artillery pur-
poses sufficient to equip four battalons She
also brings large quantity of medicine and
assorted goods The vessel cost about 5000, =
600, and her engines are powerful. Her car
rying capacity is about / ,6l0 tons, and she
was one of the swiftest steamers in British
waters. There is nothing in American waters
that can cope with her when she shows her
heels. She carries heavy armament, as the
Yankees will some day learn.
The Prisoners held as Hostages.
The following are the names of the prison

Expenses of the War on Both Sides.
The war expenses of the Confederate States
during the last six months are acknowledged
to be fifty millions Of dollars, and the war
expenses Of the United States, for the same
time are acknowledged to be two hundred
millions OF dollars. The number of men slain
in battle, in the fifteen or twenty actions,
grea; and small, that have taken place between
the two belligcrents since the war opened in
the taking Of Fort Sumter, cannot he easily

probably the only way in which they can be
