The movements at Cairo continue active. An
important reconnaissance in force was made i'm
the Deighborhood of Columbus, and at the same
time there was gunboat skirmish. Our Padu

bonus. This he refused to do. but that his son.
whom he sent to collect the money. was required
and did pay to the brother of the Governor $500
before he could get his claim allowed. We think
the Holman committee might find profitable EN-
ployment for few weeks in this locality.
