taking Columbus, to long defer the attack in carrying out their favorite plan of descending the Mississippi. They say they must have it, and we are all the time adding to the strength and nature of its defences. Reinforcements are arriving daily, and we now have sufficient force here, I think, to repulse the enemy, no matter in what number. I do not expect another engagement, unless a naval one entirely, before next week, as the roads are now too moist for the enemy's artillery. The Lincoln gun-boats, I think, may be expected at any moment. I have barely time before the mail closes to narrate an anecdote too good to be lost. One of our Generals had been very frequently applied to with requisitions for Spiritous vini Gallici, the abbreviation Spir, vini. Gal. only being used, and the General not knowing what was meant, but supposing that the applicants, (surgeons, of course,) only wanted some kind of medicine, granted every application. He applied to the medical purveyor to

in this policy. Heretofore we had to cope with the Federals at such disadvantages that it would have been the height of impolicy to have provoked them by invasion; but now that our resources are sufficient to make us respectable contestants, the attempt of the enemy to divert our forces should be counteracted by our diverting theirs, by resorting to the very means they use to divert ours, namely, invasion, or at all events some demonstration of active hostility. The threatening advance of Price and McCulloch against St. Louis, for illustration, has in some measure already demonstrated that the policy of attack would greatly relieve Kentucky. The present inert policy is certainly opening the door of invasion very wide to the enemy, without affording any advantage to ourselves, whereas by invading their territory, or even attacking their lines, we would draw their armies back from our soil to defend their own. My opinion is, that the enemy regard this as too important a point,

From our army in Kentucky. [Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Columbus, Ky., Dec. 4, 1861. Contrary, no doubt, to what you might expect from your point of observation, our Army will, I presume, go into winter quarters. The rigors of the season furnish a severe argument against any forward movements just at present. I am afraid that our policy is too severely defensive, both here and upon the line of the Potomac. The President's plan to merely repel invasion I have regarded as the correct one, if not carried to that extreme that would seem to grant the enemy a too conscious immunity and security from all intrusion on our part. But occasion has arrived, I think, for change in this policy. Heretofore we had to cope with the Federals at such disadvantages that it would have been the height of impolicy to have provoked them by invasion; but now that our resources are sufficient to make us respectable contestants, the attempt of the enemy to divert our forces should be

the mouth, which made his lips look very unnatural.--(Great cheering on both sides.) They finally clinched, and Holloway was thrown. Twenty-fifth round,--Both appeared to be growing weak, and it was thought the fight would terminate in a few rounds, as it did, in favor of Dorcy. The last four rounds were very severe, but Dorcy did not appear to show the effect of his punishment. There appeared to be very little blood in him, while Holloway bled freely from every little tap. On the twenty-ninth round, which was the last, Holloway appeared, although quite weak, to have had the advantage, yet his seconds, thinking he had fought long enough, threw up the sponge. Holloway was very angry at this, saying he was not whipped, and it was wrong for them to throw up the sponge.--They all hastily entered their coaches, and returned to the city. The police got wind of the fight, and started in pursuit about half an hour after the party. They, however, got on the wrong road, and went t

brutal prize fight — Contest between a New York and a Philadelphia Bruiser --twenty-nine rounds fought. [From the Brooklyn Eagle, Dec. 2.] A most brutal prize fight took place at daybreak this morning, a short distance back of Calvary Cemetery. The principals — Mike Dorcy and Ed. Holloway — have been in training for the past two weeks, and were in pretty good condition for the fight. The match was made up at a well-known sporting house up town in New York, and the principals, seconds, and about seventy-five or a hundred spectators crossed the Fulton, South, and Grand street ferries about three o'clock this morning, and proceeded quietly to the ground selected. The preliminaries, such as the fixing of the ring, the choosing of bottle-holders, time-keeper, &c., were soon settled, and the parties, both confident of victory, were brought in the ring. They were light weights, and about nineteen or twenty years old. Hollo way, on coming into the ring, walked up <

The capture of the Henry Lewis. --Some account has already been published in our columns of the capture of the Henry Lewis by the Yankees. We find the following in connection therewith in the New Orleans Delta, of the 2d inst., from a correspondent at West Pascagoula, Nov. 28: This morning, just at daylight, I saw the steamboat Lewis rounding Belle Fontaine Point, running east, when all of a sudden she headed for the main land at double-quick time. But too late --one of the accursed Yankee steamers was in close pursuit, which fired three times. The Lewis soon run aground about one mile from shore, when the enemy's launch boarded her, got her off, and in a ittle time as it takes me to write the occurrence the poor Lewis was disappearing in the gap pass between Horn and Ship Islands.--This took place within two and a half miles from my house. The Federal steamer then took a position several miles east of the west end of Horn Island, in the Sound, crouched ready to pounce o
