The Msmphs Bniletin enjoys extraordinary
facilities for obtaining information from our sid,
Of ths lines Our pickets certainly cannot b.
doing their duty We find the following in that
Journal of the I9sh:
We have important information from Holly
Springs to Saturday afternoon. According to
Enis report, Gen. Bragg, with fifteen thousand
of tbs army, arrived there last Saturday about
- s'elock and took possession of the town.
The Federal authorities had not occupied the
place. nor had they evinced desire to do so.
O0ly few companies were in the place when
Bragg sruved and al retired to the main body
Of ths sTmy, which is understood te be near
Hudsonviile, about seven miles this side OF Hol-
ly Springs. Bragg immediately made prepara-
tions Tor the defense of Holly Springs, Pickets
were put out and at last accounts the Confed-
crate and Federal pickets were only short dis
lance apart.
The programme of the Confederatss appears
to be this Bragg IS 70 endeavor 80 draw the
Federal army into fight short distance south
OF Holly Springs and PembeTton Is TO come up
on the right and Price on the left, when, it is
anticipated, Gen Grant viii be snnihilsted.
Ii IS evident from this movement Of Bragg s
that the Confederate authorities intend to stake
everything in the Southwest upon the result Of
lose Mississippi and that they viii not. Bragg
is reported 70 have said, thst the Federal army
had built foTtifeaiions at Coriash, Jackson and
Bolivar, and he meant to make them live in
them this winter.
Itis not proper for rs to state anything of
the preparations which General GFsut has
made to sustain himself sgsinst this overWheln-
ing force. That the government will give him
az srmv campstent to cope with these 10000
men under Bragg and Pembefton, we have no
doubt; and that he will so manage the means
Al his command SIS to ensure the best possible
results, bis whole military experience affords
the best possible assurance.
ADDITIONAL.
From persons lately from the South, we gather
a few additional items
Biyihe's cavalry battalion are engaged in
picking up all the consefipts that can be found,
znd all the corn and other eatables In and
around Psuola county.
The railroad trains at the South are said 10
be crowded with the movements of troops from
point to point. There is grest activity every
where.
Jackson, Miss, is still being fortified. Tho
belief is general that the great battle between
ths contending armies viii occur there.
TIE people Of Grenada are said to be quite
lively over the prospect which opens upon them
of having to move 10 other quarters. There are
some whe are already beginning to calculate the
chances, aud prepare accordingly others will
remsin. The APPEAL people, who have been
SO FaapageoRs where there was no danger, VIII
probably be brought up standing with some
whom they have denounced.
The cars on the Mississippi and Tennesse
railroad noy run only to PAnOls station, some
sfxty miles from Memphis. All the territory
ihis side Of Coldwatar has been practically given
no, already, and Grenada may be expected TO
be abandoned neIt
There is 10 talk in Mississippi Of burning cot
ton IN the localities which will have to be aban-
doned They burnt every nsn's cotton ia Ten
Resses. It vas all right. Bat now their own
OK is to be gored, and they claim exemption.
Tae people of Tennessee ara represented te
be IN gpGciaf bad -odor with the 'oFerseers o.
gentlemsns' plantations 10 Mississippi. 1t is
even said that poor soldiers in the Confederate
army ffom Tennessee, have been denied a crust
of bread by tbe women Of Mississippi. Such Is
the deep seated hatred cf Tennessee! Memphis
which has fed many Of the carplng herd, Il
rpec.ally denounced as an abolition hole " i

Memphis has made its arrangements to gel

now because Tenuessseans win not save them
from tie terrible whipping in store for them
and which they SO richly deserve
