t was reported, were on their way to Cassville and had reached the St. Francis River, in Missouri. Grant despatched Colonel Oglesby with four regiments, also numbering about three thousand men, to look for it in that direction. But on the 5th, he the most important. On receiving the last instructions from Fremont, Grant immediately sent an additional regiment to Oglesby, with orders to fall back upon New Madrid, a little below Belmont, so as to threaten that position, against which he was. Finally, very late in the evening, the flotilla came to anchor in front of Cairo. Grant immediately sent an order to Oglesby to leave New Madrid and return to the point whence he had started—an order which that officer promptly and successfully public believed, Grant had intended to take up his position at Belmont, the affair was a complete failure. The fact of Oglesby's column being sent to New Madrid, to the south of Belmont, would seem to justify that assumption. Such an intention, h

those inspirations which sometimes decide the fate of a battle. He caused part of his troops to file off on his left along the river: thanks to a deep ravine, the enemy reached McArthur's flank unperceived, and threw confusion into the ranks of Oglesby's brigade, which formed the centre of McClernand's division, and which the Confederates were already vigorously pressing in front. Being in turn attacked in flank, it fell back like its neighbor. It reformed for an instant near the third brigas he occupied, in front of Smith, such troops as were strictly required for their occupancy, and had followed Pillow with the rest of his division. As soon as Pillow had deployed his forces he took position on his right; and when McArthur's and Oglesby's soldiers began to lose ground, he threw a portion of his men upon the brigades of W. Wallace, which formed the left of McClernand, and of Cruft, who had come to his assistance. The Confederates had thus far succeeded in throwing their entire

try that is so much broken, appeared in sight; Lovell renewed the fight against McArthur and Oliver; Hebert, in accordance with Van Dorn's instructions, joined Maury in his efforts to crush the Federals in the vicinity of the Jackson Railroad. Hamilton, who was at the extreme end of Rosecrans' line, was masked by the woods, where he was endeavoring to change position, and the whole weight of the charge of the Confederates fell upon Davies' division; its two brigade generals, Hackelmann and Oglesby, were struck down, one killed, the other severely wounded; it was losing ground. Stanley arrived in time to check its retreat, but the Confederates had still the advantage of numbers. Hamilton, delayed by the thickness of the wood, could not so soon complete his flank movement as to participate in the struggle. Although closely pressed, Stanley and Davies succeeded, nevertheless, in maintaining their positions until about six o'clock, when night put an end to the struggle. The Confede

Had enough of Soldiering. Cairo, July 9. --Saturday and Sunday were occupied in taking the votes of the Regiments as to whether they will enlist for three years or not. Cook's Regiment voted forty in favor of the three years enlistment; McArthur's Regiment voted fifty in favor, and Oglesby's Regiment voted one hundred and fifty in favor of three years. The other portions of these Regiments voted in favor of disbanding. The other Regiments will show a similar unsatisfactory result. The troops have not yet received any pay.

dly is, that it would be more sensible to send round the paymaster ahead of the recruiting officer. Unless the men are paid off (of which there is no present probability,) there will be few left here at the expiration of the three months. I am safe in saying that four-fifths will go home. A test was made in the 12th Regiment, and in the ten companies from two to sixty men in a company were found willing to enlist for three years. This, however, was founded on expectations of pay. In Col. Oglesby's Regiment it is probable that half would enlist for three years, if paid off; if not, very few. The officers are about as bad off as the men, and " impecuniosity" is a general disease, worse than the cholera. It is currently reported around town that they have at headquarters the names of eighty-six Democrats, including the first citizens of Cairo, who are soon to be compelled to take an oath of allegiance to the United States, the present Administration, the Chicago platform, and a

d Tennesseans marching on Paducah. Cairo, Sept. 16. --A detective from Columbus, Ky., reports that on Friday last the Rebels, numbering 10,000, under Gen. Johnston, had marching orders. Their destination was Paducah. He also reports Jeff. Thompson's forces at Belmont, Mo. The crew of the steamer John Gault, seized by the Government a few days since at Paducah, were released to-day. A force of 800 infantry, four pieces of Capt. Taylor's light artillery, under command of Col. Oglesby, made a reconnaissance below Norfolk, Missouri, Saturday, and saw 300 rebels, who fled on the approach of our troops. All quiet here and at Paducah.

Latest Northern news.Graphic account of the surrender of Fort Henryimportant Decision in regard to the property of a Virginianinteresting European news&c., &c., &c., From our Northern files, of the 12th instant, we gather the following interesting intelligence: The Fort Henry surrender.

At half-past 10 o'clock the gunboats were signalled by Flag Officer A. R.

--Both regiments suffered considerably. Col. Morrison was severely wounded while very near the ramparts. There were great quantities of brush piled before the breastworks, which it was impossible to penetrate. Capt. Brohan, of the 49th Illinois, was killed. The loss of both regiments is about 100 killed and wounded. A heavy rain set in to-night, which will try the men severely, they having no tents, and in many cases, owing to their position, not being able to build fires. Colonel Oglesby says, "We came here to take that fort, and we don't intend to leave until we do it." Chicago, Feb. 14.--Capt. Willard, of the Chicago Light Artillery, left Fort Henry day before yesterday, at half-past 10 o'clock, and reached this city to-day. From him we learn that the artillery left Fort Henry for Fort Donelson between three and four o'clock on the morning of the 12th, with six regiments of infantry. Gen. Grant and staff and body guard left at ten o'clock the same day. The
