Scouts came into camp today with three
officers of the rebel army, captured in the
neighbprhoUd of Charleston. The prisoners
report that they belong to the advance portion
of Pillows force. They say that Pillow re-
turned TO New Madrid on Sunday evening.
These reports are corroborated by our scouts.

route for the use of soldiers.
Pillows movement down the river was in

anticipated, however. A large force Of rebel

are around Charleston, said 10 belong to Pill

Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
CAIRO, Tuesday, Aug. 1873 P. NJ
Up to this morning it seemed settled that
Gen. Pillow had evacuated New Madrid but
fishes his return, and makes his movement a
feint, as he certainly took his force on board
tie steamers and went down the river, but re-
turned the same night-Sunday evening. He
released on Saturday night several OF our
scouts, taken prisoners, and with the nten.
tion, it is believed, OF having them bring TO
our lines the news of his movement towards
Memphis, which they did. He is again at
New Madrid. The country in the vicinity of
Charleston is full OF his scouts.
Sergeant Carson of Chicago, now an order

scouts from Pillows army. They are Ser
geant +. A. Gayden of Montgomery's Missis

sionists one Il man named Jake Goodin, more
tamlliariy known as "Biackhawk," residing
near Charleston, who has been prominent in
the prosecution of Union men, and the other
is ID. ID. Harris, who lives near Birds Point.
All were finely armed and mounted, and their
capture by Carson is deemed most brilliant
act. They say they were Il portion of Pill
lows advance, and our own scouts corrobor-
ate it.
The gun boats are lying at Mound City.
The Conostega, Capt. Duble, will prove the
fastest steamer on tile river. The three carry
sixteen heavy guns, mostly 32's six of the
guns are GAS. They will serve under Com
modore Rodgers as river guard. Their sail.
ing masters are old and experienced river cap
tains. For scouting and covering the landing

tremely useful.
