from the bluff before the town, threw /,
few shells into our works. After ths
third shell. the gun was dismounted
and the rebels retired. .l0'
During the engagement the cavalry
company was ordered to remain under
cover beneath the bridge, and took no
part in the conflict.
The rebels were estimat ed BY cap
tured officers aud men to be 5000
strong. Their loss will approximate
500 killed and wounded. Among them
is colonel of Mississippi regiment.--
The rebels engaged in burying the
dead stated to our men that they had
lost 600 men. The story Of the wound
ed Major is probably nearest the truth.
and 'it may be safely said that their loss
will reach that number.
Our loss was eight killed and twenty
wounded. Among the killed is Major
Abbott. Of the Sixty-seventh Indiana
regiment.
By a person who left Munfordville
late last evening. Col. Dunham sent
word that the rebel loss was over five
hundred. We have taken one hundred |
and ten stand of small arms, and two
pieces Of artillery--6-pounders.

the Indianians. under Which. have Ia
lisnians won the second battle OF Nun
fordville, and, in shedding lustre on the
national arms, added new honors TO the
State from which they hail. A des-
patch received at headquarters from
Munfordvllle, fully cOrroborates the ac-
,ount above. The despatch states that
he rebel loss is fully 700. Our killed
amounted to eight, including Major
Of the Sixty-seventh Indiana.

anon Junction.

WATER DRINKrNe.-Improper drink
ing of water has killed thousands.
There have been instances where thirs-
ty armies. after a long march, have
come to the river, when the men would
lie down on their faces and quaff an or
dinary quantity Of water with these re
suits: some died almost instantly, others
became crazy, and some staggered like
drunken men. Avoid drinking water
as much as possible. When you feel
very dry rinse the mouth with water,
but do not swallow it. Men when bea-
ted should not drink anything cold.
In a high state Of perspiration ice water
only aggravates the thirst. Drink slow
ly. A half tumbler of water will suf-
fee the thirstiest man in the world, il he
drinks Il By sips. Take from twenty
five to one hundred sips and swallow
each time-it will quench thirst better
than quart drank in the usual manner.
In fact it is almost impossible to set
down full glass of water in this man
ner.

The following good ones are told by
"Macll" the Corinth correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial:
Speaking of Confederate preachers, re-
minds me of what rebel officer told me
after the battle of Shiloh, about the Rev,
Gen. Bishop Polk. A paragraph has re-
Gently been going the rounds of the
Northern papers, to the effect that the
Bishop frequently violates the third Com
mandment In one of tho Union camps,
on the evening of the 9Th of April-the
first day of the battle-one of the rebel
officers picked up an old number of the
ST. Louis Democrat, with the following
announcement in il: 1T is said that
since the beginning Of the rebellion, Bish-
op Polk, OF Louisiana, has learned to
swear like a trooper" This was thought
to be good joke on the pious General.
The Democrat was handed to him by
member of his'stail, with the above par
agraph marked. The General read it
and laughingly remarked Its just like
these d--d Yankees TO slander their en-
emies, but I'll give them h-n before
they get done with me-

was heard as il from our pickets, a mile

Late rom Texas.

Late advices from Texas state that
there is strong and growing Union sen-
timent in that State, particularly in the
western portion, aud since the death Of
McCulloch the Texans are becoming
clamorous for peace on almost any terms.
Gen. Houston, il is said, is not a seces-
sionist but prudence compels him b
keep quiet. Allthat the Union men want
ls the presence of Federal force, when
they will openly ayow their sentiments.
II the war continues until the first Of Ju-
lyr starvation win force Texas 70 sue
cumb to the old government.
A recruiting officer for the COnlode-
rates lately made a speech 10 the North
western Texans, aud frankly told his
audience that he believed that the Fed
erals would take New Orleans and Mem
phis, and that they had the best armed,
equipped, aud disciplined army ia the
world.
President MncOln's emancipation mes
sage is fayorably spoken Of by many OF
the Union sIaye-holding citizens Of Tex
az, who express their belief that the war
will extinguish slavery In the Border
States, and perhaps throughout the entire
south.

On last Tuesday a strong party Of Fed
