Crittenden, who, they say, was drunk, and led the army on purpose to betray it to the Nationals. A very desponding tone prevails in regard to the future, while business in every place is completely prostrated.--Dixie, in some quarters, is evidently getting somewhat tired of the job of whipping the Yankees. A letter dated Pittsboro', Miss., Jan. 30, and addressed to "Dr. Darrah, Fort Henry, Col. Drake's regiment," has the following important items of information: F. G. Enochs got home from Jackson, and brings very bad news concerning the condition of our Southern Confederacy. He says Col. Blithe was sent down to Jackson by Gen. Polk to inform the Legislature of the condition they were in, and their danger at Columbus, in order that the Legislature might inform the people of Mississippi. Generally they (rebels

Polk to inform the Legislature of the condition they were in, and their danger at Columbus, in order that the Legislature might inform the people of Mississippi. Generally they (rebels at Columbus) could not give the people information of their condition through the papers, because they would give it to the North. They have only 12,000 men at Columbus, and to contend against. In a few days there will be a call for 20,000 troops in this State, the time of 60-day troops having nearly expired. J. M.

Another letter, dated at Lauderdale, Ala., Jan. 31, pathetically describes the ill-luck of Uncle Jack: "Uncle Jack was drafted and he hired a man bi the name of jones to go in his place he give him a $100 and the man tuck the money and went and joined another Company and last Saturday while he was gone to hunt the man they come and got long jim and tuck him to wait on them I don't know whether uncle jack will have to go or not, the company is done gone but uncle jack has got a furl he does want to hire a substitute, but t

ng, stabbing, chopping sausage-meat, digging ditches, or scalping Yankees, I cannot tell. There are hundreds of such institutions here, all evidently modeled as the genius, fancy and ferocity of the maker might suggest. It is with such weapons, backed only by Southern valor, that Southern soldiers and Southern letter-writers expect to defeat the cowardly "Lincolnites," and achieve their so-called freedom. A large number of the letters found were written from various portions of Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi, from which States the force at Fort Henry seems to have been made up. The number which made their escape was not less than from three to five thousand. Had they been less cowardly, the attack of the gunboats less terrible, or the roads less muddy, so that our forces could have come up in time, the entire force could have been secured. The troops might have been started earlier, but no one supposed the valorous Southerners would run within an hour, and consequen

verything with a view to comfort. Besides the large number of tents in their possession, they had built warm log-houses, sufficient in number to accommodate 5,000 troops. Of course our men are making themselves as comfortable as circumstances will permit in the wigwams of the fugitive braves from Dixie. There are several comfortable log and temporary board houses in the fort, and these are now occupied by Gen. Grant, his staff, and body guard. Private correspondence found here, from Georgia and others of the extreme Southern States, indicate that the greatest consternation exists there in consequence of the defeat and death of Zollicoffer. Writers from several points state, to their friends at the fort, that companies, and, in one or two cases, regiments, were cut completely to pieces; but in almost every instance they lay the blame on Gen. Crittenden, who, they say, was drunk, and led the army on purpose to betray it to the Nationals. A very desponding tone prevails in rega
