Our Ouenillag, Then' arc some five or six hundred relict hiishw hacker, operating around this place, within a circuit whose radius is iodic twenty mile in extent, who may lie railed with propriety our hush whack ers. They prowl in aquad htitnlierinp; from fifty to one hundred in the ery vicinity of the city, and frequently come in smaller squads within a tniin or two of our lines. On Sunday evening a dozen of theru rode up and fired on our pickets on the Charlotte pike, without tloinj; any damage; while n-lr! tire brought two of the rarnln down, who were then raptured. The same evening a rare farce wan played by these Martlet; and uu wanhed lire-eaters.

Kquip ped with this flag of triiceFAj.vi:i:T rode into the city, and demanded the surren der of Nashvillo and the Federal army, the demand being; made in tlu name of Acting Assistant Adjutant I'aii, aid to lien. S. It, Andkksos! Whether the Ad jutant is n relation of St. I'ai i, or -Pretty Toll," we did not learn. The sinrcii der was not made, and the truce-bearer rode back to his companions in disgust, to the great astonishment of a huge num ber of rebels who believed that twenly tlitiutuiitl. Confederate soldiers wer.i within three miles of the city, each fellow carrying; a thirty-two pounder on his shoulder. Wo are patient very patient remarkably and emi nently patient but wc confess that it iloes not seem im ixiflsi )! to scatter these impudent gueiiill: gangs as easily as inougn i nry were so many pnrlrnlges or pigeons. Tim only tlifliculty in the way id riitline them to pieces is that they run like ratihil when a federal force of half their number conies In sight. Still wc feel a little provoked, a little chagrined, 'hat these marauders should insult us in this manner, and cut oil' our supplies of mar keting. The families of rjch rebels are supplied privately by fiieuds in the ' country, while poor families have to pay enormous prices lor marketing, or go without. Would not a little exercise be a frolic to our bravo boys, who would greatly prefer to stir about than lie idle in camp'.' Our linn conviction is that all our annoyances are caused by less than six hundred strangling bushw hackers all told. We can wipe these fellows out if we make the i Hurt ; w hile t he achieve ment would add greatly to the military ardor of our soldiers and the peace and comfort of the community.

He not only legalizes them by force, but also grively assures the unhappy persons whom his soldiers compel to barter their crops for Confederate paper, that the notes they receive are perfectly good. In reply to this assertion oT Ceneral Smi i a, wo might ask, w hether any creditor in the Southern Confederacy would be w illing to collect good debts, w ell secured, in Confederate notes I Would any creditor iceeivo such money if ho could help himself? Would any secession merchant in this city , take. Confederate Notes in payment for goods? Would any intelligent farmer in this county accept such money for provender or provisions ? I'.ut wc need not ask such questions to refute (ienenil Smitu's statement. We find in the commercial column of the Richmond inquirer, of September lSlh, afar more effectual refu tation of this empty boast of a rebel General, than we could elaborate in a whole page of fads and arguments. Hole is the refutation : Sl'K.ciK. We quote gold and silver at loo to 1 10 per cent, in demand. In the very capital of the rebel Confed eracy gold and silver are at i.-nr hinnlrnl o nil rir Innuli fil nml forty crnl. rrmiiim. In other words, it takes tanW'iift and trii (jlltr nail fifty cents in Confederate money to get specie in Uichmond, Vir ginia ! We suppose the lower rate is for silver and the higher rale for gold. fien. Smith is eM'oetualjy answered. And now we ask how much better than highway robbery is it to force tanners and store keepers to take such trash in payment for valuable property ? It is no better; nay, it is worse, for it is adding the in suit of pretended honesty, to the crime of robbery. Why refugees from nil parts ol the Confederacy have told us thai business men were eager to pay, very so crelly, it is true, from lil'ty to one hund red per cent for 1'. S. Treasury notes.

Sun t nrendcr of the City to the Fed erals. EAYOU SARA BURNED. The New Orleans lella of September '.lib gives full particulars of two battles by the iron-clad gunboat Kssex.the des truction of !ayou Sara, and (Iip bom bardment and capture of the city of Natchtz. , The United Slates iron-clad steamer Kssrs, Commodore W. I. Porter, arrived from up the river yesterday. We have some very important and interesting news by this arrival, comprising some ot the acts and doings of lliis monster iron ship w ith iron hearts. About a week (more or less) ato, ns the Kssex w as cruising along in the river, the lookout reported the rebel gunboat Wm. II. Webb in sight. Chase wasgiv en immediately, and she was pursued past the suns at Vii-Wmrjr. The Kssex then started down the river, and on reaching Natchez, sent a boat's crew ashnrc for ice. The boat, on nearing the shore, w as tired into by the rebels and several nf the crew wounded, for this act of temerity the whole shooting force of the Kssex was brought to bear upon the lll-tatetl city lor about I wo hours ami a half, when a deputation was sent down vi i I It a proposition to surrender the city and hoist the Stars and Stripes. Com modore rol ler tlien ordered the bring lo cease, and proceeded down the river mil t oil' l'.ayou Sara, w here ho ramn to a stop long-enough to bum that ill-fated abode of rebels. There were but two houses loll, standing one belonging tna gentle man who is said to be Iriendly lo the I nion cause, anil Hie other the property ol a lady. We did not learn what insult was the immediate cause of this visita tion of vengeance. On Sunday, as the Kssex was coining down the river, a rebel battery of thirty four guns, opposite l'ort Hudson, opened upon her, and a tierce battle, at not more than eighty feet distance, bepan, which lasted an uour. At the end of that time the battery was silenced and the steamer passed on down. 1 he relict battery was mounted with gnus of very heavy calibre; bnt the circumstance only sulhce to prove the re luarkable powers of resistance ol the Kssex. Her iron sides s-ere struck in multitude of places with 10-inch aud other sized balls, the result in nil case being I he same a slight indentation into the sides of the steamer, and then the ball breaking into a thousand fragments and tailing; harmlessly into the water lliel.sso.x commenced with the upper gun, and silenced them all, one after tin other. She is truly a formidable craft and comes fully up to the most sanguine expectations of her designer and builder, who, our leaders will recollect, is Coiunio dure roller himself. Certainly nothing the people of New Orleans have ever seen in the shape ol an "iron-clad can com pare with the Kssex. In the contest with the battery at Port Hudson, the smoke pipes and the venti lator were perlorated in numerous places. and present something Iho appearance of being rust -eaten. It was impossible to ascertain what the lows of Ihe rebels was, as those en gaged in Ihe Kssex were too Well pro tecled by inn armor to permit their see ing- more ; but. as the action was at. very close quarters, the loss on shore must have been heavy. There was no casualty on the steamer. The names of Porter and Kssex have already passed into history in a forme generation, and the exploits of Ihe gallant old frigate in the waters of the Pacific have been the animated theme of dis course around niillio.-.s of American hearthstones. This generation can now ton, boast of a Porter, the son of the gal lant sailor w ho shed so much lustre upon Ihe I nited States .Navy ; ami tun l.ssex ton, a craft of his own invention, naiiiei after the famous cruiser, anil, like her. distinguished for being almost without rival in her line of seivice.

