DEATH OF A FINE STALLIoN.-The
celebrated " Hayden horse" died in Al
bany on Tuesday morning last. His
death was occasioned by too high feed
ing, be having been kept hog fat ever
since he was small colt He was one
of the handsomest horses in the state and
was great favorite among stock raisers
in this county. His age was six years.
Large sums had been offered for him in
his lifetime. The cause of his death
should be a warning to all owners and
breeders of fancy stock against too high
feeding. Better give them enough to
safety hunger and trust to nature for the
rest.

IMPORTANT FROM TENNESSEE.


The advance of the army of the Cum
berland appeared in front of Chattanooga
on the 2lst inst, and opened fire on tn,
city at l0a. N. The enemy replied from
10 guns, mostly small ones, which die
little damage, but also with one ID
FOUNDER, which swept the opposite shore
and one fire from which killed a horse
and took off the leg of A. b. McCook o
Lilies battery. Our fire was very de
structiye, and every battery which open
ed on us was disabled. Lilies battery
threw shells with great precision into the
embrasures of the enemy. The work,
of the enemy on the river are reported
to be very strong, the parapets Of which
are not less than fifteen feet wide. Sew.
eral water batteries on a level with the
river, have also been discovered. Moor.
ed at the wharf are two steamers anC
opposite the city is a pontoon bridge o.
AZ boats. The largest of the steamer:
was sunk by our fire, and the smaller
one disabled. A heavy explosion heard
short time after led to the belief thai
the latter was also totally destroyed
An attempt to destroy the pontoon bridge
was frustrated by the sharp fire of the
rebel sharpshooters. Forty prisoners
we're taken. Two rebels were killed
and several wounded. A train of wag-
ons belonging to the enemy was captur-
ed. Our advance report Hills (late
Hardees) corps is along the railroad in
the direction of Bridgeport. A detach-
ment sent opposite to Harrison discovered
no enemy.
Gen. Wilder crossed the Tennessee
river, Saturday night, and burned a
small railroad bridge near Shell Noun
tain, thus severing communication be
tween the right and left wings Of the
rebel army. In view Of the impracti-
cability of the common roads in that To-
cality, this is an important affair. He
recrossed in ferry boat, and two barges
brought them to Stevenson, Ala.
Contrabands report that Gen. Joe
Johnston arrived, with Two trains Of
troops, on the 20,h, superceding Gen.
Bragg, who has retired to Atlanta. This
statement is corroborated by citizens. A
large force was discovered on Sunday
near Chattanooga There are no rebel
infantry north Of the river. Storms
rebel brigade Of cavalry is in the vicinity
Of Smiths cross roads. Forrest is at
Kingston, preparing for n rebel raid.
Eleven deserters from the lst louisiana
regiment came into Gen. Negley's lines
Saturday night. They were detailed
lately as a crew for the rebel steamer
Point Rock. They abandoned the
steamer on Friday, 20 miles below Chat
tanooga. They report that y, p. Hills
and Folks corps are at Chattanooga, and
say that the Generalization Of the rebel
army is complete. Furloughed men
from Pemberton's army lay that his
orces cannot be got together again.

STABBNG AFFRAY IN GLovER.-We
learn that drafted man-Horace Han
cock of Coventry, came near losing his life
at The hands of Mr.. p. S. Webber OF
Glover, two or three days ago. 1t ap-
pears that the two men were passing each
other just after dusk, and without word
being spoken by either party, or any sign
OF disagreement between them being ex-
hibited, Weber drew knife and stab
bed him in the thigh, making bad cash.
We have heard no cause assigned for the
act. Bad rum and poor whiskey was
the probable one however, as Mr.. Web
Der was the biggest kind of soak.
2. S. Since the above was in type
we learn that Webber had few moments
before been into the Union House and
kicked Mrs. Clark-the owner of the
house-into the street, and that it was in
response TO her cry for help that Mr..
Hancock and other drafted men return.

met Weber. The affair is now being

Capt. Rodgers, but is highly gratified
with operations of the fleet and the
army, and is very hopeful of ulti
mate success. Up to the moment OF

morning have been hurting about one
shell per minute at Sumter. Two

FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

The rebel newspapers in North Car
olina and in Virginia clamor loudly for
the suppression of the Raleigh Standard,
the official paper of the state, which bids
defiance to jeff Davis and all the de-
structives in the southern confederacy.
Its circulation is larger than that of any
other journal in the South, and is rapidly
increasing, which, together with the en-
dorsement of its course by public meet
iugs in different parts of the state, indi-
cate conclusively that it but expresses
the wishes of the people of North Car
DINA. Its columns are open to the
ablest writers in the state, and their
statesmanlike articles against secession
are unanswerable, It's editor, w. W.
Holden, who caned the rebel editor OF
the Raleigh State Journal short time
since, threatens John Mitchell of the
Richmond Examiner with like treatment.

fusing passes to females to visit the army

A REBEL OPINION.

FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.

In accordance with an order from
Gen. Heintzelman, Col. Swain OF
SCOTS 900 on Friday night sent
"a detachment of cavalry, consisting
of three companies, to reconnoiter
on the line of the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal. BY Saturdaynoon they
had made circuit of 40 miles and
captured II rebel soldiers with their
horses and equipments. These com
posed the party that recently plum
dered the canal company of their

THE CAVALRY OPERATIONS IN MIssIs
SIpPT.

The cavalry expeditions sent from
Vicksburg and Memphis, met on the 18Th
at Grenada with the object to capture or
destroy the cars and locomotives run
there from jackson by the rebels. The
rebels we're on the lookout and the cars
were filed with street rails ready to fire
on the approach of our troops. The
train was run over the bridge across the
Yallobusha and the bridge burned. Fif-
ty-seven locomotives and 400 cars were
destroyed by the rebels. This makes
II locomotives and GOO cars captured or
destroyed, as the direct result of the
Vicksburg campaign.

SUCCESSFUL EXPEDITION INTO MIS-
SISSIPPI.

About two weeks since Maj. Gen
Hurlburt ascertained there was q
large amount of railroad stock at
Grenada, Miss, which the rebels
were endeavoring to get off south
by making temporary repairs on the
railroad. With his usual energy
and promptness, General HurIburt
arranged an expedition to destroy
this stock, first sending a request to
Gen. Grant to make a diversion
from the south to aid the enterprise.
The expedition started from La
grange, Tenn, on the 18th, under
the command of Lieut.. Col. Phillips
of the 59th Illinois mounted infant
~, and reached Grenada on the l 18th,
driving Gen. Simmer with 2000
men and three pieces of artillery,
from the place. They there de-
stroyed 81 locomotives, upwards of
400 cars, the depot buildings, ma
chine and blacksmith shops, large
quantity of ordnance and commissa-
ry stores. They captured about so
railroad men and a number Of other
prisoners. After Col. Phillips had
thoroughly accomplished his work,
Col. Winslow from Gen. Grants
army, arrived with a force from be
low. The expedition returned to
Lagrange on the Goth. Great praise
is due Col. Phillips and his gallant
command for enduring the hardships
of such a march through Central
Mississippi, in the middle Of August,
and for so thoroughly gripping the
energy of the rebellionin
the Southwest.

A LATER REPORT.

An officer just from the army Of Gen.
Rosecrans, reports that the centre of Ger.
Bragg's army was at Chattanooga when
he left. and that the left wing was at
Bolton, where were Gems. Buckner and
Cleveland with a force Of 10000 rebels.
Gen. Bragg can muster an army of about
thirty thousand fighting troops. The
previous reports of desertions from the
army of Gen. Bragg are fully confirm
ed. The mountains 10 East Tennessee
are swarming with rebel deserters, and
it is estimated that oae thousand Of them
come into our lines weekly.

AFFAIRS AROUND NATCHEz, MISS.

!
A letter from Natchez, Miss.
says: Gen. Ransom is still in com
mand here. The rebel Gen. Logan
has about 1900 cavalry some twenty
miles east of us, with which he hangs
around and tries to cut off strag-
Iglers and foraging parties. Gems.
Ransom and Lee are cooperating
now to get in and save for Uncle
Sam large quantity of cotton mark
ed G. S. A., which has been discov-
cred just this side of Logan.s pick
.ets. Logan wishes to burn it but is
afraid he will burn his own fingers.
1t is likely that several thousand
bales will be secured for us.
The rebels still attempt to cross
the Mis8issippiin Aatboats and skiffs.
1t is said that Writ Adams with a
battalion Of cavalry succeeded in
getting over from the west side to
Rodney in this way some nights since.
His men were in small boats, and the.
horses swan.
Joe Johnston's troops are still
near Meridian, but it is likely that
the Alabama or Tombigbee river
will be his line.
A gentleman from Mobile saysI
that Gen. Johnston has assumed
command there and thrown 10000
troops into the city. Great efforts
are making to strengthen the works.
