Those captured belonged to the 28th, 41st, and 53d Illinois, and represented the spread eagle bird on a blue field, with the regimental inscription in gold. They were sent around the entire line by General Johnston, and received with three times three and a "siger" by the boys. The enemy are throwing up redoubts on the Insane Asyinm Hill, on the Cannon road, and also beyond the residence of Bishop Green, on the Clintoa road, and evidently preparing to mount siege pieces. Our position is strengthened daily by means of cotton bales; and what were originally the poorest excuse for works of defence over seen have, by means of cotton bules and ten verses, been made very strong and our men are protected from the galling fire of the enemy's sharpshooters, who line the skirts of the wood and keep up a continual popping at every head that is seen above the parapot.

The enemy came up in fine style, evidently thinking above the parapot. After the engagement was over and our infirmary corps was engaged in bringing in their wounded, who were literally pitted up on the field, the enemy's sharpshooters opened fire on them, killing three of the corps. General Breckinridge immediately ordered there to the rear, and numbers of their wounded are still lying in front of our works, filling the air with cries for help, which their inhuman leaders refuse to allow to be given.

The last fight at Jackson. A correspondent of the Mobile Tribune writes that paper an account of the last fight that took place on the 12th, before Gen. Johnston evacuated the city. He says: The attack made on our left was only in tended as a reconnaissance on the part of the enemy, but General Stovall kept his command secreted and led them to believe that they could take the work, and for this belief they paid dearly, losing 600 men in the attempt.--General Breckinridge speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of our troops engaged, who were Stovall's Florida brigade, the 32d Alabama, Cobb's Kentucky battery, and the 5th company Washington Artillery. The enemy came up in fine style, evidently thinking they had an easy task before them, but the gallant Floridans and Alabamans soon undeceived them, and save a few of the 3d Iowa and the "Bloody 53d," Illinois, who ran like sheep, the remainder were killed, wounded or captured, together with all their colors, save that of

The citizens of Jackson are all encamped near Horseshoe Lake, in cypress swacap, undergoing all the privations of camp life yet them seem to be cheerful and hopeful.--A general prayer meeting is held daily, and amidst the sharp cracking of the rides and the sullen roar of the artillery, their prayers and supplications go up to him who hears the young ravens when they cry, that our gallant army may succeed in driving back the fiends who seek to desolate their homes and imbrue their hands in the blood of their fathers and brothers. Gen. Pemberton and his Striff arrived last night. The General looks quite feeble from excessive fatigues and privation. The prisoners will reach Brandon today. From there they will go to the camp for paroled prisoners at Demopolis, until exchanged.

ors, was arrested Sunday morning on Morris Island inside our lines. Dr. L. had no surgical instruments, not even a about him when captured, but he states that he came ashore to assist the land surgeons in their operations, who were well supplied. He was brought to this city Sunday night, and was seen walking our streets without hindrance yesterday. The Courier, alluding to the assault of Saturday night, chronicles the following fatal mistake: Maj. Ramsay had placed himself at the head of the Sumter Guards, and was in the act of advancing on the enemy, when, it is reported, they were met by a volley from one of the North Carolina regiments, who, in the darkness, had mistaken them for the enemy. It was in this manner that Maj. Ramsay was shot, and nearly all the casualties in Captain Hopkins's company occurred. It was an accident liable to take place in any night attack, and the North Carolina regiment ought not to be unjustly consured for their display of Vigilance.
