ATLANTA, July ls.-Murfresboro, Tennessee,
was captured, on Sunday morning last, from
the Fcderas by General Forests command of
Confederate troops. A courier, who arrived
at Chattanooga on Wednesday night. reports
the facts: That Gen Forrest attacked the Fed
erals in Murfresboro on Sunday Morning, kill
ing and wounding some 200 of them, and cap-
turing the balance of the garrison, numbering
some 1900 or 1900, including five pieces Of
artillery, all the enemys camp equipago and
stores. Our loss was five men killed. No
wounded reported.
Another account says that "the town was
taken, after severe fighting, with considerable
loss on both sides. The Federal Gen. Critten.
den was among the prisoners taken" The
forces on both sides were nearly equal at the
time of the recapture. We learn, however,
that there has been an uprising of the people
Of that section of Middle Tennessee. which
bids fair to largely add to the numbers of our
forces.
Later.-A gentleman direct from Murfres-
boro, says that Colonel Forrest, with 1000
cavalry, entered that place on Sunday last at
a. m. The fight lasted five hours. More
than hundred Yankaes were killed and a
large number of prisoners .capturcd-Genera
E. Is. Crittenden among the number. Our
loss was about 25 killed and some wounded.
Colonel Forrest burned up three locomotives
and their trains; also e5 wagons all laden with
stores. lie also burned the depot, which was
filled with commissary stores, and captured
495 mules and horses; also battery of four
brass pieces. The Yankee soldiers were pa.
rolled The officers have been sent to Cbatta.

two regiments and two generals have been
captured. Nashville is threatened and may
fall, since we are III for run of bad luck
Baton Rogue has been re-captured and portions
of three regiments, fifteen hundred men in all,
surrendered with it. Curtis if we are to believe
Southern accounts, has recently lost thou

This is not pleasant state of things, but it
was rendered possible when Gen. Halleck de-
cfded to 60 into summer quarters with his ar
my. Had the campaign continued vigorously,
we should not have heard of the Confederates
being near Nashville. IF We do not attack
them they undoubtedly will us, and we must
expect series of reverses until our Western
army again assumes the defensive.

The establishment of the above hospital has
been rendered necessary and imperative from
the great number of sick and wounded men
en- roate for their homes from Richmond and
other points where our soldiers arc stationed
On reaching Kingsville, the wounded require
their wounds attended to- frequently having to
stay over from twelve to twenty-four hours
hence, few places are more important to extend
aid to our noble defenders than this place.
We, therefore, rejoice that the much needed
steps have been taken to relieve the sick and
alleviate the wounded. We earnestly appeal to
our citizens to supply the articles indispcnsa-
BILE for such a hospital. Lint, rags, old sheets,
and anything that will answer for bandagcs.
Also, whatever can be needed for their nourish-
inent-chickens, flour, rice, sugar, fruit &C.
We know full well that our friends and neigh
bors have been liberal in their contributions
heretofore, but let us continue in the GOOD
work, as VIC have begun; and prefer depriving
ourselves of home comforts, to aid those who
have sacrificed so much to gain our indepen-
dence. Let all show a liberal spirit, and con-
tribute according to their ability. Our coun-
try friends can spare much from their farms
and orchards that will be duly appreciated
The Soldiers Aid Society will take pleasure in
forwarding anything sent to them for the above
object Contributors will please send their do

rived to request permission for their gunboats
to pass our batteries az Vicksburg and Baton
Rogue unmolcsted, and that they will evacuate
New Orleans and the river. 1t is said that
Gen. Van Dorm has refused the request, for he
says that before two months he shall have the
whole of the Yankee fleet between Vicksbure
aud Baton Rogue.
Gen. Breckenridge has command of the
troops on the opposite side of the river at
Monroe, La, and is marching to capture the
Yankee batteries over there, and to prevent
supplies reaching the Yankee feet. The whole
OF the Yankee fleet went down the river YES
terday, for the purpose of securing our batter
les at Baton Rogue, but I am happy to say
they have II very poor chance of doing so, as
we have re occupied the batteries on both sides
OF the river and are mounting more guns and
erecting iiew Qualifications. There is no doubt
that we madc a brilliant stragetic stroke in the
recapture of that town. Meanwhile large
light artillery force has been stationed on the
banks Of tile river, with orders to attack all
transports and Yankee boats that attempt to
pass. So YOU see the Yankees have "got their
paw in the wrong pot" this time:
