Shooting of General Nelson;

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 29th:
At the Gait House, at about eight
o'clock this morning, difficulty occur
red between Brigadier General jeff. G.
Davis, and Major General Nelson. 1t ap-
pears that there has been difficulty be-
tween the parties for some time. Nelson
was in the office of the Gait House, when
Davis approached and spoke to him. Mel
son refused to listen to him, and passed
some insulting language. Davis imme-
diately borrowed a pistol, and followed
Nelson, who was going up stairs to his
room, and whilst on the stairs, shot him,
the ball entering the breast. Nelson af-
terwards walked to his room, and was
past eight o'clock.
There are many conflicting accounts of
the shooting of Nelson by Davis. About
a week ago Nelson placed Davis in COM
mand of the home guard forces Of the
city at night Davis reported to Nelson
the number of men working OH ehtrench-
ments and enrolled for service. Nelson
cursed him for not having more. Davis
replied that he was the general officer,
and demanded the treatment of gentle
man. Nelson, in an insulting manner
ordered him to report at Cincinnati, and
told him he would order the Provost Mar
shal to eject him from the city.
! This morning, Governor Morton and
General Nelson were standing near the
desk of the Gait House, when General
Davis approached and requested Coy
Morton to witness the conversation be-
tween himself and Nelson. He demanded
of Nelson an apology for rude treatment
he had received last week. Nelson being
a little deaf, asked him to speak louder
Davis again demanded an apology. Mel.
son denounced him, and slapped him on
the face. Davis stepped back, clinched
his fist, and again demanded an apology
Nelson slapped him in the face again, and
denounced him as a coward. Davis turned
away, procured pistol from a friend, and
followed Nelson, who was going uE
stairs. Davis told Nelson to defend him
self, Immediately firing. The ball pene
trated the left breast. Nelson died in
about twenty minutes.
| Nelson requested to see his old friend
Rev. Mr.. Talbot, rector of Calvary Epis.
copal church, who was then at the Gal
House. Talbot administered the sacra
ment according to the forms of hi:
church. The General repeated the service
after the minister, and refused to talk or
any other subject he regretted that he
had not long ago turned his attention te
religion.

Fights on the Mississippi.

HELENA, ARK, Sept. Efficiently an ex-
petition, consisting of the transports Icatan
and Alhambra, and the ram Queen of the
West, carrying about $50 troops and several
pieces of artillery, left Old Town and sailed
down the river as far as Union, forty miles be-
low the mouth of the Arkansas river. As the
expedition descended the river, it was fired
into by guerrillas at Prentiss, a town on the
Mississippi shore, opposite Napoleon, and at
Island No. 76, killing at the latter place four
of our men. The boats shelled the woods all
along the shore, but with what damage is not
known.
On the return trip a large force of guerrillas
numbering from 1900 to 1000, under General
Vilipigue, at Prentiss, occupied the shores,
and opened a brisk cannonade on the boats,
accompanied by voEeys of musketry. The
boats returned the compliment with shot and
shell, killing 81 of the rebels, and driving
them back into the country in the direction of
Bolivar, after which a part of our forces dis
embarked and bound the town.
The boats were completely riddled by mus
ket balls, and two six FOUNDER cannon shot
passed entirely through the cabin of the AL
hambra. Our loss was seven killed and sew
eral wounded.

Gen. Harvey had been relieved from the COM
mission, and that Col. Bonneville had been

the effect that Gen. McIIinstry purchased
mules, horses, and army supplies, from GER

Fort Morgan opened heavy fire upon the

New YORK, Sept. 28.-A special to the
Times. from Sharpsburg Friday, states that a
reconnaissance from ShepardStown to Har-

turned with thirty rebels, and Lieut.. Col. Lee,
of the 33d Virginia regiment, whom they cap
tured, also a large number of small arms.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 28.-The Americans
special from Sharpsburg says :-''Our loss in
killed and wounded, in the battle of Antietam,
will be fully up to 10000. The official figures
in two corps, Summers aud Hooker's, are as
follows Summers corps-officers killed Al,

ed 370S, missing 1853 total for the corps 500.
Hooker's corps-killed SO, wounded 500.

total for the whole corps 26l9.
Gen. Burnside's loss in killed and wounded.
will be about 1900. The total loss in these

in Gen. Franklin's and Gen. Banks corps,
now commanded by Gen. Williams, will bring
the casualties fully up to the total stated,
though there may be some considerable re-
duction in the number of missing.
Gen. Griffin, whose brigade pickets the riv-
er at Blackburn and Reynolds fords, oppo-
site, keeps strict watch on the rebels, and Is
active in accommodating the country along the
Virginia side of the Potomac. On Friday
morning a battalion of cavalry crossed and

Sheppardston.
Soon after boy appeared on the opposite
bank, shouting to our pickets not to fire. He
came over and said he had enlisted with the
rebels at Frederick, but becoming Disguised
with the service desired to come home. The
rebels he reported to be in strong force ten
miles back from the river. He also said that
Jackson had had his arm amputated in conse-
quence of wound received at Antietam.
These stories of rebel deserters are, however,
VIGOROUSLY unreliable.
On Thursday, at noon, Gen. Griffin in per-
son, with the 9th Massachusetts and the LIST
District of Columbia regiments, crossed the
river They threw out skrmishers, advanced
up the hill, and proceeding cautiously, passed
into the woods. Shortly afterward they sent
back piece of artillery and an artillery forge
which the rebels had left behind. They re-
manned over during the afternoon, but as there
was no firing, it is presumed they did not find
the rebels in force.

the rebel army, under IIindman aud Raines,

to believe he will be successful II they await
an attack. If they retreat, they will be driven
out of the state, and positions probably occu-
