Panola, June 18.—(Special to the Missis sippian )—A heavy force of Yankee cavalry is marching on the Youghogany. Between that point and Greneda are Haith and Wallace's Yankee cavalry, who are rigging rafts to cress the Tallahatchie, with the intention of de stroying the road, thus cutting off Johnston's supplies.

Editors Advocate: I wish to acknowledge through yoqr co lumns, the receipt ef thirty bbls. flour, pre sented by Col. Samuel £. Goodson, for use.of our army, and beg that you will commend ) bjn generosity to the consideration of your numerous friens as a worthy example. Respectfully, W. B. WILLIAMS, Commissary Agent. There are some persons in this community who will probably follow the worthy exam ple of Col. Goodson, while many will find various reasons why they must be excused. One with elevated eye-brows, and an air oY Sreat gravity, will say, "I am not rich like le Colonel." Another, with similar air, will «y, "If I bad no children to use ray means Ed heir myVproperty, I would give thirty irrels of flotr and enough bacon to feed many a hungry soldier." While others with equally frivilous reasons will begin to make excuses. If such cannot give thirty barrels, let them five less, and if they have children, they on / have so much the more involved in this fearful struggle and should make their in vestments to support our cause the more promptly and liberally. Is it unreasonable that our citizens at home, should be expected to live upon vegetables and fowls and fruits and milk and butter, so as to furnish all the flour and bacon and corn and beef, which they can possible spare to feed and sustain our brave armies ? Let no one excuse himself. If each indi vidual will do their duty a mighty aggregate will soon be found. Ko»south—the great Hungarian exile; said, "No man deserves to be praised for performing hie duty to his country, but he who does not, deserves utter and everlasting contempt and condemnation." Col. Goodson is a man of sense. He felt tbis to be his duty and thus acted. He needs nor expects no praises, but let others who should act upon this subject and refuse to do so, remember tbat tbey deserve and shall re ceive the contempt and execration of the generous and patriotic of tbis and generations to come. +++ Yankee Cruelty—Forty three Ne groes Drowned One of the most atrocious incidents of the whole war was yesterday related to us by a gentleman of tbis city, who obtained the facte from Capt. Jas. G. White, of King William county, who vouches for the accuracy of tbe statement. Some days ago, when the Yan kees* made their raid to Aylett's, they visited the place ef Dr. Gregg, living in-the neighbor hood, and took front their comfortable homes forty-three negroes, who were hurried off to York river and placed on board a vessel bound northward. Along with these negroes, as a prisoner, was a gentleman named Lee, a resi dent and highly respectabel citizen of King William, who has since been released and al lowed to return to his home. He states tbat wfcen the vessel arrived in Chesapeake Bay, htpe small-pox made its appearance among the ■Tegroes, tlstt disease having existed to some extent among the same family before they were dragged from their homes in King Wil liam. The Captain of the Yankee vessel and his crew were greatly alarmed at the appear ance of the disease on board, and very soon determined to rid the vessel of the presence of the negroes. Without attempting to make the shore, and, not considering for an instant tbe inhumanity of the cruel deed, the whole negro cargo was thrown into the Bay, and «yery one left to perish by drowning. Not one, perhaps, escaped the cruel fate visited upon them by these who profess to be their earnest friends and warmest sympathizers.— Richmond Dispatch. • —' * •* *■ From the Mobile Advertiser & Register.

White and Adams' cavalry attacked four hundred of the enemy's cavaly at Bear Creek, near Mecbanicksborg yesterday and routed them, capturing their artillery and killing and wounding 100. Our loss was 25 killed and wounded, among the latter Capt. W. Yorger, who distinguish ed himself greatly in the action. ♦ ♦ ♦ From Vicksburg. Jackson, Jane 22d.—On Saturday morn ing at 2 o'clock, the enemy made another furious assanlt on our lines near Vicksburg. The action lasted until ten o'clock A. M., ending in the complete rout of the enemy. Citizens from the neighborhood report that the fire of musketry exceeded anything ever heard, and that the loss of the enemy is heavier than in any other attack. Nothing whatever is known in regard to our loss, but It is certain another great victo ry has been gained. The special correspondent of the Mississip pian estimates the loss of the enemy Satur day at 10,000. He also says the enemy are throwing pontoon bridges across tbe Big Black, between the Railroad bridges and Bol wen's Ferry, near Warren ton. It is reported-our forces have taken posses sion of Union Bluff on the Yazoo. SECOND DISPATCH. Jackson, June 22.—One of our scouts just returned from the interior of the enemy's lines, reports that they acknowledge their loss to be heavier than in any other assault, and that it is variously reported at from seven to ten thousand; that our victory was complete and their troops are much depressed in con sequence, and that they say Vicksburg has over been a slaughter'pen. They abuse Gen. Grant for undertaking an impossibility. » » » Kirby Smith's Position.

