THE DIFFICULTIES IN ATTALA.

Various rumors have reached us relative
to a difficulty with parties in Attala county
aud the eonscript officers. The rumors are in
all probability Of au erparts character, and
we trust, when the whole truth is known,
the matter viii assume an entire different
phase. We cannot think that any thing like
u wide spread Union feeling or disafrection
exists 10 the county, and that the whole mat
ter willprove more q neighborhood brol, in
duced by bad whisky and bad management
rather than disloyalty.
We do not think, however, that the matter
should be treated lightly. Let the proper
authorities sift it to the bottom, and severe
ly punish the parties, If guilty, There is no
spot in the Confederacy where desertion and
disloyalty can flourish, if the voice of the
people can be heard.

THE YANKEE RAID.

Now that the dust and confusion occa-
sioned by the reported raid of the Yam
KEGS have passed away, we are enabled
10 give some particulars of the same.
On Monday morning, Gen. Whitfield,

Clinton, were ordered to get in the rear
Ola toraglng train, as was supposed, near
Brownsville. Gen'l Whitfield executed
his order and got in rear of the cavalry.
GEM Cosby, in executing his order, got
10 rear of infantry, which the enemy had
thrown IN without the knowledge of the
officers. The two commands. thus sepa-
rated could not act in concert. The enc

moving in the direction Of this place rap
idly without fighting Gen. Whitfield. who
commenced skirmishing with them. Be-

The Register Of the Goth is in high

only one outlet, and that is through the
