From tlie West. Tullahoma, May 26.?Tho Federals exiled Vallandigham under flag of truce yesterday. He was dropped by tlicm on neutral ground, immediately in front of our pickets at Fosterville. He is now at Shelbyville. A small party of the enemy advanced near McMinnville yesterday, but retired without ac- I complishing anything. From IV or til Carol ilia. IIaleiuii, May 2G.?The Progress' Kinstoii correspondent of the 24th says, that three thousand Yankees attack our pickets and three regiments at Gum Swamp, on Friday, and surprised and routed them. We had several wounded, and fifty to one hundred taken prisoner. We took eight prisoners. General llill forced ' the enemy back, and drove them to within eight miles of Newbern. The Colonel pnmnnndin^ - the Yankees reported killed. The enemy burnt the court house and other buildings at Trenton, Jones County, Friday, and robbed and plundered the citizens as they went. A Terriulk Calamity.?We regret to learn that the powder mill, located about fourteen miles from Charlotte, on the Catawba ltiver was blown up on Saturday morning, about 5> o'clock. The President, S. \Y. Davis, Esq, was not in the mill when the explosion took place. Five of the operatives were killed. The following is a list of the killed: Charles Ivluoppol. berg, Sup., John N. Lee, George Hutchison, Christopher Ounce, John Ochjer. It is imimsv.blo, to account for the accident. The mill . house is entirely destroyed, but the principal portion ot the machinery is uninjured. \Charlolte Bulletin. Arrival.?The Confederate steamship Gen. Beauregard, Captain L. M. Coxeter, arrived here yesterday from Nassau, which place she left on Tuesday evening last. The Beauregard was lired at fifteen times by the Yankee blockadors and one of them disclmigod Ins broadside, but . * i it did no harm. She brings the most valuable assortment of goods that has entered the port for some time. The steamship Orion and Sirius were left at Nassau, but have since arid red. The steamer Britannia from tiiiseity arrived their on Monday last. It is with much regret that we announce that Captain Coxeter retires from his ship with this trip, and that his valuable services as a shipmaster will be, for a period at least, lost to us. His health, which has been indifferent^ required that lie should remain ashore aud recruit, after passing through two years of intense excitement, first as commander of the l'rivatcer Jeti'orson Davis, and afterwards in the * steamers Antonica, (Herald) and Beauregard) (U avelock.) As the commander of an armed vesshl in the early stages of the war; his name was a terror to Yankee shipmasters, and the steamer which he has for sometime had charge ofhave been of great value in blinging into the country military supplies. On one occasion his ship came near being blown out of the water by the Yankee steam sloop of war Adirondack and lie has been frequeutly fired at more or less heavily; but has always passed the Lincoln blockade successfully-?Charleston Courier. Arrival.?The steamship Orion, Captain F. N. Bonneau, arrived on Friday night, having left Nassau on Wednesday. She was fired at by the Yankees off this harbor, but sustained no damage. The Orion is a beautiful vessel, and has every qualification necessary to make Incr a successful blockade runner. Captain Thomas Lockwood, formerly of the Kate, has arrived in Nassau in command oi'thc steamer Atlantic. The British steamer Flora, which had left KT *i i* ' 1 * pi assail, 11 was ieareci, n as been taken by a Yankee gun-boat, as she was chased, and firing was heard in the direction which she vrent. Wegare gratified, however, to report her safe arrival at Wilmington, after passing through another heavy fire off that port. | Charleston Courier, 2; 3r/. Another Arrlvitl. Charleston, May25.?The steamer Britannia' from Nassau, on the 21st, arrive .1 here last night. . The New York Herald says that "Figtarosdo not lie." Figures differ widely from tho Herald then. * A Curious Fact.?The Bermuda Mirror, of the 25th April, mentions the following truly remarkable fact: We call the attention of our readers to the curious fact that the latest intelligence which reached Bermuda from England at the date of the arrival of the Cornubia, was through the blockade (?) port of Wilmington, North Caro. Jina. This fact gives additional-iutcrcst to the eloquent speech of Mr. Laird, M. P., contained in the Richmond papers of the lGth inst., and published in our last, on the subject of the Alabama. Colonel Pettus, who was taken prisoner by the Yankees, and afterwards escaped, says the Yankee strength is between 40,000 and 50,000, distributed along the road from Port Gibson to Big Black, and commanded by Grant in person. Will/>? c? r> i ~ tunings, ixookv opnngs, and Uayuga, lie at intervals of seven miles apart, in a straight line parallel with Big Black, from which tlicy arc about four miles distant, while Bayou Pierre runs in their rear at a considerable less distance. Willow Springs is akput ten miles from Grand Gull,and Cayuga is about thirty-two miles Wcst-south-West from Jackson, and twelve miles from' the Southern Railroad at Edward's Depot and Big Black bridge. It will thus be seen that Grant occupies a position-very favorable to resisting an attack on his right, as forming front in that direction his flanks would rest up the two streams named; if worsted, lie can retreat upon Grand Gulf. At the same time, it is a very pretty line to cut in two, and if, while the fresh troops now arriving should attack his right, while the Yicksburg garrison threw themselves between Willow Springs-and Grand Gulf, Grant would be in an awkward place. The Losses at Fkedkuu^sbuku.?In view of the character and numbers of the two armies engaged in the recent battles on the Rappahannock, we estimated, a short time since, that the Union losses could not have been less than 25, 000 men. Our judgement has been continue^ by all the authentic facts which have come to light. It is admitted ollicially that 7,000 Union prisoners have been released from Richmond, and the following from the Washington correspondent of the Commercial Au'eerfiscr tells of the killed and wounded: "Tim oldest and most experienced news monger are just now completely at fault, and are unable to pick the golden threads of truth from the tangled web of military gossip. Certain it is that the Armv of the Potomac lias lost a large number of 4|)iisonors and missing'-?that its dead and woended exceed 23, 000?that it left on the Southern bank of the Kappahannock twenty-four pieces of, artillery, with a large quantity of arms and ammunition, and that a majority qf its general officers desire a new commander." This would foot up the total loss at not less, than 30,000, a very different result from the "10,000'' report of General Hooker, but not less likelv on that account to bo true.
