DEATH OF w. R. w. CoBB.-W. r.
W. Cobb, of Alabama, recently expelled
from the Confederate Congress for dis
loyalty, was killed few days since, in
North Alabama, by the accidental dis
charge of one of his own pistols. He
has for some time past been consorting
with the Yankees, and was not long
since in Nashville. His Yankee friends
had presented him pair of pistols,
which he wore upon his person. One of
them dropped to the ground and went
off, the ball penetrating his bowels and
coming out at his back, causing death.
Cobb was formerly member of the
United States Congress. Though man
of moderate abilities, he was shrewd
and adroit politician, and succeeded in
winning the confidence of his immediate
constituents to an extent which nothing
could shake and in his various contests
he defeated some of the ablest men Ala
bama has produced.

everything was reported in readiness.
Immediately in front Of South Flo

Nearly opposite the west point of this
island, the pontoons were placed in .

"At the sound of the signal gun every
boat was raised in the arms of the men,
moved briskly forward towards the
water, and launched, one after another !;
and the river was soon alive with boats
polling towards the island in gallant style;
the men on the south bank keeping up q
brisk fire upon the enemy, who could be
seen moving about with considerable ra-
pidity. After polling straight for the
island, each boat suddenly turned down
stream, and rounding the west point,
made for the northern shore, all eager to

when the loud cheering of the boys on
the south bank announced that the
enemy were retreating; and they could
be seen dashing up the hill towards town
in regular devil-take-the- e-hindmost
style. The skirmishers now moved ra-
pidly forward, killing and capturing a
few of the enemy; and just after dark
the brigade entered the town."
A letter from Forests command gives
us a brief account of his successful af-
fair at Johnsonville. 1t says:
Upon arriving in the vicinity of the
town, he was surprised to find four gun
boats at anchor in the river and acting
as convoy to transports. Not in the
least daunted, however by their pre-
sence, he put himself at the head of his
command and dashed into the town.
The small garrison surrendered. So
quick were his actions that the trans
ports did not have time to get up steam
and away before his men boarded them
and took possession. The gunboats
quietly. succumbed to their inevitable
fate Thus, within the short space of forty
minutes, four gunboats, carrying eight
fine guns each fourteen splendid steam
boats and seventeen large barges--boats
and barges heavily ladened with subsist-
ence and clothing for Sherman's army
fell into our hands almost without the
loss of life to the gallant command
that made the capture. General Forrest
was not prepared to bring away sup
plies. Sheer necessity compelled him to
destroy, after supplying his command,
(both the inner and outer man. this i'm
mense quantity Of supplies.
During the fight the town was fired
and every house burned, with but few
exceptions.
1t is roughly estimated that the value
Of the property that fell into our hands
from this brilliant affair will amount tC
$1,000, ,OO0."

LATER FROM THE NORTH.

Northern papers Of Saturday, the 26th
instant, are received. There is not a
word direct from Sherman except what
the Yankees get from the Richmond pa
pers.
GENERAL HOOD REPORTED THREATENING
KENTUCKY.
The New York Herald has the follow
ing about General Hoods movements:
We have reiteration of the statement
that the rebel army, under Hood, which
for so long time continued in the vici-
nifty of Florence, Alabama, has moved
northward into Tennessee, and recently
occupied Waynesboro', the county town
of Wayne county, in that State. Wayne
is one of the southern border counties OF
Tennessee, joining North Alabama, and
Waynesboro', is about fifty miles directly
north of Florence Hood is reported to
be threatening Nashville, Tennessee, and
Paducah, Kentucky, though at Waynes-
boro' he is far distant from either of those
places, both of which are pretty well
prepared for his reception. That portion
of the Union force confronting him is
concentrated at Pulaski, in Giles, an
other of the southern border counties of
Tennessee, and about forty miles, in di-
rection little south of east, from
Waynesboro'.
A New York letter says:
Though there are some persons who
pooh-pooh the Washington telegram to
the Philadelphia Eoening Telegraph as
to the offer of the three Southern Go
vernors to make peace with General
Sherman, there are others who are con-
vinced, if not of its entire. truth, that
there must be something in it. Gold
has fallen in consequence; and the fall
would be greater were it not for the scary
Louisville dispatches announcing the ad-
vance of Hood towards Kentucky.
