FEDERAL YICTORY-

The Both Illinois was commanded by Mai.
Warren Shedd, the Goth Illinois, command
ed By Captain Frisley, Section 2, Reeces
gunboat artillery, commanded by Captain
Foster. Colonel Dennis struck tenIs this
morning, August 3lst destroying such
stores and baggage as they were unable to
carry, and marched to within twelve miles
of this post when he was met by an order
from me directing him to march for Men
don Station, to intercept the enemy near
that point Dennis countermarched his
command, arriving in the vicinity of Dem
mark that night
About 10 clock A. NJ, Sept. lst, his ad-
vance guard reached the enemy in strong
force at Briton's Lane, near the junction
Of the Denmark and Mendon roads. The
enemy's force consisted of seven regiments
of cavalry, amounting to 5000 men, under
command of Brigadier General Armstrong
The aggregate of Dennis force was but
800.
Discovering he was o1tnumbered, Den
mis- Immediately selected the best position
the ground would permit, and formed in
| line Of battle. The greatly superior force
of the enemy enabled him to entirely sur
round the command Of Dennis, and early
in the engagement to capture the transpor-
tation train, taking with it teamsters, sick
and prisoners. They also captured two
pieces of artillery. During the engage
ment the artillery and train were recap
tured by Dennis.
The enemy made many determined
charges, divid ng their force, and dismount-
ing apart they attacked both as infantry
and cavalry, the latter charging so close
as to fall from their horses almost within
the ranks Of our men.

The rising military leader Of the North
ern army is General Hooker, who has re-
Gently been elevated to the rank Of a
Brigadier General in the regular army.
The Times says Of him;
The Government is at no pains to conceal
the interest It takes in the recovery of the
gallant soldier. He has been visited at
Dr. Nichols by the the President and most
Of the members Of the Cabinet; and it is
well understood that a most important
command awaits his acceptance. Wheth-
er it will be at the West, where q fighting
man with some brains seems sadly needed,
or whether he will command one of the
two large army crops into which 1t is said
the army Of the East is to be divided, is
uncertain and it Is not difficult to foresee,
that if any of his seniors in rank shall, as
has been threatened, resign on account Of
the Presidents Proclamation, the vacancy
can be easily filed by equally good if not
better material.

A gentleman just arrived from Jackson
vile, Florida, who, by means Of a permit
from JEFF. Davis, reached FernaDdina, and
thence by transport to New-York, states
that General Finnegan, commanding the
Confederate forces in Florida, had sent
company, with six riAed cannon, with or
ders to open fire on the gunboats lying in
st. Johns River, near the town. Most of
the buildings in Jacksonville are owned
by Union men who are now in the North
ern States. General Finnegan, it is stat
ed, ordered the battery to open fire on the
gunboats in order to compel them to shell
the town, thus destroying the property Of
Unionists, as well as removing a fOrmida-
bic rival in commercial importance to Fer
nandina, Of which place General Finnegan
was formerly prominent merchant.

