There are conflicting rumors at Corinth con
cerning the fate Of Col. Elliott, Of the cd Iowa
cavalry, who was, it will be recouected, sent |
on the 29th ult to destroy the bridge Oh the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad, sixty miles below |
Corinth.
One 1umor Is that the job was accomplished
in accordance with the original programme,
and another tlat he was attacked, his con-
mand badly cut up, and finally captured by
| the retreating rebels. It is not known, to
outsiders at least, which Of these rumors are
| true
I It has been asccrtalaed at headquarters that
| at no time since the Investment Of Corinth
has Bcauregnrd bad an army exceeding G0,00o
| men, including the leyies under the conscrip-
| tion act, nearly half Of whom were unaTmed.
| Two days before the evacuation. Gen. Price
with 25, 600 men, ret1eated in the direction Of
! Grand Junction. Gen, Pope With his division,
and large cavalry force, Immediately started
| in pursuit. It is understood that a large force
! proceeded to Grand Junction at once.
The allotment commissioners from the
| State Of Wisconsin have secured from tie 18th
Wisconsin SC, 100, and from the 7th Wisconsin
battery 81 go per month.
There is prospect Of 4 resumption Of hos
tIlities in the country back of Hickman. Last
night one Of our pickets west Of the town
vas shot. Troops will be sent in that direc-
tion Immediately.
Brigadier General Dodge, one Of the heroes
Of Pea Ridge, arrived in town this morning.
There has been no arrival since mocning
from Pittsburg Landing, and no further intel
ligencc from Corinth. An officer who left
Corinth last Saturday, tells ME that up to that
time not prisoner was captured, excepting q
few stragg1ers and deserters, and that these
| would not lumber hundred men.
General Mitchell and staff arrived at Cairo
this morning
Col. Daniels Of the 1st Wisconsin cavalry,
left Cairo to-day. The gallant Colonel is e8-
pounding the gospel according to Ahram to
: the eecessionists in Missouri with wonderful
SUCCESS. He does not wait to introduce him
/ | self before he attacks, but he moves with the
rapidity Of the wind, and his blows fall thick
+ | and heavy.
