ere searched for papers. They were informed by persons in Louisville and beyond that place, who seemed to be intelligent, that General Buckner's forces hereabouts numbered seventy-five or one hundred thousand, and that if he were disposed he could easily take the city of Louisville, as the Northern army was not near so strong. Arrests of Secessionists. The Louisville Journal, (Lincolnite,) of the 18th ult., says: Seven prisoners were brought in from the neighborhood of Greensburg Saturday morning and lodged in jail in our city. Their names are as follows: Benjamin Dulaney, Lewis Sheats, Thomas White, George Lail, James Ratchford, J. B. Creason, and Edwin Burk. They were captured by a detachment from General McCook's brigade as they were on their way to join the rebel forces. Thomas B. Mattingly, of Bardstown, was also brought in before daylight, Saturday morning, having been arrested by some of Colonel Pope's regiment. From Tybee Island. The Savann

Our city is very quiet and unconcerned, notwithstanding the very close proximity of the invaders, who, of course, will loss no time in making secure their bloodless conquest. From the Coast of South Carolina--movements of the Yankees. The steamer Gen. Church, which arrived at Charleston on Tuesday last, brings the following intelligence from the Sea Islands: On Monday last, while at South Edisto, discovered four of the enemy's fleet near be, consisting of one side wheel steamer and three propellers. They soon commenced exchanging signals, and immediately after steamed in for St. Helena Ship Bar, the side wheel boat leading. They all went rapidly up to a position near Otlet Island, and fire some shell ashore, to see it they could uncover any massed batteries, and finding none, they ventured to land in their boats. Capt Dexter, of the Clinch, says their pilots are thoroughly acq

at this place, (Col. White's having already gone to Knoxville) The prompt and efficient means used by Gen. Carroll has, we think, effectually checked the ardor of those deluded Unionists, and hereafter there will be little trouble in this quarter from them. B. The Flight from Wild Cat. From the Nashville (Tenn.) Ranner, of the 26th ult., we extract the following: We are informed that a copy of the Cincinnati Commercial, of the 21st, which contains a graphic letter from Eastern Kentucky, descriptive of an astoundingly rapid flight from Camp Wild Cat by the Yankee forces there encamped, was received in this city on yesterday. This race — which is pictured as surpassing Bull Ran or Leesburg — was occasioned by a rumor that Hardee and Buckner were advancing upon them with forty thousand men, to attack them in the rear Zollicoffer was to act in conjunction with them, (so report went,) and the whole united force was to swallow them and Camp Wild Cat at a single gulp.

raised in Missouri are Germans, who give more trouble than double their number of other troops, for if they are not paid square up, which is difficult to do, there is a row in camp. Latest from Louisville. The Louisville Courier, of the 25th ult., has seen gentlemen who left Louisville, Ky., last Sunday week. They brought the following information: Persons coming South are not allowed to pass through the lines. They obtain special permits, and come by water to Cloverport, Breckinridge county, and there take private conveyance. Louisville papers are not allowed to be brought out by persons coming South. Our informants say the pockets of several gentlemen were searched for papers. They were informed by persons in Louisville and beyond that place, who seemed to be intelligent, that General Buckner's forces hereabouts numbered seventy-five or one hundred thousand, and that if he were disposed he could easily take the city of Louisville, as the Northern

Having nothing else to do our informant took a trip up to Davenport, Iowa, and there conversed with men — secretly of course — who were confident, if they had the opportunity, that they could get 5,000 men to aid the South. When, a short time ago, the Governor of Iowa, finding it impossible to obtain the required number of voluntary recruits, issued orders for a draft, there must have been 5,000 young men who suddenly left the cities of Davenport and Keokuk to avoid it. But few men can be found in that section who will own that they are abolitionists, as such fanatics are excluded from genteel society. Having been forced to stay in St. Louis three months before he had effected his escape, he took special pains to ascertain the sentiments of the people. He found that nearly all the old residen

Affairs at the South. the Loss of the Confederate Gun-boat Tuscarora--affairs in East Tennessee--feeling for the south in St. Louis--Kentucky affairs, &c. From the latest Southern exchanges received at this office we compile the following summary of news: The Loss of the Confederate Gun-boat Tuscarora--Ominous Incident of our flag — Miraculous escape of the Crew. We have already announced under our telegraphic head the burning of the Confederate gun-boat Tuscarora. sterday the wreck was still burning, but the magazine being at the stern and covered with water, was safe. The wreck of the Tuscarora, it is thought, will be raised without difficulty, and at comparatively little expense. Later from East Tennessee--arrest of more prisoners. The Memphis Avalanche, of the 25th ult., publishes some late and interesting information from Chattanooga.

gratifying indication is, that a great many of the former Union men are voluntarily coming in and taking the oath to support the Confederate Government. The excitement had measurably died out at Chattanooga, and the rebellion in that section regarded as at an end. There is now only one trip a day over the railroad from Chattanooga to Knoxville, no train being run at night. All the freight for Virginia now goes by way of Augusta, which line now makes regular trips from Chattanooga to Atlanta. In this connection we subjoin the following letter from a well-informed correspondent: Chattanooga Nov. 23, 1861. To the Editors of the Avalanche: Col. R. F. Looney's command, consisting of 250 of his regiment; 200 of Col. Cook's, and 100 of Col. White's, left here on Tuesday afternoon on a scout through this and some of the adjoining counties, where it had been reported to Gen. Carroll that there were camps of Unionists. Col. Looney's command returned this evening, hav

nches thick, and I can kill any bull or buffalo with them. I will loan or sell them to the Government at $10 each, what they cost me and they are, as you will see, good as new. I have also a little powder and lead. Big men have big ideas and want big things; and it is likely they would reject little guns like mine; but do as you think best with them. One thing I am sure of, they will shoot, and kill with the Minnie Ball, from 250 to 300 yards, and that's about as far as a Southern man wants to be from an enemy when he shoots. Bayonets can be put to them for close quarters, though I would prefer the knife. S. W. Adkisson. From Missouri — the Yankees Retreating — McCulloch in pursuit. A telegraphic dispatch from Fayetteville, Ark., November 18, to the Fort Smith Times, says: It is reported that McCulloch, with 2,000 of his best cavalry, has gone in pursuit of the enemy. They have retreated from Springfield. Price is moving his forces towards the Missouri river.

The Memphis Avalanche, of the 25th ult., publishes some late and interesting information from Chattanooga. We copy the following: The Seventh Alabama regiment had just returned from as expedition to the mountains, bringing in a large number of Unionists. Most of them had been captured in the mountains beyond Sale Creek. The prisoners they took were brought in at Ooltewah, about twelve miles from Chattanooga. On Friday, a large number of prisoners were brought into Knoxville. But the most gratifying indication is, that a great many of the former Union men are voluntarily coming in and taking the oath to support the Confederate Government. The excitement had measurably died out at Chattanooga, and the rebellion in that section regarded as at an end. There is now only one trip a day over the railro
