MEMPHIS, Feb. 10, via CAIRO, 20.
The gunboat Indianola, which run past
Yicksburg, did not receive a single shot.
She had 100 bushels of coal, besides am
munition and prOvisionS.. The Indianols
had gone up Red River where the rebels
received supplies from Texas. Brilliant
results are expected.
The last boats up report no difficulty
from the batteries on the river banks.
During last night the rebels on the Ar
kansas side managed to scuttle and sink
two barges filed with coal, lying at the
landing opposite Memphis. The tOwbost
Hercules had been previously burnt and
sunk. This determined the authorities to
destroy the village Of HOpefeld, opposite
Memphis. The town is known to have been
constantly filed with guerrillAs. The
work of destruction commenced at noon.
The steamer Mill Boy was sent over to
bring away families and children. The
gunboat shelled the woods beyond the
town. Shortly after house was set on
FIRE; then house after house was fred, and
fame after flame burst cut, till the de-
struction was complete. HOpefeld is
among the things that we're.
