Van-Dorn's Recent Exploits — Memphis not Attacked.
Mobile, Dec. 29.
--A special to the Advertiser dated Granada 28th, says Van-Dorn captured and paroled over 2,300 prisoners, destroyed over $3,000,000 worth of Federal stores, burnt a thousand bales of cotton, took 1,000 army revolvers, 5,000 stand of small arms, horses and mules, and a large amount of other property.
Van-Dorn did not go in the vicinity of Memphis, as it was too strongly fortified and garrisoned, and for the same reason he avoid Bolivar; but captured all their pickets and burnt the bridges and trestle work on all the railroads necessary for their line of communication.
Our loss was not over thirty.
Forrest did not attack Jackson, but has been tearing up the railroad track and doing good service generally Van-Dorn's whole force was 2,750 men. The reported attack on Memphis was a partisan ranger raid, which gave the Yankees a big scare.
