zler, Colonel of the 1st Kansas, for firing upon a soldier who was stealing whiskey of him, in his own house. "Big thing," but the boys are not proud of it, I am happy to say. "To what base uses may we com at last." A Virginian at Elkhorn. The following is a copy of a letter written by Gen. Van-Dorn to Col. Jordan, A. A. General on the staff of Gen. Beauregard, referring to the good conduct of Lieut. Leftwich, of Lynchburg, Va.: Headquarters Army of the Mississippi, Memphis, Tenn, April 21, 1862. Colonel — I regret to find that in my report of the battle of Elkhorn no mention was made of the excellent conduct of Lieut. W. L. C. Leftwich, of Gen. McCulloch's Staff. After exhibiting great courage and energy during the engagement of that Division, he joined my Staff, and rendered me very great assistance during the action of the 8th. I desire to bring him to your notice as a gallant and meritorious young officer. I am, Colonel, very respectfully,
in an army of 100,000 men, composed of the three arms of the service in their due proportion. I would assign 25,000 men to the defence of that part of the country lying west of the Mississippi river, including the Pacific coast. I would assign 15,000 men to the defence of the Lake, Atlantic, and Gulf coasts, stretching from Lake Superior to the mouth of the Mississippi, including Key West and the Tortugas. The remaining 60,000 men I would station on the line of the railroad from Memphis, Tennessee, to Chattanooga, and from thence on one railroad branch to Charleston, South Carolina, and on the other branch to Richmond, Va., occupying, between Memphis and Chattanooga, important intermediate points, say Grand Junction, Corinth, Decatur, and Stevenson. Between Chattanooga and Charleston I would occupy, say, Dalton, Atlanta; Union Point, Augusta, Branchville, and, possibly, Columbia, S. C. Between Chattanooga and Richmond I would occupy, say, Knoxville, Abington, Wythevill
The battle on White Rived.Federal accounts.terrible Destruction of a Federal steamer. The much talked of "White River Expeliti in" left Memphis, Tenn., on the 19th ult., and consisted of eight gunboats. The feast proceeded very successfully for a while and captured a Confederate steamer on White river and battered down several fortifications on the way. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer says: The Union fleet had proceeded something over eighty miles up White river, when they were tired upon from a battery on the south side, but so batden among the trees that the officers could hereby determine the spot whence the pieces were discharged. The guns of the enemy were not very heavy. They sounded like 12 and 24 pounders, and subsequent examination proved they were such. The Mound City fired her how guns twice, and then her port guns, as she steamed up the river little further, making the distance between her and the upper battery, less than half a mile. The se
From the South. The order of Gen. Grant expelling "disloyal" citizens from Memphis has been published. Gen. Jeff Thompson has issued a proclamation, assuring all Tennessean in the Confederate States army that their families, if expelled, shall be provided for. The General has written the following letter to the tyrant Grant: Senatoria, Miss, July 14th, 1862. Maj-Gen U. S. Grant, U. S. A., Memphis, Tenn. General --Upon my return from Grenada, I find a copy of your Special Order No. 14, of July 10th, 1862, requiring certain parties therein designated to leave your lines within five days. If, General, you intend to carry this order into effect, which we of course presume you will, the cause of humanity will require that you make some arrangement with us, by which the helpless women and children who will thus be turned out of doors, can be provided for; for you must well know by this time that nine-tenths of the people of Memphis come under your ban, for there is scarce
