force is variously estimated from 25,000 to 40,000 
men,—probably 30,000 is a lair estimate. Some of 
the regiments are well armed with Springfield and 
Enfield muskets, while some of them have only 
shot-guns. There are not many 60 days men in 
Columbus, but mainly troops enlisted for the war. 
It will be seen by thi* sketch that it is no trifling 
job which Com. Foote and Gen. Grant have on their 
hands. If an attack is made, there will be serious 
work. Com. Foote is extremely anxious to obtain 
the mortars which have been promised him again 
and again, but none of them have been received. 
The thirty-eight boats prepared for them are lying 
at the levee in Cairo. Let it be remembered that 
those batteries on the bluff will be entirely out of 
the reach of our gun-boats in close action. But 
with those thirty-eight mortars, Commodore Foote 
and Captain Constable would produce a stampede 
surpassing that at Hilton Head. Without them, it 
may be feared that an attack will not dislodge the 
rebels from their strong position. 
Virginia, these forces were not accepted by the 
Secretary of War until the close of the term of their 
enlistment 
The total actual expenditures of the State of Ohio 
for military purposes to January 1, 1*62, are $2,- 
0*9.451.21, of which $1,212,134.45 were paid by the 
State out of its own funds, and the balance, $877,- 
316.76, was paid out of moneys received from the 
United States, From the most accurate sources of 
information I have been able to consult 1 estimate 
the unpaid claims against the Slab* for war pur¬ 
poses as not exceeding the sum of $250,000. Upon 
this estimate the whole amount, unexpended, and 
the unpaid liabilities of the State incurred for war 
purposes to January 1,1*02, are $2,339,451. 
WISCONSIN, 
Under the call for volunteers for three years, or 
the war, Wisconsin has now in the held ten regi¬ 
ments, numbering 10,117 men. There are now 
organized and awaiting orders six regiments 
infantry, and seven companies of artillery, with an 
aggregate of6.757 men. The 17th (Irish) regiment. 
Colonel J L. Doran, and the tSlh, Colonel'James 
S. Alban, have their full number of companies in 
readines. lacking one, and are notified to go into 
camp—the former at, Madison and the latter at Mil- 
waukie. These companies are not all full, but will 
muster 1.400 men. Three additional companies of 
artillery arc about going info camp, numbering 334 
men. Resides these, the State lias furnished an 
independent company of cavalry, now in Missouri, 
raised by Captain Von Doutech,*! men; a company 
of 104 men for Berdan's sharp-shooters; and an 
additional company for the 2d regiment, of about 
80 men. Three regiments of cavalry —the 1st, Col¬ 
onel E. Daniels, the 2d. Colonel C. C. Washburn, 
and the 3d, Colonel W A. Barstow, are being 
organized, and number together, 2,450 men. A 19th 
(independent) regiment is being rapidly organized 
under direction of the Government, by Colonel II. 
T. Slanders. Racine. Not calculating for this last, 
the State bus. furnished and 1ms organizing, 20,'.173. 
or adding for the tirst, in the three months service, 
21,*23 men. The incomplete regiments are being 
rapidly tilled, and when filled, a* they phortly wifi 
lio, to the average number with which our regiments 
have left the State, and adding the tilth infantry, of 
which no estimate has been included above, the 
number of volunteers from Wisconsin in tho United 
States service will be full 28,000. 
No State lms furnished belter Material for soldiers 
than Wisconsin. Her regiments have been tilled by 
men who worthily represent Hie intelligence and 
loyalty of her people. Universal testimony agrees 
that no troops have taken the held better provided 
in all respects. __ 
Rebel Defenses at Columbus. 
Tue New York Tribune obtained a plan of the 
rebel fortifications at Columbus, Ivy., and we trans¬ 
fer the same to our columns. The sketch was 
drawn from memory by one who has been there, 
and knows all about the place. It is not claimed 
that the precision of a skillful draughtsman and 
engineer has been brought out in the diagram, 
but the drawing is sufficiently accurate to present 
An intelligible idea of this rebel stronghold and its 
surroundings. 
