attack on our right was desperate affair,
in which the rebels lost 5000 men, Our
loss was heavy.
Gen. Stoneman being cut off from the
right, had retreated to Yorktown, and ar

It is further stated that Nc Clellan, on
his left with severe fighting mad passed
through White Oak swmps with 10000
men and 1000 pieces Of artillery, to secure
an advantageous position; nd subsequent
ly cut through line of communication
with the James river.
1t is reported that during the two day 5
fighting McClellan's loss was 10000.

From Gen, coH's Army-.An Expedition

From Gen. COx's Army--An Expedition
Ageinst the Rebels.
From the correspondence Of the Cincin-
natl Gazette we learn that Col Crook, of
the 86th Ohio, stationed at Meadow Bluffs,
Va, having heard that the rebel General
Heath with a force of two to three thou
sand men, was a short distance beyond
Lewisburg, took force of about 1,750 men,
made up from the 86th, 44th and 47th Ohio
regiments, battalion Of the I'd Virginia
cavalry, and six pieces Of artillery, and
went in pursuit He started on Wednes-
day, the 25th The correspondent says:
Fearing that Gen. Heath would attempt
to retreat without risking a battle, we
marched around to the west of Salt Sui
phur, and then cut off his retreat toward
Mercer county, where Gen. Loring has a
force in front of Gen. Cox.
Thus cut of, he hurried east to Union,
and thence to the mountains directly south,
toward Salt Pond on the way to Dublin
Depot, on the Tennessee Railroad. His
scouts gave him prompt notice Of his COM
ing, but Notwithstanding lie left most pre-
eipitately, and his force was in a most de-
moralized condition. This flight has dis
gusted the rebel citizens Of Monroe. Gen.
Heath has claimed to be protector Of this
region against Federal invaders. At Lew
isburg he attempted to drive Col. Crook out
Of Greenbrier, and boldly gave him battle.
Col Crook defeated his greatly superior
force and utterly routed him. Now at Salt
Sulphur in Monroe county, he has refused
to defend his own camp and has sought
safety in a hurried fight. Not only are
the citizens disguised with him, but his
own army, made up largely from this re-
gion, is disgusted too. Another important
| effect Of this expedition viii be the relief
which it will give to the oppressed people
in that region. There is no probability
] that Gen. Heath will return to Monroe
county.
We have shown that we can march fear
lessly through all that section Of country,
and the oppressed will take courage, and
\ the Secession element will at once be put
upon its good behavior. We took several
j hundred fat cattle which Gen. Heath had
not time to drive away, besides a small
amount Of army supplies. The expedition
was admirably managed by Col. Crook,
who combines caution and boldness in a
very rare degree. We captured six rebel
prisoners. Our only loss was Carpel
Hewitt, of Company 1, Second Virginia
Cavalry. he was from HarrisonviIle
Meigs county, Ohio. He was shot by one
Of our own infantry pickets. 1t was o
most unfortunate accident.

It is well known that Mr.. Geo. Peabody
has pocketed half a million ofdollars the
past year in buying up American stocks
and bonds in London, and selling them in
New York. A London correspondent
writes to a friend in New York as follows
"a few months since, an American, who
had some knowledge Of his operations
said to him, why do you not buy United
States Securities 2 The reply was, moi
one dollar ofaiy money shall ever aid IN carry
tny on that uRholy Var' Now no one will
pretend to deny Nh. Peabody right to dis
pose Of hismoney in his own way; but lei
every American remember that in his
country great affection, this man cast the
same taunts in her teeth as her bitteresi
enemies"

Gen. ToOmbs and his Cotton.
From the Atlanta tGa.) Southern Confederacy.l

From the Atlanta tGal Southern Confederacy
j. GEN. TOOMB's COTTON CROP.
Some Of our contemporaries in South
western Georgia have been complaining
that Gen. Toombs has planted a larger cot
ton crop than usual, while many farmers
had planted none, and all Except a very
few had greatly reduced the number OF
acres usually planted by them. This evil
dence of patriotism on the part of cotton
planters is one Of the most encouraging
signs Of the times. A people who will
make such sacrifices can never be subdued.
Gen. Toombs, for some reason unknown to
US, has declined TO observe this rule so nigh
universal, and it has given great deal of
dissatisfaction. The papers have noticed
it, and condemned it very extensively-it
may be, hastily-we can't say; and the
committee of public safety in Cuthbert
have taken the following action:
/ WHEREAS authentic information has
been received that Gen. Robert Toombs, of
the c. S. A., Col A. P. Rood, and others,
owning large plantations on the Chatta-
hoochee river-inRuenced, as we believe,
more by avarice than patriotism, have
planted unusually large crops Of cotton,
thereby curtailing to that extent the pro
vision crop necessary for the support of
our suffering country; therefore,
ReSolped That Gen. Robert Toombs, Col
A. 2. Rood, and oil others who have fol-
lowed their pernicious example, be request
ed to withdraw all their available negro Ia
Dor from the cultivation Of their cotton
crops, and place it in charge of the commit
tee appointed to superintend the defenseof
the river. 5r1=-a
Resolpea, That although il may not ha
regarded as pertinent to objects for which
this meeting has assembled, yet we cannot
withhold the expression of our unqualified
indignation toward those who have reck-
lessly disregarded the wants and necessi-
ties of ourarmy-by planting more cotton
