Rebel accounts of the affair at Chattanooga saw
that the enemy opened their batteries with shot

struck.

This famous rebel partisan, who was
killed near Union Church, Virginia, seems
to have been different man from most Of
the enemy's leaders: ~
at should be written to his immortal
honor that Col. Ashby never approved the
barbarities with which the rebels have dis
graeed their warfare. His manly nature
reYolted from such crimes After the bat
tie Of Bull Run he addressed his soldiers,
telling them that no brave warrior would
take advantage of PROSTATE and helpless
foe. At Front Royal, before he was hurt,
he entered the hospital where the Federal
wounded were and expressed his earnest
sympathy with them, assuring Col Ken1y
of his personal consideration and pledging
him the kindest treatment When rendered
helpless himself, and riding in an ambu-
lance after his regiment, he saw Maine
soldier lying by the roadside, and told his
driver to see whether he was alive or not
The driver reported that the soldier was
dead Ashby then directed the body to be
removed and covered with brush in order
that it might not be disturbed by animals,
saying, ''Det US remember that even ou1
enemies we're men"
So says an exchange, and the tribute is
doubtless deserved. Riding from Balti-
more to Washington a few weeks since, the
writer heard from a highly educated and
refined Methodist circuit preacher, who's,
field of labor was formerly about Manas
sas, strasburg, Winchester, &C., many per
sonaI "reminiscences Of prominent men il
that region, among whom were Col. Dicl
Ashby and his father, whose personal char
acter was spoken Of in terms of high ant
honest commendation.

The atrocities of the Arkansas rebels are
almost beyond belief. A correspondent of
tha St. Louis Democrat, with Gen. Curtis
army, writing from Batesville, Ark, on the
7th inst, says that the rebel authorities at
f" Bayou Metre, sixteen miles from Little
Rock, hung six men who refused to obey
the conscriptiOn act. He also learns from
the Rev James LOnghilridge, well-knOwn
Presbyterian minister, that on or about
the 2Sd Of last April, Messrs. shultz and
Reed, ministers of the Christian order,
were taken from their own premises, on
Rolls Ridge, Benton county, Arkansas,
conveyed to the woods in the night, and
killed. They had just returned from Cass-
vile, and were Union men. About the
18th of May, Mr.. Neal was shot in his
own house, near Fayetteville, and died in
three hours. He was a Union man, and
had adhered to the Methodist Episcopal
Church when it split. A report came to
Huntsville, about the 18th of May, that
four men, all adherents of the old Method
ist Episcopal Church, and some of them
ministers, were killed near Fayetteville,
and other men of the same sentiments
were threatened.
In the fall of 1861 in Van Buren, coun-
ty, twenty-seven Union men, and persons
unwilling to take up arms, were chained
together by the neck, and in Searcy coun-
ty eighty-three were served in the same
way, and in this manner taken to jail
where they were kept nearly six months.
These statements are authenticated by the
afidavits of the men so punished.

TIE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR ENEMIrs.-ln an a,

TIE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR ENEMTrs.-ln an ar ticse in the St. Louis Republican, of the 9th inst. in relation to Gen. Curtis, we learn that, in the early part of October, it was in contemplation to attack Little Rock, but that Gen. Steele was or dered to Pilot Knob, to repel supposed invasion of Mo. The Republican gives these figures:
 About the time of Gen. Steele's withdrawal, Gen. Holmes was at Little Rock with about two thousand men and Daniels and Woodruff batte- ries. Gen. Hindman was at Austin, twenty five miles north, with five thousand men and one bat tery. Gen. Roane was at Pine Bluff, fifty miles southeast of Little Rock, with five thousand men. including two regiments of conscripts, one of which was unarmed, and one battery. Gen. McRae was at Arkansas Post thirty miles from the mouth of the Arkansas river. Gen. Rains was at Gross Follows with four or five thousand men, mostly conscripts. There were also small forces at Crys tai Hill, twenty miles above Little Rock, and Ar kadelphia, one hundred miles southwest Of that ph0e There were about two thousand at Bates vile, only fifteen hundred of whom were effective, and altogether there were not more than six thou sand, hardly more than one half of whom were effective, that could be all considered in threat ening attitude towards southeast Missouri.

Who could not bear tolls, trouble and death itself for the protection of such ladies. Again tender them our thanks and best wishes, hoping speedy and honorable peace will restore us to our families, and we can only say, we will try, to do our duty as Texians.
 We have been under the immediate command of Maj. Gen. Hindman for some months, and can cheerfully say to friends at home, the better we have known him the better we have loved him. He has energy coupled with capacity that fully qualities him for leader. All have unlimited confidence in him as a man and general, he won me on sight So am, Gas well as this brigade a Hindman man, he sees things clearly and quickly, and acts promptly.