Columbus is situated on a bluff, just below a bond 
of the Mississippi river. The bluff is of limestone, 
and had an agency in turning the river at this point. 
It is about 75 feet high, and is flanked by a narrow 
strip of land at its base, overflowed at times by 
high water. The village is situated on its southern 
slope. The country in the rear has been heavily 
timbered, but the rebels have made good use of 
their axes, and hundreds of acres are leveled to the 
ground, presenting an abatis as formidable to our 
troops as that around Washington to the rebels 
under Beauregard .and Johnston. The railroad 
enters the town through an excavation about fifteen 
feet deep. Commencing up stream, we tind at figure 
1 a 14-gun battery under the bluff. When the Trib¬ 
une's informant saw it, it. was simply a breastwork, 
but it is now reported that the rebels are easemating 
it with the timber which was cut out at O'Neil's 
mill, which was burned by Gen. Paige on the return 
of the expedition, week before last. In the river, In 
front of the battery, is a submarine battery or tor¬ 
pedo. Continuing on, we come to a stationary 
steam-engine, (12.) used to pump water upon the 
bluff for the use of tho troops. Still further along, 
near tho point whore the bluff retreats from the 
river, is a throe-gun battery (2). The Rev. Gen. 
Bishop Polk’s headquarters are there. Continuing 
on to the lower end of the town, we come to a three- 
gun battery on shore, near the railroad depot; also, 
a floating battery of twenty guns, the wharf-boats 
and some old flats having been used for the purpose. 
Back of the depot, overlooking the town, is a circu¬ 
lar work of eight guns, (7,) commanding the river, 
also the approaches to the town from the rear. 
would have followed a cheek on the advance of Col. 
Gavlield, or any failure of his plans. It would have 
cost largely both in time and money to have sent re- 
enforcements to him; the population of tho whole 
region would have been terrorized, while rampant 
Humphrey Marshall and his marauding band would 
have laid waste the entire country. Col. Garfield, 
with the eye of a soldier, saw the necessity for a 
quick movement, and therefore, without wailing for 
the advance of the 14th Kentucky regiment—or 
rather the main portion of it; for Lieut Col. Mon¬ 
roe, with two or three companies, had reached him, 
and regardless ol the approaching rc-enforeeinents 
under Col. Cvanox fmm Paris, he made that buhl 
dash which discomfited, routed, and dispersed the 
vaunted strength of the rebels, and drove them into 
the mountain fastnesses which skirt the Virginia 
border line, without tents, wagons, or provisions. 
All honor, then, to Col. Garfield and bis noble offi¬ 
cers and men. His modest dispatches to Gen. Buell 
have made no mention of the incredible hardships 
he overcame; and it is from other sources that we 
derive these particulars of the “ eagle swoop” of the 
18th brigade. 
The Mill Spring Victory—Detailed Account. 
Tuf, recent, victory at '‘Mill Springs,”—other¬ 
wise known as “ Cliff Creek,”—Pulaski Co., Ky., 
was of such importance that our readers will not 
object to the space occupied in giving particulars as 
wo find them in our Cincinnati exchanges. The 
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette writes thus, 
under date January 20th; 
The enemy under the immediate command of 
Major-General Crittenden, marched, eight regiments 
strong, from their camp, last Saturday. Their 
mounted guards' were skirmishing through the 
greater part of the night with ours. Colonel Wol¬ 
ford's cavalry were doing outpost duty that night, 
and by their behavior then, and in the battle after¬ 
ward, completely cleared away the reproach which 
some unworthy officers have brought upon them. 
They will always fight well when Wolford is with 
them. Tho Tenth Indiana occupied a wooded hill 
on the right of the road. On the left was a field, 
stretching down the hill for several hundred yards. 
