ary service passed by the House was communicated. House of delegates. Wednesday, March 12, 1862. The subject of military exemptions for purposes indispensable to war and peace, was yesterday brought to the attention of the House by Mr. Buford, who moved the appointment of a joint committee of five of the House and three of the Senate, charged with the duty of inquiring into the subject and reporting such legislation as may be necessary, owing to the recent proclamation of the Governoffered a substitute, in the form of a joint resolution, authorizing the Governor to detail for such specific duties as the exigencies of the war may require, the necessary number of persons for such duties,--which was opposed by Messrs. Collier, Buford, Cazenove, Bouldin, Robertson and others. Mr. Hunter, in his rejoinder, explained the difference between "exempting" and "detailing," finally withdrawing his substitute. The question then recurring on the original resolution, it was carried.

, of the 14th inst.: Gentlemen from Columbus, lately citizens of that place, who arrived in the city yesterday, advise us that the conduct of the Federal forces, since they occupied that point, has been of the most tyrannical character. Immediately upon taking possession, all the sugar, molasses, tobacco, &c., in the hands of the citizens, was seized. The stock of sugar and molasses was large, and the seizure was made for the benefit of the Federal treasury, as was announced by Col. Buford, the commander. Some stores of the same character that were held by citizens of the surrounding country, were also taken, and private property and rights to tally disregarded. The declaration was publicly made that the expenses of the war must be paid by the South, and that all the properly of the Confederates States, so far as it should come within their control, would be used for that purpose. From this fact the people of the South can pretty conclusively determine to what extent

too nearly succeeded, not to admit the question of a want of caution somewhere. The telegram also states that the enemy were in pursuit of our forces; and if so, it is not at all improbable that a second engagement has taken place ere this. Up to 11 o'clock last night, no later intelligence was received. The following is an exact copy of the dispatch received by Gov. Letcher yesterday: Staunton, March 23.--Gen. Jackson engaged the enemy, 18,000 strong, at Barton's Mills, five miles this side of Winchester, Sunday at 11 P. M. After a severe contest, Jackson was compelled to retreat, with heavy loss of men and officers. Capt. Antrom of Augusta, was wounded and taken prisoner; Lieuts. Dale and Wilson, of the 5th Virginia regiment, were killed, Capt. Buford is among the missing. Maj. Jackson and Lt. Williams are missing and supposed to be killed. Our loss is about 200. Gen. Jackson retreated to Cedar Creek. Baggage all saved. The enemy are advancing. A. W. Harman.

yesterday, contains a list of the wounded in the hospital in that town--148 in number. Among these are Capt. S. T. Walton, Co. K, 23rd regiment, and Capt. R. E. Cowan, Co. I, 37th regiment. The latter died on the 30th, one week after the fight. Captain Cowan was a high-toned and chivairous gentleman, and we deeply regret to chronicle the fall of so noble a spirit. He was from Preston county, and represented the county a few years ago in the Legislature of the State. We hear that Capt Buford, of Bedford, had a flesh wound in the thigh, which is thought not to be dangerous. Col. Burks, of Bedford, commanding the third brigade--composed of the 21st regiment, Col. Patton; 42d regiment, Lieut. Col. Laughorne; 48th regiment, Col. Campbell; Irish battalion, Major Munford-- had three bullets shot through his clothes, but escaped unhurt. Lieut. Col. Langhorne had his horse shot under him. The entire brigade was engaged, except, perhaps, the 48th regiment, which, with Marye's batter

s evinces their conception of the importance of this point and the determination to make a long and desperate fight. Indeed, that the gunboats above, without the co-operation of land forces, will not be able to drive them from here, is to say the least deportful. so far we have obtained no deceitful success, though shelling them continually for over a week, and in fact we have not succeeded in drawing the fire from a portion of their batteries, though our gunboats, and a portion of Col. Buford's command, have been temptingly exposed. They are very cautions in showing us the exact location of their cannon by firing them and than giving us the range. But Com. Foots thinks too much of his gunboats, and appreciates too well the enormous consequences that would attend their loss, to venture with them upon foolhardy experiments. His flotilla is now not only the guard of the river proper, but of Missouri, Kentucky, and Catro; for we have above Island to no army now that could

ch was blown up in attempting to run the blockade from below, as if the explosion had been from our magazine it would have been followed by shots from the boat--Commodore Foots has learned nothing of the result as yet, for, though we are only twelve miles apart, it seems to require twice that number of hours to get a communication through. Capture of prisoners--Rebels being reinforced The capture of prisoners a few miles below Hiceman, by cavalry reconnoitering force sent out by Col. Buford, has resulted in the important intelligence that the enemy at Island No.10 is still keeping up a reinforcement by means of the line of railroad between Hiceman and Humboldt. They appear to have a force still stationed at Humboldt, and are keeping open the road thereof The distance from Corinth to Columbus is 144 miles, and from Corinth to Humboldt to At or Tennessee, they are within 25 miles of island No.10, and it is across this route that reinforcements have been sent to be prisone

tion. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, &c., your servant, A. H. Foote, Flag-Officer. The attack on Union City, Tenn. The Federal account of this affair reads as follows: Hickman, Ky., March 31, via Cairo, April 1.--Col. Buford, of the 27th Illinois, accompanied by his regiment, the 42d Illinois the Douglas Brigade, Col. Roberts, and 400 of the 15th Wisconsin, Col. Heg, (Scandinavian,) all from Island No.10, and two companies of the Second Illinois cavalry, Col. Hogg, and so unsuspicious of an attack, that when the alarm was given they were leisurely eating their breakfast. This was inconveniently abandoned, and they ran for a train of cars standing on the track near the encampment, and mostly escaped. Colonel Buford burned the remaining cars and booty he could not conveniently carry with him, and returned to Hickman. Parties who accompanied the expedition say that had it been properly planned and executed, every rebel would have been captured. From
