quantity of other property of not less value than
one million of dollars, have fallen into our hands.
Men only escap ped. The enemy's whole force is
demoralized and dispersed in swamps on the op-
posite side Of the river. The enemy abandoned
their works so hurriedy as to leave all baggage of
officers, knapsaeks of men, their dead unburied,
their suppers on the tables, and candles burning
in their tents A furious thunder storm which
ragged all night, enabled them to get across the
river without being discovered.
Our heavy battery was established during the
night OF the twelfth within eight hundred yards
OF the enemy Is works, and opened at daylight on
the thirteenth, just thirty four hours after the
guns were delivered to US at Cairo.
During the whole day, yesterday our lines
were drawn closer around their works, under a
furious fire OF sixty pieces of artillery; fear OF
an assault on their works at daylight induced
them to flee precipitateIy during the night.
Many prisoners have been taken, and the colors
of several Arkansas regiments.
Our loss is about fifty killed and wounded.

to lay off out of range and drop her shells with
precision into the batteries.
After firing some time the Yankee and Ana
costa hauled off without being struck.

stores, ordnance, &c, from Aqua creek.

Halleck to supersede General Grant, unless he

conduct at Fort Donelson and elsewhere.
Assistant Secretary Fox, who is in Washing
ton, reports the Merrimac badly injured in the
two days fight. She had hole bored in her
hulk by the Monitor. and was leaking very badly
when she put back. The Cumberland's broad
side in the first days fight injured her so badly
that she could not then attack the Minnesota or
Roanoke, although they were both aground.
He thinks that the Minnesota can now, that she
is aioat, handle the Merrimac, she is so slow and
unwieldy. He considers 1t utterly impossible for
her to go to sea, as she would Immediately foun
der in an ordinary gale.
The Merrimac's snout was knocked away by a
ball from eleven inch gun on the Mime
sofa.
Capt Buchanan was wounded BY shot from
a riAeman on board the Cumberland, the ball GO
ing through his thigh
Mr.. Fox says the crew of the Minnesota, as
well as that of the Monitor are eager to see the
Merrimac come out again, but it is not likely
that they will be gratifed.
Com. Stevens, OF the stevens Battery mas
obtained permission from the Secretary of War
to make use of the fifteen inch gun at Fortress
Monroe, to be placed upon his steam propeller
Naugatuck, TO be used in the defense of New

BEEvEs FROM DIFFERENT STATES.
BEEvES.

The market this week has been a bad one for
the drover; the supply has been quite too heavy
for the demand, owing to the movements of spec
ulators based upon the short stock upon the mar
ket two weeks since.
The active market and good prices of the 26th
ult., caused the spectators to 20 out into Ohio
and Illinois to buy up the cattle briskly, these
purchases are here to-day and the operation has
paid loss to the operators.
But few cattle brought 50, and some good
steers sold yesterday at 81 so per cwt. We
quote the decline in prices at 75c@Sl 90 per
cwt. -s f.l
There was some inquiry for working oxen,
with sales at sll0@l50 per pair; about 300
head more sold to go out to the farmers near by,
for summer grazing.
The cattle left over from last week were all
sold by Saturday, excepting about twenty five
head which were offered this week.
On the whole the drover and Spectators par
ticularly the latter, have had a rough experience
this week; some of them say that they are "dead
broke"
The closing sales dragged very heavily, and
it was hard to get the prices named in our table.
