The battle at Baton Bouge eommanced with a 1

Ba there was no welcome sound front the guns

quetles, Where can the Arkansas be 7" "Why
U she not here f and there came the unwilling
thought, has she failed us, and can all this dead
ly, terrible struggle have been for naught?
enad already driven the enemy one-and-a-half
miles from the position where he waa first encoun
tered. We had seized all his camp and forced
him through the suburbs tf the town. Then
came the last charee, and right nobly did our ex
hausted soldiers discharge their duty. Way
worn, covered with the dust, and consumed by
fheiheat of. battle, the gallant boys plunged head
long again into the fight, and before them fled
tbe lanaees. in vain did tney brine up their
reserves. We drove them all quite to the river,
completely under the protection of their gun
boats, many oi them taking to tne water. .
, It was then that General Breckinridge ordered
a recall. He had received a message that it would
be Impossible for the Arkansas to particioate then
in the engagement, but that, by two o'clock, she
could take feer part. Slowly and with reluctance
our troop fell back, although exposed to the
heavy firing of the gunboats. About one mile
aod a half from town they were halted, and the
poor.1 wearied, jaded fellows threw themselves
upon the ground to rest. . ,
The loss of the Arkansas and its cause are de
scribed in a letter to the Jackson Mississippian
Her .engines had broken down twice on her way
from iVicks burg to Baton Rouge. On Sunday
night, in five milesof the latter place, they again
gave put, and the crew were all mgbt mending
them.: The letter says : 1
The next morning, at eight o'clock, the lookouts
ashore reported the Yankee fleet coming up.
The ship was moored,', bead dawn stream, and
cleared for action, and in this copdition was de-
i ter mined to fight to the fast. At nine o'clock the
Essex came round the point and opened fire. At
this moment the engineers reported the engines
ready, and that they would last a half day.
The lines were cut and the Arkansas started for
thai Essex, with the intention of running her
downi She proceeded about three hundred yards
in the direction oi the Essex, aad the larboard
engine suddenly stopped. She then, makes for
the bank, her stern down, the Essex pouring a
not nre into ner. in tnis condition we : opened
fire with the stern. The Essex continued to ad
vanicejand when within four hundred yards the
crew of the Arkansas were ordered ashore and
; the vessel fired. After all hands were ashore the
Essex fired upon the disabled .vessel most furious
ly, i Id an hour after her, abandonment the fire
communicated to her magazines, and all that re
mained of the noble Arkansas was blown up
A, letter to the Mobile Tribune taji the popu
lar estimation of the power of this gunboat waa
entirely too much exaggerated. It adds :
She ran the gauntlet through tover thirty ves
sels of war, and thus by sheer audacity astound
ed the world by the brilliancy Of the feat. Bat
thej whole truth regarding this affair has never
foujhd its way to the public ear. Captain Brown,
who commanded the craft through this perilous
adventure, has since expressed tne belief that the
success of the enterprise was a mere miracle, and
that it could not be repeated with any hope of-a
similar result. The machinery of the Arkansas
is deficient and totally unsuited ia horse-power
to faer tonnage, which fact rendered her motions
haggish. This very sluggishness, strange as the
assertion may seem at first blush, saved her from
pursuit and perhaps destruction, i. The foe was
struck with consternation at what lie deemed the
slow and fearless majesty of her movements, and
attributed it all to the confidence with which she
was manipulated by ner commander, rather than
the) dangerous deficiency ef her mechanical con-

as near as we could get them :
John Roland, a conscript from North Carrol in a,

the services on account ot rheumatism, applied on
Thursday evening at the Second North' Carolina
Hospital for permission to remain ail nignt

he would die last night, tie next attacked Mr.
S. B. Bradley, one of the ward masters, cutting
three of his fingers nearlv off. After this he
wounded a Mr. Bruns, another nurse, but very
slightly, however. To finish the bloody tragedy,
he then stabbed himself near the heart, aud cut
his throat in two places, one of the wounds sever
ing the windpipe; alter wbjch he jumped out of
tne window, a distance ot some ten nr twelve ieei,
and expired in about twenty minutes. We learn
that Roland behaved very well during the night
and yesterday morning nothing in his appearance
or action indicating that anything was the matter
with him. All ol a sudden a ht of desperation seem

COUNTERFEIT TREASURY NOTES.
For ten days past there has been a painful pan
ic in the money circles of this city, caused Dy a
flow upon the town of counterfeit twenty, fifty
and hundred dollar Confederate Treasury notes,
of superior design and finish. These notes found
their way into tne oroxer s omces, tne oanxs, ana
even into the Confederate Treasury itself. So se
rious has the evil become, that the Treasurer has
found it necessary,, with a view to the purging
of our currency, to call in all notes of the manulac
ture of Hoyer & Ludwig, cf the tlenominations
mentioned. The Treasurer's advertisement will
be found in another column. The spurious notes
have been traced to Atlanta Ga., from which
town, or neighborhood, they are belie vod to have
issued
The counterfeit notes are unlike the genuine in
manv resnects. but chief! v in that they are of
much superior workmanship. In every point of
d fference they have the advantage of Hoyer &
Lud wig's commodity. . The figures of animals are
distinct, and the etchings elegant; and it is mat
ter of wonder that men whoi could execute work
so superior to that for.which the Confederacy is
paying fortunes, should have betaken themselves
to the precarious and dangerous business of coun
terfeiting. Richmond Examiner.
