The forces there landed will doubtless seek to invest the Fort by land, and will co-operate with the gunboats on the Mississippi. Fort Pillow, as you have heretofore been informed, is situated just above the mouth of the Harchie river, and is seventy miles above Memphis by water and thirty by land. The enemy is moving out also from the lower Tennessee, through Paris, across the country towards the Mississippi. They destroyed the depot buildings at the Henry Station, on the Memphis and Ohio road, on Saturday, together with five car loads of Government stores. Their intention is supposed to be to occupy that part of the State lying above Fort Pillow and between the lower Tennessee and Mississippi rivers, and gradually to advance on Memphis.

The fight lasted perhaps five or six minutes, when the rally was sounded for our troops who formed again on their original line. I give it as the opinion of myself, as well as many others engaged in the fight, that we killed and wounded forty to fifty of the enemy. We captured between fifty and sixty prisoners, whom we double quicked to Gen. Breckinridge's headquarters in a hurry. I think that their regiment of infantry and their cavalry also fired upon us, but they were never engaged Some of the boys charged clear through all three of their lines and returned safely; but no charge was made upon their cavalry.
