speech in a manner which must have been very offensive to the officers. Captain Bell visibly restrained himself from reply and asked at once that he might be shown the way to the roof. The mayor replied by referring him to the janitor, whom he would find outside. As soon as the two officers left the room, Mr. Monroe also went out and placed himself immediately in front of the howitzer pointing down St. Charles street. There, folding his arms, he fixed his eyes upon the gunner who stood lanyard in hand ready for action. Here he remained until the flag had been hauled down and Lieutenant Kautz and Captain Bell had reappeared. At an order from the officers the sailors drew their howitzers back into the square, the marines fell into marching order behind them, and retired as they had come. As they passed out through the Camp street gate, Mr. Monroe turned toward the hall, and the people who had hitherto preserved the silence he had asked from them broke into cheers for their mayor.

Doc. 138.-fight at battle Creek, Tennessee. Camp, Battle Creek, Tenn., June 26. When I arrived at this interesting point, I immediately set to work to learn the particulars of Colonel Sill's movements in the neighborhood of Jasper. He was sent there subsequent to the abortive operations in front of Chattanooga, for the purpose of affording protection to the Unionloving citizens of Marion County. He remained there from the eleventh to the twenty-first of June. His force was very small at that time, and the rebels, emboldened by what they considered their success upon the seventh and eighth instant, were making threatening demonstrations around him. To his original force, consisting of the Thirty-third Ohio, three companies of the Tenth Wisconsin, two sections of Edgarton's battery, the two pieces of artillery captured at Bridgeport, and two hundred and fifty men from the Fourth Ohio and Fourth Kentucky cavalry, were added, while he was still at Jasper; the Second Ohio and

r authorities, but by those who had the power and the will to exercise it. The people had gathered, a compact mass, about the city hall. They were silent, but looked angry and threatening. Suddenly a body of men appeared, marching through the Camp street gate, drawing two howitzers after them. It was a strictly naval demonstration, comprising officers, marines, and sailors. The marines lined the St. Charles street side of the banquette opposite the hall. Standing in the street in front odrew their howitzers back into the square; after them marched the marines. With a rattle of steel, glitter of bayonets and rumble of wheels, the Northern pageant passed through the Southern crowd. As the last rifles were disappearing through the Camp-street gate, the crowd—so long silent in accordance with their mayor's request, threatened no longer. Instead, as Mayor Monroe turned toward the hall, they broke into cheers, which followed the retiring soldiers like a defiance. In her high feve

All rents due or to become due by tenants of property belonging to persons not known to be loyal citizens of the United States, will be paid, as they become due, to D. C. G. Field, Esq., Financial Clerk of the Department. By command of Maj. Gen. Butler, Geo. C. Strong, A. A. G., Chief of Staff. There has been published from the Northern papers an account taken from Butler's Delta, relating to the closing of the Camp street Episcopal Church by the Beast's Adjutant General, one Strong. The Delta, said that this Strong visited the Church in citizen's dress to worship God, he being a pious member of the same, and seeing that Dr. Goodrich, the pastor, omitted the prayer for the "President of the United States," indignantly rose from his seat and informed him that the Church would be closed in ten minutes. A gentleman just from New Orleans explodes this Yankee lie. He informs us that Strong went to the Church
