last reports that General Lane had just made an attack
the rebels, but he knows nothing Of the
result Tie says that when ten miles distant
from Sarcoxie he still heard cannonaaing ( This
story secms altogether improbable, General Lane
only left Hermansvie, in Hickory county eighty miles
north Of sarcoxie on Sunday morning and is hardly
possible that he could have reached that place short
time; but scout who arrived here last night reports
that when six miles from Sarcoxe the Mount Vernon
road he heard artillery firing from three O'Clock till dark
Monday, and that the firing rapid. He also heard
firing on Tuesday morning. This scout learned nothing
Of the result between what parties the engagement
took place.
