a brief account of bloody battle fought on
Monday last, between FIVE National regiments

Confederate regiments and battery.
The battle lasted all day with heavy loss
on both sides.
The Charleston Mercury feared the battle
would be renwed the next day, and expressed
apprehensons for the safety OF the city, in
consequence of the great exhaustion of the
Sonthern troops and the loss of many officers
Gems EVANS aud PAMBERroN had ,omLl
mented the rebel troops for their bravery in
standing up under the heavy fire of shells, etc,
from on: gunboGts and batteries.
The fight took place four miles from Charles
ton, and from the tone of the editorial in the
Mercurv | should think the rebels have been
cut off from retreat from James Island by our
gunboats If this should be so, Charleston
must soon fail
The Richmond Dispatch says that it can be
no longer denied that Gen. JACKSON has been
heavily reinforced lately, and that the Nation
al columns must either combine or fall back
across the Potomac.

SOLDIERS ROBBED OF THEIR PAY-When sail
ors, after being paid off, are befooled out of
their wages the thieves are called land sharks
Some equally expressive term ought to be in
vented to designate the harpies who hang
round camps and military hospitals to cheat
our volunteers out of their hard earnings. For
example, what common English word is sufi-
cient to express the rascalty mentioned in the
following paragraph, from the superintendent's
report Of the Soldiers Home at St. Louis
Zone simple-minded soldier gave his money,
as he came from the paymaster to a well
dressed stranger, who wished to count it for
him, to see that it was all right and ne never
saw it again. Another was induced to drink,
and was then robbed Of all he had, the loss Of
which, upon his becoming sober, induced him
to throw himself into the river, from which he
was rescued with difficulty Another, a lad Of
sixteen, just discharged from the service, was
rescued from the hands of the plundererS by
the police, just in time to save his hard earn
ngs from being slipped from his pocket"
The rebel barbarity that insults the body Of
dead soldier on the field is more shocking
and brutal than this, but none so cunningIy
villianous and black hearted.

questions, and turned him on his back while

nov in bis death agonies, a we had done all
in our power to make his exit into eternity as
comfortable as possible it but remained for
us to see him give up the ghost. Poor boy
he kept US waiting but a little while, for his
spirit had flown to that bourne from whence
no traveller returns We turned from the spot,
and uuconsciously the tears trickled down my
cheeks as the dying words of the young rebel

CUMBERLAND GAP AT LAsT.-Our readers
will require no elaborate explanation to satisfy
them thet the occupation of Cumberland Gap
by our forces is a very important achievement.
1t gives US the command of East Tennessee
and of the great railroad artery through that
region which connects the States of Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, &c, with Virginia and
the rebel capital Secondly, this occupation
Of East Tennessee disposes of. the rebellion
throughout the State, and liberates a hundred
thousand Union men, chiefly East TennesseeaDs
who have been waiting a whole year for the
day of their deliverance from a secession reign
of terror We have no doubt that General
Halleck will take good care to provide against
the retreat of the rebels from Virginia through
East Tennessee. There will be 20 lack of vol
unteers of the very best description to fill mp
