Washington, Nov. 30.—Special dispatch
to the New York Times says: “I think 1 have
sufficient authority for explicitly denying the
statement that the army on the Potomac
would go into winter quarters within the
lines of present encampments or entrench
ments. No such purpose is entertained by
government, and no such suggestion has been
made by Gen. McClellan. Within a fort
night active preparation has been greater
than for any time during the past two mouths.
Of course an army is to remain in and around
Washington to defend the capitol, and doubt
less a large camp of instruction for men and
horses this winter. Barracks will also be
provided.” Our correspondent speaks of
seeking out iincoinpetent officers; and says
the advantage the South has had over us is
in their superior regimental and company of
ficers. We are tepairing this matter slowly,
but at the same time all who are deserving
promotion from the ranks are certain to re
ceive it in due time.

Memphis, Nov. 8.—We learn from passen
gers who arrived this morning from Colum
bus, something further in regard to the great
battie fought there yesterday. Fight occurred
on the Missouri shore, and not at Mayfield
Creek, as we supposed.
Gen. Pillow’s brigade, 2501 strong, compos
ed of Tappan, Russel, Wright’s and Pickett’s
Regiment had crossed the river, purposes of
which not advised, and encountered the ene
my, seven thousand strong, not far above Col
umbus. This brigade not anticipating so heavy
an attack, were poorly supplied with am nu
tation. They were attacked by a full force of
the enemy, and fought gallantly until theii
ammunition was exhausted. They were then
overwhelmed and driven back with great loss
to every verge on the river, where they again
made a stand—fighting with their bayonets.
At this time Gen. Cheatham’s brigade was
sent over, and with assistance of Gen. Polk’s
small command, Smith’s Ter nessee Regiment,
and Blythe’s Regiment, carried the fortunes
of the day.
John G. Finnie, of this city, severely wound
ed. His jaw badly mutilated by a shell. Capt
Suffarans killed.
Correspondent of the Appeal from Chum
bus, p. m., says-1 have just returned from the
battle field, and I’m too much fatigued to give
you a detailed account of the great gtoriou
vLtory we have achieved here to-dav. Defeat
of the enemv overwhelming and disastrous;
leaving the field strewn with their dead and
wounded, say nothing of overcoats, knapsacks,
guns, &c-, they threw aside better to facilitate
their inglorious flight. We pursued them 7
miles to their boats, where we captured large
quantities of ammunition. The gallant 154th
Regiment charged up to within fifty yards of
the boats on which they embarked, under a
most terrific cannonade from their gunboats,
which fortunately over shot our men. doing
them no damage whatever, with the exception
of Col. Smith, having his horse shot from
iiiiuui iii.u. ijiiriiiica um;r.> iu>i iuvn,/, aim
was commanded by Gen. McClernand, in per
son, assisted by Gen. Bowling, wbo is amongst
the prisoners. Gen. Bowling was captured by
Rev. James Rogers, of Somerville, who at the
same time captured a stand of colors. Col.
Dougherty is also a prisoner, and Col. B mil
fort, who came down with a flag of truce, the
other day from Cairo, is amongst the slain,
and several others of their field officers a:e’
either killed or wounded. Our forces actively
engaged at first consisted of the 13th Term.,
volunteers, commanded by Col. J. V. Wright;
22d by Col. Thus. J. Freeman; 2d by Col. J.
Knox Walker; 2lst by Col. Pickett and Col.
Tappan I3tli Arkansas Regiment. These four
Regiments making, in all. about 2500 effective
men, who bore up most gallantly against three
to one, for more than two hours.
Gen. Pillow had chief command, and de
serves all praise for doing some of the most
desperate lighting ever done on this continent.
Gen. Cheatham, however, when our men had
been beaten back with loss, ordered Capt
Watson’s battery carried over, Col. Russell’s
9th Tenn., regimeni; Col. Marks’ ll'h La.;
Col. Smith’s 154th Tenn., retook the battery,
carried death and destruction among the ene
my everywhere. The 4th commanded by
Lieut. Col. O. P. Strahl, was also ordered
over, but was held in reserve arid did not ac
tively engage in the fight. This was owing
to a simultaneous attack made on the batte
ries by the gun-boats, as well as the appre
hension that a land force was moving on us
from the Kentucky side. A portion of this
regiment, however, was detailed to bring in
the wounded of the Lincolnites, who were
left on the field. A great number were thus
taken up and cared for. The men are just
rrow returning to encampment. The scene is
a sad spectacle enough by moonlight, and
low much worse it will be in daylight, 1 can
rot tell. Our loss is considerab g the lieavi
;st being sustained by the four reg merits first
sngaged. Capt. J. Welby Armstiong, 2d re
jiment, was killed, and Capt. Saffarrans mor- |
:a 11 y wounded. No other commissioned offi
:ers, except Lieut. Walker, either killed or i
wounded. Lieut. Welker’s wound not con- I
sidered dangerous. Capt. Taylor, Pickett’s <
regiment, and Capt. Win. Jackson, of Jack- 1
son’s battery, are both dangerously wounded, t
Capt. Burton’s company, 13th regiment, was i
literally cut to pieces, Lieut. Ray being killed. (
IVe have lost few other commissioned officers, t
rat I am unable to learn their names to-night. \
Our total less, killed, wounded and missing r
Till amount to 150, while that of the enemy, 11
killed, wounded and prisoners amounts to:
500 to 800, at least. We also captured sev- |
eral wagons, two stand of colors, and some j
pieces artillery. The battle lasted nearly alt
day and was terrific throughout.
FROM GEORGIA.
Savannah, Nov. 7.—Steamer Resolute of I
Corifedera’e fleet came up at 11 o’clock last *
night, to coal. She brought correct particu- I
lars of operations at Port Royal, to date. It ■
appears that the report of disabled steamer .
and another being aground, is incorrect.— j
Monday afternoon Tatnall with his little fleet. ^
went within a mile of the federal squadron

three-quarters of a mile from Port, when a
fierce fight of thirty minutes ensued, throwing
rifle-shot and shell, which fell about enemy

Savannah without serious damage to vessel.
Nobody on board injured. Seven shot from
our fleet took effect in federal vessels. Pas