OBITUARI_si An Extract. Wihchestbb, Va., June 16th, 1863. Dear Father and Mother i I fear the news contained in tbis, will almost break your hearts, but I hope you will bear it with christian fortitude, when you learn that your dear boy in passing from this world, was cheered by the prospects of a better one, and desired me,, and you all, to meet him in Heaven. Frank was wounded Saturday, June 12th, near Bunker Hill. I helped to carry him from the field on a blanket, and was with him con stantly till he died, just after 12 o'clock Sun day night. He spent most of the time in calm, fervent prayer, and talking of the dear ones at home. * * * * . He fell by the side of his Colonel, at the head of our victorious columns, and said, "I die in a holy cause—in defence of our liberties and homes." * * * I have strong rea son to believe his brave spirit is in Heaven.*— I May God sustain us all. Oh, how much I miss him, and how much I need a letter just now from home! JOS. D. ALDERSON. Frank M. Aldbbson was 19 years old, at tached to Co. A, 16th Va Cavalry, and son of Dr. Alderson, of this county. Burned to death, in Rye Cove, Soott county, Va., on Monday evening, May 18th, 1868, El- Jebt J. Mintee, infant son of J..S. and Louisa I. Minter, aged about two years and ten months. Little Elbert was a child of much sprightliness, and peculiarly winning in his disposition and manners. He was quite a favorite with all the family, and his untimely death will long cast a shadow of gloom over the little household which his presence once lighted. At the time of his burning, all were absent from the house but his little sister, who was about four years old, his mother just leaving the house a few minutes to go a short distance. But his mother did not arrive in time to witness the burning of her darling child. What sad and awful emotions must have filled her bosom as she approached the house where her little darling child lay witb his clothing all burned off of him, and his little body solidly* crisped from head to feet. His ghastly appearance told the sad tale, that he soon must be laid in the cold silent tomb, and his sweet little face hid by the coffin lid from her sight forever. Beneath the tall oak tree his head is pillowed low, no more his sweet little presence will cheer the hearts of his parents that'doted on him so. He lived abont one hour after the burning. His little sister says his clothes caught fire in the house, and he started running in the direction his mother had gone, but soon fell on his face, to raise no more until he was lifted up in a manner dead. Yet why mourn for little Elbert ? In that better land we know he is happy. While yet his little feet were strangers to the paths of sin and sorrow, our Heavenly Father saw fit to take him to himselfc Murmur not, the Lord doth all things well. Died, in this county, on the 17th inst., at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Hugh Mehaffey, Mrs. Sallie A. Gobble, wife of Capt. Thomas M. Gobble, aged 21 years.

TO FARMERS AND QUARTERMASTERS, The following is the syste_ adopted for the, collection of the tax in kind i An officer of the Quartermaster General's De partment is assigned to the special charge of the subjects. A controlling Quartermaster, with the rank of Major, is assigned to -each State, and a Post Quartermaster, wit)i the rank of Cap tain, to each Congressional District, where it is practicable to collect the tentit Each Congressional District will be subdivid- ' ed by the Post Quartermaster in charge of it in to sections, for the convenient delivery by the tax-payer of hfs quota of produce, and agents will be appointed by that officer to take charge of the depots to be established in each section. Before these depots can be established, or the assessments required under the law be made, the crops of small grain, hay, and the clip of wool for the present year will have been secured. To relieve farmers from the risk and inconve nience of storing- the Government portion, as well as to obtain immediate supplies for the use of the army, the Department authorizes and re quests farmers residing near posts where Quar termasters are now stationed to deliver the go vernment's tenth or any part cflf it, to that Quar termaster. Under the law, farmers are required to deliv er their tenth at depots not more than eight miles from the place of production. If they will deliver under this request, the Government will pay for the transportation in excess of eight miles. The Quartermaster receiving pro duce nnder the rule will give receipts to the producer as evidence that so much of his tax is paid. And as the Post Quartermaster of the Congressional District is responsible for the tenth, after the assessor- has established and made it known to him, the Quartermaster to whom the produce is delivered will also receipt for it to the Post Quartermaster of the District who will endorse a copy of -the receipt upon the assessor's estimate before transferring it to the agents at the receiving'depot.
