Our scouts report at Grenada, from West

HURsT's renegade Tennessee regiment of Fed
eral cavalry had fallen back from Palo Alto
toward COrinth. North Mississippi appears to
be now entirely clear of Federal troops below
the old lines.
Heavy firing was heard at Yiclsburg yester-
day in the direction of Grand Gulf, but as the
lines were down-supposed to have been cut
nothing is known as to the result, beyond what
we stated yesterday. Gen. STEPHENSON tsle-
grsphed headquarters that eighteen steamboats,
loaded with troops from above were moving up
the YsEoo From the display made it was con-
isctured the movement was going on for the
purpose Of attracting attention from other points
that were to be seriously attacked.
Scouts from the river at Austin report the
passage into Moon Lake as now impracticable.
The river Is twelve feet above low water mark,
but is falling at the rate of six inches per day.
A few transports are passing up aud down