In front of the woods was another field of about 
twenty acres. 
THIS ENEMY ATTACK OUR ADVANCE. 
The enemy formed in two fields, attacking the 
Indiana troops both in front and upon their left 
flank. A section of Captain.Standards battery had 
been brought up, and was stationed in tho road. 
The attack here was made about 7 o’clock in the 
morning. Colonel Manson coming up to the posi¬ 
tion just after the attack began, and seeing that his 
men must be overpowered before the other regi¬ 
ments could come up, ordered bis men to fall back, 
which they did in good order, fighting as they wont. 
Immediately to the rear of the woods, where the. 
Tenth was stationed, is another field, with a steep 
descent to a ravine, ami thence comes another dense 
forest. On the left of the road the clearings con¬ 
tinue to the ravine, the sides of which at that point 
are covered with a growth of scrub oaks and other 
timber. * 
OUR TROOPS RE-ENFORCED, FORMA “v,” AND STAND. 
After crossing the river, another field lies on the 
left of the road. Tho Tenth retired through the 
field on the right of the road, anil through the woods 
for about a hundred and fifty yards in the rear of 
the ravine. At this point Colonel Fry’s Fourth 
Kentucky came, up and formed along the fence, 
which separates the road from the field on the left. 
There is no fence on the right of tho road at that 
point. The two regiments here formed in the shape 
of a <( V,” its point toward the enemy advancing 
from the ravine, behind which they had rc-forraed 
after their temporary success in the first attack. For 
nearly an hour they tried to break that “ V,” but 
failed. What rebel regiments cainc through the 
woods to attack the Tenth at this place, I have not 
learned. Those which attacked Colonel Fry were 
Battle's Tennessee and the Fifteenth Mississippi, 
and the “Wigfall Rifles,” and the “Mississippi 
Tigers,” as they loved to call themselves. These 
were tho crack regiments of the enemy, and they 
sustained their reputation. Again and again they 
charged across the field, but were always met by the 
terrible fire of the Kentucky Fourth and driven back, 
now ZOLLICOFFKR FELL, 
At this point of the “ V ” died General Zollicotfer. 
He fell nearer our camp than any other man of his 
army. He was with Battle’s Regiment, his own 
home friends, born and brought up around him at 
Nashville. A short distance from him, to the right, 
a party ot his men had beeu broken from their com¬ 
rades and were herding together like frightened 
deer. Colonel Fry's men were just about to tire on 
them. Colonel Fry himself was at the right of his 
regiment. General Z. was on foot and within a 
few feet of the Colonel. A gum coat concealed his 
uniform. Seeing the condition of his men, as the 
Colonel rode up, General Z. said to Colonel Fry, 
“Colonel, you would not fire upon your friends, 
would you?” Colonel F. supposed, from tho Gen¬ 
eral's manner and remark, that he was one of our 
own officers, and at once replied, “Certainly not, 
sir; I have no such intention.” He turned and rod© 
a few steps, when oue of the General’S Aids fired at 
him, wounding his horse. Believing he was tricked. 
Colonel F. at once wheeled and tired at the General. 
The latter raised his hand to his breast and fell 
dead. Another ball struck him at the same moment, 
I believe, in the arm. Hero, too, fell young Bailie 
Peyton, son of a venerable man, well known to the 
nation. Young Peyton, like his fattier, struggled 
long against disunion. He was hissed and insulted 
in the streets last May, lor telling his love for the 
old Union. 
DESPERATE FIGHTING. 
The death of their General did not seem to have 
greatly disheartened the enemy. They continued 
their attacks with as much vehemence as ever. The 
Second Minnesota Regiment came up and formed 
along the fence, on the left of the Fourth Kentucky. 
The rebels still extended their line to flank us on 
that side. The Fifteenth Mississippi charged up to 
the fence, and the men in the two regiments fought 
hand to hand, catching hold ot each other’s guns, 
and trying to drag them through and over the fence, 
but it was all in vain. 
