From the Sd Cnvairy.-Wo have been

Ohio Cavalry, to his wife, in this city. which
gives an account Of where the Sd Cavalry Is
aud what it has been doing as also an &c.
count Of what the writer saw of the battle Of
Shiloh. HsgiveS the following account Of
n little chase they had:
"At O'Clock on Saturday moruiag we
were apprised Of the fact that some two or
three hundred rebel cavalry had hoistcd the
seeesh flag, Mt Lawrence co., some fifteen
mlles Oft. Three companies Of us started on
to rout them and have the fun of pu ling
down the ssccsh rag. Arriving in town at
full gallop, with drawn sabres, and yelling
more like demons from the in fernal world than
civilized men, frightening the poor negroes
and few white women, that had some conf.
dence in those despsed Yankees. Bnt to
our deep modification the rebels had left
half an hour previous. On looking south. .
ward we deserted them on n full run over the
hills. Then the chase set in in earnest, ey.
cry man straining his horso to the utmost
We pressed them hard though their horses
were fresh. We came close enough TO ex.
changeA few shots, when they broke and fed
IN every direction. their Coils horse being
shot. We afterwards found his sabre where
his horse fell. We took seven prisoners and
eleven horses Returned to town, captured
other secreted rogucs aud any amount Of
stores, with II 900 hama.
Opened this mornings mail .rifled the post
Office, and did many things that day that wrs
serious as well as laughnbls."
On Sunday they heard the roar Of cannon
aud started for Savannah, but when they ar.
rived there they were not permitted to take
part in the fight.
They are now securing the country in the
direction Of COrinth.
lie sends home some heads OF cotton with
the seeds that he pulled of in one Of his sx.
eursions. He gives a lengthy account Of
what he saw nt the battle of Shiloh. but We
