A more tude feusibie position than Beeeb Grove, it is said, condi hard ly de imagined as jong a# an enemy was in froat, Mil Spring could have beon better defended; bui even (bere, entire absence of facilities for supplies from the rear, and the stop) of commupication with Nushyille by the river, would have compelled ap advance at ® Yory early date, or a retregrade movement, von had wo cue my been threatening. A movement of one kind or the other was # military necessity. Amid these unpleasant tacts word was brought to Geu, Crittenden of ap advance by the enemy—say of eight to ten thousand men—from Golumbia, aid of a large force from Somerset, evidently with a view to storm our in- trenchments. ‘The result may be imagined had this buen Attempted; for we were without suitable meavs of Wane. portation across the river, and all avenues of retreat could have been effectually cutoff by the enemy croes- ing above and below Mill Spring. Genera) Crittenden is stated to have had but three courses to pursie—to as once fall back ingloriously, and retreat without a biow: ‘to stay still and be stormed out, aud surrender whenever an enemy approached—or be starved out and surrender within a woek; or else to make an advance movement into Kentucky. ‘The entire army at Mill Spring had been reduced to imple ration of beef and a ration of corh, the latter eaten as parched corn, and not issued as Under These ‘ese circumstances, aud with the report of the advance movement of the enemy, both from Columbia ‘and from Somerset, a council of war was held on Satur- day evening, January 18. With five thousand brave men bebiod them the couveil of war thonght that they could drive before them twice that number of Narthesn hirelinge. The counct! is positively sailto have been unanimous in its decision. Both jer generals, all the colonels, and the captains of artillery and intopend- t companies viewed the matter in the same light. The alternatives presented were an inglorieus retrest with- outs blow; an impracticable defence of intrenckments, onding it & surrender; or ah eventual starving out, with a sitmilar result. At twelve o'clock at night onr columns moved, and marched ten miles before break of day. There they met the cnemy, drove them back half a mile, thee times charged them, aud as often swept their adversaries from the Geld. We brought into action less than four thousand mes. Almost one-half of the Fifteenth Mis- sissippi regiment—commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Py ©, Waltball—fel] upon the bloody field. Over two bun- dred of the four hundred and forty the Fifteenth brought into action feli in battle, Isis said that thie gallant regiment fought with the enemy almost at ten paces: and, for fifty yards in their onward charge, had to walk over the dead bodies of Yankees. ‘The battle is said to have been turned by the untimely jnforcement of the federal troops. Instead of sen rogi ments opposed to us, we had to fight nearly thirteen, and that with only seven regiments on our side, and these ro: duced to one-half their ordinary size. One reliable fresh regiment at the turn of the fight might have securad for us the battle, and broke effectually the ene:iy’s recruited ranks. AS it was, regiment after regiment of the enemy ed into the field. 1¢ was not until the breaking of our cavalry, communicating & false alarm to some of the Tennessee troops, and the pouring in of fresh regiments of the enemy, that a retreat was made, nor was it or dered by the General commanding. The retreat was made in good order, and ly thres o'clock in the afternoon our army was inside ite tpt: euch Immediately a severe camnonading was con: uced by the enemy, making it evident that their su periorily of guns conid eventually drive our forces from their camp. Between dusk and dawn our entire army war taken across the river, with the loss merely of the artillery, aud worn out tents and camp equipage. Loug delve the enemy dreamed of the evacuation, our forcesdad gained an available point to resist any ovward move. ment of theirs. The abandonment of ibe artillery was a necessity. The approaches to the river on Voth sides were very high and precipitous; the roads almost belly deep in mud to a horse, and the conveyance of the guus across would have exhausted hours and means impera- tively demanded for the men. ‘The army camped on Monday night two miles beyond Monticelio, the sick and wounded having been seut on before.

Our informant is satisfled that Genexal Crittenden was placed in an emergency of difficult choice, and that the ‘attle, however disastrous, saved his command from the alteraative of surrender or a fate of equal severity. From the Frankfort (Ky.) Yeoman, Feb. 4) We have read a letter written by a gentleman a!

