He (Hart) had done no such thing; although, had it not been his belief that information would be lodged against them, it is probable he would have done so. Mr. Hart wished nst them, it is probable he would have done so. Mr. Hart wished it to be distinctly understood that he had done nothing inconsistent with his whole life; for the last thirty years he had been a sworn officer of the law.

a Jackson, Jan. 29th.--We have accounts of another serious Indian raid in Cook county in which twelve or fifteen people were killed. The Indians were armed and equipped by the Yankees. Fifteen millions of dollars of Confederate money that had run the blockade from some Eastern port to Havana, and had safety reached Monterey, Mexico, en route to the Trans-Mississippi Department, has been attached by the English house of Milmo & Co., of Matamoras, for the alleged failure on the part of Major Hart, A. Q. M., an agent of the Confederate States Government, in meeting his contracts with that house for cotton.--The same house also attached a large amount of cotton in transitu in Mexico, belonging to the Government, on the same account.

bout 8 A. M, the enemy opened with artillery. Hampton and Robertson were moved rapidly forward, and took up a position of much strength, and one which had been previously collected to be occupied in case of attack. The enemy were held in check for a long time, but having a large force of infantry and cavalry, and our cavalry having no infantry supports, were compelled to fall back, which Hampton and Robertson proceeded to do. In retiring, one of the horses attached to one of the guns of Captain Hart's horse artillery was struck by a fragment of a shell on the ankle, thereby disabling the horse from service and causing the gun to fall into the hands of the enemy. This was the first gun of the horse artillery ever captured by the enemy. Whilst falling back these brigades received and repulsed an attack which was made upon them with great spirit on the west bank of Goose creek. In the meantime Jones's and W. H. F. Lee's brigades were busily and hotly engaged with a column of the enem

How quotas are filled in Yankeedom. Brigadier-General G. W. Hinks, of the United States army, in command of recruiting rendezvous, Hart's island, near New York, has recently addressed an interesting letter to the Adjutant-General respecting the recruiting and bounty system. His statements will seem incredible only to those who have not had opportunities of knowing how the Yankee recruiting business has been carried on. The swindle on the Government and people have been unprecedented. General Hinks says: "Felony is compounded and crime condemned by magistrates, that criminals may be sent into the army to stain its fair fame, imperil its success and dishonor its faithful soldiers, or desert its banners to join the enemy, enlist again in some other locality, consummating a double fraud — all to fill the quotas. "Drunkards, useless for any purposes of life, are suborned to defraud the Government and country by enlisting as soldiers — to fill the quotas. "Imbeciles a
