"He destroyed the track in many places both south

eToyed the switch and track, burned up the depot
and locomotives, and train of % cars loaded with
supplies of every kind, destroyed 10000 stand of
small arms, three pieces o. artillery, and a great
quantity of clothing and ammunition, and paroled
2,o00 prisoners, which hs could not keep with his
cavalry.
"The enemy had heard of bis movements, and had
train OF box cars, and fiat cars with flying art-
ey and 5000 infantry running up and down the
road to prevent him from reaching it. The whole
road was lined with pickets FOR several days. Col
Ello,,s command subsisied upon meat alone, such

dispatch tbs expedition has been distinguished in
the highest degree, and entities Col. Elliott and his

embarrassing to the enemy, and contribute greatly to

The recently pDblishei card Of army newspaper
correspondents gives erroneous impression that
Ger Halleck prohibited the reporter of the New

influence over the Associated Press dispatches, and
srsses only such items az OF . contraband char

buned the Cypress Creek railroad bridge by mieap-
pteenson, causing the destruction OF Sven locomo-
