- Mobile, Sept. 28.—A special dispatch to
the Advestiser and Register dated Senatobia,
- Sept. 27, says the Chicago Times of the 23*1,
fountains a dispatch from Louisville of thc22d
inst., which states that Gen. Bragg's forces,
fifty thousand strong, were reported at Hodg
insville en agate for Bardstown, which they
Vould reach at the same time.
The Mayor had ordered all business to be
fetisperided, Gen. Nelson also ordered all the
women and children to prepare to leave.
Gen. Robinson has issued a proclamation
falling the citizens to arms, under Nelson.—
The latter has issued an address to his
troops exhorting them to give a bloody wel
come to the hordes now intading Kentucky.
. Cincinnati dates of the 22d report the city
in a 1 blaze of excitement.
Gen. Bragg was doubtless within ten miles ■
of Louisville.
Gen. Buell had not reached Mnnfordsville.
His movements wore severely commented up
on.
< Gen. Wright had just returned from Louis
ville. He regards- the Federal force there as
sufficient to defend the city, and credits the
report that Gen. Bragg will make a dash on
Louisville. The Secessionists are confident
that Bragg will break through the Federal
columns and take the city, and that he has
not less than fifty thousand troops.
Bragg holds Mulgrove's Hill. 2~> miles from
Louisville, and will .cheek Bnell's passage
in that direction or force him to take a cir
cuitous route, and delay him four days. In
the meantime Bragg ezpects to capture Louis
ville.
, The attack was expected to be made on
Wednespay last, but no intelligence had been
received.
, . Gen. Ileth, with 15,000 men and 10* cannon,
is at Eagle Creek, nearCynthinana; Humphrey
Marshall, with 12 : 000 men and 45 cannon . is
moving from Paris, northward, and Kirby
Smith, with 10,000 men and 10 cannon is
moving north from Lexington. John Morgan,
with 2,500 cavalry, is''seouiing from Bridge's
Station to within'ten miles of the fortifica
tion's.
It is believed that simultaneous with
Bragg's attack Upon Louisville Kirby Smith
with 40,000 men " aful over one hundred can
non will attack Cincinnati; Covington, and
Newport.
. Washington dates to the 21st say that noth
ing official has Leen received to-day from the
army in Maryland. Private dispatches say
there is no doubt that on Thursday and Fri
day, the 18th and 19th. a l.v.ge portion of the
rebel army crossed into Virginia, and imme
diately commenced fortifying, with the view
to cover a retreat. Another authority says
that a considerable body of rebels yet remain

A CLEAN SWEEP.
10,000 YANKEES USED UP.
The Yankees have again caught "Jackson."
Oil Saturday last two of their Brigades were
induced to cross the river at a point near
ShepherddtoWn, in pursuit of Jackson, and
whilst in the act of doing so, they met with
"masked batteries," vttiieh pretty nearly
wiped them out! Intelligent travellers from
Winchester represent the slaughter of the
poor, foolish Yankees as exceeding anvthinsr
that has occurred during the war. Grape and
canister were poured into the dense mass
Crovfded into the river, until th c water Was
reddened with the blood.of the slaughtered
Federals.
It.seems that Jacksons "decoy" and most
tempting-ball at which they bit most eagerly
wasabattery of artillery, placed full in-theix
view. The force attached to this battery was
seen to be a small one, which, of course, in
creased the eagerness of the brave Yankees
to take it. On they came, "horse, foot and
to devour the hapless Confederates
who had charge of the battery, which they
felt sure was already theirs! But to ! and
behold, when the Confederates at the battery
.retreated, a new force appeared and new bat
teries began to play upon them. The result
was, thai but few of the two brigades of Yan
kee*, that had crossed the river ever returned
T again 1 .One account represents this force at
( abodt 10,000. ~ The slaughter was.awful.—
We got.no prisoners, because the terrific work
of our "masked arrangements" left us none
to take ! '
Our attentive friend, Lieut. A. B. Fisher,
Provost Marshal of Winchester, sends us the*
following brief account of this latest ■ Yan
kee victory!" ;
Winchester, Va., Sept. 22, '02. !
Friend Wartmann :— Gen. Jackson almost
annihilated two Yankee brigades on Saturday
last, at Shepherdstowu. The enemy was
Stonewall placecla battery of
artillery in view, and as two brigades crossed
to take it, (the battery,) Gen. J. ordered it to
tall back, when the enemy pursued and our
men cut m, and left but few to cross Mm river
again. It was a regular Ball's Bluff affair.
. Hastily, A. B. F.
Uoneral Beauregard, accompanied by his
Aids, and alse by Maj. Gen. Pemberton and
staff, arrived in Savannah Saturday afternoon
by a special train from Charleston. Col A
J. Gonzales, Chief of Artillery, is also of the
party-
Bad as was the weather, the rain pouring
throughout the day, General B. was engaged
through the whole of yesteuday in inspecting
the defences of the oity, which we hope he
found fully up to his expectations.— Savan

I Died, in. the Hospital, afj' Charlottesville, on
the 11th Sept., Mr. John jA. Kestnob, of this
county, Capt. Gobble's company, 48th Regt. Va.
Vols., aged 34 years. Mr. £estnor was wound
ed in the arm at the battle- of Manassas. His
arm was subsequently amputated, and soon af
ter he died.
Died, 7th August, 1863? in camp near Gor
dcmsv/lle, Va : , Thomas Preston McDowell,
j youngest son of the late Gov* McDowell of Vir
ginia.
The subject of this notice was, in the begin
ning of this war, a resident of Texas, and par
ticipated in the movements which resulted in
the expulsion of the Federal troops from that
State. But when Virginia, on the outposts as
she was, called on her sons to protect her soil,
sacred with the graves of their fathers from ptf
lntion by Northern hordes, be, with thousands
of others impelled by that love of State, which,
a vestal flame seems never extinguished in
the bosoms of her children, rushed to her rescue;
and ia his native county of Rockbridge, enroll
ed himself a privats in an artillery company,
(Capt, Licke.) Gallantly andwit hdistinguished
bravery did this do his duty in
the battles, which, under Major General J'aek
f£°' resulted in driving the invading armies from
the Valley of Virginia. The combined virtues
of gentleness, and that manliness composed of
chivalrous feeling and undaunted courage, se-
cured alike the devotion of his family, and the
love an! admiration of his comrades. If a
"heartfelt desire to be like Christ, and a child
of God makes us so, (for in a letter to his sis
ter, he said, "I hope the spirit of God is mov
ing upon my heart," while his knapsack con
tained evidences of much reading on the suhject
of religion,) then we claim for him the title of
"Christian soldier," a title, in our estimation,
far more exalted than that, so weH deserved,
and given his distinguisded father of Christie
Statesman.
Truly there is consolation for his bereaved
wife and sisters for this great sacrifice made on
their country's altar.— Richmond Enq. F.
Died, cf Camp Fever, at Flint Hill, Rappa
hannock county, on the night of the 17th Sept.,
Davis Aldebson, of the 87th Regt. Va. Vols
and eldest sou of Capt, Geo. W. Alderson. Anx
ious that his family shoul dhave a representative
m the army, this youth entered the service be
fore he was 17—was in several battles—once
wounded—and at all times acted the brave and
dutiful soldier. And more, from all we know,
we have good grounds to hope that he has ex
changed a world of sorrow and pain, for one
where the carnage of war is never known, but
where peace and joy reign evermore.
