Engagement near Memphis — the Confederates successful. [official Dispatch.] Meridian, Miss., Oct. 18, 1863. To Gen. S. Cooper: The following dispatch has just been received from Brig.-Gen. Chalmers: Byhalia, Oct. 12.--We have torn up the railroad in four places and attacked Colliersville yesterday morning. Gen. Sherman, with part of Smith's brigade, en route for Corinth, arrived as we did. We drove the enemy into their fortifications, burned their camp, with considerable stores, and thirty wagons. We brought off 20 wagons, took five colors and 104 prisoners. Our loss is about 50 killed and wounded. The enemy's loss was very heavy. Prisoners report that Gen. Smith and Col. Anthony were killed. Reinforcements coming from Germantown and Lafayette, we retreated. (signed,) J. C. Chalmers. (Signed,) J. E. Johnston. [The Colliersville alluded to is doubtless a station on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, about 25 miles from Memphis.]