Special Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune
CoRISTH, September 16, 1862
To-day l visited the corral" or en-
campment Of negroes, situated about two
miles out Of town. There are now 2,100
women and children, most Of whom came
from Iuka, and are now in charge of Rev.
J. B. Rogers, chaplain of the 14th Wiscon-
sin. Government furnishes them with ra-
tions, but many of them stand in need of
decent clothing. II was to me dreadful
sight to see the poor creatures huddled to-
gether in and around few tents, which in
ease Of storm, would afford small protec-
ton
A large number came from Iuka, run
ming for their lives. One poor woman is
so exhausted that she is not expected to
live. She ran all the way with an infant
in her arms. The distance is something
over twenty miles. Chaplain Rogers in
formed me that it is proposed to ship them
to Columbus, KY, and that probably it
would be so decided to-day. If so, he
would probably be detailed to 20 with them.
There are among them two sisters, one of
whom is black and the other is quite white.
The latter has a little boy with fair hair,
ami with none of the marks of the negro
There are many among them who are light
enongh 10 pass for whites until they speak,
then you detect them. The women and
children all need clothing. Can anything
be done for them Those that 20 to Co
lumbus viii probably be cared for, but
great many who are in the different regi-
ments acting as cooks, &C., are in great
present need. These poor slaves are des-
tined to cause us a great deal of trouble,
and the wisest minds in our land will be
taxed to provide for them. They must be
removed from the army, or they will be
fruitful source Of Generalization. In fact
I saw and heard enough to-day to convince
the most iHcredulous that something must
be done speedily for that purpose.
You will, I hope, excuse me if have
Bearied you on this subject; but the truth
is, it interests me, and thought it would
you.
Our force at Iuka, it is said, acted very
cowardly in abandoning that place, with
its large amount Of stores, some 700 bar
rels of -four, "a barrels of salt, and others
in proportion. Troops have gone down to
try to retake it, and hear they were fight
ing there this morning. It is now report
ed that the train that left for that direction
this morning has been burned, but it is on
ly a rumOr as yet.

EcoNoMIsISG.-To promote economy in

not required. Blank circulars, &C., Of
most Of the department are upon sheets,
only one-half whereof is covered by writ
ing or printing. The postal returns Of

tons Of white paper that are not really

Western Virginis last spring, and who was
unfortunately captured recently in Mary

General of Kentucky Militia, which will
give him responsible cOmmsnd until he
receives Brigadier's commission in the

NEW 1Ohk, sept. 70.
The Herald has an extract from the reb-
el journals relative to the late battles in
Maryland. The Richmond Enquirer claims
the battle of Antietam as great rebel vic
tory. 1t was directed by Lee with $4,000
men in his command.
Rebel accounts make our force 10000.
Jackson commanded the left Of the rebel
line, Hill the right, LOngstreet the CEN
ire.
It is admitted that our artillery was
used with fearful effect and that upon the
whole the battle was the most severe of the
entire campaign. The following is the
list of the commanding officers killed and
wounded in the engagement: General
Stark, of Miss, commanding in Jackson 3
division, killed; Brigadier General Branch,
of n. c., killed; Brigadier General R. H.
Anderson, wounded, but not dangerously;
Brigadier General Wright of Georgia,
flesh wounds in breast and leg; Brigadier
General Lawton, leg; Brigadier General
Armisted, in foot; Brigadier General Rip
ley, in neck, not dangerously; Brigadier
General Ramson, of N. c., slightly.
The Petersburg Express makes the sig
nifcant admission that all hopes of Mary
land uniting her destinies with the South
must now be banished. The experiment
to arouse the people to follow the fortunes
of the rebel army is proclaimed to have
been dead failure, and the devoted ad-
herence of the State government, the
press, and the majority of the people to
the Federal Government, is acknowledged
by the Express. The victories at Boones-
boro and Sharpsburg it declares to be un-
profitable to the rebel cause.

move of the rebel army the destruction of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and an

IhE kANAhh MA SALT MOhh5s
There is one thing about this retreat
that should be Investigated. am informed
by officers that ought to know, that fort
night ago it was determined to fall back to
the Ohio river. If so, the salt works near
Charleston should have been promptly de-
stroyed This matter should not have been
postponsed until the last moment, when it
would at best be imperfectly done, if done
at all. But it will be said that no approach
of the enemy was anticipated. Then, when
they did approach, cavalry force should
have been promptly dispatched to cut every
pipe conducting the briny fluid, destroy
what manufactured salt there was in the
valley, and fire all the works. In this way
the object of the enemy would have been
defeated; but as it is they have made a
rich prize, more valuable to them than the
mines of Golconda. Therebels were not 50
anxious to drive us out of Western Vir-
ginia-for the pOverty-stricken region is
not worth fighting fOr-as they were to
procure salt. By retreating our forces
saved their bacon" but the rebels also
obtained the material to save theirs.
