h regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, under the command of Colonel Joshua B. Howell, left Harrisburg for the seat of war. Since the negotiation of the new loan on the 15th Nov., Secretary Chase has placed to the credit of disbursing officers in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, over five and a half millions of dollars, to be paid to contractors and other Government creditors. Fourteen hundred cavalry, four regiments of infantry, and two batteries of artillery, were reviewed by Gen. Love and Gov. Morton and staff this afternoon, on the large common west of Camp Vajen, at Indianapolis, Ind. The column was nearly a mile in length, and altogether it was one of the grandest sights ever witnessed in the West. Several thousand people were in attendance. The coffee mill guns were objects of great curiosity, and performed to the satisfaction of the admiring crowd.--Cincinnati Commercial, November 22. The Fifteenth regiment N. Y. S.

The Eleventh regiment of Kentucky mounted infantry, commanded by Colonel Love, in pursuit of the rebel guerrillas under Colonel O. P. Hamilton, overtook them at Brimstone Creek, Tenn., where a brisk skirmish occurred, the guerrillas mounting their horses and making off. Hamilton, who was recognized, rode boldly up to wi in the brush. Two prisoners were taken, who acknowledged that seven were wounded. The rebels, who had bushwhackers in the hills assisting them, so completely blockaded the road by felling trees, that it was found impossible to pursue them. Colonel Love withdrew, and under orders from Colonel Harney, halted at Ray's Cross Roads. The following proclamation was found posted on a tree at Tompkinsville, given literally: head Qrs Hamiltons battalion Tomkinsville Ky Sept. 7 1868 I Now Give N

three o'clock the next morning, April twentieth, I detached one hundred and seventy-five of the least effective portion of the command, with one gun of the battery, and all the prisoners, led horses, and captured property, under the command of Major Love, of the Second Iowa, to proceed back to La Grange, marching in column of fours, before daylight, through Pontotoc, and thus leaving the impression that the whole command had returned. Major Love had orders also to send off a single scout to cuMajor Love had orders also to send off a single scout to cut the telegraph wires south of Oxford. At five o'clock A. M. I proceeded southward with the main force, on the Houston road, passing around Houston about four o'clock P. M., and halting at dark on the plantation of Benjamin Kilgore, eleven and a half miles south-east of the latter place, on the road toward Starkville. The following morning, at six o'clock, I resumed the march southward, and about eight o'clock came to the road leading south-east to Columbus, Miss. Here I detached Colonel Hatc

nd report says a few of the enemy were wounded. The ground thus gained it was desirable to hold, and accordingly the First brigade of this division, Acting Brigadier-General Love commanding, was ordered forward to the support of the cavalry. They were not interfered with, the enemy preserving their distance, reconnoitring closet. During our stay at this camp, Colonel Paine, of the Second Louisiana regiment, ranking officer of the First brigade, arrived and assumed command, relieving Colonel Love, who assumed command of his old regiment, the One Hundred and Sixteenth New-York volunteers. Next morning, at eight o'clock, the advance was resumed, and abs, shelling the woods on the shore of the bayou, up and down.

ou send That curse against a kindred blood With Heaven's long garnered wrath to blend! A mother's curse the strong man fears Through all the glory of his years; But we have cause for deeper dread, When she who lifts denouncing hands A priestess at Love's altar stands, A priestess bound by holiest vows, A woman's crown upon her head, A poet's glory on her brows. O woman poet! In the dust We lay our pride — our hearts are sad-- We walked abroad among the glad Free nations of the earth — more justneath the wave, We cry to Love, Love yet shall save, And with soft fingers on shut eyes, The darkness of the soul surprise, As once of old in Galilee He healed the blind and hushed the sea. My Country! O my lovely Land, Outspread 'neath heaven by Love's own hand! How is it with thee? Wilt thou bear Heaven's wrath till wrath has waked despair I Too proud to listen love's own call, Till even love triumph in thy fall-- While other lands redeemed shall rise, With foreheads lifted to the skies, Wit

, and with full beard and moustache, kept closely trimmed, and just beginning to be grizzled with white hairs. His features are said, by those who knew him, to have retained their natural expression wonderfully. He was instantly recognized by Major Love, Gen. Morris, and Capt. Bentram, all of whom were intimately acquainted with him.

Returning from the bank where Garnett lay, I went up to the bluff on which the enemy had been posted. The first object that caught the eye was a large iron rifled cannon, (a six-pounder,) which they had left in their precipitate flight. The star-spangled banner of one of our regiments floated over. Around was a sickening sight. Along the brink of that bluff lay ten bodies, stiffening in their own gore, in every contortion which their

se valorous Kentucky Yankees. Here they went, helter-skelter, our men after them, and here and there passing in the road men whom the unerring aim of our gallant boys had caused to bite the dust. The race through Sacramento was beautiful. As we went through that village in hot pursuit, the men of the village threw up their hats and shouted, Go it, boys — catch 'em and give 'em hell. The women, God bless them, waved their handkerchiefs, and shouted our gallant boys on to the charge. Lieut.-Col. Love, who had gone out as a guide to the expedition, it is said had to run through Sacramento, and bets of two to one were freely offered that he would be the first to Calhoun. What became of the gallant Major Murray, who commanded the expedition, we couldn't tell, but it is supposed that he was outdistanced in the race, and must have made fine time. The gallant and dashing Starnes was in front of the charge, and Capt. Bacon fell from his well-directed pistol shot. Bacon shot at Starnes s

One evermore! Chorus--God save our Fatherland! true home of Freedom! God save our Fatherland, one evermore; One in her hills and streams, One in her glorious dreams, One in Love's noblest themes-- One evermore!

. Pope to report to General commanding the advance. I reported at twelve o'clock to Gen. Palmer, who ordered me to throw out two companies to the left of the Farmington road, and hold the balance of command in reserve. Our infantry, who had held the field above us, being driven in to the brow of the hill, Gen. Paine ordered the regiment to charge the enemy's batteries. Moving the column to the top of the hill, ordered Major Kuhen, with companies H, G, and C, of the Second battalion, and Major Love, with the Third battalion, to charge the batteries on our right; Major Hepburn those on our left, in echelon of squadrons, deploying the columns to the right and left. When we passed the infantry columns we attacked their skirmishers and supports, driving them in, killing and wounding some. No effect was produced on the battery on our left. Near the main Farmington road the battery and supports were protected by a rail fence. Major Kuhen gallantly attacked the battery near the buildi
