Our friend, Lieut.. II. Il. L. Ninf;ev.

Ourfriend, Lieut.. II. II. L. Winfrev,
has shown us beautiful sword pre-
scented to him by Dr.. J. w. Vance ::
also a pair of solid silver spurs, pre-
sented by Col. Sam McNeely. The
gifts are not only ornamental bu,
useful, and speak well for the donors.
Men who are thus liberal, deserve !;
passing notice for their encourage
ment to those who are striving to help
their country. Livery thing thus
given to the soldier, will prove a
check to the enemy, and the recipient
under no circumstances, we think
will show cause for regret to his
friends. Gifts Of this charactercould
not be better bestowed.

The Latest HMode.ss

Good fashionable authority in New York
vouches for the fact that no lady of "ton -
will dare to appear on Fifth avenue or on
Broadway with trailing dress or long net
ticoat. Short dresses are now in style.
They are scolloped around the edge, and
are worn over balmoral .jupons, Of length
to display the kid boot, or else the skirt is
Topped up at every seam, nearly to the
knee, showing the colored petticoat, of mo-
hair, cashmere or silk, trimmed either to
match the dress, or in tasteful contrast to
it, and in correspondence with the shade
of the hat or mantle worn. The leather
boots have very high heels, oolored, per-
haps, and strings and tassels of leather,
also. The petticoat is short enough to dis
close the instep, at least. To every dress,
suitable for walking, French modiStes now
attach little rings, through which cords,
running to the waist, to join another cord,
which is drawn at will around the waist
when lady prepares to promenade, and
loosened within doors, thus allowing the
dress to resume it's original length in the
salon. Hoops and skirts are quite ex-
ploded in Paris, founced mohair skirts be-
ing used instead, to enable the dress to fall
gracefully.

dead Indians seven and eight miles from
the field, eight and ten in squad.
The officers of the command set the
number between $50 and 200. We cap
tured $50 men, women and children, and
several chiefs. The most prominent among
them is the Yanctonnais chief big Head"
"Little Soldier" (who by the by is friendly
and was taken with his little girl in his
arms). The Indians were all painted and
decked in their war costumes, lances and
shields, bows and arrows, rifles, shot guns,
war clubs, &c. Our loss was nineteen
men killed and forty-one wounded none
missing.
We captured, as near as we could esti-
mate, 100000 rounds of dried buffalo
meat, and destroyed near 500 lodges
with their contents.
We remained two days at the Indian
encampment, destroying and burning
We killed over thousand dogs. which
were hitched to "traveis" upon which
little babies, camp kettles and other house,
hold goods were packed. We killed also
about one hundred and fifty ponies. The
majority of them were wounded in the
uSut, anu WcIO Alllcu Wy OIucI uoAG udy.
We secured 10000 pounds of elegant
buffalo meat, nicely packed in buffalo hides
prepared especially for this purpose, for
issue to our command We captured
about three hundred ponies alive, and have
them with US.
For distance of four miles from the
encampment, we found where the Indians
had cut the ponies from their "travies,"
and skedaddled leaving everything behind.
Little children were found in all parts Of
the field deserted by tlleir parents in their
hurry to escape; and such complete
route was never heard of-Bull Run was
no patching to it. 1t is certainly the
greatest damage that has ever been inflict-
ed on any Indians in the United States.
Since our return here, we have heard
that the Indians acknowledge over two
hundred killed; and they admit that it is
the worst blow the Indians have ever re-
ceived from the whites. Fcom all we
could learn, Sibley killed tiity-eight In
dams.
We captured a great many traps, such
as revolver cartridges in original packages,
mimic balls. sabers, Enfield rifles, &c,
which evidently came from Minnesota.

Napoleon and ROsecranS.

A letter dated from near Chattanooga
thus refers to some of the recent exploits
of Gen. RosECRANs:
Prate of Napoleon crossing the Alps
This army has already overtopped them
four times, three hundred miles from its
base, and at the very nucleus of the enc
my's railroads, where he could readily hurl
reinforcements, if he had not nearly ex-
pended his ponderous prcjectiles of that
description. The historian quantity takes
Napoleon from his pictorial charger, and
transfers him to the back of an unromantic
mule. Our generals have gone up some
of these mountains leading their horses
invariably, if they were seduced into
"short CUTS" On that over-rated ascent,
Napoleon had heavy details dragging up
his artillery and baggage. Here we have
had no details-the whole command put
its shoulders to the wheel. Division trains
and batteries were helped along by an un-
divided division of infantry, every man
finding plenty of extra duty in that line.
Lookout Mountains are twelve miles
across and two miles in ascent, by a road
which rises one foot for every two passed
over. How much worse are the Alps?
Loose, huge and rugged stones obstruct the
road; and where there are no stones, there
are roots and stumps. Trees hem in and
narrow it; and where there are none, there
are destructive precipices inviting the
clumsy army vehicles to speedy descent.
If you could have seen these slow and
Atlas-like labors, you too would call Ma
poleon's passage the exploit OF pigmy. If
you could have seen gun dragging its
slow length up this mountan-side, with a
dozen painting horses hitched to it, and a
cloud of men Juggling at the wheels if you
could have seen the extremely inextricable
confusion of spasmodic wagons and strug-
Cling teams; of shouting and sweat-drip-
ping soldiers; of dead horses and wrecked
wheels thrown over the bank; of dust
knee-deep and rocks knee-high jumbled
together and called a road, you might ex-
claim with me that, aside from the histori-
cal sanctity of the feat, the "barely practi-
cable " Alpine achievement of Napoleon
will not look well beside the quadruple
passage of the Lookout Mountains by
Rosecrans.
This campaign is the most remarkable of
the war. The Right Corps, since crossing
the Tennessee River, has already marched
one hundred and twenty miles-over noun
tains, wish you to remember-over noun
tains. Since the country has been ex-
plOred, this army no longer condemns Buell.
for hardness in moving south of the Ten
nessee River last year. 1t would have been
fatal to his small army.

