The Spells of Battle,

The Nashville Dispatch says that from a
gentleman who arrived from Jacksonville yes
terday, we learn many interesting particulars
concerning that section. 1t will be rennem-
bered by our readers that in the attack on
Jacksonville by Forrest, some sixteen trans
ports and five gJnboats were sunk An Off
Ger from Detroit, employed by the Govern
nient, has succeeded in raising the boats with
oa lie MACHINERY and ammunition. sarge
containing 900 tons Of railroad iron, which
was sunk three miles below the town, has been
raised. The ammunition now being tran
shipped to st. Louis from Nashville is re-
shipped at JohnsonvilIe While the negroes
We're unloading the shells about ten days ago,
one of them exploded, killing three of the
negroes and badly wounding four Others
About two thousand boxes of ammunition
considered defective and dangerous to carry,
were laid aside at that point. We are in
formed that up to Friday, 1880 tons of am
munition have been shipped from St Louis to
Nashville over the Northwestern Railroad.
The river at Jacksonville is so low that all
the bars are high and dry, revealing all the
spells of battle sunk during the siege of that
town.

NEGRO HIGHwAYMEN.--A day or two
since, while Col. Richard NJ HARRISON, the pre-
siding Justice of Prince George county, was
proceeding honieward from this city, he was
halted by two stout negro men, who came out
from the old breastworks at New Market, and
bis life OF his money peremptorily demanded
One Of them seized the Colonels horse by the
bride, and the other advanced to his vehicle
Col. II. being unarmed and without means of
defence, wisely decided to yield up his money
OF which he had only few dollars about his
person. The highwayment then allowed him
to pass on without further interruption. The
country is indeed coming to a pretty pass,
