dred rebel prisoners, captured by Gen. Grant,
arrived at Memphis o-day. Dispatches from

upon his rear.

VARIOUS INTERESTING REPORTS

New YORK, May 9.-Murfreesboro' adj
vices of the 10Th say that the backward move
ment commenced by portion of Bragg's
army under breckenridge, has become gener-
AL and Polk and Hardee have Withdrawn their
forces.in the direction of Vicksburg, though
BrBgg keeps his quarters at Shelbyville, as if
to watch Rosecrans. Letters dated May 20
say that Colburn's division. of Bragg's army
has actually been sent to Mississippi, and
Braggs army is now falling back to the line
of the Tennessee.
A Murfreesboro dispatch of the 2Sth says
that Gen. Grant. at latest advices, was still in
position before Vicksburg. The rebel account
of six unsuccessful assaults are exaggerations.
They seem to have magnitied every reconnoiS-
sance into an assault. 1t seems certain, how
ever, that once since Saturday Grant did make
pretty general assault, and failed to carry
the works. Johnston has not yet attacked
Grant, but he was gat ering his forces not far
away. 1t was not supposed the city could
hold out longer than the 18th under the ire
memdous fire of Grants artillery.
Another MurfreesborO dispatch says an
order was sent to the camp last night, to hold
| themselves in readiness to march at a mo-
| ments notice, without rations. The reports
| OF formidable demonstrations on our right
are not confirmed, but there is rebel force
enough in that quarter to keep our troops on
| the watch.
Memphis dispatch OF the 28th says Gen.

Indiana, are reported killed; Capt. Holman

ton had his right hand shattered, while grasp
ing the colors Of his regiment, and endeavor-
ing to rally his men under murderous fire.
A dispatch from Somerset, Ky, May 2Sth,
says that about two hundred rebel cavalry
made another dash to the north Of the river,
| this morning, and captured few more of
Woltords cavalry. The men escaped suisse
quently, but lost their horses. Five thousand
reintorcements are reported to have arrived at
Cumberland Gap. 1t is also rumored that
Morgan has gone there. Our soldiers are
waiting for the storm to break.
MURFREEsBoRo, Tenn, May 28.-All is
quiet in this department. The rumors of a
formidable demonstration on our right are
hardly confirmed. Some portion of the enc
my'S vidette line has been retired. Brigadier
Gen. Harding has rendered his resignation on
account of disability.

formerly known as the Douglas and Breckin-
ridge democrats, and latterly as war and
peace democrats, are making overtures for
fusing on the state ticket. There is some
prospect that they will meet each other half
way, on platform, the main plank of which
is opposition to the administration. The
Union party is holding primary elections pre-
paratory to the eth Of June state convention.
The contest is mainly between ex-congress-
man Low and Gov. Stanford, who are leading
candidates for the governorship. A nomiha-
ton by the Union party is deemed equivalent
to an election. Hence great importance is
attached to the primary elections, and there
is very vigorous struggle in each county.

AMEsBURY, Nov. 26.


MIR. GRAoE-Dear Sir:-In lines of gratitude l
have to thank you for The benefits l have received
from the use ofyour salye. At the time OF the en-
gagement at Pensacola between the privaeer rebel
schooner Judith and The Colorado, Sept. IA, 1861
was struck by bullet, which passed through my
leg, striking comb in my pocket, and without my
knowledge at the time, driving part of the teeth
of the comb into the wound, At the lime the
wound was supposed to be properly cared for by
the surgeon, bur it did not heal. II of seri-
nature that in the opinion Of our field surgeon
Dr. q. X. b. Horner, and assistant surgeon, DIR.
kennedy, / should be rendered unfit for service,
and was discharged on the 18th day of July. 1862.
Since l arrived home my wound has troubled me
more or less until three weeks, when it intamed
and swelled so as TO cause me eNcruciating pain.
Forseveral days engaged the services of Dr. j. b.
Gale, who lanced and probed it, after which ap-
piled your salve, on the recommendation of my
neighbors and after three days it drew out four
teeth of the comb, and the Inflammation immedi.
atey subsidized, when the salve rapidly healed up the
wound. The cause of all my pain from this wound
the teeth OF the comb remaining in it, and feel
now as if had received a permanent cure, and |
cannot be too thankful for the relief have received
from the use Of your salve.
TERRY O'DOWD.
hereby certify to the truth OF the case of Mr.
O'Dowd. j. b. GALE, NJ. D.

MEMPHIS, May 27.-The steamer Sutine
from Young's Point is reported lost. On Fri
day the federal forces were repulSed at Vicks-
burg. The City Of Memphis, which left the
vicinity OF Vicksburg on Monday last, arrived
here to-day, and reports Gen. Grant as having
captured every rebel redoubt. AT one place
it was necessary, owing to the s,eepness OF the
hill, to scale it with ladders. General Hovey
led the assault. The rebels rolled their shells
down the hill at the tederaIs, which exploded
amongst them, making fearful havoc. The
fighting was going on turiOusly when the City
of Memphis left. The federal losses are SAID
to be very heavy.
CHICAGO, May 29.-The Times Copper
head) has dispatch dated 'In the field Near
Vicksburg, May %, 8 p. NJ" This dispatch
says there has been no fighting to-day. The
troops are resting from yesterdays assault.
Our repulSe was complete IN all parts of the
line. No encouragement need be entertained
OF our final success. We are entrenchlng
ourselves and building rifle pits. Cavalry
have been sent out towards Canton to ascer-
tain the whereabouts Of Gen. Johnston. Our
loss yesterday was not far from one thou

CAIRO, May 29.--Gen. Banks is reported
as coming up the Mississippi river. The
rebels report that Gems. Cneatham and Feath-
erstone were wounded In the Mississippi
fight, and that Joe Johnston is massing large
force at the Black river bridge. The report
via Memphis that Gen. Grant has captured
every redoubt at Vicksburg is discredited.
New YORK, May 29.-The Tribune has a
dispatch which says a boat that left Vicks-
burg Sunday reports that Grant was gaining
ground; and that there was no fighting Sun
day, according to a telegram from Gen. Rose
Grams. The dispatch says ''the capture of
Vicksburg may have been postponed by the
over zeal of admiral Porter in destroying he
heavy guns and munitions at Chickasaw and
Haine'S bluffs. They would have been useful
