. Oglesby is dangerously wounded. Gen. McPherson, with his command, reached Corinth yesterday. Gen. Rosecrans pursued the retreating enemy this morning, and, should they attempt to move toward Bolivar, will follow to that place. Gen. Hurlbut is at the Hatchie River, with five or six thousand men, and is, no doubt, with the pursuing column. From 700 to 1,000 prisoners, besides the wounded, are left in our hands. Gen. Orr, who followed Gen. Hurlbut, met the enemy to-day onGen. Hurlbut, met the enemy to-day on the South side of the Hatchie, as I understand from a dispatch, and drove them across the stream, and got possession of the Heights with our troops. Gen. Orr took two batteries and about 200 prisoners. A large portion of Gen. Rosecrans's forces were at Chevalla. At this distance everything looks most favorable, and I cannot see how the enemy are to escape without losing everything but their small arms. I have strained everything to take into the fight an adequate force, and

evening, when he retreated to the hills between the forks of the Hatchie river. There is no doubt but that he intended a further movement in the same direction the next day; but a movement had been made which had effectually cut him off. Gen. Hurlbut had started from Bolivar at two o'clock on Saturday morning, and was now directly in his front, and in possession of the only road leading to Ripley. Gen. Rosecranz also started in pursuit at day-light Sunday morning. Thus Price was all day yesterday between two fires, Hurlbut in his front and Rosecranz in his rear. The roar of artillery was distinctly heard yesterday at 4 P M. at Bolivar and Corinth. What the result is, is not yet known; but I am assured by high official authority that the results are glorious. The rebel dead are strewn along the road for five miles from Corinth to where they had a hospital.--They have lost two general officers. One. lying in the square at Corinth, very much mutilated, hears the descri

ans — that save eleven small regiments under Morgan on the South side of the Cumberland, there were no forces menacing Kentucky. This was the opinion at head quarters. Still there was much turmoil about Kentucky, who is not fully confided in of late, as shown by the summary executions of her citizens under Burnside's order. Reported evacuation of Vicksburg. A telegram from Washington, dated the 19th, to the Philadelphia Inquirer, states that the President had information from General Hurlbut, who had dispatches from General Grant confirmatory of the evacuation of Vicksburg. [This news probably had as favorable an effect on stocks in the United States as the news published here Saturday morning had upon sugar in this market!] Washington Items. Dr. Miller, an old resident of Washington city, was arrested on the 19th, at the instance of the War Department, for uttering disloyal sentiments. When brought before the authorities, he stated that his sympathies were w

y. The waggish Mosby, with part of his gang, on Sunday night, encamped two and a half miles from Upton's Hill, almost within range of the guns on the Washington fortifications. On Sunday afternoon he stopped a funeral procession, on its way from Lewinsville to Washington, and stole the horses attached to the hearse. He afterwards visited Falls Church, and amused himself by taking observations of our new contraband farms. Miscellaneous. A dispatch from Memphis announced that Gen. Hurlbut had sent an expedition to Grenada, Miss., which drove the rebels out of the town and destroyed fifty-seven locomotives and over four hundred cars, belonging to the different Southern railroads concentrating at Jackson. Ex-President Buchanan and suite, en route from Bedford Springs to Wheatland, passed through Harrisburg on Saturday last. After Mr. Buchanan had changed cars, and a few minutes before the train started, a crowd was collected in front of the car be occupied. Just then

rs, if possible. Mitchell will watch the wily rebel cavalryman close, and if he has an opportunity will punish him severely. Some of the knowing ones here seem to think that Wheeler has destroyed Rosecrans's communications, and that he is now going to make a circuit of our southwestern corps in Middle Tennessee, in order to gather information and give us all the trouble possible in cutting the telegraph wires and railroads. This seems to me to be probable; but I know that Sherman and Hurlbut are awake to all these tricks, and will not be caught napping. Our Generals and post commanders have all been warned by couriers of Wheeler's operations, and if they are not prepared to receive him it is the result of negligence on their part. A survey of the damage done to the railroad east from Nashville reveals the mischief done Gen. Rosecrans's direct communications with his base of supplies and operations at Nashville. The track is uninjured. Several unimportant bridges have be

Climax of Tyranny. The order of the Federal General Hurlbut, directing the enrollment of all able-bodied Confederate citizens in the Memphis district in the Federal armies, caps the climax of the hideous cruelties practiced by the most despotism of the earth upon a suffering people. To compel our own people to take up arms against their own brethren is a refinement of cruelty which fills the last drop in the cup of bitterness. Those sections of our country which have thus far escaped being overrun by the enemy may see what they have to expect if they fall into their hands. There is no salvation for them but resistance to the death to the worse than savages who are bent upon destroying us from the face of the earth. We can expect no mercy, no happiness, not a foothold upon the earth, unless we fight these fiends of hell with all the energy of our natures, and mete out to them at every opportunity the same measure they mete out to us.

Flying from Conscription. --The Atlanta Appeal learns that some three or four hundred refuses from Memphis have arrived in Grenada, fleeing from the late order of General Hurlbut, pressing into the Federal service all able-bodied men in that city.

rehand as well as then, and ought to have supplied the needed strength. They knew that Bragg might at any time be reinforced from Virginia, and they should have provided against the contingency. They had the men on the Mississippi. Why were they scattered off over Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana? What was Arkansas to us for a moment, compared with a decisive march to Atlanta? These telegrams of Gen. Halleck do not relieve him. The earliest, ordering reinforcements, is one to Gen. Hurlbut, in Memphis, dated September 13. The fatal battle was fought in one week from that day, and of course he knew it would take weeks for Gen. Sherman's column to reach Chattanooga. The public have the right to say of the General-in- Chief, as he has said of so many of his subordinates, that here was a "fatal error, " a gigantic blunder, which has delayed our decisive campaign, even with all Grant's splendid success forced from fortune since, at least six months, and prevented the capture o

Excitement in Vicksburg. --We learn, says the Meridian Clarion, that Gen. James P. McPherson, commanding at Vicksburg, has issued an order similar to that issued in Memphis by Gen. Hurlbut, conscripting all able-bodied men, including refugees from our lines. This is creating quite a commotion among those subject to military duty, and some are contemplating leaving. We know quite a number there who remain to avoid going into our army, who will now have to show "their hands."
The Daily Dispatch: February 17, 1864., [Electronic resource], Execution of a Confederate soldier by Yankees in Kentucky. (search)
Execution of a Confederate soldier by Yankees in Kentucky. The Cairo News, of the 25th ult, contains an account of the hanging, by order of General Hurlbut, of James W. Love, a member of Capt. Howell Edmond's company of Confederate cavalry. He was hung upon the charge of being a "guerilla," and we copy the account in full: Love was a young man, apparently not more than twenty two or twenty three years of age, and was far from looking the guerilla. He was dressed in Confederate unhorse, and was a private in Edmond's company. He was captured by the 11th Illinois infantry, and taken to Paducah, Kentucky. After remaining there some time, he was sent to Columbus for trial. He confessed to being a member of Edmond's company, but protested that they were not guerillas — It was charged that he deserted from the Confederate army, came home, and turned guerilla. This, however, did not appear in the evidence. The charges brought against him were as follows: 1. Of connect
