DEAR SIR Permit me through

against William Copeland, which
L understand to be very current m
your County-and which was en-
gendered in this camp through a
misunderstanding of facts-and by
persons who knew nothing of the
circumstances out of which they
made it-and probably without
knowing the injustice they was
doing Mr.. Copeland. 1t is said
that when Mr. Copeland brought
clothing from eur County to my
company, that he made a charge
of one dollar against each for his
services rendered them. This l
positively deny-and think great
injustice has been done Mr.. Cope

was farther ifom nothing than a
notion to charge them for any SER
vice done them, though he had
to labor and undergo much fatigue
to get them through; and / think

him to what expense he had been
he told ME that he had trans

DEAR SlR:-I have many things

We staid there some month and a
half by ourselves, until the 18th of
November. Our pickets then

sent the 18th and 18th Tennessee
Regiments to us-the 18th on our
left, the 18th on our right-the ar.
tiIlery between us. Our cavalry
met the Yankees and commenced
sharp shooting and retreating to
us. AT the time they came in
sight all commenced the roar of
death. Half an hour told the
tale. The 18th Tennessee Regi-
ment and our men fought like tt
gers. The 18th got out of car
tridges and was compelled to 60 to
the river. The 18th Arkansas
charged on them and shot 5 or 6
rounds and then we rctreatcd back
to the first line, and all formed
and held them at bay 80 minutes.
Our little force numbered 600
against 5000. They commenced
thanking us at 10th ends, and we
then retreated to the river. They
silenced our battery and fired
them on us. At this time Gen.
Cheatham crossed the river with
three Regiments. We formed and
went out to meet them in an old
field. The command was death
or victory. AS we got through the
field there they were all in lines.
They opened fire on us, we return
ed it with death at every fire..
They stood 6 or Z rounds, falling
in piles for a line of half a mile.
long. All at once we heard
the word charge. They threw
down their guns, cartridge-boxes,
hayre-sacks, blankets, over-coats,
boots, shoes, caps, pants, shirts,
and in fact all they could tighten
themselves of, and took to their
heels, and us after them load

jump. We run side by side with
them for a run of 6 miles to their
boats. One place l noticed in a
little corn field, say 4 acres, 13S
lay dead and wounded. At the
boats our men shot them ike sheep
killing dogs. We pushed them SO
close they had to cut their cables
and float out of the range of our
muskets. Our artillery up the
river as they came in reach, give
them the last farewell.

a LIE OUT.

IL WV
The New York Times says that
"neither Lincoln nor any member
of his Cabinet is committed in fa-
eor of the course pursued by Cap
tain Wilkes, in arresting Messrs.
Mason end Slidell.". That is a
broad assertion, but on referring
to Secretary Welles' report, who
is a member of Lincoln's Cabinet,
as it was published in the st.
Louis Democrat, we find the fol-
lowing paragraph:
The prompt and decisive &C
ton of Wilkes mcrited and receiv-
ed the emphatic approval Of the
department-and if too generous
forbearance was exhibited by him
in not capturing the vessel which
had these enemies Mason and Sill
deln aboard, it may in view of the
special circumstances, and of its
patriotic motives, be excused; but
it must by no means be permitted
to constitute a precedent hereafter
for the treatment of any case of
similar infraction of neutral obli-
cations by foreign vessels engaged
in commerce or the carrying trade.
And a few says since the follow
ing document, unmistakable in
its tone, was made public:
NAVY DEPARTMENT, Nov. so, 1861.

handing the U. S. Steamer San
Jacinto:
SRI congratulate you on
your safe arrival, and especially do
/ congratulate you on your great
public service you lace rendered
in the capture Of the Confederate
emissaries. Messrs. Mason and Sill
dell have been conspicuous in this
conspiracy to dissolve the Union,
and it is well known that when
seized by you they were on mis-
sion hostile to the government of
the country. Your conduct in
selling these public enemies was
marked by intelligence, ability,
decision and firmness, aud has the
emphatic approval Of this depart
nae,t. 1t is not necessary that /
should, in this communication
which is intended to be one of
GENERALIZATION to yourself, officers
and crew-express an opinion on
the course pursued in emitting to
capture the vessel which had
these public enemies on board, fur
Their than to say that the forbear-
ance exercised in this instance
must not be permitted to costitute
q precedent hereafter for infrac-
tons Of neutral obligations.
/ am, respectfully, your obedi-
ent servant, GIDEON WELLEs.
This was not the Individual act
of Mr.. WELLEs, but was an official
act, and, therefore, reflected, and
truly, we have not u doubt, the
position of the LINCOLN Admins
tration at that time. 1t has never
been disavowed.
On the first day of the assem-
bling of the Federal Congress Mr.,
Lovejoy, of Illinois, Offered a
joint resolution rendering the
thanks of Congress to Capt. Wilkes
for his arrest Of the rebels, Mason
and Slidell,' and that resolution
was adopted.

CHANGE IN TIE CABINET.-The intelligence
is confirmed that Mr.. Cameron has resigned
the Office of Secretary Of war. Hon. Ed.
ward NJ. Stanton has been nominated by the
President us the successor of Mr.. Cameron.
The following is the explanation of this
change in the Cabinet, received from Wash
ington:
Our present relations with Europe are
deemed highly important and interesting,
and as Russia seems to be strong friendly
power. the President is anxious that some
ono should act as Minister to the Court Of
St. Petersburg in whom he has entire conf
dcncc, who can ably and fairly represent his
views, and aid our cause in Europe. Gen.
Cameron accepted the Office of Secretary Of
War with great reluctance. prcfcrring his
scat in the Senate, and has always declared
his intention to vacate the place when the
interests of the country should allow, and
no would have proper successor.
His successor, Mr.. Stanton. is the same
gentleman who acted as Attorney General
during the brief period, under the late Ad'
ministration, after Mr.. Black was transferred
to the Department Of State. Mr.. Stanton
was formerly Of Pittsburg, but has resided
at Washington Of late, in the practice Of
y.
his profession. in which he maintainsa high
ly distinguished rank. ..it.tr
