From MeC0Ok's Divisional Report
s-- ed National Victory.

Mr. Beakes, former resident of this
city, but who has been for some time past
engaged in the coalmining business in
Northern Alabama, arrived here this
morning from Boliver Mr. B. reports
that on Sunday, the oath, tremendous
canonaiding was heard in the direction
of Sweden Cove, a place about fifteen
miles from Deekers- A messenger came
in to Bolivar and reported a severe bat
tie between the Union forces under Gen.
McCook, and the rebels under Bragg. He
stated that the rebels were routed and
fed to the mountains, after suffering
great slaughter Those were the reports
received at the time Mr.. Beaks left Boil
var He states that the I'd Ohio, under
Col. Harris, still remained at Battle
Creek-not having participated in the
battle. Mr. B. knows nothing of the
battle, except having heard the incessant
canonading, as well as the reports of
those who brought in the account of its
having occurred-Cis. Times.
The report that Alex McCook had de-
feated Gen. Bragg, has bean current for
some days in Tennessee and Kentucky,
and has reached us through so many
channels that it demands attention The
latest known of Gen. Bragg, he was sup
posed to be advancing to give battle, and
Buell. was concentrating his divisions to
meet him. We have great confidence
that if the rebels come in collision with
the superb troops under Buell., they will
be crushed.-Cin. Com.

49, We learn that Governor Morton

BH- We learn that Governor Morton
and other influential men of the State
have sent to the President and War De-
partment an earnest request that the
new Indiana regiments shall be placed
under command of Indiana Generals
We think this is right and proper. We
, have now some $4,000 troops in the field
We have many brave, prudent and expe-
rienced officers, who are entitled in JUS
tice to command them. Among these
are Gems. Wallace, Reynolds and Morris.
All have distinguished themselves in this
war, although the term of service of two
of them has been short But Gen. Wal
lace has served during the whole war.
He has never failed in the hour of trial.
He is an excellent disciplinarian, and
one ofthe most efficient drill officers in
the service. The men whom he has
commanded all love him and have conf.
dence in him. The new levies also have
confidence in him, and we hope to see
him placed in command of an Indians
division.

Z Bay Col Farrow's command came up
on the Matte Cook, and Salie List last
night, having been paroled by Col John
SON Major Foote late of the l4th Indi-
ana, now acting Orderly Sergeant of
Capt Towards company, accompanies
them.
From him we learn that they were at
tackled by 700 guerrillas, infantry, caval-
ry and one piece of artillery. They
fought them for hours, but were overpow-
cred, and forced to surrender. They were
stripped of arms and everything else, but
were kindly treated.
From other sources we learn that Col
Farrow was not seen during the fight,
nor until he made his appearance under
the flag of truce
The Sallie List arrived within short
distance below town, where she was
warned, that the town was in possession
of the guerrillas. She turned back and
ran down to Shawneetown.
After great difficulty, the officers of the
Sallie List persuaded Colonel Grebs,
who had part of regiment there, to
go up with them to Uniontown with
view to bag the guerrillas After deib-
Grating all night, Colonel Grebs con-
sented to come up yesterday, but acted
in such a manner as to disgust the boats
crew.
There were three boats in company,
having each cannon aboard. When
near the town, the officers of the boats
desired Colonel Grebs to land his men,
and surround the town, and the boats
would run up in front of the town and
with their guns she'll the rebels out of
town, when Colonel Grebs could hive
them. To this the valiant Colonel
would not consent He must reconnoi-
ter the place in person, when finding a
number of people in the town, he refused
to land his men. Gus Dusouchett, the
Clerk of the List, went up into the
town himself and found Farrow sitting
his tent, fanked by demijohn Of
whisky and rebel friend The town
was deserted by the guerrillas, except a
few who were prowling around. We
hope the Government will investigate
the conduct of both Colonel Farrow and
Colonel Grebs, and if they have acted as
pusillanimously as is represented, that
they viii be severely dealt with.
There have been too many of these
parties gobbled up by the guerrillas
through the pusillanimity of their com
handing officers. 1t is time they should
end
One hundred and fifty stands of fine
arms were taken from our men at Union
town.
