To Correspondents. We have received many communications which we have been unable to publish for want of room. We suggest to our correspondents that they make their communica tions thort and to the point. That will al ways insure them an insertion, if of i proper character. t& We copy in another place, an article from the Richmond Dispatch of the 17th inst., relative to the effects of the rebellion on the Northwest. The Northwest realizes and appreciates all the advantages derived from the free navigation of the Mississippi. spoaen of by the Dispatch. So clear are the people of this region as to the necessity of maintaining that outlet for their commerce, that they now have an army of near 150,000 men in the field, backed by a most formidable flotilla of iron gunboats, for the express purpose of opening the navigation of that river to ita mouth. Once opened, it Will be a long time before it is ever again closed against our produce. The people of the Northwest have made many sacrifices in order to sustain their government They are willing to make many more. It may have been a silly ex periment " the attempt to starve our own best customers, by depriving ourselves of our best market " but so that it aids frustrating the designs of the traitors who have brought about the present condition of affairs, our people are content. They will never be satisfied with anything less than the absolute submission of the rebels to the proper authority,' if they never send another bushel of corn or pound of bacon down the Father of Waters. . ... , cut on me inner fecore tney nave no fears. They are assured that the Govern ment will be sustained the navigation of the Mississippi opened and the Southern States yet come pleading around their rich granaries for that wherewith to sustain life. Interesting News from Mexico. By the arrival of the steamer Columbia at New York,' we have late and interesting news from Mexico to the 10th inst - Communication with the iaterior was cut ofil .The city of Vera Cruz, occupied by the allies, is surrounded and besieged by the Mexicans. No vegetables or fuel reach the city, and many articles of prime necessity are sorely needed. Many Spanish troops are sick, and there are many desertions. It appears as though the allied forces, instead of humiliating Mexico, and bringing her to terms, are about to be starved out of Vera Cruz, and forced to leave the country. Already a quarrel has occurred between the allies owing to the the fact that the Spaniards did not display the English and French 'flags on ' their arrival. The Mexicans, so long divided into warring factions, are now united against their common enemy, and the Spanish already fear that the expedition will prove a mortifying failure. The Mexican Republic in this struggle, has the sympathy of every loyal American, and there is no doubt that our government would not hesitate to interpose in her behalf, if the rebellion was not taxing all our energies. Our people, may realize the feelings of the citizens of Nashville on hearing of Zollicoffer' defeat and death, by imagining what would be their feelings were the news to suddenly arrive that Gen. Crittenden's army bad been annihilated, Crittenden killed, and an army of victorious rebels was on the march to our city. We apprehend there would be a panic here, as there will be at Nashville. The secesh Senators who hold and aspire to seats in the United States Senate re rasped by the loyal Senators in a most praiseworthy manner. Jesse D. Bright is likely to be expelled, as a counting of noses how twenty-five Senators to be for expulsion and fifteen against, counting tbedoultful in bis favor. Senators Wilson, of Missouri, and Stark, of Oregon, will, in all probability, be refused seats. .. :i The English ship of war Conqueror has been lost in the Gulf Her crew arrived at Nassau on the 12th inst.

