COLUMBUS, June 81, 1s64.-Is Eeens son

tous parsonage commanding corps in the fol
eTal army, and bearing the singular and uuas
mon name Of Smith, has turned up sure eneu

Of Tishominge Creek, which said certain nua

valiant generals, to-wit: Grisrson sad Ss1Tge
Whether the fsts of these two heroes eIsTeifst
any influence on the aforesaid Smith in dsost
mining his movements is not yet known; Ieovs
is certainly very clear that he Is in that ms are
ing position called qusndsry. If he don tTe 7
low in the footsteps Of his "illustrious predFER
soTs," It viii be equivalent to az aeknqwlo3ev

At the risk Of having charges preferred against
me, of furnishing information to the enemy, I
viii here inform Mister Smith that be can come
along, Just whenever he feels like it. The read
is pretty good now, and there are only ore OF
two big 'Forrests" in which there is any dan
ger or difficulty. Trus, these "FOrreets" have
been found by the Yankees TO be imPssta6le
heretofore, and Il is suspected they are as bad
in this respect as ever, III not more so'
It is said that Lee and Forrest have had a
"big talk" lately. If this be 50, the 'blues'
may look out, for it means danger and disaster
to al Yankees.
Il is reported In town, and BY some believed,
that the same Smith has, wishin day or two,
taken his command up the Mississippi river
from Memphis. II may be ruse to deceive
Lee sRd Forrest, or he may hsve concludsd that
the upper route is more healthy at this sessen
of the yesT. I don't think he has fooled any
body yet.
see Jzdge Claytsr, of tho Confederate dis
triet court, will hold term at Macon soon. Il
is thought if he would inquire into certain little
questions about Columbus and Aberdeen, be
could threw q few thoussnd dollars into the
Confederate treasury. 1 learn theTe is property
in and about each plaee owned by parties yhs
have gone to Ysnkeedom s1d make It ec7ire-
nient to stay there. And that is not all. They
are said to have correspondents within our tinss
have no personal knowledge in the matter but
many citizens have, and viii eheerfplly afford
all necessary information if called upoH.
