just at what point it is not known. The
number of rebels at Holly Springs is said
to be 10000. The conscription act is vlg
orouslv enforced in the south. An officer
from Vicksburg says every man under 80
IS in the army.
An arrival from Bolivar and jackson,
says it was reported at Jackson, on what
seemed good authority, that Price was on
the Hatchie with $4,000 men, marching in
the direction of Bolivar. This rumor is
considered probable.

country, last night, represent the guerrillas
who were lately in camp Midway, between
Germantown and Collierville, has been
