reported there that Hindman had been
released from prison and was still in
command of The t7oeps, who we're repre-

Springs, for Holly Springs.
A gentleman from the South, yester-
day, reports that the Confederates had
been furnished with an accurate list of
all the persons taking the oath in Mem
phis. Up to Tuesday night last, they
had all business houses in Memphis spot
ted except eight, and they propose max
ing raids into the city as soon as they
learn whether Gen. Sherman intends
banishing prescribed families.
They intend, when they come, to burn
the city, except eight business establish

friends and symPathizers. They do not
expect to be able to hold the place, there
fore they won't attempt it, but they will
burn the houses and take all persons
prisoners on their list.

which the ~cowardly and corrupt editors
of the Grenada Vppeal Swallowed forth
