10th Missouri; Msjog WEIGH, seth ill.,; Major
Jones, 9th Iowa, wounded; Major Twins, 4th
Iowa, killed. Full reports of killed and
wounded cannot be obtained, as most of the
killed were in Sherman's corps, and remained
at dark in the hards of the enemy. The list
will be telegraphed tomorrow Prisoners
say Bragg was on the ridge just before they
were taken.
The successful storming parties consisted
of Woods and Baird's divisions on tho left
center, and JOhns0n's and Sheridan's ON the
tight. Some of our wounded were left in the
hands of the enemy, after Gen. Sherman's I'M
successful assault, but were ultimately re.
covered.
CAIRO, Nov. 25.
I'VE have Memphis dates to the evening of
the 23d. A large meeting Of the citizens of
Memphis was held at the City Hall, on the
22d inst, for the purpose of military organi-
zation under the recent order. A committee
of five was appointed 10 draft re solutions and
report at future meeting. After short and
patriotic speeches the meeting adjourned to
Monday evening.
| Late accounts from Arkansas River repre-
sent that region subject to frequent incursions
by CONSUMPTION squads, who seize men and
carry them off. The citizens are compelled
to band together for mutual protection. This
state of affairs renders the efforts of planters
to gather their crops Intellectual. The amount
of cotton gathered, compared with the amount
grown, will be small Prices force is repre-
scented as small and decreasing. There is no
prospect Of favorable movement on his
part.
Last week two citizens of Memphis, named
Reeves and Wolf, nine miles back Of Mem
phis were dragged from their beds, robbed of
their money and shot by guerrillas. Reeves
was shot through the heart and died imme.
diately. Wolf received three shots in the
back, but still survives, though left for dead
by the cowardly murderers.
Late advices from Hale's Point, on the
Mississippi River, ITO miles north of Mem
phis, represent great excitement among the
people of that region, in consequence of the
wholesale conscriptons being made for the
rebel army. The party of guerrillas who fired
into the steamer Hawk-Eye State conscripted
nine citizens at that point. One of the con-
scripted men escaped and reports that they
have large camp at Woodville, Louderdale
county, 80 miles from the river. They were
to have had a meeting on the 22d, when they
expected to muster 900 strong. This force
was to be divided into parties, who would
sweep the county of mules and horses and
conscript every man able to bear arms. The
people are leaving their homes and fleeing in
all directions.
A Memphis paper of the Odd says it is be-
lieved that in a few days the restrictions pre-
venting cotton coming in there from the coun-
try will be relieved.
