hey encountered only the dead and the desperately wounded. Gen. McClellan sent four successive dispatches to Gen. Halleck concerning this affair; whereof the following is the latest and most erroneous: headquarters army of the Potomac, Bolivar Sept. 15--10 A. M. To H. W. Halleck, General-in-Chief: Information this moment received completely confirms the rout and demoralization of the Rebel army. Gen. Lee is reported wounded and Garland killed. Gen. Hooker alone has over a thousa and that Franklin had likewise been completely successful at Crampton's Gap, on his left. He says in this dispatch: The enemy disappeared during the night; our troops are now advancing in pursuit. At 8 A. M., he telegraphed again — still from Bolivar, at the foot of Turner's Gap: I have just learned from Gen. Hooker, in the advance — who states that the information is perfectly reliable — that the enemy is making for the river in a perfect panic; and Gen. Lee last night stated publicly t<

Rosecrans had in and about Corinth not far from 2unications with Grant, he supposed its object to be Bolivar or Jackson, and that only a feint would be made on feint, designed Corinth. to cover a movement on Bolivar and Jackson, at 9 o'clock sent Gen.

tal. Two locomotives and 40 or 50 cars were among the property destroyed; the Rebels coming prepared with cans of spirits of turpentine to hasten the conflagration: the burning arsenal blowing up, at 3 P. M., with a concussion which shattered several buildings, while 20 men were wounded by flying balls and shell. The Rebels left at 5, after a stay of ten hours, which they had improved to the utmost: thence proceeding to assail, in rapid succession, Coldwater, Davis's Mill, Middleburg, and Bolivar, farther north; but, though the defenders of each were fewer than Murphy might have rallied to his aid at Holly Springs, each was firmly held, and the raiders easily driven off. Murphy, it need hardly be added, was dismissed from the service in a stinging order Dated Holly Springs, Jan. 8. by Gen. Grant--said order to take effect from Dec. 20th, the date of his cowardly and disgraceful conduct. Grant had seasonably dispatched 4,000 men by rail to the relief of Holly Springs — or rathe

were finally completely routed and scattered in all directions, with loss of all their artillery and baggage and a large number of small arms and prisoners. The enemy's loss in killed and wounded is very great. Ours is also large. Our troops are still pursuing the flying Rebels. J. M. Schofield, Major-General. Gen. McNeil was at St. Louis when first apprised Oct. 9. of this raid, and at once set out for his post, Lebanon: whence, gathering up what force lie could, he advanced on Bolivar, moving by Humansville and Stockton on Lamar, where he hoped to intercept their flight. But Shelby had already passed through Humansville, hotly pursued, losing there his last gun, when McNeil reached that point; so the latter joined the hunt through Greenfield and Sarcoxie into Arkansas, and on through Huntsville over Buffalo mountain, taking prisoners by the way; continuing the chase to Clarksville, unable to come fairly up with the nimble fugitives, who had now crossed the Arkansas and

cooperating force dispatched from Corinth on the south, consisting of Gen. Mower's brigade of infantry and Col. Mizener's cavalry, found nothing to cooperate with ; while the 7th Illinois cavalry, Col. Prince, which had moved out from Memphis to Bolivar, was compelled to fall back Dec. 24. to Somerville; near which, it was surrounded next day by Richardson's mounted force--1,000 against 500--and routed with considerable loss. Forrest had by this time taken the alarm, as well he might — the scene of this achievement into Mississippi, and was not effectively pursued; there being no adequate cavalry force at hand for the purpose. Gen. S. D. Sturgis, with 12,000 men, was sent after April 30. Forrest; advancing from Memphis to Bolivar; but of course did not come near him: in fact, there was no chance of over-taking him after he had passed Wolf river and the forces guarding our lines in that quarter. Some weeks later, a similar and in good part the same force, but including