I. liO'. ... .1.1.. f. leading idras of Iho rebel commanders are, to recapture this city, to jot posses sion of Fort Pillow, and to cross Pi ice's army from that or some other point on the rive r above here, into Missouri. There are some reasons hr thinking- thai these attempts are to be made very soon, perhaps within a few days. There is no longer room for doubt that Ihoy con tempi al I'd a sudden descent upon some point in this vicinity. My informant was at (irenada duruw the whole of last w eek, and says that during that time and up lo Ihe lime when ho ell, immense trains, some of them seeming half a mile in length, crowded to their utmost capacity w th troops, were continually passing- Ori'iia da on their way lo Holly Springs, two, three and even folic such trains Icing sent i ack past (irenada during the same night. This w as linden Inod to be Fovck iniiilge's division, and during Iho la-t ten days as many as si.xty or seventy thousand troops must have passed north ward. The crowded state of all Ihe northward going- tra ns on the road may be inferred from the fact that eight men whti bad deserted from P ice's army, and who were lo be sent back to him al Abbyville, had been taken down lo every train that passed for three tlavs, but in no e of which room could be found for them. These forces were transHii'toil by (he railroad to Holly Springs, which is about forty miles southeast of this city, but it was well understood throughout (he army that they were lo move immediately from that place as soon as the entiro force had come up. Price, whoso army is represented as large but much dentoral i.etl. is also moving- up to join P.rockiui idge at Holly Springs. The only figures I could obtain relative to the strength of Price's divis ion was that he hail L",000 cavalry ; but setting his whole force at 2t,(XKi, w hich is much below what rumor gives him, and adding these to Ilreckinritlgc'a di vision already at Holly Springs, it makes the enemy's forco at that place in the neighborhood or 1K ,000. (irenada, it will be remembered, is at (he junction of the Mobile and Ohio and the Mississippi and Tennessee liailroads, and from there, after seeing the forces pass up on the Mobile and ( thin liailnmd, my informant came by the Mississippi and Tennessee llailroad to Senatnbia. on bis w ay to this place. (ion. Smith's recent cxjicilitiuu broke up Ihe road and destroyed the bridge over Cold-Water beyond Hernando, ami trains do not now run further north than Senatobia, and he was obliged to come in a hack from Senatobia. Although orders had been received from Ihe rebel headquarters at Jackson lo es cort him beyond the lines, and he had been provided with guard lor that pur pose he was several limes stopped aud detained by guerrillas who who were holding the road between Senatobia and this city. Last night he was arrested by Iheui and compelled to go several miles eastward from the road to where they were encamped. lie was detained all night, but allowed loproeccd this morning. I luring last night several messengers came and went between the camp where he was detained ami illipgue's camp which he afterwards learned was about fifteen miles north of Hernando, conse ipiently about fifteen miles from this city. What Villipiguo's force was he did not learn; he only learned that Jackson's cavalry and Pierson'g cavalry which have been scouting through the country west of Hernando to the rivrp, had join ed Villiiigue, and that various other bands of guerrillas were expected in. During the time that the gentleman was lefained as a prisoner at Clrenada be was cotilincd in a building temporarily ar ranged for a guard-bouse and military prison, the window were barred aud without sash, and be could hear all the conversation that passed between the guards and the per-'ons w ho came and went between the railroad depot and the town, and in alt these conversations the contemplated attack on this city, and Fort Pillow, and Ihe crossing of Price into Missouri were commnn talk. After his release he found il was Iho same throughout the army ami among the citi zens. Price's army, as before mentioned, is said to be nun h deinoralieifiinil many of bis men are deserting. Seventeen desert ers Irom Price were hroii!!hl in lo Ihe pi is on at (irenada at one lime. These men bud tit-M i ti ll and wrre trying lo make their way lo Ihe Federal forces al Hele na, and had reached Iho river a shoil distance ajiove Helena. While they were looking bu- skills or canoes, or some means of getlnm across the river, they were overtaken by the guerrillas and carried back to (irenada. They were miserably clothed, all of theiu raged, and several of them barefooted. They said that Ihe whole of Price's army were in the same condition. They were Mis sourians, and said they bail not seen Inn scarcely heard from their families lot si xleeii mouths.
