The great fire which was seen up the river
from this point last night Was, the burning Of
TIC Tennessee Rolling Mills some four miles
from here, By our gunhoats. The works have
been used By the rebels in the manufacture Of
shot and shell, and other material Of war. It
was an extensive concern.

information.
Floyd's brigade, when taking their depart

them filling into our hands, as they expected
to be caught by our gun boats. Their arms
were Mimic rifles Of the best kind. The

Lay, as the rebel authorities were drafting the
