FROM CAIRO AND BELOW.

Cairo, Nov. ID.
The Bulletin of the 18th inst. contains
the following;
We learn from gent who has Just ar
rived In this city from below, the particu-
lars OF the operations of the Mississippi
Marine Brigade which is, at present. in
charge OF Col. George Currie, who has
been doing etfectual service for several
months past.
Three rebel mails have been captured
recently, containing valuable informa-
ton. The first mail was captured at
Campbell plantation just above Green
vile, and was exclusively from Texas
bound for Richmond. 1t was in charge
of Lieut.. j. L. Brailsford, who was re-
turning to Bragg's army.
The second mail was captured on the
9th at the same place On the 18th an.
other very important mail was captured.
1t was from Richmond and contained very
important letters and documents.
One of these letters is from JEFF. Davis
In reply to certain parties asking his opin-
Ion OF the propriety and expediency of
employing bands Of guerrillrs to DESTROY
steamboats,. He replies that be sees no
objection to the plan, and cons,rues the
act OF the rebel Congress to empower the
formation of bande for tina. purpose
There were other documents of equal in
terest.
Col. Currie's brigade has been quite
active lately. They keep the enemy at a
wholesome distance from the river.
We learn that already some one ia on
the heels of Montgomery and his party
VINO recently burnt the steamer Allen
Collier.
The Colonel has captured in all some
sioo' ooo in confederate money and fifty
prisoners during the past month. One
., tue latter was man going from Macon,
Ca to Camden, Ark, with a machine
Tor spinning cotton, which he said would
be worth million of dollars to him. if
he had only got it through.
The brigade manage TO pay their own
way, cutting their own wood. &c.
JEFF. Davis arrived at Richmond IN
the 9th inst. "
The Enquirer is much exercised on the
result of the North Carolina election
~hich has sent one or two peace men to
Congress.
Inc Richmond papers say that the
nanAee prisoners are to be sent down to
Dan''iie, Lynehourg, and other places.
