Floyd in western Virginia whence he deserted and came to Tennessee as a bush- whacker, and I think by the time a court-martial gets through with him he will be bush-whacking in a warmer region. Colonel Solon Borland. Col. Solon Borland has published an address to the people of Arkansas, justifying himself against the reports which have gained circulation, "that the rumor of seven thousand troops descending upon Pocahontas was false — the officers at that point having been deceived by reports which were thought reliable." The Colonel insists in his communication that "there was an overwhelming superior force advancing upon his command, which constituted a part of a system of simultaneous attacks to be made by the enemy from Paducah and Cairo upon Columbus — from Cape Girar<

Late Southern news. another fight with Opothleyholo — more Yankee prisoners — the confederate cause in Missouri, &c. From our Southern exchanges we make up the following summary of news: Latest from the Indian country — another fight with Opothleyholo — the killed and wounded on both Sides. From the Fortsmith News, of the 11th inst. we take the following interesting intelligence: We learn from Maj. Clark, of Texas, direct from the camp of Col. Cooper, and the battle . Halleek has levied a tax of ten thousand dollars upon all residents of St. Louis, who sympathize with the "Rebels," for the purpose of supporting the "Union" refugees, who are driven there by the indignation of the loyalists of middle and Northern Missouri. A large portion of this levy was upon the property of Bishop Kendrick, of well-known loyal sentiments. The consequence of this move has been that the disaffection of the Irish element, already great, has been increased almost to a state

Some visiting between ours and the enemy's pickets occur occasionally, which is a most delectable practice in the humble opinion of your writer; for I cannot see how any Southerner can reconcile it to his feelings of honor to hold friendly intercourse with the villains. More Yankee prisoners. The Memphis Appeal, of the 24th inst., says: On Monday night of last week a successful little movement occurred on the Cumberland river near Paducah, which goes to show that our friends in that region are alert and active. It seems that 28 mounted Federals left Smithland on a scouting expedition, and during the evening they happened upon a "corn-shucking." Thinking to have a good time, they picketed their horses, stacked arms and "pitched in." One of our friends quietly slipped away, and gave the alarm to Capt. Wilcox, who with 14 of his men proceeded to the scene of merry-making, quietly took possession of the Hessian

holo? Some curiosity having been manifested as to the identity of this notorious Indian chief, the Fort Smith News, of the 13th inst. answers the question as follows: Opothleyholo, who is now giving so much trouble, is an old man about eighty years of age, and is a leader among what is now termed the Upper Creeks. His first appearance in a public capacity was about 1824 or 1825, soon after the murder, by the Creeks, of Gen. McIntosh, who was killed for making a treaty with the United States. Opothleyholo's name made its appearance about that time as the leader of the party opposed to the treaty. He is an eloquent speaker, and wields a mighty influence over the Upper Creeks by his tongue. The McIntosh party compose the Lower Creeks, and there exists still, between the two parties, the remains of the old national fend, and this may be the cause of the present attitude of Opothleyholo and his followers. Indians never forget injuries, and when life is taken the relative

From the Fortsmith News, of the 11th inst. we take the following interesting intelligence: We learn from Maj. Clark, of Texas, direct from the camp of Col. Cooper, and the battle took place on the 9th on Bushy Creek, near the Verdigris River, about 180 miles from this place, between the forces under Col. Cooper, and the enemy's under Opothleyholo, estimated at 4000 or 8000, Col. Cooper had only about 1300 men. The enemy attacked Col. Cooper about 11 o'clock, and the fight continued all day until sun down. Col. Simms' Texas Regiment, that were in the fight, fought with great bravery, and the Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Creeks, fought like tigers; in fact the battle was one of the hardest fought battles that has taken place i
