an entire regiment of Curtis's army last

and sent North. Twenty eight thousand

The Mississippian has q letter from
Friar's Point. dated 18th. giving inter-
esting additional facts concerning our
victory near Helena. The following is
sn extract:
We have just received reliable inform
alton from Helena that lighting had COM
menced twenty. FIVE miles back of that
place. On Wednesday 500 Federals
were sent ont to drive back our advance.

and claim that they whipped our forces
back.

~ From current talk. and some per-
sopal observation, we are led to believe
that a new mosquito has been recently
invented in these parts. Whether he
has been patented or not we are unable
to say, neither have we seen any Of the
drawings or specifications upon which
the claim for a patent. or even the enter
ing of coveat could be based.
What is claimed as original in this
mosquito is the power he has of screw
ing his bill into the person operated up
on. so that if the victim wishes to remove
him. he must unscrew him. otherwise
the sting will be left in. to the great irrits-
ton of the cuticle. He has also the Pc
culiarity attributed to that Mexican bird
known as the Rhumtyephoozle. who
sticks his bill in the ground and whistles
his spurs. This mosquito while
his bill. and after it is screwed
in, sings Yankee Doodle. and other anti
Confederate airs through his hind legs,
So we have been informed and most po-
tently believe. If on the other hand he
we're operating on Federal prisoner, no
doubt the victim would fancy himself
listening to Dixie and other rebel mel
odies. He gives two to ten turns to the
screw. according to size, age and wicked
ness Wi,niuOkOn Journal.

Union Of the 10th inst, says, if the rebels in
Kentucky have any disposition to fight, and
wont shun an engagement, there will be q
great battle within three days; and it does
not fear the results, as the best divisions
and Generals in the Federal service are there
The Louisville Journal of the 18th says
the rebels have no present intention to at
tack Cincinnati, but that four heavy col
umns, including Bragg's, are advancing to-
wards Louisville. Notwithstanding this,
thousands of Federals are being sent from
Louisville to Cincinnati