There was a misapprehension iu ve- gard tothe wumbers of the federal troops, what the rebels supposed to be about 1,590 men turned out to be about 7,000 of $,000—the rebels numbering between 4,000 and 5,000, We give this information chietty to cor: rect What appears to be afalsenood in regard to General Crittenden agement. al Zollieoffer, according to the report of Dr. C1 Mord rece!

Further than this, cumber of professional gentlemet rkaters would for rome time previous to the appointe hour begin showing of what they could do, gathering large and crowded ringt of spectators around them, the effect of which wouid cause the ice tg orack and break in soformidable a manner that, asafew persons beching immersed, it wes deemed altogether unsafe to allow any such gathering for the grand object of the day, and it haq to be postponed, The competitors themselves were per fecily willing that the mateh should come off on the Sret fine day, when the ice might be in better condition, ant the giver of the prize hns agreed to advise, individually, ail those whosa names are down on his bovic, so that (here shall be no mistake, Imthe meantime the list will re- inain open at the ekating tent on the upper pond.

Further than this, spectators will, on the oveasion of the match, or any match indeed, have to keep ou the banks, or so far from the skaters that no danger can be apprehended from the breaking in of the ice. There is plenty of room on the banks, along the Drive, on the bridges and on the edge of the Rambie, so that all can see without every one gathering in a knot upon ® few hundred square feet of the ice.

A glance at the streets of the city at the present mo- ment is wel! calculated to exhibit ina striking manner the splendid way in which (be comtract syslem works in, this imrortant portion of the Union. Mud, slieh, asbes, garbage and street filth generally meet the eye iv what- ever part of the city you go; and mountains of anew, interspersed with numerous little pools of dirty water— the effect of thaws and rains—ornament the roads and obstruct the crossings, reuering locomotion, whether ob foot or otherwise, extremely difficult and Bazardous. ‘The condition of the city im this respect is on the very verge of intolerable. Indeed, it is marvellous, when everything is taken into consideration, how the people endore so quietly such outrageous mismanagement and wiful neglect of duty. Some months ago Mr, Hackley was awarded the contract for keeping the streci# clean, at bis own terms, which were of ‘most advantageous charucter, By a’ beautiful fiction of municipal legisia- tion this worthy is supposed to have discharged his duty faithfully, and bas regularly received his payments monthly, while it is a notorious fact that the streets have never been so ly neglected. ; at am investigation before a commitice the day, it transpired that, by the terms of the: | agreement the contractor is not required to clean the Streets at wil during the winter, which is the very por- | tion of the year when such service is most ae. Nevertheless Mr. Hackley draws bis money during the three months of winter just the same as at any other time, and the people of this city hemp leepmeaeret paying tothat gentleman a very large sum of bard cash abso Intely for doing nothing. It is no wonder, then, thas mur- Tours loud anc deep are heard on every side, and that the contrat is in the mouth of every second man you meet. The Aldermanic Street Committed have the subject Yefore them, and are making a show of virtuous ind! . tion, Dut the people haye seen too much of that humbug to be caught in the fing hepa ‘What is needed ie acts, not words. If the ley contract is #0 loosely drawn that its every clause can be violated with im- punity, steps onght to be Laker tocancel it without delay, ‘and a better contract and contractor substituted.

Yesterday there was no perceptible change in the condition of the patient. He rests and is copfi- dent of recovery. Although experience in such casew would indicate ap unfavorable result, still, in thie par- ticular case, wiere the physician in’ attendance ix not positive as to whether the knife penetrated the bee there is a chance of the patient’s recovery. That tko lade of the weapon penetrated a there does not appear to be any doubt; but that the snb- stance of the lung has been reached is not s0 certain. Should Mathews remain in his present easy condition a few days longer, and inflammation not set in, the probabilities are that a cure will be effected, The oase i ‘an interesting one in a medical point of view, aud excites the attention of the whole medical profession.
