st some squadrons of cavalry of the two parties crossed sabres, a rare occurrence at that period of the war. Toward evening the Federals fell back toward Bolivar, and joined the main body of their forces beyond the town, on the north bank of the Hatchie. Armstrong, seeing the impossibility of taking the enemy by surprise, and that the Federal brigade of Crocker was ready to receive him, made a detour to the west of Bolivar, and crossed the Hatchie lower down, in order to threaten the village ole formed by the causeway and bridges, amid the swamps adjoining the river, would consume much time. In order to accomplish this movement, it was necessary to detain Hurlbut at Davies' Bridge, and prevent him from ascending the left bank of the Hatchie to seize Crum's Mill, or from crossing to the right bank to menace the road followed by the convoy toward Boneyard. This was the most pressing, for Rosecrans' attack was as yet but a remote peril. Consequently, after Price's two divisions had

thereafter two brigades—one of cavalry under Mizner, the other of infantry under Mower—which were at Corinth start toward the north-west to bar the passage to Forrest as soon as Smith's manoeuvre shall have determined his retreat. Colonel Prince, with several regiments of cavalry, has posted himself to the northward of the Memphis and Corinth Railway to cover the approaches thereto. He has established his headquarters at Sommerville, and pushes his outposts as far as the left bank of the Hatchie. Thomas gave on the 20th the order to General Cook, who commanded the second cavalry division of the Army of the Cumberland, to quit Huntsville with his two brigades, leaving the care of guarding the railways to Sherman's troops, and to move rapidly toward the north-west, via Prospect on the Elk River, to head off Forrest if he should cross the Tennessee River. The time has come for the latter quickly to return to the State of Mississippi. He has collected nearly four thousand men, we

ould not be transported. They also burned the cotton, of which the breastworks were constructed. The flotilla cast off at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, and were followed by the transports carrying the Forty-sixth Indiana, Col. Fetch, who now occupy the works, which are said to be of great strength, and if properly manned could have successfully resisted a large force. The rebels after leaving the fort destroyed the pontoon bridge which they had constructed some weeks since over the Hatchie river. When the De Soto, which last arrived from the fleet left, the gunboats had passed the fort and gone down the river. It is reported that the rebels have evacuated Fort Randolph. If this is the case, nothing can prevent the fleet from arriving at Memphis to day. Paducah, June 6.--Colonel Noble, commanding at this post, with nearly his entire command, are under marching orders for down the river, and will leave to-morrow. From Beauregard.

From Mississippi. Granada, Aug. 15. --Logan's command, about 5,000 strong, has fallen back to Hatchie river, on the other side of Bolivar, Tenn. Three thousand Yankees have been sent from Brownsville to Fort Pillow. One hundred Yankees occupy Hickman, and 1,200 are at Columbus, Ky. Their command at Memphis has certainly been weakened by sending reinforcements up the river, probably for Buell.

dy river with 15,000 men. The railroad is in full possession of the rebels. No trains can pass to Nashville. The draft will be enforced on the 1st of September. Foreigners who have voted on their first paper, claiming exemption from draft, are arrested and pressed into service. A dispatch from Memphis, dated August 22d. say: "A guerilla band, numbering 500, came within ten miles of the city yesterday, and destroyed large quantities of cotton and the bridges over Wolf and Hatchie rivers. Five new companies were recently raised in West Tennessee. It is much feared that a band of guerrillas are depredating in the vicinity of Mound City, in Adair county, Mo. "Col. McCullough, of Porter's guerrillas, was sentenced to death as a traitor and shot. Also, fifteen guerrillas, accused of breaking their parole." Gov. Gamble, in a speech at St. Louis, declared that guerrillas are robbers and murderers, and he would treat them as such. The Yankee account of Morgan'

said to be killed. U. S. Grant, Major-General Commanding. A dispatch from Cairo, dated the 7th, says: As yet we can only state the general results of the fighting at Corinth. Skirmishing commenced on Sunday last, and there has been more or less fighting every day since. The rebel loss is about eight hundred killed and from one thousand five hundred to one thousand eight hundred wounded. We have one thousand five hundred prisoners at Corinth and three hundred on the Hatchie river, and more constantly coming in. We have taken several thousand stand of arms, thrown away by the rebels in their flight. They are mostly new and of English make. Our loss, it is believed, will be three hundred killed and one thousand wounded. Many houses in the town were badly shattered by shot and shell. On Sunday General Ord drove the enemy five miles over hills and through woods and valleys, the rebels taking advantage of every wood for their infantry, and every hill for their

The Seventh Missouri, First Kansas, and a Wisconsin regiment, reached the break in the road, disembarked from the cars, marched to the scene of action, and cut their way through the enemy's lines and entered Corinth just as the battle closed Price withdrew to the deep cut in the Memphis and Charleston Road, and remained there till after dark Saturday 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 hi

d find him their inexorable foe. A fight occurred at Fort Pickering night before last between the Third United States Colored Artillery and a white regiment, resulting in the death of several negroes and one white soldier. The fight grew out of a disagreement about rations. Both of the regiments belonged to the garrison of the fort. General Dana left Vicksburg yesterday. The river is still rising. General Washburne has issued an order permitting steamboats to navigate the Hatchie river to bring out the produce of the country, but he will not allow them to take up supplies. From the Lower Potomac. The steamer Don, flagship of the Potomac Yankee flotilla, arrived at Washington, on the 11th instant, from the lower Potomac and Chesapeake. The Don has been very active lately, and has taken part in several raids in the enemy's country. Having received information that a party of rebels, said to be composed partly of sailors, intended to cross over into Marylan
