Later in 1862 a Texas cavalry brigade was organized in Maury's division, under Lieut.-Col. John S. Griffith, consisting of his regiment, the First legion under Lieut.-Col. E. R. Hawkins, the Third cavalry under Lieut.-Col. J. S. Boggess, the Sixth cavalry under Capt. Jack Wharton, and McNally's battery. They fought a spirited engagement at Oakland, Miss., December 3d. Maury's division reached Vicksburg just as Stephen D. Lee had magnificently repelled the attack of General Sherman at Chickasaw bayou, but the Texans with him were not to be deprived of a taste of battle. On the morning of January 2, 1863, learning that Sherman was removing his troops to the transports, Lee started in pursuit with the Second Texas in front, deployed as skirmishers, supported by two Tennessee and an Alabama regiment. General Lee records the spirited co

advanced as far as Coffeeville, where they were defeated on December 5th by troops under command of Gen. Lloyd Tilghman; the Twenty-third Mississippi, Lieut.-Col. Moses McCarley; the Twenty-sixth, Maj. T. F. Parker; and the Fourteenth, Major Doss, being the principal Confederate forces engaged. In the meantime Hovey was taken care of by Colonel Starke's cavalry and the various outposts, and after skirmishes at the mouth of the Coldwater on the Yockhapatalfa, at Mitchell's Cross-roads and Oakland, he retreated to the Mississippi river, having done little damage except burning some bridges and sinking the steamer New Moon on the Tallahatchie. Grant waited at Oxford for Sherman to make his way down the river, but the latter did not reach Friar's Point with his advance until December 21st, and meanwhile a great change in the situation had been wrought by the Confederate cavalry. On the 19th Nathan B. Forrest, then a brigadier-general, a brilliant soldier in whose exploits Mississippi

onel Hatch, who guards the crossings of Wolf River. The latter, being badly informed, has just concentrated his brigade around La Grange. Forrest, marching in a contrary direction, proceeds toward Memphis. His wagons have come up with him: it is now proposed to find the weak point in the enemy's line. A Confederate officer, Colonel Logwood, who was scouting the country in search of recruits, came to designate it to him very opportunely at the moment when he had reached the village of Oakland. All the bridges across Wolf River had been destroyed save one. That of La Fayette had been preserved for communication with Prince; only a few boards from the flooring had been taken off. They were deposited upon the left bank in front of a little fort which commanded the entrance to the bridge, and were replaced when a force presented itself to cross over. Logwood, who had himself gathered this information, had ascertained the small number of the defenders of this work. Forrest resolv

Affairs in Mississippi. --It appears by a correspondent of the Jackson Mississippian that our forces under the veteran Gen Price have fallen back from Abbeville, as he speaks of the army being in Grenada on the 5th. The men were well clad, well abed, and in fine spirits — making the welkin ring with "Missouri Land." There was a brisk Debt at Oakland, on the Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad on the 3d inst., in which the Texas troops displayed their characteristic bravery, driving back the enemy, and capturing two pieces of artillery, although opposed by a large force. Oxford was the scene of a fierce cavalry combat on the 4th, in which Ballectine's cavalry did noble service. They held a position six hours, fighting as infantry, against an infantry force sent to support the Yankee cavalry, losing some 50 in killed and wounded in the affair. The affair at Coffeeville was a gallant Confederate victory. The enemy was whipped and driven back four miles, and their battery and ab

Broad Rock to-day will prove highly interesting if the weather does not interfere to prevent the sport. Three tried and fast ones, probably Orion, Conductor and Oakland — or, mayhap, Lady Blessington--are to contend for the three mile-heat post-stake, and it will be a good guesser that can name the winner if all are up to the mark. Orion, we hear, has the call in the betting circles, having beaten Oakland and Conductor for the two-mile stake; but should the Eclipse filly, with her telling stride and great strength, take Oakland's place, she may prove more than a match for the favorite. The race, in any event, will be exciting, and, no doubt, attract a lae call in the betting circles, having beaten Oakland and Conductor for the two-mile stake; but should the Eclipse filly, with her telling stride and great strength, take Oakland's place, she may prove more than a match for the favorite. The race, in any event, will be exciting, and, no doubt, attract a large crowd to witness it.

The race was a three-mile-heat posts take, free for all ages; and as Orion, Conductor and Oakland — the contestants for the two-mile stake — were expected to fight their battle o'er, many old tame up well, and receiving the "word," dashed off, Orion in the lead. After going half a mile, Oakland quickened his pace, and soon collaring his leader, passed to the front maintaining his positionh he won handily in 5: 53¾. In the second heat, Orion again led off, Conductor second, and Oakland third. The jockey of Conductor finding that Orion was going for the hear, pulled him to the rear to abide his time, and Oakland taking up the challenge, went up in striking distance, and there remained for two miles and a half, when he answered to the call made on him, gave Orion the go-by, aages, three-mile heats, $2,500 entrance, the proprietor to add $2,000.

Broad Rock Races. --The two-mile-heat poststake, between Ward, Green and McDaniel, is expected to come off at 2 o'clock to-day if the weather is favorable, and will prove interesting to the lovers of the sports of the turf. Lady Blessington, the winner of the mile-heat stake, is the favorite in betting circles, and, from her handsome performances at her debut, is regarded as invincible at short distances. If she is fully herself to-day, she may win; but her competitors are good ones, and will give her work to-day. To-morrow the big match between Oakland and Conductor will be decided.--Each horse has his favorites, and large sums are already staked on the result.
