shop, ars Yoelker's grocery, and he shop Of
a colored barber ramed Frank. The WRig

says:
Gentlemen who arrived YESTERDAY from
Rosns county, report that they have re-
Gently had very exciting times ia Roane and
Witt counties. Major Slemmer, OF Gen.
RoseCrauZ's staff, was sent down to Snencer
with a force sufficient TO clean out the secos
~sionists OF that vicinity. Unfortunately the
coming Of SlemU.er was ascsrtained by them
and they managed 10 escape from the vicinity
Of Spencer. Tue latter part OF last week,
however, SlemmeT encountered A considers bic
force Of seCessiOnists at BIZ Bend. in Writ
county, about ten miles from Burning Syringe,
and after skirmishing with them for two DAYS,
caused them to beat a retreat With a loss Of
fifteen killed. Lieut. McClosky, Of the Unios
company from Ritcbie county, was shot in the
abdomen, and after lingering about twenty
four hours died. The Union forces then
burned the house Of Peter Ssibsrgh, a pfoml-
hent secession leader, and also the house OF
another rebel, whose name we did non learn.
Both Of the houses were fortified.
Two rebels, who had taken the oath Of allie
| glance, and were caught with arms in their
hands, were taken out and shot. Two more
men, caught uuder similar circumstances, were
to have been shot the next day. Mai. Stem
mer, in marching through Roaue county, found
eight dead men in al Obscure tn ckst. It was
not known whether the bodies were those Of
Union men or rebels. Mi siemuer is satTs
fed that the rebels have signal rockets. By
when they warn one another Of the approach
OF bis force. They also have q signal ike tie
hooting Of an Owl, which is very advanta
geously used. By these d similar means
they sre enabled to eluds the pursuit Of Stem
mer's command, and 20 scatter in small bodies.
The military authorities at ParkeTsburg ere

From the Sew Orleans Picayuaa
/ gives IS pleasure to learn, az We are dali,
doing, that our military authorities have taken
and are taking, order for putting orr city anC
its approaches ID the requisite state Of d-fense
in VisT Of the contingency which is possible, ii
not Imn.nc0---ne advance OF the enemy to.
ward New Orleans. The result Of our i~nauiricC
as to what is doing 10 this way is exceedingly
satisfactory, though it is obviously proper tina,
VS. should not 90 into a detailed account Of the
action Of t5s au bori,jes in the matter.
Here, We have An available force in men and
arEs to make a Formidable resistance to any
attempt Of the eusny 70 invade us, and il viii
be seen That steps have bsen taken to bring
this force into form and shape for effective use
The series OF brigade p5r8dea, which is ia
e 'nnsEcs TO dav, and be continued until the
29th Instant, will show the extent and material
Of that available force Of our citizen soIdierv.
and viii enable the malor-geReral commanding
to see what IS necessary TO make It properly
efficient for service.
Meantime, under the sedll0u5 care Of Gen.
TTiggs, CsumodoTe Holljns and the governor
or the State, the w3Tk Of providing pToper de
fenses Of our coast against hostile invasion,
by sea and by land, is going steadily forward.
While We are constantly hearing Of active
movements on The part Of the good people O!
the several exposed parishes, In the same d.
r%eetio1. One example Of this will serve, BY
way Of illustration.
The Frsnkiin est Mary Parish) Register
tells rs that the st. Mary artillery company,
Lne CannonesTs, numbering 104 men, rank ana
lie; have been ordered to rendezvous al
brasneaT, to guard the approaches Of the New
Orleans, Opel0usas and Great Western rail-
road. The point ia an important one. and the
government has very wisely anticipated the
wishes Of that part o9 the Ssaje, as well as Of
this city, in having il well defended. We un-
nerstand that other forces are to be stationed
there IN order more edectualIy to protect that
important point.
and were it eXpedient, we could furnish a
great number Of similar instances Of the wise
roreihought and energy OF the authorities in
the way Of providing for our proper defenscs.
