The ▼aloe of (old in the Confederate States has

tary oilcan oftentimes take a pride in showing
what they-edado; and sometimes go so for as to
l ni pr em property which they tnl|ht buy.or hire at
a reasonable oost if they would take the trouble
to find out about It." Government does not permit
impressments, except in oases of extreme neces-
sity, and by written authority from a commanding
officer, without showing which, any officer under-
taking to impress, renders himself liable to cotirt

an sxamlnlng surgeon who Is charging conscripts
(10, (90, aad cvea sometimes (60, for a certifi-
cate of disability. Having received their dis-
charge, however, the enrolling officer Is now
enrolling them over again, and, of course, sub-
jecting them to another charge for a certificate of
disability. All we have to say about It Is that any
one who was imposed on by the examining sur"
geon so for s to pay ths first foe, need not be any
raorei Those wha paid It because they thought
they ought to, have no right to complain If the

](jr* We regret to learn that there is great diffi-
culty experienced in the several manufactories of
arms in the State in getting hands to do the work,
from the fact that they ere 111 the service in the
fleid, nnd commanding officers refuse to detail
them to the manufactories. We think this unwise.
However much we want men in the field, It is cer-
tain good and well-skilled mechanics in pistol fac-
tories are worth ten times as much as in the field.

hope commanding officers will consider these

CAUTION.
IT has come to my knowledge, that certain prin-

Scrip, have been passing in Brownsville and the
Western poi*tion of the State. This is to caution
all persons against receiving them. The county
of Galveston has not issued any acrip or ahinplaa-

The news of the battle in Kentucky Is at last
beginning to assume some shape. There is now
no doubt but we gained a brilliant vlotory in each
of the different engagements between B rdstown
and Perryville. Our predictions with regard tb
Brsgg's retrogade movement from Bloomfleld,
have proved to be correct. He did not wish to
fight Buell in his entrenchments, and, therefore,
ostensibly retreated to Bardstewn. Finding that
his plan worktd admirably, and that a Yankee
divislo under Crittenden was following him, he
made a halt at Bardstown,, driving Crittenden
back. Heavy reinforcements were then sent out,
when Bragg moved on down the turnpike by
Fredericksburg,Springfield and Lebanon to Perry-
vllle, the enemy keeping in his wakc.nll the' time,.
In th<> mean time, Kirby Smith with his army and
that of Humphrey Marahslt came over from Lex-
ington tO the neighborhood of Shakertownt, a few
miles firom Camp Dick Koblnson, where they were
able to act In conjunction with Bragg. Bragg
having succeeded in drawing Crittenden and
Thomas into a trap, made an attack upon th<
columns, driviug them back several miles with
tremendous slaughter. The enemy's loss In the
four days' battle is put down at 31,000 in killed,
woundea and prisoners. Forty pieces of cannon
were also taken. Three of their Generals—Jack-
son, Terrill, and Webster—were killed,and Tom
Crittenden taken prisoner. Among ths Colonels
killed we notice the name of George P. Jewett, a
Cavalry Colonel. He was woil known along the
Mississippi, being an old steamboat clerk.
Our army, It is said, isi concentrating at Camp
Dick Hobinson, the plaee where Bi-.Il rendez-
voused when preparing to make a descent on
Bowling Green last year. It Is In Garrard couniv,
n few .miles from where the railroad from Danville
to Covington orosses the Kentucky river. The
position is a very elegible one, but we hardly
Believe Bragg will remain thera long. He will
likely push forward ^ain. .

