Longstreet (search for this): article 1
The lines below Richmond. A number of conflicting reports were yesterday in circulation with reference to an engagement which occurred at Malvern Hill early in the morning. It is stated that at 2 o'clock A. M. the enemy attempted to advance a force into Curl's Neck, which was driven back with considerable loss by our forces, comprising a portion of Gen. Longstreet's division.

William Pratt (search for this): article 1
man killed. --A large mass of fulminating powder exploded about 11 o'clock yesterday, in the wooden house used for its manufacture, on Brown's Island, in James river, at the foot of 7th street, and Instantly killed and dreadfully mangled William Pratt, of Washington, D. C., the party engaged in its manufacture. The house was utterly demolished by the force of the concussion, and the fragments scattered far and near. One arm of the unfortunate Pratt was picked up some distance from the scknown how the accident occurred, as the only party who could give any reliable information on the subject, lost his life. This is the third time an explosion of like material, attended with fatal results, has occurred here, and it would appear that no amount of precaution suffices to guard against casualties of such a kind. Michael Goheen, who was aiding Mr. Pratt, but who was not in the building at the time of the supposing, was also severely injured by being thrown down and badly bruised.

Edwin Forrest (search for this): article 1
Yankee outrages in Tennessee. Chattanooga, Aug. 4. --McMinnville, Tenn., was occupied by about 7,000 Yankee troops last Saturday--probably Bull Nelson's division. A detachment of Gen. Forrest's cavalry was in the place Friday, but was smart enough to evade capture. A man who run their lines from McMinnville states that be heard the shrieks of women from almost every house in the town. He thinks that the Yankee command must have been turned loose at will to pillage and outrage. The shrieks were agonizing.
