the Tallahatchie and the Yallabusha, which after their junction take the name of Yazoo, already familiar to us, both of which cross the Mississippi Central Railroad between Grand Junction and Grenada. Pemberton had fortified the banks of the Tallahatchie, and was within reach of that stream with the greater portion of his army. Grant's army was divided into two separate commands; the two divisions from Corinth were under Hamilton, the other three divisions had been brought over from Boliverh ten thousand men since the 8th of November; on the 13th, his vanguard was at Holly Springs, the first important station after Grand Junction. The Federal cavalry, both numerous and active, extended far and wide, and reached the banks of the Tallahatchie, toward which Grant was leading all his forces. He had then seventy-two thousand men under his command, but the necessity of occupying a large number of posts had reduced the number of troops he could place in the field to forty-six thousand

mportant point, which occupied a portion of the territory of the State of Arkansas, and he kept an advance post at Clarendon on the White River. McPherson, who still occupied Holly Springs, and whose cavalry kept watch over the banks of the Tallahatchie, started again by the Memphis road on the 21st, and everything was ready for transporting a considerable portion of the army by water as far as Vicksburg. Grant reserved for himself the right of directing this great expedition in person. By e columns rendezvoused at a given point early in the morning, some arriving there during the day or in the evening, others marching part of the night in order to reach such point sooner or later according to the task assigned them. Between Tallahatchie and the village of Pontotoc there were found several camps of instruction which served as depots to the newly-organized regiments of Confederate cavalry. The detachment sent forward by Grierson dispersed them on the 19th, and encamped south o

take it to Johnston. The plan of his expedition is promptly arranged with the latter and S. D. Lee. Three brigades of Confederate cavalry guard the northern part of the State of Mississippi; they are posted en échelon on the left bank of the Tallahatchie, from New Albany as far as Panola. On the other hand, the Federals strongly occupy the line of railway from Memphis to Corinth, which it is proposed to force. Grierson, the Union general, whose headquarters are at La Grange, has distributed atants. It is therefore with five hundred mounted men that he takes the road; he is followed only by two guns and four wagons. But General Lee accompanies him to help pierce the hostile line, and crosses with him on the 3d of December the Tallahatchie River. Ferguson's and Ross' brigades, accompanied by Forrest, meet at Ripley a portion of Chalmers' brigades, while this general, with the rest of his men, leaves Panola to make a demonstration against the railway on the west of La Grange.

e Federals think only of retreating; they abandon all their wounded and broken cannon, and set forward to rejoin the train and fugitives that have preceded them on the Pontotoc road. They do not halt until they come near that place at midnight, and after a few hours' rest, during which Smith and his lieutenants endeavor to re-establish order in the column, the latter receives again the order for departure. Thanks to this hurried retreat, it reaches, on the 23d at noon, the banks of the Tallahatchie at New Albany; in the evening Waring's brigade, relieving Hepburn's as the rearguard, crosses in its turn the bridge and destroys it. The Federals had henceforth nothing more to fear; but, after having allowed themselves to be beaten by forces much inferior in number, after a too hasty retreat in which they had offered the sight of a most shameful defeat, they seem not to have even perceived that the enemy had renounced pursuing them. Convinced that they would be safe only in their old e
back in Virginia, before our columns; and by the very act they fix upon themselves the stigma of falsehood for having claimed, and for still continuing to claim, successes in Maryland. It is rumored, also, that Jackson is falling back to join Lee, and that both are making haste to cover Richmond. In Mississippi they are falling back before Grant; and Holly Springs, where they were to make a stand, has been given up, that they may find a ditch still further back, even South of the Tallahatchie river. Recent events in that section have proved to them that "discretion is the better part of valor." In Tennessee they are retiring before the dreaded Rosecrans; Nashville is like sour grapes beyond their reach. Southwest of New Orleans in the Bayon country, they are beaten and scattered by Weitzel. In Charleston and Savannah deserters and contrabands inform us the people who can are removing, and all the valuable movable property is being carried away, because they are daily
Movements in the Southwest. Canton, Miss., Dec. 22. --Grant's army has fallen back beyond Tallahatchie. An important expedition, under General Van Dorn, which has been out several days, is not yet heard from. [The expedition is doubtless the one mentioned in the dispatch from Selma.]
Reports from deserters. Mobile, March 12. --A special to the Tribune, dated Jackson, 11th, says: "Two Federal deserters arrived at Panola to-day, who bring information that 16 transports and 7 gunboats are in Tallahatchie river. The whole force is estimated at 14,000 men. The deserters came on the last boat, through the Yazoo Pass, which was badly damaged by snags and stumps. A negro regiment is at Memphis, from above.
