The Disaster 10 Siurgis' Expedi-
Loss two thousand Men
-DeplorabIe State Of Affairs in
Arkansas.
ST. LOUIS june 15-Memphis advices of
the 18th contain further accounts of the EN-
gagement near Guntown, Miss. The troops
comprising the expedition were two brig
AIDES of cavalry under Grierson, two brig
AIDES of infantry, one company of the 1st
Illinois artillery, and two regiments of col
ored infantry, all under command of Gen.
Sturgis. Citizens of Ripley report that
Kirby Smith was In command of the enc
my, assisted by Forrest, Roddy and Ire.
Forrest is said to have started his entire
command for Georgia, but recalled them
upon learning OF the advance of our force'
Our troops are said to have fought with
desperate valor, but of eighteen pieces of
artillery four only were brought out, about
two hundred wagons were taken, and the
greater portion of our wounded fell into
the hands of the enemy. Cavalry pursued
our forces to C0lliersvillc. Our loss In kill
ed, wounded and captured will probably
exceed two thousand. The enemy's loss Is
supposed to be considerable, though not so
large as ours. We have no definite infor-
nation in regard to the casualties. Col.
Humphrey, of the 95th Illinois, is reported
killed; Col. Warner, of the 4th Missouri,
severely wounded. :.
Adyices from the Northern border of Ar

The country Is destitute of provisions and
forage. Shelby's command is reported at
Batesville, enroute for Missouri, on raid.
Sickles aud staff were at Little Rock on
the 9Th. He left for Vicksburg on the 10th.
The reported capture and butchery of a
refugee train which left Batesville on its
evacuation by our troops, mention ofwhich
has since been made, since contradicted, is
reaffirmed by parties who have arrived
here direct from Batesville. Seventy men
and four women we're slaughtered and the
remaining women and children left on the
road in a helpless condition, and treated in
the most cruel and barbarous manner. %

Position of Affairs Around Rich
mOnd-The Prospects Of Capture
-Sheridan,s Raid.

New York, June lG.-The Worlds Wash
ington special says it has just learned that
a large number of our wounded are yet in
the Wilderness suffering terribly. A few
days since, few hobbled On rude crutches
sixty miles, and reported the case. A force
with ambulances were sent but found the
rebels had been there and taken off about
two hundred, leaving the worst cases. Some
of these died on the way in.
The Worlds Washington special says the
best military critics here say Lee will be
compelled to fight battle at once or retreat
from Richmond
1t is not believed here that the defenses
on the south side can be carried by a coup de
main. With the surrounding roads cut, a
large army in large city cannot exist; {;
therefore Lee must either fall OH Grant with
his whole force before he has intrenchments
or evacuate Richmond, or manning his de-
fenses fall back to Lynchburg, keep open
communications and hang on the fanks of
Grants army. 1t is rumored here that Lee
would attempt to crush Hunter and menace
Washington, but there is no fear that he
will expose himself to Grant in the rear
There is hopeful feeling in all circles here.
1t is thought Achilles heel has been reached
at last. that the rebel capital and its main
army Is in worse fix than ever since the

Landing. ae ..
Another dispatch to the World says: For
some nights past the enemy has made at
tacks to learn our movements, in which
their losses were severe. Deserters give
doleful accounts of affairs at Richmond.
The Tribune's Washington special says it
is understood there that Sheridan's first
work will be to destroy as much as possible
of the road between Richmond and Freder-
icksburg, then dash on Charlottesville and
destroy the diverging roads. 1t was sup
posed that Sheridan would join Averill.-
Lees cavalry disappeared Friday, probably
in pursuit of Sheridan.
Steele's army is at Little Rock, Pine Bluff,
Fort Smith and Duvalps Bluff. Little Rock
and Pine Bluff are strongly defended. The
rebel army in Arkansas are much scattered.
The Herald's Key West correspondent
says detachment Of Union troops marched
from Fort Myers to Fort Meade, ninety
miles, met guerrillas, who fled on sight,
captured twenty-five horses, herded over
one thousand head of cattle, and drove
them all into our lines. Much provisions
and forage were also secured. Seventy
one Union prisoners were released, and
seventy women and children, nearly starv-
ed, rescued. The expedition was absent
fourteen days and marched over two hun
dred miles. Three small vessels with va
rious cargoes were also captured.
