The Banner was formerly published at Mur- freesboro, while that little city was iu the possession of the rebel army. But upon the retirement of its patrons and supporters to the ‘‘line of Duck river” the Rebel Banner also retired. It now comes to hand in a strange dress, of old, broad faced, worn out type, but upon the same brown paper of “fine wrapping” quality. It bas, however, much of interest in it,and that interest 1 ex punge for our benefit. Owing to tho scarcity of these elegant little sheets | am comspelied tg copy the items and Feturn the papers to the owner. It appears that General” McCook, at the late battle of Murfreesboro, net enly lost his baggage, as at Perryville, Dut also all his most important papers. The Reel Barner has been allowed the privilege of looking over these, and Dew gives to the world eertain extracts from the corres- pondence of that officer. From among the number thus published I have extracted two letters which bear upov the eame subject, and which tarow considerable light ‘upon the Buell investigation—a subject on which the pub- lic are but Nttle informed. You will find them highly amusing and entertaining. -One of them ts from Daniel McCook, Sr., the father of Major General MoCook, and is dated Columbus, Obio, November 32,1862. He says:— “You, no donbt, see by tlie papers that the question whether Buell was at fault at Perryville or not is still ‘under discussion. Let Mr. Buell and hie friends say what they please, und let the Louisville Journal continue in bis defence as long a8 Father Prentice is able to wield a pen, there is but one prevailing opinion in the mouthe of every | man end woman, and that is that bo was wilfully and wickedly guilty of a great misdemeanor , for which, if be was put before a jury of his countrymen, he would be condemned and shot as the mildest ible mode of punishment. Thousands believe jm to be @ traitor and that he desired your troops to be either cut w pieces or captured. Al- though I think he is jargeiy interested in the welfare of | the South, aud would have no objections to see the South- | ern confederacy firmly established, | do not think be isa | traitor and would sell his country; but his conduct in re. | fusing to furnish you with the necessary supports in your great extremity is most maryollous jndeed, and a great | and wanton neglect that he can never explaiu away. And ‘that infamous Gilbert ts more worthy of death than the coward Colonel Taylor, who was very unwisely permitted to resign.” General Gilbert, at Perryville, commanded the contre | corpa, nnd Colonel Taylor, of the Hiftieth Ohio, was dis- | graced by Gilbert for cowardice diplayed ia the face of | the enemy. M continues — “We have great caure for thankfalness to Almighty God for the ation of your ife,end qhat your litle di Vision was Dot eptirely destroyed and taken prisoners, when, if Buell had advanced, when you made your per: sonal visit to him, he would have obtained a decided vie- | tory,and his tempics would have been adorned with | | wreaths of honor and glory instead of the disgrace which | | now surrounds them. | | “General Lytie (W.