CHARGE OF TUE NINTH OHIO AND TENTH INDIANA. 
McCook’s gallant Dutchmen came up to support 
the Tenth, forming on their right, and with them 
drove the enemy out ot the woods, over the ravine, 
up the bill, across the field to the right of the road. 
The Fourteenth Ohio, which, with the Ninth, had 
marched all night, to get to the battle, together with 
the two East Tennessee and the Twelfth Kentucky 
regiments, wore coming up. The enemy themselves 
were in danger of being outflanked and cut oil' from 
their retreat. Standart’s battery was in full play. 
with deadly effect, on their center. Kinney’s and 
Whitmore's were advancing. There was no help 
for it, the day was lost to the rebels, and they must 
retreat. They were pushed back, flying as they 
went across the fields, Our Minnie balls told fear¬ 
fully on their ranks; yet the loss was not all theirs. 
Many of our brave fellows dropped. 
TUE KEUKL, RETREAT, 
On they went. The enemy is driven through the 
woods, where an hour and a half before they so 
nearly surrounded the Tenth, the heroes of Rich 
Mountain. Many regiments were completely 
broken, and ran for the forests on the left. Wood’s 
Alabama regiment breaks for a swamp, and scatters 
there. Some regiments act together, and form in a 
field a mile to the rear of their first position. But 
Standart’s shells, thrown from thu hill where the 
section was so nearly taken, began to fall among 
them. They fly again, pursued by our victorious 
troops. For the thin! and last time they form, only 
to be scattered as before. 
THE RETREAT BECOMES A ROUT. 
After this the rout is complete. Panic-stricken 
they fly in all directions. The pursuit is pressed up 
to the very intrenchmenta of the enemy. Two of 
their pieces have been taken. The third, which 
they took with them, is only saved to bo left behind 
in their flight, across the river. Our cannon open on 
their camp, our shells falling into their most effec¬ 
tive battery, killing the men at their guns and driv¬ 
ing the rest away. The darkness of nightfall only 
prevents a general assault, and our troops lie down, 
hoping in the morning to complete the good work 
of that Sabbath, a work they had not sought, for 
they were resting that day preparatory to the 
attack which General Thomas had intended to make 
on Monday. 
WUY THE FED ERA LS WERE ATTACKED. 
It will be a matter of surprise to the whole nation 
that the rebels should leave their fortified camp on 
the river to attack us in the open field. The fact is 
they knew they either had to fight or retreat. Gen¬ 
eral Boyles’ brigade had cut off their river com¬ 
munication with Nashville and threatened their 
rear. They knew that General Thomas was advano- 
ingon the Columbia road, and. that his regiments must 
necessarily become scattered by reason of the bad 
roads and high water. They had found out that we 
had taken possession of Hudson’s Ford. They 
believed that- Fishing Creek was so high that General 
Rchoepff’s forces could nut cross, and wore totally 
unaware of the arrival of the two Tennessee regi¬ 
ments and tho Twelfth Kentucky at General 
Thomas’ camp. In danger of being surrounded 
completely, and starved out, they had either to 
retreat or do what they did—try to cut us up piece¬ 
meal. They thought they were attacking but three 
regiments. They made the attempt but were bit¬ 
terly foiled. They left on the field of battle one 
hundred and fifty dead and as many wounded, 
besides the many whom they succeeded in sending 
away before the pursuit became too hot for them. 
Our loss was thirty-eight killed and one hundred 
and thirty-four wounded. 
THE REBEL SIDE OF THE STORY. 
