CA1Ro. July @. 1852.
have just arrived from Columbus. Two |
trains have arrived-one On the Mobile and |
Ohio railroad, at seven o'clock. The accounts |
previously received Of rebel raids were greatly
exaggerated. From official information ! de-
rive the following account:
I've hundred Of Jackson's cavalry came to
the house Of q wealthy man named Beadle,
residing near Humboldt, early yesterday
morning, and as he WIS about starting to pI-
lot them to the bridge inside Of our lines, he
discovered party Of Six OF seven federal
scouts riding towards them; concealihg him
self behind fence, Bead1e directed the rebels
to an ambush from whence, upon the arrival
Of our men, they could pounce upon and
capture them. This plan, however. Was frus-
trated By a young slave Of Beadls, 4oao, at The
risk Of his oae's 5e started aerose corn11ed and
.aa'ned the -fedsrazs Of their peril, who at once
turned back, hotly pursued by the rebels.
Only three Of our men succeeded In reaching
Humboldt safely. One received ball in the
breast, with which he rode six miles, dying
soon after he reached the town. The o:her
two we're probably captured, as they have not
been seep. Aportion Of the rebels then pro-
ceeded to the bridge, six miles from Ham
boldt, driving off the small force stationed
there, and set FIRE to It. Our men being rein
forced BY small party, drove the rebels back
to the river, where they In time
were reinforced, and the federals
again driven back, and it was
| not until our troops wera reinforced
| ffon Humboldt that the rebels were put to
| Hight, Our men succeeded in extinguishfng
! the fire after about sixty feet Of the bridge
had been burned. Col. Bissell's engineer reg
iment Eas Immediately set at work, and at
10 o'clock this morning the bridge was re-
paired. In the meantime large scouting par-
ties were sent out in every direction.
Beadle and four others supposed
to have been connected with the
rebels were arrested in the afternoon, and
eight others during the night. Beadle WAS at
once tried and sentenced to be hung this
afternoon. He had taken the oath Of a1legi-
aDce, which Was found upon his person. His
house was also burned, IS well IS the houses
Of the four others taken with him. On their
retreat the rebels burned q bridge on the his.
sissippi Central Road, eight miles from Mem
phis.
Active preparations were made at Hum
| boldt last night to meet the rebels, an attach
! being expected, and Gen. Logan threatened
: | to eet nre 10 the TOWN upon tue first alarm
Heavy forces will now guard the line Of tn
Mobile and Ohio Road all the way to Corinth
