Garfield Victorious Again !

The CINCINNATI Commercials the Goth
inst. contains news of Gen. Garfeld's
expedition TO Pound Gap, forty miles be-
yond Piketon.
There were five hundred rebels en-
trenched on the summit of Cumberland
Mountains at Pound Gap. Garfield occu-
pied the mountain with his infantry by an
unfrequented path, and while his cavalry,
by advancing along the main road, max
ing vigorous attack in front, drew the
rebels a short distance down the summit,
the infantry advanced alongtho ridge and
completely routed them after a fight of
less than twenty minutes. The rebels
abandoned everything. Garfield pursued
the rebels six miles into Virginia, and af
ter quartering his men over night in cap
tured camps, burned their barracks, con-
sisting of sixty log huts, and a large guam
tity of stores.
The rebels lost seven killed and wound
ed. Nobody hurt on our side.

MssSrS. EditOrS:-I notice in the "Chron-
icle" of the 10Th, a criticism on the late
report of the Grand Jury on the condition
of the county Jail, signed by one "Jere-
piah Reeve" This writer has it from
the mouth of another that the Jail is not
all that it should be, and forthwith he
gallops before the public with a very i'm
probable supposition, and supposes he has
made a case.
The county Jail was designed to re-
strain criminals, and prevent them from
preying upon honest people, and the
jury unanimously reported it exactly fitted
for that purpose; and Though not anxious
to engage in any controversy when
Jeremiah" shall show wherein it is not
exactly fitted to restrain rogues, l will
respond. This sympathy for rogues, is
of a piece with the sympathy the rebels
profess to have for the north under the
rule of king Lincoln"

STEAMER CONTINENTAL, Tenn. RIVER,
SAVANNAH, MARCH -, 1862.

MARCH II, 1907.
Editors Chronicle My last letter closed
on our way above Fl. Henry. That night
we made a general rendezvous where the
R. R. from GAINESVILLE to Memphis cross
ed the river, and it twas supposed we would
be landed and march along the line of
the road to Memphis. About u, NJ,
next day, Monday, the order came to
move forward, and each steamer loosed
from its moorings and again started on
the grand expedition up the Tennessee.
The fotilla numbers between fifty and
sixty steamers, and at least thirty of them
are moored within sight of each other at
the bridge, and when we were all under
way, the scene was grand beyond descrip-
ton. Our steamer is the largest in the
fotilla, and is the headquarters of Gen.
Sherman.
At the same time we left Paducah, a
column of men were moved forward from
Nashville, whether to act in conjunction,
or independent of US, is unknown to us
at present.
The river is now higher than ever be-
fore known, and very favorable for pene-
trating the interior of Dixie" The
weather seems like May, quite a contrast
to what we experienced at Chicago, a week
ago. Tuesday afternoon we reached Sa-
vannah, and here the view was much
more grand and imposing than at any
previous time. Sixty-fve steamers are
now moored here, part on one side and
part on the other, and they contain at
least sixty thousand troops. Rumor says
as many more are to arrive. Our orders
being sealed, We are not posted as to the
programme.
The people, as we approached this place,
seemed much more like Union people,
than lower down the river, and groups Of
men, women and children, would greet
us from the shores with cheers for the I'm
ion and waving of handkerchiefs. We
had on board an exile from near this
place, %(Savannah) who had been driven
from his home on account of his princi-
pies. As the boat came neal his planta-
ton, we lay close in to the shore, in or
der that he might recongnize and be re-
cognized by his family, if any should be
in sight. He had not heard from them
since he left, three months since, and they
did not know whether he was alive or not.
His wife, children and neighbors, were
all out as we passed, and l never saw
such e~cstatic joy in any one, as he mani
tested when he recognized his loved ones.
He leaped and stamped, swung his hat
and shouted "Hallelujah, Union, Home!
coming to see you'll" Many an eye
was wet with tears that witnessed the
The country here is Union, neverthe-
less there are some secesh, which may be
told easy enough by their perfect igno-
rance when questioned upon secesh mat
tiers.
MARCH 13.-We start in a few minutes
for a point higher up the river. Ny com
pany was paid off to-day up to Dec. 3lst.
Yours truly, E. c. Downs.

