freesboro, Tenn. At last accounts it had last-
ed four days, and the end was not yet. The
result is not known, but we are hopeful, and
believe that he has been successful, and has
defeated the rebels. We give in our news
columns the last report we have seen of the
fighting, and hope ere we go to press, to be
able to announce a complete victory for the
gallant Rosecrans. .
We have also reports of an attack upon
Vicksburg by Gen. Sherman, who represents
'a day’s hard fighting with success on our
side, but more fighting to follow. From Rebel
sources, we have a report of his being re.
pulsed on the second day, but hardly credit
it. We think he must be successful; if not
able to accomplish it alone, he will in a few
days, have the assistance of Gen. Banks and
Admiral Farragut from below.
We have reports from Arkansas of one of
the most brilliant dashes of the war. Gena.
Blunt and Heron crossed Boston Mountain
on a forced march, surprised the Rebels at
Van Buren, destroyed atesmboats, &c., and
completely demoralind Hindmans ' army,
so that three regiments of Missourians, one
: from Texas, and a Cavalry regiment deserted
and returned to their homes.
We have also reports of various matters,
such as the rout of Morgan’s and Forrester’s
Guerillss, &c.
The most painful news, however, seems to
be that of theloss of the MONITOR, which
foundered at Sea. off Cape Hatteras, while on
her way South. It was generally surmised
that she was bound to pay her respects to
Charleston.
The latest reports from all quarters will be

far, have been very popular and uniformly
the best ever attempted in this place. Music of

possible to make it pleasant and successful,
has been done. Supper is to be furnished at

It is seldom that we see a letter from any
off our ping months’ men, so cheerful and un-
complaining as the following from a “Moni-
tor” in the 27th. Reg’t, which we are kindly
permitted to publish. It is a private letter
to his parents, from a young man well known
and respected in this community, and the
rough, soldier’s life he is now ing, is
strangely at variance with his “ h life ;’v
but we are glad to see that. he bears his cross
so patiently.
CAMP NEAR FALMOUTH, Dec. 26.
I think it about time that you should have
a letter from us. since Father’s visit to this
place. I hope he was not disappointed in
the country, though I am afraid he was; at
any rate, I don’t believe he was marvellously
prepossessed with camp hfa. (Chas. has just
come in with some coffee, and I must stop to
drink it, and exit a hard-tack.) We went
over after the boxes, Tuesday, and had a jol.
" 3y good time over there, ’though we have all
i we can eat now, since we have got in camp.
1 t was only during the march, and the battle
at Fredericksburgh, that provisions were
scarce, and then, being a little betterofl' than
some in having some spondulicks with me,
I had all that I wanted, though things cost.
For a six cent loaf of bread, we had to pay
50 cents; cheese 40 cents per pound; sugar
the same, and other things in proportion.
But to return to the boxes. Everything
was in as good state of preservation as could
be expected. The turkey was r little moul-
dy, but just as good as the Bank—to soldiers.
The Roast Beef was a little mouldy outside,
but all right inside; the rest of the things
bully, especially the mince pie. The boys
. :said they were the best pics they ever tasted.
‘The apples came in place first-rate. * *
l The morning after Father left, we started
i-on the march for our new camp, and arrived
" :at that place about noon, made a tent of our
'rubber blankets, and slept on our ovorcoats
pretty comfortably. Since then we have
been to work building our houses, and to-
night we have got one of the beautifullest lit-
‘tle pig pens to sleep in you ever saw. It is
about 6 1-2 feet wide and 9 1-2 long. Six of
"us inhabit that little domicil, and we have
_ had a lot of men came around and tell us
that we have the nicest one on the ground,
and we are most happy. Wednesday eve I
again went out on picket, and in the morn-
_ 'ing, about the first thing, the rebels across the
.river hollowed out to us, and said, as we used
. 'to out west, “ Christmas Gift ;" of course we
responded in the same way. They gave us
a very warm invitation to come over and
take dinner with them, but we told them we
had no Pontoon Bridge at hand, and being
supplied with turkey and chicken we would
.have to decline most respectfully. They said
they had turkeys and lots of whiske d
would like to have us come over. When we
Were relieved we bid them good bye, and
they did the same. This is the first time I
have had a. chance to talk with them. * *

