ted out in Memphis for an expedition to Sherman's army, in charge of 400 wagon loads of supplies, and for the purpose also of furnishing this much transportation, with a large ambulance train, and twenty-four pieces of artillery, with the troops that accompanied them to Sherman. His force, consisting only of two brigades, (for Chaimers went some where sometime ago) immediately returned to pounce upon the enemy. Rucker's brigade returned from Oxford, and Johnson's command came down from North Alabama. Thus this force, though not half as large as that of the enemy, was at once, and unexpectedly to the enemy, concentrated on the Mobile and Ohio road and just in time to head him at Brice's cross roads, six miles from Baldwyn. Skirmishing began about 8 o'clock in the morning by Col. Rucker; Col. Johnson soon came up and assisted to hold the enemy in check; Col. Lyon, with his Kentucky brigade, came in before 12 o'clock, and Col. Bell's gallant brigade — with the exception of the 2d

hio regiment, which was in the rear of the columns, and hard pressed by Col Lyon, surrendered. The various troops of Gen Buford's command in this, the second day of the pursuit, captured a thousand prisoners. Having followed the enemy nearly to LaGrange, and put his column to flight in fragments, the troops commenced their return on the morning of the 12th, and scouted the woods to the left of the Statem road back to Ripley. The result has been that seven or eight hundred more straggling Yankees were caught. Grierson and Sturgis deserted their commands beyond Ripley and fled to LaGrange. The outrages committed by the enemy in the expedition exceeded all former example. Houses were robbed of every necessary to the support of families. Ladies insulted and outraged; children robbed of their clothing, and left naked, crying and hungry; old men choked and gagged, and in some instances beaten nearly to death; women kicked out of doors for murmuring at these wrongs, and knocked down

ommitted by the enemy in the expedition exceeded all former example. Houses were robbed of every necessary to the support of families. Ladies insulted and outraged; children robbed of their clothing, and left naked, crying and hungry; old men choked and gagged, and in some instances beaten nearly to death; women kicked out of doors for murmuring at these wrongs, and knocked down by buck negroes in the presence of their husbands. These are some of the injuries that the poor people of North Mississippi have had to endure within the last ten days; and it is things like these that make them grateful once more for their deliverance, and have nerved the arms of Forrest's soldiers to fight like demons and to perform deeds of daring unequalled in history. The Southern man who would not fight now, is unfit for freedom, and ought not to enjoy it. The Mississippi Prairie News gives the following fact, derived from Forrest's chief quartermaster: Yankees killed, 1,000, wounded, 1,50

The enemy's force was four brigades, two of cavalry, commanded by Grierson, and two of infantry; all under Brig Gen. Sturgis; and the commands being full numbered not less than nine thousand.
