numter Of reports were current last night
with regard to an affair with the enemy on
Whitmarsh yesterday From the best author
lty we learn the following facts, and
regret that it impossible to obtain details:
1t appears that late in the afternoon the en-
cmy landed on the island from their barges
and attempted reconnaissance in force. They
had not proceeded far before they encountered
a large Confederate picket that had been sent
over from the 18th Georgia. Our troops at
tackled them vigorously, and charged upon
them, when the Yankees fell back and again
took Their bargcs. We had few killed and
wounded on our sidc and the loss of the enemy
is said to be considerable, though no particulars
have transpircd.
When last heard from our picket was main
tanning its ground and well supported
The enemy arc evidently scckiug a place,
for battery to bear on our works on the main.

friend who arrived on Thursday from Sa-
which he considers trustworthy
The attacking party of Confedcrates was the
18th Georgia Regiment, COL Marccllus Doug
las who took advantage of good position on
bluff bank. At the first fire the Captain and
several others on the Yankee gunboat were
brought, and finding it impossible to use their
ordnance, the Yanhees surrendered, about 200
in number, with six small pieces of ordnance,
and other supplies. This is another encour-
aging instance of what may be done with small
arms against boats-- Charlcstoa Courier.
FROM THE BoRDER.-We learn that gen.
tleman from Nashville states that the Louis
VILE journal had declared for peace, that the
further prosecution of the war could only result
in devastation and unnecessary expenditure
of money and blood.
1t is also stated that Lincoln's proposed
emancipation policy had completely revolution
lied Kentucky.
Further, that the order for Indiana troops
to qucll the rebellion of the Kentucky troops
did result in the firing of the latter upon the
former, and the killing and wounding of four
hundred of the latter.
The Yankees admit the loss of eighty six
guns in the battle at Corinth, of four thousand
killed and wounded and eight thousand pris-
oners-twelve thousand in all---Atanta
Commonwealth, AprH 16
"a WEAK INVENTION OF THE ENEMY"-The
vests of the Yankees-a new in
vention-did not protect them at Shiloh, from
bayonet charges of the brave Southrons, who
met them there face to face. A number of
the dead found on the battlefield are said to
have had on those patent vests. Truely, "a
weak invention of the enemy
We learn that Gov. Johnston, of Kentucky,
(under the Provisional Government of that
State,J was wounded and taken prlsoner by the
enemy at the battle of Shiloh.

Doubtful.

Doubtful.
The New York Herald, of the 18th, which
published a list of what was captured on Island
No. 10 and its vicinity, gives the following
account of how the Island was captured:
The capture of Island No. 10, with the artil-
lcry, munitions Of war, steamboats, and troops
which defended it, turns out to be of far great
er Importance than it was deemed to be at first.
The loss to the rebels is immense. The man.
ner In which it was accomplished by the two
gnnboats running the gauntlet of the batteries,
and by the digging of a canal of twelve miles,
large portion of which was made through
heavy timber, which it was necessary to cut bv
hard four feet under water, reflects the highest
glory upon the military genius and ndomitable
resolution of our troops. This victory clears
the way to Memphis, the only Instructions of
any account being Fort Randolph and Fort
Pillow, which can be easily disposed of. Mem
phis captured, the descent to New Orleans can
not be resisted
The prisoners and property captured by Ger.
Pope and Com. Footc at and in the vicinity
OF island No. 10, are summed up as follows:
Major General /; Brigadicr GereraIs, 3; Colo
nels, 10; Licutcnant-C Colonies, and Majors, Is:
Captains So; Licutenants Ga; Second Licuten
ants, S4; privatcs, $500; cannon, 1875: arms,
10000; steamboats,, 10; floating battery, l; horses
and mules, 1000; wagons, 1,oOO besides forty
thousand dollars worth of provisions and am
mnnition unestimatcd. The regiments captured
were the 10th, 10th and 55th Tennessee: 3d.
1lth and 10Th Arkansas; the 1st Alabama. and
the New Orleans Pelican Guard.
LATER AND MORE CORRECT ACCOUNT OF THE
ABOVE.
The papers of the enemy contain Commo,
dore Foote's official account of the occupation
of Island No. 10, on the Sth instant. From
this it appears that General Pope had succeed
ed in crossing the Mississippi below the Island,
whereupon our forces evacuated the Island and
the works on the neighboring Tennessee shore.
Seventeen of our officers and 36S privates.
besides some sick soldiers and employees, were
taken by the enemy. Also 70 pieces of can
non and steamers.
FROM observation-disclosures from Leesburo
state that the Yankees have taken possession
of church, hall, court house, banks, ETC., tried
to force citizens to take the oath sent SOL
dler to work with negroes at wagon hauling
stone; stolen and robbed teams, houses, etc.
but the people walked around the square ra-
ther than go under the Yankee flag.
The Northern papers say that among the
prizes captured 10y the Federal soldiers at Fort
Donelson, was rifle said to be worth one
thousand dollars. Its breech is inlaid with the
finest gold. 1t belonged to hotel keeper in
Memphis, and was won by him at horse
race.

We learn by officers who arrived last even
ing from Pattsrsons creek, that our forces
left Romney in considerable of hurry on
Friday night about six o'clock, and reached
Pattersonls creek on Saturday morning about
FIVE. The order to pack up was received
about two o'clock on Friday afternoon, and
the greatest excitement and curiosity existed
in the camp. Some of the companies were
compelled to destroy portion Of their tents
for the want Of transportation, and coRsid-
erable quantity of provisions, such as bacon,
&C., was destroyed for the same reason. Gen.
Lander issued an order, which was read on
dress parade before the evacuation, that any
one caught setting fire to the town or per
pstrssing any other outrage, would be in
5tantly shot. .jsTJI=y r4s. B.. 4.
Our informant Is Of course not advised as
to the evacuation of ROmney, but thinks il
was q piece of strategem which Jackson sus.
pected and avoided by going back to Win

Our forces are now at Patterson's creek
about seven miles east of Cumberland, AND
about fifteen from Romney, but were cross
ing the railroad bridge into Maryland, ant
are no doubt by this time encamped on th'

MEssRs. EDITORS One would think from
your notices of the votes of Mr.. GrisWold
in the House of Representatives, on the'pro-
slavery resolutions offered by Mr. Dresel,
that you are disappointed in him. do not
know why you should be. His votes are in
harmony with his past history. He is one Of
those who seek to control the Republican
party of this county-and sometimes success
fully-who have no sympathy with its prin-
ciples or its objects. BE was nominated in
order that he might if elected, reject and
represent their sentiments. Ask them if they
are disappointed or dissatisfied.
But why complain of Mr.. GriswoldP Are
there not higher objects to strike The high
er officers of our army, with few exceptions
not including in the exceptions the cele-
brated Brigadier- General Marshal slave
catching Lamon-are imbued with the senti-
ment of those resolutions, and seem to regard
it as the main object Of the war to illustrate
them.
do not see, then, what is to be accom-
plished BY wasting time upon 80 small mat
ter as a very small member Of q State Legis-
lature. Larger evils press upon US. But
do not know IS anything can be done to re-
move them. p

may possibly be upon any mere local interest
If the army but move fOrgArd, If there is ne
weakness and indeeisirn, no more retreats or

had Adjutant General Thomas, Gen. Stone at
