Capture of a Railroad Train

We have further particulars of the capture and destruction of the federal railroad train near Germantown, Tenn, few days since, a few of the prisoners having arrived in this city. By an injury to the road, the train, composed of one passenger car, and four cars loaded with suffers stores was thrown from the track, and consequently detained. The wreck was then surrounded by Col, Jackson's cavalry, who cap- tured the stores, cars, etc., which were destroy ed Seventyrthree prisoners were taken-among them Col. Kinney of one of the Ohio regiments. This officer and most of the parties taken were paroled. Thirteen of the prisoners reached this oty last evening, as follows: Lieut.. Theodore Wispaugh, Sergt, Joyner and Corp. Thos Gott 29th Illinois infantry; Corp. Wm. L. Carter 2Oth Illinois infantry. Serg. Henry Behrens, company E. 56th Ohio: Corp. George Godfreys, company H. Sd Iowa; Paul Martin, company B. 9th Illinois; J. Wagner, company H. 2d. Iowa cavalry; H. L. Abby, lth Iowa infantry; Corp. D. F. Palmer, Ed. Iowa cavalry; Corp. Jos. Bixby, company H. 10th Missouri; J. H. Fultz, 29th Illinois; R. c. Ellis, 26th Illinois.
 After the accident to the train the federal off sers commenced the indulgence of sumptuous meal, and on the bill served up was iced wines, and all the delecacies of" the northern and southern markets. The unceremonious manner in which they were interrupted, interfered, of course, with their enjoyments. The train, its freight and the luxuries were all destroyed, when our cavalry moved in another direction.
Arkansas true Democrat., 1862-07-17

MATTERS IN AREASsAs.-lti is pretty certain that the federals have leftour State. Curtis has managed to escape, but with heavy loss. Fitch, with his gunboats, has gone to Memphis. When he left White river. he had seven hundred ne groes that he had kidnapped, the most of whom escaping to their masters. When Fitch came into the river he declared, time and again, that he came to respect the laws, to protect persons and property, and in no wise to disturb any domestic relations. When he was forced to leave, he stole every negro he could lay his hands upon, even sending troops into the swamps to hunt the negroes who fled from them.
 No doubt the negroes have been taken to Mem phis, to be made to work on the fortifca tions being erected in anticipation of an attack by the Confederates. They are, probably, lost to their credulous owners, who were simple enough to believe in Yankee promises.
 Curtis leaves Arkansas with his army decima- ted by sickness half starved, and the bodies of hundreds of his soldiers on or beneath cur soil tie mas DeeH Iauene cl 4L Arkansas, like Jordan, was hard road to travel. We learn of several skirmishes recently. the capture of eighteen wagons laden with suffers stores, and other matters, but have no particu- lars.
 The few tories iu North Arkansas who well comed the federal army, are left in a sad pre- dicament. They are likely to have alively time of it hereafter. We are told that there is not i a Union man to be found in the whole country | now.
 Curtis stole probably l5OO negroes and i'm, mense quantities of provisions, besi,lesShorses and mules. He is some at "respeaiag' pro- perty also.

They then dug into them and found twelve thousand dollars His books were afterwards fouhd, which disclosed the fact that at his last inventory he had ffty-nine thou sand.

They preferred to pay over the money. The money derived from these vari- ous sources, does not go to rep enish the bank rupt treasury of the northern government, but goes to Butler as so much spoil to the robbers These facts ought to impress M our people in discriminatory, and the wor4Aippers of Nam nom especially of the importance of remaining united in the determination never to surrender while there is a man left to staike for indepen dence. If our people would go to prison be fore they would give up their rights, the Tan kees would soon see the folly of attempting tc sub ugate them.

The Great Battle.

The agony of suspense is over, and we are
 enabled to announce to our readers that the 1 great battle, near Richmond, has been fought
 and won. We are without particulars, but l enough has reached US to show that it was the | greatest battle of modern times, and complete victory. There must have been, at least, aquar 1 ter of million of men engaged, and the line
 of battle extended for miles. The battle com~
 menced on the 27th day of June and ended on
 the lst or 2d day of July. The decisive battle
 was probably fought on the first day of July.
 It was not only fight by land, but by water,
 and the Confederate batteries repulsed the fleet on James river while our forces overthrow the
 invaders on land. That the enemy fought des-
 perately is evinced by the duration of the con
 test and the great losses reported to have been
 sustained on both sides. Mcclellan had had
 his great army under drill for year. All that
 discipline, teaching and tactics could do, was
 done for them. He had weeded out incompe.
 tent officers, had disgraced and shot some, had established an espit du corps" among the va
 rous regiments and got them in complete fight ing trim. Moreover, the old world and the new had been ransacked for the finest and most im- proved arms, and the energies of the nation taxed to it's utmost to provide for this great army. Cannon, bombs, shell; all the nurder> ous missiles human science has invented, were furnished to the extent required. GteeI hroast plates to protect his soldiers and strong intrench- ments for them to fight behind, with all that human ingenuity could suggest, were in abund- ance Yet all this has been overcome by the stout hearts of the sons of liberty, fighting in defence of their homes and their loved ones.
 The amount of guns and war appliances cap- tured from, or surrendered by, the enemy, is variously reported. One report says we got 80 l seige guns, 100000 stand of small arms. and other things in like proportion.
 The general opinion seems to be that our forces will march, at snce, upon Washington and carry the war in the emeny's country.- Others express the belief that they will be taken to Tennessee and pay Gen. Haleck visit. Ii is now two weeks since the battle was fouoht and by this time, the future policy of our lea. lers has been indicated. We await. with fever sh anxiety, further news from across the Mis-. 'issippi, and hope to be able to lay many of the particulars before our readers, in our next issue.
