were forwarded on Wednesday, and another
shipment of nearly the same value will be
made to-day.
MEMPHIS, June l2.-The secession sympa-
thizers are becoming more bold daily in the
expression of their sentiment. Union citizens
complain that the rule of Col. Fitch is too len
lent, and that until they are assured of better
protection they cannot avow their sentiments.
The provost marshal requires an oath from all
applicants for passes or for permits to ship
goods. The stringency of its requirements
are such that it has already caused consider
able excitement in the city.
An officer occupying an important position
on one of the railroads running from this city
has just returned from Grenada, Miss. Gen.
Hindman is said to have gone to Arkansas
with the troops of that state after the evacua-
ton of Corinth. Gen. Pope had reached OPP
orlona, and Gen. Beauregard was still retreat
ing. Gen. Price was with him, and JEFF.

thousand men. The rolling stock of the
Memphis and Ohio railroad is all at Pamela
station, this side of Grenada. The post office

From the Shenandoah valley.

WASHINGTON June dam officer who was
at the battle of Port Republic doing duty in
the advance of Gen. Shields brigade, has
just arrived here. He says he received or
ders net to burn the bridge over the Shenan-
doah. Our entire loss in the fight in killed,
wounded, and prisoners did not exceed one
thousand. One hundred and fifty-six of our
men were killed and three hundred wounded.
The regiments engaged in the fight were the
9TH Indiana, and the .57th and 29th Ohio.
Col. Buckley is missing.
1t is ascertained from gentleman who ar
rived to-day from Gen. Fremont's army that
arrangements have been made by which to
promptly furnish them the requisite commits
sorry and guartermaster's stores. The men
had suffered much, not only from forced
marches over mountainous roads but from the
scarcity of supplies. There were, however,
mo serious complaints and they are in cheerful
spirits. Many of the sick and wounded are
comfortably cared fer at Mount Jackson
where the rebels had erected commodious
buildings.
The general plan for subsisting all our
troops in the Shenandoah valley is now COM
pleted and is of vast importance in connec-
ton with future military movements. Capt.
i. W. HURT quartermaster attached to Gen.
Fremonts army has been assiduous in perfect
ngthese arrangements.

From Gen. nanks,s Command.

HARPER's FERRY, June 15.-Gen. Wool,
accompanied by his staff, paid a hurried visit
here to-day, arriving in the morning and leav-
ing early in the afternoon. The general
thoroughly inspected Bolivar Heights and the
adjacent country. From the feeling exhibited
by the secesionists in the vicinity of Martins
burg and Winchester some credit may be at
tached to the rumor that jackson has again
been largely reinforced. But while l have
confidence in the ability of Fremont to sue
cessfully cope with jackson in the valley, it
is believed that in the event Of his
meeting with a reverse the preparations
which Gems. Banks and Sigel are making in
the vicinity of Winchester will render any
success which the rebels may achieve but of
short duration. The bridge across the Poto-
mac at this point was completed this forenoon,
and its security tested by the passage of a
heavy burden train. The road between here
and Winchester is being rapidly repaired, and
it is believed the government will have its use
in few days, thus greatly facilitating the
transmission Of supplies to the army in the
valley.
WINCHESTER, VA, June ia messenger
from Mount jackson reports all quiet in front
of that place, this morning. The enemy s
pickets, though few in number, are about five
miles beyond. All is quiet here.
