GEN, GRANT STILL, AT
HOLLY SPRINGS.
The Evacuation of Island No. 10
and New Madrid.

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago TTlbune.l
CA1Ro, Dec, 80, 1862.
Nothing from Memphis to-day. Wc learn,
however, that Grant is sill at Holly Springs.
The evacuation Of the Tennessee shore, op-
poeite Island No. 10, and also the evacuation
of New Madrid, seem to have been executed
under the belief that our forces there were
not sufficient to hold out against the rebel
forces that threatened them. A movement
Las been made, however, to re-occupy New
Madrid. The S8th Iowa left for that place
today From appearances, the tids Of
events must soon turn against the rebels In
this quarter. At Columbus considerable
force has already concentrated, and it cannot
be that inaction will much longer prevail
Another regiment goes TO that place to-mor-
row.
Some miscreant attempted to aesassinate
Chas. Miller, oS Co. II, 128th Illinois, neaz

pistol shot in the left arm, which has since
been amputated just below the elbow.

Of small pox within last week. No other

CA1Ro, Dec $3.50 many st, Mary boats

vice south that there are not enough left tt
do the carrying trade between Cairo and Mem
phis. Passengers hare been here forty -eiggh
hours waiting for passage to Memphis. Two
or eyen three days elapse between arrival
from Memphis. News from that point /
| therefore Irregular.
Matters below Columbus, on the railroad
are unchanged Gen Tuttle, it is understood

New Madrid Will be rc-occupied by the SSt
Iowa, which departed for that place this fore
noon
Three deaths have occurred from small -po