Death ef 2Uleoffcr. The Louisville Journal Bays Gen. Zclli-

coffer's entire uniform was taken off his body in small pieces for trophies. His horse, saddle and bridle were captured. In the heat of the melee Zollicoffer shot at Col. Fry twice and wounded his horse, when the Colonel drew his pistol and mortally wounded the rebel leader. Another account in the same paper, furnished by Col. Green Clay, who participated in the battle, says that Gen. Crittenden has been appointed to the command of the rebel forces, but had not arrived in camp. The following in addition, we clip from the columns of the Journal : Gen. Zollicoffer was killed at very close quarters ; he bad ridden up to Col. Fry and told him not to shoot at his own men, when Col. Fry replied that he was not doing so. Soon after this the encounter commenced which proved fatal. The regiments en gaged in the fight were the Tenth Indiana, Fourth Kentucky, Second Kentucky, Second Minnesota, and Ninth Ohio, with a portion of Woolford's Cavalry and two batteries. The Tenth Indiana was in the advance, and contested the ground nobly, but a bayonet cnarge being ordered, the Ninth Ohio advanced with the cold steel and soon broke the rebel ranks, when a panic flight ensued, the retreating columns being followed by lies of musketry were poured in upon them. An order wa3 touna in the entrenchments after the final flight, Bigned by Col. Cumrnings, rrom which it is evident that he suc ceeded to the command after Zollicoifer's fall, and gave the order to disperse. rom accounts tarnished by records found in camp and bv prisoners, the rebel force consisted of ; about ten thousand infantrv. eighteen hundred cavalry, and sixteen pieces oi Bnuiery; iwo oi tne latter nave not been discovered, and were probably concealed. Zollicoffer was in strong position, and his entrenchments could have been defeaded against thirty thousand men!" It had win ter quarters of log huts for fifteen thousand men, and everything was very comfortable. bo precipitate was the evacuation that trunks were left m the huts as if the own ers had gone out to a dress parade; shaving materials were left behind, private corres pondence, miniatures, extra clothing, &c. ihe rebels seem to have been well clothed in jeans, but- they were without overcoats Their discarded knapsacks contained two or threedays rations. Tbey were well sup plied with blanket3, and - had plenty of old army regulation ones, white and black, wnicu were unoaiea. ; , The rout of the rebels was pressed until our men reached elevated positions which partially commanded the camp. Our regi ments were thrown across the country from wmte uaK ureeK. to the Cumberland river, while Col. Harlan's regiment was advanced some distance on tne top of the hill to pre vest the enemy from., occupying it during mo uigui, uiucoaer was evidently under the impression that Gen. Thomas bad but two regiment-! with hiia, and that the reserve cou'il i ..i i.ttue up oa account of the swollen s-i.i-xius. He therefore loft his entrenchnienta auil marched eight miles in the hope to cu t him off. He was correct in a measure, for Gen. Schoepff on Friday sent three regiments, the Twelfth Kentucky and First and Second Tennessee and a battery to General Thomas, but they did not arrive in time to participate, and on Sunday he cent the Thirty-first, Thirty-fifth, and Tnirtyeighth Ohio from Somerset, and they were obliged to cross Fishing Creek by means of an overstretched cable to which they clung, advancing hand over hand, stringing along the rope, such was the swiftness of the cur rent and the depth of the water. When Zollicoffer discovered his mistake, bis men lougut well, but they could not resist the bayonet charge. Our men shot with great precision ; the forest trees through which the enemy retreated were riddled with balls. w - It is uncertain whether the steamboat was fired by our shells or destroyed by the rebels. The conflagration was watched from the hills by our men while "bombs bursting in air," lent a terrible reality to the scene. '1 he body of Gen. Zollicoffer was placed in a tent under a guard of honor, awaiting a flag of truce from the rebels for its delivery, but his men are so demoralized and scattered that it is hardly possible the requisition win oe maae, unless it come from Bowling Greea. The rebel General had but one wound, the fatal one in his breast, and his features after he had been washed, were calm and life-like. Colonel Hoskins was ordered to go a few miles above Somerset and obtain twenty coal barges, and it is probable that with these Gen. Thomas crossed the river.

Vol. - SF-Governor Morton who passed through Cincinnati on Wednesday, on his way to Washington expects to witness a great battle on the Potomac before returning home So says the Cincinoatti Gazette. Thomas W. Pate a Captain ia the 37fn Indiana regiment has been cashiered. The charges against him were these : Breach of arrest ; disrespect toward his commanding officer and conduct prejudicial to good crier and discipline. This poor regiment has certainly been most unfortunate in its officers. $oy A correspondent of the Lafayette Courier says he has seen over 10,000 so diets pass through Bardstown, Ky., and not a solitary drunken man. The latest news from Ship Island says that the health of our troops at that point was excellent. Com. McKeen had sent four schooners loaded withsand to be sunk in Horn Island Pass.

ZOLLICOFFER'S DEFEAT !

