Headquarters are still at Memphis, Mo,

a. m, and reached this station at half
past D. M The train came past at the
proper time, was duly signalled by the
agent, but the conductor only partially
checked the speed of his train, and called
on me to run ahead to get on. He tried
my speed 800 yards, and / must confess
the ''iron horse" was then sensibly gain
ing, so / caved and came back to this
place, and ain recruiting for another race
to-day.
The rebels about Memphis still continue
guerrilla warfare without any important
results, only for the last few days the
game has been in favor of the Union
cause, our men having left at least one, if
not two, rebels "taking their last long
sleep"
We have had Numerous false alarms at
day and night. But on last Sunday night
several rebels really concealed themselves
and fired on our pickets, the pickets re-
turning the fire. This was done three
times during the night, and in one of
those alarms musket was accidentally
discharged of two or more balls, that
struck Captain Murray on the right lee
below the knee, shattering the bone 10
pieces 1t has since been amputated -
But this accident, serious as it was, did
n OF prevent Lieut. Colonel Holmes, for

party and following the rebels several
miles at night The rebels thought them

their shot guns at hand, but were sudden

One on guard made his escape. The re-
suit is, four prisoners lodged in Jail, five
horses, FIVE shot guns, and one revolver
captured.
The large body of rebels have gone
south of the railroad, but there are still
something near five hundred dispersed in
small squads, mostly in Schuyler county,
Mo. They seem to have places designa-
ted for a rendezvous; then we hear OF
three or four hundred together, then they
disperse into small parties again, So goes
