LIMA.

The Richmond Wing, Of the 9th instant, says
that its latest advices from the Blsekwater river,
below Petersburg, Va, represent that all is
quiet in that direction, notwithstanding rumor
would have it on Sunday that appearances indi-
Gated the close proximity Of a sanguinary con-
fict. General PRYOR's command has just re-
turned from q reconnaissance around Suffolk.
On the 29th of December they met the enemy
at Windsor, but few she'll were sufficient to
put him to fight The reconnaissance was pro
duetive Of good results, for, besides giving the
Yankees a big scare and relieving the inhabi-
tsnts of the depredations to which they had
previously been subjected, much valuable infor-
nation was obtained, which viii have its due
effect upon future movements. It has also been
eseertained that five thousand troops left Suf-
folk on Sunday week to reinforce FOSTER, at
Newbern, n. C.
The same paper also states that information
has been received to the effect that nine Yankee
steamers and four sailing vessels passed up the
Chowsn river, n. c., on Monday week, and on
Tuesday night took on board, at HOlly's wharf,
FIVE thousand infantry, their destination being
NeWbern, to reinforce FOSTER. The feet left
tie wharf on Wednesday. The impression pre-
vailed in the neighborhood that FOSTER de-
signed making a raid on the Wilmington rail-
road, while the main force would make for
GOldsbOrO' and take up the line of march to-
ward Wilmington. Judging from present indi-
cations, we may look for stirring news from
North Carolina before many days.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-Yesterday morning the
horses and baggage trains of three batteries
Of artillery-Captain NJ. Y. D. Corput's COM
pany, from Rome, Georgia Captain Anderson's
company, from Virgins, and Captain Wydelrs
company, from Alabama-arrived near this
city, and, in crossing the trestle work at the
end Of the Pearl river bridge, yet with one of
those unfortunate accidents against which it
seems almost impossible to guard. The men,
horses and baggage wagons Of one company
had passed over in safety, bat as the second
company was approaching the covered bridge,
the whole trestle structure, several hundred feet
in length and about forty feet high. instantly
went down, and, Of course, prseipitated every
thing on It into the seething food below. The
utmost confusion prevailed, but steps were taken
20 render every possible aid. Of the men who
went down all were rescused uninjured except
eight. OF the latter, two suffered severe but
not dangerous injuries-the others slight. About
forty horses and mules were known to have
been drowned last night. Many were got out,
but some fourteen still remained in the water
and on the floating timbers at dark. Most Of
the baggage Of the men belonging to Captain
Anderson's company was in the stream. One of
the officers who was riding at the head of his
company, went down seated upon his horses
back, and, on the timbers reaching the water,
neither himself or horse were disturbed in
their balance, or the latter thrown from his feet.
Rather : long leap on horseback. The bridge
has, we learn, been considered insufficient for a
long time, but as it had recently been extern
siveIy repaired, no fears were entertained.
Under all the circumstances, when we consider
tho length and great hight of the work, and the
food into which all were precipitated, the escape
seems miraculous.

LETTER FROTT PORT HUDSON.

ROhl dUDSONs tdAuaig ~ 4oNos
EDITORS APPEAL; If there are any fears existing in
regard to taa safety Of this point, let them be at once
dismissed. All the Yankees in this world, and in
that region where pine knots and cord wood wouldn't
bring the first cost of cutting, combined could not re-
duce Port Hudson.
Ranks new leyies down ct Baton Rouge are very
quiet just now, and report says are very willing to play
the game Of let each other alone for a while. Gen.
Pemberton was here the other day, and is already a
great favorite. His prompt action in one little matter
at least gives every indication that he does not consider
the possession of common hard sense any dstriment to
even a West Point graduate
The Yankees are still r~lvaging the country below and
back of Baton Rouge, but never venture above town.
Our cavalry is ever on the alert, and if not restrained
by headquarters, would prevent many a turkey and
ham from finding a grave in a Yankee stomach.
SCOTS regiment is greatly needed here-why don't
headquarters order it down3 The darkies are still ske-
dadding from the surrounding country.
Yours fell in with Bynum's 9th Louisiana battalion
stationed somewhere between here and Kni-O-w-a the
other day aud was surprised at the r~egimental appear
ance Of Baton Rouge's last Captain f. R. Chinn is
now in command, and has the gallant 9th in a high state
Of discipline. The battalion was baptized at the battle
Of Baton Rouge, and are now ready for another tussle
with the blues.
Strange rumors among the Yankees down in Baton
Rouge in regard to the ceming Of old stonewall to take
command g. the Port it is said, caused many Of them to
be taken with pain and faintness. As we cannot divide
the old hero and have him present in every potion of
the South, would it not be well if some of our generals
would condescend to invite the energies and ~quickness
Of percep ton of the Virginia champion.
The state capital was destroyed by fire by the Yam.
KEGS, and many private houses are being cut up peace
meal by them for fuel.
The capital cost a half million, and its scoundrelly
destruction is a hard blow to Baton Rouge.

As indicated in our special dispatct from Gre
NADIA, we have no doubt that all the troops in
the camps of instruction in the No;ihwestern
States, are now being forwarded to strengthen
the Federal column under RosEcRANz in Gen.
BRAGG's front. We have already been advised
that the Federal troops have ell left Kentucky
for the South we know that RosECRANZ tele-
graphed the governor Of Indiana for all the
troops in that State, and we have had reiterated
intelligence that troops were leaving other
States and hence, there is every reason to be-
neve that the fighting Federal general in the
West win soon be at the head of a much more
formidable force than ever before. And, as be
is famed for being an active, working soldier,
as has been demonstrated, we may SION expect
to see operations resumed in Middle Tennessee
upon a scale hitherto unprecedented ia that sec
ton.
Should RosECRANs be made strong enough,
as he probably viii be, we may expect another
important movement before he attempts to dis
lodge Gen. BRAGG. Knoxville and East Ten
nessee will be aimed at by one portion of his
forces, while the other forces BRAGG to remain
where he is, retreat, or attack The Federals in a
position chosen by themselves. This idea per-
vades all the Federal correspondence from their
army we have seen. What forces we have to
protect the Eastern division of the State, we
do not know, but presume they are, or will at
once be made, ample to save it.
R~oSECRANz's army has always greatly out
numbered that of BRAGG. This has been gen.
orally understood, and the only thing for which
General BRAGG can be eensured, if e~ensured at
al, was that he gave them battle, with this
knowledge, when and where he did. We pre-
sumo, however, this was a necessity, and the
gallant manner in which our troops behaved,
with the decided advantages they secured, leaves
the South nothing to regret, beyond the loss of
so many of her brave men. The battle at Muir
freesborO' was fought with great odds against
US, and we gained it; but this fact should not
lull US into a false security, through which we
will permit our gallant little army 10 be over
whelmed by the masses the enemy il cOncen-
trating. We are fully posted, and not to pre-
pare to strengthen cur friends at once, would be
suicidal.
OF course the enemy viii seek to make the
Cumberland and Tennessee their channels of
communication with RosECRANE. By the first
supplies can be forwarded to Nashville at will;
by the second an army can be thrc wn into
BRACES rear, at Decatur or Huntsville. Shall
this be permitted Shall the miserable and
self-saerifcing, do-nothing policy, that has hith-
erto obtained on the rivers be continued Shall
we 90 on meekly permitting our enemy to use
an advantage so easily prevented IfHo-if we
do not at least make an effort to prevent this
the people of the South may as well end the
struggle, quit suffering. and refuse to longer be
taxed to support the war.
