Th Cincinnati Commercial says, that "The plundc takon by Bragg's forces is spoken of by me who have seen it as immense, consisting < SOOO barrels of pork, 8000 head of cattle, 100 mules and horses, and all the stocks of di goods, groceries and provisions taken from th fifAPAQ nf T nvin^f AW Tin XT * wwwa v?

Louisville dates, of the 23d inst., contain tli following:?Morgan made a successful raid o Lexington on the 21st, capturing a regirnei of 520 men, Ohio cavalry, whom he parole* keeping their - horses and equipments. E camped at night near Versailles. On the 22 he overtook a train of 78 wagons on the Bard town Turnpike. These he destroyed. B also captured another train late in the eveninj but the number of wagons is not known. E made the entire circuit of Buell's army an joined Bragg again. All is quiet in the direction of Nashvill Nothing is known of Buell's movements. Gc Bragg has been ordered to Richmond, at left here on his way thither yesterday. Ge Polk commands our array during his absenc The loss of Cheatham's division (three brigade in the battle of Perry ville was 1450 killed at wounded, being about one-thjrd of the cntii division. This division bore the brunt of tl battle, capturing three battelies. Major Gc Lipscomb, of the 21st Mississippi, was anion the killed. The Conscript Law went into operation t< day in East Tennessee. It will be rigidly ei forced. Clothing for the Soldiers?Dispatc from the Secretary of War.?The Savai cah Republican says: As our correspondent testimony regarding the suffering in the arm had been questioned, and a statement given 1 the public, on the assurance of army officer that the Government was abundantly supplie with shoes, clothing, and other necessaries an comforts for the army, which would be di tributed at a proper time, and that private ii dividuals were making unnecessary sacrifici under a mistaken view of the case, we dete msined, if possible, to satisfy both the public an ourselves on the subject. Wo, accordingl; addressed a note of inquiry to the Secretary < War, who promptly replied by telegraph i follows: Richmond, October 21, 1862. J. R. Snbbd:?We desire all the assistant in sunDlDinflr shoes, blankets and clothincr thi i I t O ' O can be famished. Geo. W. Randolph, Secretary of War. Thi& settles the qnestion; and now, let a the people go to work. Shoes, socks, drawer vests, neck ties, indeed clothing of every di scription, should be made up ns fast as post ble, and forwarded to the army. Sentenced to be Hung.?We learn froi the Darlington Southerner that W. H. Wii gate, who was convicted at the late term of th Court of the murder of G. F. Williams, an who appealed for a new trial, has been unsui cessful in bis appeal, and has been sentence to be hang on Friday November 21. Garrotting is now a crime of nightly occui rence in Richmond. The Examiner mentior that on monday night Capt. Anderson Fergi son of Sooth Carolina, was knocked down o Mayo street, Richmond, and robbed of si > hundred dollars. 4 The Flffbt at Pocoialigo?Further i- Particulaas. >f Ap the details of the recent repulse of the , is enemy reach ns, the affair assumes the aspect 1 |8 of quite a brilliant success, of which the brave < i- soldiers of Col. Walker's command may well j Is be proud. It appears that the enemy's force n consisted of detachments of eight regiments* i- from Pennsylvania, New Hamshire, Rhode j ie Island and Connecticut. Each detachment ?r numbered 400 men, so that the attacking force j n of infantry consisted of about 3200 men, be- j jf sides which there was a full battery of field 1 0 pieces and two boat howitzers. These troops j y were commanded by Brig. Gen. Terry. Hav- 1 io ing effected their landing at an early hour and p. driven in our pickets, the Yankees advanced ; ir rapidly towards the railroad. They first en* 1 <4 1 . 1 t 1 g connterea our iorces about eleven o clock a. m., 3. and the fight was kept up with more or less i spirit from that time until five o'clock, p. m.? 1 l0 when the enemy began to waver and finally fell 1 ,n back in disorder, leaving his dead upon the 1 field. The action is described by an eye wit" ' [jt ness to have been a second Secessionville af- i [e fair, in the disparity of the forces engaged, in :d the stubborn character of the contest, and in i b- the completeness of the repulse. Capt. Elliott's 1 [e battery and the. Virginia battery are said to ] ^ have covered themselves with glory. A later i [e report, though not official, places the number ] id of our casualties at twenty killed and sixty 1 wounded. e. TIIE VIRGINIA ARTILLERY. n. The heaviest loss was suffered by the Vir- 1 ,d ginia Artillery, Capt. J. N. Lampkin, a gallant ] n. corps which has served,on our coast over since e. the fall of Port Royal. They had four killed s) and sixteen wounded, most'of the latter slightly. 1 id The battery went into action with 35 men. A j re large number of its horses wcro killed. The ie Old Dominion boys also lost a caison, owing | o. to the horses having taken fright, but captured ig one from the enemy, which made things even. ] The enemy burned the caison which they j o- took. ' n- BEAUFORT VOLUNTEER ARTILLERY. r Capt. Stephen Elliott, jr., writes to the j Charleston Mercury that the list of Casualties ^ h in the Beaufort Volunteer Artillery, number [i- 14 wounded?but none dangerously. 