and join him. A Memphis dispatch, of the 27th says that the diary of an officer attached to Gen. Grienson's column, in Smith's cavalry expedition, furnishes but little of importance beyond what has been already reported. Our loss in the attack on the enemy at West Point was forty killed and wounded. We drove the rebels out and destroyed a number of cars and culvert, a depot, and several miles of track; and a large amount of corn and cotton. In the attack by Forrest on our forces, near Okolona, the 3d Tennessee cavalry broke at the first fire, running six or seven of our small guns into a ditch, breaking their carriages and spiking and leaving the guns. In this fight our loss was about 100, mostly in prisoners. Our total loss during the expedition was about 150. This column burned about 3,000 bales of Confederate cotton, over a million bushels of corn, and captured over a hundred prisoners, a thousand mules and negroes.

ng.--President Lincoln's experimental Florida expedition, to begin with, has turned out one of the most stupid and inexcusable blunders of the war. Next, the return to Tunnel Hill of the advanced forces of Gen. Thomas from the mountain gorge in front of Dalton, Georgia, is explained as due to their discovery that Joe Johnston, in superior strength, had massed his army at Dalton, and was ready for a general battle, and we were not. Next, the early retreat of Gen. Smith's cavalry expedition from Northern Mississippi back into Tennessee, pursued by the enemy, does not look well. Next, the Sherman Alabama expedition, by the failure of Gen. Smith to effect a juncture with it, is, we fear, placed in a position somewhat critical; and next, as we hear nothing whatever from Mobile, we must conclude that Admiral Farragut has found that he can do nothing in seven feet water with vessels drawing fourteen feet. This is not a very interesting picture for the opening of the spring campaign.

y sad impression here, not merely on account of what they have failed to accomplish, but on account of the virtual position in which Gen. Sherman is placed by their retreat. It is generally believed that the latter, who contemplated an attack on Selma, will be compelled to give up his project and to fall back upon Vicksburg, which would have a most disastrous effect upon the morale of our troops. A telegram dated Washington, the 1st inst., says: Since the disastrous retreat of Grierd, he is incapable of maintaining his ground. Worse still, the falling back of these two officers takes away from him the cavalry force upon which he relied to prosecute his operations. Military men believe, also, that an advance upon Mobile or Selma in his present condition has become impossible, and that Gen. Sherman will be compelled to retrace his steps and come back to Vicksburg. The following telegram from Cairo, and written under the eye of one of the defeated Generals, is the on

e been more severe than has been stated. A large number of stragglers, not yet estimated, have been captured by the enemy. As to our losses in killed and wounded, we have no means to judge, no official report having yet been published on that subject. During the numerous attacks which took place all along our lines a regiment of Federal cavalry was entirely overwhelmed by Chalmer's men and broke away, leaving three guns in the hands of the rebels. Our forces were pursued as far up as Lagrange by the rebel Generals Richardson and Rhoddy. Gen. Forrest, with a body of cavalry, two thousand strong, had remained at West Point, and was to leave that place to fall upon General Sherman's rear. It is not true that Gen. Lee is said to have assisted Forrest in repulsing our troops. Lee is not with Forrest, but was at the last date harassing Sherman's rear in company with Cosby and Wirt Adams. The failure of Gens.
