, edly 81, in their front. MoutOn was pres
sing their rear. Green's orders were TO
march 20 miles = day II necessary.
The course OF Banks army has been van
dalic in the extreme. They carried off
| horses, teams, negroes, and even the ear
, rings from the ladies cars. They took from
/ $4,000 TO 10000 negroes. They pressed all
! the teams and carried out oil the cotton
and sugar they could. The crops Gre Sc
riouSly impaired, and fences destroyed in
many scctione. Yet something will be
, raised.
| From all Mr.. B. could learn the enemys
/ loss in the battles on the Teche and Ver-
million was about 5000. Their army was
certainly 10000 strong.

/ Blair Col. Parsons telegraphs inforna-
( tion obtained up to yesterday, 26th, from
/ fcdcrals at Napoleon that the fight had been
/ going on at Ficksburg ak days. They
admit being repulscd badly each time by
land and water. From citizen spy in
secret service, he obtained federal admis-
zion that their forces were in n perilous
situation in The vicinity of Vicksburg, as
their supplies had given out.-All they at-
tempt to float past Vicksburg is taken in.
The True Democrat Bulletin Of the 9th,
/ has the following extract from o letter Of
| Col. Carter to Gen. Marmadukc dated May
/ 2Gth;
give you still later pevs, condensed
/ from the Memphis Bulletin Extra, of yes
terday, Oath inst This states thut l6, 300
! Of Grants army stacked arms and sur
rendered in Jackson. 1t does not give tho
number of the killed and wounded OF the
( tnderGls. Grant, anticipating Johnson
/ rout and retreat, sent his cavalry in the
rear Of Jackson, going with them himself.
| lie ani the cavalry are now cut oil from
| the river and scattered 25 miles. The pro-
! liability is they will be captured, unless
! they succeed in reaching Baton Rongc.
! Sherman, with 10000 men, WAS occupy
! ing the position in front of Haynes Bluff,
! held by him in the first battle of Vicks-
! burg, in which he vas defealcd.-He was
! to have acted in onjunction with Grant,
SO as TO divide Johnston ) force, but failed
! to make time, and did not attack until the
second day after the surrender of Jackson.
! Under Jonston's order our forces fell back,
| giving up to Sherman our two first lines Of
entrenchments, tn n Pemberton with his
| column got in Shermans rear, and the
| enemy was defeated with loss Of 5000,
rctreating in both directions, east and
west.-The paper does not state whether
this 5000 were killed, wounded or prison
ers, but simply says, "Shermans loss 8,
600" prespme they were killed, and that
the number Of prisoners and wounded was
proportional y large.
The Bulletin extra, from which this is
taken, was brought out by Dr.. Pearson, of
! Des Arc, who is well known to us.
They have stationed picket boats on this
eide of the river to prevent persons and
papers leaving this place. The Yankee
papers are very bitter against Sherman
attributing Grants defeat to his not making
| time.
