Blunt, tie fighting General, has added
another to lis long list Of victories, and
this time has achieved q success Of which
my General in the field might be proud.
Since tue battle Of Honey Springs, Blunt,
with his little band OF 800 men, has been I
in precarious situation, where seeming
annihilation stared him in the face. The
tcbels outnunbered him nearly three to
one. An attack Threatened defeat, and to

however, Blunt made the attack with such

miles, burning their commissa1y depot
Fort Smith is the next point Of attack, and
we may confidently expect the immediate
downfall Of that rebel stronghold, and the
complete tiddance of tie Indian Territory
from rebels.
Our Vicksburg, Memphis and Cairo dis

<lctails as to the movements Of our own
forces, and news gathered from rebel fore

threatened approach Of our gallant West

attempted to address. Guerillas have
commenced their 1epredations again along

TO these rowing bandits when caught, we
should hear little of guerillas.

q political suicide. He should have ad-

The news from Charleston presents
nothing decisive. The Monitors seem to
have walked up and have had terrific
bombardment with the rebel batteries.
