In Bad HumOr.

The Richmond Virginia Dispatch OF
Feb. 10, in announcing the rebel defeat
at Fl. Donelson, lets off the following
highfalutin. No wonder the editor IS
out of humor. His pet scheme of trea-
son is rapidly c%rumbling (; the ~hangHan's
rope waits, and hell gapesto receive the
demon traitors who inaugurated the un-
holy rebellion.
"If these bloody barbarians, whose
hands are now soaked to the elbows IN
the life-blood of men defending their
own homes and firesides, dream that they
are n inch nearer the subjugation Of
the South than when they started on their
Internal mission, they prove themselves
to be fools and madmen as well as saw
ages and murderers. They have taught
US a lesson, we admit they have taught
US to be more wary and circumsPect-
to husband with greater care our limited
resources and not to underate the enemy
We haze OUerrated the Cowardiee of the
Yankees and unerratsd their resources ~
FAN honest confession is good for the
soul.
''But they have placed between them
and US a gulf that can never be crossed
by their arts or their arms, and a univer-
sal determination to die, if die we must,
but never permit her to be subjugated by
the most malignant, the most murderons,
the meanest of mankind, whose name is
this very ome such a by-word and
repFoach throughout Europe, for their
combined cruelty and co~wardice, that
their W ambassadors cannot stand the
scorn of the worlds contempt. and are
all anxious t fly back to the United
States.

shot by his own men while attempts
ing to make his escape in a boat, during
the siege at Ft. Donaldson. Many of
the captured are very indignant at him,
and declare they would kill him them
selves if they had a chance, if cur men
did or had not. / am credibly informed
that the Nebraska regiment met the
Texan Rangers and killed 65 of them
that after the surrender they threw their
arms into the river, declaring they should
never fall into the hands Of the Yankees.

The weather for several days has been
stormy and bad. Quite a number OF our

along our line. 1t seemed as if the men
were armed with Colts revolving rifles,
so steady was the fire. The men loaded
their pieces as if by magic Not a mo-
ment's delay was perceived by the most
acute ear! The aim was none too high
nor low 7; and the shots were very des-
t%ructive, for three hundred or more Of the
enemy fell. The enemy soon fed, re-
pulsed by the little Nebraska Regiment
No Regiment but ours was engaged at
the time; and, supported by the w
field pieces. we did the work most ad-
mlrably. The Regiment did not fincha
particle and company c. gained ground
forward during the action! 1t was in
the most dangerous position, along with
companies "D'' and 81" forming the left
of the second battalion. nearest the can.
non, where the enemy's grape shot, ball,
and shell we're hurled the thickest. Cap
tain Majors, Lieut.. Berger and your coz
respondent, had the good fortune to
dodge some of the large, loaded messen-
gers of death, else they might now be
numbered onthe list of killed, or that of
mortalay wounded. But they were
spared for another fight; perhaps fora
field of more refulgent glory IN the fu-
ture. Corporal Buckley was slightly
wounded in the thigh by a buckShot.-
Our Regiment lost but four killed, and
had fourteen wounded.
Soon after the firing ceased, General
Wallace rode along in front of our line
and praised US, saying: Boys, you have
done finely you drove them back, and
you shall be heard from. The ~artillerists
say they could scarcely hear their orders,
our firing was so fast and steady. Old
soldiers say they never heard such steady
firing and the enemy, after being Ia
ken prisoners, testified that they thought
they were fired upon by ten thousand
men!
We slept on our arms another night,
expecting a terrible battle on the morrow,
when we expected to storm the breast
works. The Sabbath morning came,
and we were marched around to the.
South of the breastworks, where the
fighting had been most destructive during
Saturday morning and evening, and from
which point we expected to march, fight
ing our way wei the breastwerks, and
into the town of Dover. But morning
had not far advanced when the news
came that the enemy had surrendered
unconditionally, and the fighting was at
an end.
The particulars you have heard ere
this reaches you. l would not seek to
eulogize our officers, but acting Brigadier
General Thayer, Col. McCord and Cap
tain Majors stood near and spoke brave
words and calm, to the men. Captain
Majors urged his men tordo their whole
duty, and stood near byduring the battle.
Lieut.. Berger acted well his part, and
d~eservesa share of praise. He has a
trophy for the Editor of the A8Uertiser,
in the shape of the murderous bowie
knife. which he will will express soon.
Major Livingston told the men of the
second battalion, when they saw the en-
envy, to give them the cold steel; and
they would'have done it.
We marched TO this place on the 18th

