Letter From the Cherokee Nation.
FoRr GIBsoN, Dec. II, l861


 The following extracts are from private letter from Fort Gibson, and from D very reliable gentlemen of this State, who Is soournsng at that place fora time: '
 * * The Cherokee regiment un- der Col. Drew will be reorganized. John Ross, the principal chief, made speech here, to-day. He spoke under the Cented- crate States flag, took hold of the staff, and declared if every other Cherokee deserted it, he would die defending it, He, Col. Cooper, Col. Drew, Col. Vim. F. Ross and others had conference, to-day. There Is no question but that matters will be adjust ed and that Col. Drew with more numerous command will take part in the fight to come off not many days hence Better men than those that stood by Col. D. in the trials of last week, cannot be mustered. Picllens Benge, Hilderbrand, Judge Fields, Charles lIieks-Captains all-stood by him 10 the end. There were some lieuteu- ants eff knew their names, l would give them, and twosons and a grandson of the chief that remained with their colonel, also.
 Col. Cooper, like Gen. Price, Is one of the commanders that does not sit perpen dicuIarly up after fight, but goes out hunting for new ones. And such officers does the Colonel need, If Providence gov eIns there never will be fight.
 Col. Sims regiment of Texans Is en- camped' hero-al daring and decent men. The whole regiment is an honor to its State. Measois and pneumonia have been severe amongst the men. Two hnndred or whereabouts, are on the sick report.
 Ever and tIuly yours.

FROM THE PoToMAC-tSISKISGo OF Vrs- sEL.-The only item of striking moment from this line taas we can gather is the fact that on Sunday evening about dark, Capt. Cook "a pottery, than which there is none Iaore efficient in the southern service, open ed near Matthias Point, on an upward bound three masted vessel, (merchantman, and in some five or six shots succeeded in sink ing her. Our informant was not able to say whether the crew was saved, but is cer- tain as to the sinking of the vessel.
 Sholtly after this occurrence the Freabnn came steaming down, and opened upon the battery, but after.sone fifteen or twenty well directed shots from Cooks battery she was induced to retreat in good order to the Maryland shore.
 We learn in a conversation with soldiers on furlough from Transport that on Sum day large steamer attempted to pass up but that she was fired upon by our rihed guns and fore d to put back down the stream.
 On Sunday small sail vessel manag ,d to pass down, though she was fired ct some twenty or more times.

THE LADIES OF ST. LOUIS .-Irhe follow ing rich paragraphis is worthy of special men, tion. Our readers. we have no doubt, will be equally pleased with the joke upon the general, and the patriotism of the fascina- ting female who played it:
 Within the past week the shcessionists of St. Lotus have grown suddenly bold, and are as yet unchecked in their reasonable proceedings. One of their generals has been here for ten days under flag of truce. and has the largest liberty imaginable He iS perfectly unrcstrained in all his move ments, and yesterday I beheld him arm in arm with one of our brigadier generals, and arranging to dine with him that afternoon. Recruiting for the rebel army Is going on within a stones throw of the head quarters of the commanding general, and traitors on the street and elsewhere make no attempt to disguise their sentiments. Last evening at a fair, held ostensbly for the benefit of the orphans of tse city, but said by know ing ones to be designed to raise funds to equip the newly enlisted southern recruits, secession badges and flags were worn by many ladies and gentlemen present. While Gen. Sweeney was promenading the hall with fair and fascinating female, the lat ter pinned a rebel flag to the coat collar of the old soldier, and permitted it to remain there until discovered. The indignation of the general can be easily imagined. To night the fair is to be held again, and the Provost Marshal, who has been informed of the proceedings, promises to look in.

 MORE ABOUT THE UsED-Up ApoTHLEYHo- Lo.-From the Van Buren Press of the 2d inst we gather the further intelligence concerning the defeat of the rebellious h. dians. The Press says:
 Iiout. c. A. Thornton, who went up with Col. Mcintosh as Adt. General, in the late expedition against Apothleyholo, arrived ln town yesterday evening. He represents tho whole affair, complete sue cess-~ending in the total rout and exter- imitation of Apothleyholo, and his com mand. The news previously received, re- gardlng the fight of our forces with the en- emy, Is fully confirmed; we also received the following further intelligence: Col. Mcintosh and his brave troops, on the next day after the fight continued the pursuit of old Apothleyholo for a or 30 miles, but was unable to overtake the frightened old chief, on account of tho swiftness of his flight and the scattering of his forces. They are represented as having completely lost organization and divided into small parties, seeking safety in distant and inac- cessable places. To make their disaster more complete and final, Col. Stand Wat lee, with his regiment came upon them in thor nasty run, and after a short engage ment succeeded in killing some 15 more of them, and increasing their speed to rapidity that baffled all pursuit-they threw away every thing, that in any way impeded easy progress, Some thirty or forty wagons fell into the hands of Col. Mcintosh during the chase, besides 25O head of beef cattle, loo head of sheep, and about 400 ponies that were captured in the fight, or rather after they fled from their camping ground, and left it in our posses sion. A great many Squaws and some 20 negroes were also taken Col Mcintosh will arrive to-day, his command coming in after him. Affairs in the Nation may be regarded as settled. The names of the killed and wounded will be published as soon as received. Our loss was 12 killed and 20 wounded. Enemy's loss fully 200 killed. and can form no idea how many wounded.
