ulars of recent Engagements, &c. An interesting letter appears in the Memphis Appeal, of the 29th ult., dated "Columbus, Ky., Oct. 26," from which we extract the following: The current of news has been almost stagnant here recently, though the waters were again "troubled" yesterday afternoon by the arrival at headquarters of a courier from Ben. McCulloch and one from Gen. Jeff. Thompson. Mr. Connor, the courier from McCulloch, brings information that the command is now in Benton county, on the Osage river, some 430 miles from here, and in communication with Gen. Price, though these two Generals have not yet see fit to form a conjunction.--McCulloch's troops were in good order, and eager for an opportunity to meet the enemy Gen.

As soon as measures can be taken for the replenishing of his m

Our readers will find it interesting: We have seen a private letter from Gen'l Thompson, to a gentleman in this city, dated the 23d, in which he states that every day of the previous two weeks had its adventures and history. Alluding to the affair of the 21st, he says: "We had a very pretty

Thompson. and between four and five thousand Federalists.--After burning a number of the bridges on the Iron Mountain Railroad, cutting off communication with St. Louis, and making himself master of his situation, as he supposed, by means of scouting parties kept out in every direction, Gen.
