After feeling Of the enemy at Vicksburg, and
waiting about week for Grant and Banks to
come up, our expedition returned to the
mouth Of White River, where our gunboats
planned the expedition against this post, and
VIC we're not long in getting under way. Land.
ing Mt point about two miles below the fort,
covered by the point and heavy timber, We
formed in line Of battle as follows:
She1man's army corps, composed Of Steele's
and Stuart's divisions, {Daye Stuart)
took the advance or right, and Morgan's army
corps. Our brigade, composed Of the 113th,

Sth Mo-, under command Of Col. Giles Smith,
the enemy from their rifle pits on the east,
souri was deployed a. ekirmishers, and soon
drove the enemy in. The whole army then
formed in line Of battle, almost completely
surrounding the enemy: All this was done

gunboats and the fort After a brisk cannon

dropped down stream, out Of the range Of tic

are the least number Of children at school,
and the greatest number Of young men,
for the most part uneducated and brutal,
in The icbel army. And after having cs-
tablishcd the rule for Kentucky, with the
data at hand, he might have shown that 1t

facts which may well challenge observation,

Mr:. Robinson, the Superintendent Of
Public instruction in Kentucky, takes
pains to show, by his annual report for the
year ending Dec, 1861, that in those coun-
ties Of his State in which educational en-
1erp1ises have been most fostercd, and in
which the Intelligence Of the people is the
most marked, there the sentiment Of 10y
atty to The Union Is the MOST. cordial, i'm
movable and selfsacrifciug. He. might
have gone step further and proved that

We are not advised what further opera
tions for the reduction Of Vicksburs are to
be undertaken; but we assume that Gen.
Grant will not rest until the place is re-
duced, and the old flag can be carried,
without a challenge, from Cairo to New
Orleans. Indeed, Indications not to be mis-
taken, point unerringly to the o.saniza-
ton Of our forces for q new
attack, which probably cannot be long de-
fe1red. With the aid Of Banks and Farra-
gut in the South, Grant and Porter on the
North, backed as they will be, may count
confidently on SUCCESS That the place
will be taken, VIC have never permitted
ourselves to doubt But long and tedious
siege may be necessary. Strong within
their. entertainments, powerful in numbers,
and armed with all the resources Of de-
fcnse, the rebels may not perhaps be safely
attacked Brave as our troops are, they
are are not yet the equals Of veterans in
carrying positions By storm Hence, to
save much precious life; and make defeat
impossible, our armies and fleets may take
position before and around the city, and
wait events Starvation is powerful pa
cit1cator; and in its clutchers, an enemy,
though beneath casemates or behind bonn
proofs, cannot long hold out. Corn and
bacon arc not less necessary than powder
and lead.
A gentleman just from Memphis, who
has had rare opportunities for estimating
the spirit Of our troops, says that they are
burning with desire to be led once more
against the foe They want to wipe out
the disgrace Of their former failure, and by
new examples Of courage and devotion,
restore the prestige which official misman-
agcmcnt and incompctcncy destroyed.
They say too that the opening of the Mis-
sissippi will be virtual end Of the war in
the Southwest, and the heaviest blow that
the rebel cause could receive. When Or
dcrcd forward, they will go, though death
bars the way. Brave boys! how proudly

Rosecrans' Battle Field Order.


The battle Of Murfreesboro began, It will
be recollected, on Tuesday, December 80.
There had been heavy combats during the dag,
but no general assault on either side. Our
troops had behaved with gallantry and steadi-
ness. Next morning, the day of the terrible
Wednesday action, when the battle was waning
on the unfortunate right, and few minutes
before it gave way in such disorder and prccipi-
fancy, that the day was almost lost, General
Rosecrans' addressed an "order' to the
troops, Of which the following is copy, viz:

ItSeems from what facts We. cao .gal her,
that about O'Clock Friday evening, two
men entered the back door just astwo others
jumped through the window Of the. room
where Mr.. Purcell was sitting -mending a
basket, with large knife in his hand, sur
rounded by his wife and four Children, Che

the room, and, with a drawn pistol, threat.

Mr.. Purcell arose quickly, holding bis
basket up to shield him, while the ,rulians
commenced TO beat him, over the, head with
clubs with which they were armed, and
after severe struggle, he iell near the feet

There has beeen q weeks fighting and
slaughter near Mnrireesboro, TenDesee.-
SkirDishing was commenced on Monday the
29th ult, and continued on Tuesday. On
wednesday the 3lst ult, there was bloody
hattIeg This was renewed with great slaugll :.
ter on Thursday (New Years Day]. Thus
the old year expired amid death and carnage
and the Dsg year was baptized in blood as
soon as il was born. - ,t't s-
On Friday and Saturday there was severe
fighting at Intervals. Saturday night the
rebels were repulsed IN making charge up
on our lines. That night they evacuated
Murfrsesboro, OF which our troops took pos
session the next mornining Our fnrces
then pursued the rear guard of the rebels
who were retreating in the direction Of Tul
lahonu, some thirty miles from Murfrees
boro, .,- ~. oi
This looks as though We had gained a VIC.
tory; yet at a fearful loss. A dispatch lying
before us places our loss in killed and woun
ded at nine thousand and five hundred, and
says that out Of one hundred and thirty six
Coloncls engaged nineteen we're killed. The
loss OF officers IS described as terrible. 1t is
safe to'inier il we have any thing like a cor
rect outline OF these bloody engagements
that the rebel loss was much larger than
ours. The greatest heroism, we are told, 4,
was Displayed on bothisdes. end both Fed
erals and Con ederates fought like demons. u
The question has come and must be met
For what end have so many Of our brave
Western soldiers been sacrificed down in
Tennessee? Those who control the adminis-
tration o. our Government tell US the Union
cannot be restored as it was, and that they
do not intend it ever shall be. This idea
they are reducing to practice as fast as they
thirk the people will bear it, without eagag-
ing in open revolt. Are our soldiers longer
to be se9juyating the South, and holding it-
as conqured territory. with garrison, fort
and military stations to. be manned by a
standing army of negroes according to the
Presidents late proclamation? And are our
white soldiers TO be made the victims OF in
terminable and barbarious warfare for the
sake ofdeiending and protecting the freedom
OF the negroes in the Cotton States, whom
the President has declared emancipation
and to whom he has pledged the army and
navy Of The United States? Our soldiers as
well as the people at large must be. sati.. ..fed
on allithese points, before this war which is
becoming more and more awfully destructive
can be suffered with their consent to go on
much longer. They are not like dumb beasts
