Breckinridge's old division was partly engaged. The enemy were repulsed everywhere and fell back on our right. Some skirmishing along the centre to day.

The fighting in Mississippi. Demopolis, Feb. 26. --Later intelligence from Mississippi says that Gen. Forrest's forces, during the recent engagement near Okolona, did not exceed two thousand, whilst that of the enemy is estimated at 10,000:Late in the evening of the 22d the latter formed three separate lines and made a desperate stand. They made three charges, in each of which they recalled and were driven back with great slaughter. Many of them passed through our lines and were captured. The next morning the road was lined with sutlers' stores, dead horses, and Yankees. Gen. Forrest's command was too tired to continue the pursuit. Gen. Gholson, with six or 700 State troops, arrived, and went in pursuit. Many of the enemy's wounded fell into our hands. Among our wounded is Col. Bartean, of Bell's brigade, severely in the breast. Gen. Gholson captured many prisoners, small arms, sabres, saddles, and was pursuing their routed columns above Pontotoe.

Liverpool cotton market was almost paralyzed; prices were nominal at about twopence decline. The London Stock Exchange was materially affected. Consols declined about half per cent., owing to fears that a sudden peace in America would cause a serious derangement in financial affairs by a fall in cotton, and also on account of political contingencies. The prospects of peace were eagerly debated, and the likelihood of peace obtained greater credence than at any previous time. On the 26th February, however, the announcement that the peace conference was a failure, received by the Hibernian, was published in the morning papers, and, of course, caused a reaction. The fall in cotton was almost, if not entirely, recovered, and consols also improved one eighth to one-quarter per cent. The London News of the 16th February is hopeful that good will still result from the peace conference. The desire of both sections for peace has been manifested in an unmistakable manner, and the
Waterloo or Austerlitz--General Lee's Plans. The New York Mercury of February 26th has an editorial article which possesses particular interest at this time. We copy it entire: Wilmington is ours. Charleston is ours. Columbia is ours. Without a struggle; without an answering blow. One after the other of these — but lately the chief strongholds of the rebels — have yielded to what the Government organs would have us believe was an inexorable necessity. For nearly four years, bold and impregnable, they have defied attack, laughed siege to scorn, and withstood bombardment, want of supplies, and suffered all the miseries ever endured by a weaker power contending with a stronger. And now why is it, that in this, their last extremity, they have so tamely yielded to the foe they have defied and held at bay so long? Why this sudden departure from the cities which, in the earlier days of the war, they so stoutly swore should never be desecrated by the presence of the "ac
The Shenandoah. --A dispatch from Melbourne, Australia, February 26, says: "The Shenandoah has arrived. She has burned eleven ships since leaving the Cape of Good Hope."
