- t. \ . . \ From the West. Mobile, May 19.?The special Reporter of the Advertiser and Register at Jackson, learns the particulars of Saturdays's fight from the Adjutant of the 14th Mississippi, who arrived from Canton hast night. The battle was fought' at faker's Creek, about twenty miles west of Jackson. We whipped the enemy badly until reinforced from Jackson. Gen. Pemborton then fell baek to Big Black bridge, lie csti- ' mates our loss at three thousand and theirs at, three times as many. Important from the Went. latest news from tiik akmie8 of grant and johnston. Jackson, Miss., May 18.?The enemy* sent a flag of truce this evening to convey to our lines their principal surgeon, who has been left in charge of tlmir wounded. He states that, in the fight of Saturday Grant , captuied 16 guns, but lost 6000 men. Our ;, troods. according to l.iu w? *.#* 1? t- , ?- - - ??^ vw mo i v|/vi i) ivjii arrobs j 1 the Big Black, in the direction of Viekshurg, i 1 destroying the bridge after they had passed. 1 The onomv then advanced eight miles north, / O " j and this morning found Gen. Johnston's forces ( in line of battle. < Our advices, on the contrary, say that we ! < lost no artillery, that the bridge over the Big ' 1 Black was not burned, and that, in the battle ' \ of Saturday, 12,000 of our men fonglit two of ( Grant's Army Corps, 24,000 men, with success, ( sustaining their position all day long, and only 1 . falling back at night to their entrenchments-- 1 Our loss was heavy. The battle was severe but indecisive. . . , t The enemy is in a position that enable* hi*>i , t to cutoff our communication with Gen. John- 1 t ston. Rumors, good and bad, arc prevalent u here, hut we have nothing trustworthy Inter a than the above. . 8 The Second Rome Raid.?Tho Macon Tctcyra-ph thinks that the story of another move- ^ merit of 8000 Yankees against Rome, Ga., is nothing more than a cannnl. / The first use made of the now Confederate , flag in Richmond was to wrap the reinair s of N the departed chieftain Jackson. This fact alone t is sufficient to consecrate the newly adopted ' banner of the Confederates 4n the 1 carts of our brave soldiers and patriotic people. _ 4 The Killing of General Van Doru. 1 A gentleman just from Spring Hill, in Maury \ county, gives mc some particulars in regard to the death of Van Dorn. The facts ?are singn- ( larly tragic, and in time of peace would create r a national furore. The crowded condition of L the great war canvass, however, will distract I the public eye from the quiet, domestic ineio J drama. 1 . ! ? Since taking up his quarters in Spring liiil, j j Van Dorn has been upon terms o{" criminal in- ' a timacy with Mrs. Dr. Peters. She was a Miss ^ McKissiek?young, handsome and well educa- t ted. Her family is of the highest respecta- v bility, and of considerable wealth. The husband lias been one of the esteemed of citizens, an amiable man. n .r of tho State " Senate, and lunvv pla .tM-; . o '.er of Major Peters, Chief Quartenna . i, Con. Polk. The patr have been maniu. ?..! marriage on the part of the gentleman) for about five years. On the day of the occurrence Dr. Peters called upon Van Dorn and obtained a pass to go to Nashville. Van Dorn gave it readily, doubtless feeling glad to get rid of a disa greeablc and dangerous encumbrance. They t! were alone together in an upper room, and it r is supposed that Peters shot from the back of. Van Dorn's head, which was split in twain l?v the bullet. The report was not heard, however, 1 , and Peters mounted his horse, rode away, crossed onr lines with the pass previously o'o- c tained and entered Nashville. He has been? I learn, received with marks of distinguished "welcome. The body of Van Dorn was coffined and sent off for interment. Mrs. Peters has l returned to her own family. These arc the p facts hard and dry.? Correspondence Richmond 1 Enquirer. News of the attack on Charleston has been roceived in London.

At a meeting of the members of the " DeSaussure Light Artillery," held at Camp Gilbert, May 4th, 1863, Lieut. S. M. Richardson was called to the chair, and Sergeant 3. F, Rhame appointed Secretary. The chair- * man stated that the object of the meeting was to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of our deceased comrade in arms,'Corporal JULIUS J. COOPER, who departed this lifo at tho Ladies' Hospital, Columbia, S. C., on the 13th day of April last. I a On motion ot Liout. A A.
