"a DEADLY ENC0UNTER:-An extFaordlna-
ry disturbance arose 10 Edmonds' MeDagerie,
at Newcastle, on Saturday night. The exhi-
bition was closed, and the majority of the men
employed about the caravans had repaired to
their lodgings, at neighboring inn. A po-
liceman who was passing heard loud crash
in the caravan, which proved to be one occu-
pied by Bengal tiger, followed by she noise
Of severe struggle. In very short time the
men wero called from their lodgings, and hav~
ing obtained lights, about dozen of them en-
tered the meBageFie. Il was feared that the
tiger, which is known to be a most ferocious
beast, had broken through the bars II its cage,
and was at large 10 the area, but on approach
ing the caravan where it was usually confined,
the men saw that the enragcd animal had bro
ken through wooden partition into an ad-
joining cage, containing single panther, with
which it was engaged ina terrible combat
An iron bar was brought with view of driv-
ing him back into his compartment and rescu~
ing the panther from his clutches. These
means only exasperated the royal beast still
further, and after fearful fight of about ten
minutes duration, he succeeded 10 seizing
the exhausted panther by the throat in his
powerful jaws, and held him with bull dog
tenacify until he was quite dead. The tiger
then as if satisfied that his work was oomplet-
ed, walked quietly into his own compartment,
and allowed a new partition board 10 be thrust
between himself and the body of his vaDquish>
ed antagonist. The scsna is described as one
of grea. excitement among those who witness-
ed the encounter; but, strange to relate, not
WithstaDding the unusual disturbance among
their fellow prisoners, all the other animals il
the large collection lay perfectly qaict 10 their
cages. The panther, which was valued at
lO0 guineas, was taken out quite dead; aud
the tiger ia said to bo the animal that killed
lioness IN London some time ago.-.Aewcqstte

Our OF FUNDS. s.-We learn that the rebels
down about Bowlinggreen are SO poorly off for
money that even their Generals are unable to
pay their negro cooks aud washerwomen. Gen.
Hardee had 10 his employment negro wom4n
who, after cooking for him month, vent to
him.for her pay. He told her he had no mon
ey but would give her pass through the lines
so that she might come to Louisville to her
master. Some ladies from Nashville we're 10
Gen Hardee's camp on little visit, and on
their return to Nashville, they forwarded to
him bolt of flannel, which the negro woman
made up into shirts for him. Mon ey be had
none neither to buy clothing nor to pay bis
co oks.

WAR DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, Jan. IL, 1862.


Ny DEAR SIR: have the honor to as-
knowledge your favor of this date, aud to
thank you, with profound respect, for its kind
aud generous tone. When you we're elected
President, result to which contributed nv
best exertioDs, l had no thought OF leaving
the Senate Of the United States, or of acs
oePting any ofice within your gift But when
you invited nc to Springfield, Illinois, and
presented me the choice of one of two named
places IN the list Of your constitutional advi-
sers, l could not, for grave reasons, and after
great reflection, refuse trust so trying and
lahorous. Ny life'had been one of constau.
labor aud excitement. | looked to The Sen
ate as the best field, after such life, in
which to serve mY country and my State. 1t
was only when | realized that might be of
service to The general cause, in the darklI-
foreshadowsd future, that ventured to under-
take the manifold and various responsibilities
of the War Department. l felt, when / saw
the traitors leaving their seats in Congress,
aud when the Star Of the West was fred upon
an Charleston harbor, that a bloody coufict
was inevitable.
have devoted myself without interruption
to my official duties, and have given to them
all my energies | have done my best. 1t
was impossible, in the direction OF operations
so extensive, but that some mistakes should
have happened, and some complications and
complaints should have arisen. 10 view of
such Considerations, ! thank you for tho ex.
preston OF your confidence in my ability, pa
triotism, and fidelity TO public trust. Thus,
my own conscientious sense OF doing my duty
by the Executive and by ny country is approv-
ed by the acknowledged head OF the Govern
menI itself.
When became a member Of your Admiur
isiration ! sVowed ny purpose to retire from
the Cabinet as soon as my duty to my country
would allow me TO do so. 10 your letter of
this days date, so illustrative of your iust
aud upright character, you revive the fact that
some time ago expressed the same purpose
to you, aud 10 reminding me of this you prof
fer for my acceptance one of the highest di-
plomatic positions at your bestowaI, as an
additional mark Of your confidence and es,
TEEN.
10 retiring from the War Department.,
feel that the mighty army of The United States
is ready to DO battle for The CONSTITUTE on; that
1t is marshalled by gallant and experienced
leaders; that il is animated with the greatest
enthusiasm for the good cause, and also that
my successor 10 this Department is my per-
sonal friend, who uuites to wonderful intellect
and yigor, the grand essential of being in
earnest in the present struggle, AMI of being
resolved upon speedy and overwhelming tFi~
unph Of or arms. l therefore frankly ac-
cept the new distinction you have rendered me,
as soon as important aud long-neglecied pri-
Vate business can be arranged, will enter np
on the important duties Of the mission which
you have assigned me.
have the honor to be, my dear sir,

which itappears thar, having been reinforced,
he marched, on Thursday, at the head Of be-

and drove them irr double quick time towards

about twenty miles. But Zollicoffer's men
