ston telegraphed to Gov, Harris, from Bowling
Green, that a Louisville paper of the 2Oth, when
he had received. announced that our arms had
met with a reverse in Kentucky, and that Gen.
ZOlicofer had been killed, and asking II the
Governor had any information on the subject
This was the 6rst iutimatiOn which had been re

transpired yesterday morning, confirmation was
received through q passenger On the m
Commerce, which arrived from the upper Cum-

G. II. MONsARRAT.
Later in the day, private Morris. Of Col
McNairy's battalion of cavalry, arrived in this
city, direct from Gen. Crittenden's command,

particulars of the engagement. It seems that
Gems. Crittenden and Zollicofer learned on
Saturday last that the enemy had thrown a force
of three thousand men acros Fishing creek, leav-
ing the remainder of his force on the opposite
side. The creek was much swollen by the re
cent heavy rains, and was difficult to cross.
Gen. Crittenden, who was in command, determ-
iued to attack and cut off the enemy's advance,
if possible, before they were reinforced. He
accordingly ordered Gen. Zolicoher forward
with his brigade Saturday night, following him
self with the remainder of the army. At S
O%'eioc., Sunday morning, Gen. ZJIicofer dis
covered the enemy in large force-sstimated at
twenty thousand, the whole having succeeded in
crossing the creek-and Immediately in his front
The engagement was shortly commenced, and,
in a short time, became general. It lasted tor
several hours, terminating 10 the defeat Of our
forces, who were driven back to their intrench-
ments, from which they were forced to retire at
3 o'clock in the afternoon. After this the army
fell back across the Cumberland under the lead

NEW ORLEANS, January 25.-Tho steamer
Calhoun from Havana, on Wednesday, in endea-
voring to make an entrance, was discovered by
the blOckaders, fred upon, and in her effort to
escape, she disabled her machinery, when she
was set on FIRE and abandoned. The crew az
rived safe. A large meeting was held at the St.
Charles hotel last night for the purpose of ez-
pressing regret at the death of the distinguished
statesman and soldier, Gen. ZoIicofer. Col.
Andrew Ewin was called to the chair II. L.
Goodrich, secretary. On motion, the chairman
appointed the following committee to draft reso-
lutions: Col. J Pickett, Maior-GeneraI Lowell,
Brigadier-Genera Ruggles, Commodore HoIEns,
W. A. johnson, A. l.. Davis, W. T. Berry, Alex.
Fall, D. NJ. Hldretb, NJ. Pitcher, and j. C.
Goodrich. They reported the following resolu-
ton:
ResoIDed, That we received intelligence of the
death of Gen. Felix X. ZolIicofer with feelings
of the p~rofoUndest sorrow, and lament his I'M
timely end as an irTeparable loss to the cause for
which he heroicaliy gave his life. In private life
or in the discharge of his public duties we find
him an incorruptible patriot, cool and collected
amidst troubles, and unfalteriug in the execution
Of his purpose, No man, since the days Of Gen.
Jackson, enjoyed 50 completely the confidence
and undivided esteem Of the people of Tonnes
see. We mourn bis death as a great public loss,
which is only relieved by the Tecolle ton that he
fell fighting bravely at the head of his column
against the invaders of his country's soil.

The Dublin Freeman thinks poorly Of Cen
Butler At New Orleans as a paciGcaicr and
Union restOrer. In the course Of an editorial it
says:
IL would have been wiser to impress the peO-
pie with a feeling tbss the FedeTsls came IS
brothers to Teunite the North and the South, not
as cODquerOrs and enemies 70 render union i'm
possible. If Gen. Butler sought to strike terror
into the South, and divorce it from all sympathy
with the North, be adopted the proper course
Gen. Batter is evidently a pTig-flled with
sense of his own importance, and ignorant OF
the first duties of Republican soldier. He
should have disturbed as little as possible the
state Of things in New Orleans. He was, no
doubt, annoyed with the demeanor of the mayor,
and the refusal of the citizens to organize pro-
visiOnsl government on Federal principles but
this refusal should have inclined Gin rather to
cOncilistOn than severity.
If the policy Of Gen. Butler be the policy of
the general government in the Southern cities
which may suecumb to the Federal AIMS, the
army of seven hundred thOassrd VIII not be
man too many to hold the conquered States II
peace were restored tomorrow. The services Of
General Butler should be transferred elsewhere.
As a civil administrator, he is not likely to be
successful, judging from his irst appearance in
New Oilesns. General Mcclellan or General
Mcdowell would be the sort of person to calm
the feTOeity which Gen. BItler aggrayatss by
his silly pToclamstOnS.
