ATTACHMENT IN A CHARGER When
the late General Sir Robert Gillespie
fell at the storming Of Kalunga, in India,
bis favorite black charger was, at the saI Ie
of his goods, bought By the privates of the
9Th Dragons, who contributed their prize
money, to the amount Of s., 500, to retain
the animal among themselves. This
horse was always led at the head of the
regiment on march, and at the station at
Cawnpore was usually allowed to take his
ancient post at the color stand, where the
salute Of passing squadrons was given ielli.t at
drill and on reviews. When the regimen.
was ordered home, the funds Of the pri-
Yates running low, the horse was bought
for the same sum BY a gentleman, who
provided q paddock for him, where be
might end his days 10 comforts but when
the regiment had marched, and The trum,, ta.uirL
pet sounded no more, he refused to eat eat.
and, on the first opportunity, when be
was led out to exercise, broke from his
groom, and galloping 70 his ancient sta, /,
ton on The parade, neighed aloud, dropped
down, and died. s0'T31 M 81, y J, III Dna 80 =, =

WHINING WAYS AT WAsHINGroN.-W
give below an extract from letter writ
ten by G. E. Spinner, of the U. s. Trea-
sury department, to Col. Louis D. Wat
kins, of the 9th Kentucky (Yankee) cav
airy, in reference to an application made
by the latter for promotion. The letter
was found on the battlefield of Chicka-
mhuga:
The President told me there were thou
sand applications for Brigadierships, and the
friends Of each knew their particular caudi-
date to be the only one worthy ofpromotion.
As it was, he endorsed the papers over to the
Comniander-in Chief of the army, and asked
him to read the letter l had written to the
Secretary of War in your favor scme time
since.
The President recollects your sister we'll
and favOrably; and unless we can succeed
without, am not at all sure but she had bet
ter come ON here and bring her winning
ways to bear On the President and Secretary
Stanton, who find knows her too.

FROM THE KANAwHA VALLEY-There is
now but very small number of Yankees in
the Kanawha Valley, Gen. Scammon, the

portion to Tennessee, either to reinforce

the Valley consists of four regiments and

Richmond Gsoys.-This noble old city com
pany, who were among the first to volunteer
their services iu this war, and who have been
gallantly fighting for their homes and for
many warm friends and admirers here
Some few days since Mr.. John Gibson. of
Richmond, received a letter from friend in
the army, stating that six or eight of the
Grays were then doing duty in their bare
feet, and that the entire company, about
thirty in number, were sadly in need Of shoes
and socks. Making this fact known to
twenty-seven acquaintance, they promptly
joined him in a subscription Of 81, ,29O, with
which he purchased thirty pairs OF good
shoes and sixty pairs Of socks, and forwarded
them to the boys without delay. Such cx-
and have their effect upon the noble young
men in the army who are ever ready to bat
tie for those at home.

The LATE CAMPAIGN IN EAST Ten
NEssEE.-Since the fight at Zollicoffer,
some weeks ago, the department of East
Tennessee has been placed under the
command Of Gen. Williams. He received
the command near Bulls Gap. A cor
respondent of the Lynchburg Republican
gives the following history Of the cam
paign in East Tennessee since that
time:
This, of course, placed him in very en-
barrassipg positiOn-more than q hundred
miles from his base OF supplies, and more
than seventy-iv miles from any infantry
force to fall back upon, with haltOrganized
cavalry force, hemmed in between the Molli-
chacky river on one side and an impossible
mountain on the other, and liable at any
time to be fanked on either side, it is alto
gether miracle that he ever got out at all.
At AN early hour on Saturday morning,
the 10th inst. fight was opened in his front
and all along the line. Several furious at
tacks were made by the enemy during the
day aud gallantly repulsed every time until
5 o'clock r. NJ, when desperate and over
whelming assault was made upon the centre.
first with grape aud canister from battery
of six guns concealed in q ravine, and then
charge by three regiments OF infantry, caus-
ing Col. Trimble and Major Halsey to give
way and retire by the flank to the rear Of Cols.
Carter and Giltner Pursuing their advantage,
the enemy had the temerity to continue the
charge through the open field upon Gen.
WIS batteries. When within about one
hundred and fifty yards OF the guns
most destructive and terrible fire was opened
upon them, causing their solid columns to
wayer, break, and finally retreat IN great con-
fusion. The rout was complete. The posi-
tiOn lost before was regained, and the battle
field held until - o'clock at night, when 1t
was discovered that large columns were adj
vaucing to the right and left, with view of
completely surrounding the little army

CALLING FOR kOnR IKN.-The Abo-
lition Dictator, perhaps alarmed At the
advance Of Gen. Leo northward, has is
sued . proclamation for three hundred
thousand volunteers to aid in putting
down the rebellion. The inef6ciency Of
the late draft has doubtless rendered It
necessary for Mr.. Lincoln to make an
other appeal to the devoted patriotism Of
the Northern fanatics, who find it inf
nitelv more Convenient to pay their
tribute to the Government than risk their
carcasses in battle.

TBE president AT TIE SoUTH.-Presi-
dent Davis arrived at Selma, Ala, on the
18th inst. The Selma (Ala.) Dispatch
gives some notes of his trip:
His personal suite consisted of Curtis Lee.
son OF Gen. Lee, and Col Johnston, son OF
the lamented Albert Sidney Johnston. He
was met at the steamers wharf by Mayor
Keith, Of Cur city, and rode in q carriage
with the former to the Gee House Upon
arriving there he was shown into the pas lOr,
where he was visited and conversed with by
large number Of officers and civilians, be-
sides several ladies, who also rendered their
congratulations. Amongst the latter was a
venerable lady, the mother of Hon. q. j..
McRae, now our most important agent in
Europe, who had been an old neighbor and
friend Of the President. Their meeting, we
learn, was a most affecting one, and the
changed and sad situation of the present, IS
contrasted with the past, keenly felt and ex-
pressed by both.
After a short time spent in the reception
Of his visitors, the President was urged to
fpcak to the people, which he did from the
front door of the hotel, in some brief re-
marks, occupying him scarcely ten minutes
The President very firmly endorsed General
Bragg, and declared, with Longstreet, the
gallant, to attack; with the chivaliOus Wheel
er, and other subalterns, to assist, ard the
brave and able Braxton Bragg to devise, the
COUNTRY could look for nothing but success
He spoke highly of Alabama and her troops,
saying he had been shown a battle worn
flag, belonging to the State, which had been
carried through the bloody fights in Tennes-
see until pierced by more than fifty of the
enemy's b1llets; and that its gallant bearer
he had just promoted for his heroic con-
duct
lie also spoke Of the necessity of strength
ening our armies from the large number OF
home reserves, and mentioned the present
jaded condition Of Wheeler's cavalry in Ten
nessee and the want Of mounted infantry to
relieve, to some extent, their great labors.
The President closed amid much applause,
and shortly afterward proceeded to the de-
pot, where he took the train for Meridian,
Miss
A lady here, intent on seeing the Presi
dent, awaited his arrival most anXiOusly at
the depot, and, upon seeing him, rushed
tranticaly to where he was, exclaiming in
pathetic accents, ooh, Mr.. President, will
You let the Yankees come to Selma?" ~
assure you, my dear madam, they shall not" +"
replied the digEified Mr.. Davis, and there
upon the overjoyed fair one smacked his lips.
No dainty "bus" it was, either, but rcgu-
lar " sockdolOger," that sounded like the re-
port of a small pistol.