Feeling quite interested in perusing the

bath for the year 1862; I thought it might in-
terest some to read the sketch of the South

n. The “ Norwalk Gazette ” wishes
to amend the proposals to permuuetluy lo-
cate the grounds for holding the County
Fair, by substituting Norwalk for Dan-
bury. From one cause or another, the
Fair has always been a pet institution with
our neighbor, and it would be quite un-
natural for him not to feel that Norwalk
would be the best place in the county for
its future and continued accommodation.
There is at least one objection to that
location, which must have been seen and
felt by all interested in the success of the
nominal exhibits of the agricultural and
mechanical prosperity from what the
Fro man called his “ water lots,”
atretc log off in unfeuced proportions on
the other side of them, (threatening at
one time to rival in richness the gold beds
Of California, and to make each individ-
ual N orwalker a millionaire,) the product
is not of a character to enhance the in-
terest of the annual exhibitions of the
Society. 0n the other hand, the large
fruit, cattle, and agricultural districts ly-
ing north of us, which ‘come to time’ so
splendidly whenever there is an exhibition
within their reach, point most significant-
ly to the propriety of adopting the
original motion. We must not be under-
stood as speaking disparagingly of our
neighbors. Whatever they may lack in
contributions from the Form or the
Work-shop, they can supply by furnish-
ing their fair ones, (without which a fair
is a slim strain) and the double transpor-
tation caused by their coming over the
Road jg much less damaging in its effects
than the sending Of our stock down there.
If pushed for arguments in favor of cen—
sidering this the agricultural centre Of the
county, we might suggest the probability
of the two or three local Societies near
us, which have already succeeded to most
respectful dimensions, uniting their inter-
ests with the County Associations, provi-
ded a convenient, central, and permanent
location could be found. When that
point is gained, all parties ought to be
satisfied—Danbury Times.
fi' If the honest conviction of the “ Nor-
walk Gazette” is of any importance, we are
very free to assure our neighbor, that as an
ardent lover of agriculture, and all that en-
nobles it, we should deem it an error to per-
mantly locate our County Fairs anywhere. As
a matter ofrmmey getting, we think the move-
ment certain in a pecuniary result if located
here, than at any other part. As a towns-
man of Norwalk, and interested personally
and pecuniarily in all that tends to her busi-
ness, thrift and prosperity,we deem its pres-
ent location here worth more than the cost
of a free lot and enclosure, to the town. But
failing in this, if the Society is to be man-
aged for money alone, in our humble judg-
ment, it could better afford to purchase all,
rather than locate elsewhere on donated
grounds.
....-.
The New Militia Law.
Aside from its shorts to make a draft
Of militia more universal and stringent,
the new militia law offers much stronger
inducement than the old one for volunteer-
ing into the active militia. By the law
almost all the old cases of exemption are
blotted out. None except State Officers,
Judges of the Supreme and Superior
Courts, and a few officers of benevolent
institutions are exempt, but all, including
members of the Legislature, are liable to
draft. -While thus a large number who
have heretofore escaped are taken in, the
acting militia are relieved from their pre-
vious liability to be called upon by the
Governor to answer a call for troops. They
are placed in nearly the same position as
the members of the Governor’s Guards—-
that is, a body simply for State defense—
The law provides that they shall not be
called upon to do duty out of the State
for a longer period than three months in
any one year, and as the government will
never go again to the trouble of calling
for three months soldiers except in some
dire necessity where the very life of the
nation was immediately threatened, and
where every man would spring to the res-
cue, the active militia be‘come, practical-
ly, the only real exempts from a draft.
This action of the Legislature will mate-
rially assist the most necessary work of
forming an educated and experienced mi-
litia corps as a school for volunteers, and
to furnish ofiicers in case of any further
calls upon the State—Under it, it is to
be hoped that in every county and every
large town the citizens will encourage the
immediate organization of companies.
We ‘know that the Govenor desires it,
and is anxious to forWard such a move-
mcnt in any way in his power.-——This ci-
ty especially, ought not to rest till it has
a full bottallion of men who are well ofli-
oeoed and well taught. The other pro-
visions of the law are highly favorable to
such organization, and if those who are
looked to as prominent citizens, will take
l the matter in hand the winter will not
i pass without seeing our militia system
I again established on a firm and compre-
Ehensive basis. < New Haven Courier.

