The Grenada Appeal Of the 9Th has dispatches
from Cumberland saying a battle was fought
there between Gen. Rains and Gen. Carter, re.
sulting in the defeat Of the latter, and capture
Of the entire Federal force, with stores, &c. Il
is stated that TOO prisoners wefe taken. The
SGne paper says Ten. Buell. is in q very preca.
riouS position. These are Rebel reports md
must be taken with grains ot allowance. News
from below is very conflicting. The appeal
states that Breckinridge attacked Baton Rouge
with 1000 men and was repulSed. Gen. Clark.
Of the Confederate army, was not killed, as At
| first reported but was seriously wounded.
Federal General Williams is reported killed, after
| .l..ls
Brcckinridge's dispatch says that the attack was
renewed, but there is no further mention Of the
affair.
The appeal publishes report Of the blowing
up Of the ram ArkGnSus, but is inclined to doubt
it.
Rebel reports represent Buell. as having Kirby
and Smith in his front aud Bragg in his rear.
It is currently stated that Van Dorm and Breck-
inrdge are c,anbninS their forces for an attack
on New Orb ans; the blow will not be long de.
layed.
The Federal feet at that city may prevent q
result satisfactory to the Rebels.
