Ne doubt1t. a dispatch was yesterday
received from Cairo By Judge Skinner Of
the Chicago Sanitary Commission stating
in confident terms that Memphis was ours,
but that was not confirmed by our dis
patches last evening. We shall expect it
by to-morrow's issue, if We are not misled
by the intelligence We print elsewhere,
Meanwhile We have Fort Pillow, aud the
rebels have followed a custom they have
made their Own, Of eyacuating. There is
little prospect Of any more fighting on the

Cairo this afternoon, that the Federal fleet

some grains Of allowance. Capt. Carroll Of

the fort, but be saw them in the distance near

the fight and defeat OF Morgan at owingsville was
predicted upon this entering into Paris-though
there was no fight not'a gun fred, and no sign Of
war. (, n e[Kss% III
In their return to Tennessee, at Winchester,
Richmond, Crab Orchard and Somerset, large guam
titles Of stores, arms, clothing, government horses
mail coaches &C., were destroyed. At various
points along this route, over one hundred wagons
and teams laden with supplies for Cumberland
Gap, were overhauled and reduced to ashes. AT
Somerset new telegraph office was demolished and
the operator captured. .-T e.
The Yankees followed them at some distance all
the way, attempting to cut them off several times
though not making any attack. After crossing Gum
berland river, this side of Somerset, Morgan halted
and waited for them to come up, intending to give
them battle; but they went back when they found
he had crossed the river. .-.- :
Thus terminated the most brilliant, daring and
successful warlike expedition that ever was under
taken in any age or country. Our loss was but
small--not exceeding twenty or thirty in all. Nor
gan brought back safely with him the two field
pieces he carried from Knoxville, and the one he
captured at Cynthiana.
All along the route they were enthusiastically re-
ceved by the ladies. They greeted with shouts,
clapping of hands, and the warmest welcome; were
fed upon the fat of the land the daintest dishes
served up, treated to delicious wines, and every pos
sible demonstration of affectionate welcome was
bravely manifested.

FELLOW CITIZENS Justice to myself and my OBJ
legations to you compel me tn notice briefly Card
published and circulated by Mr.. H. D. Hayes, who
has been acting my Deputy for several months
anu whom have discharged from that position for
reasons known to most Of you and which Mr.. Hayes
Card partially explains
At the time that detected Mr. Hays in the at
tempt to afix the County Seal and my certificate to
apotical document or paper, without my knowledge
or consent, informed him promptly, that had no
further use for him as Deputy. The next morn
ing wrote to Mr. Hayes requesting him to S end me
the remainder of the Tax receipts, together with
the key of the Office and all the books and papers
belonging to it at the same time requesting him to
call on as early as convenient and would settle
with him. Now do not know what construction
the public can put upon such language, other than
that Mr.. Hayes was promptly discharged by me-
1t would seem from Mr.. Hayes Card that he wishes
the public to understand that l did not discharge
him. Therefore, TO put an end to all controversy
or doubt, hereby declare over my own signature
that Mr. Hayes ceased to be my Deputy, in any re-
spect, from anil after the hour / so informed him in
my office; and further, | hereby demand and re-
quest of him to deliver to at once the Tax book
and all other books and papers in his possession
belonging to my office, forthwith.
deeply regret that the imprudence of Mr.. Hayes
and his friends should compel the issue of this Card

Havoc AT THE RICHMOND BATTLEs.-The Charles
ton Nercnrys correspondent at Richmond makes
the following statement of our losses IN these bat
ties -
"Mr. Crocker, Superintendent of the Army In
tegence Office states that his books show between
l 900 and 1000 wounded in the battles before
Richmond, and thinks the whole numoer, including
those in private houses not reported to him, will be
about Il, 500. Gen. Lee, | am told, estimates the
killed at $500; TO these must be added great
many who were disabled by exhaustion, want Of
food, and good water-So that the sum total would
amount, perhaps, to $4,000 or 10000. The per
centage of deaths among the wounded has been
heavy, owing to the hot weather. have heard it
put at 80 per CONT but this is foolish. No case Of
amputation above the knee said to have recovered
but this also doubt .-... -
In the army, all agree that the Yankee loss ex-
ceeds our own 1t was greater even at Malvern
Hill, according to the report of the officer who had
charge of the burying parties, and rode over the
whole field Some of the Yankees were horribly
mutiated by the monster shells from their own
gunboats."

FIRST YEAR OF THE WAR"
by EDWARD A. POLAND


Mr.. Pollard is q very agreeable writer, and he has
succeeded in giving us a work at once spr;ghtly,
graphic, and at times dramatic. Written amid the
unyeldng exactions incident to the conducting OF
daily paper, ard within the brief space OF three
months 1t is much more elaborate and weil-con-
sidered production than the reader is prepared to
expect at the outset The author has placed before
us lively picture of the stirring events which dis
tingush the first year of our great struggle Tor lie
and liberty His style is clear animated and force
full His plan is simple and judicious, and in the
main he is discriminating and just. Occasionally,
however, he shows the rancor of the partizan, and
manifests disposition to ignore the claims OF some,
whilst he does more than justice perhaps, to others
He is specially severe upon the President and his
two unfortunate Secretaries, Mr.. Benjamin and Mr..
Mallory. And yet it will be difficult to dispute his
facts although you may not altogether admire the
in which he paints the portraits OF certain
dignitaries He sometimes uses the brush OF Rem
brandt and lays on his pigment thick, and darkens
his shades with an unspairng hand But notwlth-
standing the objections which may be urged against
particular parts the candid reader must allow 1t to
be as sohOle, truthful, spirited and edifying AS
might be supposed, there are occasional traces OF
haste, and now and then an error. We will pres
emily give two or three instances not to faulthnd,
but to suggest correction in another edition. The
most charming chapter in the book is that on the

Q. ReS0tced, That our Lodge has lost one of its