Trcc Pcddlci‘s. l
As the country is now full cl free agents l
or pcddlcrs, who are sellingitrces from for-
eign nurseries, it becomes every person wish-
ing to purchase trees, to be on their guard
lcsthe be deceived. Many of these agents
are shrewd “ Yankees," and succeed in mak-
ing many persons believe that their trees are
really superior to any other. They say theirs
are superior, because their nurseries are Very
extensive, embracing from three to five or
more hundred acres, and being so extensive
and systematized, trees can be raised better
and cheaper than in those nurseries of less
size; that trees raised farther north in a
colder climate will do better than those rais-
ed here —that they have many new varieties—-
that they are far superior to any now cultiva-
ted in this locality, &c.
It is not strange that persons, who have
given this subject but little thought, should
be deceived by the smooth talk of these
agents With their many arts to deceive, it
becomes all persons wishing to plant trees,
to examine the truth of these statements,
lest he may, when too late, exclaim “ I have
been sold.”
We are partially familiar with the manner
of growrng trees at the large nurseries of
Western New York. There is a spirit of ri-
valry among the nurserymen there, as t
who will havethe largest number of acres
under cultivation with trees.
It is difficult, and in fact, impossible to ob-
tain that amount Ofland suitable for nursery
purposes in one tract, consequently, fields of
ten, twenty, thirty or more acres are hired
here and there, wherever it may be obtained,
some of which may be two, three, five, and
some ten miles from the office or center of
business.
It is obvious that no person or firm thus
situated, and with such a quantity Of land
under cultivation, can have the cultivation
and raising, all conducted by themselves,
consequently the business of rearing is trust-
ed to foremen, who are not directly interested
but hired,- for that purpose, while the pro-
prietors are constantlypccupied in the office
or with visitors. Nurseries of such extent
and thus scattered about, cannot but be more
or less neglected, and many pieces do not
and cannot, from necessity, receive the care,
cultivation and attention which is so neces-
sary to the proper form, accuracy of varie-
ties and development of a good tree. It is
presumption for a person to argue that better .
trees can be rtfised under such a system,
than in nurseries of smaller dimensions,
where the cultivating and propagating vari-
eties and training, can be under the special
direction of the proprietors, and where the
proper cl cuts for the most perfect devel-
opment of the tree are within his control.
To cultivate five or six hundred acres with
trees, and make sections of it alike produce
vigorous, healthy and merchantable trees, is
next to an impossibility. The quality and
variation of soil will prevent it. For this
reason, the ratio of ,poor trees will be in a
larger proportion than in a well managed and
properly cultivated nursery :of less dimen-
sions. There are many good trees raised at
these larger nurseries, as good perhaps as
can be raised; but such trees cannot be sold
here by agents or peddlers,(which adds much
to the expense), boxed and transported four
or five hundred miles, and sold less or for the
same price, as trees of the same quality
grown here. Trees three or four years old,
that are suitable for orchard purposes, are
bulky, and the boxing, freight, expenses of
agents selling, &c.,would itself amount very
nearly, if not quite as much as trees Of first
quality are sold at here. Trees brought the
distance these agents now bring them, must
be very small to be sold here at the regular
prices, and leave a margin to the nurseryman.
That trees will do better here brought
from a more northern exposure, is inconsist-
ent and contrary to facts. No plants or ani-
'mals flourish or thrive better than in their
natural soil and climate. TrOpical plants or
animals do not flourish here, neither those of
the Frigged Zone. If fruit trees will do bet-
ter here, brought one or two hundred miles
north of us, why will they not do still better
brought two or three hundred miles further
north? Might it not just as well be argued.
that a man from the north emigrating south,
would be much hardier and less liable to dis-
ease than a native of the climate ?
There are many varieties of apples, peach-
es, '&c., that succeed well in Canada, that
are worthless if cultivated here, and so it is
still further this way. Many varieties of ap-
ples and peaches, that are at the head of the
list, as best, in Western New York, when
cultivated here, are almost, if not quite worth-
less. For this reason then, it is unsafe to
plant many of these new varieties recom-
mended so highly by these Western agents,
until they have been first tested in this soil
and climate. If the tree, in producing its
fruit, is influenced by the soil and climate, is
it not reasonable to suppose that soil and
climate willfhave an injurious effect upon
the growth of the tree itself.
There is no reason why trees brought here
from foreign nurseries are better, or will do
better than those grown in this locality, but
the chuncgs are against them. The expenses
of freighting forbids sending any but small
trees, and the length of time they are often
subject to, (caused by delays in shipping) be-
fore they reach the purchaser, makes it not
only an unsafe, but often times, a dear oper-
ation to the planter.
Purchase your trees of the nearest respon-
sablc nurserymnn in your locality, whose
reputation will be a sufficient guarantee for
your confidence. It is unsafe to buy of irre-
sponsible agents or pcddlers, who have no
reputation at stake, but whose only object is
to make the most out of his business. Plant-
ing and raising an orchard, is attended with
more or less expense, and to find, after care-
ful cultivation for several years, the orchard
almostwortbless, in consequence of having
unprofitable varieties or poor trees, would
notonly cause a great disappointment, but a
loss not easily repaired.

