CoRurH June 20.
A force from Sherman's command occupied
Holly Springs, and destroyed several pieces
Of tressel work on the Mississippi Central Rail
road. The machinery for repairing and manu-
faeturlng arms was removed from Holly Springs
to Atlantis, Ga.s previous to evacuating.
CoRISTH, Miss, June p.
In response to General Halleck's can, large
amounts Of provisions have been received from
st. Louis for the suffering Mississippans, and
distributed literally among the inhabitants, who
were gratified. a-
The railroad is now open to about eight miles
rom Grand Junction. and It is expected viii be
open to Columbus and Memphis BY the 25th
At Headquarters there has been received Off
BY the rebels, and the occupation thereof by the
Federals.
Deserters state that Beauregard turned over
his command TO Bragg and went East without
troops.
The rebels are taking up rails north Of JepeIlo
and carrying them south to complete the road
from Meriden to UniontoWn.
COntrabsnds say no troops have been sent East,
and there IS no intention OF sending any thther.
CoRINTH, June %.
u IS now positively ascertained that Beaure-
gard turned over his command to Bragg on the
10Th and LEFT for Montgomery, where he arrived
on the nth, accompanied only by his personal
Staff and LEFT for Richmond. There are tWo-re-
ports received here stating the cause Of his de-
parturei one that he goes East to take COM
mand; another that he goes. there to explain
the evacuation Of Corinth, The latter is eonsid-
cred most probable, as it is known that for some
time Beaufegard and JEFF. Davis are on antago-
nistic terms. 81. -fH

Our trip from Camp Chase was anything
but pleasant one, yet tho men stood it with
out serious inconvenience, very few being ro-
ported sick at the end of the journey, and
those only temporarily ill. We left COlum-
bus, as you are aware, on the 1lth, and ar
rived at Beliaire at 10 o'clock on tho morning
of the 18th, where we we're put aboard Of
open coal cars, and took the coal smoke and
dust for l00 miles, boing, upon our arrival
here, as black a SO. Of mortals as you would
wish to sec. Our rations during the trip CON
sisted of hard bread and meat, with cAntoons
filled with coffee, fare at which we did not
complain, but not quite as good as We had
been accustomed to at home.
The country along the route is very rough
and thinly inhabited, the people, judging
from the huts and shantisS, being generally
poor, but they mostly cheored us Justify as we
rolled by. We passed Cheat Mountain, Mill
Springs, and New Creek-at which latter
place portion Of the 9th Ohio Cavalry are
encamped-but did not stop at either.
We have a very pleasant camping ground
here, on the summit of hill, close to the city
"a healthy spot I think, as it is high and dry.

eight thousand inhabitants, and was -four

VIZ HAVE received the following note in
regard to an article which appeared in our
paper Of Friday last, headed "Attenion,
Rear Rank -
CLEVELAND, June 2ist, 1852.
Sir In your paper Of yesterday appeared
an article headed i'Attention, Rear Rank" I"
which speaks in q disrespeetful and insulting
manner Of the officers who are stationed in
this city. cannot allow the article TO pass
in silence. Why you should speak in the
manner you did Is as surprising as 1t is un-
/ patriotic and insulting. You seem poIy fear
/ ful some officer will not get into service until
/ the war Is over; you would probably take de-
/ light in seeing them lose an arm or a leg
Now, sir, you think the country needs men
so very much, why not go yoursetf Until
you do something for your country, let me
warn you that silence in this matter may be
your best policy.
In conclusion, I viii say that by the arti-
Gle Of Friday last you have made at least
one enemy. 0FFIcER.
We do not think any sensible person can
taks exception to the article referred to. It
alluded In no way to those officers who are
here on duty, and who attend to their bust
ness. But we are very glad indeed if we
have succeeded in getting the "ohieer" so
near an enemy. That is the soldiers place,
and We feel rejoiced that we have been the
means Of placing him where he belongs. As
to our joining the army, we beg leave to in
form the ''Ofieer'' that We have already had
the honor Of serving the country three months
as private, though we have never been dis
gracod by wearing shoulder straps, and
parading the streets when We held no CON-
mission whatever, as many who style thOm-
selves officers arc in the daily habit of doing.
We are informed that ''silence on this subject
viii be our best policy" We infer from this
that We are in danger of getting a thrashing,
therefore wo will state for the benefit of the
"Oficer" that we are not lighting man we
weigh just two post Office rates, and being
very slender, 1--WE are not much more corpu-
lent than a hoe-handle,) we think We have
the advantage, for should the officer come at
US with a sabre, he can give US no flesh
wounds, and before he could strike second
blow we could fall back-in good order, of
our pen-holder, and wait for
endorsements to come up. In conclusion,
we repeat, we do not think any one can take
exception to our article of Friday last, and
# by its publication we have in the slightest
degree offended the officer, we most respect
'ully inform him we are very glad of it, and
We have nothing to take back.

ANDREWS PATENT PIPE.-We have seen
and tried one of these pipes, and do not hesi-
tate in pronouncing it superior to anything
Of the kind now in use. The bowl is made
Of DovOnshire clay, and gives to the tobacco
peculiarly pleasant fragrance. The tobac-
co does not become moist as in ordinary
pipes, as the drip beneath receives the saliva
that insensibly. escapes into the STEM
Hence the pipe does not become Extensively
rank, and the breath of the smoker does not
proclaim to every one he meets that he has
been " "indulging in a pipe" Messrs. Jones
