FROM THE NORTH.

From the Norfolk Day Book, Jan. 1sth.l
We gathered yesterday some few items of
news from the North, which we give for the graf
%ification Of the reader:
The report of the resignation OF Cameron has
scarcely reached US before news is borne to Us
of the resignation of other members Of the Cab
met at Washington. Il is now reported that
WeLes, Secretary of the Navy, and Smith, Sec
rotary OF the Interior, have followed the exam
pie OF Cameron, and thrown up their commits
SONS. In other words, like Cameron, being
FULLY convinced that the ship must sink, they
have gathered up as much Of her treasure as
possible, and forsaken her.
Their places will be filled, It is said, by Mr..
Coltax, of Indiana, and Mr.. Holt, of Kentucky.
The report which reached US that Humphrey
Marshall had cut up the Yankees is corroborated
by intelligence from the North. Our informant
states, that notwithstanding their newspaper
accounts OF a great victory over Gen. Marshall,
that in Baltimore the fact is known that such was
not the case, but that as usual the Yankees were
defeated with a very heavy loss.
We further learn that five regiments were sent
out to attack Gen. Price. Their object was to
take him by surprise, and they counted upon an
easy victory. They counted without their host,
however, as the sequel proved. They met with
a terrible deteat-a large portion of them being
killed and the remainder taken prisoners.
The Burnside expedition, it seems, was really
fitted out for the purpose Of making a demon
stration upon North CarOlina-the point for
which they are destined being Elizabeth City.
We rather think that we know more of this
route than they do, and as it IS now too late Tor
them to profit by it, we viii state that, before
getting to Elizabeth City, they win wish them
selves back home; for 1t is a hard road to trav-
el--so hard, indeed, that we rather think, as the
Yankees are not used to such things, they won't
be able to stand the leaden hail which viii fly
around them.

Correspondence Of the Nashville Union.
Fort HENRY, January 20, 10 A. M.-The
enemy has not reached US yet, although we ex-
pect them every hour. The steamer Dunbar,
under charge of Major Barbour, went down yes
terday to within twenty miles Of Paducah.
Major Barbour reports that TIE g~gn5oats had re-
turned to Paducah. He had a conversation with
a reliable gentleman at Agner's ferry, who told
him that only four companies of Dutch infantry
landed there, instead of twenty-five hundred, as
stated in my last. This force marched to Muir
ray, a distance of sixteen miles, where they
made a junction with the force under Gen.
Smith.
Dur pickets went ont yesterday within view
of the enemy's encampment at Murray, and re-
ports that they have from s.z TO ten thousand
infantry, two thousand cavalry, and thirteen
pieces Of artillery. We do not know positively
whether they will march ON this fot or on Paris +,
In Henry county.
The rains yesterday and to-day are very heavy,
and the water courses and roads are almost i'm
p~asssble, which will necessarily impede their
movements.
We are working hard here nigh. and day, not
withstanding the mud and rain.
Gen. Tilghman reached here yesterday from
Fort Donelson, and informs US that Gen. B. L..
johnson, Of Nashville, has taken command al
Fort DOnelsOn. We were glad to learn this, be-
cause we know him to be a high toned gentle
man and an accomplished officer.
We expect some eight hundred men here to-
day from Fort Donelsen.

The hope expressed by US on yesterday thai
the intelligence of Gen. C~aTTTENDEN's defest
had been exaggerated by excited fugitives from
the field Of battle is fully realized by this morn
ing's news. 1t seems that our forces were raj
lied at Monticello, Wayne county, Ky, whiehis
about nine miles from Mills Springs, and viii
make a stand there. Rsinforcements have also
been sent to their aid. The Federal accounts
state that General ~ZOLLICOFFER was found
" MORALLY wounded" and do not mention his
death as a positive fact It IS possible, there
fore-though not prObable-thst be may yet be
alive.
The severe hurricane on the coast is represent
ed as having brought great disaster on the Burn
side naval expedition, which we hope mayprOvt
true.

From Cniro-Federnl Eeporss.

Special 10 the St Louis Republican,
CAIRO, January 13.-A severe snow storm
has prevailed to-day, and the weather is very
cold.
There has been no further movement of troops,
and those at Camp Jefferson still remain with
out attempting more than reconnaissance in the
neighborhOod. The only one Of importance was
that yesterday.
-Four or FIVE rebel pickets have been captured,
and also some cav airy horses, by scouting par
ties.
A bridge has been built over Blayfeld creek,
near ElliOtt's mill, and the army viii pass the
stream without difficulty.
A farmer, brought in to-day, and who lives
close to Columbus, said two regiments arrived
there day before yesterday, hut more than the
same number have gone south within the same
time. He says that on account of the numer-
Gus desertiOus lately not a soldier is allowed to
pass - lines on any p%retense, and the %seDtlnels
: chosen entirely from native southerners.
The ing chain stretching across the river at
COiUInbU proved unable to sustain its own
weight, The other day one of its links parted.
Il has neen repaired again. Good naval author

squadron here running against any chain they
can make would snap it instantly.
Tomorrow two more columns will start under
Gen. Payne and Col. Cook.
All the transports mere VIII DC IvquIed 10

proposilion fer an Aru,l.,ico.