The Soldiers’ Voting Law.
The Judges of the Superior Court met
in this city on Monday, by invitation of
the Legislature, and chewod over the sol-
diers' voting law till 10 p. to. They at
but came to the unanimous opinion that
the law is unconstitutional. We do not
wonder at the complaints of our lawyers
that the opinions of our Supreme Court
have not, for years, been quoted as good
authority in other States. - Our soldiers
in the field, though they loose their votes,
will see that the Republican party has
done all in its power to secure them the
privilege, while they have been persevere-
ingly Opposed by the so-calledQDemo-

STAFFORD, C. H. Va , Dec. 28, ’62
Msssas. Enrrons :
My last letter left us at Chantilly, un-
der the slight impression that it might be
our stopping place for the winter, but we
had laid still long enough. The cry of
“On to Richmond” had again been caught
up, and we must leave. We broke camp
at. 8 o’clock on the morning Of the 10th,
and at 10 o‘clock, we started for Fair-
fax Court House, where we arrived at
2 o’clock, P. M., and stopped for the
night. Here we left all of our sick who
could not march, who were sent to the
hospitals in and about Washington. Mr.
Howe arrived in camp that night, accom-
panied by a Pay Master, and immediate-
ly began the task of paying off, pegin-
hing at Company A, and getting as far
as the fifth company before midnight.
The next morning we left Fairfax and
marched to the wooos known as Fairfax
Farm, and here I would say, that that
days’ march was enough for the boys.
The mud—real genuine mud, was about
a foot deep on the level, and it can be
easily imagined what progress the men
could make. It was almost an impossi-
bility for the artillery and baggage-wag-
ons to get along, and several times did
the regiment have to bait, and the men
assist in starting them. At Fairfax
Farm the balance of the regiment were
paid, and here it was that two of the
members of Company F deserted, after
having received their pay, whose names
are Charles H. Knapp and James Brown,
both of them are residents of Wilton.
We proceeded on our march at daybreak,
and marched till night, when we encamp-
ed in the woods near what is called the
“ Old Gate.” During the day, Gen.
Sigel passed through to the advance of
the column, and was vociferously cheered
by the men. We marched again at day-
break the next morning and proceeded
as for as Dumfries, which place we reach-
ed about uoon. During the day the can-
nonading at Fredericksburg could be
heard very plainly. The regiment lay
in this, place until the afternoon of the
next day, Sunday the 14th, when they re-
ceived orders to march to Falmouth.
Here your correspondent was detailed
with some thirty men from the regiment
to report for duty to the Provost Mer-
shall. As we could not leave unti re-
lieved by some other regiment, the conse-
quence was, that we di' not leave until
the morning of the 15th. We reached
this place on the morning Of the 16th,
and were ordered to remain until the regi-
ment returned, which they did on the
following day, and arrived here at noon,
after having marched up to within two
miles of the fight. The boys marched
well, all expecting they would be in time
to take a hand with the rest of our Con-
necticut regiments. The day after the
regiment arrived here, their camp was re-
moved ,to thick pine wooos, where the
boys have made themselves quite comfort-
able, aud are now like Micawber, “wait-
ing for something to turn up.” A late
order at Washingtonbr else the fear of be-
ing captured, has kept the Sutlers in that
city, and has made the supply of fresh
provisions and vegetable very scarce. It
has also stopped the usual supply of liquor
that has been sold in the camp, and such
a rarity has it become, that some of the
officers have substituted catsups. The
boys received the box containing the
mittens, on Christmas day, and I am an-
thorized to return their many thanks to
the kind donors. Arrangements have
been made, I understand, to forward all
boxes, to Acquia Creek, so thatlboxcs for
the 17th can easily be obtained, the
Bridgeport Farmer to the contrary not-
withstanding, as I saw an article in their
last issue, stating packages could not be
forwarded to this regiment Lieut. Col.
Walters is nondin command of the regi-
ment, and Capt. Fowler is acting Major.
laCol. Noble is President of a General
Court Martial, now being holdeu, and

I took a trip up to Fredericksburg on
Christmas day, an account of which I will
give you in my next. Our orderly re-
ceived his commission last night, as 2nd
Lieutenant, in place of W. A. Kellogg,
resigned. Lieut. Kellogg, Company H,
returned home yesterday, having resigned
on account of sickness. We are expect

