Burke, made the attack on the Yankee goo. yj boats at the point above Memphis; the Col. Lovell, Capt. "DeUney, followed ; then the Sumter, Capi Wallace Lamb;.then the BeaureganJ; Hurt. The Rebel, ce Capt. Fowler, being the flag-ship, she plied W1 among our ships giving the commands of ra' Commodore Montgomery. The gan-boat m Genera! Price, acoording to orders, remain-. ed in the bend below. The GeqerarBragg, V with the above boats, comprised all' the n -*- * ? * - * -- lias uon tea urate neet.- .. *: . The Beaton,-St. Lo.uip, Louisville, Cairo and four more gun-boats; the Queen of the P? West, Monarch, Lancaster, Dick Fuller, . Aleek Soott; and two more rams, Dailies oot known, and sir tug-boats, with a Dumber th of transports with troops, composed the Yankee fleet. ' th * wl We opened fire on tbe enemy, and after ^ exchanging some twenty shots, the ram, Queeo of tbe West, attempted to Ton into tbe Thompson, but missing, struck the ^ Lovell amidships, which suok out of sight in about ten minutes; the Sumter struck QQ the Queen of the West before she conld fco extricate herself from the Lovell, 'entirely destroying "her, when she went to the bank Tbe Federal ram, Monarch, then made a pass at the flag-ship .Rebel, which tbe Rebel eluded, and she passed on and etruok gr the Thompson. The Rebel was then at- {j0 tacked by tbe abot of the BentOD, completely riddling her. Here tbe engagement j { became genera), and tbe %bei was making m( for the Arkansas shore, owing to the injury CQ received to her engines, when the ram, 80] Monarch, struck her and she weDfc 16 the je( bottom in shoal water. ;* jj. The battle lasted about eighty minutes, when the Earl Van Dorn and the General te( Bragg started down tbe stream, it beiDg evident to their brave commanders that it w. was useless to contend with such overwhel- ^ miogodds. ?, The gun-boat Geo. Price, during the e(j engagement, came up aod made a dash at cu " if i t _ ^ it _ the stern ot the ram inooarcn, ana at me es same time the Beauregard* made a lick at m the Monarch, both striking her a glancing w, lick, whioh.threw the bow of the Beaure- re gardinto the wheel of the Price ; thus she ,jc was disabled by ber friend, the Beauregard, mi and went to the bank. The fatality on the Beauregard must hfcve been very great, thinks our informant," m as the enemy's shot passed completely jy through ber bulkhead into her boilers, and m the steam rusbed the full length of the dtj k081' t,J$ | th There were noiroops in Memphis at the time of the engagement.' tu Oar informant left on the last train, about-9 o'clock, A. M., on which General ae Ruggles took his departure for Grenada.? jsj When this train passed the bridge near the an city, it was burnt by bis order. pi Caph Gordon was sent out by Comman- co der Montgomery with the first boat to piok sa up the wounded and those who were at- Wl tempting to escape by swimming from the jy sinking boats, and our informant with the iQ second boat, when he was shelled and ^ graped, tearing away the stern of bis boat, n; which did not, however, render it unnavi- vj gable. ' p( Mr. Reader has no doubt of the safety so of the" Commodore, as be saw him take wa- ot ter when the Mooarch struck the Rebel. Our informant speaks of a miraculous ["so case of preservation among the crew of the uj Kebel. As the Monarch passed her, her T, sharp-shooters poured a most destructive fo fire cpon the decks of the Rebel, riddling pi her in a most shocking manner, yet strange ri| to say, not a man was injured.

Mr. Editor :?Your- correspondent Stonewall" was recently so severe in his ;rictures upon oertain cotton buyers from last Tennessee, that we aire inclined to be eve he is vigilant "over-milch." A.few tots on this same subject, if you please; An .agent of this Tennessee firm has soured this section of the State, buying at uitc a remunerative price all the "cotton he juld. He bought' the subscribcr'6 crop t ten cents per pound, and left-it piled on le plantation with conditions, that; when le war closed, or the blockade was raised, le seller is to deliver it at the nearest deot. Verbal instructions, too, were left, iat rather than a bale of it should'fall in> the hands of the Yankees the torch hould be applied to it. We presume the lme conditions were given to all the plantrs, as none of the cotton sold was moved om the plantations, though the cash was aid for every pound of it. Now we contend, that if this firm is of le Andy Johnson stamp, they are the best iends the Confederacy has, for two reasons > wit: they are circulating thousands of loney, and the moment they can be proven > be friends of the enemy their property left on the plantations) can he, and must e, confiscated.
