penalty Of death
The Bulietin says: We learn from those in

applies only to persons within the Federal lines

lowing warning note from Picayuns Butler,

To the Editors Of Pieayune:
GENTLEMEN: There is in the city, and you
have had in your Office, an extra, which sets
right all the news from Richmond to July 2.
Why desire to publish false intelligence, as is

CAVALRY SKIRNnsH AT RPLEY.-A consid-
cradle force of the enemy's cavalry, who made
their appearance ct Ripley, Miss, were attacked
by a portion of Gen. Chalmers command, on
Monday last, and after a sharp contest forced
to retreat, after suffering considerable less. Our
own casualties were slight. Il seems as if every
attempt to advance in Mississippi, blythe enemy,
is made a failure by her brave sons, who have
determined her soil shall be desecrated as little
as posible. The repulse at Ripley was, we are
assured, a very decided one.

fishes the following dispatch from President
Davis to a Mississippi friend:

A long succession Of most brilliant victories
has relieved our capital of the enemy. Isaac
is safe, though he has been much exposed, and
many OF his comrades have fallen. Our army
has fought in a manner worthy of their Just
cause, and God, has given them power over a
much more numerous host.
