My Dear SiT: l have read with much in
terest ell the correspondence from the disu-
nited States, and have come to the conclusion
that the wsr will break down in the North for
the want Of fund.-. There's a most important
article in the Times again, that has arrived
this morning. GEd the Confederate Generals
are very much blamed for not having captured
Washington that Sunday evening. President
Davis, instead Of returning to Richmond,
might have suppsd and slept in the White
House. hope you Southerners will not allow
the Northern army TO be recognized, but
cannot account for the inactivity Of the Con-
feds!ate Generals. You will be laughed at if
you do not advance l am sure RusseIl's let
teTs will create great sensation in the South

Fly Deer Mr.. King After much peril in
the ice, but otherwise an agreeable passage, /
arrived yesterday at Quebec. and thence last
evening to this place. To my great relief and
pleasure net here Mr.. D. +. Brisbie, of Nor
folk. Va, who brings me late tidings Of my
family, who were, thank God, well ten days
ago.
Mr. Brisbis goes out, az you did, with the
confidence Of hi State, and with not altogether
dis=imilar views. / beg to commend him to
you most cordially as a gentleman worthy in
III respects Of your confidence, conference and
personal esteom. By the way, as I hare writ
ten thus much, recollect that be told me he
was acquainted with you and will only add,
therefore, that Mr.. Brisbie is a member of the
Virginia Legislature, and one Of the most
active and intelligent promoters Of direct trade
IN our State. have told him of your tyemsn-
d0uS pamphlet, and / have taken the liberty
20 promise him that you would read il to him.
He will take to you most interesting intelli-
genee from the South. We have whipped the
scoundrels in three instances, and, what is
worse for them, though better for US, we hayo
proved already their utter inefieiency to cope
with Us. Not the least gratifying element is
the threatening aspect Of England and the
United States, or rather the rotten Govern
ment at Washington. God grant that it may
blow their blockade sky-hjgh. II he does
this / will forgive him a load Of his self
eonceit, arrogance, and hollow philanthropy
1T find an opportunity 1 will write you
after my arrival in Richmond
Till then, and always with high respect and
esteem, your sincere friend, BEv Tucker.
y. B.-The Government ia at Richmond,
and shall not have to go to Montgomery If
your SOILS happen TO be there will see them
at once, and be kind 10 them. BIT.
HOTEL RoYALE, DIEPPE, THURSDAY.
My Dear Mr.. Rizg / was very glad TO
hear from you and to read the good news in
the papers. lean do nothing about the Times,
except point out to you that you had better
visit the Times correspondent in Paris, Rue
Lepeletier. l gave you letter to him, if you
remember.
You must allow that al NY predictions have
been verified. 1t will, think, be all over in
January az the latest; oaly, l wish they would
sake Washington; but l suppose they wish to
make sure OF Missouri, Kentucky and TsZnes-
see FIRST, and IN thar they are right should
not wonder u the Western States secede, and
that " Maine" j1ins Canada. Did you leave
your letter with Sir G. Wood

GS@Many persons from the surrounding
towns, and from our neighboring State,
Kentucky, now visit Evansville to purchase
dry goods, &C.; as they find that our mer-
chants sell goods much lower than they
can buy them at home-for instance in
the article of clothing. Gentlemen have.as-
eertained that they can visit Lyon's,a and buy
ready made, much finer, better fitting,
more fashionable and durable suit, than
they can buy at home; and that goods can

in the battle of Donelson. But this was q
greater than DoueIson, and consequently q
more terrible ordeal in which to test what
may be a thing of glory or shame-the
courage of an untried regiment. How well
they all behaved, sum up in the boast
not man, officer or soldier. hinched-none
but the wounded went to the Landing.
Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, and Nebraska will
be proud of the steadfast Third Division
and so am I.
Captain Thompson and Lieut.. Thurber,
and their officers and men, have airesdy
been spoken of.
NY Acknowledgements are again given
the gallant gentlemen of my staf-Captain
Fred. Knefer. and Lieutenants Ross and
Ware. To them add Captain E. T. Wal
lace, of the 18th Indiana volunteers, act
ing Aid. The courage and judgment of
ali of them were many times severely tried.
After the battle of Donelsen, took
pleasure in honorably mentioning two of
my Orderlies; one of them, Thomas W.
Simpson, of company I, 4th United States
Cavalry,I again call attention to his GAL
lantry, as deserving reward. Along with
him l place Albert Kaufman, Sergeant An
the same company, who was of great SER
vice to me, and has every quality that goes
to make practical officer.
Finally, it is so rare to find one Of ais
grade in the constant and full performance
Of his peculiar duties, that, as matter of
| justice, passing tribute is due the Rev.
John D. Rogers, chaplain of the 23d Indi-
ana. After the battle he was unwearied in
his attention to the wounded, and that the
resting places of the dead Of his regiment
might not be forgotten, he collected their
bodies and buried them tenderly, and with
prayer and every religious rite, and in this,
as far as my knowledge goes, he was as
singular as he was christian.
Herewith you will find statement OF
the dead and wounded of my Division.
Very respectfully, sir, your ob't serv't,

CAPTUEE or THE ALFRED RoRB.-A Ten
nessee river pilot, who appears to be a wide
awake fellow gives an amusing account of
the manner in which the rebel steamer
RObb was captured by our gunboats.
1t seem government steamer, heavily
laden with government stores in vending
her way up the river, got aground. News
of this mishap quickly reached the confed-
crates, and about 200 of them took posses
sion of the Robb, put light field piece on
board, and started down the little stream
in which she has been concealed since the
fret expedition of our gunboats up the Ten
nessee river, for the purpose of bagging
rich prize. The Robb arrived in the vicin-
ity of the federal transport, still hard
aground, after night. The soldiers were
concealed in the thickets, on shore, and
the little privateer hunting q snug
resting place, quietly awaited the approach
of daylight for the consumamtion of her
intentions.
During the night, couple Of the gun
boats-regular night hawks, they do most
of their going after dark-possi by suspi-
cioning mischief, came sneaking up the riv-
er. One of them anchored short distance
below where the Robb was concealed and
the other passing up on the opposite side
Of an island in the river, was not detected
by those on board the RObb, and going up
the river short distance she, too, came to
anchor and awaited daylight.
ConceiYing the coast to be clear, early
the next morning the Robb started out to
take possession of her prize. Before
reaching ii, however, one of the "Lincoln
sneaks," as they are called in Dixie, was
discovered creeping after her. Greatly
alarmed the little rebel steamer turned her
head up stream and went off spluttering
and putting at an alarming rate. The gun
boat paid the usual compliments of the
morning, by sending a couple of shells,
which exploded near the skedadling little
steamer, to which it, lacking in politeness,
paid no attention beyond raising more
steam and putting with; more vigor. Ronud-
ing an abrupt bend in the river, all on
board the rebel craft were horror-struck at
finding themselves Immediately under the
broadside of another gunboat, which ap-
peared to be coolly awaiting their approach.
Though surprised, the party on board the
Robb did not lose their presence of mind,
and, as if by instinct, every man on board
seized table cloths, towels, and what
ever other white substance on which
they could lay their hands, and waved them
With frantic vigor, amidst despairing
shouts of ''don't shoot, we surrender" ~
The gunboat didn't shoot and directing
the rebel steamer to follow In her wake
quietly made her way to headquarters,
wAYeTE File tko66 was the last rebel craft in ,ba
Tennessee, and we doubt not the gunboats
will take care that many years will eIapse
before flag hostile to the general govern
ment is ever again spread to the breeze on
that beautiful stream.
