re. Advancing at a trot, Colonel Haynes threw the guns into battery in the midst of a shower of balls, upon a height, not more than two hundred yards, and promptly fired several rounds of shell into the block house. At this moment the enemy raised a white flag, and Colonel Haynes galloped forward and received the flag and sword of their commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Haynes, One Hundred and Fifth Ohio volunteers, and the surrender of near three hundred of the enemy, rank and file. Captain B. W. Jenkins, formerly of General Marshal's staff, volunteered for the occasion, and Lieutenant-Colonel J. L. Bottles was in at the death. The enemy's loss was twelve killed and twenty wounded; our loss is six killed and ten wounded. The officers and soldiers throughout behaved with gallantry. The artillery, first under Lieutenant Graham at Telford's, then Lieutenant Blackwell, and finally under Colonel Haynes, at Limestone, acted with coolness and intrepidity throughout. More anon.

command of Colonel Roher Vacher, accompanied us; also, one hundred and fifty mounted men, under Colonel Metcalf. We soon ascertained that our course was deviating from the direct route up Sandy River, and was leading us up John's Creek, which route led us a distance of forty miles around, and entered the town of Piketon nearly opposite from the river route. The object was to attack the enemy in the rear, whilst General Nelson, with the Second, Twenty-first, and Fifty-ninth Ohio, with Colonel Marshal's fragment of a regiment, who started the day following, would attack them in front. The march was truly a severe one, as the order of General Nelson's intimates. The rations, which were intended for two days, did not, on an average, last one day. We took no train but one wagon and our ambulances, accordingly our men were without tents or means of shelter. The road was very narrow, and in many places precipitous. Often it was difficult to find sufficient room for our cannon, and m

on, the enemy having entirely disappeared, we moved ten miles towards Holly Springs, in order to obtain forage and water, and on the next day we moved into that place, where we remained during the day to obtain a supply of ammunition and rations, of both of which we were in much need. While there four detachments of one hundred men each — commanded respectively by Major Mitchell, Eighteenth Mississippi battalion; Major Cozzins, Second Mississippi; Major Burrows, Twelfth Tennessee; Lieutenant-Colonel Marshal, Fourteenth Tennessee--were sent out with instructions to tear up the Memphis and Charleston railroad and destroy the telegraph wire so as to prevent the passage of troops or intelligence. Mitchell and Cozzens were ordered to cut the road east of Colliersville, Burrows and Marshall west of it. The first two were successful in tearing up the track in several places before daylight the next morning, but the others, owing to the greater distance they had to travel, were not able to d

This," continued the Admiral, "is the most painful act of my life; I wish to God, as I told the Captain this morning, that he never had come near me; but since he has seen fit to place me in this delicate position, my first duty is to the Government in whose service I am, and I felt that I ought not to permit him to escape from my custody until I had brought the case to the notice of the Government, in order that the facts might be investigated. I therefore surrender him into your hands, Mr. Marshal, and you must do with him as you think proper." Marshal Murray informed the Captain that, under the state of facts as detailed by Admiral Gregory, he would be compelled to detain him as a prisoner until he could communicate with the Government at Washington.
