Col. GRIERsoN's cavalry raid through the
whole length of the state of Mississippi ap-
pears to fill the rebels in that region with fear,
wonder, and admiration. The jackson APP
peal says sit will be recorded as one of the
greatest teats of the war;" and, speaking of
Grierson's command, the same rebel paper
says, eve are prepared to hear of their ac-
comprising anything" The Appeal states
that the whole force numbers only 500 men.
They are splendidy mounted having con-
stantly ''swapped horses" with the Mississippi
rebels, with very great advantage to them
selves. They go fast having no artillery,
and depending entirely on the country through
which they pass, for their supplies.
This Col. Grierson belongs in Illinois, and
his regiment is the 9th Illinois cavalry He
entered this regiment as Major, saved it from
utter decentralization, and made it one of the
best in the services. lie is said to be very
able, brave, wary, and active, and is, evident
ly, one of those men who are rising in
the service, much TO the annoyance and
sorrow of the incompetent old fogies who
have claimed monopoly of all the fitness and
genius for military work. The rebels, ac-
cording to the jackson Appeal were making
great efforts to capture him; but he, proba-
bly,, escaped safely, either to Baton Rouge or
Grand Gulf; whether captured or not, he has
performed brilliantly most important service
and deserves the highest praise
The superiority of the rebel cavalry is no
longer apparent. The performances of
Stoneman and his officers, and of Col Grier-
son, entirely eclipse the fame of Stuart. The
unwise counsel that dis couraged the organiza-
ton of cavalry regiments has ceased to con-
troll our war department, and hencetorth the
Importance of a powerful cavalry force in
every military department, will not be ques-
toned

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Richmond Ex-
aminer of the 9TH inst, says That the destruc-
ton Of large trains of government wagons at
Ayletts, and stores of grain at that place, is
the most serious loss we have suffered from
the federal raid. The government was de-
irving large supplies from that section of the
state, and unfortunately within the last week
had largely increased its wagon trains. An
other article says that in consequence of act
i've operations in the field and limited tran
sportation, the wounded on the field and at
at Guinness depot, are suffering for food;
hence an appeal is made to the benevolent
RICHMOND, May 5.-No official dispatch

attacked on Saturday night guerrilla camp
near Horseshoe Bend on the Cumberland
river, capturing eight prisoners. This morn
ing Jacobs camp was attacked, ard after two
hours hard fighting the rebels were driven
back in great confusion, and with heavy loss.
MURFREEsBoRo', May 0.--Wheeler's di-
vision of rebel cavalry has moved from its
position on our left, and advanced in force to
Livingstone, with the evident intention of
falling upon Carter, who is reported in the
vicinity OF jamestown. This cavalry farce Is
very formidable, and the movement IS looked
upon as serious. Braggs infantry maintained
its position with the intention of occupying
our attention and to prevent Il detachment
being sent below to interfere with Wheeler's
plan

New YORK, May 11.-W Washington &C.
counts in the Post state that at daybreak on
Friday morning Gen Hooker pushed forward
two corps of his army across the Rappahan-
mock. They were under the command of
Gen. SedgwiCk, who advanced them over to
the south, and went with caution. They
gathered up the wounded that were left on the
field of the recent battles comprising both
soldiers of the Union and rebel armies, and
buried the dead When they reached the
evidences" the scene of the recent severe
conflict, they discovered the woods on fire,
and found the charred remains of large
number of soldiers, mostly rebels, who had
crept to these woods to avoid being trampled
upon by the army in its retreat. AT an early
hour this morning, Gen. Hooker completed
the crossing of his entire army, together with
his artillery and an ample supply of ammuni-
ton and stores, sufficient to last him eight
days.
As soon as he was across the whole 18th
corps were placed in motion, and deployed
right and left in search of the enemy Owing
to the terrible condition of the roads, the
movement of the army must necessarily be
slow, for day or two, but the coming week
will probably witness great conflict Gen.
Hooker does not desire reintorcements. 1t is
not believed that Gen. Heintzeman has gone
to reinforce Hooker, but there is no doubt
that his army is in notion
PHILADELPHIA, May l1.-Forney's Press
states that it was reported in Washington,
Yesterday, that our army was in motion on
the south, and that skirmishing with the rear

reported there that Fredericksburg and the
heights OF ST. Mary were occupied by our