In the Maryland Legislature, On the 18th inst,
Senator Fiery submitted the following preamble
and resolution, which were read and referred to
the committee on Federal relations:
WHEREAS, The horrors and devastations of
war are ever r%epulsiye to the Christian heart, and
especially and particularly SO when that war is
waved between brethren, who are commanded in
the simple but affecting language # Gods in
spired word to "love one another and where
as. every honorable means of averting conflicts,
and a~rresting them when begun. ought to be re-
sorted to in a spirit Of civilized humanity; and
whereas, notwithstanding our untaltering deter
mination to maintain the sanctity and indissolu-
bility of the Union at every hazard, and to sup
press the unhOly rebellion reared against it, we
are yet not without hope that the sad aud mel
ancholy experience Of the past year has prepared
the hearts Of those in arms against the govern
ment of the United States to listen fsvorably to
fair and just propositions Of an adjustment Of
existing difficulties, ON the basis of the restora-
ton Of peace and unity among all sections of the
Union; therefore,
ResoEUed, by the Senate and House Of Delegates
of MargLqad. That the President Of the United
States be requested to present to the President Of
the Confederate States a proposal for an armis-
tice f - days, for the purpose of effecting an
amicable adjustment Of our national difficulties,
upon the basis Of an entire restoration Of the
Union.

TEe Hattie in Kentucky this Week-Tbe
terrible Conflict nf Hand.

From The Cincinnati Enquirer Of the 14thl
We are assured by high authority-a gentle
man who arrived in the city yesterday from
Washington en- route for Kentucky-that the ter
rible conflict between the Federal and Coniede-
rate armies in Southern Kentucky VIII Unques-
tionably take place this week. Gen. Buell. has
all his transportation and has concentrated his
various divisions precisely as he had intended
without any Interruption from the enemy. The
Federal lines arc closing in upon the enemy in
something ike @ crescent, and so systematic and
steady are the advance movements Of our forces
that the rebels are uncertain as TO The point where
they will be first attacked Gen. Buell. has
authentic adYices from the rebel army, and is
fully acquainted with their strength, position,
movements, etc, up to Thursday last, and is
s~anguine Of an immense. victory in the coming
contest. The frozen roads will be Of immense
advantage to the rapid movement Of our men,
and right gladly will the favorable opportunity
be improved. Our forces are III a nue. position,
and nothing short Of a victory and defeat, or an
unconditional surrender, win satisfy the Federal
commander. The rebels will be prevented from
retresting to Nashville, and one Of the above
alternatives only can they choose.
The movement on Columbus is believed to be
"a feint to prevent reinforeements leaving Column
bus to Join Buckner, end al the information from
that quarter indicates that the ieint has accom-
plished its purpose. In connection with this our
informant states that our army on the Potomac
are SIN arms for a forward advance, which Is
promised by Gen. Mcclellan to take place i'm
inediately. Exciting news from that quarter
and Kentucky may be looked for daily.

FURTHER PARTICULARS

Special Dispatch to the Appeal
KNOXVILLE, January 24-Gen. Crittenden's
forces marched out from their breastwOrks at
Mills Springs on Saturday night at - o'clock to
meet the enemy, and found them lying in am
bush at Fishing Creek, eleven miles distant. AT
dawn Sunday morning, the 18th inst, Gen. Zol-
l%icofer, who was in front, commenced the attack
by a vigorous advance, The engagement lasted
nearly all day long. Gen. ZoIioofer was shot
through the lungs early in the engagement, and
bis body had not been recovered up to our latest
advices.
Two of his aids, Majors Fogg and Shields,
were severely wounded.
The enemy were repulsed three times, but
received large reinforcements and rallied in con-
sequence. The Confederates fell back to their
~intrenchments at Mills Springs and crossed the
river at night. abandoning tents and equipage.
Nearly all our cavalry horses were lost. Six
guns of Meetings. and four of Rutledge's bat
terry were spiked and sunk in the river. Two
guns of Rutledge's and Monsarrat's battery be-
ing on this side of the river, were effectively
used during the retreat, and protected Critten-
denis forces, which numbered about FIVE thou
sand. The enemy are said to have numbered
$4,000 strong. A portion of Woods and Cum
ming's regiments and two companies OF Whites
regiments are now on the retreat between this
place and Jamestown, Ky.
Capt MonsGrrat has received a dispatch stat
ing that Gen. Critenden has rallied his forces
and made a stand at Monticello, Wayne county,
KY, about nine miles from the battle field, and
is now ready to oppose the enemy, he having
b en- reinforced. The defeat does not amount to
a disaster. A portion of the troops became panic
struck at the confusion incident to crossing the
river after night, but the great body crossed in
good order, and are now ready for a fight.
Every arrangement has been made to rally
the stragglers upon their arrival there, and they
viii be subject to the orders of their respective
officers. Ammunition, subsistence, etc, has been
forwarded to Crittenden, and a large force Of
cavalry has left here to reinforce him. A bat
tery of artillery is also ready to be sent forward.
