CHALK BLUFF, No., May l, 1861
AT 10 o'clock last night General Mcneil was
sent forward in this direction, from Bloom
field, In pursuit Of the enemy. Two bsigades,
Ist Nebraska infantry and plenty Of artillery,
composed his command. Colonel Glover, I'd
Missouri volunteer cavalry, and Colonc! La
grange, 1st Wisconsin cavalry, commanded
brjgades.
After marching fourteen miles, Gen. Mcneil

Iowa caralry diemounted as skirulishers,
Grove the rebel gunneEs from two Of their
pieces, but while bringing up two squad
rors for charge on them, the rebels rallied
and carried off their guns in another retreat.
They were soon followed By our forces, and
though the country was difficult, aud roads in
places ,ery bad and m'ry, the rebels were
again oyertaken, six miles further on, and
after few preliminary movements were most
ga1lantly charged By Col. Glover and his Sd
cavalry, Missouri yo1untcers-the rebels feel.
numbers falling to risc no more: Our own
brave men suffered somewhat, having one
killed and abont twelve wounded. Among
The latter, Lieut.. Col. Carrick, Sd Missouri
cavalry, volunteers; aud Capt Mitchell, of the
zane regiment, whu was probably also taken
prisoner. Lieut.. kirkpatrick, Sd Missouri
cavalry, Was severely wounded.

Coming Down.

Joseph 4. Edgerton, who was bitter par
tisan last summer and fall, and Tna reckoned
one Of the most malignant butternuts in the
Fort Wayne Congressional district Of Indiana,
and WAS elected to Congress as such, In re-
cent letter to the Democratic Convention st
Warsaw, used the following language:
"1nm free to say, however much may dis
approve Of the policy aud condnct Of the par
tt now administering our Federal Govern
ment, that, as yet, they hsve done no acts
justifying any other opposition from the citi-
gems Of Indiana, than peaceful opposition
through the press-through free, public and
private speech-through the courts, aud
through the ballot-box."
While he condemns the Couscript LAW IL
unHiec, be admits that it Is based On the clear
right Of Congress "to raise armies" and
quotes prcccdents to show that the same pow.
cr has been exercised heretofore. Hence, he
advises that the law should have fair trial,
md no forclble opposition made to 1t. This
is very rational advicc, and, If followed, will
cave trouble and promote good feeling on ali

CAN'T or THE % Iowa CAVALRY,
La GHAN1E, Tenn, April 30, ICES.

As you arc already aWnrc Of the great acttyt.
ty.p1cvail1ng in this region OF rebeldom, I will
give you q sketch Of what our regiment, With
othcrs, have been doing lately.
On Friday, the 17th inst, our brigade, con-
sisting Of the 9Th and 7th Illinois cavalry, and
The I'd Iowa cavalry, started southward with
five days rations, and Tcre to trust to Proyl-
dence, through rebel generosity, for ham,
which, BY the Hay, WAS most bountifully sup.
piled. at noon We passed the well known
Dick Smith plantation, Mt which place one Of
our 9th Iowa infantry boys was most bsutally
murdered last Janusry, and in retaliation for
the murder, Gen. Denver ordered his residence
burned, with all his household effects. he
had an excellent library and much valuable
furniture destroyed. We encsmPed for the
night, a few miles west Of Ripley.
Atnoon, tho second dag, We stopped and
took dinner with Col. joel Il. Berry, ono Of
the Mississippi delegates To the Charleston
convention, who voted the State out Of the
Union. He had heard that nc were comiog
and left at midnight tho fight before. He
l4as been Colonel in tho rebel army, but re.
signed, and now enjoys 4 private life. His
the old fellow has been in the habit Of sketlad-
ling whenever our forces came any
where near hut 1t SO happened that we came
unexpectedly By his p1nce, called. and took
him, bis horse, revolver, carbfne, aud seEcr.1
fine mules. We took him along, but through
some fair promise he WIS released.
Our regiments each take separate route,
and meet at sisted points for several reaeons.
We get all the shotguns. riles, musksts,
mules and horses that VIC can, break the shoot.
! Ing irons, and tell the negroes to mount the
mules and follow. Quickly do they go at oul
bidding.
The news of our advance went some six o,
eight miles ahead Of US, and the whole conn
