HEADQUARTERS FIRST GRAND DITIsIOy, :
AItAIY OF THE MISSISSIPPI

HUMBOLDT TENN March IL lcb2.
EDITORS APPEAL: Above you have the re-
port Of Gen. Halleck to Gen. Mcclellan, of what
he calls the capturing of Columbus. do not
wish to suggest that Gen. Halleck has meant to
say what was not strictly true for my knowl-
edge of that officer forbids such an intimation;
but for the truth of history-whieh is being
made very rapidly just now-I feel called on to
say. nevertheless, that the last paragraph of his
report is a mere fable, entirely destitute of truth
Every gun from the fort was shipped before
the evening of the lst. During Saturday night
the last gun from the water batteries was put on
board the steamer Victoria, and on Sunday
morning the % of March, the last gun from the
river front was shipped on the same boat
Having been directed by Gen Polk on Sat
urday evening, to superinteud the shipment Of
the few remaining pieces of heavy artillery ]
speak knowingly when / affirm that every gun
at Columbus save two smOOth-boTe 3 s, in a re-
mote outwork, and FIVE small and Indifferent
carronades, was saved These were all spiked
and rendered valueess. Over one hundred
pieces Of ordnance weIe taken from the post
The entire value of every article belonging TO
the gov ernment, found by the enemy at COlUm-
bus, was very irconsiderable II consisted
chiefly Of few shot and carriages for heavy
guns
The Cthcor making the report to Zen. Hal
leck, on which his dispatch to his chief is based,
has simply said what was false, for which Gen.
Halleck may not be held responsible.
The preliminary steps towards the evacuation
Of Columbus were taken by Gen. Polk, unde'
an order from the War Department, on Tues
day, February 25th, by sending off the sick, but
the work not fairly commenced until the
25th
The removal Of accumulations IN the shape of
supplies of every kind, for a large army for eight
months, amounting to millions of dollars, was
completed on the ID. At 3 p NJ of which day.
the army having marched, the General with his
| staff and guard of cavalry, left the town.

! guard Of the enemy (our army, Genoral Hal
| eclI has been equally unfortunate, since it ap-
/ pears from his own dispatch, that his cavalry
made their appearance and effected the captuTe() ,
of the "boasted Gibraltar at g p NJ, on the Sd,
more than twenty -four hours after those who Lad
built it, and awaited his coming in vain for six

The Fieht on tl,o Tennc..ee River.

A member Of the 18th Louisiana reg ment fur
nishes to the New Orleans Picqyune the follow
ing narrative of the ghJ in which that corps en-
gagged with the enemy's black gunboats:
Pittsburg consists of three log houses and a
pig sty and is situated on both sides of the road
which runs down between two very high hills to
the river, making the only landing on this side
of the river for several miles up or down. Hence
No. ! is Cor was) on the bluff close 10 the edge :
No. about one hundred yards back on the road
both on the left side-and No on the edge Of
the bluff about two hundred yards to the right Of
the road
At y o'clock, on the Ist, the Miles artillery
arrived and had got two OF their gieces into posi-
ton, when the smoke Of two gunboats coming
up was discovered. The artillery commenced
firing at long range.
Our line Of battle was formed at our camp,
almost four hundred yards from the river We
were marched across the road and tOok position
in a valley, the shot and shell raining over our
heads, and cutting the tree tops ali around us
just as we got 10 the road the rear of the line
was halted to allow the Miles artillery to pass in
full retreat Our regiment was nothing daunted,
however, and looking round at my boys 1 could
not see d lip quiver or a cheek blanch We
were marched under the irsn rain to our position
in the ravine and waited there for nearly two
hours, watching tue iallug Tree tops and getting
used TO the music of the shells
Our colonel thinking We were too much ex-
posed, ordered us over the hin into the next ra-
vine, and here our first man was wounded
Lieut. Watt-who was struck with an iron ring
of a grape stand, which had glanced from a tree,
bruising his leg very severely, but did not pre-
vent him from following up the fight
The enemy had now landed, finding that our
artillery was silenced, and had taken possession
of houses one and Two, the first of which they
set fire to. Orr colonel gave the order, For
ward, charge" and with whoop and yell for
ward we went.
We had 10 cross three hills before we came in
sight Of the enemy, and when I rose the bare
bluff there lay the two black rascals, blazing
away at US, their launches crammed with men,

The 1HcDOnogh Estate ia New OrIeaHs
The CreseenL, Of Saturday, SAYS.


