THE NEWS.


Gen. Hatch's command entered Cul-
pepper, on Saturday, and attacked and
rep ulsed about 100 rebel cavalry, said to
belong to the Sth Louisiana regiment,
killing one, wounding five, and taking l l
prisoners. Among the latter was Lieu
tenant who, few hours before, was seen
within our lines, and German who had
three times broken his parole Two
horses were also captured Our loss was
three slightly wounded,
Murfrcesboro was assaulted on Sunday
by the rebels, and two generals and Il
Michigan regiment were captured. The
railroad depot was destroyed by the
rebels The town was afterwards shelled.
The rebels are reported as being on their
march to Nashville The inhabitants of
the city are confident of the ability of the
government to defend the place.
The rebels have captured Memphis, in
the northern part of Missouri, and taken
about ninety Union citizens prisoners

this advantage, that for them to guess and
to think will not be contrabaud, while the
correspondent under parole would be
pretty likely to regret even the shrewd
ness of his published surmises.
With the army everything proceeds
quietly, and were it not for the continu-
anee of hot weather, with its debilitating
effects, the men would enjoy the short
season of rest they seem likely to have
The hot sun is hard on fatigue parties,
detailed for intrenching or chopping,
causing few cases of sunstroke. The
daily drills are so arranged as to come of
in the cool of the day, and every effort is
made to save the men us much MS possible
from unhealthy exposure. They surely
have earned the right TO some consdera-
tion. A great blessing to the army is the
near vicinity of the James river, in whose
waters it may freely bathe.
1t would not be bad idea to follow
ont the suggestion recently made by II
prominent officer, that the troops be
marched by regiments or companies to the
river, be marched in for wash or BATH
having the thing so systemati2ed that
every regiment should get its weekly or
semi weekly cleansing, as regularly as it
is obliged to go through drill, So nsed
the James would be the best physician and
physc that yet have ministcred to the
health of the army
The sick and wounded men, thrown by
the fortunes of war into the hands of the
Rebels, have not been forgotten by Gen.
Mcclellan. Yesterday flag of truce
was sent across the lines, bearing request
that we be allowed to send hospital stores
to our disabled soldiers, held by them as
prisoners, and that they he accompanied
by physicians and surgeons TO give the
necessary treatment. 1t is understood
that favorable answer was returned, and
that the way is now open for the accom-
plishment of these humane objects
Our steamers have passed and repass-
ed the river to-day, undisturbed by the
aipping of Rebel shell. President Lin
coin is, doubtless, before this, safely, at,
and may be beyond Hampton Roads

ion, expressed in recent letter to the
Times, to the effect that the guns whcl
the Rebels have fired at our transports
are nothing more than field pieces which
are not kept stationary at any point, bni