The rebel journals relate their side of the story 
thus: 
General Crittenden was fearful of being sur¬ 
rounded by the forces under Generals Thomas and 
Schoepff, and being falsely informed as to their 
respective numbers, which were placed at 2,500, he 
ordered an advance at 11 o’clock Saturday night 
Under cover of tho darkness our forces were trans¬ 
ported speedily across the river. Colonel Battle’s 
Teuncsseeans and Colonel Spotham’s Mississippi 
were soon engaged in tho fight. We were defeated, 
and the estimated number of killed, wounded, and 
prisoners taken from us is from 300 to 500. Wo 
wore ordered to fall back to Camp McGinnis, 25 
miles in the direction of Knoxville. Several of our 
men reached Knoxville on the 23d, and report a 
large number of others on the way. The United 
States force is variously estimated at from live to 
twenty thousand, some declaring it to reach twenty- 
five thousand. 
Paris was in a perfect ferment of excitement on 
the 23d, many anticipating an immediate descent of 
the enemy, which they deemed themselves utterly 
powerless to resist They were preparing to leave 
with their negroes and other property for various 
points southward. One gentleman endeavored to 
find transportation for seventy negroes, fearing they 
would fall into the hands of the Federals. General 
Buell, it is reported, has left Muinfordsville, and 
gone no one knows where. 
Fort Henry is safe, the enemy for sorno reason 
having withdrawn from its immediate vicinity. 
Shots of gunboats were not replied to from the Fort, 
which will be held at all hazards. There is no 
doubt the design of the enemy in bombarding 
tho Fort on Friday afternoon was to discover our 
position and the calibre of our guns. Whatever 
were their designs they were frustrated. These 
demonstrations, together with those threatened at 
Bowling Green and Columbus, indicate hot work 
and plenty of it at no distant period. 
The Memphis Avjus of tho 20th says three gen¬ 
tlemen who arrived at Paris before the departure of 
the train for this city, brought information that the 
Federals had advanced in force to Murray,* Ky., 
only twenty-five miles north of Paris, and that they 
would continue their march to Paris, between 
which and Murray there is no Confederate forco 
sufficient to resist them. No advance, however, had 
been made up to the 23d, Thursday.

ROCHESTER, N, Y., FEBRUARY 8, 1862, 
THE WAR’S PROGRESS 
The Northern Status and the War. 
We resume the publication of such portions of 
the Messages, emanating from the Executive Iliads 
of the Northern States, as relate to the action of 
of their respective States in the present rebellion: 
MINNESOTA. 
Governor Ramsey was inducted into his second 
term of office on the 9ih ult. His message shows a 
prosperous condition in the State finances. Minne¬ 
sota lias raised four full regiments of infantry, three 
companies of cavalry, and one of artillery, number¬ 
ing in all 4.400 men' A fifth regiment is forming. 
The State now sends to the defense of the Union ft 
force greater than her whole population in 1*50. 
He recommends military training in the schools, 
and in conclusion says all which the laws of war 
and self-preservation warrant, must be made to fall 
upon the crimes of the criminals of this infamous 
rebellion, even, if necessary, to the extinction of 
human slavery. 
MARYLAND. 
Hon. Augustus W. Bradford, Governor elect of 
Maryland for the term of four years, delivered his 
inaugural on the 15th ult. The message is entirely 
devoted to a discussion of the rebellion as it con¬ 
cerns Maryland, and the Governor gives, in behalf 
of his State, the most patriotic assurance that seces¬ 
sion has no longer any foot-hold in Maryland. lie 
says: 
So long as the federal administration shall con¬ 
tinue to devote, as we believe it has hitherto done, 
tho powers at its command faithfully to the objects, 
and, steadfastly resisting all attempts to misapply 
these powers, shall continue honestly to exert them 
with the single and sacred purpose or sustain in sr the 
supremacy of the Constitution, so long will Mary¬ 
land, impelled by every instinct of interest and 
affection, unite as' ardently as she does to-day in 
upholding the Union of which she is proud to be the 
heart. 
rr.XNSY f. VANIA. 