PARTICULARS OF THE BATTLE -------------------------- INTERESTING DETAILS The Cincinnati papers of yesterday con tain full details of the battle near Somerset. We take the following "from the Cincinnati Commercial : The battle ground was at a place known as Old Fields, in Pulaski County, and not twelve miles west or White Oak, as telegraphed, but eight miles north of the mouth of Fishing Creek. The forces under the commmand of Gen. Thomas were as fol lows: First and Second Tennessee: Fourth. Tenth and Twelfth Kentucky : Ninth and Fourteenth Ohio; Tenth Indiana; Second Minnesota ; Four Batteries, and Wolford's Cavalry. The 10th Indiana were on picket, with Wolford's cavalry, and received the shock of the advancing enemy. They fought des perately, giving ground slowly, and allowing Gen. Thomas time to come up in good condition. The attack upon them commenced soon after daylight, Sunday morning, It had bad evidently been the intention of Zollicoffer to commence the attack in the night, but he had been detained by the heavy rains, the height of the streams and tne darkness of the night. Nearly two hours elapsed before the Indiana regiment was supported in force. The Indianians lost eleven killed and forty-nine wounded. The first support received by the Indianians was irons tne 4th Kentucky, who lost nine killed and twenty wounded. The 2nd Minnesota was in the fight next, and lost ten killed and fifteen wounded. The next regi ment in the fight was the 9th Ohio, Col. R. L. McCook. The 9th Ohio was the first regiment to charge bayonet, which it did in gallant style. The rebels fled at once, throwing down their arms. General Zollicoffer was attempting a flank movement with two regiments when he was killed. He came out of the bushes on the flank of our forces, close by where Col. Fry, or Kentucky, was posted, and shouted something to Fry, which was understood to be not to fire upon the men in front, for they were Mississippians. One report of what be said is: "You are firing upon your own men there. They are Missisippians." Seeing his mistake, he discharged bis pistol at Fry, striking his horse. Fry instantly returned the fire with his revolver, shooting Zollicoffer through the heart. Zollicoffer was very handsomely dressed, nis clothes were taken by the Federal troops as trophies. His corpse is said to have been very beautiful, being white and clear as waxwork, with a little red hole in his left breast, where the messenger of death entered. - The Federals and Confederates were at times within twenty yards of each other. Most of the dead rebels were shot through the bead. A surprising number were shot in the forehead and arms. The corpses lay on a hill-side, where the severest fighting took place, thick as a flock of sheep. : The rebels took out but two field -pieces, and left them both. Our artillery was vigorously used in the pursuit of the enemy, hurling shell amoog them as they ran. The battle was fought in a heavy rain, the mud being very deep, and the little creeks w ere roaring torrents. The following is from a letter to the Commercial : The 10th Indiana went into the woods about a quarter of a mile in advance of their tents, to the support of their pickets ; and bravely did they support them, too, for over half an hour, against the whole force led against them ; and never retreated a step, nor gave an inch of ground, until nearlv surrounded hr nnruhplmin ..., bers ; then, to save themselves from being i . i . i .... . surrounded, mey unwillingly gave way iiere was a crisis ; and yell on yell went up from the lantern-jawed Secessionists; they thought the day was all their own ml O J -. .MU..

U. l.-i 1 1 r- . . . ... All the credit auu aooor oi tne oattla is due to the 10th Indiana, the 9th Ohio, the 4th Kentucky and 2d Minnesota. For they did all the fighting, as it were, single-handed, with the exception of what support they received from the artillery. They all fought nobly, and judging from the sound of the musketry, they never wavered from a fixed determination to 'gain the victory, and they did gam it. The combatants were so near to each other at one lime, that the powder burned their faces in the discharge of the pieces; but the underbrush was so thick that bayonets were of but little use, and a charge could hardly have been made. - The rebel loss is reported to.be 200 killed, a large number wounded, one of Crittenden's aids, a Lieut.-Colonel, aud three Surgeon?, are among the prisoners. On our side, from 20 to 30 are killed, and from 80 to 100 wounded. The 2d Minnesota captured a banner from the Mississippi regiment, which Lad on it the " Mississippi Butchers." Another correspondent of the Commercial in his account of the fight, says : The steep hills and ravines made the employment of our whole force impracticable and hence the brunt of the battle devolved upon the already mentioned regiments in the advance (4th Kentucky, 2nd Minnesota, 9th Ohio, and 10th Indiana). These gallant men slowly but. steadily forced the reb ela toward the intrenebments. At last, shortly after eleven o'clock, CoL Haskins

succeeded in flanking the enemy on its extreme right. This, with a bayonet charge made, with triumphant yells, by the 2nd Minnesota and 9th Ohio, accelerated the retreat of the rebels. The nearer they approached their fortifications, the greater became their disorder and quickness of movement. At last a panic seemed to seize them, and, strewing the road with muskets, blankets, overcoats and knapsacks, and abandoning two guns and caissons, fled pell-mell toward their camp. ? The road3 about Fishing Creek are in such a condition that it will be impossible to pursue the enemy. The Commercial says : . There has not been a freeze on the Cum-, berland this winter. The ground is full of water, and the mud on the road3 is up to the knees of the men. The road from Somerset to Stanford is hardly passable. Our informant saw one hundred Government wagons hopelessly Btuck in the mud i.tur Stanford. It is a serious question, whether it will be possible to transport provisions to our army on the Cumberland. A strong force is, however, at work oa the road above Somerset, corduroying the worst places. It would be hardly possible to push an army train through the wild country beyond the Cumberland, where the rebels dispersed. - -

There are no troops at Knoxville. f The East Tennesseeans, on hearing of the defeat and death of Zollicoffer, will be apt to rise en 8 The Sullivan Democrat says Lieuts. Silvers and Couleon, arrived in that town on Saturday last, having resigned their positions in the 17th Indiana regiment, because a Captain had been put over them from some other company, against the wishes of the men. . e - We regret exceedingly that General Burnside has not at least one Indiana regiment in his division, as an insurer of good luck. The dead bodies of t wn anna r F widow lady in Franklin county, thia State, were received bv her last hospital of the 37th Indiana regiment in Kentucky.
