Battle on the Yazoo. LARGE FIRE IN RICHMOND.

The Memphis Appeal of the l4th has the following:
 From Greenwood.
 The following despatches were received ct headuuarters last night from Major General LoRING, in command on the Tallahatchie river: FoRT PEMBERroN, March l3, P. M-We have sustained terrific and uninterrupted fire from the enemy for the last four hours, from ten to sixteen of their heavy caiber gunboat guns, two heavy guns on land and a mortar. All their guns from the gunboats, except one, have ceased firing The gunboats have retired around the bend, eight hundred yards distant, showing only one gum The enemy's boats and batteries were struck constantly, and large quantities of burning cotton struck from them. We have lost some valuable gunners and few others Thank God our loss Is small so far. The enemy's loss must be very great.
 LATER
 MARCH I2, 7:j0 r. M.--Just sent of my last despatch to you the enemy opened upon us again, with one gunbOats gun, q land battery and thirteen inch mortar. They kept up the fire with great spirit till after sunset. Ammu> hilton for heavy guns just now arrived.
 The attempt to conquer our forces on the a zoo is made by formidable force, but we have the most cnecTlNS pOIto oI tlIc CouiucuSc o' our troops n their ability to repel their advance We also have reports that the Mississippi is falls ing. This being the case, the federas will find it necessary 10 look to their rear. They will undoubtedly be looking after Q means of retreat. and will not delay backward rnove- ment long if they find the waters are receding
 PAxoIA, March l3.- -Tolcrably authentic re- ports received here say that Helena was attacked in the rear on Monday, and parties from that drec ton say that heavy firing was heard ycsterday.- The in 'ormation comes from deserters, who say there were but 5000 troops left at Helena.
 Gentlemen from Memphis report twenty-five thousand sick in the hospitals in that city.
 The cavalry force which burned the railroad bridge at Abbevile, was oAl two hundred strong. They came out for that purpose, and having ac- complishcd it, returned.
 An explosion occurred this forenoon, in the gov ernment lsbratory, on Browns Island. near this city, in one of the buildings occupied by women and girls, employed in filling cartridges, killing and wounding thirty forty persons. The num- Der killed is not vet known, but it is believed will not exceed ten. The explosion is supposed to be the result of accident.
 Special to the Memphis Appeal.
