The lo6th at the Perryville Fight.

The Louisville Journul, in speaking oI
the Perryville fighi, says:
As the details of the impetuous attack
of the rebels upon our troops at Perryville,
on Wednesday, and the noble resistance
made by the divisions of Gen. Rousseau
and Gen. Jackson, under Maj. Gen. Nc.
Cook, come to hand We are inclined to
believe that it was among the most bril-
liant affairs OF the war. McCook. with
his two divisions, withstood the combined
assault Of two rebel army corps under
HarGee and Polk, and there was very hard
fighting done. Rousesu's division COW
cred itself with fresh laurel's and contested
every inch manfully. Unfortunately, Gen.
Jackson was killed within FIVE minutes Of
the first attack, and his fall produced
some confusion among his raw troops,
but the IO5th Ohio, 98th Ohio and
l 9th llinoiss conducted themselves with
veteran GOODNESS. The "fghting Nc
Cooks"-the General, Dan and John
all escaped unharmed, Capt. Bonnefred,
of General McCook's staff. was wounded.
but Jas, P. Collier, W. L. Hoblitzell, and
the rest Of the military family, are safe.

From the Hartford Times1
n

In New Hartford, on Monday evening at ak
O'Clock, three boys went in bathing, in the Far
mington river above the large dam of the
Greenwood Co g Mile, and one OF them, lad
of eleven years, getting close upon the dam,
was drawn under by suction into a hole in the
dam. This hole Gan accidental oue) was bare
ly large enough to admit the lads body, but he
was drawn into it and disappeared. The other
boys became frightened and ran home, keeping
the loss OF their companion a secret, for fear Of
consequences to themselves. The next day a
search was made; his clothes were found on
the bank, and the liver was thoroughly dragged, !,
to no purpose On Wednesday morning the
boys were forced to tell where the lad was =
At once 1t was resolved to take up portion of
the dam This was done, and under the dam
the boy was found Gius. He was perched on
the timbers Of the dam, the water up to bis
thighs. He was deliriOus, and was 90 weak
that he had to be carried home, wrapped in
sheet He says he has DO recollection of any
thing except that he found himself climbing up
the frame work of the dam in the dark; and it
kept dark all the while he was there. He says
he cried and shouted all the while through the
whole Of it He must have fallen some dist.
ance when he was drawn down.

A friend of ours travelling up the North river,
in company with several wounded soldiers Of
the army of the Potomac, says that they were
very cheerful, and expressed the hope that their
wounds would soon be healed sufficiently to al
low of their return to their regiments. They
were in fact full of enthusiasm in the cause OF
their country. Their attachment to General
Mcclellan amounted almost to idolatry. Num-
berS of them took the cars at Albany for their
homes, Shortly after leaving Albany, a talka-
tive passenger was rejecting strongly upon
what he thought the tardiness of General Nc.

declared that no man should speak disrespect-

"lt is stated that rations and pay are drawn
