BY MONDAYS MAIL.-The Eastern mail of
Monday evening brought US the Monroe Reg
lister of the oath, and numbers of the Daily
Memphis (Jackscn) Appeal as late as the 1Stl
ult The news is unimportant, but we ga thel
up such items as may be of interest.
All accounts confirm the fact that our bat
teries at Greenwood, on the llth ult.. sue
&c ssfully resisted and drove back the gun
boats of the enemy on the upper Yazoo Private
reports say the enemy attempted to land in
1antry, but Cur troops CALAMITY waded through
water to their armpits and defeated the effort
Their fleet consisted of some half dozen rams
and gunboats, and twelve or fifteen transports.
The infantry forces yariously estimated at
from FIVE to eight thousand This NAV be
noticed as another instance of the inefficiency
Of gunboats against any. determined resistance
from land batteries and infantry The false
estimate we placed upon the power of gunboats
caused US irreparable losses in the beginnin q
of the war.
The enemy were at fernando. Miss, on the
10th. They displayed their usual spirit by
destroying the county records, and stealing all
the horses and negroes they could reach.
The yicksburg Wing of the 18th says that
the enemy made second attack upon Green
wood, and were again repulsed. We burned
the steamer 35th Parallel to prevent her ia l.
ing into the hands of the enemy. The Ed.
Gay made narrow escape. Preparations are
being rapidly made for better defence, and.
confidence is felt in our ability to maintain
ourselves until the enemy shall be forced to
abandon the expedition through Yazoo pass
Our loss thus far is quite small. Such assn
RANGES are worth good deal more now than
they were in the beginning of the war.
We receive very vague and unsatisfactory
accounts of the land operations against Port
Hudson. 1t seems to have been the intention
"t Gen. Banks to have made land attack in
conjunction With the late attempt of their fleet
and large forces were advanced from Ba ton
Rouge to the vicinity of Port Hudson. These
forces failed to Cooperate, AMI have since tall
en- back again. There are various reports in
circulation of our army having attacked them
on the retreat, and captured a large number
of prisoners also that the enemy were very
much demoralized-looked upon Port II udson
as a slaughter pen-would not fight SC, &c
all of which is yet doubtful.
Only two vessels passed up in the late en-
gagement-the Monongahela and the Hart
ford. They, have passed above Grand Gulf.
