mont failed to capture jackson might have
gathered some reliable information had
they been with the army, and such infor-
nation as they are not likely to obtain.
Although in our pursuit we took, accord
ing to Gen. Fremonts report, about 900
prisoners who had given out or skulked out
and struggled behind, yet Jackson.s army
was under most excellent discipline. The
rebels consider it the best Corps in their
army, and there is no doubt that it de-
serves the praise.
In his retreat jackson DESTROYED every
bridge and culvert on the road, and every-
thing else which would, in the least re-
tard our prog ess.
he placed Ashby, with his cavalry brig
sde and battery, in the rear TO cover his
retreat. better man could not have been
selected He had pc formed that part on
previous occasions and was eminently
qualified for the task At every coed de-
fensive point, he would draw us his men
in line, plant his battery, and, as our cav
ally advanced, commence a vigorous fight.
by the time our cavalry would get into line
and regiment or two of infantry would
come to their support, Jackson's trains
would have gained some distance, Ashby
would Timber up his guns and leave. If
his position was covered by woods, these
woods had TO be skirmished which reouir-
ed an hour or two, by which time Ashby
had taken another position a few miles
further on.

"a STEAK OF FCRIvALRY"-Oneo of the most
inhuman acts that has been perpetrated
since the war commenced, was attempted
to be carried out by the rebels on the
night of the evacuation of Fort Wagner.
According to the statement of a wounded
man, discovered in the boom proof, he had
been lying in dying condition for four
days. The rebels refused to give him even
a swallow of water to quench his thirst,
and told him when they left that he could
not possibly live, and had better, before
dying, do as much for the cause as Law in
his power. That he might benefit by this
advice, they placed in his hand a string at
tached to a fuze communicating with the
magazine before alluded to, with instruc-
irons to pull it when the fort was well fill
ed with Yankees, and so send them all
himself included, into eternity. But the
wounded rebel, although almost dead when
our men entered the fort; had faint hope
that perhaps he might live if properly at
tended, and gave that as reason for not
puliing the string. He was taken to an am
bulance, and died while being conveyed
to the hospital

Great excitement has been caused by the
Unionists.
Kennels first army corps constructed a
bridge in the face Of the enemy's rife pits
and effected crossing. The resistance
was stubborn but short Our artillery
force was too strong for the enemy, who
fed, leaving 67 prisoners from the 18th
Georgia and Louisiana Regiments. They
report that Jackson is cor handing the
right wing Cruth I'd cor was in the
rear of Banks Ford with fun facility for
crossing.
The corps which crossed at Kelly's Ford
is moving toward Chancellorville, south of
Fredericksburg. There is great excitement
to-day in consequence of reports from
Morgantown that the rebels defeated Col.
Mulligan at Fairmount, and we're return
ing to Morgantown in force, having re-
ceived reinforcements from Beverly.
A special messenger arrived here last
night from Greensborough, five miles from
Morgantown, with intelligence that Multi
gan had attacked small force under the
rebel leader Jones, and was getting the
better of him when the enemy was rein
forced by large force under Imboden, by
the Evansville pike, and by Herman by
Indian creek, so that Mulligan and his lit

retire.

A PoET's IDEA OF THE WAR-At the
great unconditional Union meeting lately
held at indianapolis, j. Buchanan Read,
the poet, prefaced his reading Of two orig
inal patriotic poems, with the following ell
oquent as well as poetical remarks:
When this unnatural rebellion brok out,
I was five thousand miles from here
was standing among the ruins Of the old
republic of Rome, my feet white with the
dust of the palace of the Caesars all Italy
at that moment was clamoring for the
