WAR NEWS.

The Lynchburg Republican publishes two let
tiers from Winchester, Va, dated 9TH and Sth inst
furnishing Intelligence from Gen. L. j. jackson 5
command.
The first letter says there has been no fighting,
beyond some little diminishing, in which three or
four casualties occurred on each side and the cap
ture by the Con!edcrates of two cannon and ten
or twelve prisoners, when the enemy retreated
across the Potomac We burnt the bridge across
the Capon river. The force OF the enemy was
estimated to be from two to three thousand.
The second letter says that General +. f. Jack
son was on his return, having accomplished the
object of his visit, which was the destruction of
dam No. 6, on the Chesapeake canal, and some
bridges on the Baltimore aud Ohio railway. Gen.
jackson lost, in the expedition, about twenty men.
There was only small force of the enemy in that
quarter and but little fighting. 1t is reported
that we lost more men than the enemy DID.
On Monday last, some five or six hundred of the
militia stationed near Colonel Blues on the north
western road, about fourteen miles this side of
Romney, were attacked at daylight by about 1000
of the enemy from Romncy, and were soon put to
flight We lost some three or four killed, and
some few were taken prisoners; also lost two
pieces of artillery and three baggage wagons. The
enemy burnt the mill near by and several dwell
lighthouses, including Colonel Blues with his cx-
tensve barns, stables. etc, aud destroyed all his
personal property and live stock. The Federal
villains shot an humble old shoemaker, in his own
house, and then burnt the building over his body.
The latest intelligence received at Winchester
states that General jackson had captured two
pieces of cannon, between thirty and forty thous-
and dollars worth Of clothing aud military stores
Among his wounded is Captain Alexander Of an
Arkansas regiment, who lost an arm.
The Republican, also, has letter from its
special correspondent at Camp Allegheny, dated
Il. Ga Il
attack has yet been made on that camp or on Mon
terey, although it has been confidently expected
for several days. The enemy, after destroying
what they could, in Huntersvie, put of in dou-
ble-quck, not taking time to release a Yankee
prisoner who confined in Jail.
Our force recently at Huntersville was about
six hundred but the commandment at that post
had unluckiy given furloughs to about four hun
dred, thus leaving very small force at that point.
But for this deficiency in our force, we would
have whipped the Yankees of, as they did not
number over six hundred men.

ANOTHER FIGHT IN THE INDIAN
NATION.

Opoth1cyAoLo Ayain Drtcotcd-Wc have an
nounced the defeat of Orothleyholo, near Fort
Smith, by telegraph. From an issue Of the Van
Buren, (Ark. Press, of the LIST ult., we gathsr
the following additional particulars:
We are permitted to make the following extract
from letter just received from an officer engaged
In the fight, giving an account Of the attack OF
Gen. McIntosh's command upon OPvthleyholo
From the letter it will be seen that pursuit of
the enemy, the succeeding morning, was eontemp-
lated; we will, therefore, look for another battle,
and the capture or the determination Of the trail
tors.
From the express rider who left the next
morning after the fight, learn that a detach-
ment Of Stones regiment came into camp in the
night, and reported between thirty and forty more
killed, and also that about one hundred wagons
were taken from the enemy. Gen. Mcintosh left
that morning in pursuit, with two days ratiOns.
CAMP OrOTHLEYHoLO, Dec 20
We came up with the enemy to-day, and had a
running fight for several miles; completely routed
them, killing about two hundred. We only lost
twelve killed and about twenty wounded. We
had a magnificent charge, and the entire command,
consisting Of Grcers, Stones, MclntoSh's Young S
and Benefits commands, behaved with great cool
ness and gallantry. The Indians had very
strong position, ard occupied very broken and
rocky ground, thickly covered with post oak tim
Der.
We have over one hundred prisoners, women,
children and negroes, and many wagons, horses,
packs, etc, etc. We push on tomorrow, hoping
to get another chance at the devils From what
can learn from the prisoners, they were badly
frightened. The rout was complete, but may
be able to get another brush.
Coopers command was not in the fight. | think

Later tiom the Seat Of Ijcr.-Wc learn that
our army pursued the enemy for twenty-five miles
on the next day after the battle, but did not over
take any of the Indians. Col Stand Matte, with
about three hundred Of his men came upon party,
killed fifteen sixteen and took about forty prise
ners, some women and children. The rUut was 50
complete, that the enemy scattered everywhere.
Opothley holO not in the fight, but left either
the evening before, or on the morning Of the
fight One of the leaders, a Seminole by the
name of Alligator, was killed. About three hun
drcd Indian ponies were captured and about the
same number of cattle. The Indians felt certain
that they could whip men, who numbered
about fourteen hundred, and the Indians about
seventeen hundred or two thousand They had Il
strong position in a deep hollow, and when our
troops made their appearance, they raised the war
whoop and commenced firing which our men did
not return until they came up close to the enemy,
when they charged, and the Indians broke and
ran, and the fight continued for ten miles.

A BATTLE IN KENTUCKY.

LYNCHBURG, Jan. 15.-Intelligence has been
received here that fight had occurred few miles
beyond Prestonburg, Ky, between Gen. Humphrey
Marshall, with $500 men, and the Federals,
numbering 5000.
Marshall was retreating when he was attacked,
and the enemy came upon him in narrow gorge.
The engagement which resulted is represented to
have been one of the gallant and desperate Of
the war Col Moorcs regiment charged upon the
enemy, and hand-to-hand conflict ensued, which
lasted half an hour. The Federals fought gallant
ly, but finally broke and scattered and ran off in
"Bull Run" style.
Gen. Marshall's force being exhausted, and so
much smaller in numbers than the Fedcras, he
fell back to Prestonburg
The Confederate loss was % killed and ID wOun-
>ded. The enemys loss was over 200.
BY northern news we learn that Gen. Garfield
was in command Of the Federals, who, usual,
claim the victory. The Fedora! loss is stated at
only killed and % wounded, while they say they
captured % prisoners and found 81 dead cOnfed-
crates on the field, and that Marshals loss not
less than 60. We put more reliance in the state
ment Of the confederates than in that of the enemy
who are notorious liars about such matters

BuRY1NG A MAN ALIvE.-Sing"1or Cir
CONFERENCE.-The Baltimore Clipper of the 9th
tells the following:
On Thursday last an unusual occurrence trans
pred at the camp of the Wisconsin Fourth
regiment, encanped at Patterson Park. Peter
Moore, one of the prvates, had been i'll for seve-
raj weeks He to all appearances, died. certi-
ficate of his death was handed to Major Belger,
who ordered a coffin for the dctunct On Thursday
morning Moore placed in the coffin, and just
as the lid was being nailed down, he greatly
frightened the bystanders by sitting up in his
coffin and exclaimed that it was a shame to bury
a nlan before he was dead. OF course he WAS
removed from the box and once more placed un-
der the care of the doctor. Moore had laid one
day and night as if dead, and came very near
being buried before his time. His companions
declare that as he refused to obey orders when
the funeral was ordered by the Colonel, he has
disobeycd ORDERS and that when he RECEIVERS he
shall be court martaled.