that he intends coming to Washington

with which the Northern and Southern
armies have repeatedly engaged and con-

most sauguinnry character. Another
such protracted struggle has made the
Week just closed one of the most event-
ful epochs Of the war.
In the absence of all oficial reports up
to the time of this writing, the telegra-
phic accounts Of our special correSpon-
dent from the scene of the successive cou-
flicts form the only basis upon which we
can rest an Opinion as to the character of
the events that have taken place since
the advance Of Gen. Rosecrans’s army
from Nashville. They are, hOWever,
suficiently clear and authentic for an in-
telligent understanding of the operations
of our army covered by them.
It appears that Gen. Rosecrans com-
menced moving upon the enemy on the
26th ult., with an infantry force of about
45,000 and 120 pieces of artillery. His
army was divided into Right, Center,
and Left Grand Divisions, respectively
commanded by Maj-Guns. McCook,
Thomas and Crittendcn. The advance
was made orer two roads. The left fol-
lowed the main road from Nashville to
Murfreesboro, and the center and right
the almost parallel turnpike from the
former place to Nashville, and thence
over several country roads towards the
enemy.
The right wing first came up with the
rebel outposts on the 26th. On the 27th
both the right and left had skirmishes,
with results favorable to our arms. On
Sunday, the 28th, the whole army rested.
On Monday evening, the army had
reached within a short distance Of Stone’s
River, and on both our right and left the
enemy was discovered posted in strong
force and favorable position on its west
bank, with an evident purpose of accept-
ing battle.
Tuesday, th 30th, Gen. Rosecrans
devoted to recd‘oitering and putting his
army into proper position for the attack
he intended to make the next day. The
reconnoissauccs demonstrated the pre-
sence of the enemy in full force in front
of our army, upon the high ground bor-
dering the river, with his two flanks ex-
posed to view, but the center masked by
a grove of cedar. In the course of the
afternoon McCOOk moved closely up to
the enemy’s left, and Thomas worked
with great difficulty to the front of the
Rebel center, while Crittcnden took posi-
tion in comparatively clear ground on the
left.
During the evening Gen. Rosecrans
received information that the enemy was
massing in front of our right for the ob-
vious purpose of attempting to turn it.
Upon this intelligence, proved true b
the events Of the next morning, he seem
to have based his plan of battle, which
was, as stated by our correspondent, to
await the attack on the right and check
it, while the left was to be thrown into
Murfreesboro’ to the rear of the enemy.
The plan, however, miscarried, owing
to the inability of our right to resist suc-
cessfully the utt'ack made upon it with
daybreak on Wednesday morning by
probably the greater portion of the enemy.
t does not appear from our dispatches
whether our right was taken unawares,
or made to yield precipitately to the sud-
den pressure Of overwhelming numbers,
but the fact seems certain that the divi-
sion of Gen. R. W. Johnson, apparently
in front of that portion of our line, gave
way very curly in the day, and fell back
in great disorder, toward the rear of our
center, with a loss of three batteries at-
tached to its three brigades. This divi-
sion, the old Second of the Army of the
Ohio, had always been looked upon as
one Of the most trustworthy, and its dis-
comfiture proved an almost fatal misfor—
tune. Its rout doubt.essly arose from
the fact that of the three brigade com-
manders, one— Gen. Sill—was killed, and
two—Generals Willich and Kirk—wound-
ed.
Gen. Rosecrans, being appraised of
the critical condition of the right, at
once proceeded to relieve it by an at-
tack with our left. But before it could
be made, the force that had driven back
McCook assailed our center, which, sup-
ported by a portion of the left and what
remained available Of the right, succeed.
ed, however, in resisting successfully.
Until 2 o’clock in the afternoon the
enemy persisted in vain attempts to break
Our center. At that time they ceased,
but were quickly followed by a rapid and
