EDITORS SESTINEL:-Being a soldier, and far

is an account of the battle of Cross Roads, Tenn.
The account of the battle seems to have been

that Col Dunha ms brigade consisted of the 50th

meEt of the 9Th Tennessee, the whole effective
force amounting to ,54S men. Now, the par
ticipant says the fight opened about nine in the
morning and was holly contested for three hours,
when col. Dunham's brigade was driven back
with some slaughter.
As to when the fight commenced this partici-
pant does not know, or else he intends injustice

holly contested, that is true But as to the
Southern cavalry driving Col Dunham-far from
it, for he held his position at every point And
| would just add that the PARTICIPANT says: As
TO the planning and consummatiOn OF the battle,
it is due to Gen. Sullivan and n Haynie alike,
and they should both share the glory" Now,
this leaves Col. Durham clear out of the fight,
when, in fact he did all that was done. He sat
on his horse in the morning within less than five
steps of the man who shot the first gun, and then
rode in front OF his brigade during all the rest of
the battle; and his voice could be continually
heard. above the roar of the artillery and mus

Important Habeas Corpus Case.

NEW YORK, Aug. 81
The following important case came up to-
day in the Supreme Court. Michael Barrett
being held by Col. Nugent as soldier, appli-
cation was made TO the Supreme Court to-day
for his release, as being under age In his re-
tarn to the writ of liabeas corpus, Col. Nu-
gent states that Barrett was arrested at the
esonseript camp on Long Island, Boston har-
Dor, where he was accepted as a substitute, af-
ter having deserted from the 18th New York
cavalry This was denied by the counsel for
the respondent. Col. Nugent declined to pro-
duce the body of Barrett, and claimed that the
Court had DO jurisdiction in cases where the
parties are held under the military authority
of the government of the United States. a
motion is now made for an attachment against
Col. Nugent for not producing the body as di-
rected by the writ of habeas corpus. which
was argued by j. p. Joochemsen for The an
plicant, and LII. Classy for the Provost Mar
shall. The court took the papers and an
nounced that the motion would be decided on
Saturday next. The counsel for the appli-
eants stated in his argument that this was to
be made test case between the United States
military and the State civil authorities.

The Pursuit, OF Quan,rell,s GuerrilIas.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. Y.
QuantrelPs men are scattered in their FAST
nesses throughout the border counties, and are
still being hunted by all the available troops
from all parts of the district. Many of them
have abandoned their worn out horses and
gone into the bush on foot. They were all re-
mounted at Lawrence on the horses they cap
tured, and they went OFF leading their own
horses laden with valuables, nearly all of which
they abandoned in the chase before they got
far into Missouri. Over 300 horses have al
ready been taken by our troops, including
some of those taken at Lawrence. Most all
OF the goods and money stolen have been re-
covered, and will, as far as is possible, be res
tored There are reports that twenty-one
more of Quantrells men have been killed,
making total of about eighty which will
probably be largely increased before any con-
siderable part of our troops are withdrawn
from the pursuit. No prisoners have been
taken, and none will be. All the houses in
which stolen goods were found have been des-
troyed, as well as all the houses OF known
guerrilas, wherever our troops have gone
Gen. Ewing intends to destroy the houses of
all persons in the border counties outside of
our military stations who do not remove by

eral order

The Daily News eulogizes the proclamation
of President Lincoln announcing system of
