Colonel Lightburn gave the citizens OF
Charlestown one hours notice in which

Refugees say our troops marched

towards Elk river in admirable order,
with bands playing, and formed in line
of battle as if on dress parade. -rv

A Bitter Fight.

New YORK, Sept 16.-The following
is an account of the gallantry of two
Ohio regiments, by which in one. bril-
liant charge over 200 prisoners were cap
tured:
1t seems that one of the N. c. brigades
had been badly cut up by some Ohio
regiments. The latter suffered severely,
when probably burning with revenge,
while their foes were engaged with other
regiments, they silently crept forward to
stone wall, The other side of which a
skirmish was going on, and opened a
CALLING fire upon them. The 18th and
I'D Ohio were ordered to charge them,
aud mounting the wall For few mo-
ments, desperate fight took place the
18th Ohio being engaged with the 18th
N. c., and the 23d Ohio with the 23d N.
C..
The fight soon terminated in favor of
the gallant Ohio regiments, the enemy
scattering in great confusion. These
regiments surrounded and captured 100
rebels who belong to the 18th and 23d
Moth Carolina, and 12th Virginia. Gen.
Garland, commanding these troops, was
| instantly killed by she'll which struck
him on the head.

From the south.

MEMPHIS, Sept. 13.-The Evening Bull
letin has the following in relation to the
Coldwater affair:
On Monday last Col. Gnerson, with
$40 men, came up with the enemy be-
yond Coldwater, near Cockran's Cross
Roads They were q portion OF. Jack
son S Cavalry, and a number of infantry,
amounting to about 800 They were
well posted and commenced the attack,
but were driven D miles through heavy
timber In the affair four of the enemy
were killed and 20 or so wounded. That
night Grierson encamped between Cross
Roads and HERNANDEZ and remained
during Wednesday. The next morning
he moved, in the direction of Coldwater,
and came on the enemy pickets at
Goldwater4 Bridge, behind which they lay
in force. They fred the bridge and
moved off, but the bridge was so far say
ed that after some repairs the federal
force crossed, the enemy retiring as they
advanced, and Grierson entered Cam
otobia, where he burned the Railroad
depot and contents and three cars. Scat
tered parties of gnerrillas were also
overtaken and dispersed. While these
events were proceeding the main body Of
fedsfals under Gen. Smith destroyed the
railroad bridge beyond fernando, and
tore up portion of the track, by which
means the railroad connection of the
enemy with fernando is destroyed.
