THE YANKEES ABRoAD-The red Re.
publican vagabond. Carl Schurz. who
has been accredited By the Yankees as
one of their foreign representatives. has
temporarily returned to the United States
TO urge the adoption of more radical
policy in the prosecution of the war.
He says its present policy is gaining for
IT the contempt of foreign governments,
and even of their subjects. universally.
Nearly all the Yankee ENJOYS are said to
be anxious to return home, being pain
fully impressed with the universal hos
tility manifested abroad to the Northern
States. This is as it should be. vari-
Gus reasons are given for this hostility /;
but the agreeable fact exists that the
Lincoln nation s;inks in the nostrils of all

piece of news:
Every train from the South comes
crowded with re enlisted soldiers. return

loughs which were so freely granted
some time ago having expired, they now
return to enter again with renewed vigor.
and strength and determination upon the
sacred duty of the defense of their be-
loved country. Yesterday afternoon sew
eral hundred were marched through our
streets to the Richmond depot. For the
most part these men are from the lines
of the Potomac, to which point great i'm
portance is at present attached. AS the
crisis gathers closer and darker around
us. it will be found that every soldier
of the Confederacy will be ready to meet
it.

= general order issued by his command from
Bethel;
bethel, Tenn, March Is, 1862.
With degree of modification and humil-
iation he has never before felt, the Major
General has to denounce acts of pillage,
pluadcr and destruction of private property
of our own citizens by portion of the troops
of this command, which brings disgrace upon
our cause. Men capable of such acts may
swell our numbers, but viii never add
strength TO our armies. They would do US
less harm 10y servi az in the ranks of the en-
envy, and if not prepared to abandon the vi
cious habits they have unfortunately con-
tracted, had better lay down their arms and
retire. Gallant men, not thus demoralized
stand ready to use them, and will do so with
that firm reliance Oh an ovefruling Prov
idence which consciousness of right can
alone give. The first step towards achieving
success is to deserve it.
/ Commanders of all grades will be held
responsible for the suppression of this great
crime. Full compensation viii, IN all in~tan
ces, be made from the pay Of the offenders
and where this fails in its effect, summary
punishment viii be inflicted. The Genera
will not hesitate to order the death penalty
where it may be necessary, and will approve
its execution by subordinates where milde
measures fail. BY order of Major Genera

EVANSVILLE, IND. TUESDAY MORNING,

milton gave out, and we were ordered to
fall back. At the same time, the enemy
was thanking us right and left, and we
were then subjected to as fiery an ordeal
as ever troops passed through > but
slowly and in good order our troops fell
back, though we were fired into right
and left by small arms, and from our
rear by musketry, grape, and canister
shot, but it was of but few moments du-
ration, for we were soon relieved by
other troops who were supplied with am
munition, and terribly did the enemy
suffer- and terribly did our friends suffer
too. ,......-r .sv .1...f l.,. :
r Whilst falling back, Lieut. Col Den
bys horse was shot under him, and fell
fastening the ColonePs foot under his
side. Capt McIntire assisted in getting
him disengaged from his horse, and,
though it was in the midst of mighty
rain of the missiles of death, both got
away safely, the Colonel leaving his
horse upon the field. Near the same
time, Adjutant Evans horse was shot
under him; so you can easily under
stand how terrific the scene was
Of the causalties of the day, there is
little to be said; only to recount our loss.
We lost 20 priyates prisoners in the exc
cution of our order first to fall back, and
one officer, Capt Myler, of Spencer
county Capt.iC G. Omstead was killed,
a ball passing in the forehead, killing
him instantly, Lieut. Smith was woun-
ded in the foot Capt. McCarty was
wounded in the shoulder and Lieutenant
Overall in the thigh. The total loss OF
the AID in killed, wounded and prisoners
was l67. 20 killed, 126 wounded and 21
prisoners. ,..s --e-st ..,~.
Our regiment went into the fight with
geo men, consequently we lost over one
third of our number.

informed on good authority, that we
