The Kentucky Campaign.
Knoxvillb, October 25.? An immense wi
gon train of supplies has been brought ont <
Kentucky by Gen. Kirby Smith. The train 1
forty miles long, and brings one million yar<3
of Kentucky jeans, with a large amount of clotl
; ing, boots and shoes, two hundred wagon loac
of bacon, six thousand barrels of pork, fiftee
thousand good mules and horses, eight tboi
sand beeves, and a large lot of hogs. 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

and corn meal in endless quantities, bavin
stolen all the grain in the country and impres
ed all the mills to grind it."
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

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.

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

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

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. So says the Petersburg Exprtss.
