FROM TE**KMMI.E.An Interesting Story?The Late DefM?Faith in

the Success of our Cause.

[00BRBB_ OHDBHCB or TBB BICBBOBD DISPATCB ]

Krotvit.il, Trnb., Jan. 30, 16«2I yesterday conversed with a young man

in the Oeneral Hospital at this placo, whosestory Is Interesting. His name is W. LKichardson; he is a native of Choctaw eonn-ty, Mississippi he waseighteen years old tbeSih of last September. Some two years agobe left, home and proceeded to St. Lonis toengage in tbe service of a fur company, andgo on an expedition to the Eoeky MountainsFailing in this, he went up into Minnesota]and settled near St. Paul. When the presentwar broke out he started back to MississippiArrivingatSt Joseph, Missruri, he was aa?*>>le to g*t further; he volunteeted in t* cNorthern srmy, expecting 'o be sent to Forismith, Arkansas, aud in fending to desertfrom tn.t place nud mia-e his w.<y to Mississippi. He was attached to tbe '-Id Missiumrwgimenf, ttol Martin, lnstsad of going toFort Smith, tbis regiment was ordered, vi*Coluniuui*, obio, to Western Virginia, andformed partot tne command ol Oeu. B.se-erins

Het_ys be was in tbe battle of ttarnafaxFerry, or Uauley Cliffy, as it is called ty theFederals. I questioned him particularlyiibout this engagementand Its results to theLincoln army. He affirmed thatJtosscraajlost eighteen hundred allied in the r-attle.He said many plticed it at twenty.two bun-dred, but the common estimate was theformer number. I luterrosated him two orthree times on this point, and he was distinctand emphatic in making the abovestatemen f .

1 then Inquired how many were wouudeuTHe siid tbe number was very large?thattroin that point burg to Charleston, a dis-tance of thirty miles, every house along theroad was lilled with the wounded,, peoplebeing .urned out ol doors to make room forthem.Yon may estimate these statements atwhatyou think they are worth. If I remember,the Dispatch at one time expressed an opinionthat the Federal loss in tbat battle was vastl ,greater than reported and commonly believedto be. In the table publishedivyour columnsa few dajs ago, their killed are put down atUa, and wounded at 2.">0. Their aggregate10-ses duringthe war are flgure.i np at 4,825killed in battle, and 7,614 wounded. Where-as the New Yorg Times places their losses atll.tKKt billed, and iT_ooo wounded. The obvi-ous inference is* that in many instances wehave greatly under-estimated tbe numberwhich they have lost.This young man sold Bosecrans had inthat expedition eighteen regiments, and thathe employed -»lev.v of them lv the aitack onFloyd's areas. He says they advanced sevenlimes against the latter* breastwork?, andthat, being stationed on tbe sloe of U-auleymountain, on Kosecrans's left, be witnessedlive ol the charges.. Alter the firing ssased.the Federal Oeneiiil retlredabjutfour nil e6,ami sent a force of several regiments to goround (Jauley mountain, by old Mr Oooseberry's, and come down the river, uponFloyd's rear. Tho distance to be gone overwas about 11 miles; but before they could ac-complish the march, Floyd was gone. Theday after tbe battle, he was within Floyd'sevacuated fortification, but saw no blood, ortraces ofmen having beenkilled aid WoundedThe breastwork, aoont six hundred yards inlength, Te.iched from (fauley river acr. ss abottom to Q-auley mountain, on the rightHe admired the position very much, and alsothe militarycharacter of Oen. l-layd, whombo considered more than a matcb for Rosecrans. Beferring to him. he siid, "I wonldlike to bs nnder that man. I would be wil-ling to light under him as long as the warlasts. 1 would as soon risk him as any oftbem." A siinilv feeling, 1 iind, prevailswith tbe volunteers encamped here. Theythink Floyd would be the man to retrievetbe Fishing creek disaster, repnlse the ad-vance otttie Federalists in to Bast Tennesseeand leatl our forces to victory.

The young Mis-sissippian, after an unsuc-cessful effort to desert, tucc»ededon a secondtrial. He nude his way through South vrext-ern Virginia into Tennessee, was arrestedand taken to Cumbetltnd Oap, then broughtto this place. He soon enlisted as a recruitfor acompany in tbe barbor of Charleston,S. O The day before he was to start be wisattacked witb typhoid fever, from which hois just recovered. When fully able, he willjoiahis company.

Wltfi reference to the recent defeat in Ken-tucky, everybody deploies it, but the puolicmind baa quieted and resnrced a tone of con-fidence All accounts, both Southern andNorthern, agree onr menfought well Thosewho left the ranks ami dispersed after <io_-lng tbe river are being collected together andsent back to rejoin their communis Withable \u25a0 eneralt-hip. thorough, effective drilliugand discipline,efficient men in the Uu-irter-inusterand Commissary Departments,sobrie-ty and temperance among officers and privates, and the help of Ood, our forces willbe invincible and victorious. a.

j>r_ClA_ COBBBSPOHOBBCI OF THE DISPATCH.]

