ward, in order to try and recapture Nashville or even Vicksburg. He wished in that case that Burnside should come to Chattanooga, so as to allow Rosecrans to follow up the enemy, and that Grant should take his troops by railway to meet Bragg as far as Tuscumbia. There was nothing practical except the last part of this Vol. IV.-7 plan. Once at Tuscumbia, Grant would at last have been enabled to give Rosecrans the co-operation which the latter had so vainly demanded up to that time. But Hurlbut at Memphis had only a few troops, and could not lead them beyond Corinth. The rest of the army, commanded by Sherman in the absence of Grant, who was ill at New Orleans, was near Vicksburg, while the despatches, carried by steamboats, reached it only very slowly. On the 18th, Sherman received Halleck's orders: time was required to prepare for their execution. Reinforcements were also requested of Schofield, who had a command in Missouri, and of Pope, who was watching the Indians on the f

any 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 his three cavalry brigades along that line and watches the crossings on the Wolf River, an important stream which flows from Grand Junction to Memphis, and of which the railway follows the left bank. The principal stations are fortified, and in the last-named city Hurlbut holds himself in readiness promptly to bring forward his infantry on any point menaced by the enemy. Forrest counts for his expedition on the mounted brigade of Tennesseeans recently raised by General Richardson; this command, estimated at two thousand men, is reduced, however, by desertions to two hundred and fifty combatants. 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 p

Col. McNeil, who recently marched into the St. Louis State Journal office with 400 men, and suppressed the paper, was shortly after met on the street by Mr. Kaiser, a German citizen, and soundly thrashed. The Nashville Gazette asserts that Andrew Johnson has so far recovered from the wounds he received while making his escape from East Tennessee, as to be able to take his seat. The New York Times says that Hurlbut was turned off from that paper because he turned against the Republicans, but that if President Davis hangs him, a Southern officer must hang for him. The German population of London is 60,000. It is almost as difficult to recover a lost reputation as a lost umbrella. A fire at Milwaukie, Wiz., on the 13th inst. destroyed property to the amount of $25,000. Lincoln's blockade has stopped the cotton mills at Lewiston Falls, Me.

wledge. Their newspapers report it as very heavy. Unquestionably it was greater, even in proportion, than our own, on both days; for it was apparent to all that their dead, left on the field out numbered ours two to one. Their casualties, therefore, cannot have fallen many short of 20,000 in killed, wounded, prisoners and missing. Through information derived from many sources, including the newspapers of the enemy, we engaged on Sunday the Divisions of Generals Prentice, Sherman, Hurlbut, McClernard and Smith, of 9,000 men each, or at least 45,000 men. This force was reinforced on Sunday night by the Divisions of Generals Nelson, McCook, Crittenden and Thomas, of Major General Buell's army, some 25,000 strong, including all arms. Also, General L. Wallace's Division of General Grant's army, making at least 33,000 fresh troops, which, added to the remnant of General Grant's forces — on Monday morning amounting to over 20,000--made an aggregate force of some 53,000 men, at le
