THE NEWS FROM THE SOUTH.

The Grenada appeal of the 18th contains
thefollouing telegram from Colonel CoLEMAS,
formerly manager of the Telegraph Office in
this city, now on BREcKNgDGE's staff.
"The most brilliant of all the naval victories
in the history of the war has Just transpired.
The Confederate gunboat Arkansas, Captain
j. NJ. BROWN, late of the United States friga.e
Niagara, left the mouth of the Yazoo this
morning about six o'clock, encountering the
enemy's boats from the mouth to the main feet
of thirty boats lying just above the city, where
they were formed into line to meet her, run
ming steadily through, ramming and firing in
to everything as she passed, sinking several
and damaging others. The enemy's loss not
known. Many of them jumped overheard
from one of their exploded boats and were
drowned. The destruction of the enemy was
doubtless immense. The Arkansas now lies
under our guns at the landing. The Staff
welcomed Capital BRowE and his gallant crew
were well cared for. They were invited on
board by the Captain, when the enemy opened
farieus Smelling upon the boat and city from
both fleets
The Arkansas is q triumphant SUCCESS, but
slightly damaged, and will soon be in pursuit
of the eaemy's boats, preparing to clean out
the enemys feet. Since her arrival, within
the last hour, the lower feet has disappeared
and fed, the enemy first blowing up one of
| their mortar boats. Our loss is ten killed and
thirteen wounded. Captain Brown was woun-
ded in the head not seriously. Generals Van
Dorm, Breckenridge and Smith are here; and
there is great rejoicing throughout the army
at SO wonderful an achievement"
COLEMAN.
"vIcKsBURa, July l5th.--Our gun boat
Arkansas has passed the upper feet and now
lies at our wharf, under our guns. Captain
Brown is safe. 1t wss the most brilliant affair
of TIE war;
"MosILE July l5.-Gen. Stuart, last Mon
day, made a circuit of McClellan's position,
reaching James river below him; and opened
FIRE on large feet Of transports, sinking one
and gripping several.
MOBILE, July l5.-Gen. Marcy, chief of
McClellan's staff estimates their loss at thirty
three thousand
Etc, ETC.. etc, etc, etc
In connection with these pretended tele-
grams we have but two remarks to make
Tehy are from the appeal, Of the 18th, and
are dated the 18th. Were they printed in the
paper after it was issued, or, like the taking
| of Baton Rouge, are they manufactured SO
loosely as to carry upon their very face speci-
fcations of their own falsehood. 81 We have no
desire, never did have any, to keep from the
public any news, good or i'll, thai is reliable or
even probable, but automatic lies like these,
manufactured and spread for sinister purposes,
we only publish to expose.

From LouisvIle Democrat July 18th
Yesterday the city was full of rumors of
guerrilla raids. There is no doubt but the
vile suggestion Of marauding bands to rob-
steal, and murder, has been put into practice.
Night before last skirmish took place at
New Hope, between a rebel force under the
notorious Jack Allen, one of Morgans gang,
and some Union troops. They had their re-
yenge however. They went to Lebanon, rob-
bed the Commercial Bank and private bank,
and burned the depot of the railroad, and, it
is said, burned part of the town. bsH
Whittier the gang went, we could not asear-
tain. 1t is reported, on pretty good authority,
that about two hundred of the marauders are
assembled st Garnettsville, in Mead county.
Later news is, that several citizens of I.eba-
non were killnd, and that the guerrillas were
about eighteen hundred strong.
1t is further reported that the robbers were
within q few miles of Danville yesterday,
where, no doubt, the banks will be robbed.
The Nashville train Sid not arrivelast night,
but there is no further news from this line.
The Campbell House and Harris House at
Lebanon were both burned.
! Lieutenant Col. A. 7. johnson, of the 18th
Kentucky, had two companies at Lebanon.
They are said to be taken prisoners, except
Captain Barth and ten of his company, who
escaped.
There is reason to believe that there is q
general uprising of rebels in this State, and we
are prepared to hear more of these robbers and
murderers
The movements to meet the scoundrels we
shall not publish for their benefit. They can
find out to their cost. The case calls for the
most energetic treatment. Men who resort to
such measures are entitled to no sympathy or
mercy. @ @ a6 mlE
We hope Gen. Boyle viii carry out his or
der, and compel the sympathizers to pay the
expenses, and indemnify those who suffer from
these bandits. -
StiII Later, b
Two of those engaged in the fight at New
Hope, arrived last night with dispatches for
Gen. Boyle. 1t is certainty that great por-
ton of Lebanon has been burned, including
the dwelling house of Foster Ray-the finest
house in the town. The postofice was al 70
robbed The names of the citizens of the town
who were killed have not reached us, except
one: We learn that Mr.. Ricketts, was one of
the number. aH sTE snEs
The Mr.. Forman, of Aliens gang, whoswas
mortally wounded st New Hope died about
noon yesterday.