BrsstxLviiLi, Kr., Jan. 57,1602.Russell vlile, situated in "a low, green val-

ley," twenty-eight miles from BawlingGreen, and two hundred and thirty milesfrom Memphis, by railway, Is a town con-taining three thousand Inhabitants, andnoted as the place where tbe ProvisionalGovernment »vas pnt on its legs. For tbepresent, it is the beidquarters of GeneralsEbiyd and Bnckner. There is a large armyhere, the tents being pitched for miles alongthe rnilroad, which touches thewestern partof the town. As in other localities Wheretroops have been massed, there is a perfectequee/e here, all tbe available space in thehotels and private house* being fullyappro-priated But notwithstanding the absenceof comfort, one feels more at home in Russell-ville than in Bowling Green. In the latter,the people are cool in their treatment ofSouthern soldiers, or at best, only tolerablytcllte and attentive. The truth is, that be-fore Gen. Jihiisons army went to BowlingGreen tbe bulk of the inhabitants sympa-thized witb the Union cause of Lincoln. Apoweifulreaction nas taken place within tbelast two months, and those who still cling totbe "flesh pots of Egypt" are as mute asparticular mice. The ladies, Ood bless tbem,are outspoken for the South. Here, ourfriends are not few or far between. Theyspeak out and act out manfully. Hencethere is a feeling among the soldiers thatthey are in tbe midst of tbe best and thebravest of Kentuckians.

There areplentyof the very finest artilleryhere tbat are ln tbe service?plenty of thebest borses?plenty of soldiers to whip twicetheir number of "Yanks"?plenty to eat andwear. The mules that pull the transporta-tion wagons are, beyond all doubt, unequal-led by any tn the Southern array.I give you tbe result of the election formembers of Oongress, as far Is now known.U »pt. Robert J. Breckinridge, son of thePresbyterian minister vtho thinks tbat wo-men and children ought to be butcbered ifnecessary to crush tbe rebellion, is elected intbe Ashland District. He is a gallant gen-

tleman,and will take a highstand in Con-gress. The two Hruces are elected in theseventh and ninth districts. Boyd is electedin the first and Crockett in the second. Inthe third, it is doubtful between Hawes andBead. Ia tbe fourth, Earing is elected by alarge majority, and Burnett gets tbe returnIn tbe filth, byan overwhelmingvote. Tbedelegation is regarded as an able one, and Itwill faithfullyrefiect the will of the State-nithts people of "Old Kentuck."

Yesterday was spent by Generals Floydand Buckner inreviewing troops. The dis-play was Imposing,and the Oeneral in com-mand wis well pleased with tbe thorougbtraining and preparation for marching oitbe variousbrigades. TheSecoi d Kentuckywas the observed ofall observers. Composedchiefly of the old Kentucky State Ouard,and commanded by Col. Hanson, a most capItal officer and brave mast, tbe regimentevinced a proficiency in drill.and a soldierlybearing wbich would reflect credit upon theveteran regiments of France. Gen. Floydwas evidentlygreatly gratified b> their ap-pearance as they passed in review. ColonelHanson will make a figure with his regi-ment wherever he engages the enemy. Markthat!

When we will leave this place, is unknownto me. I get no Dispatch, and hear nothingfromVirginia except through the Nashvillepapers. The election of Mr. Hunter to tbeSenate gives great satisfaction, as does alsothat of Mr. Preston. Since the death of Mr.Tyler, the impression is universal thatHon. Trios. S. Bocock will be elected Speakerof tbe House without serious opposition.?His elevation to a post for which he Is so ex-cellently well qualified will be a suitablerecognition of the consistent record of Mr.Bocock,and an appropriate tribute to Vir-ginia, whose sacrifices for this war are al-ready matters of hls'ory.

Without intending any disparagement tothe talents of either Mr. Lyons or Mr. Mac-farland, (the defeated candidates at the lastelection,) 1 will call attention to the meagrevote received by those gentlemen as an evi-dence of their strength wltb the people. ,With this view of the case, and at the earnestsolicitation of many true friends, wbo havestood by me In good and evil report, I bereby 1announce myself a candidate for Congress jIn this limited space, It will be impossible ,for me to fully present my views upon themomentous questions and events that nowagitate the publicmind; expecting, as I do, to ipresent myself to tbe voters of the districtat the various court-bonses and camps, Ishall content myself at present by briefly 'stating my position.

Firstly ?1 am in favor of an offbhpivktv_a, carrying it to the very hearth-stones of ,our enemies, asking nor giving quarter tonone, dealing our blows thick and fast, untilthe Yankee nation shall cry " Hold, enough." ">

FROM rtOKFOI.ftc.Runaway Negroes?'?Bohemian" Gone to North

Carolina?The News, <Ye.[special cobbbsposdbbcs or thb dispatch.

