The Battle ON silver Creek.

A correspondent sends US the following &C.
count Of the battle on the Sth inst, at Roan's
lanyard, in Randolph county:
The rebels goo strong, under Col. Poindex-
ter, were posted in . very strong position on
Silver Creek, at Roan's lanyard, seven miles
south of Huntsville, and seven miles west Of
Renick, near the residence Of Joel Smith in Ran
dOlph county. The attack was made BY Col.
Hubbard, with 4S0 men, ut 4 o'clock, p. n, OF
Wednesday. The rebels made but feeble re.
sistance, owing to the want Of an efficient CON.
Mander. They we're routed completely, after q
Resistance Of only an hour. In their fight they
left everything most of them losing oyercoats.
guns, &c. Some Ofthe:r horses broke away and
others were cut loose, and but for the lateness
of the hour, the Federals might have secured a
large number of these animals. How many
prisoners and horses were secured have not
learned. The Federals burned the rebel camp.
Consisting OF los tents, 20 wagons, fonr, meal,
bacon and Nm immense number Of saddles.
bridles overcoats, carpet bags blankets, &C., to.
gether with 81 kegs Of powder. The iout was
the most complete ever heard Of. Three or
four Of the rebel captains could not tell where a
single man Of their commando could be found.
Col. Poindexter arrived here about eleven
O'Clock with only Z corpOrxls guard. His men
we're coming in all through the night in small
sqasds, and left in oil directions, except towards
the battle ground. They were tho most ptiable
looking set ever saw. Most of them were on
foot, whilst some rode without saddles or brides
They we're completely subGusd, detected and
hopeless. Tue most Of them made their way in
an easteily direction. They we're from the
counties Of Randolph, Boone, Howard, Audrain.
Monroe, Marion, Lincoln, Clark, Scotland, Knox
Shelby and Macon. Seven Of the severely
wounded represented seven different counties.
The Federal loss Was one killed on the field !:
MORALLY wounded one, (since died) and nineteen
slightly wounded. Rebel loss, seven killed on
the field, seven MORALLY wounded, and eight
severely. The number slightly wounded il not
known, and never will be, 40 every one that
could get away did so. Several we're seen seven
or eight miles from the battle field.
The above facts have obtained from some Of
our most reliable citixens Of both parties. who

NORTHERN PRIsoN PREFERRED TO A
SOUTHERN HoME.-The New York Tribune
says:
We understand that the prisoners of war at
Fort Warren are so well satisfied with their
condition there, and have so little stomach to
be further counted in" in the fight on the
Southern side, that from forty to fifty of them
have.voluntarily surrendered their right of ex-
change to others. 1t is to be hoped their e1-
ample will not generally be followed, for our
poor fellows at the South have no such wish to
remain in their present quarters.

ToRRE Del GREco.--In describing the
wreck OF matter and the crash of worlds
around the base Of Vesuvius, the correspond
ent OF the London Times speaks of his visit to
Tore Del Greco as follows:

uiar, the shell Of which was remaining intact.
while the interior had fallen in, and the mason
work projected through the open door. Just
outside the street had been thrown up by the
volcano action, and a crater was formed ten
PAINS IN diameter. stood on the edge and
Uokeo down. and saw that the geological for
nation was all of lava. the old laus of ,5aa

power, and that the actual city was built on

ence which appears like folly, the Inhabitants