The present position Of affairs is entaiing
some extreme hardShps and Inconvenience on
many parties particularly those who are in
debted to the McDonogh estate, the share Of
which falls to the city of Baltimore. The notes
for the purchase of the landed property Of this
estate are placed for collection in one Of our
banks. They were placed there before the se-
cessiom of the South. The custodian of these
notes, that is the bank, declines to receive even
coin for the payment, to be answerable for de-
livery or placing in the city Of New York. tits
authorized to receive checks on New York pro-
vided it viii assume tha goodness thereof, and
account -nd hold itself responsible to the city
of Baltimore for the same. This is asking too
much making too great a demand on the hber-
atty of the bank in question, which charges
nothing for collecting the notos. But a broader
view Of the question is to be considered, in
which the C0nfeie government must be
brought in gJ party.
The city Of Baltimore may, from the general
action of its authorities, be considered in the
light of an alien enemy 1t, therefore, follows
that all the notes of the McDonogh estate
should 60 into the hands of the receivers, aud
debtors make their payments to them, receive
their notes aud have the mortgages erased from

WILMINGTON, March 17.-Further details Of
the battle at Newbern have been received. The
reports vary materially in details, but the most
apparently reliable are that our forces consisted
Of five skeleton regiments of infantry, a few
artillery companies, and battalion of cavalry
which came in time to cover our retreat.
The force of the enemy was 22,0OO with for
midable gunboats on our flank, and formidable
field batteries in front, with a heavy reserve.
Our entire force was about 5000
Our troops held their ground five hours,
when the militia FIRST gave way. Our loss in
killed and wounded from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty, the enemy's loss variously
stated from five hundred to one thousand. The
only troops engaged were from North Carolina.
Col. Avery and Majer Hokeboth were killed.
Lieut. Col Haywood not killed. as formerly re-
ported.
A flag of tuce has gone down. and win re-

From the New Orleans Crescent -tJ
We have received from Tennessee q Minnie
rife musket, captured last Sunday, the 9lh in Z
skirmish which occurred some eight miles from
Nashville. A party offOrty men OF SCOTS regi
ment, commanded By Capt Scott, started from
their encampment at 4 O'Clock in the morning
aud in an hours time came upon body of the
enemy encamped in a field. As the field was
enclosed with a stone fence our men dismOunt
ed and leaving their horses in charge of a squad
ot fifteen men, climbed the fence and advanced
ON foot. TIE enemy were just calling the roll
and at tine first rifle shot were seized with a
panic They were a hundred and forty in num-
Der, as was ascertaiEed from the number of their
tents, and the roll or some other document found
yet fed in the widest dismay from twenty-five
of our men.
We are informed by participant in the con
dct that the officers were he first to tly seizlng
the wagon horses and apPropriating them with
out ceremony. Only two or three men made a
stand. and they were all killed. One Of them,
however, killed two of our men first. He took
a stand behind beech tree and fired twice as our
party advanced, killing a man with each shot
Tie then attempted 20 escape, but was shot
through the head and instantly killed l. is his
musket which we have received as mentioned
above and with which, we hope, if occasion Of
lers, good execution viii YET be donei in the ranks
OF the enemy, ~ retaliation for the fatal accuracy
with which ID was used on our brave men Some
thirty other rifles were captured, but owing to
the urgency of the occasion, were burned
In the meantime sixteen Of the enemy were
Overtaken by the swift eaden messengers. and
counted dead on the field. Many more, Of course,
were wounded, and some Of them must have
subsequently died, as the Nashville papers re-
ported the loss Of nineteen. The rest escaped to
q body Of troops two miles of, several thousand
strong, and returned with supports enough to
carry off their killed. They did not attack our
men, however
Accompanying the musket is a cartridge box,

is also a hayersack- marked with the name-al-