The whereabouts OF the "G-r-e-a-t
American Eagle"

A citizen Of our place who has just
returned from Chicago, and was there
when the rebel prisoners taken at Fl.
Donaldson reached that place, informs
us that he learned from those acquainted
with him, that Col. G. H.. Nixon, former
" the Register for the Land Office N
this city, is a Brigade Quartermaster
under Pillow; was at Fit. Donaldson and
escaped with the fleeing 5000 under Floyd
Wouldn't it have been a very great
"disputoutment'' if the "poor ragged
barefoot boy, with his shirt tail auttering
in the breeze" had been captured and
and sent up among the poor white trash
of the Norlh?" Wonder if the specula-
ton in Tennessee Bonds-"better than
Rold"-paid "over five per cent per
month?" Is that stock of "family bacon
exhausted yet? How does the tanning
business" pay? Does the contemplation
of this great and g-e-l-O-RIoUs country
vet create "soporiic influence 2" Does
the American Eagle" The Col. put to
roost on that monument erected in the
Missouri Valley, higher than the thought
of man can reach, with one wing dipped
in the Atlantic, the other in the Pacific,
and its head buried in the thunder's
home,n still occupy that lofty perch?

JEFF. Davis, in his proclamation for a
day of fasting and prayer says to his de-
luded followers:
I'VE have been enabled TO lay anew.
the foundations of a free government,
and to repel the efforts of our enemies to
destroy us. Law has reigned supreme,
and throughout our wide spread limits
personal liberty and private rights have
been duly honored."
The Foundation not only proves 10 be
poor material, but the builders are max
ing a wonderful poor job crossing the
edifce. They playable deuce, loo, repel-
ling 'Our enemies The style Of BenOr-
ing personal Iiberfyn and private
rights" in the rebel confederacy, is pc
culiar to their eaders-Floyd and Ben
jamin for Misunderstanding all they can
lay hands on.
Jeff. closes his sacriligious address with
these words:
"And l do hereby invite the reverend
clergy and people of the Confederate
States TO repair TO RETROSPECTIVE places
of public worship, to humiliate themselves
before Almighty God, and pray for his
protection and favor 10 our beloved coun-
try, and that we may be saved from our
enemies and from the hands of all that
hate us"
To save such ~traitorous rebels as Davis,
Floyd, ToOmbs, Benjamin. s. Co., from
al their "enemies." and "all hat hate"
them, would be Of course superhuman f;
and we doubt even Almighty God" en-
tering upon the undertaking.

Gen. Hooker is confident that be will be able

In which he thanks him far his brilliant services
at the battle Of Antietam, and expresses regret
for the wound, says: know had you not been
struck you would have gained the main road
That main road was the only one upon which
the enemy could retreat-the one upon which
he finally did retreat-ani had it been gained,
he would have been intercepted. Itis Hooker's
opinion that the enemy have never been more
than eighty thousand strong In Maryland-not
even when reinforced by Jackson with thirty
thousand, after that General had taken Hsr.
per's Ferry.
Residents near the ford over the Potomac OF
which the rebels crossed, say that three or four

They are Still In Strong Force on
tho Potomac.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAcl
TUESDAY EVENING, Sep. 20.
Information received to-day from a soldier
who deserted from the rebels yesterday, shows
that their loss in general officers in the late
battles was greater than ours. Gen. Wright,
OF Georgia, wounded In two places; Brady, oi
North Carolina, killed; Lopgstreet, Woundedj
Maj ..Gen. Anderson, wounded; Gen. Collquit,
of Georgia, killed. The rebels admit their loss
to be twenty thousand at the battle of Antietam,
and thirty thousand since they entered Mary
land. An Alabama brigade, commanded by
Colonel Corning has not been able to muster
fifty men since the battle.
Residents In this section Of Maryland have
suffered terribly since ts occupation by the two
armies. In many cases families which few
days ago were in comfortable circumstances,
are now wanting the necesssries Of life. All
forage and fuel, and all subsistence used by
our army, Is promptly paid for. Claims of those
whose farms have been laid waste and buildings
destroyed during the battle, are referred 20 the
authorities at Washington for settlement
The movements of the rebels are mysterious
Military authorities here feel satisfied that the
whole rebel army ia on the opposite eide of the
Potomac. Information to that effect has been
received to day. Lee Ia also there. Their In.
tentons are not yet developed. An attempt ia
re-Occupy Maryland must be considered imprac-
ticable.