powerful demonstration against our left.
This portion of the line, however, not
only repelled it, but followed up the re-
pulse with an attack in Its turn, forcing
the enemy.back some distance.
Late in the afternoon the enemy aga‘
assayed attacks upon our center and left
without success. Dark at last closed the
action, after it had continued almost un-
interrupted for eleven hours,
While our right was assailed in the
middle of the day, the situation on our
side became very precarious, owing to the
temporary impossibility to replenish the
exhausted ammunition of the artillery of
the center and right, as the retrogade
movement of the latter had given the
Rebel cavalry access to the ammunition
trains attending on the Nolinsville pike.
Fortunately, a supply was brought up in
time to prevent (lliilSII'OIlS consequences.
At the close of Wednesday’s battle,
the enemy occupied the ground held by
our forces in the morning. had captured
twenty-six and disabled six pieces of our
artillery, and taken several thousand
prisoners. They could then fairly claim a
victory.
The doubling of our right on the cen-
ter with the consequent disarrangement
of the entire line, and mixing up of the
different portions of the army, together
with the total disorganization of u por-
tion of the right could but produce con-
fusion in the whole army. The weakness
arising from this and the loss of artillery
manifestly compelled Gen. Rosecrans to
act on the defensive until he could reor-
ganize his troops and make up for the
loss of men and material by re-inforce-
mculsfrom Nashville, win-re the fine di-
‘visiou of Gen. Mitchel, composed largely
of veteran troops, had remained in gar-
rison. Our dispatches at least indicate
that boll: Tlllll'o‘lily and Friday the rebels
were the assailants.
On Thursday morning the enemy again
appeared to prepare for flanking our
right. To forestall this, our right was
strengthened and extended. Finding the
right well protected, the enemy turned
to attack the center, but was repulsed
and severely punished by the left of
'I‘homns’s and the right of Crittenden.
Later in the day the right of the con
ter was again unsuccessfully attacked.—
The greater portion of the afternoon
both sides spent in sharp skirmishing
and muncuVering for position.
During Friday night General Rose-
cruus managed to throw it brigade across
Stone Riva, on life left. The enemy
allowed it to remain undisturbed until
’lfwodivis‘ous came to its :‘tllp—
a Rebel battery was captured by Penn-
sylvaniuus) turnQd into a defeat of the
enemy. Gen. Rosecrans perceiving the
advantage gained, ordered an advance of
the whole line, which was made for some
distance, until night interposed. The
result of Friday’s fighting, as summed
up by our correspondent, was decidedly
in our favor.
We have no means of judging whether
Gen. Rosecrans was in condition on Sa-
turday morning to follow up the advent-
age secured on Friday afternoon. That
another battle was unavoidable to bring
the contest to a successful issue on our
side, seems evident. The dispatches of
the Associated Press relative to the events
of Saturday are confused and contradic-
tory, and we have nothing later from
our Special Correspondent than his ac-
count of Friday’s battle. We trust and
pray that the dispatch, purporting to
come from the post commander in Nash-
ville, announcing our troops victorious
on Saturday, and south of Murfeesboro,
in pursuit of the enemy, will turn out
true. In that event, the news of the
destruction of the bridges on the Ten-
nessee and East Virginia Railroad, by
an incursion of our cavalry from South-
crn Kentucky, just confirmed from rebel
sources, will render the ultimate chances
for the escape of Brngg’s army from
destruction very slim.
Our correspondent puts our loss in
killed and wounded in the three battles
Of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at
the comparatively low figure of 4,000.—
The number of officers seems to have
been disproportionately large. One
General Officer and elevrn Colonels are
reported killed, and six General Officers
and four Colonels wounded, Many staff
and artillery officers are also among the
casualties—JV. Y. Tribune, Monday.

