rations. Rossere, us is whipped, and his promotion to the chief command cut short by his misfortune. Vicksburg is impregnable, the Mississippi blockaded, and Grant in "Hockley."--Morgan is sweeping Kentucky, destroying the railroads and telegraphs, taking trains, destining provisions, and paroling prisoners. Forrest and Wheeler are everywhere in Tennessee, heaping up mortification, discomfort, and loss for the enemy; while Van Dorn, who has so recently achieved a "hand some affair" at Holly Springs, is no doubt busy with other adventures not likely to promote the advantage of the enemy or afford him gratification. The field looks bright and cheering to us. It must be full of gloom for the enemy. He is plunged into greater embarrassment than ever, and his difficulties must increase at home as well as abroad.--His failures in the field will increase the opposition to the Government at Washington, and we may anticipate assaults upon it through the press and from the hustings bol

battle. Rumors placed the number of assailants at 15,000. Confederate troops were intercepting steamboat communication on the Mississippi river, between Columbus and Memphis. The Bulletin thinks the Yankee expedition to Vicksburg is of such magnitude as to bear down all opposition, and any defence of that place will be vain and fruitless. The Arkansas Legislature has imposed a fine of not less than $5,000, nor more than $10,000, and imprisonment in the penitentiary from five to ten years, upon any person caught trading with the Yankees. Gen. Hindman's scouts bring information that Grant, having sent 6,000 troops from Holly Springs to Memphis, it was believed that a large portion of his force would join McClernand's expedition. Blythe's cavalry drove the Yankees into their trenches at Memphis, and captured and brought off 200 head of cattle. Rosecrans wrote North that he was about giving Bragg a terrible thrashing. Our troops are elated at Bragg's success.

uart or ubiquitous Morgan. A correspondent of the Mobile Register gives the following interesting particulars of his brilliant achievements in the vicinity of Holly Springs, Miss: Van-Dorn took a by-way and meandering route through the swamp, and came within eight miles of Holly Springs in the evening, where he bivouacked hisHolly Springs in the evening, where he bivouacked his force until two hours before day, when he moved cautiously into town, leaving the Texas brigade upon the heights outside as a reserve. As our forces dashed in from all sides, the entrance proved a complete surprise, the breaking streaks of daylight showing the Yankee tents with their yet undisturbed slumberers. A charge was orde noble woman insisted that he was there, concealed; and finally, after much ado, the gallant (save the mark!) Colonel Murphy, the intrepid Yankee Commandant of Holly Springs, was pulled out from under his bed, and presented himself in his nocturnal habiliments to his captors.

A pocket full of Greenbacks. --A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser, writing from Grenada, Miss, says: The success of Van-Dorn's recent raid into Holly Springs continues to be the chief topic of conversation. I learn this morning that several mules, packed with quinine, morphine, and other valuable medical stores, have come in. The Texas troops got possession of a large quantity of "greenbacks," and amused themselves by tearing them into shreds and lighting Yankee cigars with one hundred dollar greenback bills. I am reliably informed that the commissary of a Texas regiment has $300,000 of Yankee funds, and that there are $200,000 at headquarters. The mail bug which contained Grant's headquarters mail was captured, and in it a large amount of Northern newspaper correspondence. Advertiser,

, and sent off in the ambulances to Franklin. Their ambulances, wagon train, and ammunition train stampeded and left them without ammunition. The loss of the enemy I estimate at 110 killed, 300 wounded, and 2,200 prisoners, who surrendered as many fine new Enfield rifles and cartridge boxes. Our own loss is 30 killed and 125 wounded--nearly all in Armstrong's and Whitfield's brigades. Among the killed we mourn Col. Earl, of the 31 Arkansas, one of our most fearless and experienced officers, who fell while leading his, regiment against the enemy in strong position upon the hill.--And the whole command is called upon to mourn the loss of our gallanted officer, Capt. Watson, of Gen. Armstrong's staff, who was instantly killed while leading a charge of one of his regiments. Capt W. is a son of Judge Watson, of Holly Springs, Miss., and leaves a bereaved wife to lament and deplore her loss. Parson Clouch, Chaplain of Jackson's brigade, was also killed while behaving most gallantly.

s point, and they are now in full retreat for Yazoo . A special to the Appeal, dated Panola, 19th, says the Federals engaged in the raid upon Hernando have retreated. The report of their having abandoned the Memphis and Charleston road is untrue the old troops being replaced by new ones, and the old garrison taken to Memphis. The Mobile and Ohio railroad has been abandoned from Jackson Tenn., to Columbus, Ky. Five hundred cavalry have crossed the Coldwater, 62 miles northeast of here, and moved towards Holly Springs. The Appeal learns of no new movements at Port Hudson. Banks has fallen back to his fortified camps, and manifests no disposition to advance.--Deserters continue to come in, and all report dissatisfaction in their camps. The fleet continues outside. The two vessels above have been slowly steaming up the river. --They landed and cut down a few poles of the telegraph line, carrying off the wire below Natchez. The damage was quickly repaired afterwards.

The Monitor fleet-reports from Havana Jackson, April 29. --A special to the Appeal gives news from the Chicago Times, of the 14th. It says there will be no immediate resumption of hostilities at Charleston. The entire Monitor fleet will be sent to the Mississippi. Burnside has issued an order desirring that all persons within the Federal lines, who are benefiting the Confederates shall, on conviction, suffer death. Carrington, at Indianapolis, has issued a similar order. It was reported at Havana that Com. Wlikas had been arrested and paroled for firing into a Spanish steamer. Also, that Admiral Milue had ordered the arrest of Wlikes for being, with the Vanderbiltle crew engaged in the Peterhoff affair. Gov. Curtis offers 10,000 militia to protect Washington from a thousand Yankees, near Harnando. [So reads the dispatch, defying intelligible interpretation.] It is believed that the enemy are advancing on Holly Springs from Corinth.

the vandal soldiery.--Children were shot at in crossing the yard. Houses were searched and desolated — relies of the past and absent were utterly shattered, and the sanctity of the family altar and fireside were invaded without the warning of a moment. Finclosures were torn down and burned, and for forty miles around houses stood naked to the view, and cattle trampled where the rose bloomed. The prisoners were at last forwarded northward They were marched on foot thirty miles, to Holly Springs, without food of any sort till the next day. The treatment there was similar to that at Oxford — probably worse. And so through all the changes. After being kept on the Mississippi river twenty-five days, crowded to suffocation, half fed, and extorted upon even to the article of medicine, with disease and death around and among them, they were at last landed at the old State penitentiary at Alton, Illinois. So gloomily did the prospect affect them that more than a hundred plunged
