General Commanding
The following despatch, sent By Gen.
Bcauregard to the War Department, is,
Ot course, the most reliable statement of
the result
"Reports of commanders show fourtee
pieces OF the enemy's artillery broug ut

colors, and 5000 prisoners captured. A

Of Huntsville and Decatur by the federals.

when the enemy approached Decatur

licuicnants was present. lie opened the
draw 10 prevent their passage, but the
citizens Of 'ecatur, being threatened with
the destruction of their town, opened the
draw aud permitted them to pass over.
The enemy burnt the bridge Of the Mem
phs aud Charleston road, over Bear creek,
near the Mississippi and Alabama line
We can hear of no further damage done
BY them, excepting the capture Of a train
of cars on their arrival at Huntsville
The force At Decatur, if any remains,
must be quite small. At Hun tsville it is
estimated at last accounts to be about
5000. They are harmless there, and only

occupying the railroad.
