while, Pegram, who has gathered together the remainder of his cavalry at Monticello, in the upper valley of the Cumberland, has advanced along the road followed the previous year by Zollicoffer, which leads to Danville and Lexington by way of Mill Springs and Somerset. Whilst the Federals are trying to surround Cluke he crosses Cumberland River, and rapidly passes through the village of Somerset, causing a portion of his cavalry to dismount in order to make the inhabitants believe that he has 31st more to the south, near Monticello—the Federals determined to send out a reconnoissance toward the latter point. Two mounted regiments left Somerset on the evening of the 8th of June, and overtook a third regiment which had arrived from Mill Springs on the left bank of the Cumberland. The column, under the command of Colonel Kautz, came up with Pegram's soldiers on the morning of the 9th, and drove them back in disorder beyond Monticello, taking possession of this village.

Louisville, Jan. 20. --General Thomas telegraphs to headquarters that, on Friday night, General Zollicoffer came up to his encampment, and attacked him at six o'clock on Saturday morning, near Webb's Crossroads, in the vicinity of Somerset. At half-past 3 o'clock, on Saturday afternoon, Zollicoffer and Bailie Peyton had been killed, and the rebels were in full retreat to their entrenchments, at Mill Springs. The Federal troops were in hot pursuit. No further particulars have been received, nor any account of the losses on either side. Louisville, Jan. 20. --The recent fight took place on Sunday, instead of Saturday morning. Gen. Thomas, on Sunday morning, followed up the rebels to their entrenchments, sixteen miles from his own camp, and was about to attack them this morning. [Later advices states that this attack was a victory.--Ed.] He found their entrenchments de

here: Gen. Crittenden rallied his forces at Monti cello, and will make a stand there. Monticello is only twenty-five miles from Somerset. The flying, frightened fugitives have greatly exaggerated our disaster. Nashville, Jan. 24, (via Mobile, 25.)--The most reliable information we have received here of the engagement at or near Somerset is to the effect that only two regiments--Col. Battle's Tennessee and Col. Statham's Mississippi--Were engaged in the fight near Mill Springs. The estimated number of our killed and wounded, and prisoners taken from us, varies from three to five hundred. Gen. Crittenden, with nearly all his force, is now at Monticello. Stores and equipments are being sent to him. The Confederates, after spiking their cannon, threw them into the river. The enemy got but one cannon. They also got about two thousand horses and mules, and three hundred wagons. All of our stores were burnt, to prevent their capture by the enemy.

The Knoxville Register, says that General Crittenden now has his headquarters at Gainesboro', on the Cumberland river From a member of Gen. Carroll's brigade, who left there on Tuesday night last, we learn that the force there is perfectly organized, the camp in good order, and in the receipt of ample supplies. The enemy have not crossed the river at Mill Springs, with the exception of small parties of skirmishers. They seem to be deterred by a well founded dread of a flank movement by our forces.

The successes which have lately been achieved by our army will prove a more effectual check to hostile action on the part of European Governments than any other influence we could exert. When the news reaches the Old World of our triumph at Mill Springs, the capture of Fort Henry, the success of General Burnside, notwithstanding the numerous obstacles he was unexpectedly obliged to encounter, and of the great preparations we have made for hemming in the enemy upon all sides, there will, we ho. Mr. Crittenden offered a joint resolution to refer the petition to a select committee of five, and that they report thereon. An amendment, that the Declaration of Independence, and Secretary Stanton's order to the army after the victory at Mill Springs, be read at the same time, was agreed to, and the resolution adopted. The following are the resolutions intro- duced into the United States Senate by Mr. Sumner, of Massachusetts, for "wiping out the rebel States:" Whereas, Ce

ide and Flag Officer Goldsborough, and to Brig.-Gen. Grant and Flag-Officer Foote, and the land and naval forces under their respective commands, for their gallant achievements in the capture of Fort Henry and Roanoke Island. While it will be no ordinary pleasure for him to acknowledge and reward, in becoming manner, the valor of the living, he also recognizes his duty to pay fitting honor to the memory of the gallant dead. The charge at Roanoke Island, like the bayonet charge at Mill Springs, proves that the close grapple and sharp steel of loyal and patriotic soldiers must always put rebels and traitors to flight. The late achievements of the navy show that the flag of the Union, once borne in proud glory around the world by naval heroes, will soon again float over every rebel city and stronghold, and that it shall forever be honored and respected, as the emblem of Liberty and Union, in every land and upon every sea.

eral less in killed and wounded was 8,000--in prisoners 6,000. Late in the evening the Federal fell back, taking their dead and wounded from the field as far as possible — The engagement then ceased. Our victory was then complete, though dear bought. Many of the braves spirits of the Confederacy fell Tennessee, while she has her part of the glory, has more than her share of the glorious dead Tennessee has redeemed herself; if there was a state upon her fair ex, on account of Donelson or Mill Springs, it has been forever wiped out with their own precious blood on the plains of Mississippi. Our line of battle extended fourteen miles; the right was commanded by Gen. Johnston; the centre by General Beauregard, and the left by Gen. Cheatham. As the day advanced, the enemy threw their whole fore on the left wing, when Gen. Beauregard changed his position to that wing. Another account.
