The official report of Gen. MIIRoY Of
the battle of Bull Pasture Mountain is
published this morning. We also COM
plete the list of killed, wounded and
missing in the engagement.
We have private information from q
gentleman residing on the Cevington &
Lexington Railroad. about midway be-
tween the TIVE points, that never before
have the Secession sympsthizers in
that vacinity been SO bold and impu-
dent as now. Unless some influence is
500 brought to bear to compel them to
at least an outward decency, the Union
residents will be exposed to prosecu-
tious hardly exceeded by those which
their brethren in Tennessee and Vir-
ginia have been made to suffer.
It will be remembered that Commo-
dore FARRAeUT's squadron left Vicks-
burg on the 18th inst, as is supposed,
for Memphis. Rumors, which we are
unable to trace to any reliable source,
have prevailed that the latter city has
already been taken. Time enough has
elapsed for the advent of the gallant
Commodore at his destination, and we
trust soon to hear that the vilest hot
bed of treason in the West has been
purified by an infusion of the Union ele-
ment. 1t appears by our dispatches
that Fort Wright has not been evacua-
ted as was supposed. The rebels at
that point probably thought that they
might GO farther and fare worse, and
therefore concluded to remain where
they were. With FARRAGUT's gun
boats below, and Capt. DAVIS squad
ron above them, with no hope of es-
cape up the rivers which run through
Arkansas, since Gen. CURTIS force is in
that direction. they stand pretty fair
chance of capture whatever they may
do.
The Senate yesterday reached the
95th section OF the Tax bill.
The War expenditures of the Gov
eminent, since April, 1861, has not
averaged over one million per day
This is encouraging.
A letter from Newbern, N. c., of the
18th inst, which will be found in an
other place, is a significant indication
of the progress of Union sentiment in
the Old North State. The writer pre-
diets that by the 4th of July North
Carolina will be legislated back into
the Union. The members Of the State
Convention which has recently been in
session at Raleigh, we're chosen in Feb
ruary. 1861, by an aggregate Union
majority of $4,000. When elected
they stood "a Union men 10 So Seces-
sionists. The Convention did not meet
because the people decided at the time
that no Convention was needed. The
late Governor ELLIS and the traitors
who swayed the Legislature, however,
thought differently, and ordered an
other election, by which a Secession
Convention was chosen by small
vote, and this latter body fulfilled the
object for which it was called into be-
ing, by involving the State in the guilt
of Secession.
Our correspondent, writing from
Gen. Fremont's headquarters, on the
18th, reports a discouraging condition
of affairs, as to transportation. The
troops were without bread. Provisions
had to be hauled seventy miles, over
poor road, and there were not wagons
enough to do the work.
Our reports from Columbus show
that a correspondence is likely TO be
opened promptly, between the Old and
New School Assemblies.
There was a report in the General
Assembly at Columbus, yesterday, to
the effect that Richmond bad been ta-
ken and JEFF. DAVIS captured. The
members made merry over it. They
clspped their hands and shouted, even.
One venerable member said he hoped
the rope manufactured to hang jeff,
would not break. OF course the report
was a canard. That Richmond will
soon be taken, we do not doubt, but
JEFF Davis will run before the happen
ing of the event. o1flFE3
Yesterday was election in Virginia,
where Governor, Lieut. Governor,
Attorney-General and county officers
were chosen. Gov. PIERPoNT, Lieut.
Governor P0BsLET, aud Attorney -Gea-
eral WHEAT, were candidates for re-
election. There was no opposition
ticket. The Legislature in session at
Wheeling adjourned last week, to meet
next session in Richmond, which the
Intelligencer hopes will be soon,
An election was also held in Tennes-
see yesterday, for Judge OF the Circuit,
Criminal and Chancery Courts. and
for Supreme Judges, wherever vaean-
cies exist. The Nashville Union,
which speaks the sentiments of Cover
nor JOHNSON assures all enemies Of the
Union that it is utterly idle for them to
base any hopes upon this election, and
that under no. state of case will any
offices be suffered to pass into the
hnnds tnf dislnral rnan or men Win
