eers, gives the following statement of the battle: On last Saturday night, Gen. Crittenden and forces marched out to meet the enemy on Fishing Creek, 11 miles distant. They met the enemy lying in ambush, just at the dawning of day, when Gen. Zollicoffer, who was in front, gave the order for an attack Col. Staunton cried out, "for God sake don't fire — they are our friends." The Shoepfites hallowing for Jeff Davis. Simultancously the enemy fired, shooting Gen. Zollicoffer in the heart and killing him instantly. He spoke but twice — his last words were "Go on, go on, my brave boys! I am killed!" On parting with his trusty servant at midnight, he shook hands, and remarked that they would probably meet no more. Col. Battle's and Cumming's, and the 15th Mississippi regiments fought bravely, saving our forces from annihilation. Gen. Crittenden and Carroll were in the engagement the whole time, evincing great courage and determination. The enemy were repulsed several times

L. Preston and Lieut-Colonel Echolls's regiments, on the right by Harper's and on the left by Allen's and Cumming's regiment. As soon as General Johnston and myself reached the field, we were occupied with the reorganization of the heroic troops, whose previous stand, with scarce a parallel, has nothing more Valliant in all the pages of history, and wh

om us, who stood their ground like good fellows worthy of a better cause. We advanced a portion of our force on them, when they retired; but we saw them reinforced by a large body of infantry — so large, in fact, that it was not deemed prudent to attack them. We were only two miles and a half from Newport News. A hill intervening was the only object which prevented our seeing the fortifications. It was certainly a dare, as we had not more than eight hundred men, infantry and cavalry. Col. Cumming commanded the infantry. To-day the vidette are bringing in pieces of spars and wood from the burnt Yankee frigates which drilled ashore. They also report that several dead bodies were found along the Andre. Success of Col.

een displayed at other points on the line further to the left, the Confederates would not have been driven from Missionary Ridge. Reynolds's brigade is composed of the 54th and 63d Virginia regiment, and the 58th and 60th N. C. troops, who have always done well heretofore. And here let me add, at the risk of becoming tedious, that Stevenson's division, composed wholly of "Vicksburg troops," behaved with unsurpassed gallantry. These troops are Tennessean, Alabamians, and Georgians. Gen. Cumming's Georgia brigade never fought so well. The fact here stated should silence forever the thoughtless tongues that have been ridiculing and maligning the heroes who fought at Vicksburg. After night set in the whole army was withdrawn to the east side of the Chickamauga, the trains having preceded it the night before. The roads were in a bad condition, and there were but three bridges over which the troops could retire. But the enemy was too badly crippled to make pursuit, only a sma

an appropriation to pay for tobacco injured or destroyed by fire at the public warehouse. And a bill in relation to county levies. The joint report and resolution of the Salt Committee were then taken up again, and the discussion resumed. Finally, the subject was postponed till 8 o'clock P. M. and the Senate took a recess until that hour. In the House yesterday a bill authorizing the funding of certain currency belonging to the State in Confederate bonds was passed. Also, a bill incorporating the Confederate States Porcelain Company. The bill appropriating the public revenue for the fiscal years 1863-'4 and 1865-'5--the order of the day — was taken up, and the appropriation to the Eastern Lunatic Asylum extended to one hundred and fifty-two thousand dollars for each year. The bill was ordered to be engrossed. The report of the Salt Committee was then taken up and considered, Mr. Cumming on the floor. The discussion lasted until the hour of recess.

Stevenson's division moved forward in two lines of battle, as follows: Brown's brigade of Tennessean on the right, with Cumming's brigade of Georgians on the left, were moved forward in advanced front, while Reynold's North Carolinian and Virginians supported Brown, and Pettus's brigade of Alabamans supported Cumming. These two lines were commanded by Brig Gens Cumming and Pettus, and moved forward in splendid style to the charge. The ridge is on the right of the Powder Spring read and flank, which rested in an open held. The cause of the enemy gaining a flank fire on these gallant men was on account of Cumming's line being delayed by some impediment (not yet explained to me) which kept them from keeping up with the right of the so killed. The wounded are Major J P Brewster, 56th Ga; Lt Col Bradly, 34th Ga: Adj't slide, 2d Ga State Troops, all of Cumming's brigade.

It is supposed that the enemy will make a rapid and terrible onset on the defences of Atlanta at the earliest moment they can reach the city. The battle was very heavy along the entire line to-day, and resulted in very considerable loss to us. A large number of the wounded were arriving on the trains during the night. General Patton Anderson was seriously wounded in the face, and General Cumming wounded very badly. They will arrive at this place on the night train. A letter from Atlanta, dated the 30th, notices the movement of Hood's troops to meet that of Sherman, and says: No uneasiness is felt about the occupation of the West Point road, as it has not been found essential, although serviceable. The Georgia railroad will be reconstructed as soon as possible. The iron, which was stolen by the Yankees and carried off, will be replaced by drafts upon the Washington

General Hardee's corps, under Cleburne, and Lee's corps, all combined, under charge of General Hardee resisted the advance of the enemy with determined valor and unexampled bravery from early this morning until night, when the enemy still held possession of the road.
