found it occupied by rebels, but six OF our
men being in it when overpowered. Our

peated this evening by travellers, though it
is discredited in military circles.

leans sale markets for cotton by loyal own

lators from the Mississippi Valley.

was loaded with ammunition, rations,

medical and sanitary stores. About fifty
suffers teams were also lost.
Gen. Mitchell, with Union cavalry, as
soon as he learned Of the crossing of the
rebels, pursued them, and Friday and Sat-
urday he killed and wounded seventy
rebels, took 200 prisoners, and recaptured
20 mules. On reaching Walnut Range
the rebels shot 200 mules to nrevent thar
falling into our hands.
