oid a competition with England, the Dutch ambassador at London, that same Brodhead's Hist. 44, 45. year, proposed a joint colonization of Virginia, as well as a partnership in the East India trade; but the offer was put aside from fear of the superior art and industry of the Dutch. The development of a lucrative fur-trade in Hud- 1611. son's river was therefore left to unprotected private adventure. In 1613, or in one of the two previous years, the experienced Hendrik Christiaensen of Cleve and the worthy Adriaen Block chartered a ship with the skipper Ryser, and made a voyage into the waters of New York, bringing back rich furs, and also two sons of native sachems. The States General still hesitated to charter a West India Company; but on the twenty-seventh of March, 1614, they ordained that private adventurers 1614. might enjoy an exclusive privilege for four successive voyages to any passage, haven, or country they should thereafter find. With such encouragement, a comp

The 21st, 24th, and 25th Illinois regiments lost two-thirds; the 15th and 38th Ohio lost half their number.--Other regiments lost heavily. Total killed and wounded estimated at 25,000. Rebel loss much heavier. We have captured 500 prisoners. The latest from Murfreesboro', says: "We occupy Murfreesboro', and the rebels are in full retreat."

ir left on Wilkison's Pike; Negley (of Thomas's corps) worked with great difficulty to the front of the rebel centre, Rousseau's division being in reserve. Crittenden's corps was posted in comparatively clear ground on their left, Palmer's and Van Cleve's division in front, Wood's in reserve. A battle was expected all day on Tuesday, but the enemy merely skirmished and threw a few shells one of which killed Orderly McDonald, 4th United States Cavalry, not the feet from Gen. Rosecrans. Ths raised along the whole line, and the enemy began to fall back rapidly. He now galloped to the front of Crittenden's left, with his staff in order the line of battle when the enemy opened a full battery and emptied the saddles of the escort. Van Cleve's division was sent to the right, and Col. Beatty's brigade in the front. The General urged the troops forward. The rebels, terribly punished, were driven back fully a mile. The same splendid bravery was displayed in the lines, and the e

From Mississippi — movements and Plause the enemy. Jackson, April 29 --Dispatches from Grenade to-day represent all quiet in that direction and along the entire front, from Memphis to Lafayette. The Memphis, Byhalia and four other gunboats have passed Grand Gulf. One gunboat is below that point, shelling both ways, The fitting is heavy, and is board here distinctly. The enemy last evening burnt the Union Church on the Natches and road. Capt. Cleve land, with 100 men from Col Wirt Adam's cavalry, has been skirmishing with the enemy some hours. The Yankee force has not been ascertained. They have four please of artillery, and are probably making towards Matches. The Appeal says that Gen. Smith, commanding at Lagrange, states that be will unite the force at Lagrange Jackson Tenn, Bolivar and Corinth, and advance 20,000 men to Meridian and Mobile necessitating the evacuation of Vicksburg.

Headquarters in the field,Chattanooga, Sept. 17, 1863. All is quiet. No attack has been made.--The enemy remains in possession of the gaps of Pigeon Mountains and about Lafayette. The lines are very close, and there is occasional skirmishing. Capt. Drury, Chief of Artillery of Gen. Van Cleve's staff, was shot in the bowels by a sharpshooter. The wound is dangerous. It is reported that Longstreet has arrived at Resaca with 20,000 men. Our army is in splendid health and spirits. Headq'rs army of Cumberland,in the field, Sept. 18, 1863. All is quiet, though there is constant skirmishing along the line, and frequent dashes of cavalry on both sides.

Van Cleve's forces were struck on the right flank, and, being vigorously pushed, fell back until Gen. Carter's line was broken, and thGen. Van Cleve's forces were struck on the right flank, and, being vigorously pushed, fell back until Gen. Carter's line was broken, and the troops became much scattered. Gen. Thomas on the left, and Gen. Davis on the right, then pushed forward their forces vigorously toward the Gap, and, after a hard fight, recovered the ground which had been lost on the extreme right. The fight disclosed the intention of the rebels, which evidently was to get between us aulted in cutting our army in two. But it was not successful. The momentum of the rebel columns carried them through at least one weak spot in the centre, where Van Cleve and Reynolds commanded, and apparently also carried at one time the portion, or a part, of the portion held by Gen. Thomas on the left. But the latter gallantly

of the strength of the Federal army is based upon reports obtained from three different and well informed sources just before the battle, and I am satisfied, as you would be if you were in possession of all the facts, that it approximates the truth very nearly: McCook's corps, three divisions, (Sherman's Davis's, and R. R. Johnson's,)18,000 Thomas's corps, four divisions, (Rousseau's, Negley's, Brannan's, and Reynolds's.)25,000 Crittenden's corps, three divisions, (Palmer's, Van-Cleve's, and Wood's,)18,000 Granger's reserve corps, three divisions, (Morgan's, Steadman's, and Granger's,)15,000 77,000 This is exclusive of Stanley's corps of cavalry composed of three divisions. Some small detachments from this large force, say 12,000 in all, were on duty in the rear, leaving 65,000 fighting men who were actually present and engaged in the battle. Opposed to this formidable Army Gen. Bragg did not have, exclusive of cavalry, exceeding 40,000 men. And yet his brav