The Governor’s Message shows a balance in the 
Treasury of $1,151,000 on the 30th of November, 
including $600,000 received from the United States 
on account of the war expenses. After reiterating 
the facts relative to tho call for volunteers, he states 
that the regiments of Pennsylvania now number 
115, and that the total number of men now in ser¬ 
vice is 93,577, and that the number now preparing 
for service is 16,03*, making an aggregate of 109,615, 
exclusive of 20,615 three months' men, now dis¬ 
banded. More than 300 Pennsylvanians are now 
prisoners. 
lie recommends the State assuming the direct tax 
on the National Treasury Department, giving assur¬ 
ance that the balance dun the State for wur expenses 
will be arranged iri time. The same towards her 
quota of tax. 
He recommends a revision of the militia system, 
the instruction of the boys in the Normal schools by 
military instructors, and the establishment of a 
military school by the .State. He alludes to the 
defenseless condition of the water approaches on 
the sea board and the lakes, and recommends legis¬ 
lation on the subject. The Secretary of the Navy, 
on request, being made to hlin, had consented to 
retain the steamer Michigan at Erie during the win¬ 
ter. Ito recommends that the Banks be released 
from the penalties incurred by the suspension of 
specie payment, lie concludes by asserting that 
Pennsylvania lnus given mure and better clothed and 
equipped men than any other State, and that the 
universal movement by Pennsylvanians signifies 
that they are determined to quell the insurrection, 
save the Union, aiul never to tolerate any plan for 
its dissolution or re-construction. 
OHIO. 
The whole number of Ohio volunteers mustered 
into the service of the United States, under the two 
calls of the President, and the special authority of 
the Secretary of War, is J00.224. This does not 
include the citizens of Ohio who have gone into 
military organizations of other States, chiefly 
because of a want of authority to receive them into 
the contingent. From the most reliable sources of 
information I have been able to consult, I estimate 
the number of men enlisted from Ohio, for other 
States, at not less than 10,000.

Secretary of tVar for authority to organize thirty 
regiments in Onio for the three months' service 
having boon declined, F organized and called into 
State service nine regiments of infantry, ten pieces 
of artillery, and four Companies ot cavalry, under

Ascending now the bluff, (at figure 4,) there is a 
work containing three guns, which carry projectiles 
weighing 128 pound's each. This battery has a 
lunge of the river tor four miles. Immediately 
south of this there is a strong intrenched work with 
a breastwork at the edge of the bluff; and a ditch 
and breastwork at the rear, thus commanding both 
front and rear.' There are also (at 9, 9) two works 
mounting 16 guns, designed solely to protect the 
rear. Still further toward Tic rear is a long rifle 
pit, as breastwork, extending from the edge of the 
bluff on the north, to the railroad excavation on tho 
south. An idea of the area may be had when it is 
considered that this pit is more than a mile long.

Commodore Foote made a reconuoissancu of the

Items and Incidents. 
A soldier in Col. Oowdiu’s regiment writes 
home:—“ I never knew I was so capable. I thought 
selling groceries was tho extent of my capability, 
but it seems that l can build houses, dig trenches, 
officiate in the hospital; and, to-morrow, with a dry- 
goods clerk, will commence building the chimney 
of a new hospital.” 
Yale, Amherst. Williams, and some of our other 
Eastern Colleges, have displayed patriotism in turn¬ 
ing out young men for the army, but no one of them 
can compare in this respect with their sister institu¬ 
tions nf the West. A recently received catalogue of 
Oberlin College, Ohio, sums up tho following list of 
absentees in the armyOne member of the Faculty, 
captured iu Western Virginia, and now a prisoner 
at Castle I’inckney; two theological students, four 
seniors, sixteen juniors, sixteen sophomores, ton 
freshmen, three pursuing a teacher’s course, and 
eight preparing for college. 
In Bavaria, Clermont Co., Ohio, the boys who are 
two young to go to the war have formed a company 
which they call the Saw buck Rangers, members of 
which agree to saw wood and do the other small 
chores of the women whose husbands have gone to 
the wars. A local paper says they are kept busy.
