CAIRO, October 26th.-The Memphis
Bulletin of the 24th says:
On the 21st the advanced Union forces
eastward from Corinth met with resist
ance at Cherokee Station, eighty7nine
miles from Tuscumbia.
General 0sterhaus was in the advance,
and had not advanced far when he en-
countered two brigades of rebel cavalry
under Generals Lee and Forrest, estim-
mated at from 1000 to 5000
The fight lasted an hour, when the re-
bells were driven back with severe loss
Our loss was severe in killed, and
81 were wounded, most of which were
made by mistaking Lees cavalry, who
were dressed in blue overcoats, for our
soldiers
The rebels are said to have very strong
Notifications mile this side of Tuscum-
bia, on the railroad.
Prisoners report that the enemy ex-
pect to make stout resistance there.
They say they had 1000 men there on
Tuesday, and received reinforcements OF
1000 cavalry on Wednesday, and 1000
more were expected fl ON Bragg
The steamer Mist, just from below, on
her way to Memphis, while landing On
the Mississippi side of the river fifteen
miles above Helena, on the 2lst. was
boarded by ten or fifteen guerrillas and
robbed of $4,000 and other valuables
They then fred the boat, which was
consumed, together with a number o.
bales of cotton The boat was owned
at Paducah Loss, $4,000.
The new trade regulations went into
effect at Memphis to-day.

ceipt of nearly 1000 bales of cotton il
one day.

our forces. If Lee should essay to cross
to this side, he may not find another ad-
vance towards Washington as easy
matter as his late one. Skirmishing to-
day is lightly kept up.
The Treasury Department recently
sent 81 100000 to the West, for the pay
ment of troops.
The following is from rebel papers:
CHIcAMAUGA, Oct. 81.
To Gen. Cooper:
The following dispatch was received
from Maj Gen. Stevenson:
CHARLESTON, Tenn, Oct 20
The cavalry under Morrison and DID
bord attacked the enemys cavalry in
force at Philadelphia to day, capturing
about 400 prisoners, their artillery, small
arms, camp equipage, &c. Our loss was
nothing. They were entirely routed.
CHARLESTON, Oct. 81. The enemy
were pursued to their defenses at Lou
don, and arrived there after dark. Their
force is not known. Their loss is 700
prisoners, and FIVE wagons loaded with
stores, ten ambulances, six pieces of ar.
tillery, lot of horses, mules, and other
property.

Another Guerrilla Outrage.

from the Memphis Bulletin, Oct the 24thl
AS the steamer John H. Groesbeck.
which arrived here last evening from
New Orleans, was passing Laeenia Land
ing, the guerrillas, according to their
custom, commenced to fire into her. 1t
NAV have been on account of the guns
which the Groesbeck carries at her bow,
that they delayed their fire until the
steamer had passed short distance.
The Captain of the Groesbeck had no
notion of receiving a salute of that
not without returning the compliment;
consequently he brought his guns to bear
the scamps, and good dose of shells
soon sent them skedadling through the
woods The boat, however, continued the
fire, and presently two women appeared
on the scene swinging something white
attached to pole in token of submis-
sion. This was too much for the gallant
Captain, and he slackened his fire. After
waiting awhile, and hearing no more
from the guerrillas, the steamer gave
parting salute and proceeded on her
way.
The same operation was repeated at
Island 65, with similar result. If eve
~ boat would carry couple OF guns,
