CAIRO, April Z.
Information has just arrived, brought by
passengers on the steamer Davenport, of
retributive justice wreaked upon the town
Of Palmyra, Tennessee, where the trans
ports and gunboat St. Clair had a skirmish
with the rebels on the I'd inst. Captain
Fitch, in command of portion Of his light
draft feet, passed up the Cumberland on
Saturday last as far as Palmyra, and found
but small part of the rebel force which
made the former attack there. On land
ing, he learned that the inhabitants had
encouraged, if not assisted in the outrage,
and gave them a specified time in which
to take their departure. He then fred
every building and burned them to the
ground.
Palmyra was a small town and had per-
hsps 200 inhabitants, but it is now num-
bered among the things that were.