The Santa Fe Gazette says Capt McRae's
battery was captured in battle heal Fort
Craig in consequence of its support, con-
sisting of two companies of Volunteers
running away when the Texans charged
on it, resisting the efforts of Col. Candy
himself to rally them; also that Capt.
Lords dragons refused to obey his com
mand to charge on the enemy. The
charge of the Texans on the battery is
described as very brilliant and terrible
They were armed principally with Colts
SIX shooters, and although scores were
killed by McRae's grape and canister,
they marched steadily on, killing every
gunner but one or two.

MILITARY AT THE CAPITAL The present
military establishment about Columbus,
consists of Col. Moody's 18th regiment,
nearly full, Col. L. d. CampbelPs Goth,
wanting two or three companies, and two
skeleton battalions OF the 9th cavalry, I'M
der Col. Lloyd, not yet mounted and not
likely to be. A few more men would fit
out parson Moody. so he could try the
moral suasion of powder and bayou
ct upon the sinners down in Dixie, which
he thinks is the best gospel for such peo-
pie. Lew. Campbell is in the dead lock,
for the want of three hundred men of the
spread eagle persuasion, to fill out his reg
iment. The foot-cavalry are urged to go
in and fill up the 69th; ~foot-cavalry say
that is not the entertainment they set out
for. Capt. John II. Cryer, our keen little
horse friend from Salem, begs to have his
company allowed TO go and join Col.
Doubleday, of the End Ohio Cavalry in
Kansas: red tape in the way Lieut.. Pei
ton of Trumbull Co., who has held the
ribbons so long over the victorious Kenne-
bee, looks grum as he splashes his spurs
in Scioto mud. Col. Lloyd takes things
easy, and we fear ''that's what's the mat
ter" for Lieut.. Collins, who began at a
later day, had his battalion mounted and
ready for the field weeks ago, just because
he had the vim to stir about and now he
is off for Kansas.
The prison at Camp Chase contains l.
200 secesh officers, mostly taken at Fort
Donelson. and principally from Texas,
Mississippi and Tennessee regiments
Many of the Tennessee officers are anx-
ious TO swear out, 90 home and Quit socer-

advices from Savannah, Tennessee, of the
formation of q Union regiment in Ala
bama.
The Republican asserts that the Presi-
dent has removed General Denver from

The entire national debt is now four
hundred million dollars.
Certain newspapers having hagrantly
persisted in the publication of military
details, in violation of the rules and arti-
cles of war and the orders of the Wal De-
partment, thereby endangering the safety
of cur armies and the success of military
operations, the Secretary of War has or
dered the enforcement of the penalties.
and q special court martial assembled at
Washington for the trial and punishment
of the offenders.
Postmaster Ganeral Blair to-day issued
the following notice to the Postmasters of
the United States:
The Secretary of War now regulates
the transmission of information by tele-
graph affecting the conduct of the war,
in order to prevent the communication
of such information TO the rebels. 1t is
also thought necessary by the Secretary
to put restriction on the publication of
facts of this character, however derived,
and the aid of this Department is request
ed for this purpose. You will therefore
notify publishers not to publish any fact
which has been excluded from the tele-
graph, and that a disregard of this order
will subject the paper to be excluded from
the mails. Signed,

The Importance Of the Federal victory
at Fort Donelson was generally recognized
in England. causing an advance in Ameri-
can Securities and a depression in cotton.
The London Times admits the recent sue
cess of the Federals, and heirimportance,
and says they have been gained in a
country where the allegiance of the popu-
lation was divided, but they have scarce
" brought the Federal Government any
nearer than before to a reconstruction Of
