From the Southwest. Mobile, Aug. 30.
--A special dispatch to the Advertiser and Register, dated Tupelo, 29th, says:
Fourteen prisoners captured at Rienzi have arrived here.
Three hundred of our guerrillas moved in two columns against the Yankee camp, with the intention of attacking it on both sides.
One party captured the pickets and took the Yankees completely by surprise, rushing headlong into their camp, which consisted of five regiments of cavalry and eight of infantry.
Theight of infantry.
The other party failed to attack, and consequently their small force was repulsed and pursued by the Yankees, but they succeeded in bringing off a number of prisoners.
Our loss will not exceed fifteen.
The attack was reckless and the escape of our force a miracle.
A deserter, who came in from Rienzi to-night, who left the camp on Monday, estimates the Yankee force there at 7,000.
Discord prevails in the Yankee camp, which is overrun with stolen and runaway negroes.
