Of Capt ScheetZ's men notified the Fourth
Ward police that Jas. Welsh, better known as
Paddy Welsh, " as q deserter, and requested
them to arrest him if he should come within
their reach.
Yesterday, officer Frazier met him and at
tempted to arrest him Welsh resisted, and
after hard struggle, in which the officer had
his face considerably bruised and scratched,
Welsh broke away and escaped. Subsequently
Welsh WIS making toward his camp, having
his uniform under his arm, when he was met
by officer George Miller, who stopped him.
Welsh dropped his Uniform and set himself for
fight with Miller. He made one blow at the
officer, who, as he did so, struck him with his
staf and Knocked him down, and took him
before Justice Giberson, who sent him to Jail
for court for the assault and resisting the
oficer. A little boy picked up the uniform
that Welsh dropped and carried it to Welsh's
sister. She had 1t in her hand, in the street, as
ofhcer Howard passed along. The officer see.
ing the uniform supposed that she had been
furnishing citizens clothing 70 soldiers, and
arrested her. She was taken before Sergeant
Cronin, when the matter was explained, and
she was dismissed.
TWAS currently reported yesterday afternoon
that Welsh had shot Frazier, and Frazier had
since died. We learned this morning that the
only shot fred was by Frazier, the ball just
grazing Welsh's side, cutting the skin and
drawing blood.

Fourth Ward Station, and this morning when
called 10 trial the case was clearly proven
against Keller, and Justice Giberson held him
to bail for court. Hunter confessed that he
was drunk. so drunk that he remembered
nothing Of the affair, and did not want to pros.

the Justice fined him go S. for being drunk in

The Attack Upon Mobile.

monitor Tecumseh was blown up by
q rebel torpedo. No other vessel was
lost. The rebel ram Tennessee sur

Admiral Buchanan lost . leg in the
action and is now . prisoner in our
hands.
The land forces, under Maj. General
Granger, invested Fort Gaines, and
with light batteries opened on the
fort simultaneously with the passage
of the forts by the feet, taking the
water batteries in the rear, and 81
lencing them. Our loss is not report.

blown up aud evacuated by the reb.

New Orleans papers Of the 9th inst.
have later particulars of Farragut's
movements. The Hartford, with the
Admiral on board, steamed up to Fort
Morgan, delivering such successive
broadsides as to effectually silence all
the rebel guns and water batteries.
At the same time the monitors engag.
ed the rebel ram Tennessee. The lat.
ter made several unsuccessful attempts
to run down our vessels. Finally our
monitors closed with her, and she was
rammed by the Monongahela, Lacka-
wana, and Hartford. The Tennessee
soon ran up the white flag and sur
rendered. She was the best armored
vessel Of the rebel navy. and is not
greatly damaged. Her commander,
Buchanan, is not expected to live.

August ., 1864.


DEAR INrEILlGENcER IL should have
written oftener this summer, but Uncle
Sam has had 50 much work to do that
his boys could find but little time to
write; besides, writing material is
very scarce here. But as the corn is
now planted, and every thing is in a
prosperous condition. l will try and
give you a short sketch of our doings
since we left Prospect, Tenn, which,
was on the 2sth of April. The wealth
er was extremely warm, and as We
were not at that time used to march
ing. it went rather. hard with some OF
Us for the first few days.
Although VIC had no intimation of
our destination, we marched joyfully
on, convinced that all would be well
in the end. ! am not quite sure but
we should have marched a little light.
err if We had known why all the blue
coats were moving eastward. We
arrived at Huntsville, Alabama, on
the evening Of the FIRST Of May. We
passed through some of the finest
country on our way from Prospect to
Huntsville that ! have seen in the
South. We had formed such poor
opinion Of Dixie institutions in gene.
raj, that we had sbout come to the
conclusion that the sunny South "
vas like some of its institutions, visi.
bic only to q few and could not be
comprehendcd by the masses.
But since leaving our camp at pros.
pect we have seen much good farm.
ing country and for the beauty Of its
natural scenery the country Through
which we passed exceeds every thing
Of the kind | ever saw. Earlier in
the season, when the foliage of the
common trees was of lighter hue
than at present. and the evergreen
pines looked almost black, while the
pure white blossoms Of the dogwood
intermingled with many other flowers
Of different colors, the mountains over
which We passed presented . picture
which but few could help admiring.
When we contrast the beauty of
some Of these hills with their desolate
appearance after they have been cvac-
uated by our large army. the dsstruc-
tive effects of war fash wildly before
10. and we rejoice that the misguided
men who threatened to carry on this
war on northern soil have not been
permitted to do so. while we look with
anxious hearts to the attainment of
that object for which we toil-a spec
dy, honorable and permanent peace.
We left Huntsville on the morning
Of the I'd, at an early hour, and reach
ed Lsrkinsville. small town on the
Memphis and Charleston railroad. on
the evening Of the Sd Of May. We
marched about thirty miles that day,
and that, too, over rough country.
So you see Bony's great marching
fsats are put in the shade when you
come to speak of the marching done
by Uncle Sans boys. On the morn.
ing of the Ath We took the cars. and