Brilliant Victory in Arkansas.
One of the most daring and successful
raids of the war has just been made by
the Army of the Frontier. Saturday,
Gen. Herrou left Fayetteville, Arkansas,
and Gen. Blunt left Cane Hill, for the
other side of Boston Mountains. The
columns numbered about 6000, went in
light marching order, with six days cook-
ed rations, and marched 42 miles without
stopping. Gen. Herr-on took two batte-
ries without'caissions.
On Sunday morning the two columns
joined at Lee’s Creek, three miles SOuth
of the mountain, and the cavalry and ar-
tillery, 2000 strong, started for Van Bu-
ren, leaving the artillery to follow. They
put to flight the rebel cavalry at Dripping
Springs, killing several, and followed the
flying rebels into Van Buren, Gcns. Blunt
and Herron, in person, leading a Splendid
charge. The rebel cavalry got aboard a
steamer and crossed the river, but two
steamers and 100 prisoners, including
several Officers were captured, and anoth-
er steamer was sunk. Large quantities
of provisions were seized, with mules and
horses. The infantry was hastening up
when the messengef left. Hindman, with
his force, was on the other side of the
river, and dare not fight. The people of
that section were terribly frightened.
Thus a passage is opened to the Arkansas
river.

BATTLE AT VICKSBUBG !
CAIRO, Ill. Jan. 3.—
Despatches from Gen. Sherman, on the
battle-field, at Vicksburg, received at Hel-
ena, Ark. Saturday, Dec. 27th, gives the
following :— 0
General Sherman debarked his forces
on the left bank Of the Yazoo river, ten
miles above its mouth, and forming in line
of battle, advanced towards Vicksburg.
After passing beyond the reach of the fire
of rebel gunboats, Gen. Sherman encoun-
,tered the enemy in force. A terrific con-
flict ensued, lusting five hours.
The enemy were driven back beyond
two bayous that girt near Vicksburg, and
from their entrenched works on the bill,
by shells.
On Saturday night the two armies lay
on their arms with the two bayous inter-
vening. During the night pontoons Were
constructed, notwithstanding the terriffic
fire of the rebels under cover of the un-
dergrowth. '
By sunrise the whole force was en'
gaged, and up to 10 o’clock. the mus-
ketry and artillery firing was very severe.
The rebels in front of Gen. Morgan’s Di-
vision wcre entrenched on high rising
ground. This position was finally carried
by storm.
The gunboats did not cooperate. But
the Benton engaged the rebel fortifica-
tions at Hnine’s Bluff. During the ac-
tion several of the Benton’s crew were
killed, and Capt. Gwynne, her comman-
der, was mortally wounded in Saturday’s
fight.
Gen. Banks and Admiral Farragut
were expected to cooperate in the move-
ment, but had not arrived at the scene
of conflict.

