The rebel papers are troubled about affairs
in Mississippi. They acknowledge that the
control of the river by our gunboats between
Port Hudson and vicksburg, prevents the
shipment of supplies from the country west
Of the Mississippi. GriersOn's raid, too,
with its effects is a matter Of lamentation.
The Montgomery Adrertiser says of it
The people of Central Mississippi are now suf-
ferinr the consequences of one OF the most daring
raids which has been committed by the enemy
since the war began. In their march the Yam
KEGS have destroyed an immense amount Of stores,
Greatly needed at the present time, and have
done almost incalculable injury to the country.
A Georgia paper says
The boldness and impudence Of the Federals in
some cases were remarkable. A couple Of their
scouts were sent into Hazlehurst an hour or two
before their raid uron the place, who walked
boldly into the Telegraph Office and penned a dis
patch to JACKSON. stating that the Yankee rad
ers had turnei TO the northeast Their true
character, however, being recognized, there was
some talk Of arrestinz them, when they-the
Yankees-drew their pistols. dehed the ofhcers
