Little or no resist- ! ance appears to have been possib,le, and after firing one volley the Fed erals and negroes were dispers,'d, some of them being taken prisontrs. Trhe Federals put their loss in killed arm seven, and thirty wounded. t. wagons with stores were captured. Another party of Yankees, escorting twenty wagons of provisions and c'amp equipage, were very .suddenly pounced upon by our men the same day. T''he wagons were taken and Ceventeen Yankees killed. iA party of ninety Federals w;'ere surprised near Helena about timhe same time. and all killed wounded or captured bht two. This is the Yankee ver aorn of the story, and we have no doibt. if the truth was known their loss would be much greater than that reported.

View this question in what light we may, it would be exceedingly dif- t ficult to arrive at any correct couelu- ih sion. There are so man'y diversities ' of opinion oa this subject, that we venture the assertin that no two persons could be :bouid who enter- t tained the same ideas about the mat- ft ter. From the comlnencement of this war to the present titte, the pro grammn e the North has been so in trically 'uaried that our wistst. heads b have been puzzled. Wt c(' an scarce ly believe that the `orth now, in teuds nmaking any great da,',nstra tint in the'field. y'liy hav ben taught by experiense, that they mis- t calculated their unlertaking, fir this. t we desire no better evidence thanI' their own aicknowl,(d1wru-nt and t,,he exhibit of the etato of their finances. ii which makes the'n look naghast at I the probable result, and great ,cherernr t as they profess to be they stani no i plussed.

Advocate gives some interesting particulars' of the capture of Murfreesboro by Col. .Forrest. It says : From thirty to forty of our men were kill ed, and from 40 to 50 wounded. This was ti done principally by the battery, and from b the Courthouse, in which large numbers of the enemy had taken shelter. Our mien9 broke a hole in the courthouse, and were about burning it with its contents, when if they learned that the Yankees had a nunm- d ber of the citizens of Murfreesboro under ar re t in a large upper room, in order to try them for treason against the Lincoln dy nasty. tr Never were soldiers hailed with more en- 5 thusiastic expressions of g;ratitude and exul- n tution, than were the Confederate soldiers hailed by the citizens of the town. Nuru- g hers of them, including not a few ladies, ht joined in the bloody cunflict, and with pis tols and everything else with which they co ,uld fight, tassisted in dealing dismay and tl death upon the hated invaders of their homus and their rights. V It was yet early in the morning when our forces commenced the attack. and nua1ny of jt t: e ladies of the place could not he restrain ed liron rushing into the streets, with dis beveled hair and in their sleeping attire. cheering our soldiers ; and when any would tfil, or were wounded, they would clasp tha: 'in their arne, assisting in bearing t he:u to their houses and ruinistering to themn its to dclivering angels, and when our ofli a tcis would reministrate, telling thein that n they were :n danger from the shots of the ,1 e ,rtin'y, they would reply that the Lord V. .u ti defeud then:,and that it was no great or per:l than that to which their gallant de ttildlts 'were il (rlutsed.