The Gallant Tenth.
The following are extracts from the cor-
respondence of the Hartford Courant, da-
ted Newbern, Dec. 20th :'
“The Tenth Regiment left Newborn
on Thursday, the 11th inst, with a
column of some 15,000 strong, and near-
ly fifty pieces of artillery. On Friday
and Saturday our advance had skirmishes
with the enemy, killed a number and tak-
ing some prisoners and guns. Saturday
night we {bivouacked six orlseven miles
from Kinston, on the Opposite. sids of the
Neuse river. About ten O’clock Sabbath
morning our progress Was opposed by a
body of rebels well posted with several
guns.in and about an old church, an
eighth of a mile this side of the Kiuston
bridge. The enemy had great advantage
in position. Colonel Mallett, who was
taken prisoner, said afterwards, “ We
had you just were we wanted you.” In
addition to the cover of the church, they
were protected by a rise in the ground
before the hollow in which they lay. The
approach to them must be through a
seemingly impassable swamp. . But our‘
troops went on plowing through the
swamp, throwing away blankets, haver-
sacks and other encumbrances, and ap-
proached the enemy. Beyond the swamp
they rested for orders. ,
About noon, General Foster sending
for Lieutenant-Colonel Leggett, told
him he wished the Tenth to pass over
two regiments lying immediately before
them and find the enemy, not returning
until they had cleared them out. Our
boys were well pleased with being thus
preferred over other regiments (old and
new) for the most difiicult and dangerous
task of the day, and charged gallantly
through a short piece of woods under an'
incessant and murderous fire. Then see-
ing just the position Of the enemy, and
being within short range, they opened
fire and kept it up with telling effect un-
til the rebels finding themselves in danger
of being flanked, retreated towards the
bridge. Then the Tenth, with a shout,
charged again down the hill upon the fly-
ing foe. The latter at once fired the
bridge in four places, cutting off the res
treat of u. portion of their force and ac-
tually burning up a number of their
wounded. On the bridge they left load-
ed mnskets pointed towards the attacking
column.
0n the opposite book they again form-
ed in line of battle. One of our batteries
came up just then and opéned fire upon
them across the stream. Meantime the
boys of the Tenth rushed on to the burn-
ing bridge, in the face of the exploding
muskets, and withartillery buckets ex-
tinguished the flames, took one hundred
and fifty prisoners or more, who had been
left on this side, and passed over the river
capturing there a confederate flag. They
were in line of battle on' the Kinston
bank before any other infantry had
reached the bridge. The rebels having
skedaddled, leaving their artillery, the
battle was at an end. At its close Gen.
Foster rode to the front, and taking off
his hat, publicly thanked the gallant
Tenth for its part in «the action. He said
it had shown itself now as before the
bravest Of the brave, and if it would
stand by him as hitherto, he would sweep
the State of North Carolina.
All this is gratifying to those in and
those who love this noble regiment. But
oh, the cost of such a compliment! Of-
ficers and all, we sent into action three
hundred and sixty-six men. Of these,
eleven were killed outright, and eighty
eight wounded. One was wounded the
following; day. Of the wounded, twelve
are already dead. Twenty-three dead,
and seventy-seven wounded—one hundred
in all. Among those who fell were some
of our best and lbravest. We sadly
miss and mourn for them.
Our dead were buried at Kiuston,
their graves being so marked that they
may be recognized if' sought by friends.”