1 ?8 The Charleston Light Dragoons had soven 1 wounded in that Company. < ^ In the Rutlodge Mounted Riflemen only two ( :o casualties?both slight. s, Besides the above, we hear that Major Morid gan of the Squadron of cavalry, was wounded * ^ in the leg, and Lieut. Middleton Stuart, of the 1 Sharpshooters, wounded in the arm. Among ^ s" the enemy's dead left on the field was a Capt. j n" Hamilton, of a German battery in the Yankee , 38 service. Wo captured two prisoners, who were r_ broright to the city last evening. They state ' |(j that at the time they quitted Port Royal, na 1 iron-clad had yet made its appearance among j the vessels at that station. I ?f The abolition troops, in their retreat, left the is ground strewn with excellent knapsacks, filled with Yankee notions of various kinds. They 1 also threw aside large numbers of carefully 1 prepared fagots, to be used for incendiary pur- j !e poses. A friend has sent us a specimen of ? *t these fagots, consisting of split pine, twined with oakum and sprinkled with powder. It { may be seen at our Office. ' .. The following official account of the action j was issued by Gen. Beauregard in Savannah } on the 23d insk e- The Abolitionists attacked in force Pocotal- r ,j_ igo and Coosawatchie yesterday. They were gallantly repulsed to their gunboats at Mack ' ey's Point and Bee's Creek Landing, by Col. i W. 9. Walker, commanding the District, and \ 11 G. P. Harrison, commanding the troops sent n~ from here. The enemy had come in thirteen >e transports and gunboats. The Charleston and * d Savannah Railroad is nninjured. The Abolic ists left their dead and wounded on the field, , and our cavalry is in hot pursuit " G. T. Beauregard, ( General commanding. t _ . - oTHB LATEST. ? ^ Official despatches, received last evening, < is announce that the enemy's fleet of gunboats j i- and transports, which had been lying at Mack- ( n ey's Point since the action, yesterday afternoon . steamed down Broad River to Port Royal. x So ends the'first exploit of the valiant Mitchell 1 on the South Carolina coast. 1 A Pressing Yankee Want. The Philadelphia Inquirer thro enlarge* jpon the necessity of subjugating Virginia. With such views and object*, is it likely South Carolina wjll receive many troop* from Virginia. Let us look to it in time. Wo want Virginia; eagerly, earnestly, and in a hurry; scores of victories elsewhere, Cor inth redivivua, Kentucky cleared out," even Charleston taken, cannot mako amends for Virginia unconquered; the seat, stronghold And . Oj main-stay of the rebclion itself. Let oar policy be to conquer Virginia at once; to place the axe at the root of the " tree; to dictate terms from Richmond; and to destroy tho tobacco wareliouso with grand bonfire and lllnmin nwivu* To do this, let us concentrate all our forces which can now be spared, or which shall bo raisud for this purpose, and move without any furthor delay. Let cvory regiment in garrison be sent into the field, and replaced by one of the new levies, and then inarched Jorv>ard? Let us push forward through and over all obstacles, harrassing the enemy day and nightwhen he advances, drive him back; when he retires, pursue him; when he halts and tnrns at bay, overthrow him; if there are to be over powering numbers, let them be on our side, and not on his. Let us conquer Virginia*, or expend every man and every dollar in showing that it cannot bo done. The want of the Government and the nation is Virginia. Happy the man who supplies the waut; happy now and in eternum\ for, when we have Virginia, then comcth the cnd.Seir-ELcliance. We fear that an undue importance is Attached by some persons to the elections whteh havojust occurred, and those about to tadbe place, in the United States. For our part; s?ya the Richmond Whig, wo content ourselves with believing that the Confederate States hare* but little to hope, and nothing to fear, from those elections. The run-mad Abolitionists propose to conquer and rob us of all we hate# rho so-called Conservatives propose to subjugate us, and then receive us back into their Union on their own terms. Tbey both a** jcverate that the war is to be waged with afl possible vigor and detorraination, and they quarrel among themselves upon the superior efficiency of their respective plans tor "crush* ng out the rebellion." If either scheme could ec carried out, we should have but little choice between them. If the South could be subjil' rated, it would matter but little then what befell _our possessions or ourselves, since with Yankee masters life would not be worth tile having. We* feel but slight concern, therefore, which faction may come out uppermost, Looking to Northern elections as a means of benefit to the South, is a weakness of which we were long since cured. We erpect the Confederate States to obtain their independence . by conquering it Tbey look no longer across the Potomac nor across the Atlantic for aid* * Their only reliance is the unconquerable spirit :>f a people determined to be free on jarth or free among the dead," and the favor of a ust and benignant Providence. They hnvw . sacrificed and suffered much, hut the thought ?* A j\ iiji iiiu nub cuucicu nujf UiflUl WIJU> rhej hare achieved triumphs of which they ire justly proud, but they would fight on just is resolutely if they kuew there was nothing Hit disappointment and disaster ahead; for hey mean to have liberty or die struggling or it. Handsome Present.?General Beauregard ias made Stonewall Jackson a handsome yw mi. It is a splendid silver-mounted pistol, of i new pattern, made in Paris expressly for Fackson. The pistol is a revolver, navy site, sonstructed to throw balls as a cannon throws ijrape shot. With this formidable weapon, an >ffioerhard pressed hi action might destroy laif a dozen enemies at a single discharge. Aw ippropriate inscription is engraved en the silver plating.
