mac, say the importance and dimensions of our
victory increased as the particulars develop.
During the whole time of the battle before
Richmond every movement of the enemy
was reported from balloon two
thousand feet in the air, which con-
nccted with the headquarters Of Gen. Nc
Clellan by telegraph. This is believed to be-
the first balloon reconnaissance ever Successful
" made during battle, and is certainly the
first time that telegraph station was estab.
lshed in the air to report movements Of the
enemy and progress of tho battle.
After the rebel force had passed down, thus
causing division of their forces, as above
stated, part ofthe rebel force which went to Kos
suth had to march OH foot, in consequence of
the insuficiency Of transportation, and will
probably BE- captured, as a large force Of caval-
~ is in pursuit. tits not presumed that the
part which went to the Grand Junction will
make any stand there, but move down the
Mississippi Central Railroad to Jackson, and
thence ria the Southern Mississippi Railroad
to Meridian, OH the Mobile and Ohio road,
forming junction with those who moved down
the hitter road direct. The impression prevails
that the destination Of the whole force is Rich
mond, which they can reach ria Mobile.
An expedition, 1000 strong, Of Federal cav
airy, was sent out, Wednesday night, to des.
troy the bridge ofthe Mobile and Ohio Railroad,
40 miles south Of Corinth, and after forced
marches by day and night. through very
difficult country. they finally succeeded in
reaching the Railroad at Boonville. and des-
troyed the track in many places south and
north Of the town. They blew upone culvert
and destroyed the switch and track and burned
up the depot. A large amount Of commissary
stores were captured together with three
pieces Of artillery. They took several hundred
prisoners and found $500 sick and wounded
at Bonneville.
At the depot they destroyed locomotive
and train Of 26 cars. loaded with supplies
Of every. kind. They destroyed 10000 stands
Of small arms and great quantity Of clothing,
and paroled 1000 prisoners. The enemy had
heard Of the movement, and had train Of box
cars. with flying artillery and 5000 infantry
running mp and down the road bat did net
succeed in preventing the complete success d
the enterprise. The result viii be embarrass.
ing to the enemy. and contribute greatly to
their loss aud dsmoralixation.
