IS Tn the hand of the Confederates. how or by whom taken sin was not informed The federals are very uneas at Memphis abont Helena, had sent one regimen down and were about starting another. Notmn! about Memphis indicated an evacuation federa officers at Memphis acknowledge themselves whipped people. Contederates are now running trains on the Miss. and Tenn. Railroad to Her nando, Miss. All the recent reports of federal de feats in Virginia which we have had, seem to et fully confirmed by the Northern papers. The. acknowledge the loss by Gen'l rope of ms equip age official papers, etc., and think they VIII prove ofincalcuable advantage to the rebels, as they showed the whole plan Of the cafnpalgh as iaid ou by Gen. Halleck The writer says the whole at fair furnishes a not very agreeable commentary or Pone's orandiloa proclamations. Instead oi discardng lines of retreats, he has been very thank ful to find one. and instead of leaving the backs O. the enemy it looks as if the rebels had enjoyed dissolving view of bis own posterior, but above al
 it shows how terribly unwise it is to underrate tho power and skill of the enemy with which we are contendino. WINDSOR.

We hanpen to know that when the boat with the news reached Memphis, all papers were taken possession ef Inv the military authorities, and only so much permitted to be published as they pleased. When we get the other side of the story it will be found more favorable and nearer the truth.-ED. T. U.

 Tho following is from the Memphis Bulletin If thc Cth The greatest of all the battles Of the war isinpsudiug; both sides are sending up all their ovsil.hle achievements.
