Major General Commanding.

WASHINGTON, June IL 1.-Advice received
at the War Department state that Jackson's
army attacked Shields advance Morday
morning, near Port Republic. The conflict
is said to have been maintained for four
hours by about two thousand OF our men
against the main body OF Gen. Jacksons
| army.
The enemy's force became so oyerwhelm-
ing in numbers that our advance was com
pelled to fall back, which it did in good or
der, until it met the main body of Shields
command, near Conrad's store. AS socn as
this was Effected, the enemy in turn retired.
The fighting is said to have been severe, and
the loss heavy on both sides. 4"
A private letter states that Gen Shields
had previously succeeded in destroying
large quantity Of supplies belonging to the
rebels at Milford and at Conrads store. -
The damage by the recent rains, including
the carrying away of the bridges over q
branch Of the Shenandoah river, materially
interferred with the m,ssariat arrange

SURAY, June 10th, via WASHINGTON, June
11.-Coonel Carroll, comm inding the 4th
brigade, consisting of the 9th Penn, llth
Penn, 7th Ind, and LIST Va, about sixtee n
hundred strong, reached Port Republic on
Sunday, and reconnoitered. lie found the
enemy in town, and had skirmish. lie
concluded to hold the bridge, and ordered
not to be burned, and put guns in position
commanding it. At six O'Clock ON Monday
morning he was opened on by some twenty
heavy guns placed in position during the
night. Our forces tried to reach the bridge
repeatedly to destroy it, but were met by
storms Of bullets, and had to retire. A large
cavalry force crossed and attacked our troops,
while their infantry followed, our men oppos-
ing them at every step.
Alter driving then back with heavy loss,
our numbers, after Gen. Tyler's brigade ar.
rived, being so much inferior to the enemy,
at least five to one-it was impossible to
hold our position, and we were compelled to
fall back, our boys fighting every foot Of the
way.
After falling back some three or four miles
a body of cavalry were sent to attack us, but
gagement ended, lasting five hours. e,
Our loss in killed, wounded and prisoners
is not known, but is large, as is also that of
the enemy.
Col. Carroll's horse fell, ipjuring him
badly. Capt. Kelley Of Gen. Shields staff.
was badly hurt IN the head. He received
praise from all who saw him Fighting. Col.
Buckley, of the Twenty ninth Ohio, was
badly wounded. His men charged three
times to get his body, but it was carried off
by the enemy, Capt. Keogh charged with
body Of cavalry, and held the bridge for
some time, during terrible storm of grape.
This was one of the most hotly contested
engagements Of the whole war, as indicated
by the loss compared with the numbers en-
gagged. The men fought like demons.
LATER.
Two regiments from the first brigade ar
rived IN time to assist in covering the retreat.

The RECORD OF BRAVE MAN.-We
have already announced that among the
wounded in the terrible battle that was
recently fought in Arkansas, was Capt.
Hcnnc; Of this city There is something
peculiarly romantic in this mans history.
He was soldier in Germany, and in
fighting the battles Of his native country
lost his left arm end two fingers from his
right hand. On the breaking out of hos
tilities here, he was one of the first men
to volunteer in defence Of his adopted
country. He was first Lieutenant Of Capt.
Wentz's company, but when they were
mustered into service he was rejected on
account of his mutations; even an APP
peal to the War Department being un-
successful to continue him in service. -
Nothing daunted, he followed the company
to Missouri without pay even as private,
sharing the rations of the men and deter
mined If there was fight to participate
in it. He did fight with them, and such
was his bravery and the mems admiration
Of his heroism that he was made Captain Of
Missouri company, in which capacity
he has since done some hard fighting. lie
participated with al his accustomed ardo,
in the recent terrible battle at Sugar
Creek, Arkansas, where he received shot
in the left leg, which, we learn, has in
consequence been amputatcd. Thoroughly
disabled for life, this brave man and true
patriot, it seems to us, is entitled to solid
compensation from our Government, and
we hope this case will be made special
one. Il is said that Mr.. Hnring, his
former partner, intends to 60 after the
Captain, or what remains OF him, and
bring him home. May it be 80, and sue
cess attend his effort. Davenport Gazette.

Portland, March 10.
The steamship Anglo Saxon from Liv-

rived here this morning. Her dates are
five days later.
GREAT BRITATN.-The Importance of
the Federal victory at Fort Donelson WAS
generally recognized in England, causing
an advance in American securities and a
depression in cotton.
The London Times admits the success
co Of the Fcderals and their Importance,
and says they have been gained in coun-
ties where the allegiance Of the popula-
tion was divided, but they have scarcely
brought the Federal Government any
nearer than before to reconstruction of
the Union.
The London Morning Post hopes that
both the Unionists and secessionists will
look upon the present state Of affairs AZ
affording ground for a compromise Of their
difficulties, as the conquest Of the South
is beyond the attainment Of the North on
the one hand, and the complete establish.
ment Of their independence on the Other
may be beyond the power Of the South.