It is reported that Col. Demies, of the 1st Wis-
consin regiment, nurried a negro wench, black
as e>>ony, belonging to David Goodloe, of St.
Francis oouuty, Arkansas, recently. The marriage
was in good faith. -Shortly after the Major of the
regiment followed suit with a slave of Dr. Nash,
and thin the Chipiain was joined in the holy
bands of wedlock with a slave of Mr. Thomas, la
the battle of L'Anguille, Col. Parsons1 regiment
took the Colond'a wife and the Major and his
wife prisoners. The Chaplain and his wife were
killed. We get this story from the VlckBburg
Whig..
The Mhmlsslppian says the killod, wounded and
missing at the battle of Corinth will not exceed
2,600 men on our Bide. This is large enough in all
conscience.
The following Iron-clads are now being built in

bottom of the sea.
The Middletown (Ohio) Journal says that in a
speech at Post Town, Vallandigham declared the
President was a Dlsunionist, said the " sun, moon
and stars would turn into gore before the North
could conquer the South," and spoke of tho army
of the Union as carrying the u black flag." 'ihe
Journal says:
He exhibited a Ave dollar gold piece, an l aald
that when Democrats were in power that was the
currency ; but now this is the kind (holding; in
view au old Continental bill,) and five hundred
will not buy a loaf of bread, and in one year the

The following is from a Washington dispittch,
datei Sept. 26lh, to the N. Y.Tribnne ; '
Hon. Eli Thayer's scheme for the colonization
by armed men of tho Southern States, which meets
with much favor by the President, Secretary of
War, and othKrs,has been discussed several times
in Cabinet meetings, and will probably soon re-
ceive formal Official sanction. The project con-
templates an expedition Of 10,000 colonists, ehltSt-'
ed for six months, and supplied with transporta-
tion, subsistence, arms, and a General, by the
Government, whose business:it shall be to hold',
bceupyand possess the public lands of Florida
and other lands belonging to the rebels, and seiz-
ed under the law of the last session of Congress
for non-paym&nt of the direct tax. Thayer prom-
ises, if allowed to carry ont his plan in Its entirety,
to bring Florida into the Union as a free State by
the 1st of February next. Texas and Virginia are
already talked of as States to be subjected to the
same process. This, like the proclamation of yes-
terday, will be another step in the path of a more
vigorous policy, which the Administration, 1n its
proclamation of freedom, advertised that it Should
hetoce orth pursue. > w

E. H. Cusbino , Ksq. :t-I have just telegraphed
(o Holly Springs for the casualties of the 2d Texas.
The regiment suffered dreadfully. I learn from
the Yankee dispatches, as well as from other sour-
ces, that Col. Bogers was killed at Corinth. Capt.
Muller I have also heard'was killed. This I learn-
ed from a gentleman just from Columbus, Miss.—
He says that the 2d Texas has received the highest
praise for their gallantry throughout the engage-
ment. I go up to Holly Springs to-night, and will
write again as soon as I can get the particulars of
the battles.
Gen. Van Dorn is severely censured on all sides
fbr bringing on the battle when he did. He la cura-
ed from here to Kichmond—so I learn from p^ssen
gers just from Virginia. I heard a gentleman say
yesterdaV that he had seen a private letter from
Gea. Price, who stated that " every General was
opposed to making th- fight save one." The natu-
ral Inference is that that one was Gen. Van Dorn.
It Is reported here that Gen. Price has resigned. I
sincerely hope this is false: for the army he has
commanded would not be worth much without
him. He is more beloved, and has a stronger hold
on the conlldcnce of his men, than any General
West of Virginia. He not only possesses the con-
fidence of his Immediate command, but It seems
to bo general throughout the army. I send you
the latest papers I can get.
It is reported here that there are 30,000 Yankee
troops at the Batfze, and that 20,000 fresh troops
have recently landed at Memphis. Curtls's army
has loft Arkansasand is with Rosoncranz.
Atl the exchanged prisoners that were here have
been sent up to Holly Springs, except a few dis-
charged and those belonging to Sibley's brigade.
I west to the hospital to see if there were any of
the Snd Texas boya there, but found notte. The
booka ahow that Sam Houston, Jr. and Renahaw,
'of oompany F, were ^recommended for discharge
on the 3th of this month, and I presume they are
now on their way home. Both diacharged for
disability caused by wonnds received at the battle
ofShilon. Gen. Van Dorn has been superceded
in this military department bf Gen. Pernberton.
U is said that Gen. Loveil behaved very gallant.
If much to the surprise ot many Misslssippians
and Louislaniana. I can get ao answer to my
