occasionally with shell, one striking near
mortar boat, exploded, covering it with mud.
Many women al children are said to be in

able to get away.
Describes from the rebels say they have vast
quantities Of supplies in Ficksburg, and that

WHAT THE REBEL PAPERS SAT.
Especial Dispatch TO the Chicago TEibune1
WASHINGTON. Maye5 1855.
Richmond papers Of yesterday morning,
received here Tonight, lie vigorously in their
efforts to conceal their disaster ut Eicssbury.
Witness the following. extracts from the
Richmond Examiner, sd j
4 telegram. dated Jackson, from the repor-
ter Of the Mobile -idyrTtiser and Register, pub
lislea in another column. WAS received here
yeste rdav, mud 1t was at first read without
criticism and believed, ccc lsioning no little
gloom, especially among the weaker persons
ot the community, but Theu revealed 1t was
found that the dispatch wouldn't stand in
trtctlon; and in the course Of the day the
whole account became pretty generally us
credited. This reporter tells Of a hattie Sun
day. ard further on states what is perhaps the
only autht ntic Information he gives, that Gen.
Lofipg is in command ut jackson. That Lor-
here Of this Sundays BATTLE, is
pretty good proof that there was 70
such battles. Il is to be presumed that he en-
joys in almost equal degree with tue reporter
facilities for acquiring and manufacturing
Intelligence relatlre to the Government. Our
troops at jackson are in high state
of excitement, and it doubtless the tie tire of
countless runners. Out of these rumors the
reporter has made his story. As to his state
1nents of our tremendous loss Of artillery,
there may be something in that, though that
should be received with caution, To the fur
thcr discredlt Of the dispatch we may add
that it was not believed Ia official circles, and
that up to late honr last night no information
bt Ell received later than Gen. Juhuson's dis
patch Of the 18th, whic ich conveyed iuforma.
ton that Gen. Pemhcrton had been attacked
ut Edwards Depot, and compelled to fall
