FR0M POET HUDsON.

CLINTON, La, December %, 1852
EDITORS APPEAL Yesterday occurred, down on the
rosd leading to Baton Rouge, another Of those little
skirmishes in which our cavalry are gaining no little
repute. S~tockdale, with bis Mississ ppians on the Port
hudson road, and Stuart's Baton Ro1geians on the Gin
ton road, are checking up the blue jacket thieves every
time they attempt a passage in this direction.
Yesterday several hundred cavalry, supported by
infantry and artillery, charged Stuart's company in
camp, but the boys fought them on foot and forced them
to leave the premises in a hurry. Stuart was wounded.
The Yankees lost five horses, and one man killed and
many wounded.
S~tOekdsle, the previous week, chased a gang Of their
cavalry into Baton Rouge. That city is almost entirely
evacuated by the people-not more than two hundred
and fifty remaining. The number of Yankees there
does not exceed eight thousand REDWOOD.

From The Richmond Dispatch
A gentleman who has recently been relieved from
prison life at Camp Chase, and who is a citizen of
Western Virginia, has furnished us one Of many Incl
dents Ia connection with the cruelty praeticed by the
Yankee hreliDgs toward the loyal people Of the North
west In The early part of last sumner, q blacksmith,
Of Wood county, named MeGinnes, who was suspected
Of sympathy with the South, was arrested and taken to
Wheeling. A short time previous 10 his arrest he had
lost his wife, and the only remaining members of his
family were two little boys, one nine and the oth4r
twelve years old In the hope that his imprisonment
would be Of short duration, he requested that b g two
children might accompany him, which was granted-it
would seem on'y for ths purpose of increasing his dis
trees. When they arrived at Wheeling, the whole party,
without examination, were thrown into prson-the
fsther in one cell a. the children in another, without
The privilege Of ccIImunieating with each other il any
way. After remaining at Wheeling for several weeks
they were transferred to Camp Chase, where the same
cruelty and relsatless rigor was visited upon them.
The most touching appeals OF the little boys for per-
mission 70 communicate with their father we're disrs-
garded. and their repeated applications for an interview
refused Finally, from the exposure to which be was
subjected. and the harsh treatment received, the father
died IN prise while the children were retained. and are
stu Kept In confinement. Our informant says that
Mhen he hrst saw them they were neat, clearly and
sPrghtiy, but before he left them they were ragged,
Filthy. and downeast.

OUR SUCCESS AR vICKsBURG.

ODA 5DDOAS3 AA nv
All accounts agree in the fact that the enemy in the
vicinity OF Yicksbarg have, for the present at least, de
sisted from their operations against that city and retired
from the point upon which they made such q persistent
attack. Psssergersby the last train bring the information
that tie land force re-embarked, and that the whols
feet, gun-boats as wel} as transports, has gone out q
the Yazoo and u2 the Mississippi, and thatin doing 40
they were in such haste as to leave behind a cOnsidsra-
bic amount of public property, which has fallen into
our hands.
This is the result Of a ~protraeted effort Of about ten
days, dnriHg which time a land force estimated at from
forty 20 Rfy Thousand, assisted by a small portion Of the
gun-b0st feet, was engaged against US. The Importance
Of this result cannot be TOO highly appreciated. The
time gained viii enable Us TO strengthen every weak
peint As well as accumulate endorsements, and when
3 third attempt is made to open the Mississippi we
have every reason to believe a more disastrous defeat
will fsI upo p the invaders, who are no doubt already
discouraged at their failures. and viii not again meet us
with the same confidence.
Our trfaing loss, less than one hundred in killed,
wounded and missing, when compared with that of the
enemy, amounting to some fifteen hundred, demon
srated to the latter the strength of our works. Three
distinct and vigorous efforts on as many different days,
- make ncisions in our lines, on the left, center and
right Excessively, resulted in not an inch Of ground being
iosl The efforts Of the enemy were gallantly made at
every point, but the foresight Of Gen. PEMBERToN en-
sbled him to anticipate their movements, and prepare
accordingly, and his success in SO dispoEing Of his de
fensye farces as to accomplish great resalts and at the
game time preserve the lines Of his men in a contest
with his foe SO greatly superior in force, viii ensure hin
the esteem Of the troops and the people.
The few days allowed for completing the defenses
contemplated, were, we are informed, used with the
greatest diligence by the general commanding. who
allowed nothing to escape his observation, and would
permit no laggards in his lines. So complete are the
works and withal so formidable, that every confidence
is fdt There are no doubters in camp. When or
where the enemy VIII next make his appearance there
have been no copjectures, but he viii find everything

whisky, which they found in sufficient quantities to

drawn up on the morning Of the 18th, Meagher, Just
previous to the sally from the town to attack our posi-
