LOUISVILLE, July 13-The fight at Rich Noun
tain, the occurrence of which has been previously
reported comes to Us to-day n different tone.
The latest dispatch regarding the affair states
that the Southerners were 500 strong, and had two
cannon. Their loss is put down at 10 billed, and
about as many wounded. The loss to the Federal,
lists amounted to II killed, and wounded TO IS.
The above is approved by Gen. Mcclellan, but
his own dispatch to Washington reports 20 killed
and 40 wounded
Apparently, the invaders had made plans for a
certain victory, and sent bulletins betera the fight,
but the courier lost his way.
Gen. Mcclellan waited all day for signals, which
he did not get, and the enterprise resulted in the
dslodgment OF $50 men by five invading regl-
ments.

Col John A. Jackson, of Attala county, died on
the 9Th inst.
The Fayette Gazette says that the planters Of
Jefferson county are subscribing literally to the
Confederate Joan.
The Carrollton Democrat of the 18th notices the
departure from that town of another company for
the wars, the Carroll Guards, and says that many
of the members of that company were men with
families and of wealth and high social position.
The Lexington Advertiser of t e 18th says:
We learn that there was favorable response by
the citizens of Tchula to the appeal for loans to
the Confederate States made at that place on last
Saturday. Our fellow citizen, Mr.. Frank Wyatt,
we are informed, nobly came forward and sub
scribed his entire cotton crop, 4eU0 bushels of
corn and $4,000 now in the hands of his commits
sion merchants
The same paper has the following items:
The county jail of Attala county was entirely
consumed by fire few days since. The FIRE origi-
mated with one of the prisoners, who set fire to
partition in order to effect his escape. Attala is
unfortunate. year two since the courthouse
was plundered, and also consumed by fire.
We learn that the postoffice at Aeona still con
tnues closed. This is a great inconvenience. The
citizens of that neighborhood have to 30 to Black
Hawk for the mails.
PATRIOTIC LADIES The Canton Commonwealth
of the 18th says:
We understand that Miss Helen Johnstone, of
this county, has presented thousand dollars TO
be used in unforning Capt. PosteIl's company,
now organizing for the war.
| We are also informed that another of Madsonis
patriotic ladies contemplates presenting the same
sum. She's certain to do it for she nherits all
her fathers generous devotion to the South and 10
small portion of his holy hatred for the malignant
| Yam 4ees.
We wish the women controlled the entire cotton
| crop of the country. Their generous hearts would
soon quadruple the subscription to the Gonfeder-
| ate loan.
We learn from the Vicksburg Sun that Hon.
Walter Brooke had just returned to that city, and
that after making speeches at five different places
had succeeded in raising over 100000 for the Com
federate Government. He says in less than a.Week
| the amount will be doubled.

A PARTY IN ST.. DOMINGO ASKS AID FROM THE
UNITED SrATEs.-The New York Herald of the sth
inst. has the following item among its Washington
dispatches:
1t is understood that the reactionary party in st.
Domingo, or those opposed to the domination OF
Spain, have asked the nterpOsition of our Govern
ment against the arbitrary occupation and secret
designs of the Spanish Government on that island.
Our Government will not and cannot take any
steps in this matter until reply is received to the
of the Secretary of State respecting this affair
| Unless Spain gives an uneauivocal answer to the
Questions propounded by our Government in re-
gard to this imbroglio, the Dominicans, who are
struggling against Spanish usurpation will probably
thrill of joy into their hearts, Spain will learn,
as will also every other European power that at,
tempts any encroachments upon this continent, or
to interfere with the Monroe doctrine, that the
United States is fully able and competent not only
| to crush out rebellion at home, but at the same
time to deal with our enemies abroad.

A BARBER WOULD Woo1SG Go.-That merry
devil, the Barber of Seville, as the opera repre-
sents him, would appear to have worthy relative
in this city. Our hero, a handsome Teuton, who
is as amorous as brave-for he is sweet upon all
pretty girls, and takes all sorts Of men by the nose
every day-fourishes his knigbtly razor not a
thousand miles from the corner Of Tchoupi
toulas and Jackson Streets in the Fourth District
At neighborng dry, goods store, resides Jewish
lass, plump as pigeon and pretty and sweet as
peach: and this lump of loveliness was unlucky
enough to steal the barber's too-susceptble
heart.
The intense passion of our hero tempted him to
discard the fashionable method of love-makng,
and to adopt the daring and romantic style of the
oriental, so charhingly celebrated by Shakespeare
and Byron. So, at late and very dark hour the
other night the lover, doubtless humming to him,
self Moore's lines
"If the heavens above had ongae rs well
As starry eyes to see,
What wnndrous tales 'lwould have to tell
OF wandering blades like me'
He proceeded quietly and cautiously to scale back
fences crawl over out houses, and do other things
worthy of zouave lover; and still he climbed
and crept, till at last, like Romeo, he found him
self in the hallowed chamber of his Juliet. He
stole softly to-the couch where his gentle one lay
profoundly wrapt in the arms of Morpheus, and al
her side young lady friend, whom Romeo hat
never expected to find there. His touch aroused
the unexpected young lady. She screamed. Julie
screamed. They both screamed together. The
piercing shreks of "murder" "robbers! !" ani
the like, lacerated the night far and near, ant
aroused tie neighbors in terror on all sides.
Poor Romeo! Maybe he didn't get from tina
place! His previous zouave performances wert
nothing to what he now achieved. The activity
speed, and saltatory ability of the tom-cat, as
with eyes distended and fur erect, he evades thu
bulterrier at his heels, may be offered fain
figure of the style in which our Romeo returned ii
quest of his own virtuous couch. The hue-and
cry filled his ears he made the most terrific leaps
s.z~oulted over impossible fences, and scratched
