most valuable and saleable articles for the
use of the army-a preparation of medicines
that has stood the public test for more than
twenty years, and has become familiar in
every household. This article, a. PERRY
DAvIs's VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER needs
no introduction; every body knows it: the

Coughs, Colds, Slight Wounds, or Bruises,
and many other ailments Incidental to
soldiers life 1t is light and convenient to
carry, and can be resorted to on the march,
as we'll as in camp, without trouble. Being
used both internally and externally, its
value cannot be over estimated in fact,
the soldiers want it and must have it, and
to keep such an article is the duty of every
sGtler. Il is sold at wholesale by Ed

extract copied by him from the Grenada
Appeal, just received at Memphis as the
Woodford ieft We are quite confident it
will prove like the report of the capture of
General Curtis command, rebel canard,
manufactured TO inspiresthe waning hopes
of the rebels:
VIcKsBURe, July l5.-The most brilliant
of all naval engagements in the history of
the world has just transpired The Coufed-
crate gunboat Arkansas, IL guns, Capt. J.
N. Brown, formerly of the q. s. steamer
Niagara, left the mouth of Yazoo this morn
ing at six o'clock, encountering the enemy's
gunboats from The mouth to The main heet
of 80 boats lying just above the city, where
they were formed into line of battle to
meet her. Running steadily through, arm
ing and firing into everything as she passed,
sinking several and damaging others. The
enemy's loss is not known; mary Jumped
overheard from one OF the exploded gun
boats, and were drowned. The destruction
of the enemy was undoubtedly immense
The Arkansas now lies in safely under the
guns at he landing, where Capt. Brown
and his gallant crew we're warml welcOm-
ed, and the dead and wounded were well
cared for. The enemy soon opened furi-
Gus FIRE on the boat and city from both
fleets, without any important result. The
Arkansas is a triumphant success, but
slightly damaged and will soon be 10 pur-
suit of the pnemy's boats. She will soon
clean out the feet. Within the last hour
the lower feet has flsd, tranports and all
first blowing up one of their mortar boats.
Capt. Brown as slightly wounded 10 the
head Gems. Van Dorm, Breckinridge and
Smith are here, and there is great rejoicing
throughout the army at SO wonderful an
achievement.

MOVEMENTS OF THE SOUTHERN ARMY.

The Memphis Bulletin of the 18th learns
from the Geneda Appeal of a late date
that the COnfederates, in considerable force,
are moving upon Nashville, and we have
confirmation of it in the dispatches in our
columns this morning. Murfreesboro, ac-
cording to the dispatches, was as good as in
the hands of Gen. Forrest. 1t is iutimated
that the next move will be upon Nashville.
1t is understood that Beauregard has been
shelved by Davis, and that Generals Price
and Bragg are in command of the South
ern army. The movements of Morgan in
Kentucky, and Forrest in Tennessee, there
fore, may be significant of an advance of
the Southern army. # not they will be
speedily forced to fall back to their former
position. F

procecdsi from an 'Xcited gentleman IN the

cited cla1ueur Of Mr.. Lindsay was Mr. Mason,
Commission er in waiting OF The Conioundcd

REBEL FORCES IN TESNEssEE.-In his message
Of February 20 to the rebel legislature Of Ten
nessee, Gov. Harris says that he had organized
since May, 1861, fifty mine regiments q infantry,
one regiment OF cavalry, eleven cavalry bat.
talions, and twenty independent companits
principally artillery. This is equal to about
sixty seven regiments, and upon the liberal
estimate OF six hundred TO regiment, would
make force Of 40,2OO men, which is five per
cent. of the total white population of Tennes-
see. It ia not probable that that State ever
had 80 many as 10000 men iu military service
at any one time.
We observe, in this connection, that unless
some advances is made upon the enemy in that
quarter very soon, his reported numbers will
assume proportions truly fearful 1t was said
q week ago that be had 10000 at Corinih and
an equal number at Decatur, and il is Dow
said that upoa the whole of bis new line from
Decatur to Island No. 10, he has 100000 We
presume that some Of the spies who reported
upon bis numbers last winter at Manassas, have
been transferred TO this new field OF service Ia
Tennessee.
Where these 200, 900 men came from ia moi
stated. That they cannot come, in any consd
erabls degree, from Mississippi, Alabama ant
Louisiana, Is apparent from an inspection o
the census tables, while Arkansas and Texa
are fully occupied with preparations to rcsis
