E Tennessee.

PHILADELPHIA, May 19-The Bulle-
tin has a special dated Cincinnati, May
19, which states that the rebel defeat at
Raymond, Miss, is said to have been very
disastrous. Grant took jackson on the
Nth and burnt the State Capitol. Heavy
reinforcements were hurrying to the rebels
l2miles east of Jackson. A great bat
tie was imminent.
I The rebel force in Wayne and Clinton
counties, Ky, was said to amount to II,
600 and IA pieces of artillery. -Four reg
iments of infantry had passed through
jamestown and "a more regiments were
reported at Morristown, East Tenn.
Buckner is said to be at Clinton.
Rebel pickets are on the Cumberland
at every available point.
|, "A letter from Richmond, KY, says the
rebels crossed the Cumberland and were
advancing on that place. Unquestiona-
bly, another invasion of Kentucky is con.
templated to flank Rosecrans and compe
him to leave his strong position at Muir

| From passengers who arrived in the
steamship Arago, our reporter obtains the
following items of news: E
Nothing has thus far been undertake en-
against Charleston, except that OCCASION
ally small gunboat runs in and draws
the fire from the forts. The rebels be-
yond doubt, have obtained possession
of the keokuk's guns, and they were
trying to take her machinery out.
The rebels are making occasional raids
on Dawfuskie, Seabrook and Sulls Island,
but have obtained no sigual advantage, as
the force at these points is sufficiently
large to meet them. se34s slfe
There was no probability that any thing
will be done in the next thirty days against
Charleston, as Gen. Hunter has i'urlough-
ed four men from each company for thirty
days. It was rumored, though vaguely,
at Port Royal, that Scrrel's Engineer
Regiment, which had done hard work in
the Department of the South, would be
sent north to another sphere of duty.
The feet in the vicinity of Port Royal
! is not at present in position to attack
The loss OF the Keokuk. and the disa bled
Passaic, are seriously missed by the feet
which lies now in the different creeks and
inlets around Edisto. A few gunboats
are stationed off Folly Island, and at the
entrance to Schulz Creek, SO as to keep
the rebels from molesting our troops. .
The weather at Port Royal and Bean
fort is described as excessively hot, more
$50 than at this time last season, and as the
soldiers are very careless as to exposures
and diet, much sickness is anticipated,
All the hospitals have been prepared for
every emergency by fumigatins, vhi.e-
washing and scrubbing, and sundry strict
sanitary regulations have been established.
The negroes of late have become some
what discontented, and san.e Of thcm in
uniform have declared that they will not
fight unless they be paid like the white
soldiers. ssts6 sag 8si @ .y