Nobpolk, Feb. 3, 1662.I learn that more slaves effected their es

cape last weeK from Norfolk county. Tfieybelong to farmers residing on or near Tan-ner'screck. They doubtless get offat nightIn boats sufficiently large to cross the Roadsand land tbem at or near Fortress Monroe.The loss ot valuable negro men falls heavilyupon the gentlemanlyand kind-hearted farmere and gardeners In th* section of tbecounty above mentioned, and prompt andjudiciousmeasures should at once be takento prevent slaves from getting off by waterto tbe forts and vessels of the commonsnemy.

The deluded negroes, thus leaving tbeirbest friends and comfortable homes, wheretbey are fed, clothed, and allowed nil reasonable privileges, vainly suppose that theywill fare better, and be more favorably situ-ated, under the protection of the Yankees,than at home, where they have been rearedand provided for. And notwithstandingthereliable statements relative to the strict rulesto which they bave to submit, and the rigidand inhospitabletreatment tbey receive aftertbey get within tbe enemy's lines, it is be-lieved that these stampedes will continueunless a thorough look-out be kept along theshors, and especially near the moutba ofTanner's and Mason's creeks.

Considering tbe fact that some of the ne-gro men wbo have gone off to Old Point wereheld in high estimation by tbeir Indulgentowners, wbo, in some cases, placed great con-fidence in their fidelity, ana that negroes ar*not apt to originate or to form among them-selves any well-devised plan or carefully-concerted movement, it ls not Improbabletbat their credulous minds bave been poi-soned, and that they have been prompted andadvised by abolition traitors wbo have com-tminlcated with them, and who are acting inconcert with seme of the fanatics connectedwith theFederal forces at Old Point or elsewhere.

Your gentlemanlyand talented correspond-ent "Bohemian," left our city yesterday morn-ing for North Carolina, havingtaken passagsln a steamer that will go up the {southernbranch of the Elizabeth, and through the Al-bemarle and Chesaoeake Caral, thence outInto the sounds of the Old North State. Itisprobable that he will visit some prominentpoints, from wbich you will no donbt receivesome interesting and judicious letters rela-tive to tbe movements ot the enemy, besidessome well written descriptive sketches of thesection of Rorth Carolina now menaced bythe Yankee lorces that arestriving to "possessthe land."

We have no late news here from the NorthCarolina coast. What 1 know of onr armymovementsrelative thereto, I will no;staw*.It is not improbable that the enemy willshortly attack Boanoke Island, and if suc-cessful, which ls by no means certain, anattemptwill be msde to take possession ofElisibetb Oity, and other small towns onthe sounds and rivers, it is also b*U*v«*dbysome persona that Bare side's intention Is,it possible, to concentrate a large force inthe aeighbsrhood of Elizabeth Oity, andthence march towards Norfolk for thspurpose of an attack in ths rear. Thla,however, ia very doubtful; ana it* ia pro-bable That* the crippled fleet, with all Ueshivering Hessian troops, will accomplishbat little more thaa the stealing of a fewnegroes, and the plunderingat unprotectedpoints of the barns, smoke-houses, and hen-roosts, of the thrifty farmers in the produc-tive sec ion of Carolina, which tbsy are soanxiouslyhopingto possess, wtthoat sert /asInterruption. Tbat they will have a hardroad to'ravel fin gaining any decisive Tie-tory, is perfectly evident to all who know thecharacter and spirit of the people of thatregion, and especially ths man of andactioa who conmsnds our brave troops oetasse sd.Tlaow fsll here this aioruiaf tor aboat twoknars, aad then chshtsd te Mia, ths wtadhkrwiag ft** the Bast, eatBet heavily

There ts but little newe from the camps inthis county. There is but little sickness, andall are in buoyant spirits. General nols'ouis winning golden, opinions from all withwhom he comes ln contact. Young Crow-der, committed »or the murder of his com-rade, Sturdivant, at Camp Pemberton, is injail here awaitingfurther trial.

As an excep-ion to the almost extraordi-nary good health of the companies from thiscouuty, 1regret to learn that Capt. Barnesh»s lost six of bis men since tbe commence-ment of the new year, and that many oth?rcases of sickness still exist in their ranks.To such an extent, indeed, has their h«altUbeen impaired, by the unusual araouat ofduty they have performed at an ex-io«»ed anddisagreeable pos , that efforts are beiigmade to obtain a furloughfor the entire com-mand, to enable them to recuperate theirwasted eneigies. Another draftof tne nulltia for local purposes was made in thiscounty a few days .-inc<». Since then a stam-pede of negroes from the vioiuty ot Chueka-tuck has made the aecesstty ot these draftseven moreapparent thaa before.
