Having arrived at U >rrodsburg t from Frankfort, I determined to give him ^ .battle the*e, and accordingly concentra ^ , ted three divisions of my old command? , , the army of the Mississippi, now under (| Major General Polk?Cheatham's Buck- ? ner's, aud Anderson's?and directed Gen' ?j eral Polk to take the command on the ? 7tb, and attack the enemy the next morn ?. ing. Withers'division had gone the day w before to support Smith. llear.ng on 'he (j( night of the 7th that the force in front of q Smith had rapidly retreated, I moved j,, early next morning to be present at the (e , operations of Polk's forces. The two srinies were formed confront al Ing each other on opposite tides of the p _ town of Perryville. After consulting the 4( General aod reconnoitering the ground a and examining bit dispositions, I declined to assume the command, but suggested ? some changes and modifications of bis ar- ^ eaogements, which be promptly adopted. t| The action opened at 12 1 2, P. M., he B tween the skirmishers and artilfcry on Cl both sides. Finding the evemy inditposi t| ?d to advance upon us, and knowing he ^ was receiving heavy reinforcements, I deemed it best to assail bim vigorously, (r and so directed. tl The engagement became general soon ? thereafter, and was continued furiously tL from that time to dark, our troops never j,( /ailing in their efforts. ra For the time engaged, it was tbe se 0j verest and roost desperately contested en- [,< gsgement within my knowledge. Fear- ? fully outnumbered, our troops did not |,j ^niinig iu engage ?i any oodi, and l|l though checked at time*, they eventual j,| ly carried every position, and drove the c| enemy about two miles. But for the in ^ tervenlion of night we should have corn |)( plated the work. We had captured fifteen pieces of artillery by the most dar- a( ing charges, ki'led one, and wouuding m two Brigadier Generals, and a very large l(] number of inferior officers and men, estimated at no less than 4,000, and eaptur d 400 prisoners, including three staff of- {] fleers, with servants, eariiage and baggage tu ,?f Major General McCook. c , The ground was literally covered with 0f . hie dead and wonnded.

Dear Expre s.?It is with sincere regret that it falls to my lot to report the rjealb or (wo of our most prominent eili* rens?that of Mr. Joe. Graves, and Mr. J M. Shriver. It appears that they, accompanied l?y a nephew of Mr. Grave*, and a free negro who hn* long been in the employ of Mr. Win Allen, went over to Jamestown for lite purpose of getting some negroes for Mr. Alleo. On reaching the shore, they were tired into by some negroes, who were in ambush. Mr. Graves was in itaolly killed. Mr. Shriver and the ne gro were wounded, and Mr. Graves' neph sw, who was about twelve years old, was taken prisoner. Mr. Shriver fell as if he was dead, the isgro lied. The rascals then proceeded ,o strip Shriver and Graves of their cloth* ng. Having finished, Shriver thinking his his best lime for ercape, and know ng that lha most, if not all, of their guns ware empty, arose and ran towards lha ' ireek.

The death of both is sincerely regretted by nil who kne tlrem. The negro states that no white person is on the Island at all.

Central Relief Association for the Carolina Soldiers By resolution of the Central Cotutnitte, I am instructed to publish a brief state merit of the objects of this Association, and the measure* which have been taken ( r their accomplishment. All the nc counts in the newspapers represent the army in Virginia in a state of great d-s titution, and particular in respect to clothing. By some of the I'mv ccrrea poudents, the sad story is told with such feeling and eloquence that every patriots heartjs moved to pity and to tears. The Committee, liowreve-, determined to seek information from the authorities at Rich mond. The information has been re ceived, and it but confirms the previously published accounts. At the session of the Commutes last evening, it wax comma ideated to tiiein, that Col McGowmi, of ilie Hili regiment, 6 C. Volunteers, had just reached the City fqgpi Kichinond, charged with authority to procure cloth iog and blankets fur the Carolina soldiers | lie ?ai invited to meet u*t and attended. I am sure that I speak the language of all present, when I say, that had the whole penp'e of our State have listened to nia utterances as be portrayed the taggedness and suffering of our heroic men, and pleaded their cause with a sol dier's eloquence, the btg heart of Hie Commonwealth would have been stirred, and all would have been stimulated t5 a higher aud more energetic action.
