pieces by a ball. Passing Island No.10, the most noticeable token of war's ruin is the steamboats sunken and destroyed. On all sides they lay — some capable of being saved, others, the upper decks only visible. The John Simmonds, a fine Memphis and New Orleans packet, was broken in two. The Admiral had been a hospital boat, and on board were a hundred poor wretches, half dead from disease and neglect. They were kindly cared for, measures for their immediate comfort being taken by Col. Buford. On shore were crowds of sailors and soldiers wandering around among the profusion of ammunition and stores. Three flags were captured, one of which bore the inscription: "Equal Justice to each new Partner in the new firm." On Island No.10 there are five batteries and twenty-two guns, but few tents, and no property, except cannon balls, that can be made valuable. The island was abandoned by all but gunners a week since. There is now excellent opportunity to notice and hea

Last Monday four thousand sick were sent to Cincinnati and Louisville — There was great demoralization in the Federal army, and thousands had deserted. Col. Buford's Kentucky regiment refused to go into Nashville. Hundreds were deserting daily, in squads of 15 or 20. The people in the vicinity of Nashville show the greatest loyalty to the Confederacy. The force at Shelbyville is twenty-five hundred. The remainder of the Federal force is stretched from Pulaski, via Columbia, towards Savannah. No troops have gone towards Chattanooga.

The New York World says it is the "old story over again," but consoles itself with the announcement from Washington that the Federal army is going to "try it over again, " by advancing on the Confederate forces. The correspondent of that paper gives the following account of the action: Bayard's cavalry brigade is known to have been stationed at Burnett's Ford to guard the bridge of the road from Culpeper to Gordonsville. Buford's (formerly Hatch's) brigade is known to have been posted at Madison Court-House. In the latter place three detachments of Jackson's army descended one on each-flank and one in the centre, and threatened the entire force of six regiments of horse with capture. During the night the wagons were packed and started toward Sperryville, and the cavalry followed in the morning. Retreat to Culpeper was out off, and apprehensions were entertained of being out off also at Woodville. A column of th

Latest from Pope's army Culpeper Aug. 15 --Gen. Buford returned to camp yesterday, and from the best date obtainable it is thought that Jackson's rear line is about four miles back of the Rapidan, while his main point of defence is Gordonsville. It is also reported that a large force of the enemy now occupy the line of the Central Railroad from Louisa to Charlottesville. From this it would appear that they have formed a new line of defence, and intend to fight a decisive battle at or near Gordonsville. Gen. Buford took many prisoners, some of whom came from their hiding places and voluntarily surrendered. They said they were tired of the war. Col. Donnelly died last night. All is believed to be quiet in front this morning. Scenes at the sailing of a Forkton steamer — C
