THEY FIND OUT THEIR MISTAKE.
A GARD FROM SENATOR HUNTER.
HE DENIES BEING A RECONSTRUCT
ZIONIST.
JEFF. DAVIS ARABIAN HORSE CAP
TURED IN NORTH CAROLINA.

Richmond papers Of Monday have been re-.
ceiyed. They have no news except a state.
ment, not given on any authority, that four di-
visions of Sherman's army were repulsed by
Hardee, at some point north OF Fayette vile, on
the 10th inst.
The Dispatch alleges that Sherman's forces
engaged were repulsed four successive times,
with heavy loss, and turned of the course they
were pursuing, which, in the Confederate
opinion, would prevent him from forming q
junction with Schofield.
The Sentinel (Jef Davis organ) says there
Is no Off cial information Of the repulse Of Sher-
man, but gives credence to it.
The Richmond papers have probably found
out their mistake by this time, and that Sher-
man has formed junction with Schofleld, and
has rot been whipped by Hardee.
Senator Hunter is out in a card in the Rich
mond papers denying that he is in favor Of re-
construction. He advises the people Of the
South to fight as long as their President JEFF J
and commander in chief (Lee) think there is
any hope of success.
The Dispatch announces the arrival at City
Point of a large fleet OF gunboats and trans
mills, machine shops, &c, OF all descriptions
and made q manufacturing city of it.
The Richmond papers say that the Arabian
horse presented to jeff. Davis by the Eiceroy Of
Egypt, and brought over by q blockade runner
and which was sent into the interior Of North
Carolina for safe keeping, has been captured
by Sherman's scouts, who announced their
Intention to send it to President Lincoln.

The Commercial Advertiser has Washing
ton letter, which says:

This has only to 60 on a little long ger, and
the nation will have to mourn another dead

Commercial says foremost among these "a.

gress, who strangely seem to imagine that their
i'll success with the people gives them pre-

emphatically to dissent.
1t is Of the gravest national consequence that
the President should now be able to Tx his at

Every effort was made to get the vessels up

success, ow ing to the low water.

the squadron was ordered to drop back to an
anchorage off the Light House. Gen. Newton
stated to Commander Shufeld "that he had
accomplished all that he contemplated at

Admiral Stribbling says there is no doubt
that preparations had been made by stalking
out the channel, removing distractions and
garrisoning the tort to make st. Marks in some
sort compensation for the loss OF Whining

Navy now has possession of the mouth Of the

importance whatever,) 1 consider the object

This efectually closes the river SO long as
we keep an adequate force there.
