ANOTHER MONSTER UP THE 1AZOO.-1 he
Vicksburg correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune
says much fear is entertained at Yazoo river, from
whose womb has already been brought forth one
monster. The Star of the West, of historic fame,
developing the treachery of the Federal govern
ment and afterwards captured off Galveston by
the Confederates, is up this river. She is iron
plated, and armed with % pieces Of heavy caibre.
The rams Webb and Sumter, armed with guns
brought from New Orleans ust before the capture,
are there too and the Confederates have also &c
steamers, which the Federal fleet are prevented
from approaching by impediments in the river, a
land battery, and fear of the three Confederate
war steamers
CONFEDERATE SToCKs.-In this market says
the Richmond Examiner, confederate stock re-
mains unchanged since the great battles of June
and July
But from gentleman recently arrived from
abroad we learn it is worth eighty in London and
eiehtv-fve at Nassau. The great impending bat
tie soon to be fought beyond Gordonsville will
doubtless affect this stock abroad than at
home.
DEATH OF Hon. WARREN WINsLow-Many
of our citizens were startled on Saturday morning
last by the announcement that this distinguished
member of our community had departed this life
during the previous night. He had been for many
months In WreIcncu health, DuI nau SO lar TallleQ
as to be ia the streets occasionally during the last
month or two, and hopes had been INDUCED of his
recovery. We suppose, therefore, that the sum-
mons came suddenly. He was, we think, about
So wears of age; was gentleman Of decided abil-
itv, of highly cultivated mind and of more than
ordinary conversational powers. He had been a
leading Member of the Bar, Senator in our State
Legislature, Speaker Of the Senate, and by virtue
thereof Govrnor of the State for short period,
the election of Gov. Read to the u. S. Senate;
afterwards for four years Representative in the U.
S. Congress from this District, and member of the
State Convention from Cumberland and Harnett.--

THE ENEMY's Loss IN THE CEDAR RUN
FIGHT.-We have already stated that the Yam
KEGS sent flag of truce, on Saturday, to ask per-
mission to bury their dead. 1t was granted, and
the battle ground became neutral. large num-
Der of Confederate and Yankee officers met and
conversed pretty freely about matters and things
in general, and the late battle in particular. The
Yankees say that Banks commanded, and express
their opinion quite freely to his incompetency
indeed it is said to have been quite amusing to
hear some of the remarks made OF this would be
Yankee hero by some of his followers. The Yam
kee Major General Augher, was shot In the left
breast, and mortay wounded, and Gen. Gary was
wounded in the arm. The Yankees acknowledge
that they had over 500 killed, including many Of
fcers, and one of their surgeons unlntentlonally
let it out that l $50 wounded had already been
moved from the field. From their own statement,
the Yankee loss was hardly short OF 5000. Our
loss was little over one hundred killed, and be-
tween 500 and 600 wounded and missing.-Rtch-
