Siirkveport. La. Oct. 3 18114.
Editor UMiu Urrald:K recent teller
received from the t'is-Mississippi Deport-
ment furnishes Ihe following news iiems re-
garding lite Yankee expedition to Clinton
Ln. and Wheeler's operations in rear of
Sherman :
The Yanks advanced on Clinton from Ba-
ton Rouge Port Hudson Nalchet and Mor-
ganxa I .i0i III strong scattering Scoll s
small force ol only 12iH)nien. They accom-
plished uoihing save stealing some cotton
and negroes iinddestriiclion of slock. Scott
huiTiisscd them on their retreat killing and
wounding I "! capturing 100 prisoners.
Our loss 30 lo 50 only 4 killed. Scotl sent
his artillery lo the river to iniercepl their
iriinsdnrts eoiuz un. He was a little loo
bite 7 had passed but llnee were behilfd.
He opened on llieui blew one up nnd so
crippled the uthers as lo compel their re-
tceat. Loss supposed to have been s vere.
Hood s official dispatch of Wheeler's ope-
rations in lenr of Sherman gives Ihe fol-
lowing summary. He destroyed three im-
portant bridges" qlew up Tunnel Hill des-
troyed 25 miles of railroad truck captured
Ilii.il un ; also destroyed 200 car loads of
commissary stores completely b diking up
Sherman s c immunisation and line of sup-
plies. This may account for Shermans
sudden return lo Atlanta. The order of
Sherman sending all Ihe cilixens of Atlan-
ta south and into his own lines wns severe-
ly deuuuuccd by Hood who granted ten
d'ays truce for llicir delivery. They arriv-
ed in sad plight causing great indignation
to be felt in Ihe army at the outrageous cru-
elty or Sherman. This inhuman proceeding
but adds one more dark slain to the already
polluted flag of ihe United Slates.
The luteal intelligence from Petersburg
places both armies facing each other at
Reams' Station on the Weldon Railroad
and a battle of the most sanguine and des-
perate character was daily expected.
Hampton's cavalry made a dash into the
enemy 's lines near Sycamore Church Prince
George county Vn. capturing 251)0 fat
beeves 300 prisoners horses and wago s
getting away safe with llie spoils. The
Yanks made nn effort lo cut him off but
were handsomely repulsed. No very reeent
news from Georgia of a reliable nature.
Late Northern papers stale that Iron
Mountain nnd Pilot Knob Mo. are in pos-
session of Shelby ; that ''e burned an impor-
tant bridge within UO miles of St. Louis mid
stilt advancing.
Maj. Gen. Magrinler has piiblish'dacon-
gratulntory order on Gen. Shelby's recent
victories on the Little Rot k Ii. R. which
sum up 5 forts captured 577 prisoners 250
federals killed and wounded 10 miles rail-
road track destroyed witn bridges and tres-
tle work 3000 hales of hay 20 hay machines
destroyed a large amount of arms ammu-
nition and clothing captured. His loss 173
killed and wounded.
From below Ihe Yanks advanced on Ihe
Atoliafalayu but were met and driven back
by Terrcl's cavalry nf'icr some severe fi lilt-
ing. Thomas' La. Brigade) of Vieksburg
prisoners recently exchanged haV go"8
below to resist any further attempt of the
Yanks lo advance.
Grierson with cavalry and infanlry has
come lo re n force Steele. Forrest being
thus relieved in North M ssissippi is report-
ed ns going to tlio rear of Sherman wilhhiB
command.
Such are the latest news items'condenscd
from telegrams and letters of the present
military status of the country. Wo may
look for some stirring scenes in the nreat
diama within the next few weeks. Under
recent victories gold has declined in New
York lo 222.
McClellan's letter of acceptance to the
Chicago Convention has caused great sen-
sation at ihe North. He is out for re-construction
or a continuance of the war. The
peace element of Ihe Convention have
thrown him overboard as well as many in-
fluential journals. Thus Ihe poliliral ele-
ments of the Norlh are in the ul mom confu-
sion while llie South is informed that she
must shake hands with her deadly enemies
embrace the serpen! which has wound
his spiral folds about her to crush her to
dehtb become abject slaves and serfs to a
vile despotism or continue ihe struggle for
her freedom and independence. We accept
t.ie issue. Far preferable death externa-
tion annihilation to a fellowship with such
blood-stained anil vindictive Ines as the
Northern people have shown themselves to
be. Thus peace which seemed about to
find a resting place in our distracted land
lias once more spread her white wings and
flown weeping away. beta oheqa.
The Richmond Examiner h is a confirma-
tion of Ihe report that Mushy hung thirty
Yankees whom he caught burning residen-
ces in Clark county.