At 10 A. M. the regiment on the right
Of the brigade was advanced into an
open field to the support of battery
which was in action immediately on our
right, the line facing the north Scarcely
had the line been halted in its assigned
place, when furious fire of musketry and
artillery was opened on it from the edge
OF the woods bordering the field on the
west, and 800 to 400 yards distant.
The brigade front was instantly changed
to the left, the movement being made in
good order, though under fire, and our
line at once opened on the enemy.
After few minutes firing charge was
ordered, and we advanced at the double
quick across the field and into the woods,
driving the enemy back upon their sup
ports. Here the engagement was con-
tlnued for fifteen or twenty minutes, when
the enemy moved off by the right flank,
clearing our front and getting out of our
range, even when firing to the left oblique.
Inc regiment was then withdrawn and the
brigade reformed, facing the south. Pres
emily an artillery fire was opened on US
from the east, and our front was changed
to face it, After remaining here in posi-
ton for about half an hour, we were NOV
ed off distance of mile or more to a
hill on the right OF our general line of bat
tie, where, at 2:3O P. M, we again became
holly engaged with musketry. The enemy
charged repeatedly and desperately on our
position here, but were always repulsed by
the cool and deadly fire of our rifles. The
firing here continued without any inter-
mission until 4:45 P. NJ, when the enemy
temporarily withdrew from the contest.
Two other attacks were afterwards made
on us here, but both were repulsed, and
darkness ended the fight at about $50
PM.
Our loss on this day was twenty-seven
killed and seventy-two wounded-none
missing-being more than one-third of our
entire number. Some eight or ten men of
other commands, who had Joined us tenn
porarily, were killed while fighting brave
ly in our ranks l regret that | cannot
give their names and regiments.
The conduct of the men and officers of
my regiment was on both days uniformly
gallant and soldierlike beyond praise.
If any one of them failed in doing his
whole duty, do not know it.

A black velvet bonnet made perfectly plain,
tulle cape covered with rich thread lace; broad
folded band of sepia velvet, pointing at the
cape, and terminating on both sides, and fast
ened with rare jet ornaments A bunch of
ostrich feathers formed unique and stylish
trimming for the front. The face trimming
was of tulle and moss rose buds; white
blonde tabs and long heavy sepia ribbon made
this one of the richest bonnets of the season.
Another stylish tn 0ugh old bonnet, attracted
attention. 1t was composed equally of silk
and velvet. Upon the right side, the velvet
was perfectly plain; upon the left the silk,
which was corded, laid in fine folds. A rich
quilting of velvet separated in the centre the
the two materials. The cape was one half
velvet-the other half tulle. The bonnet was
trimmed on the crown and cape with rich vel
vet flowers; the face trimming being of blonde
and scarlet velvet.

New YORK, Oct. 1, 1868.

New York, Oct. 1, 1868.
To the Editor of the Herald.
In your issue of this morning / observed a
notice of the execution of Spencer Kellogg,
fourth master of the United States gunbOat
Essex. 1t is there stated as an extra from the
Richmond Enquirer-'' The wretch had previ-
ously confessed his guilt" &c. l believe this
to be totally false
Spencer Kellogg, to my certain knowledge,
was never in the rebel service. He was not
captured in the capacity of spy. This officer
was true man-true and loyal to the Govern
ment OF the United States. At the time of his
capture he was the fourth master of the Essex
and was directed by me to destroy some boats
at Port Hudson employed in transporting pro-
visions from the Louisiana shore He succeed
ed in performing faithfully the duties assigned
him, and while standing on the bank was
with four other men belonging to the Essex.
taken prisoner by a party of guerillas. The
was the intention Of the party taking him
to shoot him. l Immediately applied to Gen.
Butler for an officer of the rebels to be placed
on board the Essex, to be executed in place OF
Kellogg. General Butler sent for me- and 1
found in his Office Ex-Governor Wicklif who
pledged his word of honor that not hair of
his head should be hurt, and Immediately on
his return arrangements should be made for
the exchange of Kellogg. General Butler was
satisfied with this statement but was not, as
l had been informed ON more than one Occa-
sion that the rebels were determined to shoot
any officer belonging to the Essex that they
would capture.
Spencer Kellogg was only twenty years old
when captured. He served under Gen. Lyon,
a short time with Fremont, and after the lat
ter's displacement, Joined the Essex in the Ca
pacity of common sailor, and in consequence
of correct department, brave and valuable SER
vice rendered to the United States government
received the appointment of fourth master on
board the Essex. The execution of Kellogg is
an outrage on the usages of war. He was not
captured in the capacity of spy nor did he
ever enlist in the rebel engineer corps. re-
peat, he was a brave. gallant and faithful Off
Ger to the United States.
