Exactly as L had surmised—tor I had seen a specimen of his fierce temper and reckless- ness—he came stumping andeursing;ind juamp- ing from the car on to the tender, he drew a pistol, and cried out, “Where is that cursed en- gimeer, that did this pretty job? I'll shoot him the minute I lay eyes on him.” I threw up my six-shooter so that the light of the lantern shone upon it, while he could see but indistinctly, if at all, and said with delibe- ration, “Colonel Williams, if you raise your pistol you are a dead man; don’t stir, but listen tome.

He did so, and came forward, and I explained the impossibility of seeing the train sooner, as I had no head light; and they had carelessly ne- glected to leave a light on the Tear of the other train. I advised the choleric colonel to go for- ward and eapene his wrath and curees on the conductor of the forward train,that had stopped in such @ place, and sent out no signal man in the rear, nor even leftared light. He aeknowl- edged I was right. I then informed him that L ‘was an officer in the ordnance department, and was in charge of a shipment of ainmunition for Bowling Green, and would have him court- martialed when we reached there, unless he apologized for the threats he had made, This | information had a calming effect on the colonel, who at heart was really a clever fellow. FROM Ceeae aoe DEPART- | The Attack on Penchitoula, Headquarters of Jeff. Thompson. The account of the attack on Ponchitoula, La., has been received at the War Departinent. On the morning of September 15th, Acting General Geo. C. Strong, embarked at New Or- Jeans, the object being to surprise the village of Ponchitoula, the headquarters of the Rebel General Jeft mpson, forty-eight miles north of the city, on the line of the Jackson Railroad. To that end, the New London was to land her men at Manchac bridge, whence, atday-break next morning, they were to drive the ei y that might be found there northward to Pon- chitoula, while the remainder of the force, having found thé way fifieen miles up the Taugipahga ‘in ‘the night, were to laud and Mareh six miles westward, tnd chpture Pou- chitoula in Season to secure those of theenemy who had been driven up from Pass Manch:c. The attempt at surprise failed, for not only Was the New London unable to get over the bar into Manche Pass in the darkneéss, but the Ceres, too large for the easy navigation of the narrow and winding each of the two succeeding nights to reach her. destination on that river im sedson to admit of our gaining Pouchitoula before daylight. He therefore went on the Ceres to Manchac bridge, and from that point Capt. Winfer was sent with his company southward to make the destruction of the railroad on Manchae Island complete, which duty he thoroughly performed. The rebels having received notice of tbe ap- proach of the Federals, the latter were met on entering Ponchitoula by a discharge of cannis- ter, at seyenty yards, froni a light be charging which Cap:.

From these positions the Federals poured in fo deliberate and destructive a fire that the enemy Was driven from the field, the artillery galloping away, followed by the infautry, on a roud through the forest, in a northwesterly di- tection. Our forces then set fire to 2 train of upwards of twenty cars laden with sugar, mo- lasses, cotton, etc., and took the papers from the post and telegraph offices, destroying the appa- ratus im the latter, and Jeff. Thompson's sword, spurs, bridle, ete., from hix quarters in the hotel. The sword was presented to the so- called “Memphis Patriots.” A written document was obtained which showed the rebel force at that point to consist of three hundred troops of the 1th Arkansas gimeut, one company of the Home Guard, und one company of artillery with six pieces. The return trom Ponchitoula was necessarily along the railroad, through a swamp, and on which there is no cover fort and it was therefore impossible to bring off those of our men Who were mostseverely wounded, asthey would be exposed fora long distance to the fire of the rebel artiilery, which, with the horses attached, would be brought baok upon the line of the road as soon as we should have Jeit the village. FROM THE REBEL ARMY. Statement of a Refugee. From an Englishman named John Clay, who came into the Federal lines at Williamsport, Md., on the evening of October 2d, the corres- pondent of the Baltimore American obtains the following particulars: Jobn Floyd promised Clay a pass into the United Staies if he would superintend the erec- tion of 2 dying establishment.

This pass, which was f shed him, is printed on mon brown paper, and passed the bearer to Winchester. This pass he recetved on Friday inorning, Sepr. d the next morning started for Staunton, on a train containing five hun- dred conscripts. He was there told thai there were eighteen hundred Confederate States sol- diers im the hospitals of the place. Charlotte from two to three thou ton was so full of soldiers that he could not pro- cure any bed, and only slept in the hotel parlor by paying dearly for its accommodation.

The telegraph informs us that Corinth, like Manassas, has a second time been made histo- ric by a grand battle. The following corres- pondence, fran Gen. Rosecrans’s army, writ- len before the battle took place, shows what prepuration= had been made to meet it: { From the Chicago Tribune, October 4.)

Gordon Granger, leaving Gen. Rose- erins with only about 40,000 effective men with which to protect our railroad communications on some seventy or eighty miles of road, and the adyanéed line of our pickets. When Price was driven from Iuka on the 19th and 20th, he marched hastily south to Bay Spring» the first day, thence via Marietta and Falton io Tupelo—his old entrenched camp— and thence he has marched northwest to. Rip- ys where he was joined by the forces of Van rm. The combined forces are now about twenty- five miles from this ce, upon Which they are supposed to be making a forced march by the way of Jonesboro’ and Pocahontas and Cher- walla, (the lust two on the Memphis and Charleston railroad.) with a strong column by the way of Kossuth. Igis no doubt known tothe Rebel rals that the army of the Mississippi had re- uneed for the ‘purpose of strengthening Buell in Kentucky, and Wright at Cincinnati, that Rosecraus’ effective force did not exe 14,000. They knew also that Generals Wricht and Ord had gone to Juc ph, Tenn. with a Jarge force trom here, and they think Ro-ecra and Corinth, with its large, well-tilled’s houses, are easy prey. But what they di know is that the command ef General crans has n reinforced by two fine diy of the army of West Tennessee, and instead of 18,000 they will tind a thoronghly effectivearmy of oyer —— thousand, with a large pre tion of fine artillery, and well entrenched. No doubt our pickets have been already o od with their advance guard. sf Lenclose you a map of the four noriifeastern counties of Mississippi, which will enable you to comprehend better the past, present and fa- ture movements of Gen, Roseerans’ army; and you may be sure that Gen. Rosecrans will keep it moving and fighting, if he is permitted to do so. There wilt bea fight or a foot race with a few days: for if the enemy do no! attack us, We certainly will strike at him.
