The attempt was made about 5 o'clock A ( M, At the two former places they were repulsed with great slaughter by our sharp-shooters, who, from the defences of their rifle pits, poured a galling fire into the) ranks of tharenemy, who fell back in confusion, after having sustained a heavy loes. i : Oi4r loss is reported to be only 8 killed and t5 wounded.

The expedition is to be under , the command of Major General McCleraand, who is now at that point, giving his personal superintendence to the armament and equipment of the forces, and tak ing: all the necessary steps to insure its success. This correspondent states that the expedition will be ready to move by the 10th of December, and adds that the corps tfarmee of McClernand "will consist entirely of Western and Northwestern regiments. It will embrace ten regiments from Confederate I -Indiana, twelve regiments from Illinois, four reg iments from Iowa, four regiments from Wiscon- 'sin, two regiments from Minnesota, and some ten thousand troops, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, from the army now in Kentucky, probably a por tion of Gen.
